Collision Damage Waiver is an optional service. If accepted it reduces your financial liability for loss or damage to the Hertz vehicle and its parts and accessories. This is providing that the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. CDW can be mandatory in some contract or preferential rates. There will be an own risk left in case of damages, the amount of which is determined by the car class and location. Your customer is financially liable in case of damages when this insurance has not been accepted.
CDW is brought into action when your customer experiences damages to the rented car. This is why you should always advise your customers to accept this insurance.
Please note: CDW is not available for additional equipment such as; Hertz Neverlost, Child seats, ski-racks, etc.
It is possible to reduce customer's own risk to zero when he or she accepts the Super Cover insurance. You can find more information regarding SuperCover insurance in the corresponding Hertzipedia article.
Please note! Theft Protection is included in both of our Hertz Business+ and Hertz Business Lite rates.

How is everything going I am Li Jin, president of the Student Union from Chenguang Middle School. Now I am writing an e-mail to tell you something about our donated books.
We will go to take part in the summer camp held by your school this July, which makes us very excited. At the same time, we are going to bring along about five hundred books with us for your class. Most of them are about Chinese and some about Chinese cooking as well. I believe these donated books will not only make you more familiar with China but help enhance your Chinese.
By the way, if you need any other kind of books, please do tell me.

Have something to say about Google Earth Pro? Say it here!
Does Google Earth Pro not work anymore?
I copy-paste the licence into the popupwindow at startup.
It tells me to create a username. I skip this part and I only see a black screen (Google Earth Pro, but without the earth).
I then close and start over, pressing the "Have license key, but no user name. And finally i get sent to https://geoauth.google.com/pw_find.html?utm_source=redirect&utm_medium=findkey&utm_campaign=freeclient but will get "error 404".
I get the same error if I go via the Help-menu after starting program.
And thanks for all your efforts making us able to test full programs for our convenience.
I just typed my name, no need to register.
Same like above, starts installing and then stops and disappears. I tried several times and it always does the same .
Does this work on Windows 10 ?
It does not say in the tech details, only up to win 8.
Installed but where do enter the license key I received?

(Re)connection:
A Basic Principle of Action Behind Psychedelics?
This post is also available in: English Deutsch Português
Christoph Benner, M.Sc.
Christoph Benner has studied bioenergetic dysfunction in depression and is doing his doctoral research at ETH Zürich.
Edited by Lucca Jaeckel & Abigail Calder
Ecology & Environment
This post was a submission for the 2020 uniMIND Blog Post Award.
'This connection, it's just a lovely feeling… this sense of connectedness, we are all interconnected.'1
– Depressed patient after experiencing a therapeutic dose of psilocybin.
In the ever-accelerating world in which we live, many people feel increasingly lost and left behind. Despite omnipresent social media, rates of anxiety and depression have been rising for years.2 As a potential antidote against this loss of connection to oneself and others, psychedelics are experiencing a renaissance in science and medicine:3,4 They can provide an opportunity to identify misguided life decisions and weave new, meaningful patterns into our social webs.5
Just how are psychedelic substances able to do this? In the following paragraphs, I will argue that an underlying principle of psychedelics is connection – or even reconnection. This reconnection works on different levels: the biological, the psychological, the societal, and the ecological.
The Biological Level
Let's do a little magic trick. Please adopt a relaxed, comfortable position and do the following:
Think about your favorite food. Imagine the texture, the different flavors, the colors, the smell. Try to completely dwell in the delicious experience this food provides you with.
Pretty cool trick, isn't it? Your brain created a kind of virtual reality without the need for special goggles! This virtual reality, the food you were thinking about ten seconds ago, is generated by neurons in the brain connecting with each other. With this example in mind, let's take a look at how considering the 'wiring' of neurons can help us understand depression.
Depression is associated with a change in neuronal connectivity, among other things, in brain areas belonging to what neuroscientists call the default mode network (DMN).6 This network – as the name suggests – is active in our default mode: when we daydream, think about ourselves, or let our minds wander. On the other hand, when we are engaged in a task that requires focusing on a specific external stimulus, the DMN's activity is dampened and other brain areas become more active. It is this fluidity in functional connectivity that makes for a healthy mind.
In depressed patients, however, fluidity is reduced to rigidity. Cognition shifts dramatically towards constant negative thinking patterns, particularly about oneself.7 Likewise, trying to imagine anything pleasant – like one's favorite food – becomes difficult when cognition is stuck in such a negative loop.
Fascinatingly, psychedelics are able to loosen the rigidity within the DMN and allow brain regions to reconnect with each other in a way that resembles a healthy dynamic.8,9 In fact, psychedelic compounds seem to selectively increase neuronal connectivity at the molecular level.10 This means that they may be able to reconnect neuronal pathways that have been lost during a long period of depression.11 One can see how this effect on neuronal connectivity translates to increased well-being by looking at…
The Psychological Level
In one of their publications, the research team headed by Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris roughly defined the ego as "a sensation of possessing an immutable identity or personality; most simply, the ego is our 'sense of self'".12 For each of us, the sense of self encapsulates a range of mental processes: the feeling of having a body, remembering past experiences, feeling emotions, or planning the future. Having an ego associated with these mental processes is usually not a problem. But disorders like depression arise when the ego takes the wheel on the highway of cognitive life, steering towards negative cognition at every opportunity. This illusory and false identification of (negative) thoughts with the sense of self is like mistakenly identifying a picture of an object with the object itself, as beautifully illustrated by René Magritte's famous painting "The Treachery of Images":
Figure 1: The Treachery of Images by René Magritte, 1929.
To put it simply: Just as there is no pipe in the picture, there is no self or ego in a thought.
Carhart-Harris and his team further postulate that the function of the DMN correlates with the function of the ego. He writes:
"Specifically, we propose that within-default mode network (DMN) resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) and spontaneous, synchronous oscillatory activity in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), particularly in the alpha (8–13 Hz) frequency band, can be treated as neural correlates of 'ego integrity.'"12
What that means is that our sense of self is associated with the activity in a functional neuronal network (i.e. the DMN), held together by alpha band activity (8-13 Hz) and forming a well-orchestrated pattern (synchronous oscillatory activity). As explained above, a depressed brain is partly characterized by a too tightly-bound DMN that translates into the psychological burden these patients carry. In other words, depressed patients suffer from an ego that is too dominant. What happens, then, if psychedelics temporarily cut the threads that hold the ego together? A depressed patient who underwent a psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy session gives the answer:
"This connection, it's just a lovely feeling… this sense of connectedness, we are all interconnected." (male, aged 52).1
As a possible explanation for this increased feeling of connectedness, psychedelics seem to bring the brain into a state of higher entropy, defined as an increase in possible connections between regions. They seem to induce a collapse of the usual pattern of activity within the DMN, and thereby the subjectively experienced ego (see Figure 2).12,13 One consequence of this seems to be a greater feeling of connection with the environment. This environment could be other people (society) or the surrounding nature (ecology).
Figure 2: Resting-state functional connectivity pattern of the primary visual cortex (RSFC) compared between placebo and LSD. The Pattern showcases the heightened brain entropy after psychedelics.14
The Societal Level
Timothy Leary's quote "turn on, tune in, drop out" was the famous triad of the 1960's psychedelic counter-culture that led many people into the novel realm of the psychedelic experience. While the statement's political implications are controversial, recent research illuminates why it may have been so appealing in combination with psychedelics. Recent psychological research has now shown that LSD changes social cognition by enhancing openness, trust, empathy, prosocial behavior, the desire to be with other people, and perceived closeness to others.15,16 Thus, it is not surprising that people who shared this previously unknown, deeply changed perception of themselves with others also engaged in discussions about how a new, better society might be established.
The tragedy was that the discovery of LSD was only 30 years old, and psychedelic rituals didn't come with a harm reduction manual. The promised liberating effect on the mind was so alluring that many people took psychedelics in an irresponsible manner, which led to the political denunciation of psychedelic compounds by the administration of Richard Nixon.17 How that ended is well-documented: Scientific investigation into the medical applications of psychedelics was shut down for several decades.18,19
Now, there are signs that the use of psychedelics in medical and recreational settings is slowly being decriminalized in the United States.20,21 We should not miss the opportunity to discuss how to implement these tools for personal and societal development in our culture before the wave of decriminalization reaches Europe. This way, we can try to avoid the lack of harm reduction that hampered the responsible integration of psychedelics into society in previous generations. Perhaps even more importantly, the safe introduction of the psychedelic experience into society will allow us to reconnect to…
The Ecological Level
How are psychedelics and ecological concern connected? Some believe that psychedelic compounds might increase connectedness to nature by dissolving ego boundaries, resulting in the inclusion of nature in self-identification.22 This effect is described in the following patient report:
"Before [the psychedelic experience] I enjoyed nature, now I feel part of it. Before I was looking at it as a thing, like TV or a painting. [But] you're part of it, there's no separation or distinction, you are it."23
Evidence is growing for the theory that psychedelics increase connectedness to nature. In a small study involving patients with treatment-resistant depression, nature-relatedness and authoritarianism were shown to be increased and decreased, respectively, lasting for up to 12 months after psilocybin administration.24 Additionally, in a large-scale general population online study, participants reported that their use of psychedelics increased their self-identification with nature, which was in turn associated with pro-environmental behavior.25 Furthermore, another survey study found that related attitudes and beliefs, like the personality trait of "openness" and liberal political views, were positively associated with the ingestion of psychedelics, although the magnitude of this effect should not be overestimated.26
It is a matter of ongoing discussion whether the relationship between nature-relatedness and psychedelics is causal or correlational. However, preliminary findings indicate that in addition to the positive effects on healthy individuals, exposure to nature within depression treatment might significantly increase the success rate. A thorough and more in-depth review about psychedelics and nature relatedness can be found elsewhere.27
In the increasing number of studies on psychedelics from the last two decades, connection is a recurring theme. Psychedelics facilitate new connections between neurons, which translates into higher connectivity between certain regions in the brain. This effect might represent the core of psychedelics' antidepressant effects, and potentially their general therapeutic potential.
In Aldous Huxley's novel Island, a utopian society builds its ecological beliefs on using psychedelic mushrooms. Likewise, the meaningful and ethically informed use of psychedelics could help people reconnect to their social and ecological environments. If we continue to carefully and critically examine the scientific advances and legislative changes regarding psychedelics, we can edge closer to the vision of the MIND Foundation: to build a healthier, more connected world.

PHOTO BY GEREMY BORDANARO/GLEANER?NEWS: Doug Eiche (background) sells his honey at the Bloor-Borden Farmers' Market. An initiative of the Harbord Village Residents' Association, the market runs every Wednesday until Oct. 19 from 3 to 7 p.m. out of the Green P parking lot just south of Bloor Street between Borden and Lippincott streets. The market's 22 stalls also offer bread, vegetables, meats, wines, and fruits from a variety of producers.
Founders of the popular Bloor-Borden farmers' market are concerned that they will be unable to run the market for much longer if their provincial grants continue to decline.
Now in its ninth year, the market operates every Wednesday until Oct. 19 from 3 to 7 p.m. out of the Green P parking lot just south of Bloor Street between Borden and Lippincott streets.
The residents' association receives approximately $3,000 annually from Farmers' Markets Ontario (FMO), a provincially-funded organization, to run the market. That amount covers towing parked cars from the area, a market manager's salary, and liability insurance. The HVRA and Annex Residents' Association also each contribute $500, which goes largely towards advertising and musicians' fees.
"The market has to sustain itself," said Catherine Clark, FMO's Membership, Outreach and My Pick manager, adding that sales are better at the [Bloor-Borden market] than at the other two Toronto markets the organization funds.
But despite all evidence that the market is thriving, Sinclair insists that the funding is not enough.
Clark noted that other markets have musicians, but not to the same extent as Bloor-Borden, which is as much a weekly mini-festival for the community as anything else.
Every Wednesday, he pipes open the market with his bagpipes, after which other musicians take over to perform for the shoppers. It's a different group each week.
There's an ersatz public square in the centre of the market with tables and chairs where anything non-political, not-for-profit, and/or good for the community goes. It's also a spot for special visitors.
And, it's hard to know if the enhancements are what accounts for the number of shoppers visiting the thriving market each week.
The HVRA also works hard to promote the market, even with its declining budget.
"We got little signs made in colour, bought stakes which I've sharpened, and then we put them around. These are up all summer," said Sinclair.
Clark, who said that she expects the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to "slash" funds again next year, is hopeful that the market will find a way to continue.
Despite repeated requests, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs did not provide a reason for decreasing its funding to Farmers' Markets Ontario. Abigail Dancey, who is with the ministry's issues, media and editorial services department, did write in an email that "our 2016 Budget reaffirms the importance of the Ontario agriculture and agri-food sector in the province of Ontario. Our government continues to support local food initiatives with a $6 million investment over three years to the Greenbelt Fund to deliver programming across Ontario, including the new Local Food Investment Fund".

Sex and the City actresses show support
Ara 21, 2021 the Sex And The City TV show have expressed, the women who have come forward
The leading actresses of the Sex And The City TV show have expressed support for two women who have accused their co-star Chris Noth of sexual assault.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis said they were "deeply saddened" to hear of the allegations.
"We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences," they said in a joint statement.
Mr. Noth, 67, has rejected the accusations as "categorically false".
The actor, who played the character of Mr. Big in the hugely popular series – the main love interest for Sarah Jessica Parker's protagonist – has said the encounters with both women were consensual.
However, he has been dropped from several contracts since the allegations were made in The Hollywood Reporter magazine last week.
Four days on from the initial reports, US networks CBS and Universal Television confirmed that Mr. Noth had been sacked from his current show, The Equaliser. Fitness brand Peloton removed an advert featuring him from its social media pages last week.
The statement, issued on all three actresses' social media pages, comes just a fortnight after a sequel to Sex And The City was released, entitled And Just Like That… in which Mr Noth reprised his role as Mr. Big.
The women who have accused Mr. Noth of sexual assault told The Hollywood Reporter that seeing him on the new show had prompted them to come forward.
They gave detailed accounts of the alleged assaults to the magazine, under the pseudonyms Zoe and Lily.
Zoe, now 40, says she was 22 years old when the actor allegedly raped her at an apartment in West Hollywood in 2004.
Lily, now 31, says she was raped in his Greenwich Village apartment in New York City in 2015 when she was 25 and he was 60.
The detailed article by journalist Kim Masters also interviews people such as Zoe's boss at the time, a rape treatment center, and a friend of Lily's whose accounts all seem to back up both women's claims. The article also quotes text messages purportedly between Mr. Noth and Lily at the time of the alleged assault.
Mr. Noth has said in a statement to US outlets: "The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false.
"These stories could've been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago – no always means no – that is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual."
"It's difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don't know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women."
Los Angeles Police has said the allegations have not led to an investigation because no official report has been made to police.
Besides Sex And The City, Mr. Noth is known for his acting roles on Law & Order and The Good Wife.
He has been married to actress Tara Wilson since 2012. They have two children together.
