By October 7, 55 countries representing at least 55 percent of global emissions would need to ratify the Paris Agreement in order for it to enter into force before the November's climate talks in Morocco. What's the progress like so far?
Over the past two months, Cameroon, Brazil, Iran and Ukraine took important steps domestically to formally join the Paris Agreement, following the 20 countries that have already done so (Peru joined on July 26).
If an additional 23 other nations follow through on their promises to join this year, countries representing about 54 percent of global emissions will have joined the Agreement, putting "entry into force" well within reach. The Paris Agreement takes effect once 55 Parties representing at least 55 percent of global emissions join.
Cameroon's National Assembly approves ratification: On June 10th, members of Cameroon's bicameral National Assembly adopted the bill authorizing the President of the Republic, Paul Biya, to join the Paris Agreement.
Although Cameroon accounts for only 0.45 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, once it deposits its instrument of ratification, it would be the second African country to formally join the Agreement, following Somalia.
Brazil's House of Representatives unanimously approves joining: The House of Representatives (the lower house of Brazil's bicameral National Congress) unanimously approved the country joining the Paris Agreement on July 12th.
Next, it will go to the Senate, where if approved by an absolute majority, it will take the form of a legislative decree. Legislative decrees are the last formal step required, but in accordance with custom it is likely a further Decree of Promulgation will be issued by Brazil's Acting President Temer.
This process could be completed this year, enabling Brazil to deposit its instrument of ratification and formally join the Paris Agreement. Brazil is the world's seventh-largest emitter, and accounts for 2.48 percent of total global emissions.
Iran's Cabinet of Ministers ratifies the Agreement: Iran's Cabinet, headed by President Hassan Rouhani, ratified the Paris Agreement on July 13th and sent it for final approval to the Majles, Iran's unicameral legislative body.
Once it receives the approval of the Maijles, the requisite instrument must be signed by the President and deposited with the UN. Iran accounts for 1.3 percent of total global emissions.
Ukraine adopts law to ratify: On July 14th, 279 members of Ukraine's unicameral legislature, the Verkhovna Rada, voted to adopt a law ratifying the Paris Agreement. All that remains is for the country to deposit its instrument of ratification. Ukraine accounts for 1.04 percent of emissions.
Even with the addition of these four nations, as well as the 20 nations that already joined and the 23 that have publicly committed to join this year—including major emitters like China, United States, Mexico, Canada and Australia–the world would still be 1.05 percent short of the 55 percent threshold.
In addition to those that have committed to join this year, a number of other large emitters have sent positive signals in national statements of their intent to join in a timely manner. These include India, Russia, Japan, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand.
If a combination of these countries were to join this year, we would easily exceed the 55 percent of emissions needed for the Agreement to take effect. Explore theParis Agreement Tracker to identify different possible combinations to reach this threshold.

Another winter storm slams Northeast, Mid-Atlantic; 224K still without power in Texas; Little Rock, Arkansas, ties 1918 snow record
Ryan W. Miller Doyle Rice
POINT PLEASANT BEACH, N.J. — Another fierce winter storm brought more snow and ice across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Thursday, and warnings extended as far south as weather-weary Texas.
The storm will continue to loosen its grip on the region Friday, but "abnormally cold temperatures will hang around through the weekend," said the National Weather Service.
"Record cold daily maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to transpire in the South-Central U.S. through Saturday morning," the weather service forecasted.
As for the mid-Atlantic, much of the heaviest snowfall amounts has already fallen, with some additional snow Friday. A little farther south, one should expect icy temperatures and slippery travel through Friday.
Late Thursday night, more than 224,000 customers in Texas were still without power after frigid temperatures kicked large shares of the state's power plants off its grid this week, leaving more than 4 million in the dark and triggering outrage. Tens of thousands of people across Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky and Oregon were also without electricity, according to poweroutage.us, a utility tracking website.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden declared states of emergency in Texas and Oklahoma and authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide generators and supplies to states affected by the severe winter weather.
Specifically, FEMA has provided 60 generators and fuel to support water treatment plants, hospitals, and nursing homes in Texas, according to Liz Sherwood-Randall, Homeland Security advisor in the White House. This is addition to 729,000 liters of water, 10,000 wool blankets, 50,000 cotton blankets, 225,000 meals and other supplies as requested by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
"Jill and I are keeping Texas, Oklahoma and other impacted states in our prayers," Biden wrote on Twitter.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said there are currently no plans for Biden to visit Texas or other states affected by the winter storm.
At least 56 people have died this week in the extreme weather. Traffic accidents have claimed the most lives, but some people have died as a result of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning while struggling to find warmth inside their homes.
The heaviest snow was expected in parts of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and isolated patches could get up to a foot of accumulation in the Appalachians, the weather service said.
"Significant and disruptive" ice was expected farther south, up to half an inch of accumulation in North Carolina and southern Virginia, forecasters said. "The result will be dangerous travel conditions, numerous power outages and extensive tree damage."
Back-to-back storms left 15 inches of snow in Little Rock, Arkansas, tying a 1918 record, the weather service said.
Vaccination and testing sites take a hit
In New York City, forecasters anticipated up to 8 inches of snow by Friday and a "light glaze of ice" over the New York and New Jersey region. Mayor Bill de Blasio warned that the city could run out of vaccine Thursday because of storm-related delays.
In the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, some COVID-19 vaccination and testing sites closed as snow caused dangerous conditions on the roads.
Farther north, the storm was likely to drop half a foot of snow from the Hudson Valley to the southern parts of New England, the weather service said.
"This storm and its predecessor a couple of days earlier, accompanied by once-in-a-generation outbreak of frigid air, has left behind an absolute mess in the South Central states and is on the move," AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno said.
Boil advisory in Texas for now; cities in Mississippi without water;
Freezing temperatures lingered Thursday in parts of Texas.
"My elderly family members have had to live off candles and hot stoves for the last couple days," said Bertha Rendon, who has been living with her aunt and uncle in East Austin, Texas, this week. "That's when it really hit me. I mean, I'm young – I'm 41 years old – and I can take this, but they can't. So many people in my area are going through the same thing."
The cold weather damaged infrastructure and pipes, and officials warned 7 million people, a quarter of the state's population, to boil drinking water before use.
In Austin, some hospitals faced low water pressure and no heat. Gov. Greg Abbott urged Texans to turn off their water, if possible, to prevent damage to the water system and pipes.
Toby Baker, executive director of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, said people let their faucets drip to prevent frozen pipes, and frozen lines led to low water pressure across the state.
How to help:And what to do if you need help during Texas' historic freeze
'Massive failure':Why are millions of people in Texas still without power?
Grid manager Electric Reliability Council of Texas said late Wednesday that it had restored power to approximately 8,000 megawatts, or about 1.6 million households, since the morning.
"We are working around the clock to restore power to Texans," ERCOT President and CEO Bill Magness said. "We made progress today, but it will not be good enough until every person has their power back."
Warmer weather could allow frigid power facilities to roar back to life, restore natural gas production, open roads for skilled workers to make power repairs and cut demand from consumers, ERCOT managers said.
The power outages prompted Abbott to call for changes. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which oversees interstate electricity transmission, and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, which oversees reliability across the USA, Mexico and Canada, announced this week they would launch an inquiry into the the bulk-power system.
And in Mississippi, almost all of Jackson, a city of around 150,000 people, is now without water, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said Thursday night.
Lumumba said public works crews are working to pump as much water as they can to refill the city's tanks. The city is approaching a critical shortage in chemicals used to treat the city's water, the mayor said. Road closures are making it difficult for distributors to make needed deliveries.
"We are dealing with an extreme challenge with getting more water through our distribution system," he said. "This becomes increasingly challenging because we have so many residents at home, and while the residents are at home, that means that people are utilizing or attempting to use the water at a higher rate."
Beyond the immediate needs, Sherwood-Randall said the recent extreme weather events across the country, show the urgency to address the country's infrastructure, which she characterized as ill-equipped to handle the effects of climate change. Biden has said he wants to include significant infrastructure spending in an upcoming "Build Back Better" jobs proposal but hasn't laid out a timeline for its introduction.
"Climate change is real and it's happening now, and we're not adequately prepared for it," she said. "And in particular, power grids across our country, particularly in Texas, are overloaded by the demands that are placed to them under these circumstances. And the infrastructure is not built to withstand these extreme conditions."
'An electrical island':Texas has dodged federal regulation for years by having its own power grid
More:Texas mayor who wrote 'only the strong will survive' amid deadly winter storm says he has resigned
In Dallas, the weather service said, "the worst of the weather is behind us." But roads will remain dangerous as they partially melt and refreeze. "This means more black ice and bumpy ruts through Saturday."
Some warmer weather was in sight. Temperatures were forecast to be in the 50s in Dallas, Houston and Austin this weekend, and San Antonio expected a 62-degree high Sunday.
Oregon faces 'dangerous' power outages
In the Pacific Northwest, the weather service expected snow in the range of 1 to 2 feet to pile up along the Cascade Range. Mountain ranges in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming could see up to a foot of snow, the weather service said.
Power outages in the Portland, Oregon, area were the worst in 40 years, said Maria Pope, CEO of Portland General Electric. More than 350,000 customers at the peak of the storm lost power, and more than 100,000 in Oregon are still in the dark.
"These are the most dangerous conditions we've ever seen in the history of PGE," said Dale Goodman, director of utility operations.
The outage prompted a grocery store to throw away perishable food after the store lost power. The incident led to a clash between police and people who were searching the dumpster for the food.

Apple and Microsoft's two in one drama
Microsoft and Apple are back at it again…Microsoft seems to be laughing last on this one though. In 2012, Microsoft released the surface pro (First ever surface) alongside surface for windows RT at a time tablets and laptops worked independently. The release, a combination of the two devices was received with a lot of backlash from both consumers and competitors.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook was fast to dismiss it saying it is pointless to combine the two devices, saying that it would involve too many tradeoffs and that the consumer would not find it appealing. "You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going be pleasing to the user." Said Cook in reference to the Surface pro.
Well, with the recent release of the IpadPro, a device similar to Microsoft's surface. It must have taken a lot of gut after the ridicule in 2012.
Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella has come at the company carefully restating Cook's same words "Does anybody need one? And now guess what, even our competition has decided that it's not a refrigerator and a toaster, but it's actually a two-in-one."
During the Ipad pro release in August, consumers were confused when the company said it was a tablet then later put up ads claiming it was a computer. Seems like someone is claiming to be technically correct three years later…
No smartphones for Microsoft
Nadella says he will be steps ahead technology-wise and will watch as the rest follow suit. In an interview with the Australian Financial Review, Nadella explained he was confident his company's aggressive pursuit of artificially intelligent cloud computing would pay off, and said the company would not rush back into the smartphone market to try to compete with Apple and Samsung despite rave reviews for recent devices.
Mr Nadella was in Sydney on a brief visit Down Under last week, in which he addressed a local developer's conference to outline its advances in cognitive computing, and increasing strength of its AI-driven Azure cloud-based services.
"We don't want to be driven by just envy of what others have, the question is, what can we bring? That's where I look at any device form factor or any technology, even AI," he said.
Mr Nadella said that, in his two and a half years since taking over as CEO from Steve Ballmer, the company had found success by focusing strongly on areas it believes it can do something differently to rival tech firms, and that he has endeavored to instill a culture where his workers were no longer afraid to fail.

Oh Yes, We Made a Plan!
November 14th 2017. CAC Global Citizen and Harvard Alum Heather 'Action' Jackson blogs from Nagpur, India about our groundbreaking partnership with Slum Soccer.
I've been so lucky as a CAC Global Citizen in so many ways, including having the opportunity to work with longtime partner Slum Soccer here in Bokhara, Nagpur, India. As an outside observer, it struck me that the comfort, familiarity and understanding that CAC and SS have developed together over 8 years, as people and as organizations, created an environment of trust and openness that allowed for real progress to be made this week.
A common phrase you'll hear whenever a decision needs to be made is "We make a plan." This applies to almost any decision that I saw made this week incl: when to leave for Shakti Girls (Girl Power) practice; where to go for delicious Southern Indian dosa and tea; who is going to drive/be a passenger on which motorcycle (all of which read below empty on fuel) and of course which direction to take and grow an organization. Often the decision can take some time; that's what happens when you have a lot of bright people with different ideas, and/or a lot of bikes and passengers to organize.
And many plans were made, executed and/or in progress. Highlights include:
Serious strides in professional and organizational development for Slum Soccer using CAC's process consultancy framework. It's not often easy to take the "right" next steps to grow and mature as an organization; the insight and knowledge CAC leaders provided this regard was invaluable and those next steps put into place.
Development by senior female staff of 3 brand new games for Slum Soccer's female health & wellness initiative, focusing specifically on menstruation. It was amazing to see the girls open up, voice frustration with, and ask about the verity of, cultural traditions and listen to the SS senior staff support, educate and inform them. You know it's working and trust exists when the day's program is ended, and 15 girls are circled around still asking questions and getting answers.
42 games played with 35 coach/mentor participants, including those designed to address HIV, LGBT, Child Rights and ASK for Choice (Female Empowerment.) It's truly rewarding to see those girls too shy at the beginning of the week to say anything or even look up from the ground, raising their arms up and shouting "I am strong" or "I have a voice" by the end of the week. Yes change can happen in 5 days.
An amazing street food tour (once we figured out who was actually on which bike) led by senior SS staff. That "We make a plan" took some time to make following an outing to the cinema featuring Thor, my first Hindi 3D movie, but was so worth it. Thank you Slum Soccer friends and family!

CAC in the Mountains of Rural Haiti
February 3, 2014. We had a great week working with Association Sportives des Jeunes Filles de Fond des Blancs. First of all, Fond des Blancs is beautiful. It is surrounded by huge mountains, luscious green mango trees, blue skies and filled with smiling people. It was a very different experience to work with a first year program, but it was really fun to see them embrace and enjoy our games and messages.
The coaches, of course, started out with a few good laughs when we introduced Circle of Friends on the first day. As the day went on, the coaches started to become increasingly competitive with the games and involved in the discussions afterwards. Each day got better and by the end of the week, I could really see an improvement in the creativity in the way that they were solving the conflicts in the games we taught. They were great in the discussions on the difference between cheating and making a mistake, the importance of being healthy, and ways to make safer sexual decisions. One thing that all the Fond des Blancs coaches really enjoyed was just playing a game of soccer. We ended the week playing a big 11 vs. 11 game with rocks as goal posts and no true out-of-bounds lines. It was amazing to me that when someone did a handball or committed a foul there would be no discussion or conflict, even though throughout the week our games definitely caused some arguments. In the soccer game, the team that committed the fault would just give the other team the ball and the game would continue.
Sophie and I had a great time coaching, but Ricardo, our Community Impact Coach (CIC) from GOALS Haiti the week prior, was a super star. He was great at translating, teaching the games, and leading the discussions after the games. He was incredible at using self-directed learning as a coaching tool to make the new coaches think about solutions without giving them an answer. He was a great help throughout the week.
Outside of the training sessions, we had fun exploring Fond des Blancs. Sophie, Ricardo, and I were staying in a beautiful house with our host Molly, the general manager of Haiti Projects who is currently working with the Fond des Blancs girl's soccer team. She was awesome. She always made sure we had enough food and water, and even gave us a tour of the Haiti Projects, which is an organization that employs women in order to make them self-sufficient and have easier access to health care, jobs, and education. All of their employees send their children to school, when previously only about 17% could afford to do so. Women also are reporting an average income increase of over 250% and earn on average 262% more than the national minimum wage. Clearly, it is an incredible organization that deserves a lot of credit for the impact they are making. It is always great to see organizations that have similar goals to Coaches Across Continents be so successful. Overall, it was a great week. Sophie, Ricardo and I had an awesome time coaching, sight-seeing, and learning with the exciting people of Fond Des Blancs!

"Rezoud Konfli"
January 30, 2014. The first thing I realized when I landed in Haiti was that for some reason Haitian kids always wanted to fight me. At first I thought a Japanese man like me was probably not welcome in Haiti, but then soon I realized that they thought I was Jackie Chan and always thus expected a display of martial arts skill. For that reason, I was kind of popular in Haiti and it was easy to be friendly with Haitian people.
And like that, my life in Haiti started. After the amazing first week we had with GOALS Haiti in Léogâne, we moved to Port-au-Prince, where we worked with Tony Sanneh of The Sanneh Foundation and their Haitian Initiative for a full week. Tony is a former professional soccer player who played for the US in the 2002 World Cup and had an assist against Portugal. He founded The Sanneh Foundation when he was still playing as a pro in order to help the urban kids learn life skills through playing soccer, and decided to extend the program to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010.
The week with the Haitian Initiative was very overwhelming but also fun. In the mornings from 9:00 to 12:00, we taught our drills to about sixty of the local coaches, and in the afternoon from 2:00 to 5:30 we observed the coaches using our drills to train the kids. The sessions were really long and because I was under the sun for a long time every day, I got the coolest T-shirt tan lines ever, which people actually have been telling me are the worst. However, it was totally worth working with the local coaches for that long period of time because I was able to learn three big lessons about life.
One lesson is the importance of conflict resolution. From the first day of the week, we let them play games that were designed to simulate conflict. At first, I always wanted to get in the middle of the argument and re-explain the rules and offer a solution. However, Nora always pulled me aside and told me "let them solve their own problems" and just yelled out, "rezoud konfli!" which means to solve conflicts in Créole. By the end of the week I started to observe more leadership within the group and efforts to solve problems independently. It was a huge step forward for them, especially because the ability to think critically and solve problems is crucial for developing countries like Haiti, and until that point I never knew there was such an educating method as stepping back and observing without interfering, which had a pretty impressive effect.
The second lesson I learned was that, yes, soccer is a language of the world and you can easily make tons of friends by just playing soccer, but knowing some of their language and culture gets you much closer to them. For example, I literally knew only four sentences in Créole, which were "bon travay" (good job), "san balon" (without the ball), "bay non" (give me your name) and "ou pare? on ale" (you ready? Let's go). However, with only these four sentences, I was able to make them laugh, smile, and happy. In addition, we learned one of the Haitian traditional dance moves in the first week, and we showed it to the coaches in Port-au-Prince, and they absolutely loved that we did it. Looking back at my own life, I was always happy when random people talked to me saying "konnichiwa," or even when they were big fans of Pokémon. I thought that when I got a chance to go abroad next, I should learn some fun sentences and dances from the country before visiting, and now I know that will definitely help me make friends.
Finally, working with the Haitian Initiative made me realize that I could influence so many other lives. After working with the coaches for a week, it was obvious to my eyes that they not only had become better coaches, but also had become better educators. In the afternoon sessions where we got to observe the coaches training the kids, I could tell the way they interacted with the kids had started to change. They were encouraging kids to be more vocal, have respect for others, treat everyone equally regardless of gender, and have more fun. The funny thing is when they would shout out "rezoud konfli!" to kids when they were arguing. It was amazing to see that what we teach is directly reflected in what they teach. Because each coach had about twenty kids, that's more than a thousand kids we had impacted. To think that we had influenced more than a thousand kids in just a week, and that we had potentially helped create a positive outlet for Haiti's next generation of leaders is simply mind-blowing.
Going to Haiti and working with CAC and Haitian Initiative has definitely become a life changing experience to me. This trip gave me a chance to reassess my values in life along with my future goals. These past two weeks I was always asking myself questions, but did not know answers to most of them. This trip made me really want to go back to school, and study to become a better critical thinker so that I can be better at rezoud konfli. So now I am happy that I am back at Harvard to start a new semester, but man, it is freaking cold here. I already miss Haiti and mangos.

Slum Soccer–International Women's Day Celebration 2013
Slum Soccer with Coaches Across Continents
March 5th, 2013. Our great partner at Slum Soccer, India prepare for International Women's Day 2013.
Venue:- Slum Soccer Academy Bokhara Nagpur
Date:- 7 to 9th March 2013
Slum Soccer will be celebrating International Women's day with a unique mix of on field and off field activities. In slums girls are not encouraged to play sports, we explain them why soccer is important to their life with female empowerment games. Firstly by encouraging them to participate in games and then once they become comfortable with us then we can approach other important topics like HIV, Health and Nutrition. Among our participants we have seen that as result of participation they have become more confident in their personal lives, they feel safe when to come to our session and talk freely. They have improved their problem solving skill as well as they have learned to respect each other and the coaches
In the first two days session we will have games on womens empowerment and gender equality, this will be followed by an all womens tournament.
In the second phase of the celebration we will be conducting interactive sessions where the participants will get a chance to interact with a lawyer and a health worker who will be talking with them on basic human rights issue and general health.
Coaches Across Continents partners in more than 9 countries will be using Soccer for Social Impact to support International Women's Day 2013.

Phyllis "Bunny" Gavin Robinson is gone. She died peacefully on February 29, 2016 in Sarasota, Florida. She was 95.
Bunny was born in 1920 and was my first cousin, once removed. She was nine years younger than my mother and they grew up together in Norton, Massachusetts. Indeed, for me, Bunny's death is the severing of the last link to my mother and her generation.
Bunny was the first of four daughters born to Phil and Helen Gavin. The Gavin Girls — Bunny, Sally, Mary Helen and Carol — were a force of nature. The power of four sibling sisters should not be underestimated. I have known several of these groupings in my life and each has been fascinating to me. There is a closeness and yet a distancing between these sisters that is almost electric. They are fiercely competitive yet uniquely giving. They can fight like cats and dogs in one instance and then fall into a circle of intense communication that is almost telepathic.
Before her marriage she served in the Red Cross during World War II and was in the South Pacific when the war ended. My Uncle Bud, then serving in the Navy, actually visited her on one of the islands during the war, an amazing thing to me. All of Bunny's life was amazing to me. As I was growing up, first in Norton and later in Sarasota, Florida, I would hear stories of my exotic cousin Bunny. Her marriage to Parker Robinson immersed her in the diplomatic corps and Parker was stationed in some fascinating locales in the 1950s and 60s — France, Spain, Chile. Bunny became the diplomat's wife and she had wonderful interpersonal skills.
She lived long enough to see her first great-grandchildren and, as you can see from the picture, she loved meeting them. Look at that picture for a moment. What is passing between those two? Winston will not remember meeting Grandma Bunny but something passed in those moments that I hope stays with him, a joy of life and a respect for its wonders.
My years as a hospice nurse gave me the insight to know what she was saying. She was letting go. Her world was diminishing and she was acknowledging that. I kissed her softly and said goodbye. Then I went away.
I would see her one more time but she was unresponsive, making the transition to the next world. She was very peaceful and that is how I will remember her. With the passage of time these awful weeks of her final illness will fade from memory and I will recall my wonderful, fascinating cousin Bunny in happier times. And I will recall her courage in the final days…the days that will come to us all…and hope that I can carry that courage to my final time.
This entry was posted in Hospice Life and tagged Bunny Robinson, death, family.
Alice, I have enjoyed all of you post on your blog over the past few years but never have I been so moved by this tribute to cousin Bunny. I share in your feeling that an era in our families history has closed with Bunny's passing but I'm encouraged by the picture of Winston and Bunny and by your hope that Bunny's spirit will live on in her great grandchildren.
Alice, so sorry to learn about your "Bunny". You have been so very faithful in your love and concern. I know you do in fact carry with in you all those traits you admired in her. Sending you love and peace at this time my friend.

Q: NavigationController push animation from top to bottom As the title says, i'm trying to make a push animation, with the next viewcontroller coming in from the top. The thing is, i've tried using every solution on stackoverflow and google. Here's the problems i've encountered:
With CATransitions im getting a buggyflow, with a black transition, and especially in the right top corners it's looking really buggy..
Tried using  where i get the same problem, a black transition.
Tried using custom segue, again black transition.
Tried using [UIView transitionWithView:self.navigationController.view... this works better, but I can't get the same push animation, I can only chose flip animation, resolve animation and so on.
Sorry for bad english, not my main language. Hope you understand what I mean and know how to solve this problem.

Guarantor consent
Andrew Madden
When referring to a guarantee, it is common law that a change to the debt which is being guaranteed, i.e. the 'underlying obligations' of the guarantee, can result in a discharge of the guarantor's obligations.
Amending the underlying obligations (for example, by a change to the loan agreement) can even result in existing obligations being released, and at the very least is likely to discharge the guarantor's obligations going forward.
Historically, the courts have been strict with banks when it comes to guarantees. The rule has even been applied when the guarantor is aware of amendments being made without its consent, or where there is a clause in the guarantee to the effect that amendments may be made without the guarantor's explicit consent. Such clauses are known as 'guarantor intent' clauses and are often used to try to avoid the risk of amendments resulting in the guarantee being discharged. However, these are really only effective if the variation is insubstantial or would not adversely affect the guarantor.
There is no conclusive position on what constitutes a variation. Behaviour (such as waiving an obligation under the underlying loan agreement) can even be deemed a variation in some circumstances.
There is also the possibility that what appears to be a variation can actually be considered to be an entirely new obligation. For example: the High Court has held that where the conditions precedent to a loan were not met and the lender subsequently agreed to make the loan on marginally different conditions, the loan made on the second set of conditions was deemed to be an entirely separate obligation, and not a variation of the original loan. The new obligation is not considered a variation capable of discharging the guarantee but may instead mean that the guarantee does not extend to the new obligation at all (if it is a specific guarantee as opposed to all encompassing).
It is therefore considered to be good practice to obtain the consent of guarantors whenever amendments are made to the underlying loan or if there are any further advances made.
All monies, no problem?
Last year, however, case law relating to 'all monies' guarantees offered some comfort for banks. Where the guarantee is a genuine all monies guarantee (meaning it guarantees everything owed to the lender by the borrower and not just sums under a specific agreement or agreements), the variation of an individual contract setting out an obligation from the borrower to the bank was held not to discharge the guarantee. This is because an all monies guarantor agrees to pay whatever is due now and in the future from the underlying obligor to the indemnified party.
Nonetheless, this cannot necessarily be relied upon in absolutely all circumstances. As all monies guarantees are often entered into because the bank and borrower are entering into a specific obligation, it must be made clear to the parties that the guarantee in question is a stand-alone all monies guarantee and is not only relevant in conjunction with the specific loan agreement entered into at the time (i.e. that it will guarantee further advances and facilities). It is certainly sensible for the bank to maintain a record that it was made clear to the guarantor at the time that the guarantee was 'all monies', and it is here that authorisations such as board minutes and confirmation of independent legal advice letters can be particularly useful.
For this reason, if the evidence demonstrating the guarantor's understanding of the all-encompassing nature of the guarantee is lacking and there is to be a new loan agreement, restatement or a significant amendment (and there are no hard and fast rules as to what 'significant' would amount to as these things are often not tested until they get to court), it is prudent to obtain the consent of the guarantor.

Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, which causes an estimated 160,000 deaths each year. Yet not all people with lung cancer are, or were, smokers.
Second-hand smoke is thought to be the third-leading cause of lung cancer. If you are constantly around people that smoke, whether the smoke is coming from their pipe, cigar or lit cigarette. There are many cities and towns that have banned smoking in shopping malls, office buildings, restaurants and some even public sidewalks. Some establishments and companies create smoking areas so people who do not smoke cannot get affected. However there are some establishments like bars that argue that creating smoking areas will negatively affect their business.
At a forum held in China in 2013 experts blamed prevalent smoking in China as the main contributor to their rising lung cancer rate. The Xinhua news agency also reported that 87 percent of lung cancer deaths in China were caused by smoking or second-hand smoke. Medical experts warned that by 2025 patients suffering from lung cancer in China could top one million.
China has a smoking population of 350 million, more than the entire population of South Africa. According to the Beijing Times; China is by far the world's largest tobacco consumer and producer with some 1.7 trillion cigarettes made in China every year.

Hello! My husband Frank and I welcome you to The Twin Turrets Inn. And, our English Springer Spaniel, Elizabeth Queen of the Turrets, affectionately known as Lizzie, will also welcome you with her toy. Unfortunately we are not pet friendly. Lizzie loves to receive our guests but not their pets. Thank you for understanding. Frank is the President of Boyertown's Borough Council, and I am currently serving my fifth term as Mayor. Personally, I wear many hats.
I wear one kind of hat when watching The Boyertown Bears at our fantastic Bear Stadium. Bear Stadium was built in 1982 by volunteers to host the World Series of American Legion Baseball. Bear Stadium doesn't have a bad bounce except when I throw the first pitch.
As Mayor, there are other hats to wear as I also lead our fantastic Halloween Parade, our patriotic Memorial Day Parade and tap the first keg of our annual Octoberfest celebration. I also perform wedding ceremonies. Thus I am referred to as "Merry Marianne the Marrying Mayor".
When I am not donning the various hats, I am In the kitchen. I don't need a hat In the kitchen, but I do need an apron and an adjustable wrench. Yes, I can do plumbing with this instrument; but mostly it is used to open those hard to open lids. Some of you ladies can relate to that. As an innkeeper, I have truly been blessed by the most wonderful guests in the world. Some are just passing through but many of you have become more than acquaintances; we have developed true friendships.
"All Aboard" the Colebrookdale Secret Valley Railroad for an exciting excursion.
Or you can catch a baseball game at the famous Bear Stadium. Our park hosts a rambling walking trail, Frisbee golf and a playground for all children. Boyertown is rich in history so a visit to Boyertown's Museum of Historic Vehicles and Boyertown's Historical society is a must. Boyertown's century old State Theater provides live entertainment. Coming soon, The General Carl Spaatz National AAF Museum.
"Bear Fever" is contagious and it begins with historic "Townie Bear" and "Bubbles" located at the entrance to Twin Turrets. There are many other bears as you enjoy your walk along our tree lined streets and see our beautiful architecture, unique shops, restaurants, bakeries and even a micro brewery. Our artistic community is awesome and Taylor Backes Glassblowing Studio is universally recognized.
Building A Better Boyertown hosts "Oktoberfest" and always has family oriented functions on third Saturdays. Other events include Pick Fest, Uke Fest and Philadelphia Avenue Street Fair. Der Belsnickel, a juried craft show, is held Thanksgiving weekend and Boyertown's Holiday Open House Tour is the first Friday in December.
With so much to do you should really spend an evening or two at The Twin Turrets Inn; you will be glad you did.
Boyertown has been recognized by the state of Pennsylvania for the volunteerism our folks give back to the community. Boyertown is a neat small town with a huge heart. Am I bragging? You bet I am! I am proud to serve this community. It's a neat place to hang your hat!
Twin Turrets has quite a history. It's a little known fact that the house was actually built for Daniel B Boyer circa 1865. On July 4, 1876 the Boyers went to where else, but Philadelphia, to celebrate Independence Day. Apparently at that time, turrets were becoming the fashion, thus by 1880 the Boyers added a front porch along with copper turrets. In 1891, Daniel B's family of five children was grown so Daniel B traded homes with his son Horace K, who lived at 9 E Philadelphia Avenue. In 1988 The Twin Turrets was restored to the rich heritage it deserved.
Please click on an image below for a room description and price.
Of course all of the rooms are tastefully appointed, bathrobes provided for your private bath. All guests will enjoy a fully cooked breakfast, which is served at your convenience. Complimentary usage of a secured wireless network is available.
ADA COMPLIANCE: Unfortunately in 1865 when this magnificent structure was built and in 1880 when the turrets and porch were added, no thought was given to the physically impaired.
Therefore, Twin Turrets is unable to comply with the American Disability Act. We do not have any accommodations for disabled persons.
A fine dining experience awaits just the two of you at The Schultheis Carriage House Restaurant, an 18th century farmhouse. Then come home to your lovely room at Twin Turrets, kick off your shoes and relax. In the morning, a delicious full service breakfast will be served at your convenience. $245. Call today, you will be glad you did!
"This is our fourth stay here at Twin Turrets. We don't even consider looking for another place." - Mary & Bill, San Antonio.
"We are humbled by the many compliments that we receive and truly are blessed to have met so many wonderful people from all around the world and from all walks of life . . . Thank you."


Douglas McGrath is directing and Killer Films' Christine Vachon is producing Brooklyn Bridge, a period pic about the construction of the famous span that links Brooklyn to Manhattan. Daniel Radcliffe is attached to play Washington Roebling, the civil engineer son of the bridge's original architect, John A. Roebling. When the younger Roebling is left to oversee the project, his obsession threatens his health and his family until he discovers he has an improbable ally in his charming and shrewd wife Emily. McGrath (Emma, Bullets Over Broadway) wrote the screenplay. London- and New York-based Goldcrest Films will finance, distribute and sell all international rights to the movie, kicking off sales at the European Film Market in Berlin next month. Rose Ganguzza is also producing and Goldcrest's Nick Quested and Pascal Degove along with Jill Samuels are executive producers. Shooting is planned for August 2014.
The busy and in-demand Radcliffe is playing Igor in Fox's Frankenstein which is set for a January 2015 release. He's also attached to the role of an American journalist in FilmNation's Tokyo Vice and is lined up as Olympic middle-distance runner Sebastian Coe in Gold, the story of Coe's rivalry with Steve Ovett. Among Radcliffe's projects last year, he starred as Allen Ginsberg in Killer Films' Kill Your Darlings. He is repped by the UK's ARG and by UTA.

Night vision eyedrops allow you to see in the dark

Some scientist in California have successfully created an eye drop that can temporarily enable night vision.
Science for the Masses, an independent "citizen science" organisation that operates from the city of Tehacapi, theorised that Chlorin e6 (Ce6), a natural molecule that can be created from algae and other green plants, could enhance eyesight in dark environments.

If you are into Space and things like that you might want to check out Heavens-Above.com. Heavens Above allows you to track the ISS so you can watch it fly over you. You can type in your location using GPS coordinates or use there database of known location.
Typically you can see the ISS for about 5 minutes when it passes over. It looks like a bright star moving slower than a jet does when it flies over you.

US lab debuts super laser
By syclonefx, May 30, 2009 8:49 pm
Breitbart.com posted an article about a "super laser" made by the National Ignition Facility. I think this is the first step to the Death Star.
A fusion reaction triggered by the super laser hitting hydrogen atoms will produce more energy than was required to prompt "ignition," according to NIF director Edward Moses.
"This is the long-sought goal of 'energy gain' that has been the goal of fusion researchers for more than half a century," Moses said.
"NIF's success will be a scientific breakthrough of historic significance; the first demonstration of fusion ignition in a laboratory setting, duplicating on Earth the processes that power the stars."

"Greater than," "less than," and "equal to" can be tough concepts for students to master. But not with these December-themed games!
How to play: For a festive activity at a holiday party, sing "The Twelve Days of Christmas," but make changes to the lyrics, such as: "Which was greater than or less than, my true love said to me: five golden rings or one partridge in a pear tree?" Have students sing the answer to the tune of the song. Create a chart with symbols for the golden rings, the partridge, and the other gifts. Then challenge students to make "greater than/less than" statements.
How to play: Create a set of index cards that on one side feature "greater than/less than" questions about the holidays. For example, "Which is greater: the number of candles on a Hanukkah menorah or the number of sides on a dreidel?" or "Which is less: the date of New Year's Eve or the date of Christmas?" Invite students to illustrate the answers on the backs of the cards, and then ask pairs to quiz one another. You might put the cards in a center with an assortment of holiday books, such as several titles from National Geographic's Holidays Around the World series.
How to play: Draw any number of snowflakes on pieces of scrap paper and crumple them up to look like snowballs. Fill a trash basket with these paper snowballs. Invite pairs of students to toss the snowballs at each other, and then race to open them up. The students count the snowflakes and determine which number is greater. You might also make traditional paper snowflakes by folding and cutting paper. Challenge students to identify which snowflakes have the greatest number of openings and which have the fewest. Some may also have the same number, although no two snowflakes are exactly alike!
How to play: On the Winter Solstice, the sun is at its lowest point all year, offering the fewest hours of daylight. Celebrate this day by making flashcards with various numbers of suns. Each sun represents an hour of sunlight. (You can use sun stickers or draw yellow circles with rays). Two students play. With cards face down, each child picks a card. The two compare cards. The child with the lower number of suns takes both cards. The game continues until all the cards are gone.
How to play: Invite students to create their very own snowmen. Have them draw two or three circles of different sizes on top of each other (the smallest at the top!) to make the bodies of the snowmen on the white paper. Then have them add the details that bring the snowmen to life by cutting boots and a top hat out of the black construction paper, buttons out of the red paper, carrot noses from the orange paper, and corncob pipes from the yellow paper. Encourage students to think about how tall to make their snowmen, how wide, how many buttons to give them, and how big to make their noses and pipes. Once they've completed their creations, invite them to compare their snowmen's features in pairs by using the terms greater than, less than, or equal to.
How to play: Boxing Day, which is celebrated in many countries on December 26, is a day to show thanks by giving to others less fortunate. Give two matching or unmatching pairs of coins (e.g., a quarter and dime or two nickels) to each student and let each determine which pair is greater than the other pair. Using the example above, 35 cents is greater than 10 cents. Invite students to decorate gift boxes and put these same pairs of real coins inside. You and your students can then donate your Boxing Day gifts to a local food kitchen or other charity organization.

Learn About AFMatic
The Tybee Jet philosophy is that the software should do work for you, not help you do work. We gave AFMatic an easy-to-use interface and coupled that with state-of-the-art computational methods. AFMatic is a Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7/8 program, making full use of the available technology to deliver the power of a performance engineering department at the touch of a button to the corporate pilot. The result is a powerful flight planning tool.
Takeoff and landing calculations are accomplished by
Selecting the airport and runway from the integral worldwide airport database
Entering atmospheric and configuration information
Pressing COMPUTE.
What could be easier?
Need to compute obstacle clearance? Calculations are performed for up to 25 obstacles on each runway, as well as SID required climb gradients. Though obstacles and SIDs aren't included in the airport database, AFMatic provides the capability to store and retrieve data that the user enters manually.
In addition to takeoff and landing analysis, aircraft weight and balance may be computed. You may enter the aircraft Basic Operating Weight, seat locations, and other storage locations in the aircraft database. When you compute weight and balance, the center of gravity limits are checked for both forward and aft loading, so you will know you are within limits, no matter where the passengers sit.
JetMiser is a favorite feature! It is designed for only one purpose, and that is to save you money. JetMiser uses the concept of fuel tankering to minimize your total fuel cost for a multi-stop trip. Depending on the specifics of the trip, such as length of flight legs and relative fuel cost at each stop, JetMiser can save you thousands of dollars on a single trip. You'll see cost savings whether fuel prices are high or low, and that's something that most flight departments can really use.
One Click Weather allows you to view any of over 2,200 weather graphic images downloaded from the National Weather Service and NOAA weather data servers. In addition, METAR and TAF reports are available from over 6,300 airports. Just select the report or map that you want to see, and click the "Retrieve" button. It's a great tool for getting the big picture while planning the flight!
With its integrated database features, AFMatic is the perfect complement to the on-board performance computer in large cabin Gulfstreams. The worldwide airport database, in combination with the obstacle and SID data that the user can enter, provides unparalleled coverage and ease of use. Wherever you go, you'll have the data you need at hand. And to make it even more convenient, you can search the database for airports, and even find weather alternates within a specified distance and having a specified minimum runway length. There's never been an easier way to compute Gulfstream takeoff and landing performance.
AFMatic is kept current with an annual update subscription providing updates every 28 days to the worldwide airport database, the aircraft data provided by the manufacturer, and the software.
Try AFMatic free for 90 days, and you could save enough during your evaluation to pay for an annual subscription, and then some!

Bairnsdale, is a city in East Gippsland, Victoria. The estimated population of Bairnsdale urban area was 14,271 at June 2015. The city is a major regional centre of eastern Victoria along with Traralgon and Sale and the commercial centre for the East Gippsland region and the seat of local governators for the Shire of East Gippsland. Bairnsdale was first proclaimed a shire on 16 July 1868 and it was proclaimed as a city on 14 July 1990.
The origin of the city's name is uncertain. It would have almost have certainly been Bernisdale, with "Bernis-dale" originating from "Bjorn's dale", or glen which indicates the Viking origins of the Skye Village. Legend has it that Macleod was impressed by the number of children of his stockmen, that he called it Bairns-dale, or "valley of the children".
Bairnsdale is sited on a bend of the Mitchell river, with the river flowing from the west along the northern edge of the town, before turning south to flow along the eastern edge, although suburbs are now found across the river to both north and east, e.g. Wy Yung, Eastwood and Lucknow.
