Green Jobs - Let's Seize The Opportunity
Marian Hopkins, Guest Writer
Upon taking office in January, President-elect Obama will face a daunting array of challenges to our nation's prosperity. Short-term issues include severe financial credit disruptions, economy instability and rising unemployment. But the biggest trial for the new administration will be how to address these pressing issues while, at the same time, solving long-term challenges, like creating a more efficient and sustainable energy future for America.
The good news is that economic and sustainability issues go hand in hand. There is a way to secure our energy future while building our economy and creating jobs. When we talk about creating alternative sources of energy — whether it's wind, solar or biofuels — we often overlook a vital, untapped resource right here at home: the ingenuity, talent and productivity of U.S. workers.
We must prepare for a different economy, one that nurtures innovation to solve the energy crisis. In her presidential bid, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) forcefully advocated for "green-collar" jobs, stating that they could "unleash a wave of innovation, create millions of new jobs, enhance our security, and lead the world to a revolution in how we produce and use energy." Her push was echoed by Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Obama, creating a bipartisan consensus on the need to build a greener, more prosperous economy based on green-collar principles. At Business Roundtable, we believe it is important for members on both sides of the aisle to put ideology aside and work for broad-based solutions to our nation's energy challenges.
With unemployment at a 6.5 percent — a 14-year high — we must seize this opportunity to empower and mobilize "green workers." To build a sustainable future, we will need engineers, construction workers and scientists to create turbines, affix solar panels and construct transmission grids. By investing in these and other green technologies and creating job training and lifelong learning programs to help workers enter these fields, we can revitalize America's workforce and our environment. In addition, we must invest in tomorrow's workforce by engaging today's students in science, technology, engineering and math so they can think analytically and help solve our evolving sustainability challenges.
President-elect Obama pledged during his campaign to create 5 million new jobs over the next decade by investing $150 billion in green technology. We're ready to work with him to deliver on this promise while ensuring long-term economic growth for America's citizens, communities and companies. With energy prices fluctuating wildly over the past year, the cost of energy is one of our member CEOs' top concerns and an enduring problem for millions of hard-working Americans. Ensuring greater energy security with increased domestic sources, diversity of fuels and a critical mass of green-collars workers to build a modern, sustainable economy must be a priority for the new administration.
By reaching across the aisle, taking an aggressive, pro-growth, bipartisan approach to this problem, and drawing on resources from both the public and private sectors, we believe that Congress and the Obama administration can begin to effectively tackle the economic crisis and national energy insecurity in tandem. We stand ready to work together with them to build a more sustainable future.

The Populations Past website and the associated research projects, An Atlas of Victorian Fertility Decline and Britain's First Demographic Transition: an Integrated Geography, have been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Isaac Newton Trust (Cambridge). We would like to acknowledge the generous financial support of these bodies.
The project is based at the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure, in the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, with project members also based at the University of Edinburgh and previous project members at the University of Essex.

Additional data, for some indicators, has been derived from the civil registration of birth, deaths and marriage, which was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and in Scotland in 1855. For England and Wales we transcribed parts of the tables summarising these events by year and RSD, which were published by the Registrar General in his quarterly, annual and decennial reports of births, deaths and marriages. For Scotland we derived numbers of births and early age deaths from the database created by the Digitising Scotland project. The Digitising Scotland (DS) data and research access provided by staff of the Longitudinal Studies Centre - Scotland (LSCS) is acknowledged. The LSCS is supported by the ESRC and DS from the ESRC grant ES/K00574X/2. Summary mortality data for both England and Wales and Scotland were taken from the Human Mortality Database.

Dallas transit official briefs transit partnership on mobile app trip planning
Posted on April 5, 2022 by Sean Tubbs Leave a comment
The Jefferson Area Regional Transit Partnership was created a few years ago to serve as a clearinghouse to improve the efficiency of public transit in a community with multiple service providers. At their recent meeting in March, they learned about how Dallas Area Rapid Transit has benefited from having an office of innovation.
"We now have the largest on-demand offering in North America," said, Greg Elsborg, who has been Chief Innovation Officer since 2019.
Since that time, he has focused on a few areas.
"One was to try and drive a culture of innovation across the agency and pull ideas from our employers and from communities and us, and that's been an exciting activity set," Elsborg said. "But another area has been the continued development and scalability of a mobile trip-planning and management application that we have for our transit providers."
Dallas Area Rapid Transit covers 760 square miles including Dallas, and twelve other cities. On-demand service is available in a third of the service area.
Part of their funding comes through a one cent sales tax, an idea that has been floated in this community but is not authorized by the General Assembly. (view the presentation on the GoPass Mobility Platform)
The DART system includes light rail and community rail, as well as a large bus fleet. The first mobile application was created in 2013 to help make it easier for people to travel across multiple transit systems. There is a regional fare.
"So I can pay to travel across the entire region and pay a reduced fare to travel through the commuter rail and to get point to point in Fort Worth, as well as in Denton County in the north, as well as DART's 13 cities," Elsborg said.
The GoPass Mobility Platform began in 2013 and has been updated several times. (view the presentation)
To unite it all, DART built its first mobile app in 2013. There have been several iterations of the GoPass Mobility Platform to add more capabilities over time. In 2018, they added a feature to allow riders to transfer cash to their mobile phones at local retailers.
"So if I'm an individual that doesn't have a debit card or a credit card but I'd like to use the mobile app, then I could use trip finding in the app and some of the other features, but to buy tickets, I could go and load cash at a retailer," Elsborg said. "They would scan a barcode on the app and then this loads the funds into the app directly."
In 2018, DART also introduced a fare-capping system where an individual user would no longer be charged after they'd paid a certain amount. The app tracks this information.
"And there's a really nice tracker inside the app that shows you how much you spent to get toward that fare cap total," Elsborg said.
The next year, DART introduced Multimodal Microtransit to the system which introduced on-demand services that can be used in conjunction with fixed routes. Soon there will be a new feature.
"We have a partnership that we're working on with Uber so that we can direct people to Uber rides as on-demand mode through our app without having to have an Uber account or pay for your ticket through Uber," Elsborg said. "You do it throughout our app. And that will be an industry first when that comes out."
Elsborg said DART is seeking to add other transit agencies so that there can continue to be more investment into the platform. Currently they are running the mobile app functions for over 50 cities, including Charlotte, North Carolina. One of the agencies is the one for Tulsa, Oklahoma, which until recently was run by Jaunt CEO director Ted Rieck.
"I kind of call this the Swiss army knife for mobile apps," Rieck said. "I think as we look for ways to bring our region together on transit, a mobile app like this could be a starting point."
The platform also has connections to e-scooter services as well as bike-sharing programs.
To learn more about the app, view the March meeting on YouTube. Four people have viewed it so far. Will you give it a watch on YouTube and demonstrate the power of the CCE bump?

I'm not a big fan of new year resolutions. They've always struck me as artificial—if something needs to be changed, then that change should happen regardless of what time of the year it is. Nevertheless, there is something about a change in the calendar that encourages us to take stock of where different aspects of our lives are and potentially make adjustments where necessary.
The same is true in the corporate world. There, the period of review and adjustment usually coincides with the organization's new fiscal year—but that often aligns with the calendar year, so now seems to be a good time to look at the subject.
Specifically, I want to look at PMOs and consider the improvements that they may need to make to become more effective and efficient. Every PMO is different and will therefore need to assess its own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; but in this article, I want to highlight some common areas for improvement that I come across with clients. If you have a handle on each of these areas, then you are probably in a good place to deliver a successful 2019.

These celebrations were continued regularly until, and including, the year 1780, when they were suspended until the year 1794, upon which occasion the address was delivered by Rev. Chandler Robbins, D.D.
The present Pilgrim Society was organized in 1820, two hundred years after the landing, by citizens of Plymouth, and other places in New England, to commemorate the landing of the forefathers, and to perpetuate by enduring monuments their memory and sufferings. The first president was Hon. Joshua Thomas. Although the erecting of an enduring monument was one of the chief objects of the society at its formation, no steps were taken to that end for a number of years. Bunker Hill Monument was just about to be commenced, and such was the state of the country, then far from its present advancement, that the works of collecting funds and construction proceeded but slowly, and the apparent indifference with which it was regarded by the people of the country, cast a shade of doubt upon all enterprises of a similar nature. The society however wisely kept in mind its original purpose, and a knowledge of the pilgrims and regard for their memory were diffused and stimulated by the annual addresses made at its celebrations by the most distinguished scholars, orators, and statesmen of the country. The first oration, delivered in December of this year (1820) by the Hon. Daniel Webster, has taken its place among the fixed stars of classical oratory, and would in itself have made the Pilgrims immortal.
Up to the year 1850 the celebration of Forefathers' Day had taken place on the 22d of December, that having been incorrectly accounted the date of their landing according to the reckoning of the New Style. On the 27th of May in this year, a committee, consisting of James Savage, Charles H. Warren, Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, Abraham Jackson, and Timothy Gordon, presented a report recommending that the celebration be held on the 21st, which was unanimously adopted by the society, and it has since been observed upon that day when practicable.
At a meeting of the society, held March 10th, 1853, expressly called for the purpose, the trustees were authorized and requested to make suitable arrangements for the first celebration on the 1st of August of that year, of the anniversary of the departure from Delfthaven, it being the two hundred and thirty-third year since the occurrence. No surer indication of the veneration with which the memory of the Pilgrims has come to be cherished throughout the land of their adoption could possibly be obtained, than the universal interest felt throughout the country in this celebration, -- and it was considered, therefore,, as the | proper occasion for testing the public opinion upon the "long-cherished purpose of the society to crect^m appropriate monument to their memory, and in honor of those great principles of civil and religious liberty which they first successfully established," -- and the response which was given to the proposition at that time, induced the board of trustees, at the suggestion of the president, Richard Warren, Esq., of New York, to take measures immediately afterwards to procure a suitable design for the proposed structure.
It was not until May, 1855, that, after many designs had been presented and rejected, the present one was accepted upon the most careful consideration. It was first presented to a committee appointed by the trustees expressly for the purpose of examining the design, and the proposals for carrying it into execution, and with directions to report whether it was advisable for the society to accept it, it being imderstood that its expense was much greater than the society originally deemed sufficient to erect the proposed monument. The whole matter having been considered by the committee, -- the colossal size of the monument, its unavoidable expense, -- the necessary removal of the site from the immediate vicinity of the Rock to a location giving more height of position and greater space around it, -- the time which would be consumed in collecting the funds and in erecting the monument, having been all presented, -- it was unanimously reported that the committee deem it advisable that the board of trustees should accept the design, and recommend them to do so. Upon this report the design was formally accepted by the board of trustees, and their action was subsequently approved by the society.
A few remarks upon the nature, extent, and cost of the work, will complete all that is necessary to be said in the present place. The Pilgrim Society, in determining to erect a monument to the Forefathers, intended to make a structure which should bear upon its face the avowed intention of its founders, and transmit to future generations not merely the facts that the Pilgrims landed upon the Rock of Plymouth, and there commenced the founding of this nation, which might well be left to the records of history, -- but the regard in which their memory and sufferings were held by their descendants and heirs of the nineteenth century, who look back to them from an eminence of national prosperity, which shows a vast empire extending across a continent from ocean to ocean, filled with great cities, and decked from border to border -- and from shore to shore -- with splendid dwellings, magnificent churches, colleges, schools, and asylums for the unfortunate ; noisy with ceaseless industry, rich with the sources of inexhaustible wealth, and presenting to the imagination, -- even to the inevitable conclusion of thought, -- a Future, to which the wealth and prosperity and power and resources of the Present are as trivial as the possessions of that strong-souled band of adventurous emigrants compared with our own.
It was naturally concluded that the memorial of such a nation to its founders should bear some proportion to its means, and to the grandeur of the event which was to be commemorated. It was thought that the expenditure of a sum representing one cent for each inhabitant might not be regarded as an extent of National Self Sacrifice, -- if that be the term, -- too enormous to be borne, nor the amount itself altogether too magnificent to be expended ; and, in view of the fact that the monument is to stand for centuries, ten years (the term of one-fourth of the existence of one generation,) was not accounted too long a period to be occupied with the work. It should be borne in mind that, travel with what success we may the career of national glory and progress, the landing upon these shores of that hundred of self-exiled lovers of freedom will still be the starting point of our history, -- and that, grand as may be the events- with which it is crowded, nothing will overshadow in pure, grand solemnity of thought and action, their determination to leave forever the scenes of civilized life, to battle, perhaps, with famine, and disease,-- certainly with unused-to labor, to settle in a savage wilderness, and all to plant the seeds of a pure faith and of universal religious, social, and civil freedom. History will look in vain for a greater event to chronicle,---art will never again for us have the opportunity, or the occasion, to embody themes so simply grand, so peculiarly significant. It is worthy then of all that art can offer as a testimony.
Nor, will the generations, which succeed us think greatly of our veneration for our forefathers, if, sounding it as we do from the extreme boundaries of the Republic,, in our speeches and addresses, we stint with paltry pecuniary saving the stones which we raise to their memory, -- and deny to their virtues, their sufferings, -- their labors, their wise forethought, -- the sum which we cheerfully give (and should cheerfully give) to rescue the dwelling and tomb of Washington from destruction, -- or to build (as we should build) on spots made famous by the shock of battle, shafts which, meeting " the sun in his coming," proclaim that we owe our national glory in other directions to the sacrifices of those who have passed away ; for never had a people more cause to be grateful to the memory of their founders, or more imperative occasion to obey with cheerful alacrity, love, and thankfulness, the command -- "Honor thy father and thy mother!"

Similarly, African Americans are also benefitting from the current job market surge, as unemployment rates plunged to 5.9 percent.
The economy added 223,000 new jobs, according to data released Friday by the Labor Department, a significantly higher number than the 190,000 new jobs analysts had predicted in a recent Bloomberg survey. Unemployment has fallen steadily since the Great Recession, reports CNN Money, peaking at 10 percent in 2009.
Wages grew 2.7 percent compared to last May, but the growth is still more gradual than economists would expect with such a low unemployment rate. Economists blamed bad weather for the slowdown in job growth over those two months.
"[The Fed] wants to take some of the pressure off of the labor market to avoid overheating the economy that would push inflation too far above the Fed's 2 percent inflation goal", PNC chief economist Gus Faucher told The Hill.
Monthly job gains have averaged about 179,000 over the last three months, more than the roughly 120,000 needed to keep up with growth in the working-age population.
The one-tenth of a percentage point drop in the unemployment rate pushed it to a level last seen in April 2000. There is growing anecdotal evidence of worker scarcity.
"There are strong signs the U.S. economy is rebounding from its first quarter weakness", said Kully Samra, vice president at Charles Schwab. Construction added 25,000 jobs in May after notching up gains of 21,000 jobs in April.
On Friday morning, markets will get a crucial update on the state of the USA labor market with economists forecasting another month of strong job growth. But some manufacturers said the steel tariffs were pushing up prices. Retailers boosted employment by 31,100 jobs last month.
Job gains in May were across all sectors.

An iPhone application has been launched to detect signs of arrhythmia.
The 'Know Your Pulse' app, released by charity Arrhythmia Alliance, aims to improve diagnosis of heart rhythm disorders.
Users follow the onscreen guide to record their own pulse reading over 30 seconds. They are then advised on whether they may be suffering an irregular or unusually fast or slow heartbeat.
The app forms part of a Arrhythmia Alliance campaign, which aims to improve knowledge of the condition. The charity said the campaign also seeks to raise awareness amongst healthcare professionals of the importance of conducting regular pulse checks during normal patient check-ups so that cardiac arrhythmias are given as much attention as other conditions.
A cardiac arrhythmia can cause a range of conditions including Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), syncope (blackouts or loss of consciousness), and atrial fibrillation, a leading cause of stroke, and the most common cardiac arrhythmia.
Conditions caused by cardiac arrhythmias kill more people in Europe than breast cancer, lung cancer and AIDS combined. SCA kills 100,000 people each year in the UK alone.
The charity has also enrolled Sir Roger Moore, star of the James Bond films, to demonstrate how to correctly take a pulse.


The launch of the e-tolling system on April 30 must be delayed until all public concerns about it have been addressed, Business Unity South Africa (Busa) said on Tuesday.
"It is disappointing that Sanral [South African National Road Agency Limited] ... has not fully addressed the public's concerns. This should have been done several months ago," the organisation said in a statement.
Busa said the new punitive tariff for motorists who did not register for e-tolling would "have far-reaching and significant implications for the cost of conducting business within Gauteng and throughout the country".
Sanral gazetted the tariffs on Friday. It described an "alternate user" as someone "who does not have a valid and operational e-tag, is not registered with Sanral, and who is not a day-pass user".
Alternate users would be charged R1.75/km, compared to the standard tariff of 30c/km for registered users.
"While Busa understands the logistical challenges faced by Sanral in ensuring the payment of e-toll fees, the regulations ... are extreme and place onerous and extensive burdens on business," it said.
Busa said it submitted comment to the department of transport on Monday concerning the new tariffs.

Google has just released the last Android P Developer Preview before the new version of the OS gets launched on the market. For those who want to keep it as thorough as possible, this is Android P Developer Preview 5 or Android P Beta 4, but that's just from a purely informative point of view.
Since this could be the last Developer Preview, it would make perfect sense to be the most stable Google released until now. According to Google, this specific build includes final system behaviors and the official Android P APIs, which were available since Beta 2.
Additionally, Android P Developer Preview 5 comes with the latest July security patch and everything that a developer would need to finish test their apps in time for the upcoming official Android P release happening next month.
If you own a Pixel/Pixel 2 smartphone, you can now download the Android P Developer Preview 5 factory images or the OTA (over the air) files, if you haven't yet enrolled in the Android Beta Program to get the update automatically on your handset.
The final Android P beta build should also be available for other smartphones like the Essential Phone, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 7, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8 Sirocco, OnePlus 6, and Sony Xperia XZ2.
Just to note further... Essential got it within an hour of release.
Haha, sure why not. I get to say it now, there's literally dozens of us.
Essential phone is highly underrated.
Andy Rubin really got it right with software updates for the PH-1. If only the camera was better.
Only 50MB. After 10 minutes of usage, umm, well, the phone hasn't crashed. Edit, later.... After I first installed P, my Pixel XL developed a slow wakeup, both on the fingerprint and power button. Several seconds of nothing before coming alive. I'm not seeing that now. Good.
Device Theme: Dark doesn't do anything.


This special type of camera was very popular between the end of the 19th and the 30's of the 20th century. After the invention of the daguerrotype camera, the introduction of the bellows connecting the photosensitive plate to the objective, improved the focus of the picture, thanks to basculing and decentering of the focal plan as well as of the plate. The camera on display is a Tourist Camera, designed for traveling photographers and therefore suitable for scientific expeditions, as it can be used both outdoor and indoor. It was probably used by the astronomer Temistocle Zona (1848-1910) during the expedition to Sfax, in Tunisia, aimed at observing the total solar eclipse of 1905.
The camera is provided with a stand, about 165 cm high, kept in a leather case; it is equipped with a wooden box for travelling and is accompanied by another wooden case containing three plate-holders, each one bearing a double plate. It is well known that, at that time, glass plates, about 1 mm thin, were covered with a photosensitive emulsion (generally silver bromide).

HMS Maeander was a  sailing frigate of the British Royal Navy. Her service included the suppression of piracy, the Russian War, and support for the suppression of slavery with the West Africa Squadron. She was wrecked in a gale in 1870.

Career
Maeander was launched at Chatham Dockyard on 5 May 1840. From 1 November 1847 to 1851 her captain was Henry Keppel.

Maeander served in the East Indies, cooperating with James Brooke in the suppression of piracy. Next, in September 1849 she sailed from Singapore via Batavia for Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific coast of America; United States Army Lieutenant George H. Derby, in his "Report of the Expedition of the U.S. Transport Invincible" notes that Keppel with the Maeander was in the Mexican port of Guaymas on 5 February 1851. After twelve months on the Valparaiso station, Maeander then returned to Britain with $860,000 in bullion via the Straits of Magellan. (At the time she was thought to have been the largest vessel to have passed through the straits.) She was in the straits for over nine days in May 1851, anchoring every night because of the difficulty of the passage).

On 14 July 1852 Captain Charles Talbot took command of Maeander. On 30 May 1854 Captain Thomas Baillie took command. She served in the White Sea in 1855 during the Crimean War.

On 2 December 1856, James Robert Drummond was appointed captain of Maeander, for coast guard service. George Fowler Hastings succeeded Drummond. In September 1857 an advertisement seeking a 'seaman schoolmaster' to instruct the boys of the Maeander in the 3Rs. was placed in the name of 'Captain the Hon. G F Hastings CB'.

Hastings was appointed superintendent of Haslar Hospital in January 1858. In 1859 Commander Malcolm MacGregor assumed command of Maeander.

In 1860 her armament was reduced to ten guns as part of her conversion into a storeship. She then joined the West Africa Squadron at Ascension Island as a replacement for Tortoise.

From 1 November 1859 to July 1861 Maeander was under the command of Captain William Farquharson Burnett. On 23 February 1861 Captain Frederick Lamport Barnard took command. From 24 December 1864 to January 1866 her commander was Captain Joseph Grant Bickford.

Fate
In July 1870 Maeander was wrecked in a gale in the South Atlantic Ocean off Ascension Island. Her remains are at a depth of 14 metres (46 feet) in position , bows on to the shore. She lies on her port side and has opened up. Timber, copper sheathing, knees supporting her gun deck, and her tiller have been located.

Memorials
A memorial tablet to the men of Maeander killed between 1848-51 can be seen at St Ann's Church, HMNB Portsmouth.

A memorial tablet to the Royal Marines from HMS Maeander who died of fever in Labuan (on Borneo) between 14 June and 29 November 1848 can be found in the Old Navy Cemetery within the Botanical Gardens in Labuan, Malaysia.

All The Light We Cannot See | Anthony Doerr
I have always loved radio. Growing up, much to my family and carpool's annoyance, I insisted on tuning in to hear Paul Harvey's commentary in the morning and his "Rest of the Story" segment in the afternoon. I loved the intonations of his voice and the way that he brought the news and the lives of historical figures alive. These days not much has changed, I still can't get enough of those magical storytellers out there (those who use their voices as well as those who employ their pens). Today, Paul Harvey's no longer alive, but radio remains (standalone and in podcasts), albeit increasingly marginalized. What inspired Anthony Doerr's latest novel was the realization that electromagnetic waves surround us all on a daily basis –carrying phone calls, text messages, photos, and as before, radio broadcasts.
All the Light We Cannot See was far and away my favorite book of 2014 thus far. At its core are two incredible characters: Marie-Laure, a blind French girl from Paris, and Werner, an orphan from Germany. These two are on opposing sides of the war, but become connected through the waves of radio.
The story begins before the war in Paris with a little girl, Marie-Laure, who has recently gone blind. She spends most of her time with her doting father, who serves as the locksmith for the Museum of Natural History in Paris. Her blindness at first leaves her isolated; but, her father carves a scale model of the city that she follows with her fingers, learning her way around and to beginning to trust her other senses to guide her.
Meanwhile, Werner and his sister Jutta are being raised in a German orphanage. Werner becomes obsessed with radios, and begins to teach himself engineering. Though he is destined for work in the mines given his social status, his intelligence and drive provide an alternate path. The tale continues through the war leading to the moment that these two, swept up in the tides of war, cross paths in St. Malo, France.
The elements of this story integrated quite a few personal interests of mine, including:
1. Having visited both Paris and St. Malo, and given that I have a trip to Germany planned for the summer, the settings were definitely of particular interest.
2. The book is definitely on the literary side. The writing is beautiful and the cast of characters both rich and unforgettable. That being said, the subject isn't a particularly light one as you might imagine, and this certainly doesn't read like a beach novel if that's what you're looking for.
3. I pretty much love any and all things, fiction and non, that take up the subject of WWII. Before I even began reading, I was utterly sold on the subject.
4. I love when the stories I'm reading incorporate references to other books. For example, a character that I kept thinking about while I was reading this novel was Alma Whittaker, Elizabeth Gilbert's heroine from The Signature of All Things. Alma is an isolated child, much like Marie-Laure, who becomes obsessed with the mosses growing at her family home (not unlike Marie-Laure's fascination with mollusks). I kept recalling Alma's enthrallment with Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, as Marie-Laure read and reread Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Both Gilbert and Doerr's novels made me want to run out and immediately begin these two classic works.
5. I hate sappy endings. I don't like when everything works out perfectly and everyone lives happily ever after. It's too unrealistic and I often feel like it cheapens the story. I like it when the story ends happily but not perfectly. I don't want to give anything away, but I will say I was completely happy as I turned the last page.
This book is definitely not to be missed, I think there is some part that will appeal to any reader. It is on the long side, but the story is just so good that you'll actually savor over the length (500+ pages), and if you're anything like me, wish it had gone on further.
Still not convinced? Maybe the author himself can sell you on it:
The Signature of All Things | Elizabeth Gilbert
If someone had recommended Elizabeth Gilbert's new novel without any context, simply by trying to sell the outline of the plot, I probably would have said, "Thanks, but no thanks." The Signature of All Things chronicles the life of a female botanist, a bryologist to be exact (new vocab word – this is someone who studies moss) in the nineteenth century. The novel charts her youth, growing up in Philadelphia, and her later travels to Tahiti and Europe. Presented with those facts, my reaction would likely have been something like this:
But, man, would I have been mistaken.
I was traveling back to the city this weekend from D.C. after Thanksgiving. I read half way through Sebastian Junger's War and then ended up leaving it. So, I downloaded Elizabeth Gilbert's latest figuring I had about 3 hours to sink my teeth into a 500 page book, at the very least I'd make some progress. I was honestly surprised at the pace at which this plot travelled. It was only about a three day read.
Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of the well-known Eat, Pray, Love. To be honest, I have neither read the book nor seen the film (have never had the desire). So while I cannot compare, I think Gilbert's foray back into fiction was a definite success. She turned the story of a lonely academic woman who studies arguably one of the more erudite plant species into a page-turner. If that's not talent…
Alma Whittaker, a scientist of Gilbert's invention, was born into a lineage of botanists. Her father helped to cultivate her love of science and inquiry, and more specifically of the natural world. The reader watches the entirety of Alma's life, from a lonely child exploring the land beyond her house to a scientist at the time of Charles Darwin. Though I was pretty at peace at the way the book story concludes, part of me hoped (and was disappointed) that this woman would have a bigger impact, that her moments of unhappiness, longing, and questioning would lead to an answer and to happiness. The character is contented, but the happiness is relative. My head likes the realism, but my heart hopes nonetheless for the fairy tale ending.
There is a very specific reason that religion and religious characters are featured in this novel, though I won't go into more detail so as not to ruin the novel. At first, I did not mind that aspect, but as the story continue, I found myself slightly annoyed with that aspect. While Alma is not a religious character, her travels invoke a revelation and type of awakening. Though this was a positive development for her psyche, I was anxious for this chapter in her life to close.
Men enter and exit Alma's life. She is alone for most of the tale, which taken with the mores of the age, leaves Alma, the scientist, with countless unanswered questions about sex and sexuality. In this way, Alma actually reminded me a bit of Anne Frank. Sex is such a frank topic today, that it is always jarring for me to think about a time when the subject was taboo. Even for educated, so much went unexplained. I love when topics like this are weaved into the framework of stories, pushing the reader to open his / her mind and imagine.
So, if you read the description and you're reaction is anything like mine was, ignore the impulses. Despite my minor complaints, I really enjoyed reading The Signature of All Things. I'm not particularly interested in botany and I'm a little bit over these strong female narratives (as mentioned in a previous post) at the moment; nonetheless, this story will take you in right away, and you won't be able to break its hold until you've turned the final page.

Jammu,21 Apr: The Jammu University authorities, like the valley-centric Kashmiri leaders, have, it appears, turned anti-Jammu, said BJP State President Ashok Khajuria while reacting to the shabby treatment given by the Jammu University authorities to the Jammu-based candidates seeking admission to the M.Ed. course run by it. He said the very fact that the Jammu University has given admission to nearly 200 candidates of Kashmir origin out of total of 500 seats shows the extent to which the concerned authorities have become vindicative towards the Jammu youth.
He further said that Jammu University is the sole preserve of the Jammu youth and hence all the seats available in the University of Jammu in the M.Ed. course be allotted to the Jammu-based candidates. He said the authorities must withdraw immediately the just released anti-Jammu list of selected candidates so that the Jammu-based candidates get their due.
Ashok Khajuria said that the University of Kashmir is already running such course and there is no logic whatever that the university authorities play with the academic career of the Jammu youth. He further said that the BJP agrees with the Dean, Academic Affairs, that all these seats are for the local candidates and the local candidates obviously means the students belonging to the Jammu province. He warned the University authorities to desist from adopting a step-motherly treatment towards the Jammu youth failing which the BJP would be left with no option but to launch an agitation against all those who are playing foul with the career of Jammu youth.


Took the AT Pro to a park area that used to be the location of a German gun club. They held picnics, competition shooting matches and general target practice there. A 8 foot tall hill of dirt with different targets placed all over the hill to shoot at, were used.
As I was mostly looking for lead bullets and possible discarded casings I dug every signal. And I tell you.... there sure were lots of signals to get. The AT Pro got them all...even the ones right next to each other. I had been to this area before with my other detectors and no way did they do such a great job of separating all the targets, like this Garrett.
I did manage to dig 2 old rifle casings. The 250 3000 S A Corp---Savage Arms and discontinued about 1940.
and a WRA Co. 32 40 Winchester Repeating Arms 32 40 rifle.
Both were used for about a 200 yard target and were very accurate at that range. A couple of perfect rifles for competition shooting matches.

BoF VOICES 2022: Fashion's Fresh Challenges and New Directions
From cracking down on greenwashing to planning for a challenging 2023, big thinkers from fashion and beyond shared their insights on the future of the fashion system in the second session of BoF VOICES.

OXFORDSHIRE, United Kingdom — In the second session of BoF VOICES 2022, speakers addressed a broad range of themes that are increasingly urgent for the fashion system, from the need to regulate corporate greenwashing to what comes after the post-pandemic rebound.

Achim Berg, senior partner at McKinsey & Company, presented a first look at the latest edition of BoF's flagship The State of Fashion report.
After a first half of 2022 that was "all about growth, about lots of opportunities to wear and buy fashion," a deterioration of the global economy in recent months has left fashion executives bracing for a slowdown, according to Berg.
"Even if we have a bit of a V-shaped recovery in the US, even if China reopens faster than we expect, it's going to be challenging in the first six to nine months next year," Berg said. "Then we can hope for a better Christmas."
McKinsey expects global fashion sales growth of 5 percent to 10 percent for luxury, and negative 2 percent to positive 3 percent for the rest of the industry in 2023. Bright spots include surging sales in the Middle East, as well as a rebound in more formal dressing.
Can Regulation Stop Greenwashing?

Splashy corporate pledges to improve environmental impact have become commonplace in fashion as well as finance, energy and other industries in recent years. But activists, public officials and even some fashion insiders are increasingly losing patience with self-regulation that has delivered few results and are now calling for government "referees" to speed change.
Tariq Fancy, a former banker and founder of the Rumie Initiative, spoke about leaving the industry of "green bonds" and low-carbon exchange-traded funds behind as he became increasingly disillusioned with a "system that was painting itself green."
"This ESG stuff can actually be harmful if people don't know its BS," Fancy said. "[It's] a convenient fantasy… where the world corrects itself and no sacrifice is required."
When surveyed anonymously, most CEOs agree their companies are engaged in greenwashing, Fancy added. After years of allowing companies to appear to regulate themselves through a patchwork of corporate responsibility pledges, change needs to become "both systemic and mandatory" by changing the rules that constrain capitalism.
"It's time to call in the refs," he said.
Maxine Bédat, director of the New Standard Institute, spoke about the New York Fashion Act, proposed legislation in New York State that would put in place "basic guard rails" on the industry by setting minimum environmental standards for all companies with revenue over $100 million doing business in New York (no matter where they are headquartered or where their products are produced).
Bédat said the bill was modelled after efforts to fight air pollution in California, where the state's rules on automobile emissions quickly became a global standard due to the scale of the market.
Fancy and Bédat were joined in a panel discussion by Baroness Margaret Omolola Young, a member of Britain's House of Lords and Ken Pucker, former chief operating officer of Timberland.
"We've refined this system to work for a relatively small number of people who are ageing. It's not borrowing from the future — it's stealing," Young said. "Regulation has to step in. Systemic change has to come to governments, too, as they're in thrall to certain types of businesses that depend on [fossil fuels]."
"Governments need to take bold action, and we need to tell them to be bold at the ballot box and at every opportunity," Young added.
Reaching Underserved Customers

2022 has seen a veritable renaissance in brick-and-mortar retail as brands tried to reach consumers by opening new stores in locations that were historically underserved, from massive emerging economies like India (where the pandemic sparked a shift to luxury customers shopping domestically) to smaller cities in developed markets like the US and the UK.
Michael Murray, CEO of UK-based luxury retailer Flannels, spoke about his company's strategy of focusing on building luxurious physical boutiques outside of London's historic shopping hubs.
"The regional consumers are severely underserved," Murray said, referring to smaller UK cities like Liverpool and Leeds. "Luxury brands obsess over capital cities; we're obsessing over those white spots where they're not going to invest because there isn't a Bond Street."
Sometimes underserved customers can be found closer to home. Retail activations in big-city neighbourhoods away from shopping high streets can help brands find new customers and deepen engagement with their existing base, Appear Here's founder Ross Bailey said. Bailey's company has helped stage temporary retail experiences for major brands, like Gucci's centennial pop-up in London's Hackney in 2021, as well as developing ultra-local shopping villages dedicated to promoting products and services from the immediate area.
Cecilia Morelli, co-founder of Mumbai luxury boutique Le Mill, spoke about her efforts to reach Indian customers. Those shoppers, who previously focused their spend on gold jewellery and traditional Indian fashion are becoming more interested in mixing in items from Western luxury brands — and in being able to buy those products close to home.
"Finally India is really coming forward. Luxury brands are starting to look to India in ways they haven't done before," Morelli said.
The former Bergdorf Goodman executive's advice for building a business in a new market? Listen.
"I thought I could impose my vision of good style, good taste," she said. "What I learned was all I could do was really listen to my customer."
She's seen success by really considering the lifestyles of local customers — learning what sort of occasions they go shopping for, and what would be seen as suitable to wear. Fashion brands can still do a lot better on this front, adapting their approach for different climates, body types and languages.
After the DTC Era

The sleek, neutral brand messages favoured by DTC brands don't resonate as much as they used to, writer and technologist Toby Shorin said.
"The DTC era has hit a cultural impasse," he said. "[These] brands couldn't create a relationship with the subcultures they wanted to become or to identify with."
Consumers are now moving on from an "impoverished lifestyle economy" to "lifeworlds" imbued with cultural meaning, values and the promise of transformation.
"People opt into these communities with the self-awareness that they may be changed," Tobin said, citing transformative concepts like effective altruism, or brands like Peoplehood, a group therapy-inspired service created by the founders of SoulCycle. "We see an increased willingness to be told 'the right way to be," Tobin said.
Brands should think about bringing more elements of the broader culture into their work, referencing memes or invoking subcultures. They can adapt to the focus on values by thinking about how to cater to adherents of various ideologies or to create their own "lifeworlds" with intrinsic culture and ideologies, Tobin said.
American Luxury

In conversation with BoF editor-at-large Tim Blanks, Fear of God founder Jerry Lorenzo spoke about his vision for American luxury.
"You don't have to be in a stiff suit to be elegant," he said. "American luxury is freedom. It's about being able to wear what you want when you want to … so you can be the best version of yourself."
The Los Angeles-based brand, which tripled sales in the last two years, is set to stage its first-ever fashion show and open its first flagship store as part of a wider expansion drive. It will also add new categories such as women's shoes and bags, Lorenzo said.
"Our intention is that when you come into the store, there's a shift that happens," Lorenzo added. "We want to bring you into a space that's beyond an environment; it's an atmosphere."
BoF VOICES 2022 is made possible in part through our partners McKinsey & Company, Shopify, Flannels, Brandlive, Lenzing, ShopRunner, Snap, Canada Goose, Invisible Collection, Soho House, and Getty Images.

Churchill College News Graduate Telethon update
Graduate Telethon update
6th November 2017 in Alumni, News and Events
From the 9–29 October the College ran its a dedicated Graduate Telethon and enjoyed wide-ranging conversations with over 300 Graduate alumni.
The aims of the campaign were to engage with and update our Graduate alumni community about recent and future events at Churchill and raise money for the Graduate Accommodation Project. We have been delighted by the support that the 2017 Graduate Telethon has received to date with over £40,000 already pledged from 90 donors; 68% of whom are first time donors to the College.
"I couldn't be more thrilled with this project as I have spent 5 great years in Churchill College throughout my masters and PhD. Not only has the College been quite generous and supportive but it also always felt like home."
— Dr Ahmed Elmezeini (G10)
Every penny pledged will have double the impact because one of our Graduate alumni, Tony Wild (G68, PhD Physical Chemistry) has generously offered to match fund, pound for pound, the first £50,000 of donations raised for the project. It is not too late to contribute to the campaign and double the impact of your gift! Find out more about the case for support and donate here.
The gifts pledged to support the Graduate Accommodation Project will help build a stronger graduate community and leave a lasting legacy for generations of student to come. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to the campaign thus far for your support and commitment to Churchill; it really will make a difference to what our students and the College can achieve.

Ranking the 5 best Houston Rockets this season
By N.B. Lindberg
MIAMI, FLORIDA - APRIL 19: John Wall #1 of the Houston Rockets huddles with the team against the Houston Rockets prior to the game at American Airlines Arena on April 19, 2021 in Miami, Florida.

John Wall #1 Houston Rockets (Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images )
The Houston Rockets, with two games to go, have clinched the worst record in the league. The franchise's first season without James Harden and Daryl Morey, the linchpins of their eight consecutive postseason appearances from 2013 to 2020, has been the NBA equivalent of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
The season went from bad to worse at just about every juncture as injuries, ineffectiveness, and injustices derailed even the faintest attempts to be a competent team. Four players will play more than 1200 minutes, in a season of 3456 non-overtime minutes, and only two players will surpass 50 games played.
The Rockets were hit incredibly hard by the availability bug this season, which makes it difficult to discern who were their best and worst players. However, every team, no matter the record, has a best player.
How to evaluate the five best Houston Rockets
To determine who were the best five Rockets an arbitrary playing time cutoff had to be made, so only players that managed 600 minutes with the Rockets made the cut. This total of 12 players includes the likes of Victor Oladipo, Kevin Porter Jr, and Kelly Olynyk but sheds the 17 other players who suited up for the Rockets this season.
From this group of 12, I took their net plus/minus, total win shares, player efficiency rating, win shares per 48 minutes, box score plus/minus, and value over replacement player and calculated each player's Z-score in the category before adding that total up to determine who has performed the best this season compared to their peers. This cohort of statistics, outside of win shares and value over replacement player, is hardly influenced by court time so this best captures who on a per-minute basis has performed best for the Rockets.
The not-so-honorable mentions or the players who finished twelfth through sixth are; P.J. Tucker (12th), Kevin Porter (11th), Danuel House (10th), Victor Oladipo (9th), John Wall (8th), Sterling Brown (7th), and Eric Gordon (6th). The two surprises on this list are John Wall and Kevin Porter Jr but their solid points per game averages of 20.6 for Wall and 16.6 for Porter are largely to the detriment of the team because of their poor shooting efficiency.
Let's not get too caught up in the weeds over the minutiae of the ranking system, it's as scientific as I care to make it, and let's get to the top five Houston Rockets from the 2020-21 season.
Next: #5
