Getting to the heart of sex and love
by Ryan Mcnutt, Dalhousie University
Credit: Adam Foster
Every which way you turn in our culture, you'll find representations of sex and love—even if you're not necessarily looking for them.
The problem, says Letitia Meynell, is that we're often quite terrible at actually talking about them.
"We have this weird situation in our society where sex is prevalent everywhere in our popular culture, but we don't talk seriously about it," explains Dr. Meynell, who teaches Dal's course on the philosophy of sex and love (PHIL 2170) in the Department of Philosophy.
"The same thing is true about love," she continues. "There exist in our society these strange ideas about love, like 'unconditional love.' Surely every loving relationship is conditional, especially between partners. If someone is physically hurting you, for example, you have good reasons to leave them! You may well stop loving them. We don't really talk about the conditions for a loving relationship, though."
Questioning assumptions
This is Dr. Meynell's second time teaching the second-year undergrad class, which she inherited from the late Sue Campbell. ("She is really the mastermind behind it," says Dr. Meynell, "so I'm very much influenced by how she taught it.") The class has about 140 students in it this term and features a broad, wide-ranging syllabus of readings and course material.
"We start with discussions about sex: what sex is in terms of sexual activity, sex differences, sexual identity, sexual politics. What's nice about starting with basic discussions around sex is that when we start talking about love, we have that foundation, because we're talking mostly about erotic love or romantic love, as opposed to something like heavenly love or friendship."
The class then concludes with analysis of several topics ranging from marriage, to sex work, to sexual violence.
Dr. Meynell says she hopes students in the class come away with stronger philosophical skills more generally—reading carefully, thinking clearly, being able to criticize positions and formulate their own—but also an ability and willingness to question their assumptions about sexual relationships and norms, as well as what it means to love and to love well.
"We have this contradictory mindset about love and sex, and it's also very gendered: what women are expected to put up with and how they're expected to behave can be very different than men, and we don't talk honestly about that."
What strikes her is the enduring power of tropes and norms about sex and love in spite of evidence and lived experience to the contrary: from the fetishizing of non-consent through "seduction," to the romantic ideal of marriage as a life-long bond, to the dismissal of sexual assault perpetrated against men due to its perceived emasculation.
"We not only cling to these things that we know, from our experience, are often false, but we presume our experiences are anomalous, and that what's actually normal and common is still the trope."
Changing norms
And yet, sexual and romantic norms do evolve and change—sometimes, quite rapidly. Dr. Meynell cites attitudes towards homosexuality and differences in sexual orientations more generally as an inspiring sea change: that within a generation, we've gone from a culture where LGBTQ individuals faced widespread prejudice and often violence to one where the popular attitude is that those who engage in hetereosexist or homophobic activities are regressive.
"If we've made this kind of advance in terms of personal freedom and recognition of the many ways to love, what else might we do?" asks Dr. Meynell. "What else needs to be changed, or to be better? Let's try to reimagine more positive sexual relationships and love relationships more generally… If you don't stand back and think about how it might be different, you just accept all those norms."

What is this opinion piece doing on a science site?
Yes, it is not only just an opinion piece, it also fails to be able to distinguish the difference between having sex and making love. This is so typical of today's society.
freethinking
The reason Secular Humanistic thinking can't understand love is that they can't define it.
What amazes me is that a simple people 2000 years ago had an easy time defining love. They defined love as : Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
As society moves away from the world view that so simply defined love, no wonder society is getting so confused about what love is.

Sorry, but as you don't impress me as a particularly loving person (re: the hate you have promulgated in past comments you have made), I find it odd you profess such expertise on the subject.

Sask. lags behind Canada in organ donations
The number of organ donations after death are on the rise in Canada, but Saskatchewan and Manitoba continue to lag behind the rest of the country.

Organ donations after death are becoming more common in Canada, but Saskatchewan and Manitoba continue to lag behind the rest of the country.
According to new data released Thursday by Canadian Blood Services and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), the deceased donor rate in Canada last year was 20.9 per million people, up from 18.1 donors per million people in 2015.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba had the lowest deceased donor rate of any region; together, the two provinces had a rate of 11.7 donors per million people in 2016, up from 10.7 in 2015.
Pioneers of transplant surgery: Saskatoon has a long, significant history in the field of kidney transplants
Ontario, which had the greatest deceased donor rate in the country last year, had a rate of 25.2 donors per million people.
Juliana Wu, manager for the Canadian Organ Replacement Register, said the increased number of donors in Saskatchewan and Manitoba is "a good news story," but it's hard to say why Saskatchewan and Manitoba lag behind the rest of the country. She said when provinces look at how to improve donor rates, they need to think about individuals (whether people are encouraged to become organ donors) and the system (whether potential donors can be recognized and organs efficiently recovered).
Saskatchewan's poor record on organ donation is well known. In his last throne speech in October, retiring Premier Brad Wall said his government would dedicate itself to implementing new organ donation measures whereby all deaths or imminent deaths in hospital critical-care units are referred to an organ donation group.
Although Canada's deceased donor rate increased last year, the country's living donor rate — where someone voluntarily donates an organ, such as a kidney, or part of an organ, such as a liver or lung — slipped. In 2016, the living donor rate was 15 donors per million people, down from 15.7 in 2015.
The living donor rate for Saskatchewan and Manitoba was 13.4 donors per million people last year, up from 7.4 in 2015. The highest living donor rates last year were in British Columbia/Yukon and Alberta/Northwest Territories/Nunavut (both at 19.8). The lowest was in Quebec (6.7).
Low donation rate leads to long wait list for kidneys
According to CIHI data, 115 people were on a wait list to receive a kidney transplants in Saskatchewan at the end of 2016.
That year, 25 kidney transplants were performed in the province — 17 from deceased donors and eight from living donors. That was a jump from 2015, when 15 kidney transplants were done.
Nova Scotia, which has a slightly smaller population than Saskatchewan, recorded 76 kidney donations in 2016.

The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom (2011)
Plot Summary (2)
Elizabeth Alison Gray is just your average suburban eleven-year-old waiting for adolescence to arrive when she finds out her whole life has been a lie. With only her imagination to guide her, she runs away to find the truth.
—Palomar [ca]
Edit Report This
It's 1976, and Elizabeth is just your average suburban eleven-year-old praying for adolescence to arrive when she discovers her whole life has been a lie. With only her imagination to guide her, Elizabeth runs away in search of her true identity. Her adoptive mother Marion is then forced to break out of the carefully constructed "truth", to which she's been clinging, and go after her daughter. This leads to a cathartic cross-country trek by a mother searching for a daughter who's searching for a mother, both of them really searching for themselves. This movie is a poignant, sometimes funny, very female, coming-of-age story that explores the tension between creating identity, and finding it within.

Best indie games for PC in 2021
Denner PerazzoAugust 2st, 2021 Comment01.9 k
While you can find the best indie games on almost every platform these days, most of them started on the PC. With platforms like the itch.io allowing anyone to send their magnum opus – or tech demo – to the masses, PC gaming is still the starting point for creative and innovative indies. Here are our best indie PC games, from famous fan favorites like Cuphead to the lesser known That Dragon Cancer.
If you're looking for other types of games, we've also found the best coop games, best games for android and os best games for iOS in 2021.
Spelunky
Frost Punk
Lucas Pope's sequel to the magnificent Papers, Please! (hint for later) is one of the best puzzle games we've ever played. Return of the Obra Dinn puts you in the shoes of an insurance adjuster circa 1807. Your task is to board the mysterious Obra Dinn, a merchant ship that was previously declared lost at sea, and identify the bodies of the 60 crew members.
All you have at your disposal is a notebook with the ship's manifest, some supporting documents, and a magical pocket watch that transports you to the moments before the unfortunate death of a crew member. Return of the Work Dinn forces you to play a long game, as identifying even a single person requires careful observation.
It's basically an elaborate logical puzzle and ridiculously brilliant, being one of the best indie games. Rendered in classic Macintosh 1-bit graphics, Return of the Work Dinn has a unique aesthetic that will stay with you long after you put 60 names on 60 corpses.
Developed by Subset Games, the studio behind FTL: Faster Than Light, Into the Breach is a tactical game with deceptive depth. Each level in Into the Breach takes place on a small grid-based map. Unlike other turn-based strategy games, you only control a few units and face several others.
Your main objective, however, is to protect the buildings from nefarious alien insects called Vek. The game's grip is to stall Vek for a small number of turns in order to move on to the next mission. If all your units are eliminated, however, you'll have to start the game all over again, rogue-like style. With a brilliant design, an invigorating challenge and a relentless charm, Into the Breach is a masterpiece of tactics and one of the best indie games.
A beautiful, moving and ultimately inspiring game from Numinous Games, That Dragon, Cancer takes players through the Green family's experience with childhood cancer. Ryan and Amy Green's 1-year-old son Joel was diagnosed with terminal cancer but far outlived his prognosis by surviving another four years.
That Dragon, Cancer lets you see snippets of what the Green family went through during Joel's battle with cancer through a point-and-click adventure game that ranks among the best indie games. While the subject involves some serious themes, Numinous Games created That Dragon, Cancer as an ode to Joel's courageous and inspiring battle. It will make you cry, but it will also inspire hope.
Quadrilateral Cowboy puts you in the role of a hacker in the 1980s. You work alongside several other agents to gain access to buildings to steal important documents and other items. However, as a hacker, you don't log in to finish the job. Instead, you help through a computer terminal, typing commands to help open doors, turn off cameras, and manipulate other objects.
Because robbery jobs depend on time, you need to be sharp to succeed. The commands (hacking entries) are not always clear. Before each mission, you have the chance to make a simulated version of subsequent events in "virtual reality", which allows you to plan strategies and find out what each agent will do and how. Quadrilateral Cowboy is an impressive feat and a truly new experience, deserving to be on this list of the best indie games.
Her Story's Steam page calls it: "A video game about a woman talking to the police." And that's technically true, but you have to play it to really understand its greatness. A full motion video (FMV) game, Her Story contains video clips of police interviews with Viva Seifert, an actress and musician whose husband has disappeared.
You sit at a table and type sentences to see the footage of Viva discussing this information with the police. Why are you watching these clips? What happened to her husband? Her story tells a tempting story in an unconventional way. If you are interested in storytelling in games, you should take a look at Her Story and understand why it is better indie games.
Much like Return of the Obra Dinn, another renowned Lucas Pope game allows players to assume the role of a relatively ordinary person. Situated on a border crossing inspired by East and West Berlin, you check passersby papers to make sure everything is in order and that they pose no threat during this tumultuous period in history.
Playing as an immigration officer might seem boring, but you'd be surprised at the depth Pope was able to put into this weird "puzzle" game. There is a much deeper meaning to be found in Papers, Please than just its peculiar premise. It's a wonderful experience that makes you think about the people and the world around you differently, making it one of the best indie games.
At first glance, you're captivated by its visuals, which are inspired by 1940s cartoons. When you start playing, however, you realize that it's much more than just a great looking game. Designed primarily as a boss rush, Cuphead features a wide variety of interesting and rather tough bosses leading to an eventual fight with the Devil himself, being a standout among the best indie games.
Each of the three worlds contains five well-designed boss fights with multiple stages. But wait, there's more. Cuphead also has two side-scrolling levels per world, each of which requires great platforming skills and a keen awareness of your surroundings. Cuphead is not an easy game, but it is worth playing.
One of the best games of 2018, Celeste is a precision platformer with surprising emotional depth. You play as Madeline, a young girl determined to climb the Celestial Mountain to overcome her own demons. Over a handful of chapters, you have to jump, climb, and think your way around each screen.
With expert platform design, a heartwarming story about mental illness, a brilliant soundtrack and charming retro visuals, Celeste doesn't have a low point. We awarded a rare 10/10 in our review. It's one of the best platform games we've played in a long, long time, deserving to be on any list of the best indie games.
Spelunky had humble beginnings as an open source game creator that Derek Yu shared on forums. The original version was officially released in 2008, but it only gained popularity with the enhanced version in 2012. In our estimation, Spelunky is not only one of the best indie games of all time, but one of the best games ever made.
A rogue-like sidecroller, you play as an adventurer who makes his way through procedurally generated rooms, avoiding villains and acquiring gold and useful items along the way. After you die, and death often comes, you must start at the beginning.
Spelunky has only four worlds with four levels each, but it's full of secret areas. Add to the fact that every play is different and Spelunky will make you spend hours playing it. It is a truly remarkable game that should be played by anyone with an interest in 2D platforms.
Before becoming a Nintendo Switch game, Hollow Knight started its life on the PC. Starring an insect knight holding a needle sword, this 2D Metroidvania game is one of the best indie games out there. With an absolutely huge map and a progression system that forces you to explore, Hollow Knight has a sense of wonder that few games of the genre have been able to replicate.
Dodge-centric combat is reminiscent of Dark Souls – tough but fair. Over the course of the 30-hour adventure, Hollow Knight delivers some of the most rewarding combat sequences and platforming seen in Metroidvania.
Like Hollow Knight, Dead Cells started out on PC before moving to consoles much later. Also like Hollow Knight, it's not comfortable being cast as a single genre, but it sure is one of the best indie games. At face value, it's a Metroidvania with a spacious map that opens up the more you play.
But it's also a rogue-lite, as you lose your progress – except for upgrades, weapons and stored projects – with every kill. Dead Cells is all about chipping away at a challenging task over time. The deaths are teaching lessons about what to do differently. Combat is comparable to Dark Souls, but in 2D; although the real reason to stick around is the attractive art style, the captivating world and the rewarding loot system.
Owlboy is now available on all major consoles, but it's vibrant, bright life began on PC. D-Pad Studio worked on Owlboy for nearly a decade before its release, and that dedication shows. You play as Otus, a young owl whose hometown has been invaded by sky pirates. Now it's with Otus and friends he meets along the way to save the day.
Owlboy has a beautiful 16-bit art style that harks back to platformers on the SNES. The world slowly opens up as Otus and his companions solve clever puzzles and fight villains. The puzzles are as good as those seen in The Legend of Zelda series, and the exploration is on par with the best Metroidvania titles. Infinitely charming and joyfully moving, Owlboy will keep you smiling until the end, being one of the best indie games.
Undertale captures a rare type of magic not seen since Earthbound, present on every list of the best indie games. Starring an unnamed child thrust into a world full of monsters, this JRPG is all about subverting their expectations. Undertale shines in its writing and characterization.
It's extremely funny, moving and wonderfully written. Without spoiling anything, Undertale has one of the most poignant messages we've seen in a game. And if you like Toby Fox's exquisite creation, you can play his successor, Deltarune, completely free of charge. It's also, unsurprisingly, amazing.
Eric Barone designed Stardew Valley as a sort of ode to Harvest Moon, but for PC. The influence is clear, with many Minecraft-like mechanics appearing. In Stardew Valley, you leave town to start a quiet life on the land owned by your grandfather. From there, you harvest crops, fish, explore less palatable places at night, and develop AI relationships in town.
Stardew Valley can easily consume hundreds of hours of your life. The 16-bit visuals, great dialogue and immersive progression system make Pelican Town a tempting place to spend your time every day, being one of the best indie games. If you want a relaxing and rewarding simulation game experience, look no further than Stardew Valley is the right choice.
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine was unfortunately a commercial failure, according to the developers. That doesn't mean you shouldn't play, though. In fact, if you want a bold adventure with a narrative focus, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is one of the best in recent history, ranking among the best indie games.
Set during the Great Depression, you just walk around and listen to people tell their life stories. Though it may sound boring, it turns out to be a fascinating snapshot in the minds of people across America during this tumultuous period in history.
Some gameplay elements exist beyond talking, though. You can earn money to buy food and travel. It's an experimental game, as there isn't much gameplay here. If you want something a little different with words that will stick with you after the credits, you should give it a try.
FTL: Faster Than Light by Subset Games is one of the best real-time strategy games of all time. Seriously, this is good, deserving to be among the best indie games. In this rudimentary but beautiful graphics top-down experience, you control a spaceship that needs to carry information through space to its allies. The problem is, enemies are chasing you.
When in combat, it plays like a standard RTS, but you can pause combat to think about your next moves. Meanwhile, you also need to worry about updates and bringing new crew members on board. FTL, like Subset's Into the Breach, has a rogue-like element. If your ship is destroyed or everyone is killed, the game starts again. Fortunately, each area in FTL is randomly generated, so each trip feels like a new game.
Frostpunk, a hybrid survival/simulation management game, is extremely dark, deserving to be among the best indie games. But that's not too surprising considering the studio behind him was responsible for This War of Mine. Set in an alternate 1886, a volcanic winter killed millions and decimated food sources.
You play as the leader of a city with the task of keeping people alive. Frostpunk has four different scenarios, each of which presents new challenges. What's interesting about Frostpunk is that it goes beyond standard "management simulation" territory. The AI over which you reign supreme may be disappointed if you make the wrong decisions. Every time you play in a scenario, you will face new challenges such as extremely variable weather and political conflicts that make your task an uphill battle all the time.
The Stanley Parable is a clever and bizarre game. A walking simulator, you play as Stanley, who works in an office building basically like a cog in a machine. He looks at a computer screen and presses buttons when prompted. That's it. What life. But when the screen goes dark, Stanley realizes that his building is empty.
Throughout The Stanley Parable, the narrator breaks the fourth wall and talks to you, the player. Where Stanley's story ends is largely up to you, with six different endings depending on your choices. By the time you finish The Stanley Parable, however, you'll begin to question how much choice you really had.
The Stanley Parable does a wonderful job of commenting on free will, but it's also a unique and wonderful experience that we highly recommend, living up to being one of the best indie games.
Developed by Davey Wreden, the developer behind The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide is even more peculiar, deserving to be among the best indie games. In The Beginner's Guide, Wreden wants to show fragments of games created by someone he calls Coda. We recommend playing The Stanley Parable first, but The Beginner's Guide is arguably even more worthy of discussion.
Admittedly, it's a short experience. But Wreden takes you on an exciting journey through a friendship that has fallen apart. But nothing is as it seems: there are several theories about what The Beginner's Guide is trying to say. And it has the same sinister aura as the Parable Stanely. But we'll let you interpret for yourself, no spoilers.
An old school point-and-click adventure, Unavowed takes place in a fictional New York City. The crazy backstory is an innovative concept, however. It starts with your character, who was possessed by a demon the year before. The game starts when this demon leaves your character. After the demon is gone, you join the group of the same name. Your goal: Find explanations for paranormal activities.
When you choose your character, you choose between a man or a woman before deciding on one of three careers: Bartender, Cop or Actor. Each career option has its unique backstory and leads to different choices throughout the game.
The graphics created for Unavowed are reminiscent of classic adventure games, but the game also contains little touches that make it look new at the same time. A choice-based system kicks in throughout each investigation, allowing you to control the storyline.
Unavowed's clever writing and complete character alignment prove that point-and-click adventure games can still provide fascinating experiences, deserving to be among the best indie games.
It's worth taking a look at any of the best indie games on our list, especially for those who prefer something fresh and fresh to try out on PCs. Each of these games has unique and creative stories that will keep you in awe of gaming possibilities .

JENNY HOLZER "YOU ARE MY OWN" PHOTO, 1999
"You Are My Own" is arguably the key image from Holzer's Italian projections - as it is the title of the poem/text.
In September 1996, over a three-day period, Jenny Holzer realized one of her first legendary public "projections" occurring in Florence, Italy on the Arno Riverbank.
In the succeeding years the poem/text of "You Are My Own" has been projected/exhibited in public spaces in over 40 countries.
This work is one of nine images of this seminal and iconic projection that comprises the "Xenon" portfolio.
Holzer has an important exhibition history in Italy: In 1990 Holzer was the first woman to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale.
That year she won the Leone D'Oro - the event's top honor.
During her career, while Holzer has created numerous memorable works, She has produced very few that are domestically proportioned.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an affordable work by one of the most distinctive artists of the 20th century.

Nike Brings Back The 1971 Football Boot
Nike began its football (soccer) journey back in 1971 with the release of "The Nike" football boot, the first shoe to bear the Swoosh. It cost $16.95, didn't hold up well in cold and wet weather and soon fell by the wayside as Nike focused on running, tennis and basketball footwear. But it was a start.
Over decades, Nike learned from athletes, research and testing how to create football products that defy expectations and help players around the world raise their game. These are the pivotal moments in Nike's history that helped shape a new era of brilliant football.
For 2021, "The Nike" football boot returns celebrating the tradition of sports by reviving the classic spikes that revolutionized the world of football.
Check out the official photos below, and look for The Nike 1971 football boot to release on December 6th at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $200 USD.

Study: Birth Control Pills Dramatically Shrink a Vital Brain Region in Women
Pomidor Quixote December 6, 2019
Pomidor Quixote
"lol I can't read this."
One important consequence of our overall lack of deep understanding of animal bodies is that most drugs can't really have an isolated, single effect on them that affects just one thing while leaving everything else alone.
There are known side effects and then there are unknown side effects.
This study suggests that birth control pills shrink a critical region in women's brains.
Study Finds:
It's estimated that nearly six million women used a form of oral contraception between 2015-2017 in the United States. But there may be bad news for birth control users. A disconcerting new study, that only recently became possible due to advancements in MRI technology, finds that birth control pills may actually impact the size or even shrink a portion of women's brains.
According to the study, women who take birth control pills have significantly smaller hypothalamus volume. The hypothalamus is among the most important areas of the brain, and has a hand in nearly everything one does on a day-to-day basis. This includes appetite, sex drive, overall mood, body temperature, sleep patterns, and heart rate. Situated at the base of the brain above the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus also produces essential hormones.
"There is a lack of research on the effects of oral contraceptives on this small but essential part of the living human brain," says Michael L. Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., FACR, professor of radiology at the Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and medical director of MRI Services at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, in a release. "We validated methods for assessing the volume of the hypothalamus and confirm, for the first time, that current oral contraceptive pill usage is associated with smaller hypothalamic volume."
"We found a dramatic difference in the size of the brain structures between women who were taking oral contraceptives and those who were not," Dr. Lipton adds. "This initial study shows a strong association and should motivate further investigation into the effects of oral contraceptives on brain structure and their potential impact on brain function."
To be clear, Dr. Lipton and his team characterized their study as "preliminary," and stress the need for further research into the matter. That being said, it was also noted that smaller hypothalamic volume was found to be associated with increased feelings of anger, and exhibited a strong correlation with depression.
It's important to mention, though, that the study found no evidence of a significant correlation between hypothalamic volume and cognitive performance.
The important thing here is that their cognitive performance isn't likely to be affected by their pill-induced brain shrinkage, because we need women to be doing work stuff in some office, not to be pleasant and feminine – lest they end up pregnant and with a lovely family.
"Oppressed"
We just can't afford women not to be working jobs.
This is an all-hands-on-deck type of situation where we're even bringing in foreigners to work our jobs because otherwise The Economy would suffer.
I mean, yeah, too bad that women can't really be having kids while pleasing The Economy, but that's not that big of a deal because thanks to all people being perfectly equal, we can just replace ourselves with any humanoid-looking ape that can more or less manage to learn our language.
It's known that women are unhappier than ever despite being more empowered than ever.
If birth control pills may be reducing hypothalamic volume, and smaller hypothalamic volume was found to be associated with depression and increased feelings of anger, then it's safe to say that birth control pills are an important piece of the unhappiness puzzle.
"Hey, did you see that study that found that women taking birth control pills suffer from dramatic brain shrinkage and are more likely to be depressed?"

3. Connaught Gardens during the war
Connaught Gardens are located in an important strategic location, looking out to sea and along the coastline for some distance. During World War II, they played an important role defending the south coast. They were closed to the public and two 138mm swivel guns, taken from the French battleship 'Paris' were installed looking out to sea (although a lack of shells meant they were only fired a few times). The clock tower was fitted with a searchlight and another gun was placed in the Sunken Garden for practice. A concrete emplacement was built near the main entrance to the gardens and can still be seen today.
Even in the 19th century, Peak Hill was used to defend against attack from the sea. Guns and a stone ammunition store were a permanent feature of the slope.

Under the hood: 4 stealthy Seattle startups reveal their work
by Quinten Dol
When a company decides to come out of stealth mode, it usually means they have an amazing piece of technology to show off. So when we hear of a Seattle startup revealing its mission and plan to achieve it to the wider world, we sit up and take notice. A handful of particularly impressive startups have stepped out of the shadows already in 2019, so we decided to shine a light on who they are, what they're working on and why.
photo via first mode
First Mode
What were they hiding? A design, engineering and complex system development service that uses the "tools of deep space exploration" to tackle industrial challenges "on and off the planet."
Details: Originally founded as Synchronous early last year, First Mode boasts an impressive lineup of scientists, engineers and strategists with experience from Spaceflight Industries, Boeing, Intel, asteroid mining startup Planetary Resources and NASA's Mars Exploration and Rover programs. Leveraging this impressive team, the company says it can solve complex problems in everything from space exploration and robotics to data science and agriculture. The company claims to have successfully completed at least 40 projects with 10 different organizations, including missions in space, creating consumer product prototypes and electrifying industrial platforms.
A lot of what makes programs like Apollo or (the) Mars Rovers so impressive isn't the individual pieces of technology, but the coordination of hundreds of thousands of parts, people, companies and priorities."
Quotable quote: "The team at First Mode has always been fascinated with the types of problems that seem too big or too complex for any one group to tackle," President and Chief Engineer Chris Voorhees said in a statement. "A lot of what makes programs like Apollo or (NASA's Jet Propulsion Labs') Mars Rovers so impressive isn't the individual pieces of technology, but the coordination of hundreds of thousands of parts, people, companies and priorities. The methods used for solving these types of problems are just as relevant to applications here on Earth, where the combination of safety criticality, required function, constraint, and environment can create what initially appears to be an intractable problem. We help our clients methodically break it down into a set of smaller, connected developments that can be put together to realize the larger whole."

Koverse
What were they hiding? AI technology that sifts through huge and diverse datasets to create new products and services for enterprise clients.
Details: While it wasn't necessarily trying to hide its technology, Koverse president and CEO Jon Matsuo said clients usually ask the company to keep quiet the work they do. However, Koverse got a rare opportunity to strut its stuff in January, unveiling a big data platform designed to help audit giant PwC assess global supply chains for risk. The technology, called "Know Your Vendor," identifies anything from minor oversights to major human rights abuses. Koverse co-founders Aaron Cordova and Paul Brown originally worked together at the National Security Agency, where they built that organization's first big data platform, and have incorporated that technology into Koverse's services.
We're generally helping these organizations with something that's fundamentally ingrained in their service."
Quotable quote: "Our customers don't want us talking about what we're doing with them, and so they put the clamps on us," Matsuo said in an interview with Built In Seattle. "We're really helping them with strategic use cases; it's not operational stuff where you're saving 10 percent here or there. We're generally helping these organizations with something that's fundamentally ingrained in their service — a new product or service, or something that really gives them a competitive edge."

Cyemptive
What were they hiding? A cybersecurity product suite that protects endpoints, perimeter firewalls that can perform automatic troubleshooting, "self-healing" recovery and more.
Details: Cyemptive did its big reveal last month, pulling the curtain on its technology, team and a $3.5 million Series A round of financing — though it declined to reveal the identity of its investors. The company's leadership features cybersecurity experts from Hitcachi, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and the NSA. If that wasn't impressive enough, the company also revealed that it had beaten out 89 competitors to win a competition held by the Department of Homeland Security's Border Security Technology Consortium, where security-minded startups pitched services and products with a panel of cyber experts.
We're approaching the problem from a completely different perspective than others in the market."
Quotable quote: "Emerging threats tied to cybersecurity stand to affect business and government operations dramatically in the near future," Founder and CEO Rob Pike said in a statement. "We're approaching the problem from a completely different perspective than others in the market, with a focus on ensuring networks and files remain in a good known state at all times. Instead of relying solely on looking for known threats or leveraging machine learning to try to find unwanted activity, we disallow actions that would corrupt a system or encrypt a file in the first place."

Proprio Vision
What were they hiding?: A light field capture and rendering system which allows doctors to view and navigate real-time 3D video projections of a living person's anatomy.
Details: Proprio Vision's proprietary technology uses networked camera arrays, depth-sensing technology and computer graphics processing to produce a virtual representation of the human body — say, the circulatory or skeletal system — for use by physicians. The goal is to replace microscopes, loupes, screens and other traditional surgery visualization tools with technology that leverages augmented and virtual reality, machine learning and computer vision. As it revealed its technology, the company also announced that it had raised $7 million in funding. CEO Gabriel Jones previously evaluated emerging technologies for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, while Chief Medical Officer Samuel Browd is a pediatric neurosurgeon at Seattle Children's Hospital, as well as a professor of neurological surgery at UW who has worked with a number of startups throughout his career — a notable example of which is football helmet designer VICIS.
It's hard to wrap your head around. But it means that where you are, or were, when something was captured no longer matters."
Quotable quote: "Light field gives us immersive, more accurate, much richer data about the world around us than any other system could," Jones told Geekwire. "It's hard to wrap your head around. But it means that where you are, or were, when something was captured no longer matters."

Omo-Agege Speaks On Moves To Remove Oshiomhole As APC Chairman
Senator Ovie Omo-Agege
The Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has affirmed that the seat of Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is non-negotiable.
Omo-Agege made the declaration while dismissing recent moves by some members of the party to remove Oshiomhole.
Speaking in Abuja, the Deputy Senate President commended Oshiomhole for APC's victory in Bayelsa and Kogi States.
He said the victory was not a "tea party to remove the candidate of a sitting governor".
Omo-Agege added: "It was a difficult contest but we all came together to make history and we won Bayelsa State.
"I want to also speak on the recent moves by some persons to remove the National Chairman, let me state that the position of the National Chairman is a very key position zoned to the South-South.
"It is our position and I have always maintained that it is we who will decide that we don't want our chairman and not outsiders.
"Without prejudice to the decision taken at NEC setting up a National Reconciliation Committee to be headed by leaders nominated by the President, I want to make it clear that we have our national chairman and we must stand by him.
"We are pushing for reconciliation but his seat is not negotiable. It will be very, very absurd for us to go to the South West and say we don't want the Vice President or go to the North West and say we don't want the President or go to the North East and say we don't want the Senate President.
"So, we must dwell on those things that unite us rather than those things that divide us."

Q: How do I remove certain variables using select_if In the dataset three of the variables are of class list. Remove the list variables using the dplyr function select_if(), and save the resulting data set as starwars_. How do I do this?

A: We may use where to find the list columns (is.list) and either negate or use -
library(dplyr)
df1 %>%
    select(-where(is.list))

-output

March for Babies, formerly known as WalkAmerica, is a charitable walking event sponsored by the March of Dimes. It began in 1970 as the first charitable walking event in the United States. The name was changed after the 2007 event.

March for Babies is held yearly in 1,100 communities across the nation.  By 2013, over 7 million people, including more than 20,000 company and family teams as well as national sponsors, were expected to participate. The event has raised more than $2 billion since 1970.

According to the March of Dimes, proceeds help fund research to prevent premature births, birth defects and infant mortality.  Every year, more than half a million babies are born prematurely and more than 120,000 are born with serious birth defects in the United States. Seventy-six cents of every dollar raised in March for Babies is spent on research and programs to help prevent these issues.

Actually the very first March of Dimes walk a thon in the USA was held February 1969 in York, Pa with one person ( a radio personality with WSBA radio, Bob Woody) and raised over $26,000.

History
The very first March of Dimes walkathon occurred in San Antonio, Texas, on October 7, 1970, followed by similar walks in Ohio at Columbus on November 14 and Mentor (Lake County) on November 15. The weather conditions at the Columbus walkathon were depicted as "absolutely miserable [with] rain, cold and bone chilling winds, which did not abate at all during the walking period." Yet the 500 walkers at Columbus pledged $64,687 to the March of Dimes, engendering a fund-raising methodology that quickly became national in scope and that perpetuated the enthusiasm of volunteers on which the foundation built its reputation. By 1974, 95% of March of Dimes chapters participated in the event, accounting for more than $14 million in revenue. Successful walkers received the Order of the Battered Boot certificate for their participation, and the foundation created a film, The Big Walk (1973), to document and promote the event.

In 1979, the March of Dimes incorporated TeamWalk, inviting participation by teams of employees from other corporations, into the March for Babies strategy. On April 26, 1981, the foundation held the first walk occurring nationally on the same day billed as WalkAmerica and has since kept the tradition of holding the event on the last weekend in April.  In 1991, Lee Iacocca, Chairman of the Chrysler Corporation, was the Honorary National March for Babies chairman.  With increasing sophistication in promotion and marketing, each campaign was given a theme (and slogan) that merged fund-raising and mission objectives. Experience WalkAmerica was the campaign in 1991, followed by Walk for Healthier Babies (1993), Walk for Someone You Love (1995), and Be A Hero for the Tiniest Babies (2002) among others. March for Babies advertising and promotional literature thus became standardized around mission-related themes of perinatal health.

In 1989, Tony Choppa became National Director of March for Babies and has further consolidated the foundation's fund-raising objectives on a national basis through central planning and chapter support. National corporate sponsors have included Lipton, Kellogg, K-Mart, Cigna, and Canon. The event has spawned wrap-around events to enhance fund-raising opportunities and spin-off events such as WonderWalk and WalkMania.

Origin
The first person to walk for the March of Dimes was John Harrison Finger, a textile worker in High Point, North Carolina. In 1948, his daughter came home from school and asked for a donation for the polio fund. Finger replied that he did not have the money but that he would raise some. In what is thought to be the first walkathon in March of Dimes history, Finger walked 32 miles — round trip from High Point to Greensboro — and collected a total of $1,700 in a red wagon he pulled behind him. During his lifetime he walked more than 1,000 miles and raised $15,832 to benefit the charity. The March of Dimes named Finger "Mr. WalkAmerica" in 1983.

Nitish Bharti obtain a lot of queries concerning this art form as well as individuals intend to find out ways to do it. Yet his schedule is chaotic.
Nitish Bharti
He has programs three to four times a week and he travel constantly on job. Sand art has actually taken him to the U.K., U.S., Europe, Asian nations … claims Nitish, who currently has a 15-member group working with him. Together, they conceptualise and also create efficiencies.
Sand Art by Nitish Bharti
Individuals think that sand art is simple, but when you're doing an online act, you can't do touch-ups, says Nitish. For a person who draws such elaborate images, Nitish has never been trained in art. As a seven-year-old, among his institution educators had recommended to his moms and dads that he be sent to art course. The cost was Rs. 500 and his household couldn't afford it. The self-taught artist wanted to participate in courses at Sir JJ School of Art or Rachana Sansad in Mumbai, however that really did not fairly happen. Yet, no matter, he claims. He doesn't requires classes any more he stated with a positive smile. 🙂
Life educating us that we can become exactly what we wish to with uniformity and inspiration toward our dreams. Share this post if you think you have been empowered!
The sand Nitish makes use of is a mix from the beaches of Puri and also Tarkarli. These beaches have best beige sand and that shows well on screen when Nitish does programs. His team procures the sand as well as improves it. Nitish constantly maintains 100 kg of sand all set.

The Safer-at-Home phase includes caps on the total number of people that can be in any one place at a time. During this phase, we are still building the public health surge capacity to investigate and contain outbreaks. The caps on the number of people are primarily about keeping exposures limited to smaller numbers, and not the size of a facility. Once we have public health and health care systems scaled, we can expand to a greater degree of reopening. The Protect Our Neighbors phase makes greater expansion available to qualified communities.
During the next teen years, Bishop and Willard regularly camped on the land and began planning a design for a family cabin. In 1967, Bishop married Phoebe and began building a cabin for them in 1969.

Ihlara Canyon Valley
HomeCappadocia Balloon Tours – Blog – Travel Cappadocia – Ihlara Canyon Valley
The Melendiz River has been crossing the docile surface of the Ihlara Valley for centuries, opening a canyon that reaches up to 150 meters deep in some areas. A haven of peace that did not go unnoticed by the first Christians who made this ecosystem their own home. The mixture of the wonders of nature with the work of human hands makes the Ihlara canyon become a very special enclave within the landscapes of Cappadocia.
This canyon, delimited by the towns of Ihlara and Selime, winds for 16 kilometers through the path left behind by the old Melendiz river. Ihlara Canyon is located 40 kilometers southeast of the town of Askaray and is one of the most splendid natural landscapes in Cappadocia. An environment brimming with life that invites tranquility and tranquility. The strategic location of this valley, together with the wealth and diversity of plant and animal species that populate it, make it an ideal place to hide and develop a discreet life. The Ihlara Valley was the refuge of a large Christian community that took advantage of the discretion and tranquility of the valley to dedicate themselves to meditation. Throughout the valley, hundreds of houses and churches can be counted. An important figure for a valley just 16 kilometers long. Going into the Ihlara canyon is a relaxing exercise. The light rocking of the trees and the melody of the water flowing through the stream produce a calming effect. It is understandable that it was the place chosen by the anchorites to indulge in a life of meditation.
Ihlara Canyon History The explanation of this canyon begins in the periods of greatest volcanic activity, when the giant cones of fire expelled lava and pyroclastic materials, which flooded the surface of Cappadocia. The passing of the centuries and the abrupt tectonic movements tore the earth's crust in this region of Anatolia, exposing hot springs that began to cover the surface of the valley. All the ingredients that we have mentioned changed the morphology of this region, however the true person in charge of the aspect of the canyon is the Melendiz river, that formerly was known like Potamus Kapadukus, that is to say river of Cappadocia. The current of water eroded the volcanic surface of the valley to give it its current appearance.
Ihlara Canyon, a mystical refuge
The possibilities of this canyon are almost endless, from trekking routes running parallel to the stream to visiting the dozens of churches that are hidden in the canyon walls. Any activity that takes place in this fascinating canyon will be to the liking of the travelers. Apart from the natural beauty, the footprints that the first Christians left in this valley are important. Various religious orders reflected in Ihlara their way of understanding spirituality, protected by the natural fortress of the mountains.The monks excavated churches and houses in the rock that were later decorated with colorful frescoes. The passing of the years has determined the conservation status of the frescoes, deteriorating them, but there are still many examples of this rock art that can be seen in the Ihlara valley. There are more than 100 temples along the length and breadth of the canyon.Among the most important rock churches in this valley are the temples of Egritas, Kökar, Pürenli Seki, Agaçalti, Sümbüllü, Yilanli, Karagedik, Kirk, Bahattin, Direkli and Ala. All of them scattered throughout the canyon with such particular characteristics that they deserve a separate mention.

Pmd is een afkorting voor het afval van plastic verpakkingen, metalen verpakkingen en drankkartons (Vlaanderen) of plastic verpakkingen, metalen verpakkingen en drinkpakken (Nederland). Het verpakkingsafval wordt samen ingezameld en na sortering gerecycleerd. De term is in Vlaanderen gangbaar en is ook in Nederland in zwang geraakt.

België

Geschiedenis
De eerste gescheiden inzamelingen van pmd-afval gingen van start in België in 1994 bij de oprichting van het bedrijf Fost Plus toen de eerste PMD-zakken werden uitgedeeld.

Sinds 1 juli 2013 zijn alle bedrijven in het Vlaams Gewest verplicht pmd-afval te sorteren. Sinds 2 februari 2014 is het sorteren van pmd-afval ook verplicht voor bedrijven in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest. In Wallonië kwam de selectieve ophaling via onder meer de PMD-zak vanaf 2000 op gang, na invoering door het regeringsbesluit Horizon 2010 van 15 januari 1998,  vervangen door het besluit van 22 maart 2018 met het Plan Wallon Déchets Ressources (PWD-R).

Sorteerregels
Wat is toegelaten in de pmd-zak valt onder een van de drie letters:
 P: lege plastic verpakkingen zoals plastic flessen en flacons van onder andere mineraalwater, melk, frisdrank, bad- en doucheproducten, wasmiddelen, schoonmaakmiddelen, gedestilleerd water, ... maar ook plastic vlootjes, schaaltjes, bakjes, folies, ...
 M: lege metalen verpakkingen zoals drankblikjes, conservenblikken, dozen en bussen; maar ook metalen deksels en doppen van bokalen of flessen, metalen schaaltjes en bakjes en lege spuitbussen. Sommige spuitbussen zijn evenwel geen PMD maar Klein Gevaarlijk Afval (KGA), zoals spuitbussen butaangas.
 D: lege drankkartons van onder andere lege fruitsappenverpakking, melk, soep, ...

Plastic verpakkingen en voorwerpen zoals yoghurtpotjes, botervlootjes, tubes, plastic zakken, folies, ... waren initieel niet toegelaten in de pmd-zak. Voor 2019 stond de P in PMD voor plastic flessen en flacons. Met de invoering van de nieuwe blauwe zak kwam hier verandering in. Harde plastics die geen verpakkingsafval zijn, zoals plastic speelgoed, worden soms ook via het containerpark ingezameld. Verder zijn ook zaken als aluminiumfolie en piepschuim niet toegelaten bij het pmd-afval, net als (lege) verpakkingen van gevaarlijke producten. Deze laatsten horen bij het klein gevaarlijk afval. Verpakkingen in de pmd mogen bovendien een volume hebben van maximaal 8 liter.

Inzameling
Pmd wordt meestal in een blauwe pmd-vuilniszak huis-aan-huis ingezameld. De zakken zijn doorzichtig, zodat de ophalers kunnen zien of ze wel degelijk alleen pmd-afval bevatten. Als dat niet zo is, wordt de pmd-zak niet meegenomen en krijgt die een rode weigeringssticker. Pmd kan ook in minicontainers of in ondergrondse containers worden ingezameld. Verder wordt pmd in het containerpark aanvaard. De zakken worden naar een afvalsorteercentrum gebracht, waar de verschillende fracties gescheiden worden om erna te worden gerecycleerd.

Recyclage
De afvalscheiding vindt plaats in sorteercentra, meestal door een combinatie van automatische en handmatige scheidingstechnieken. Het pmd-afval wordt eerst op een lopende band geplaatst. De pmd-zakken worden opengescheurd zodat de inhoud vrijkomt. Daarna gaat het afval door een draaiende trommel om te kleine voorwerpen eruit te halen. De opengescheurde pmd-zakken worden ook uit de afvalstroom gescheiden.
 Plastic flessen en flacons worden automatisch of handmatig uitgesorteerd. De plastic flessen en flacons worden gewassen en vermalen tot schilfers of verwerkt tot korrels. Deze schilfers en korrels kunnen worden gesmolten en omgevormd tot nieuwe producten. Zo worden petflessen vooral hergebruikt in de textielindustrie of gerecycleerd tot nieuwe flessen, terwijl HDPE-verpakkingen vaak gerecycleerd worden tot harde plastic voorwerpen zoals opbergbakken, rekken en leidingbuizen.
 Metalen verpakkingen worden automatisch uitgesorteerd met machines. Zo worden stalen verpakkingen uit de afvalstroom gescheiden met elektromagneten terwijl aluminium wordt gescheiden met een wervelstroomscheider. Deze geven het aluminium een magnetische lading zodanig dat het afgestoten wordt als het in een magnetisch veld terechtkomt. Het gescheiden staal en aluminium wordt dan vermalen en gezuiverd tot metaalschroot dat in een oven kan worden gesmolten. Het staalschroot gaat naar de staalindustrie waar het ofwel in een verhouding van ongeveer 40% aan ijzer wordt toegevoegd in een hoogoven, ofwel wordt gesmolten in een vlamboogoven zonder het aan ijzer toe te moeten voegen. Het aluminiumschroot wordt gesmolten door aluminiumsmelterijen. De gesmolten metalen kunnen opnieuw in vormen worden gegoten en tot nieuwe metalen producten worden verwerkt.
 Drankkartons worden automatisch of handmatig uitgesorteerd. Drankkartons bestaan voor ongeveer 75% uit karton, 21% uit plastic (polyetheen) en 4% uit aluminium; deze materialen worden voor de recyclage van elkaar gescheiden. Eerst worden de drankkartons in water ondergedompeld zodat de kartonvezels van de aluminium- en plasticlagen worden losgeweekt. Deze vezels worden daarna verder gerecycleerd zoals papier-kartonafval. Het resterende aluminium-plasticmengsel wordt ofwel verbrand met energiewinning, ofwel verder gesorteerd, waarbij het aluminium gerecycleerd wordt en het plastic ofwel gerecycleerd ofwel verbrand wordt met energiewinning.
Op het einde van elke gescheiden materiaalstroom staat vaak nog iemand die eventueel fout gesorteerde voorwerpen eruit haalt. Na scheiding is er naast de pmd-zakken en de verschillende pmd-afvalstromen ook nog een niet-recycleerbaar residu over.

Statiegeld
In het voorjaar van 2014 kwam vanuit de Waalse en Vlaamse overheid het idee statiegeld in te voeren op drankflesjes en -blikjes om zwerfvuil tegen te gaan. Verschillende sectorverenigingen, waaronder Comeos, FEVIA, VIWF en de Belgische Brouwers, verwierpen het idee echter. Zij waren van mening dat statiegeld het probleem van zwerfvuil niet zou oplossen, er geen zekerheid was dat een statiegeldsysteem beter zou werken dan de inzameling via de pmd-vuilniszakken en een statiegeldsysteem grote meerkosten van 150 tot 310 miljoen euro zou creëren. Ook wezen ze op praktische problemen zoals wanneer de drie gewesten een verschillend model zouden hanteren. De sectorverenigingen stelden in de plaats daarvan dat er eerder nood was aan sensibilisering, een verhoogde pakkans en strengere straffen. Moest er toch een statiegeldsysteem komen, stelden zij dat hetzelfde systeem zou moeten gelden voor heel het land. Het Neutraal Syndicaat voor Zelfstandigen (NSZ) meende dat een statiegeldsysteem niet haalbaar zou zijn voor kleinere buurtwinkels omdat het van hen te veel tijd en geld zou vragen en deze zaken er niet op uitgerust zouden zijn. Het NSZ meende ook dat consumenten geen vragende partij waren en liever de pmd-zakken bleven gebruiken. Verder was Fost Plus ook geen voorstander.

Toenmalig Vlaams minister van Leefmilieu Joke Schauvliege liet in 2015 door de Openbare Vlaamse Afvalstoffenmaatschappij (OVAM) onderzoeken welk statiegeldsysteem het beste zou werken en wat de impact ervan zou zijn. Voor de studie werd uitgegaan van enkele scenario's die verschilden qua aantal inzamelpunten en welke verpakkingen in het systeem zouden opgenomen worden. Er werd in een verdere fase ook een blauwdruk uitgewerkt voor het invoeren van statiegeld volgens een voorkeursscenario. Het voorkeursscenario betrof een systeem met een statiegeld van 0,25 euro op alle eenmalige drankverpakkingen uit kunststof en metaal (blikjes) ongeacht de inhoud of het volume. De inzameling zou in dat systeem verplicht zijn voor grote en middelgrote distributiepunten, terwijl andere inzamelpunten op vrijwillige basis georganiseerd zouden kunnen worden. Tevens onderzocht de OVAM ook de juridische haalbaarheid van het invoeren van een statiegeldsysteem in Vlaanderen. In 2018 werd beslist het statiegeld niet in te voeren, met een herevaluatie in 2023 in functie van de cijfers op dat moment.

Eind september 2020 werd in het regeerakkoord van de federale regering opgenomen dat er onderzocht wordt of er statiegeld kan worden ingevoerd op enkele verpakkingen. Het federaal regeerakkoord bepaalt: "In overleg met de deelstaten en de betrokken sector wordt onderzocht of het incorporeren van een statiegeldregeling in de verpakkingsheffing wenselijk is."

Het Belgische federale regeerakkoord sluit zo aan op de statiegeldplannen die de Waalse en de Brusselse regering in 2019 opnamen in hun respectievelijke regeerakkoorden. De Europese Single Use Plastic richtlijn 2019/904 (SUP-richtlijn) bepaalt dat alle plastic flessen minstens 25% gerecycleerd plastic moeten bevatten in 2025 (op het einde van de federale legislatuur dus). De lidstaten moeten 90% van de plastic flessen gescheiden inzamelen tegen 2029. Europees Commissaris Frans Timmermans, die verantwoordelijk is voor de SUP-richtlijn, raadt Europese lidstaten dan ook aan om statiegeld in te voeren omdat het bewezen is als middel om het recyclagepercentage naar de gevraagde hoogtes te brengen.

P+MD
Begin 2016 startte Fost Plus in samenwerking met de Vlaamse overheid, de gemeenten Aalter, Frameries, Hannut, Marchin, Wervik & Waregem en de afvalintercommunales die deze gemeenten bedienden een proefproject om meer soorten plastic dan enkel flessen en flacons toe te laten in de pmd-zak; met name soepele plastic zoals folies en zakken en harde plastic zoals potjes en bakjes. Dit met als doel de sorteerregels voor pmd-afval te vereenvoudigen om zo meer materialen te kunnen recupereren, grondstoffen te sparen en de hoeveelheid restafval te verminderen. Dit proefproject betrof daarmee ongeveer 100 000 inwoners. In de desbetreffende gemeenten werd de blauwe pmd-vuilniszak vervangen door een paarse P+MD-zak (in Wallonië "sac P+MC" genoemd). In de gemeenten Marchin & Wervik mocht naast het gewone pmd-afval ook harde plastic in deze zak en in de gemeenten Aalter & Frameries mocht zowel harde als soepele plastic ook in deze zak. In de gemeenten Hannut & Waregem mocht harde plastic in de paarse zak en werden er naast de paarse P+MD-zakken ook transparante zakken verdeeld om de soepele plastic apart in te verzamelen.

De verschillende ophaalmethodes werden geëvalueerd op de samenstelling & kwaliteit van het opgehaalde afval, de mogelijkheden tot recyclage en de economische & ecologische impact. Ook leverde het proefproject informatie op over de participatiegraad & kennis van de nieuwe sorteerregels van de bevolking. De gewonnen kennis uit het proefproject zou gebruikt worden om een van de nieuwe ophaalmethodes uit te breiden naar heel België. Tegen 2018 verwachtte Fost Plus concrete plannen klaar te hebben. Uit een eerste analyse van het P+MD-project in Wervik bleek dat voor een gemiddeld gezin van vier personen er 82 kg P+MD-afval per jaar zou kunnen opgehaald worden, wat 16 kg meer is dan de 66 kg pmd-afval die jaarlijks bij een doorsnee gezin van vier personen werd opgehaald in Vlaanderen. De paars/blauwe P+MD-zak wordt sinds 2019 gefaseerd ingevoerd en is sinds 1 april 2021 in gans Vlaanderen in voege.

Nederland
In Nederland wordt pmd-afval sinds 2015 ingezameld.
Naast de pmd-zakken, zijn er ook ondergrondse pmd-containers voor flatbewoners, pmd-minicontainers van 140 of 240 liter met oranje deksel voor huisbewoners, en in sommige gemeentes zoals Tilburg gebruiken huisbewoners een duo-container met een oranje/blauwe deksel (pmd en papier).
