Brent Advocacy Concern: NHS rent hike leaves disability charity facing closure
Published: 7:15 AM August 8, 2019 Updated: 9:32 PM October 15, 2020

A charity that's been operating from Willesden Health Centre for 31 years is facing closure after its NHS landlord jacked up the rent.
Disability charity Brent Advocacy Concerns works to represent disabled people with housing, social care, benefits or other issues where they need social support.
But a slow decline in funding has reached crisis point - landlord NHS Property Services (NHSPS) has told its trustees they'll have to stump up about £20,000 a year in rent and management fees if they want to keep their meagre office space as a one-year subsidy from the CCG comes to an end.
Trustee John Healy, who's worked with the charity for 26 years, told this newspaper that in all likelihood this meant the end was nigh - unless a Times reader was able to help support them.
He said: "We've been on the site for so long and now we've got a problem. We'll have to close down, or it's a case of seeing if there's any funding at all available, or anyone who can help us."
Even now, John said, searching for funding to keep its work going had become harder and harder.
He said: "Take Monday, for example. Just in the two hours between 3pm and 5pm we had six people get in touch with serious issues but we had to turn them away. That breaks my heart.
"I hate having to do it."
John also spoke about how, in times gone by, he would have been able to help David Strong - the man the Kilburn Times revealed last week had been asked to live on £4 a week - but his organisation's resources had shrunk so much this just wasn't possible any more.
John also called on the council to do more to help charities such as BAC. He said: "What are they going to do to replace the service that'll be lost when we go? We haven't had any funding since 2012. There's not many people you'll find to do what we do with no money."
A council spokesperson said that as it did not fund the charity it could not comment.
An NHSPS spokeperson said: "Until now BAC have been fully subsidised by NHS Brent Clinical Commissioning Group.
"NHSPS is committed to working with all parties to provide an affordable plan to occupy vacant space on the NHS estate."

Locul fosilifer Cozla este o arie protejată de interes național ce corespunde categoriei a IV-a IUCN (rezervație naturală de tip paleontologic) situată în județul Neamț, pe teritoriul administrativ al orașului Piatra Neamț.

Localizare
Aria naturală se află la nivelul terminației sudice a Munților Stânișoarei pe culmea Cozla (679 m), în partea nord-vestică a orașului Piatra Neamț în spațiul format de unghiul dintre DN15 și DN15C.

Descriere
Rezervația naturală cu o suprafață de 10 hectare a fost declarată arie protejată prin Legea Nr.5 din 6 martie 2000 (privind aprobarea Planului de amenajare a teritoriului național - Secțiunea a III-a - zone protejate) și, reprezintă o zonă muntoasă de interes paleontologic situată în Oligocen pe fundul Mării Paratethys.

Aici, în stratele de rocă alcătuite din conglomerate de marne și gresii, s-au descoperit depozite fosilifere de pești, caracteristice zonelor cu un climat subtropical ale acestei perioade.

Fosilele identificate aici pot fi vizionate la Muzeul de Științe Naturale din Piatra Neamț.

Istoric
Inițial, rezervația a fost declarată arie de interes local în 1971. În 1992 Academia Română publica lista ariilor protejate din județul Neamț, listă în care se regăseau cele 2 zone ca fiind clasificate conform nomenclaturii IUCN.

Declararea ca zonă protejată de interes zonal s-a făcut totuși ulterior în 1994, iar la nivel național a fost declarată  arie protejată în anul 2000, prin Legea Nr.5 din 6 martie (privind aprobarea Planului de amenajare a teritoriului național - Secțiunea a III-a - zone protejate)

Custodia rezervației aparține de Consiliul local și Primăria Municipiului Piatra Neamț.

Controverse
Există controverse privind impactul asupra ariei protejate Locul fosilifer Cozla, a proiectelor desfășurate sau în desfășurare pentru amenajarea infrastructurii turistice a dealului Cozla.

Zona fosiliferă Piatra Neamț
În arealul orașului sau limitrof acestuia, s-au identificat 4 zone fosilifere: Cerenegura, Cozla, Pietricica și Agârcia.

Contextul geologic
Contextul geologic fosilifer este constituit din stive de roci moi groase de aproximativ 100 m formate în adâncurile Mării Paratethys. O particularitate a acesteia avea să determine conservarea în straturile de sedimente a corpurilor animalelor moarte. Astfel spre diferență de alte mări și oceane, datorită unor particularități ale reliefului submarin Paratethys nu beneficia de existența unui circuit eficient de oxigenare a straturilor de apă de adâncime. În lipsa oxigenului lipseau și microorganismele care să descompună cadavrele, în absența unor procese biologice de descompunere materia organică respectivă pornind pe drumul fizico-chimic lung, la capătul căruia se află petrolul. Această transformare în zonele fosilifere s-a blocat într-o fază incipientă. Cernute foarte fin, sedimentele s-au depus peste corpurile ființelor, generând o rocă deosebită care se desface sub muchia ciocanului geologic în foi subțiri - asemenea foilor unei cărți.

Fauna marină fosilă găsită aici  este foarte bogată, acoperind toate nișele ecologice disponibile - de la apele de litoral până la cele mai adânci zone propice vieții. Astfel numai Profesorul Ion Th. Simionescu (întemeietorul școlii paleontologice românești) a descris 9 genuri și opt specii noi, iar în monografia din 1977 Ciobanu a descris 26 de familii, 44 de genuri și 69 de specii de pești fosili, din care 29 noi. Înafară de pești, în zona Piatra Neamț s-au mai descoperit fosile de crabi și alte crustacee înrudite, fosile de broaște țestoase precum și fosile aviare.

Istoricul zonei
Cercetările paleontologice au început în zona orașului Piatra Neamț din 1883, nume precum Leon Cosmovici (sec. XIX), Mircea Paucă, biologul Mihai Ciobanu (a doua jumătate a sec. XX) fiind strâns legate de descoperirile făcute aici.

S-au publicat monografii precum Păturele cu pești din Munții Pietricica și Cozla - Districtul Neamț. Orașul Peatra (Leon Cosmovici, 1887), Fauna fosilă din oligocenul de la Piatra Neamț (Ciobanu Mihai, 1977) și multiple articole, printre care cele ale Facultății de Geologie din Iași ocupă un loc dominant.

Zone similare din România
Din România "Acvariul de Piatră" din zona orașului Piatra Neamț este cel mai mare și mai complex. Zone smiliare se găsesc în Moldova la Gura Humorului (aici s-a găsit de exemplu un pește de 1,8 m de către paleontologul Th. Brustur), în Muntenia lângă Câmpulung (număr de specii mai restrâns, situație însă mai complexă deoarece aici s-ai găsit și fosile de arbori, precum și amprente fosilizate de fulgi și pene ale unor păsări)

Open Crowd Festivals
Festivals continue to be pivotal in shifting culture at the heart of communities across the UK and in other nations too.
Here are some of stories and testimonials we think you might find inspiring. We would love to hear from you as well, why not send us the story of community festivals your church or group has run, and the impact they have had on your community?
How to Deliver an Open Crowd Festival
What's Behind the Open Crowd Festival
From the Leaders
"Open Crowd" Festivals are the best missional activity we have done in our Church over the last 2 years. I would recommend every Baptist Church across London consider it as an effective way to connect with your community. It certainly is working for us."
Reuben Martin
West Croydon Baptist Church
"Running our first festival was a huge step of faith for us, as a small church in central London. But with 2000 people coming along, and 5 churches joining us, we were delighted with the result. It was a "no-brainer" to do it all again this year, and next. The festivals have been hugely helpful in raising the profile of local churches and bringing us all together under one banner, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants to make a difference in their community."
Stuart Cathrow
Quaystone Church- Isle of Dogs
"I highly recommend community festival and training to any church that truly wants to connect with its community. The training for the festival is very important, if you want to get it right."
Rev Osoba Otaigbe,
Minister, Tooting Junction Baptist Church
"For us the Festival we ran with Fusion marked a breaking through into being more a part of our community. We had some youth clubs already running but the festival gave us a vision for more and a determination to see that 'more' come into being. It wasn't just for more groups (we now have lots more) but also for the church to be right at the heart of the community. God has amazed us in the doors he has opened."
Richard Colbrook
Oxford Community Church
From the Team
'"All I did was listen to this lady about what it was like to move interstate. Then I offered to make them some stilts for their son. Then she asked me about youth groups and churches and how they used to go and she asked me what did I believe. She said do you know any good groups for kids this age. I said I could pass her phone number on to one I could recommend if she liked. She came in to get the stilts and I chased up the youth group leader for her. The kids went along and now I think she and her husband have ended up joining the church too."
"During a church service in Sydney an Associate Professor of Law spoke of how he had recently become a Christian. He shared with the congregation that his journey to faith began when he went along to an Open Crowd Festival. He hadn't been for many years to anything put on by Christians. He was impressed by what he saw and during the Festival was invited to an Alpha course. He decided to go along. The first few weeks he argued his way through the course. Near the end he gave in to God. The next year he joined the team organising the festival!'
'This man seemed fascinated watching us paint the faces of children. I don't know how he knew, but he said, "This is a Christian thing isn't it. " I said, 'Yes'. He said which church do you go to. I told him. He said what time do they meet. I told him. He said, "I'll be there tomorrow" . . . and he was.'
"A young mother had been watching from the edge of the oval for ages. I offered her a drink and asked her if her little girl might like her face painted. She wanted to know who was putting it all on. When I told it was the local churches, she said, "so this is what God is like?"
A Couple of Stories
"Open Crowd" Festivals began in Albania in 2005 after an Albanian had witnessed the Community Festivals in Athens during the Olympics. Over the years it is hard to quantify the impact of Festivals in changing cities across the south of Albania. This past summer the local teams ran 30 Festivals in 40 days often with teams of over 100 young trained people. Comments from local Mayors include, "You are my best friends, you are able to do what I cannot achieve", "We are proud to have you in our city."
The Mayor of Korce in the south of Albania acknowledges how the team through Festivals are changing the city. Now young people line up to have their faces painted, children co-operate and a strong level of social capital is growing in the city. One city Church has many new members through the impact of the Festivals. There are now over 400 in this Church and growing as the team runs monthly Day Trips and works in local schools. They plan to start another 10 church communities over this next year spearheaded by Festivals.
"We met Patricia when she came to our Festival. She wandered in with her mum and 2 little children. She was being temporarily housed at a Council Housing Unit just around the corner from where we gather as a church. Several people from our church community made conversation with her and the girls and she joined in the Games and sports. It was a great joy to see her turning up at our Sunday morning gatherings over the following weeks. She felt welcomed becoming more confident, trusting people with her children. A few weeks later 30 of us from the Church helped her move. We've become her friend and as a result she has been inviting some of her friends to come to Church, all are completely unchurched. The "woman at the well" has turned up to our Church with her friends."
There are many ways of joining the SYC movement and helping to shift culture in our communities and nation.
For more information about our local centres or joining the team please contact us.
Shift Youth + Community is the British expression of Fusion International, a global youth and community movement operational in more than 13 countries.

Cathodoluminescence depth-profiling studies of GaN/AlGaN quantum-well structures
M. Godlewski, E. M. Goldys, M. R. Phillips, R. Langer, A. Barski
In this paper we evaluate the in-depth homogeneity of GaN epilayers and the influence of electric field present in strained GaN/AlGaN heterostructures and quantum wells on the yellow and "edge" emission in GaN and AlGaN. Our depth-profiling cathodoluminescence measurements show an increased accumulation of defects at the interface. Inhomogeneities in the doping level are reflected by the enhancement of the yellow emission in the interface region. The piezoelectric effect is found to strongly reduce the emission from the strained AlGaN quantum-well barriers. We also show that Ga droplets, commonly found on surfaces of samples grown in Ga-rich conditions, screen the internal electric field in a structure and thus result in a local enhancement of the edge emission intensity.

On 25 February 2021, valuable materials from the Library of the Faculty of Teacher Education of the University of Zagreb, Department of Petrinja, were temporarily stored in the premises of the National and University Library in Zagreb. The Building of the Department, and thus the library space, suffered significant damage in the earthquake and until their restoration valuable materials will be protected and kept in the premises of the National and University Library in Zagreb. This valuable material, as well as other damaged materials from the library in Petrinja, will be restored in the Department of Protection and Storage of the National and University Library in Zagreb and then stored in safety.
Association IIC – Croatian Group / IIC – Croatian Group organized at the instigated dr. sc. Dragice Krstić, Member of the Association and Head of the Department of Protection and Storage, on 13 February 2021 triage of materials in the Library of Petrinja. A group of volunteers participated in the triage, mainly from among the employees of the Department of Protection and.

'Lost' Beatles recording found after 50 years
Photo: Johnnie Hamp
A recently re-discovered original recording of The Beatles singing 'Some Other Guy' at the legendary Cavern Club in 1962 is to go under the hammer as part of a Rock & Pop Memorabilia auction in Liverpool on 4 November 2015.
The old reel-to-reel tape had been languishing in a desk drawer for more than 50 years.
On 22 August 1962, The Beatles were filmed by a Granada Television crew at The Cavern, performing 'Some Other Guy' and 'Kansas City' for a TV programme called Know The North. However, the sound quality was so poor that it was unable to be broadcast.
When The Beatles came back to Liverpool after recording 'Love Me Do' at Abbey Road Studios in London, Granada TV sound engineer Gordon Butler returned to The Cavern with the band on 5 September 1962, with the intention of obtaining a better quality audio recording to dub over the original film footage. Butler took three microphones – two of which he placed on Lennon and McCartney.
The re-recording of 'Some Other Guy' reportedly sounded so good that the band's manager Brian Epstein asked Butler to make five acetate copies which Epstein intended to use to promote the band.
Butler returned to Granada with the re-recorded tape and gave it to legendary TV producer Johnnie Hamp. But due to legal issues with other acts on the show, the programme was never screened and the tape remained in Hamp's desk drawer for 50 years. He recently discovered it, and, with the help of Beatles historian Paul Wilde, listened to it on a reel-to-reel tape machine. He found the sound quality was still crystal clear five decades later.
The whereabouts of four of the 'Some Other Guy' acetates are unknown, but the fifth was sold at auction in 1993 for £16,000 to Apple Records, the label set up by The Beatles in 1968.
All proceeds from the sale of the tape will be donated to charity.
What would YOU give to save the life of a stranger's child? That's the emotive question posed by this heartwarming novel of selfless courage, a quest for forgiveness, and a Swinging Sixties first love that never grew old.

Pakistan Gets the Better of Iran on One Belt, One Road Initiative
Date of publication : August 13, 2016 22:37 pm
Pakistan Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz (L) shakes hands with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi (R) before a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on April 27, 2016 in Beijing, China.
Chinese Silk Road has two land and maritime routes, one of the characteristics of the land route may be considered as its east–west orientation which intersects with new Silk Road of the USA with its north–south orientation (Central Asia–Afghanistan and South Asia). But the Chinese do not point to this matter due to their own traditional style. Although the history of these plans dates back to 1990s, but the new Silk Road plan of the USA is proposed in 2011 and the Silk Road plan of China is also suggested in 2013.
While describing the routes of economic belt of Silk Road, it is stated in the Deed of "Insights and Practices related to Joint Construction of Economic Belt of the Silk Road and Maritime Silk Road of 21st Century" published by Chinese government in March 2015: "Economic belt of Silk Road emphasizes on integration of China, Central Asia, Russia and Europe (the Baltics) and making relationship between China and Persian Gulf and Mediterranean Sea through Central Asia and Western Asia, and also linking China with Southeast Asia, South Asia and Indian Ocean". Iran has not been mentioned in the context of Deed at all. There is also no reference to Iran when explaining land and maritime routes, the issue which has created a kind of ambiguity. The Deed is arranged in 2015 and before JCPOA, and apparently has not been changed by the Chinese. Without mentioning Iran, it seems that the Chinese have provided more space for maneuver for themselves.
The uncertainty of the Chinese from post-JCPOA political and economic procedure and the relationship between Iran and the USA especially until the upcoming presidential elections in Iran and the USA, potential dissatisfaction of China with close relationship between Iran and India especially the recent tripartite agreement between Iran, India and Afghanistan to develop Chabahar Harbor, and at last, traditional conservative and calm politics of the Chinese in foreign politics area are as the reasons and grounds may be conceived for ambiguous and unknown position of Iran in the Chinese Silk Road Plan at the current time.
Unlike Iran, a serious consideration and a practical approach have been inclined to Pakistan by China. The attention of China to Pakistan in the Deed of "Insights and Practices related to Joint Construction of Economic Belt of the Silk Road and Marine Silk Road of 21st Century" is considerable. It is mentioned in page 4 of the Deed: "There is a close relationship between the Pakistan-China economic corridor and also the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar economical corridor with "a road-a belt" innovation; and more close and developed cooperation are required as well". According to the economical corridor plan dubbed "CPEC" formed by investment and a 46 billion dollars credit of China, it is scheduled to connect Gwadar Port of Pakistan to Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China with a network of over 3000 kilometers of roads and railways. This economical corridor passes through two poor states of Baluchistan and Lahore. Investors believe that road communications will develop different areas of Pakistan economically, and will provide a critical passageway for China's exports to the Middle East and Europe.
It is obvious that the position of Iran is not clear in the Chinese Silk Road Plan and encounters many ambiguities in comparison with that of Pakistan. Unlike Pakistan for which, the different economical plans of Silk Road are clearly drawn on the map and specific budgetary lines are forecasted for each plan, the position of Iran is limited in generalities in the Chinese Silk Road Plan. So, it is necessary to step on like Pakistan and ask the Chinese side to cross generalities and to define an appropriate position for Iran in the land and maritime routes of Silk Road and also to allocate required budget for each plan. Otherwise, the position of Iran in the Chinese Silk Road Plan will be confined in generalities and rhetoric and diplomatic formalities.

3/5/1971 Belfast, Ireland (master>dat>cdr)
Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Since I've Been Loving You, Black Dog, Dazed and Confused, Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, What is and What Should Never Be, Moby Dick, Whole Lotta Love, Communication Breakdown, Rock and Roll, Bring it on Home
The first performance of 1971 after a six month break and the band has a lot of new material to try out. The tape begins with the taper testing his equipment before the show then cuts to Immigrant Song already in progress. Plant's voice cuts through the thunderous wall of sound like a knife. There is a slight dropout at the beginning of Heartbreaker. Bonzo sounds like an army marching to battle. Page's playing is very bluesy during the a cappella solo.
Plant mentions that the band is feeling a bit rusty before introducing Since I've Been Loving You, which receives a loud cheer from the crowd. No one shows any sign of fatigue during the extremely powerful performance. The first appearance of Black Dog is preceded by a few bars of Out on the Tiles. Plant's voice is pure raw power. The heaviest Led Zeppelin song thus far, the effect is devastating. The guitar solo section in Dazed and Confused is a wild cacophony. Plant's shouts of "sweat!" echo out over the crowd. The finale is an explosion of cannon fire and echoed wails.
The first performance of Stairway to Heaven begins quietly, almost hesitant. There are some tape disturbances and dropouts in the middle of the song. The sound quality deteriorates after the guitar solo. What will become the most popular song in rock history is met with polite applause from the crowd. The first appearance of Going to California starts with more tape issues and a brief dropout. Chatter around the taper interrupts the quiet performance. The intro to Moby Dick is missing from the tape, picking up during the blitzkrieg of the drum solo. Bonzo's pounding is a relentless sonic assault. The crowd loves it.
Page makes the theramin wail and squeal wildly during the freakout in Whole Lotta Love. The medley includes John Lee Hooker's Bottle Up and Go, Muddy Waters's Honey Bee, and Walter Davis's I Think You Need a Shot. Plant challenges Page to a duel before the "woman!..." section. He apologizes for taking so long to come to Ireland (where they would one perform one more time, the following night) before Communication Breakdown. The first riotous appearance of Rock and Roll is played lightning-fast. After a long absence, the band returns to the stage after overwhelming demand from the crowd to close the show with Bring it on Home, which features a heavy jam near the end. Welcome to 1971.
The tape is a bit overloaded and noisy, but still highly enjoyable. The raw power and energy of the performance remains intact.
Labels: BD, BIOH, CB, DAC, GTC, HB, IS, MD, RAR, SIBLY, STH, WIAWSNB, WLL
I would definitely label this as ''Must Hear''. Not only for the historical significance but also for the unbelievably powerful performance.
Amazing that I'm getting to hear this for the first time now, such is the massive scope of the live Zep cannon.
It is indeed a massively powerful show. I think it deserves a must hear on this despite the sonic imperfections. It's vicious.


OK, so what's wrong with the radios? It was the beginning of a flying season, and we wanted to get some flying done before the major work of rewiring would take place sometime in the future, very likely during the next annual. I decided to get the radios working first, and do some minimal "cleanup" of the wiring mess. As I was going through all the connections and cleaning them up, something didn't quite feel right. The starter cable looked like the original factory installed cable.
When I was going over the airworthiness directives for the aircraft I recalled seeing something about the starter cable. Sure enough, the original cable was an aluminum cable, and the AD was requiring replacing it with a copper cable, to eliminate a potential fire hazard. This was supposed to be done decades ago!
Aircraft Spruce sells a nice PMA'd and STC'd cable set by Bogert. I am one of those people who has a hard time fixing just the immediate problem at hand. If there is anything associated with it that is not right, it will be fixed. In my mind, not doing it right is like painting over rotten wood. I installed new set of fantastic copper cables, and a new battery box. The new cable system connects directly to the battery terminals, and the new battery box facilitates this very nicely. Besides, cleaning up and refinishing the old box didn't appeal to me very much.
Replacing the starter and grounding cables also fixed the radio problems – they now worked great just on the battery juice. OK, let's go flying – or not.


The Show and Tell is back on! After a little break last month due to lots of other Drupal attractions, not least DrupalCon Prague, we're back to brighten up an autumn evening on Thursday the 24th October at 6pm. Come over to London South Bank University for another clutch of inspiring Drupal talks.
"A short talk about the value of a good content strategy. The whys and the hows, with examples of good - and bad - practice with some real tangible takeaways."
"Looking at stakeholder engagement and running flexible agile-ish projects with many vocal stakeholders as well as some specific issues and problems with the integration and how we solved them."
"Technical architecture and workflow that makes building big websites interesting."

Longsleeve with a relaxed cut and with a practical breast pocket for practical things.
Out on the floor of the FREITAG Factory is no place for flimsy materials or fragile threads. If a shirt wants to survive here, it needs to be not only stylish, but exceptionally comfortable and durable as well.
Our LONGSLEEVES impress not only with a timeless, comfortable fit but also with their inner values: Thanks to the moisture- and thermo-regulating qualities of our durable F-ABRIC Jersey knit, they can adapt themselves to whatever intensity you subject them to – at work or at play. And when they've finally had more than they can take, they dissolve into nothing. Thanks to the compostable fabric and shirt buttons made from natural ivory nut, they are not only sustainably produced but also completely biodegradable within three months. We gave it all we've got to produce these longsleeve shirts – except for the shirt off our own back, of course.

Annex I and non-Annex I countries search for term
Under the UNFCCC there is a differentiation between Annex I and Non-Annex I countries. The countries listed in Annex I are the industrialized countries. The countries not listed are the developing and emerging countries. Due to their historic responsibility and their economic capacity Annex I countries generally have more commitments than Non-Annex I countries.
The so-called refrigerant blends are mixtures of different refrigerants. The mixing can reduce flammability or lower the GWP of the substance depending on the mixing ratio. Examples for HFC-blends
are R404A, R407C and R410A.
Climate-Ozone Protection Ordinance search for term
The Climate-Ozone Protection Ordinance is a German federal ordinance regulating substances which cause the depletion of the ozone layer. It implements the EU ODS Regulation 1005/2009 at national level.
The Common Reporting Format (CRF) contains inventory tables in which all greenhouse gas emissions of every sector of a country can be inserted. The tables are not only sorted by sectors, but by gases, too. The CRF is a standard format developed by the UNFCCC Secretariat and is continuously updated. Every Annex-I country has to report their greenhouse gas emissions in the CRF tables to ensure comparability of the reporting. The greenhouse gas inventory of a country consists of the CRF tables and the National Inventory Report (NIR).
Emission reporting search for term
Emission reports provide data on the amount of greenhouse gases emitted at national level in tonnes and CO2-equivalents. Within international conventions like the UNFCCC, the reports have to be submitted by the Parties on a regular basis to allow for control and comparison of emission data. The UNFCCC does not only set out the gases to be reported but also the methods applied for emission estimates. The methodology for determining emission sources and quantifying emissions is developed internationally by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (also see IPCC Guidelines). On a national level the methods are being developed further and adjusted because the available information on each sector differs by countries.
F-gas Regulation 517/2014 search for term
The F-gas Regulation is an EU Regulation that contains measures for various applications of fluorinated greenhouse gases in order to avoid emissions. These measures include for example leak checking of stationary refrigeration and air conditioning systems; recovery of used refrigerants and subsequent measures for recycling/reclamation or destruction; training and certification of personnel and companies; recording and labelling requirements as well as control of use in several applications. A key measure is the "HFC phase-Down" which means the stepwise reduction of the HFC supply placed on the EU market. The earlier version of the EU F-gas Regulation entered into force in 2006 (No. 842/2006) and has been reviewed in 2011-2014.
F-gases search for term
The collective term "F-gases" is used for fluorinated greenhouse gases. These include the substance groups HFCs, PFCs, SF6 and NF3. Because of their high global warming potentials, F-gases are covered by the UNFCCC and the EU F-gas Regulation. They were partly developed as substitutes for ozone depleting substances and are used as refrigerants, blowing agents, propellants, solvents, etc. today.
Federal Immission Control Act search for term
The Federal Immission Control Act is a law that shall protect against harmful environmental impacts of emissions and prevent their occurrence.
German Chemicals Climate Protection Ordinance search for term
The German Chemicals Climate Protection Ordinance came into force in 2008 and is the legal implementation of the EU F-gas regulation in Germany. It was last amended on 14.02.2017. It defines rules for training and certification of personnel and service companies. Furthermore, it contains additional measures such as limits for specific refrigerant loss rates of stationary refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
German Federal Immission Protection Ordinance search for term
The German Federal Immission Protection Ordinance is the ordinance that regulates the implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act.
IPCC Guidelines search for term
The 2006 IPCC Guidelines provide methodologies for assessing and estimating anthropogenic emissions. National inventories take into account GHG sources and removals by sinks.
They build on previous guidelines (Revised 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories) and the subsequent Good Practice Reports (IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and IPCC Good Practice Guidance for LULUCF) to ensure that moving from the previous guidelines to these new guidelines is as straightforward as possible.
The 2006 IPCC Guidelines contain five volumes:
Volume 1: General guidance and reporting
Volume 2: Energy
Volume 3: Industrial processes and product use
Volume 4: Agriculture, forestry and other land use
Volume 5: Waste
Kigali Amendment search for term
In October 2016, the Parties of the Montreal Protocol agreed on the Kigali Amendment: It will enter into force from January 2019 and contains different reduction schedules for HFCs (Phase down) for developed, emerging and developing economies. For developed countries a reduction of HFC consumption by 85% until 2036 is set out. For most of the industrial countries, the first reduction step takes place in 2019. Different reduction schedules are established for emerging and developing economies with reduction targets of 80 or 85% within the period from 2024 to 2047. The HFC reduction targets agreed in Kigali constitute an important contribution to the long-term reduction targets for anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions of the Paris Agreement. Financial support to developing countries to fulfil their obligations is provided through the Multilateral Fonds (MLF) of the Montreal Protocol.
Kyoto Protocol search for term
The Kyoto-Protocol is an amendment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)and was agreed in 1997. The objective of the Protocol was to reduce the annual greenhouse gas emissions of industrialized countries by an average of 5.2 percent compared to 1990 levels during the first so called commitment period (2008-2012). Today 191 countries have ratified the Kyoto Protocol. For the second commitment period (2013-2020) the reduction targets are being updated. Furthermore, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) was added to the basket of the six Kyoto Protocol gases. The Protocol has never been ratified by the USA and Canada withdrew its ratification in 2013. The Kyoto-Protocol will be replaced by the Paris Agreement in 2020.
Montreal Protocol search for term
The Montreal Protocol is a multilateral environmental agreement regulating production and consumption of ozone depleting substances. Its core target was the global phase out of CFC production and use. The Protocol was signed in September 1987 and ratified by all 191 Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Till 2004 the production volume of ozone depleting substances was reduced by 97 percent compared to 1987 which is why it is known as one of the most successful international Agreements. The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol includes additional targets for the reduction of HFCs which contribute to global warming. In this way, the objective of the Montreal Protocol has been extended to climate protection.
National inventory report search for term
The National inventory report (NIR) is part of the greenhouse gas inventory. The greenhouse gas emissions of a country are described and calculated in detail and on a regular basis in national inventory reports. Methods and data sources used for data collection are explained. These are based on the methodologies developed by the IPCC. The national inventory reports relate to the period of the covered in the CRF tables.
ODS Regulation 1005/2009 search for term
This EU regulation contains provisions on ozone depleting substances (ODS). It sets the legal framework for the implementation of the EU's commitments under the Montreal Protocol. The provisions refer to production, import and export, use, recovery, and destruction of ODS as well as placing on the market and recycling of these substances.
Paris Agreement search for term
The Paris Agreement entered into force in November 2016. Its objective is to limit the rise of global average temperature to 2 degrees Celsius - if possible to 1.5 degree Celsius - compared to the pre-industrial level. For this purpose, it is imperative that the global economy is decarbonised till the second half of the 21st century, i.e. getting carbon-neutral. For the first time, all Parties to the UNFCCC defined national climate protection goals ("national determined contribution" (NDC)) which are reviewed and adjusted every 5 years.
Phase Down search for term
The Phase down is a core element of the EU F-gas Regulation 517/2014. It refers to a stepwise reduction of the amounts of HFCs placed on the EU market (expressed in CO2-equivalents). The basis for this calculation (baseline) are the average HFC amounts placed on the EU market in 2009 to 2012. In 2015 the allowed supply was 100 % of the baseline value. A stepwise reduction to 21 % is scheduled until 2030.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change search for term
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international, multilateral agreement of the United Nations. It was agreed in 1992 and entered into force in 1994. Its main objective is to prevent a dangerous anthropogenic influence of the global climate. The international agreement is thus aiming at stabilizing the concentration of global greenhouse gas emissions. The highest decision-making committee of the UNFCCC is the annual Conference of the parties (COP). 195 countries have ratified the UNFCCC by today. At the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) in December 2015 the Paris Agreement was passed, which represents the second amendment to the UNFCCC after the Kyoto-Protocol.

It was, therefore, with great anticipation that we headed across the M62 in the trusty campervan aiming for the Lakeside Holiday Park. This was a perfect way to spend not just one day, but the whole weekend, as not only do they offer discounted entry but a second visit within a week is included. Perfect for a weekend of total Brideshead immersion.
The Stable Courtyard is where the ticket office, cafe and giftshops are found and there is plenty of parking for cars, campervans and coaches. Castle Howard does seem to be a popular spot for coach trips, particularly those full of overseas visitors on whirlwind tours of the UK, stopping only for brief photo opportunities between Cambridge and Edinburgh! We visited the Courtyard on our first afternoon for tea and cake and a mooch around the shops, before heading to the campsite.
There is, of course, plenty of other accommodation nearby but the Lakeside Holiday Park is a mile away from the entrance to Castle Howard and offers excellent views of the house both from the Lakeside walk and roads nearby.
From the site it is possible to walk to the house, however the route is along the busy access road, so the next day we decided to drive, confident that we would be getting plenty of exercise walking around the grounds once we got there. The fact that it was raining was the deciding factor! Rain was also the deciding factor driving us into the house as soon as we arrived. We spent about 2 hours inside, enjoying the magnificence of the interior, the exhibitions and the history of both the house and the family. The following pictures are just a sample of the rooms seen on the house tour.
The China Landing is the first room in the house. It is a lovely bright and airy space due to the huge skylight. It is up a flight of stairs that was purpose built for visitors but does have a stairlift.
The Antique Passage shows the bust and statue collection of the 4th Earl.
The Great Hall and Dome are pretty awesome. This area is used for weddings – what a spectacular venue.
The Turquoise Drawing Room was refurbished in 2002 and is quite stunning.
We particularly enjoyed the 'Duty Calls' exhibition, which explains the story of the house, family and tenants in times of war, and the story and photos of the 1940s fire and 'Brideshead Restored'.
After a morning in the house we were ready to eat. There are several places that provide food and drink. By the end of the weekend we had enjoyed afternoon tea in the Courtyard Cafe (with Wifi should you need it) and the Boathouse Cafe (lovely setting by the lake, spoiled only by paper cups!) and two excellent hot lunches in the Fitzroy Room.
There is a programme of free guided walks on the hour which last about 35 mins and start from the Boar garden. These have various themes; we chose the 'Introduction to Castle Howard' which took us around the building and highlighted various points of interest, including the time capsule from 1982 to be opened in 3982! It is worth planning your day around these walks as they do give a special insight into the house and garden.
Happily for us the rain had stopped by the time we were ready to explore further. There is ample opportunity for fresh air and exercise with lots to discover outside and plenty of photo opportunities available.
The Atlas Fountain was commissioned in 1850 and transported from London by railway. What a sight that must have been. It usually operates between 10.30am and 4pm.
There is a nice view of the house and Prince of Wales Fountain from the South Lake.
The Mausoleum and New River Bridge can be seen from the grounds but are not part of the tour.
The Walled Garden, including the Rose Garden, is the place to head to if you like flowers.
Much of the site is flat and accessible. For anyone less mobile or just wanting a ride there is a Tractor Train or Kelly Car which travels between the Ticket Office, the house entrance and the Boathouse Cafe and Adventure Playground.
Returning the next day, the sun came out and we were able to make the most of our two day ticket by revisiting the house and taking a pleasant stroll around the grounds to take sunnier pictures (albeit with background of 'dramatic' skies). It has to be said that amazing as the house and garden at Castle Howard are, the staff are most definitely one of their finest treasures. Everyone we met was delightful, super friendly and only too happy to answer questions. A thoroughly lovely weekend, thanks to all.

In May, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a proposed rule for a new microloan program within the existing Farm Service Agency's (FSA) operating loan program. FSA proposes to offer annual or term microloans of up to $35,000 that feature a streamlined application process and less stringent requirements in order to better serve small and beginning farmers' credit needs. NFU submitted formal comments on the microloan proposal on July 24.
National Farmers Union (NFU) policy supports the establishment of a more flexible microloan category within the operating loan program, as well as efforts to streamline loan programs to make the application process more accessible and less time-consuming for farmer and ranchers. Access to capital is one of the greatest obstacles beginning farmers and ranchers face, and this proposal should provide an opportunity to alleviate that burden for many of these farmers while helping ease the challenge of navigating FSA loan program applications and requirements.
A collateral requirement of 100 percent of the loan amount (vs. 150 percent for operating loans), with flexibility to use equipment, foundation livestock, real estate, or, in the absence of these, sales of future crops to meet the requirement.
Read NFU's press release on the microloan proposal here.
Note: This is an update to a June 1, 2012 post.

A Home (Flash Fiction)
The tree fell with a thunderous roar upon the forest floor, throwing foliage and branches in erroneous directions; this was the first of many trees Jeff was going to tumble to build his first log cabin. He had lived in one as a child, but to build it with his own hands was going to be momentous challenge.
The floor plans he received from the architecture firm were filled with dimensions, symbols and notes he first didn't understand, but with some perseverance and hours of studying at a local community college he now understood the meaning of what seemed like a foreign language before.
'Yes!, one down and a lot more to go', Jack proudly said to himself.
Jack climbed in the cab of the log hauler, hooked the chain securely around the tree and began to pull it to the collection pile he had designated for the debarking and cutting process. Cutting down trees was the easy part, but preparing the logs to be turned into the walls for his new abode was going to be the true test of his abilities. Climbing down from the cab of the hauler to release the log from the chain Jack noticed a twist had formed in the links, this concerned him because it would cause more tension in the chain and possibly snap back. The Best course of action in a circumstance like this is to relieve some tension on the chain, so he climbed back up into the cab and backed up, he could hear the chain relax and see the twists loosen. He smiled, Jumped of the hauler and removed the chain from the log. Standing back, putting his hands on his hip, nodding and smiling he viewed this his first successful log haul; he was on his way to not building a house but his family's new home.

Holla guys and gals! Recently I hired a math tutor to guide me with some topics in math . My problem areas included topics such as factor multi variable equation and quadratic formula. Now that teacher turned out to be so dumb , that instead of helping me now I'm even more confused than I earlier was . I still can't solve problems on those topics. And the exam time is fast approaching . I need someone to help me out. Is there anything in particular that can be done to get some sort of help? I have a good set of questions to help me learn these topics, but the problem is I just can't solve them, no matter how much effort I put in. Please help!
If you can give details about factor multi variable equation, I could provide help to solve the math problem. If you don't want to pay for a math tutor, the next best option would be a correct computer program which can help you to solve the problems. Algebrator is the best I have come across which will explain every step to any algebra problem that you may write from your book. You can simply write it down as your homework . This Algebrator should be used to learn math rather than for copying answers for assignments.
Cool! I wish to know more about this program's features and how much it costs. Where can I get the info?
This one is actually quite different. I am recommending it only after trying it myself. You can find the details about the software at https://softmath.com/faqs-regarding-algebra.html.


Openness on stage is a choice, a powerful choice that make any scene more grounded, intuitive and vital. In this workshop, improv students will engage in three different theatre exercises designed to develop and heighten their artistic and scenic openness. After the completion of these three exercises, the improvisers will improvise a 2 person scene with their heightened awareness of the strength of choosing to be open.

Pearl Jam pays tribute to Tom Petty and Chris Cornell during Seattle homecoming shows
Photo: Mike Coppola (Getty Images)
As reported by Consequence Of Sound, Pearl Jam took a moment during its homecoming shows at Seattle's Safeco Field to honor some loved ones and influential artists who have recently died. First was a cover of Chris Cornell's "Missing," a track from Cornell's 1992 EP Poncier that Consequence considers an "ultra-deep cut." You can see a fan-recorded version of it below:
Cornell was a longtime friend and frequent collaborator with Pearl Jam, with both bands coming up in Seattle's '90s grunge scene. Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder was on a solo tour in Europe at the time of Cornell's death last year, and before working up the nerve to address Cornell's death directly onstage, he performed tweaked versions of songs like Neil Young's "The Needle And The Damage Done" and Cat Stevens' "Trouble" that reflected his grieving process.
During the Safeco show on Friday, Vedder kicked off of the first encore by returning to the stage by himself and singing Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" solo. Clearly choked up, Vedder noted that the last time he had seen Petty perform live was at Safeco Field, so he asked the audience to sing along and shine the lights from their phones so he could try and "get [Petty's] attention and tell him I miss him."

Q: Copy a file using .bat to another location Is it possible to use a wildcard (instead of hard-coding entire file name) to copy files from one location to another?  Also, I'd like to attach HHSS (hours and seconds) to the file name.
Example:  Everyday, our system generates a few files with following name format:
GL_YYYYMMDD.txt
AP_YYYYMMDD.txt

I want to copy/move these files to another folder called "Backups" and attach HHSS (hours and seconds) so file name would look something like:
GL_YYYYMMDDHHSS
AP_YYYYMMDDHHSS

Rem Determine date
Set mm1=%date:~4,2%
Set dd1=%date:~7,2%

To insert additional components in the filename, you're going to need to get them one at a time.  I recommend a FOR loop.
Side note:  be cautious with possible spaces in your date and time extractions.  For example, check that 9am is represented as "09:00" instead of " 9:00".
Here's a quick example of the FOR loop using your proposed mechanism for grabbing the time (which I did not confirm works in the morning):
@echo off
REM Determine Time
Set HH=%time:~0,2%
IF "%HH:~0,1%" == " " SET HH=0%HH:~1,1%
Set MM=%time:~3,2%

Set runtime=%HH%%MM%%SEC%

for %%F in (test*.dat) do copy "%%F" "..\b\%%~nF%runtime%%%~xF"

MA to Prohibit Mandatory Arbitration?
A bill prohibiting mandatory arbitration of employment-related claims, introduced in late 2017 before the Massachusetts House of Representatives, continues to gain traction in early 2018. The bill (House Bill 4058), which proposes legislation that would prohibit enforcement of mandatory arbitration agreements "relating to a claim of discrimination, non-payment of wages or benefits, retaliation, harassment or violation of public policy in employment," is currently being considered by the state Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. The state Senate Committee on Ways and Means is also currently evaluating a similar bill (Senate Bill 4058), which contains similar prohibitions regarding the arbitration of employment related claims. Both bills would impose attorneys' fees as remedies.
Set against the backdrop of the "#MeToo" movement and the recent onslaught of allegations of harassment in the workplace, the proposed legislation in Massachusetts is joined by similar proposed legislation in a number of other states as well as in the federal legislature. The proposed federal legislation (named the "End Forced Arbitration of Sexual Harassment Act") – and which was introduced with bipartisan support – would prohibit the enforcement of arbitration agreements pertaining to allegations of sexual harassment or discrimination brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Notably, the proposed Massachusetts bills go further than the proposed federal bill, insofar as the Massachusetts bills would also prohibit arbitration claims as to wage claims as well as discrimination claims.
Although this proposed federal and Massachusetts legislation has not yet become law (and though it may be months, or even years, before it does if at all), employers should stay on the lookout for any further legislative developments, both on a state and federal level. In light of the considerable momentum and mounting social awareness surrounding the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, it is possible that the current legal landscape pertaining to arbitration agreements may shift in the near future. To that end, employers should also continue to dedicate significant attention to the enforcement of anti-harassment and discrimination policies, and should consult with counsel in doing so.
