The company also said it has filed an additional initial electric incident report with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) continues to make progress in restoring power to customers impacted by the Camp Fire in Butte County. The company also said it has filed an additional initial electric incident report with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
The information provided in the report is preliminary, and there has been no determination on the cause of the Camp Fire. Cal Fire is the lead agency investigating the origin of the fire and PG&E continues to provide its full cooperation. A copy of the EIR can be found here.
Based on first-responder maps of the fire zones, there were approximately 16,000 PG&E customers who remained without power as of Friday. As access is granted to additional fire-impacted areas, PG&E crews will continue to assess its infrastructure for damage and work toward safely restoring as many customers as possible.
"Our hearts are with all those who have been impacted by this devastating fire. Local communities have been hit hard, and our employees are focused on supporting first responders and returning gas and electric service when and where we can," said Geisha Williams, PG&E Corporation's CEO and president.
PG&E has been able to assess the damage to its entire electrical system in Paradise and Magalia. The company has not yet gained access to Pulga and Concow. Once PG&E crews gain access, it will take about 24 hours to perform damage assessments.
Gas service remains off for about 12,000 customers in and around the City of Paradise. PG&E has been able to perform damage assessments on its entire gas system in Paradise. PG&E does not provide gas service in Pulga, Concow and Magalia.
PG&E's Emergency Operations Center remains engaged, with crews responding to the Camp Fire in coordination with local agencies and first responders and helping to clear roadways. There are approximately 900 workers already on-site, and the base camp will be able to support many more depending on restoration and rebuilding timelines.
In many cases, immediate restoration in the fire-impacted areas may not be possible. In those instances, PG&E is looking at a longer term rebuild of the system.
PG&E will provide additional updates on its response and restoration efforts as conditions change.

This week we have green (or 'wet') garlic. These are the early or immature bulbs which, due to their young age, are far less potent than their mature version. They can be eaten raw or cooked and are a cinch to prepare - you don't even need to peel as their skins are really tender. They can go straight into salads (lovely for the warm weather we are having!) and you can also use them as you would other members of the allium family (spring onions, leeks or garlic). About the healthy properties of this ever present group of vegetables, check this explanation by Dr Fuhrman.
Would you like to see Ripple Farm?
Angel Greens, together with members of Kentish Town Vegbox, are visiting Ripple Farm this Saturday 20th May. Would you like to join us?
This is an awesome opportunity to meet one of our growers. We will see where and how our food is produced. The plan is to visit the farm for about an hour and a half (including a 20 min walk from Wye station. We'll then finish up with a pub lunch in Wye before heading home.

1000 Global Citizens Take The Lead To Transform Public Schools In Mumbai
Mumbai, 24 October 2016: Global Citizen India concluded its first offline action day on 22nd October. 1000 Young Global Citizens came together at 100 schools across the 24 wards from Churchgate to Dahisar in Mumbai to gather data on infrastructure in these schools. The aim of this offline action in association with the Green Batti Project was to mobilize young Indians that are committed to take action and lead the movement to transform the face of public schools in Mumbai.
Through this data collection activity, the participants gathered 'real-time' information that will help address these infrastructural insufficiencies in a tangible manner. The data can be applied to make concentrated efforts towards improvement of the state of infrastructure within the schools. Governments and corporate partners can be mobilized post identifying these gaps, to invest CSR funds towards these improvements, allowing students to learn more efficiently and teachers to instruct more effectively.
Each school had around 10 people that surveyed different parts of the school. The survey covered five categories – general school infrastructure, IT and computer facilities, classrooms, sanitation and drinking water facilities. During this offline action, nearly 400 sanitation facilities were surveyed and close to 800 classrooms were measured for their infrastructure which plays a key role in the provision of quality education to all.
With the conclusion of this offline action, 500 free tickets will be distributed to those who participated. Those who are completing the online action journey on quality education for all, are eligible to enter the draw after accumulating 25 points.
The inaugural Global Citizen Festival India will be held in Mumbai on 19 November 2016 and will feature artists, business and political leaders from across India and the world who are committed to the Global Citizen movement to eradicate extreme poverty. The Global Citizen Festival India will be headlined by Coldplay, JAY Z, Aamir Khan, Arjun Kapoor, A.R. Rahman, Arijit Singh, Amitabh Bachchan, Ayushmann Khurrana, Dia Mirza, Farhan Akhtar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Katrina Kaif, Malaika Arora Khan, Monali Thakur, Parineeti Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Sachin Tendulkar, Sakshi Malik, Shah Rukh Khan, Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Shraddha Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Vijender Singh. Eighty percent of the tickets to the festival will be given out to Global Citizens who earn them by taking action.

Though Jamie McCrimmon who featured in the preceding 'Helicon Prime' became one of the most enduring companions of early Doctor Who, it's hard to think of a supporting character who has had such a lasting impact on the franchise and the Doctor himself quite so much as Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart both during and after his time with UNIT. Aside from quickly becoming the perfect practical foil for the bold and righteous Third Doctor who often could not understand the Brigadier's very human responses to perceived alien threats, the Brigadier has continued to have an impact on future incarnations of the Doctor while even having his influence felt in the modern television series as well. In 'Old Soldiers' by James Swallow, Nicholas Courtney gloriously steps into the spotlight as he recalls his famed character's visit to Kreigskind and a frightful encounter with an enemy that could breach every defence.
There have already been several different attempts at framing devices utilised early in this range, but here Swallow simply presents an older Brigadier recounting a tale to an unnamed audience, interspersing his narrative with thoughtful and emotional asides about lost comrades and just what it takes to become an old soldier. This is a story that finally delves into the psyche of the man confronted with almost impossible situations and choices on a regular basis, and the material presented offers an incredible amount of development for a character who has been in the public consciousness for several decades. His father warned him that there were very few old, bold soldiers despite there being plenty of each type individually, and he has come to realise the truth of that situation all too frequently as his own career has progressed. He doesn't pretend to be the most educated man, but he can sense right and wrong as well as anyone, and the gentle melancholy that Courtney instills into his narration as his friend pleads for death with unspeakable dangers mounting around them provides a superb nuance to the mysterious affair in whole that works incredibly well.
At a time before Big Finish's UNIT series began to flesh out the inner workings of this furtive organisation, at least in the modern context, 'Old Soldiers' offered insight into just how expansive its efforts across the world have always been, here as different strongholds watch the skies for any abnormalities and experiment with leftovers from previous invasions. Thus, between fleeting moments of lucidity from Kolonel Heinrich Schrader who has initiated the Arc Light Protocol to completely destroy the facility, the revelation that an alien plant has amplified psychic abilities and brought out echoes of fallen soldiers from this facility's past fits in perfectly with the themes of the era while providing the Brigadier with a fitting comparison to his own actions taken against the Silurians.
Even though the Doctor doesn't feature much until the second half, Swallow's writing and Courtney's nuance perfectly recapture the theatricality and determinedness of the Third Doctor and hints at the complex but respectful relationship that exists between the Brigadier and him. He's a legend to those in UNIT's lower ranks, and his bold parachuting entrance is a spectacular visual that complements the dark and frightening atmosphere within the facility that is only further heightened as fallen UNIT figures join the spectres' ranks. Understandably, a brief story so focused on atmosphere, immense visuals, and the Brigadier's own relationships with others and himself does not leave too much room for supporting characters to fully develop, and the blusterous Konrad as the second-in-command does fall somewhat flat without proving himself to be worthy of others' respect. As a whole, though, 'Old Soldiers' is a powerful and gripping affair that offers a fascinating look into the inner workings of the man who has created such a lasting legacy.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases and leukocyte migration
Stephen G Ward
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) has been positioned at the heart of an evolutionarily conserved cellular compass and/or the biochemical mechanisms that facilitate cell migration. PI3K has therefore, become a popular drug target for inhibition of leukocyte migration in response to inflammatory chemoattractant mediators including members of the chemokine family. PI3K has also been implicated as a key regulator in novel mechanisms mediated by the T cell antigen receptor and the costimulatory molecule CD28 that guide the access and retention of specific T cells into antigenrich non-lymphoid tissue. The precise role of PI3K in the regulation of cell migration remains open to refinement, as numerous examples of PI3K-independent leukocyte migration (particularly with respect to T lymphocytes), have been described. The best studied leukocytes in terms of their migratory response and the role of PI3K are neutrophils and macrophages (that constitute the innate immune response), T lymphocytes (key elements of the adaptive immune response) and eosinophils (typical infiltrating cells at the sites of allergen-IgE reactions that constitute a link between innate and adaptive systems). Genetic and pharmacological approaches have been employed to assess the contribution of individual class 1 PI3K isoforms to migratory response of these leukocytes and will be considered in this article.

Patterning of nanopillars-based CdS/CdTe thin films for photonic applications
Ilango, Murugaiya Sridar and Ramasesha, Sheela K (2018) Patterning of nanopillars-based CdS/CdTe thin films for photonic applications. In: SURFACE ENGINEERING, 34 (12). pp. 907-914.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02670844.2017.1349033
In this study we propose a new design to place the contacts for both p-type and n-type semiconductors at the bottom of solar cell to increase photons entering the absorber layer. The fabricated device contains periodic nanopillars of similar to 243 nm radius and centre to centre pillar distance of similar to 550 nm. In addition to the fabrication, thin films of n-CdS and p-CdTe have been characterised for their material properties at different annealing temperatures in this study. The X-ray diffraction pattern for CdTe and CdS revealed that the growth is preferentially along the (111) plane with a cubic zinc blend and cubic structure, respectively. Optimum absorption of the solar spectrum for a single junction solar cell occurs with the optical band gap of 2.36 eV for CdS and 1.45 eV for CdTe. The significance of the work creates a new beginning for the fabrication of textured thin film photovoltaic cell.

The Lost City Of The Kalahari Has Been Puzzling Enthusiasts For Century
For more than a century rumours have abounded as to the existence of a massive ancient city, covered by the sands of the Kalahari desert. This historical mystery of exploration and archaeology is widely known as "The Lost City Of The Kalahari."
The Lost City Of The Kalahari:
What Farini Found In The Kalahari Desert:
In Search Of The Lost City Of Kalahari Desert:
Is This The Explanation Behind The Lost City Of The Kalahari?
Guillermo Farini, the pioneer of "Lost City Of The Kalahari," and the strange Kalahari Desert structures.
The history reports the existence of a ruined ancient city found in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. The rumours all started in the late 1800s from a Canadian explorer by the name of Guillermo Farini, who visited the Kalahari in 1895 in search of diamonds. He was one of the first westerners to cross the unexplored portion of the Kalahari.
Actually, the performer William Leonard Hunt changed his name to Signor Guillermo Antonio Farini and became famous for his tightrope walk across Niagara Falls where he was famous as "Farini the Great". He even invented a device to propel a human being through the air from a cannon, creating one of the first ever "human cannonball" shows. During his life, Farini was an inventor, explorer, writer, spy agent, painter and sculptor.
Ruins Of The Lost City Of Kalahari Portrait
On his return to Europe, Farini published a book detailing his experiences which included descriptions of unusual rock formations which he believed to be ruins of hitherto unknown buildings. Farini subsequently presented a paper to the Royal Geographical Society and photographs taken on the expedition were publicly exhibited, increasing his notoriety and that of his journey.
In his book, Farini describes the ruins as:
A half-buried ruin – a huge wreck of stones, on a lone and desolate spot, a temple – or a tomb for human bones left by men to decay and rot. Rudely sculptured blocks from the red sand project, and shapeless uncouth stones appear that some great man's ashes designed to protect and bury many a thousand years ago. A relic, maybe, of a glorious past. A city once grand and sublime, destroyed by an earthquake, defaced by the blast and swept away by the hand of time.
Farini described the city as one of the colossal proportions made from massive stones stacked on top of each other. The city was laid out in an arc and resembled the Great Wall of China after an earthquake. Part of the city was exposed and part hidden under the sand.
Digging away some of the sand exposed a pavement six meters wide with the longer stones laid at right angles to the path. Intersecting the pavement at right angles was another pavement, making a type of cross. There were no inscriptions or marking to be found anywhere, and Farini estimated the ruins to be thousands of years old.
At the start of the 20th century, Farini's observation gave birth to a legend throughout South Africa. Some people claimed to have seen an abandoned boat or even a stone quarry in the empty desert. Others attempted to explain the presence of this unknown civilization with comparisons to archaeological finds at Great Zimbabwe.
From 1932, a total of twenty five expeditions were launched to find the Lost City. They crisscrossed the desert area in the direction of Farini. F. R. Paver and Dr. W. M. Borcherds headed out from Upington to search the desert sands, flying over the area in reconnaissance aircraft and subsequently suggesting a number of explanations. However, they failed to find any signs of construction in the area.
Monumental rock structures found in the Kalahari desert
Later in 1964, A.J. Clement, who was a dentist by the profession and an enthusiast about "The Lost City Of The Kalahari," had researched the story and advanced a new theory.
Clement claimed his study of Farini's description of his route highlighted inconsistencies in Farini's story. Clement concluded that Farini went deep into Southern Africa, but he never actually went to the heart of the Kalahari where he claimed the Lost City was sited. To test this premise, Clement explored what he regarded as Farini's true route and discovered a set of monumental rocks, resembling walls.
Clement visited Rietfontein ― to the southwest of Kamqua, on the Namibian border ― where he saw an unusual rock formation known as Eggshell Hills. In places, the rocks looked like a double wall built from large rocks. Clement thought that Farini may have confused the rocks with square building blocks.
A geologist who saw photos of the site suggested that the 'ruins' were simply weathered dolerite. The geological formations were dated back to approximately 180 million years ago when the great upheaval accompanied the birth of the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa.
Magma intrusions had forced their way in and formed cracks and split as it cooled. This is what made it look as if the rock had been carefully cut and dressed, with pieces stacked up on top of each other.
Clement agreed that the rocks were all neatly squared and the lines were parallel and at right angles. But he felt sure that if this was what Farini had seen, he'd seen a natural rock formation, not a "lost city."
Since Farini's big adventure, there have been hundreds of expeditions to try to find the lost city, but none of them were successful. Of course, there are many who would not be convinced of Clement's natural rock formation theory, and many still have a lot of curiosity about "The Lost City Of The Kalahari," and that's why the search for it is still going on.

Google will change the look of its sign-in pages in the next few weeks
Jordan Novet@jordannovet	 March 30, 2017 11:33 PM
The new look for signing in to Google on the web, coming soon.
Image Credit: Google
Google today confirmed that it has begun informing people about a redesign of the sign-in pages for its web services — like Gmail. Google will be drawing from the style of the user interface it uses for adding accounts on Android and using that for the sign-in experience in Chrome and other browsers.
People will still need to type in their email address or phone number and then their password — and then use any two-factor authentication system that they've previously enabled. So functionality will not change. But the experience will look different in a few weeks, Google product manager Rodrigo Paiva told VentureBeat in an interview. Google started showing people a notification about the change at the bottom of the sign-in screen yesterday to prevent users being surprised by the new look, Paiva said.
Google started using the new look at the operating-system level — through Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google on Android, and through the Google App on iOS — a few months ago, and the company has been testing it in browsers internally in recent weeks, Paiva said.
The new system has a responsive design, meaning that its appearance will change based on screen size and orientation, and it will work on the mobile web and on desktop, Paiva said.
The change comes a few months after people were reported to be using a Google-like sign-in page for phishing attacks that could steal Google account holders' passwords. That attack involved sending an innocuous-looking email with an attachment that, when clicked on, brought people to a fake sign-in page. But the page didn't have the usual URL; instead, it had unusual characters at the beginning.
Google services like Gmail, Play, Search, and YouTube have more than 1 billion active users. So it does make sense that Google wants to be up front early on about any changes to the sign-in flow that many people have become accustomed to.
Update on April 3: Today Google formally announced the change, saying the new look will be rolling out starting on April 5.
Update on April 6: Google says it is delaying the introduction of the new look until April 10. Additionally the option to stay signed in will go away for some G Suite users, Google said in a blog post.

Explore the activities the local area provides to our guests.
We are lucky to be in a location that is close to so many attractions and activities. From walking through our beautiful countryside to sampling local wines, the Kaipara area has a lot to offer.
Here are some of our favourite highlights. Feel free to ask us about any specific activities you're interested in, as there's too many to list!
This large museum is dedicated to the history of the Kauri tree in New Zealand. Kauri logging is an important part of New Zealand's history and this museum, with interesting, interactive displays is a must-see. Located under 30 minutes from Valley Vista.
This museum displays a lot of the local history from around the Kaipara area. It is a great way to learn more about this area which has a rich history, including historic buildings which have been relocated to the museum site. Located 15 minutes from Valley Vista.
This walkway is worthwhile for the views you take in while walking. Situated along the surf beach, you look out to the Pacific Ocean and the islands along the coastline. This is an easy walk, although with some steep climbs. More information can be found here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/northland/places/waipu-area/things-to-do/mangawhai-walkway/ Located 20 minutes from Valley Vista.
Situated in the hills behind Valley Vista, this 12km walk is best accessed from the western end, off State Highway One. This walk offers stunning views of bush, forests and the hill range. More information can be found here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/northland/places/waipu-area/things-to-do/brynderwyn-hills-walk/ Located 5 minutes from Valley Vista.
These are very popular with tourists, and are a great way to learn about some of the caves we have in New Zealand. There is a set walking track to the caves, although the inner caves are only suitable for experienced cavers. More information can be found here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/northland/places/waipu-area/things-to-do/waipu-caves-track/ Located just over 30 minutes from Valley Vista.
The Piroa Falls are a great place to visit in the summer; you can have a dip in the water under the falls and take a picnic lunch along too. The walk to the falls is very short, although a bit steep and rough in places. More information can be found here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/northland/places/waipu-area/things-to-do/piroa-falls-track/ Located under 20 minutes from Valley Vista.
Another great market, this time in Paparoa. There's always a good selection of produce, food and more. A little further from Valley Vista, but close to the Matakohe Kauri Museum! Takes place from 9:00-12:00 every Saturday in the Village Green. Located 20 Minutes from Valley Vista.
Kaiwaka is easily accessed off SH1, Valley Vista is 2.2 kms from SH1, off Baldrock Road an 1 km from there to our gate.
We are around 20 minutes from Mangawhai and 25 minutes from the Heads. Kaiwaka has great cafes, a vibrant arts scene and great sporting roots. We have bush walks on our property and via a network of paper roads (unformed legal roads), we have access to so much more. Wineries and olive groves are nearby, as are markets and other local attractions. Ask us about marae visits.

DHL tracking not working
asked Dec 14, 2020 in Couriers by SVisser (170 points)
Can you fix the "DHL" tracking? the LINK is working in the web app. But the cookie notification is the problem. (I think)
commented 5 days ago by Pierre-Marc L (100 points)
This is happening on DHL eCommerce.
The initial refresh worked, but no new refresh have worked since Jan 8th. The pop-up browser window shows this error message:
You don't have permission to access "http://www.dhl.com/global-en/home/tracking.html?" on this server.
When it did sync, the pop-up showed a 3 sec countdown which you can reproduce by opening the link in an Incognito tab.
Hence, it seems likely the issue might be cookie related.
Maybe it's still using the cookie from that first sync, but it's no longer valid on their end.
I don't think there is a way to manually clear the apps stored cookies?
"Show in browser" works fine, whether using the built-in browser or an external one.

same issue for me
commented Jan 4 by Florian Casse (110 points)
Same here, but opening tracking in browser works.

Q: Smooth hover out animation works on a random website but not on mine, why? I am trying to use the inset border example here that should be smooth when the mouse hovers and go back to normal when the mouse goes away. The example on this page works perfectly on that page:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:900' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Inset Border

When I try implement that, my effect goes smoothly just when the mouse hovers. When the mouse leaves the div, it returns to normal abruptly.
This is the CSS I have applied to that div.
The element is a div. Every link that may exist on a row that is not the first one, should have the effect.

RuBase
August 25th 2020 - 12:00
Russia is back. After two decades of - checkered - attempts at rapprochement between the West and Russia, the Russian leadership has opted for a more confrontational and assertive foreign and security policy. All along Europe's periphery, Russia is once again a factor to be reckoned with, even for the Netherlands (trade, cyber, Art 5, political influence, etc.).
During the last period of systemic confrontation Western decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic could fall back on a definitely imperfect, but still comprehensive and solid epistemic backbone of broad and deep knowledge on the country. After the end of the Cold war that epistemic backbone quickly atrophied. Most western countries today recognize that the backbone has to be rebuilt and possibly even rethought and retooled.
Confronted with this new challenge HCSS decided to embark on a dual-track strategy:
We continue to use 'tried and tested' as well as emerging research techniques to produce evidence-based and creative analysis of what is going on in Russia and what that means for the West/Europe/The Netherlands;
At the same time, we also reached out to secure funding to explore to what extent certain tools and techniques (natural language processing/understanding; machine learning, etc.) that are showing such unprecedented promise in fields like life sciences might also be used to shed light on Russia's international thinking and acting.
Why RuBase?
RuBase is a multi-year research project that sets out to improve our understanding of Russia's multi-domain international behavior. The 'base' in RuBase refers both to the knowledge base the team is building and to its (aspirationally) foundational nature.
To elicit deeper knowledge and understanding about this topic a variety of new methods are introduced including open-source text- and data-sets and -mining tools explored through both human analysis and (supervised and unsupervised) machine-learning algorithms. This should generate a new visual and interactive knowledge base on Russia.
The RuBase will serve as a platform for Russian experts in the field to explore new collaborative ways of cumulative knowledge building on this topic that is only gaining in policy relevance.
What is RuBase?
This multi-year project sets out to explore new text- and number-based datasets, -tools and methods, using a corpus systematically compiled through relevant search queries, combined with different additional data sets like elite opinion surveys, event data sets (GDELT, ICEWS, Phoenix, TERRIER), economic, demographic, military, political, etc. datasets, to improve our knowledge about Russia's multi-domain coercion/international behavior more broadly. It will yield a new knowledge base on Russia (RuBase) that will be highly visual and interactive.
RuBase will be a knowledge base on Russia's international coercion/behavior
The exploratory project uses a variety of new open-source text- and data-sets and -mining tools to elicit deeper knowledge and understanding about this topic
One of the main aims of this project is to expose Russian experts in this field to these new datasets and -tools and to examine to what extent they can enrich our understanding of this topic - also in new collaborative ways
The project is spearheaded by Georgia-Tech and HCSS and funded by CCNY

The yoga tradition offers a refreshing alternative to the New Year's resolution: the practice of sankalpa, or resolve. A sankalpa practice starts from the radical premise that you already are who you need to be to fulfill your life's dharma. All you need to do is focus your mind, connect to your most heartfelt desires, and channel the divine energy within.
Rod Stryker, founder of ParaYoga, explains that the chief architect of life is the mind. To create the life we are meant to live, we must draw the mind again and again to our dharma, our deepest intentions, and the qualities of the Divine within.
A sankalpa is a statement that does this for us. Stryker explains that kalpa means vow, or "the rule to be followed above all other rules." San, he says, refers to a connection with the highest truth. Sankalpa, then, is a vow and commitment we make to support our highest truth. "By definition, a sankalpa should honor the deeper meaning of our life. A sankalpa speaks to the larger arc of our lives, our dharma—our overriding purpose for being here." The sankalpa becomes a statement you can call upon to remind you of your true nature and guide your choices.
A sankalpa can also take a second form—that of a specific intention or goal. Brenna Geehan, a certified ParaYoga instructor in the San Francisco Bay Area, explains, "When you discover your purpose, not everything happens all at once. To live your soul's mission, you need to reach milestones." Setting specific intentions can help you align your moment-to-moment choices with your heartfelt desire. Geehan suggests looking forward into the next year and asking yourself what specific things need to happen to move you forward on your path. Your specific sankalpa will describe what you need to do, and where you need to direct your energy, to make progress on your larger life goals.
Discovering your sankalpa is a process of listening. Your heartfelt desire is already present, waiting to be seen, heard, and felt. It's not something you need to make up, and the mind doesn't have to go wildly searching for it.
What if you sit down to listen, and don't hear anything in response? Or what if the answers you hear—new car, new job, better relationship—sound more like the endless desires of your ego, senses, and conditioned mind than like the wisdom of your heart?
To get to that deeper yearning, work with whatever goal arises, but also ask yourself what's underneath it. For example, one of the most common goals Douglas hears in our culture is, "I want to get fit" or "I want to lose weight." When working with her students, she asks them to imagine how life will be, and how they think they will feel, as a result of losing weight and getting in shape. Is it a sense of self-love, physical well-being, or freedom? What is the feeling they are striving for? What is the longing in the heart that is pointing them in this direction?
For this reason, your sankalpa—both the heartfelt desire and the specific intention—should be stated in the present tense. For example, rather than saying, "I want to be more compassionate," your sankalpa might be, "Compassion is my true nature" or "I am compassion itself." Rather than setting the intention, "I will not eat meat," your specific sankalpa might be, "With compassion for my body and for other beings, I eat a vegetarian diet." Stating your sankalpa in present tense acknowledges the tremendous will, energy, and truth that arrive with the discovery of your heartfelt desire. It also reminds you that whatever is required of you is already within you.
The core practice of sankalpa is remembering. By bringing the statement to mind, you strengthen your resolve and honor your heartfelt desire. But simply reciting the sankalpa is not enough. "As soon as you say you want something, a part of you recognizes that you don't have it," Stryker explains. "By repeating what you want, you reinforce the belief that you don't have it." When the unconscious mind operates from a place of lack or perceived inadequacy, the energy that supports your resolve is weakened.
On the other hand, every conscious choice you make is an opportunity to strengthen sankalpa shakti. This is the basis for a ParaYoga practice called "the departure point." The instructions are simple: pick something nonconstructive that you do on a regular basis and commit to not doing it for 40 days. Biting your nails, drinking coffee, watching television—it doesn't matter what you choose, as long as it's habitual. It could be related to your sankalpa, but it doesn't have to be.
This might sound a lot like the typical New Year's resolution, but the departure point practice isn't ultimately about the habit you're trying to break. When you come to that moment of impulse, instead of following your usual instinct, bring your sankalpa to mind. In this way, the habit becomes a reminder that points you back to your resolve.
You can apply the same approach not just to the behavior you choose for the departure point practice but for all of your choices. Miller advises a daily review of your actions from the perspective of your resolve. For example, let's say that your heartfelt desire is, "I am filled with divine compassion," and your specific sankalpa is "In every encounter, I treat myself and others with kindness." Looking back over your day, ask yourself: How was I unkind, mean-spirited, or hard-hearted? Conduct this review not with harsh self-criticism but with a sincere interest in seeing how it happened. What was the situation? What were your thoughts? How did it feel? What did you say and do? How did that feel?
Miller doesn't refer to these missteps as failures, but simply "moving away from yourself." The momentary lack of compassion isn't who you are. "The sankalpa really describes who we are and how we move in the world when we're in harmony with ourselves." Life just happens to be the process of learning how to align with that true nature, which means we occasionally lose our way.
When you first begin to work with sankalpa, the practice can seem full of contradictions. You start by identifying what you want, but the only way to realize it is to acknowledge that you already are it, and already have it. You set specific goals, and you commit to breaking habits. But at every opportunity to act in line with these goals, you must first acknowledge that you are already perfect and whole.

Lloyd v Google LLC: Supreme Court closes floodgates on opt-out data protection claims
On 10 November 2021, the Supreme Court delivered its judgment in Lloyd v Google LLC [2021] UKSC 50, finding unanimously in favour of Google and rejecting the claim brought by Mr Lloyd on behalf of himself and over 4 million other iPhone users in respect of alleged breaches of data protection law.
The judgment will come as a significant relief to data controllers of all sizes who, following the Court of Appeal's decision, faced the prospect of large-scale data claims. The Supreme Court's discussion of the representative claim procedure will also be of interest to anyone involved in multi-party litigation.
VATA 1994 s.47, Agency, Onward Supply Relief, & Double Taxation
On 12 July 2021, the First-tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) ("FTT") released its decision in Scanwell Logistics (UK) Limited v HMRC [2021] UKFTT 261 (TC), rejecting the taxpayer's claim for onward supply relief ("OSR").
Whilst OSR is now limited, post-Brexit, to goods imported into Northern Ireland for onward supply to the EU, the FTT's discussion of agency under section 47 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 ("VATA") is of broader interest.
The case serves as a reminder of the significant financial consequences that can result from errors in tax planning, as Scanwell was ultimately held liable for £5.7 million in unpaid import VAT despite the fact that the imported goods almost immediately left the UK (which, if properly planned, could have meant Scanwell was relieved from liability to import VAT).
Raising the bar: UK Supreme Court clarifies the requirements for HMRC to issue Follower Notices
On 2 July 2021, the Supreme Court delivered its judgment in R (on the application of Haworth) v HMRC [2021] UKSC 25, finding unanimously in favour of the taxpayer and upholding the Court of Appeal's decision to quash the follower notice issued to him.

Logic and Sex
"In this there is no measuring with time. A year doesn't matter; ten years are nothing. To be an artist means not to compute or count; it means to ripen as the tree, which does not force its sap, but stands unshaken in the storms of spring with no fear that summer might not follow. It will come regardless. But it comes only to those who live as though eternity stretches before them, carefree, silent, and endless. I learn it daily, learn it with pains, for which I am grateful: patience is all!"
-Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet
"Logic and sex." I wrote that in my journal right after I wrote the Rilke quotation. I'm not entirely sure why. It has something to do with my frustration with life's forcing me to logically sort out my daily duties for survival, health, social interactions, work, etc., when at times, I'd like to approach life more like sex: discovering and progressing through instincts and the senses. Logic aids sex and instincts aid navigating life, but I feel logic gets more attention. Probably for the better. But it still makes me squirm sometimes.
Instead of writing an essay, I'd like to write a poem on "logic and sex", but I can't really figure out how to do that right now.
Rilke's words are a comfort, because he says instincts help, and analysis (computing/counting) isn't always best.

Corporate Social Responsibility a Priority at World Cannabis Congress
Civilized Worldwide Inc. (Civilized)
Civilized made CSR a primary consideration throughout the global conference
SAINT JOHN, NB, June 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Waste-reduction initiatives and carbon off-setting have been major factors in the strategic planning of the upcoming World Cannabis Congress (WCC). The global conference, presented by Civilized, has corporate social responsibility practices reflected throughout the event.
"A strong approach to social responsibility is a priority for Civilized and the World Cannabis Congress team," says Derek Riedle, CEO and Publisher of Civilized and Co-Chair of the World Cannabis Congress. "Instead of speaker gifts, for example, we're planting 1,000 trees to offset our carbon footprint. Business goals and environmental sustainability must go hand in hand."
Wherever possible, digital applications are replacing paper materials. Instead of a printed agenda, an informational mobile app, WCC 2018, was created for delegates to download and use for the duration of the conference. The app, sponsored by ONB, includes the full conference agenda (including detailed session information), links to the speaker biographies and sponsors, interactive maps, a notes section, a private messaging function, direct access to the webpages of WCC Co-Chairs Civilized and Opportunities New Brunswick, a Twitter feed, and push notifications for updates and reminders.
"The WCC 2018 app is a green and innovative way for delegates and stakeholders to access information," says Stephen Lund, CEO of ONB and Co-Chair of the World Cannabis Congress. "It's a one- stop-shop that encourages connection and collaboration – that's what we do at ONB."
Traditional cloth delegate bags filled with sponsored paper products and swag have also been eliminated. Instead, delegates will receive a password to download a "digital delegate bag," providing them access to sponsored e-coupons, podcasts, videos and digital copies of research reports and whitepapers. Chartered shuttles, with seating up to 55 people, to and from the Saint John Airport are being used instead of individual taxi cabs to reduce carbon emissions. A condensed, printed agenda will be included inside delegate lanyards with provisions for recycling the paper products provided at the conclusion of the Congress.
No table number or signage cards are being printed for the approximately 60 tables in use during the Congress, and any signage that is printed will be double-sided to reduce paper waste. Sixty living centerpieces, a small garden composed of tropical plants, are being donated to the Loch Lomond Villa long term care community and various other community groups around the city immediately following the WCC. The Congress has also instituted a ban on unnecessary plastic; metal cutlery will be used, along with biodegradable paper straws and bamboo stir sticks. Pitchers of water and glasses are replacing plastic bottled water whenever possible.
Civilized is using non-profit group One Tree Planted to plant 1,000 trees in California, U.S., where forests have recently been devastated by fire and mud slides. The state has been at the forefront of cannabis legalization, is a progressive cannabis jurisdiction and is home to Civilized's Venice office. One Tree Planted will be planting a variety of native tree species including sugar pine, California redwood, maple, elderberry, willow, birch, dogwood, cedar, giant sequoia and walnut.
The WCC will also feature a panel discussion on social responsibility in the cannabis industry, which will be followed by an announcement made by the Global Cannabis Partnership (GCP). The GCP is creating an international standard for the safe and responsible production, distribution and consumption of legal recreational cannabis. Civilized is proud to be Lifestyle and Entertainment Media Partner with the GCP. More information about the GCP can be found here.
As legalization of adult-use recreational cannabis becomes a reality in more places around the world, Civilized has produced a series of entertaining and informational videos entitled "Cannabis for Beginners" to inform the public about responsible cannabis consumption. The videos can be found here.
