There are several active cases that may have major implications on the government's role in determining the direction of climate change policy, and on private companies' past and future liability for alleged contributions to climate change, as well as knowledge of climate change impacts on business decision-making. This article discusses notable current cases involving climate change.
First, and possibly the most novel and notorious, is a case filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. In 2015, a group of 21 minor children, along with an individual acting as guardian for future generations, filed a complaint against the United States, individual U.S. officials, and various government agencies. The plaintiffs argued that the United States government enables the exploitation and combustion of fossil fuels, which releases GHGs into the atmosphere. The plaintiffs further argue that enabling GHG emissions—which cause climate change—will significantly endanger the plaintiffs' substantive due process rights of life, liberty, and property protected by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and violates the public-trust doctrine, or the obligation of the government to hold certain natural resources in trust for people and for future generations. The plaintiffs asked the district court to order the executive branch to prepare a consumption-based inventory of GHG emissions in the United States, and implement an enforceable national remedial plan to phase out fossil fuel emissions and draw down excess atmospheric GHG.
The government attempted several times to dismiss the complaint, arguing the plaintiffs lacked standing and that the claims lacked justiciability, stating its view that the claims represent political questions reserved for the other branches of government. Each attempt was initially stymied by the district court or the Ninth Circuit. The parties were barreling towards trial, originally set for October 29, 2018, when the government applied to the U.S. Supreme Court on October 18, 2018, for a stay of the trial and filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Chief Justice Roberts temporarily paused the trial on October 19, 2018, by issuing an administrative stay, but ultimately on November 2, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the government's application for stay; thus removing what would seem to be the final hurdle for the district court to proceed with the trial. However, less than a week later, on November 8, 2018, the Ninth Circuit stayed the trial pending consideration of the government's petition for writ of mandamus filed with the Ninth Circuit, the next battle in this case.
Should the Ninth Circuit deny the petition for writ of mandamus, what would loom ahead for the parties is an anticipated 50-day trial on the merits. Ultimately, the results of this case could take years to proceed from trial to another appearance before the Ninth Circuit, to—almost certainly—being argued again before the U.S. Supreme Court. Many of the minor plaintiffs may be well into young adulthood by the time this litigation has run its course, but the outcome of this case could have far-reaching and longstanding precedent in the legal battle over government's role in addressing climate change.
Next is a case that involves the Keystone XL Pipeline, the proposed pipeline that has been in national headlines for nearly a decade. The pipeline is proposed to transport petroleum products from Alberta, Canada, through Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska and then connect with an existing pipeline system. As a brief background, in 2015 the Obama Administration denied the Keystone XL Pipeline a Presidential Permit. This permit is necessary to allow the pipeline to make a trans-border crossing from Canada into the United States. In a 2015 Record of Decision ("ROD"), the U.S. Department of State determined that the United States' leadership in addressing climate change provided a significant basis for denying the permit. Further, the 2015 ROD stated that there was science supporting the need to keep global temperature less than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and human activity represented a dominate cause of climate change.
In 2017, the Trump Administration issued a revised ROD and the U.S. Department of State approved the Presidential Permit. With regards to climate change, the 2017 ROD simply stated that there have been numerous developments related to global action to address climate change and a decision to approve the pipeline would support U.S. priorities related to energy security. In March 2017, environmentalists filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief in the U.S. District for the District of Montana challenging the Trump Administration's reversal from the Obama Administration's 2015 permit denial. The environmentalists and the government filed motions for summary judgment, and on November 8, 2018, the district court granted in part and denied in part both parties' motions, but ultimately vacated the 2017 ROD and remanded the matter to the U.S. Department of State for further consideration. The district court concluded that the Department of State failed to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act "when it disregarded prior factual findings related to climate change and reversed course." This decision blocks Keystone XL Pipeline construction until a successful appeal overturning this decision or the Trump Administration reissues a new ROD with a more reasoned analysis for why it decided to overturn the 2015 ROD.
The next cases discussed are not claims against government action or inaction on climate change or their evaluation of climate change impacts, but involve claims against industry members for their contributions to GHG emissions and their management and disclosure of climate change risks.
There have been several cases initiated around the country by state or local government entities against industry companies seeking compensation for damages caused by climate change. The governments argue under various common law legal theories that the companies' emissions caused climate change, which damages coastlines and other government infrastructure. Many of these suits were initially filed in state court and were subsequently removed to federal courts. Local governments have been largely unsuccessful in these cases, but have appealed and are now presenting arguments before circuit courts.
In California, the City of Oakland and the City and County of San Francisco had cases dismissed by the District Court for the Northern District of California for failing to state a claim. Appeals were filed to the Ninth Circuit and briefing is due January 31, 2019. Similarly, New York City filed suit against industry members to obtain compensation to redress the effects of climate change under theories of state law nuisance and trespass. This case was dismissed, but NYC appealed the dismissal on July 26, 2018, to the Second Circuit. Forthcoming decisions by the circuit courts in favor of the municipalities will send these cases back to the district courts to be further litigated. However, decisions against the municipalities would all but foreclose these types of state-law claims in the Second and Ninth Circuits and would be extremely persuasive for industry organizations in similar suits in other circuits.
On October 24, 2018, the New York Attorney General, Barbara Underwood, filed a summons and complaint against Exxon Mobil Corporation ("Exxon") in New York County Supreme Court. The New York Attorney General claimed that Exxon employed internal practices that were inconsistent with its representations disclosed to investors and inadequately addressed climate change regulatory risk in business decisions. Specifically, the Attorney General claims that Exxon publicly stated that, when evaluating business decisions, the company uses certain "proxy costs" to account for potential costs due to government regulation of GHG emissions, but in practice either used lower amounts than those publicly disclosed or did not include proxy costs in decision making at all. The New York Attorney General argued that these practices fraudulently underreported climate change risks to investors, which constitutes fraud under the New York Martin Act and New York common law.
This litigation is still developing, but if the New York Attorney General is successful in this case, the practical implication is that large GHG-emitting companies will need to assess the information provided to investors in securities-related documents and presentations, and used in business decisions involving GHG-regulatory risk. While the case is currently specific to New York law, this case could have an impact on companies across the country as other State Attorney Generals, and investors, may be emboldened to pursue litigation similar to this New York case and to the case discussed below.
Finally, in 2016, a group of Exxon investors filed a class action securities fraud lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas alleging facts similar to the above suit filed by the New York Attorney General. In the Texas case, the investors claim that Exxon understood climate change impacts on business assets, but failed to disclose recognized risks caused by climate change that could result in hydrocarbon reserves of the company being "stranded" or unable to be fully utilized. The plaintiffs argue that intentionally not disclosing this information fraudulently inflated the stock price and bond rating of the company.
Exxon filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that its statements were not materially misleading and that the plaintiffs did not sufficiently plead scienter, or mental state with an intent to deceive, required in securities fraud cases. On August 14, 2018, the district court concluded that the plaintiffs sufficiently alleged that Exxon made material misstatements regarding the company's use of proxy costs in formulating business and investment plans and that the plaintiffs' allegations support finding strong inferences of scienter. Exxon attempted a reconsideration of the court's August 14, 2018, decision, but on November 5, 2018, the district court rejected the reconsideration request and denied the company's request to immediately appeal the decision, thus allowing the case to proceed.
The past few months have seen a flurry of activity across the country for cases involving climate change issues. The cases discussed above are only a few examples of the climate change litigation that has been developing the past few years, but these cases all share a significance and novelty that practitioners should monitor closely. Broadly, we are seeing ever-expanding legal theories being used by plaintiffs to draw the debate of climate change into the court system. We are also seeing unsuccessful attempts by the government and industry to dismiss these cases at early stages of litigation. Over the course of the next year to several years, we may see precedential holdings involving these cases that could stall the use of certain legal theories to challenge climate change, or greenlight these theories for plaintiffs to pursue additional litigation.

HBO Max Takes Inaugural Step into Unscripted Space with Emmy® Award-Winning Producers Behind
Queer Eye and The Amazing Race
Streamer Greenlights Legendary and The Greatest Space (WT)
LOS ANGELES – September 12, 2019 – Making its first move into the key unscripted space, HBO Max, the upcoming direct-to-consumer offering from WarnerMedia set to launch in the spring of 2020, has ordered two original unscripted series, Legendary andThe Greatest Space (working title) straight to series.
Legendary will be serving up 10 episodes of all body and face, with no shade. In this show, divas will battle on voguing teams called "houses," with the chance to win a cash prize in ballsy fashion and dance challenges to ultimately achieve "Legendary" status. Voguing is a competitive style of modern dance featuring over-the-top fashion and choreography based on poses struck by models on a catwalk. Legendary will feature 10 voguing "houses," each comprised of five performers and a leader – the house "parent." The teams rotate in a round-robin format, and each episode documents a themed ball from start to finish. They Walk. They Serve. They Live to Slay.
The Greatest Space (wt), a 10-episode epic design competition show, will feature interior designers traveling around the world to transform an eclectic mix of empty rooms into spectacular spaces. In each one-hour episode, pairs of professional designers will head out on a country-hopping adventure, traveling to a new city in search of their canvas. Along the way, challenges will force them to lift directly from some of the most glamorous, audacious and ambitious rooms all around the world. From ballrooms to bedrooms to treehouses and everything in between, competitors battle to win the judges' favor. High stakes, surprises, language barriers and exotic locales await these designers, along with unpredictable eliminations. But, if they can hold on, the dwindling designers will gain access to larger, more surprising and more imaginative spaces, in pursuit of a substantial cash prize.
"Unscripted programming will be an incredibly important component of our HBO Max originals, and this is just the beginning of our venture into this space. These two initial shows will transport audiences to underground worlds and take them on visually stunning, exotic adventures, equaled only by the compelling stories of each contestant," said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max. "We couldn't have more accomplished teams behind both of these shows. From the innovative and award-winning storytellers at both Scout and Bertram van Munster's New Media Collective, we are reimagining the unscripted competition genre."
Legendary is executive produced by Scout Productions' Emmy® Award-winning team David Collins, Michael Williams and Rob Eric (Queer Eye) along with Renata Lombardo and Shant Tutunjian.
The Greatest Space (wt) is produced by New Media Collective (NMC) and Scout Productions with NMC's Emmy® Award-winning Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri along with Mark Dziak (The Amazing Race), and Scouts' David Collins, Michael Williams and Rob Eric serving as executive producers.

Okay, so they aren't dollars, they're Malawian Kwacha and there are roughly 150 Kwacha in every dollar. But when you're strutting around with a gangsta roll like this in your pocket you still feel like the shit.


The tallest conifer in the world grows on the humid west coast of North America. It's a coast redwood - Sequoia sempervirens, which is 115.55 metres tall and nicknamed 'Hyperion'. The tallest deciduous tree on earth is an Australian mountain ash - Eucalyptus regnans, with a height of 101 metres.
Today, measurement of the thickest tree in the world is based on its cross section. This means that hollow trees, trees with large aerial roots and multi-stem trees can no longer be named the 'thickest tree'. A Mexican cypress - Taxodium mucronatum in the village of Santa Maria del Tule is the thickest tree in the world with a diameter of 11.62 metres and a circumference of 36.2 metres. For a long time, there were questions over whether or not the cypress was a single tree, but DNA research showed that this was the case.
The largest tree, measured by volume, is the giant sequoia- Sequoiadendron giganteum, nicknamed 'General Sherman', in the Californian Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park. This giant has a trunk circumference of 24.10 metres at a metre and a half from the ground. Its mass is estimated at around 2,000 tonnes.
The oldest tree still alive is a spruce in the Swedish province of Dalarna. Carbon dating has proven that this tree is at least 9,550 years old. It is only 4.5 metres tall, due to the harsh weather conditions in which it grows. In cold periods, some of the part above the ground dies, but the root system remains alive and this is almost 10,000 years old.

Q: How to connect Swift project to Kibana elastic search? I am doing a swift project and I need to send some data from my swift project to Kibana Elastick search. Any idea how can I possibly do that ? any link or reference is appreciated
Background
I am creating a fitness app and I need to send my data to Kibana for the AI processing. This info will be recorded according to the sensors on the phone. And all I know is that I have the proxy of the server.

A: You dont send data to Kibana, but to elasticsearch, Kibana is a data viz. tool.
Basically, elasticsearch have a HTTP API, listening on port 9200.
Every-body will not recommend you to make your elasticsearch "public" (even if some Swift client exist https://github.com/JimiSmith/SwiftElasticsearch).
So, I am sure you are using already a backend (maybe Php / NodeJS / Java ?), use it to write on elasticsearch.

Can the Belarusian Opposition Unite?
By: David Marples
May 26, 2010 04:52 PM Age: 10 years
The term "Belarusian opposition" is practically a platitude. It is deployed by the Belarusian authorities to denote a small sector of the population that is dissatisfied with the presidency of Alyaksandr Lukashenka. For the official media it is a term of abuse. However, in Belarus it can refer to practically anyone who has fallen foul of the government: politicians, diplomats, trade unionists, youth activists, former cabinet ministers, communists, and registered and unregistered parties or associations.
Recently, the opposition has formed several coalitions as a prelude to electing a single candidate for the presidential elections anticipated in February 2011. The main ones are the New Generation (uniting several youth movements), Coalition of the United Democratic Forces (UDF), the European Coalition (ES), and the Belarusian Independence Bloc (BIB). Each, in theory, can advance its own candidate –the ES, for example, has already nominated Mikalay Statkevich (Novae Pakalen'na, April 16) –but they do not encompass several others who have declared their intention to run.
In the background lie the recently completed municipal elections. On May 5, the United Democratic Forces Political Council issued a statement saying that "problems remain with a lack of transparency on vote counting." It is evident also that the composition of the electoral commissions was heavily weighted against opposition figures. Out of 85,210 members, only 194 were from the democratic forces, or 0.2 percent. Whereas some 2,500 oppositionists expressed their wish to be candidates in the April 25 elections, only 500 did so, and out of 21,288 deputies elected, just 10 derived from their ranks (Telegraf, May 6).
The task ahead, based on this evidence, is formidable. On May 5, the Council of the Belarusian Intelligentsia (CBI) held a meeting to discuss possible presidential candidates, a move supported by several actual and potential nominees including Mikalay Statkevich, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, Vital Rymasheuski, the Co-Chairman of the Christian Democratic Party, Lyavon Barshcheuski of the Belarusian Popular Front, and Alyaksandr Kazulin, the former Rector of the Belarusian State University (www.charter97.org, April 23). Yet, just two days before the CBI meeting, the leader of the Movement for Freedom, Alyaksandr Milinkevich, officially announced his candidacy and outlined his platform. In theory, reported one source, he has agreed to step down if the democratic forces select a stronger candidate but that was a politically correct stance as it is unlikely that he will do so (www.belmy.by, May 6).
European Belarus leader, Andrey Sannikau, took a more forthright position and simply refused to cooperate with the CBI. He saw little sense in taking part as no results could be anticipated. Belarus needs a strong democratic candidate, he acknowledged, but it is immaterial whether it will be a "single candidate" (www.charter97.org, April 23). The first leader of independent Belarus, Stanislau Shushkevich, publicly backed the candidacy of Sannikau in a sensational interview with Euramost, in which he commented that Milinkevich showed cowardice during the 2006 campaign –Kazulin by contrast acted heroically– and that he has betrayed the opposition by obeying the current authorities even though there have been no substantial changes to the electoral law (Telegraf, May 5).
The 75-year old, Shushkevich, also dismissed the youthful candidates, Ales Mikhalevich, the former Deputy Chairman of the Popular Front, and Rymasheuski. If a person has never worked in his life and has not experienced leadership for several years, he stated, then it is "laughable foolishness" to think that he can rule the country, adding: "These candidates have no one to vote for them because they have done nothing serious in their lives" (Telegraf, May 5). Such a comment not only lowers the tone of debate by denigrating individuals, it also runs counter to the Belarusian constitution, which permits anyone over 35 to run for election providing that they have been resident in the country for ten years.
Differences have also surfaced between the Belarusian Christian Democratic Party and Milinkevich. Co-leader of the former, Paval Sevyarynets, maintains that Milinkevich misinterprets the party's position (and implicitly that of its candidate Rymasheuski) on Europe. Milinkevich claimed that the party was disillusioned with European values, but according to Sevarynets, it is committed to joining Europe and spreading its policy of Christian values. Sevyarynets also added that in local elections, his party was the most active, whereas representatives of the Movement for Freedom were practically invisible. He claims that the Christian Democrats have a significant national presence (Euramost, May 6).
All factions maintain that the presidential election may end in street protests, but whereas Milinkevich speaks of a non-revolutionary and peaceful demonstration, Young Front leader, Zmitser Dashkevich, maintains that the opposition's strategy should remember the errors of 2001 and 2006 and be focused "on the square" (Naviny BKhD, May 6). These multi-sided attacks on Milinkevich reflect also the fact that he and his party are well ahead in terms of organization and platform. He proposes to raise $10 billion for investment in the economy, reform of the courts, health care, and utilities, European education for Belarusian youth, and a halt to the current nuclear power plant construction though not the industry in general. He also supports private property, a transparent national budget and EU membership for Belarus (European Radio for Belarus, May 3).
However, there is currently over ten potential candidates, with Kazulin perhaps being the likely choice for the CBI, his criminal record notwithstanding. The key issue is for the opposition to set aside personality clashes and reach an agreement on a single candidate. To do otherwise will only play into the hands of the authorities.

National Rugby Championships
Rugby news, including: Previews, Law variations, National selection and everything in between
It's Time For Two Tiers In Super Rugby
September 17, 2016 September 17, 2016 ~ dale91
In the words of the Katie Perry "Super Rugby changes structures, like a girl changes clothes" and very few fans would disagree that the current system is in a shambles.
There is no doubt that the most recent venture into expansion and the inclusion of the Argentinian Jaguares and the Japanese Sunwolves, was intended to broaden the marketing base, hopefully providing a gravy train for the host nations. Yet,the most recent evolution of the competition to a two conference, four group structure, in which many teams will face off only once every second year has proven confusing at best, and disastrous at worst.
Don't get me wrong, I believe expansion is a natural progression, but at what point do we step back and look towards a long term goal? SANZAAR needs to ask itself, where do we want this competition to be in 10 years?
Current considerations seem to bosh any talks of further expansion, rather suggesting a more condensed 16-franchise format may replace the current 18-franchise format. With the recent additions; the Jaguares and the Sunwolves being seen as important strategic partners, particular leading up to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, this would leave both Australia and South Africa to say sayonara to one of their teams respectively.
Im not sure about you, but I for one find the concept of removing two teams from the founding nations of the competition, whilst retaining two more recent teams from outside the traditional SANZAR catchment area execrable.
Back home in Australia there is no doubt that Bill Pulver agrees Australian rugby can't "shrink to greatness" in the nations competitive sports market. Therefore, a more sustainable system needs to be developed.
So where do we look to find a successful simple structure, which will allow for expansion, whilst not diluting the competition talent pool and resulting in more and more predictable outcomes. How about the Northern Hemisphere?
Both France and England have multi-tiered, promotion and relegation structures which if adopted by SANZAAR would allow for further expansion whilst keeping the competition competitive. With the current 18 franchises, two tiers of 9 teams could be created, with each tier holding 16 rounds of matches in a more traditional home and away format.
This structure would not only allow for future expansion without continuously harming its essence but it would also provide more 'make or break games' including two lots of finals as well as games where relegation may be on the line. More games of higher importance would also be an attractive draw card for sponsorship and TV rights deals.
A two-tiered system would also seemlessly allow for the immediate or delayed inclusion of Pacific nation sides, something that has been suggested for many years, yet never coming to fruition with fears that it may further weaken and complicate the competition.
The inclusion of a Fijian side, which may be based in both Suva as well as the Gold Coast and a joint Tongan/Samoan, based in those nations as well as Auckland, would allow for two 10 team tiers competed over 18 weeks. The split home locations of the sides would reduce the financial strain, as well as draw support from the large Pacific Islander populations in both Australia and New Zealand.
If the two Pacific sides were to joint the current 18 franchises and they were divided into a Super Rugby Championship (first tier) and a Super Rugby Cup (second tier), based on the performances in recent years, this is how it may look:
SUPER RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP
SUPER RUGBY CUP
Tonga/Samoa
The Pros of the two-tier system
It provides a long term structure which can be expanded without losing its integrity
It reduces the number of 'blow-out' games, keeping fans more invested
It simplifies a complicated conference and group system including finals
Every team will play a home and away game against every team in their tier
Promotion/relegation will add to the number of games with increased importance (attendance/advertisement)
It provides a better structure for Pacific based sides to join, as well as increasing the likelihood that the new teams (Jaguares and Sunwolves) may earn a few more wins, therefore strengthening their corresponding national sides and fan bases.
It prevents the loss of current franchises.
The Cons of the two-tier system
Less local derbies, mainly for non New Zealand sides
Potentially more travel across current conferences
Tell me what you think and if you like this idea, share it!

Six of them were champion skin shards, with one being epic, two were ward shards, and four were champion shards. We also got one gemstone, which shows how hard Hextech Annie is going to be to get. Rerolling three champion skin shards gave me a basic Cowgirl Miss Fortune, so getting big skins that way probably won't be easy.
12/10/2017 · I was so excited to get my Home One to 7* today only to find out that you get 15 lousy shards for completing the event. If you want another go it will cost you 800 more crystals or you can pay 999 crystals for a chance at 10-100 in the store (witch we all know you will most likely just get 10).


the last day of September.
i gave my flyer to a stranger from my college.
i dunno but i liked him.
but i guess we don't have the same level of class.
today went well at work.
i really appreciate rich people who tell me some apology that they cant buy at the moment.
i changed my tone already in my style.
i just want a sale.

Q: Android textview font based on language Is there a general method for handling font like, if it is Chinese I use a custom font for it, if English then I fall back to the default font? Thanks.

A: Here is my 2 cents. You can use Calligraphy library to change the custom font easily either for whole app or for specific TextView as well.

*

*If you want to do it for whole app, then one solution I can think of is:

*

*In your app you can listen to the Broadcast of ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED.

*Inside the listener check to see whether the locale is Locale.SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE or Locale.TRADITIONAL_CHINESE, then change the app's font.

*If you want to programatically change font of lets say partial text then you can use CalligraphyTypefaceSpan as mentioned Multiple Typeface's per TextView / Spannables section:
SpannableStringBuilder sBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder();
sBuilder.append("Hello!") // Bold this
.append("I use Calligraphy"); // Default TextView font.
// Create the Typeface you want to apply to certain text
CalligraphyTypefaceSpan typefaceSpan = new
CalligraphyTypefaceSpan(TypefaceUtils.load(getAssets(), "fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf"));
// Apply typeface to the Spannable 0 - 6 "Hello!" This can of course by dynamic.
sBuilder.setSpan(typefaceSpan, 0, 6, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
setText(sBuilder, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);

Hope it helps.
P.S: I am not affiliated to the library in any way. I am a happy user of it.

Crisis of credibility
1. March 2018 // English
A new report on media groups conclude that the credibility of media companies starts to suffer when their owners demand short-term revenue and stops believing in the media's main mission: to report about the truth.
In 2017 a Spanish foundation called Fundación Compromiso y Transparencia, published the report The Front Page. It analyses the transparency of 20 Spanish media companies and their best practices associated with credibility and independence.
– Without any doubt, the Tinius Trust is one of the best existing practices in terms of how the ownership structure can be engaged in the defense of the values of independence and credibility in media companies, says Javier Martín-Cavanna, the director of Fundación Compromiso y Transparencia.
The report, written by Javier Martín-Cavanna, Elena Herrero-Beaumont and Begoña Morales, is summarized below and available in Spanish here.
The Front Page-rapport outlines clear variables and indicators that may help legacy media to overcome its current crisis of credibility, and to recover it's independence.
The credibility and independence of media companies has never been as questioned and threatened as today. The great temptation is to look at the "external enemies", and take comfort in the idea that the rationale lie outside. But our main claim is that those enemies sometimes lie inside of the media companies. The credibility starts to suffer when the media organizations stops believing in its main mission: to report about the truth.
In order to protect media companies' credibility and independence, owners and journalists need to reflect upon the following questions:
Which methods exist in the newsroom for reporters and writers to verify the sources of information?
How can we protect the independence of journalists from pressures coming from advertisers or managers of the media group?
What sort of training do media employees receive in questions related to ethics?
What internal procedures are in place to secure the compliance of ethical codes and principles?
Which mechanisms exist to manage conflicts of interest with shareholders?
Which channels and procedures exist to satisfy the demands and complaints of readers or people affected by the news published by the outlet?
How does digital transformation impact the rigour and quality of editorial content?
Is media ownership public and transparent?
To what extend are editorial policies public?
The report conclude that five relevant areas directly affect the credibility and independence in media companies: ownership, governance, financial information, production and publishing of editorial content, and compliance.
The Report's main conclusion is that the great majority of the media companies analysed do not disclose relevant information about their owners, their governance and compliance systems, their risk control systems, their self-regulation codes, their mechanisms to manage conflict of interest, etc. More specifically, the report identifies the following (negative) results:
None of the 20 media groups analysed discloses competencies of the Board of Directors related to editorial risks associated with their independence or credibility.
None of them publishes a report where these risks are being identified and managed.
None of them discloses systems to monitor the compliance with policies and procedures that guarantee its credibility and independence.
None of them discloses the training it offers to its employees on these matters.
Only Grupo Vocento discloses information about its advertising revenue in its Sustainability Report, breaking them down by industry sectors and specifying the quantity and percentage of revenues coming from listed companies and public institutions out of the total.
Only Grupo Antena 3, has uploaded on its website both an editorial and an ethics code that include clear editorial guidelines.
Only Grupo Antena 3 discloses partially its branded content policies.
On the basis of the key findings, we outlined a set of recommendations that may help legacy media to recover its independence:
Media groups must pay more attention to their ownership structure, making sure that their main shareholders are truly committed with the mission, vision and values that shall strengthen their group's editorial credibility and independence.
The Board of Directors, either directly or through one of the commissions, must approve and monitor the policies and procedures aimed at protecting the group's credibility and independence.
The Board should approve a report that clearly identifies the risks to the group's credibility and independence, and include a number of policies and procedures to prevent these risks. This report should also include a compliance mechanism that assures accountability.
The manuals of style and editorial codes must specify much more and with more rigour the norms and methods that journalists must follow in order to produce high quality content. We have found very general references in the existing codes when it comes to verification, freedom of expression, treatment of sources, etc., which are difficult to comply with and guarantee.
The Spanish media organizations should address with urgency a transparency and branded content policy.
There aren't news standards divisions or specific training in Spanish media groups that monitor and safeguard the compliance with editorial and ethics codes.
The Front Page shows that ownership is the biggest threat to credibility and independence.
We strongly believe that media companies need majority owners who is committed to editorial and ethical values. This is the only possible strategy for the transformation of the legacy media in a digital context of weakened Western democracies.
The Front Page and the published summary is written by Javier Martín-Cavanna, Elena Herrero-Beaumont and Begoña Morales.

How Brexit Will Affect the Manufacturing Industry
Posted on July 12, 2018 by European Springs Web Team
Since the UK voted to leave, Brexit has been an inevitable topic of conversation across numerous industries. With a disconcerting degree of uncertainty in what the future holds for various business sectors, many within the manufacturing industry are wondering how it will affect daily operations.
Manufacturing contributes greatly to the UK's gross domestic product, accounting for 5% of businesses and contributing £169 billion – that's almost 10% of the UK economy! Although Brexit will undoubtedly impact manufacturing, is it possible to predict exactly how much?
Here are some of the predicted changes, as well as a look at how the manufacturing industry is already being impacted.
What Does Brexit Mean?
Simply put, Brexit is the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union. It has been two years since the UK voted to leave the EU, with the official date of commencement proceedings scheduled for 29th March 2019.
As 55% of our imported goods are traded with the EU, the move will have a considerable impact on the UK economy.
Over the last several months, terms such as a 'hard' and 'soft' Brexit have been bandied about in the media. In its simplest form, a soft Brexit means that the UK will continue to have close ties with the EU. Even after leaving the customs union, we would still remain in the single market, retaining the free trade agreement (FTA), similar to what Norway has.
Hard Brexit, on the other hand, means that the UK will move further away from the EU, and will cut all main ties with the European Union, making any trade deals much more unlikely, if available at all.
The Changes So Far
Changes are to be expected across all industries.
In May 2017, the UK became bottom of the G7 Growth League, where we registered a growth of just 0.2%.
On the other hand, there have also been positive changes since the landmark vote happened. Whereas many assumed that the worst scenarios would hit the UK immediately, in actual fact the opposite happened, with the UK economy estimated to have grown 1.8% in 2016.
This, unfortunately, does not appear to be the case in the automotive industry, where uncertainty about Brexit has already put thousands of jobs at risk, making them one of the most vulnerable industrial sectors. One of the main reasons behind this is that investors are now choosing to go elsewhere in Europe due to increased costs.
How Will this Affect the Manufacturing Industry?
Research suggests that the impact of Brexit within the UK could trigger a downward spiral in UK GDP growth. On the other hand, many believe Brexit will make UK manufacturing more profitable. EU membership is a beneficial factor, with prices of manufacturers in the UK domestic market falling by 20%. This would increase competition which in turn would push productivity higher across the economy.
There are further positive factors to consider once Brexit takes effect. The UK will no longer be constrained by existing regulations, after leaving the EU. This means the UK may have more freedom in the market, gaining potentially better tariffs for trade, which could ultimately help boost manufacturing.
Although this is a tough time for the UK manufacturing industry as it prepares for change, it's important to remember that we have already seen some of the positive benefits of Brexit.
As spring manufacturers, we at European Springs Ireland believe that we can continue to be one of the leading figures in the field of springs and high-speed press technology. Although it is uncertain what the future holds for the UK manufacturing industry, there are still numerous opportunities for the UK to move forward.

Flogging Molly release new single 'This Road Of Mine,' start European tour
Flogging Molly, who recently announced the impending release of their first new album in five years, 'Anthem,' out on September 9th via Rise Records, have previewed a new track from the 11-song collection, releasing 'This Road of Mine' this morning.
A nod to the band's, and particularly singer/guitar player Dave King's, unique history, 'This Road of Mine' is, as King says, about taking your own path: "We've always done things the way we want to do it." Plucked from obscurity, and the hopelessness of Dublin's Tenement Row, King was hand-picked by Motörhead's "Fast" Eddie Clarke in 1983 for Clarke's new band, Fastway. King has often shared the ups and downs he experienced in the years that followed.
With Fastway imploding in the wake of grunge, King was free to create his own vision, but along the way, he spent days scrubbing toilets and painting houses as he performed nearly nightly at the Los Angeles club, and Flogging Molly's namesake, Molly Malone's. Now, 25 years later, the band's unique concoction of traditional Irish music and modern punk rock, has seen them perform with The Rolling Stones, featured on several stints of the Warped Tour, birth the annual, and always sold-out, Salty Dog Cruise, and host their yearly, Los Angeles-based St. Patrick's Day Festival.
King further explains the sentiment behind 'This Road of Mine:' "At the time I was writing these lyrics I was wondering if we were going to be able to continue to tour and make music again. Whether you're a plumber or a carpenter or a musician, we all had the rug pulled out from underneath us and there are certainly elements of that on the album.

Produce manager Frank Pumphrey shows two heads of puntarelle, a funny-looking salad choice in the Trail grocer's produce aisle. (Sheri Regnier photo)
An 'endive' into the leafy goodness of the chicory family
Trail Ferraro Foods manager sheds light on strange-looking salad choice in produce aisle
Trail Ferraro Foods is well known for bringing in a wide array of local and exotic food choices throughout the year.
The grocer's seemingly endless stock of interesting, sometimes hard to find, high quality foodstuff draws countless shoppers from near and far to its downtown Trail locale.
But this latest one housed in the produce aisle — a bright green, spiky-looking, and heavy head of mystery — had a number of patrons stumped over the holidays.
The Trail Times asked produce manager Frank Pumphrey to shed some light on this intriguing-looking food choice, as well as how it should be prepared and eaten.
He said the product in question is called "puntarelle," and it is a member of the endive family.
Also known as "cicoria di catalogna" or "cicoria asparago," it is a variant of the chicory family, which includes endive, escarole, radicchio, and frisee.
The heads are characterized by an elongated shape (about 40 to 50 cm), light green stems, and dandelion-shaped leaves.
Puntarelle shoots are described as having a pleasantly bitter taste.
Frank says to cut off the tips of the stems that have browned, then thinly slice the shoots to toss in with other greens.
"Because they are a member of the endive family, it is bitter-tasting, but good when mixed with other (lettuces), " he said.
Puntarelle heads are picked when they are young and tender and may be eaten raw or cooked.
Often used as a traditional ingredient in the Roman salad called by the same name, they are prepared with the leaves stripped and the shoots soaked in cold water until they curl.
The salad is served with a prepared dressing of anchovy, garlic, vinegar, and salt pounded and emulsified with olive oil.

The eroding Medusae Fossae Formation (NASA/JPL/University of Arizona)
Scientists Have Finally Figured Out The Mysterious Source of All Mars' Dust
PETER DOCKRILL
Conditions on Mars are not forgiving. Just ask the Opportunity rover. Oh, you can't. It's been forced into a drastic hibernation by deadly dust storms so intense they've engulfed the entire planet.
During the intrepid explorer's shutdown, scientists announced the discovery of something amazing: a massive water lake hidden under the Martian ice. But across the surface, everything is dirty, dry, and covered in layers of this never-ending dust – and now we finally know where it all comes from.
Mars is a rocky place. On Earth, dust is lifted from rock by natural forces of erosion, such as the movement of wind, streams of water, volcanic activity, and the movement of glaciers.
But on Mars, things like water and glacial activity are at a minimum, and other phenomena that could separate particles of rock – such as meteorite impacts – would create coarser fragments, not the fine powder that's choking Opportunity as we speak.
"How does Mars make so much dust," asks planetary scientist Lujendra Ojha from Johns Hopkins University, "because none of these processes are active on Mars?"
We now have our answer.
A new analysis by Ojha and fellow researchers reveals that a mysterious geological region on the Red Planet is what's behind this churning mass of dust.
How much dust? It's an estimated 3 trillion kilograms displaced between the surface and atmosphere of Mars each year.
That's a lot of dust, and the team think almost all of it stems from the mysterious Medusae Fossae Formation, a deposit the ESA once described as "an extensive unit of enigmatic origin".
Enigmatic, yes, and seemingly not long for this world (or Mars, more to the point).
"Mars wouldn't be nearly this dusty if it wasn't for this one enormous deposit that is gradually eroding over time and polluting the planet," says one of the team, planetary geophysicist Kevin Lewis.
NASA discovered the 1,000-kilometre-long (about 620 miles) geological formation back in the 1960s, but it was only much more recently that scientists learned the feature is of volcanic origin – which means that it's the largest known volcanic deposit in our entire Solar System.
Even more amazingly, the Medusae Fossae Formation used to be much, much bigger, but its lightweight, porous composition – vulnerable to erosion over billions of years – means this Medusa is a ghost of her former self.
The team identified the formation as the dust culprit by matching the chemical composition of Martian dust to readings of the Medusae Fossae Formation taken by the NASA spacecraft Mars Odyssey.
"Dust everywhere on the planet is enriched in sulfur and chlorine and it has this very distinct sulfur-to-chlorine ratio," Ojha explains.
It turns out that tell-tale chemical signature is shared by the MFF, which scientists think was once as large as approximately 50 percent of the area of the United States.
These days, it's only about 20 percent – like we said at the top, conditions on Mars are not forgiving.
According to the team's calculations, that epic reduction of volcanic rock over the course of about 3 billion years would equate to a thick global layer of Martian dust, coating the Red Planet's surface in a dust deluge that's between 2 to 12 metres (about 7 to 40 ft) thick.
Earth has its own pollution problems, of course, but when it comes to dust, the Red Planet takes the cake.
The findings are reported in Nature Communications.

Rack and pinion steering systems help your vehicle move in the correct direction when you turn the wheel. The system works by turning the wheels as the pinion gear on the end of the steering shaft moves along the teeth on the rack. The system has a simplistic design that is usually fairly simple to repair if any issues arise.
While the system itself is easy to maintain, you do need to ensure that your steering rack fluid remains at an ideal level to prevent the moving parts from binding up. Adequate fluid levels also keep the teeth on the pinion gear and rack from wearing down due to excessive friction.
Rack & pinion steering issues often present themselves with a change in the way the vehicle feels as you drive down the road. You might notice the steering feels loose or possibly binds at a certain point during the turn. You may also notice that your steering pulls far to the left or right while moving down smooth roadways.
When you bring your vehicle into an auto repair center, your technician will perform a full inspection to pinpoint components in need of maintenance or repair.
Components usually suspected of causing problems associated with the rack and pinion steering include the ball joints, control arms, tie rods, coupler, knuckle and pump. Technicians will also check the rack mounting hardware to make sure it remains at spec for a solid fit. In many cases, several of these problems will require attention at the same time to bring your steering back into proper alignment.
If technicians notice damage to the rack and pinion components, you may need the entire system replaced using new parts. Technicians may also discuss replacement of the fluid lines at the same time to ensure the system remains lubricated and ready to drive at a moment's notice. The certified technicians at your local Meineke Car Care Center can perform a 23-point inspection to fully evaluate what your vehicle needs.

THIS SHELTER restores native forests.
The Little Innovative Kit of Albizia [LIKA] prototype is now being exhibited at the University of Hawaiʻi, Mānoa campus next to the School of Architecture. The kit for this outdoor recreational structure is now available for purchase to support our mission for invasive species removal and native ecosystem restoration in Hawaiʻi.
We collected unwanted albizia wood from several removal projects on Oʻahu, including Lyon Arboretum, U.S. Army Schofield Barracks, and H-2 Mililani.
Multi-sector collaboration has opened up the possibility to offer a system of all local resources from building materials to prefabrication.
R&D testing of structural members was performed at UH Mānoa Structures Lab and has proven that albizia can be a viable construction material for Hawaiʻi.
The prototype structure was built at full scale as proof of concept and is on display at the University of Hawai'i, Mānoa campus for 2018-2019.
Hawaiʻi grown albizia is the fastest growing tree species in the world and has been spreading across the Hawaiian Islands for over a century. It has caused a vast amount of damage to houses, roads, public infrastructure, and is a major threat to native ecosystems.
Let's turn the problem into a solution.

Orin Glenn Troutman (født 24. oktober 1934, død 18. marts 2022), kendt under kunstnernavnet som Glen Glenn var en amerikansk rockabilly-sanger fra USA. Han begyndte sin karriere i begyndelsen af 1950'erne.

I begyndelsen af 1950'erne dannede han en duo med guitaristen Gary Lambert, kaldet The Missouri Mountain Boys, der spillede countrymusik i barer i Los Angeles.  De fik optræden på lokale tv-stationer, hvor de mødte sangeren og guitaristen Eddie Cochran, den influere på duoen. Troutman skiftede navn til Glen Trout og indspillede flere demo'er, ofte uden Lambert. I slutnignen af 1957 fik han pladekontrakt med Era Records i Los Angeles, og han skiftede navn til Glen Glenn. Den første single udkom i januar 1958, "Everybody's Movin'"/"I'm Glad My Baby's Gone".

Han blev indkaldt til hæren og Era Records udgav fortat pladerne, men han kunne ikke markedsføre dem. Efter udstået militærtjeneste skftede han til Dore Records og indspillede et mere pop-orienteret materiale uden den store succes. I 1977 udsendte det britiske Ace Records en samling af hans rockabilyindspilninger i Storbritannien, hvilket genoplivede hans karriere. Han indspillede et nyt album med Lambert i 1984 og optrådte på klubber i Californien og lejlighedsvist i Europa.

Han døde den 18. marts 2022.

These Healthier Chocolate Chip cookies are my favorite!
When you bake cookies as often as we do, it's nice to know that you are serving your family (and yourself) a healthier version of your favorite recipe.
My favorite tip for cookies: Make a batch, then freeze the dough. Then, every day, scoop out & bake just enough for the day. I will make 4 cookies around 2:00 in the afternoon, so our kids have warm cookies when they come home from school. They love it! When they have friends over, I scoop out & bake a lot more (or I just make another batch).
It doesn't call for too many ingredients, and they are really simple to make.
Grind oats in a blender or food processor.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat butter until fluffy.
To the butter, add oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla; beat until creamy.
Add the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined.
Our kids love when I add extra chocolate chips to half of the batch… I make one tray and then add chocolate chips before baking another tray.
Next, drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, 1 inch apart, onto the greased baking sheets.
You'll want to bake cookies until firm around the edges and golden on top, about 12-14 minutes. I keep a close eye on them to be sure that they don't burn.
I hope that you enjoy that recipe as much as we do.
It is just a way that our family bonds in the kitchen, taking turns, learning math and science in our real-life baking experiments. The kids love the way that the house smells when they come home from school to find a fresh batch of cookies in the oven!
Trust me… these cookies are good (and the kids won't realize that they are made with oatmeal).
They are definitely worth making!
This is my favorite cookie recipe! These Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies only have 80 calories per cookie and this cookie is much healthier than most & we love it!
Step #1- Grind oats in a blender or food processor. Add flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step #2- In a separate bowl, beat butter until fluffy. To the butter, add oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla; beat until creamy.
Add the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Add chocolate chips.
Step #3- Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, 1 inch apart, onto the greased baking sheets.
I made these today. They are great. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for the good recipe, I am always looking for healthy and tasty cookies to serve in the shop.
Aww, thanks, Anna! Aren't they good? I can't stop eating them, but with 4 kids… no one has to know that its me eating the majority of them! haha!!
These look yummy! Can you tell me how many cookies one batch usually makes? Thanks!
They are SO good, but I normally double my recipe to get enough for my family of 6. The regular batch only makes about two dozen, I'd say.
Could you substitute banana and apple sauce for the oil and butter?
I am making these and just going to add the chocolate chips. But my mix is very dry and crumbly. What did I do wrong?
What is 1 T. Of wheat germ. Is that 1 tablespoon or 1 teaspoon?
Have you ever tried this recipe without grinding up the oats?
I probably have at some point, simply because I'm sure that I forgot. 🙂 I'm sure it would be fine either way.
What does T. in the recipe line above stand for? Thanks. Looking forward to trying this recipe out.


I had too many problems in my mind. Anger, fear and even guilt. I could not come to terms with many things in life. I wrote to Guruji and got Alpha Music Therapy by mail. I heard it only 3 times. Today my mind is much more peaceful and i am able to meditate and feel calm. This is invaluable to me. Guruji has saved my life. Million thanks Guruji!
