Women's Hockey: BU, Harvard Square Off in Consolation, BC – NU Look for Title
by David Souza
By: David Souza
The last time Boston University and Harvard did battle in the Beanpot, the Crimson earned a lopsided 9-2 victory on opening night en route to their fourteenth tournament title. One year later the teams are back in action, only this time in the consolation game as they look to keep themselves relevant in the national spotlight.
Last week the Crimson fell victim to the Boston College Eagles, who moved on to the championship game in stunning fashion with an 8-0 drubbing of their foes from Cambridge. The result was even more surprising as senior goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer, one of the nation's top goalies, was pulled in favor of Brianna Laing after allowing 5 goals in the first period. Exemplifying how good Maschmeyer truly is, the Alberta native's save percentage is still 5th in the nation at .944.
A week off since their last game, the Terriers will be welcoming a Harvard squad that has played two games since their loss to the Eagles, a tie to Brown and a 4-1 win over rival Yale. Harvard's recent lull will have to come to an end if they hope to vault themselves back into the Top 10 conversation.
The Terriers, on the other hand, found themselves in a hard fought battle against the Northeastern Huskies last Tuesday night, before ultimately falling 3-2. Alexis Crossley's goal with just under two minutes remaining in regulation sparked a frantic BU push, but they were unable to net the equalizer.
The scarlet and white will be looking to their second line triad of Maddie Elia, Rebecca Russo, and Rebecca Leslie to be a spark for the offense as they square off against the 7th best defense in the country. Leslie, who assisted on both BU goals against Northeastern, is currently the team leader in points with 38. Her 30 assists are good for fourth best in college hockey. Her classmate and countryman Victoria Bach leads the Terriers in goals with 17. If they hope to best a goaltender that backstopped the Crimson to the National Championship Game, BU will have to be firing on all cylinders.
Prediction: BU continues its solid play and beats Harvard 4-1.
In the championship game, the Eagles of Boston College will battle the Huskies of Northeastern for the third time this season. In their previous matchups the Eagles were the victors by scores of 4-2 and 6-1. All of BC's combined 10 goals came from different sources, save for a pair of goals by Kenzie Kent and Tori Sullivan. While the Eagles' top scorers of Alex Carpenter, Haley Skarupa, and McKenna Newkirk are lethal threats every time they touch the ice, it is BC's depth that has truly allowed them to skate to a 29-0-0 record. For when teams send out their top defensive pairings against the likes of Carpenter, it forces the second or even third duos to try and slow down the Eagles' equally potent second line.
Backstopping it all is Katie Burt, the sophomore from Lynn, Massachusetts. While Burt has been stellar in her career at the Heights, she has failed to win the big game, much like her teammates. If she is to truly exorcise the demons of years past, she will have to win under pressure, starting with the Beanpot.
In the Eagles way stands Kendall Coyne and the Huskies. Coyne leads the nation in both goals and points with 39 and 68 respectively. If she wants to lead Northeastern to their first Beanpot since 2013, she will have to be at the top of her game. Coyne's scoring is the focal point of her game, but her playmaking abilities also give her another level of depth. Coyne has the ability to set her teammates up, a big reason for big scoring outbursts from the likes of sophomore Denisa Krizova and junior Hayley Scamurra.
Freshman Brittany Bugalski has been impressive in her own right in net this season. She has shown up for big challenges for the Huskies, but this will truly be her biggest test thus far in her young career.
Prediction: The Eagles get over the hump and win their 6th Beanpot title, but have to wait until overtime to do so, 3-2.

2020 Global Market Outlook: New Heroes Needed
Jeffrey Kleintop
CFA, Senior Vice President, Chief Global Investment Strategist
Jeff specializes in analyzing international market trends and their financial implications. He's frequently cited in a range of national media outlets including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. He has an MBA from Pennsylvania State University.
Submitted by Site Factory admin on December 9, 2019
In 2020, global economic growth may depend on comprehensive trade deals and fiscal stimulus rather than actions by central bankers to reverse last year's slowdown in manufacturing and business investment.
Unlike 2019's above average performance for all asset classes, markets in 2020 may offer more of a challenge for investors with the potential for reversals in long-term relative performance trends which could catch investors by surprise.
Consider rebalancing back to long-term asset allocation targets to take advantage of potential reversals of long-term asset trends and the desynchronization of global markets' performance, which may help manage portfolio volatility.
Below is Jeffrey Kleintop's full 2020 outlook for global stocks and the economy. For more, you can read his previously published summary outlook, as well as the complete 2020 Schwab Market Outlook.
2020 follows an unprecedented year for markets
Like in the fictional hometown of Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, where all the children are above average, 2019 is the "Lake Wobegon" of years for investors. All asset classes are above average. But in the real world, it is unusual to have cyclical assets (which tend to perform best when the economy is improving), like stocks and commodities, deliver above average returns alongside defensive assets, like gold and government bonds (which tend to perform best when the economy is weakening). In fact, it's never happened before.
2019: all asset classes were above average
Source: Charles Schwab, Factset data as of 11/29/2019. Asset class performance in US dollars represented by the following indexes: S&P 500 Index (US Large Cap Stocks), Russell 2000 Index (US Small Cap Stocks), MSCI EAFE Index (International Stocks), MSCI Emerging Market Index (Emerging Market Stocks), MSCI US REIT Index (US REIT), S&P GSCI (Commodities), Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Inflation-Linked Bond Index (TIPS), Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (US Bonds), Bloomberg US High Yield Index (High Yield Bonds), NYMEX Gold near term contract close (Gold).
Why did we see such unprecedented performance across markets in 2019? The year didn't see any improvement in the global growth of trade, manufacturing, the economy or earnings. But as central banks shifted to interest rate cuts in 2019, investors drove up valuations for international stocks and other assets, believing that central bankers, these "Guardians of the Economy," possess superpowers to defeat any threat to the global economy.
But unlike characters in the Marvel movies that set box office records in 2019, central bankers actually only have one power—to ease financial conditions, primarily through lower interest rates (also see Does The Return Of QE Mean Big Gains For Stocks In 2020?). However, high interest rates aren't the problem we are fighting right now. For example, Germany was on the cusp of recession in 2019, yet interest rates were below zero. Investors may have misplaced their confidence in the Guardians. The real heroes in 2020 may be trade deals and fiscal policies.
New heroes are needed in 2020
Unless global growth reaccelerates, international stocks may remain stuck within the volatile range of the past two years, given their high sensitivity to economic conditions. In 2020, growth may depend on comprehensive trade deals and fiscal stimulus to reverse the 2019 slowdown in manufacturing and business investment. If tariffs are not lifted before businesses cut jobs, it may undermine the consumer spending that is supporting the world's economy.
The composite leading indicator (CLI) for the world economy produced by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is pointing to trouble. The OECD sees 100 as an important level: above 100, growth is accelerating, below 100, growth is slowing. But, we find 99 to be a more important threshold. Historically, a drop below 99 seems to happen right around the start of a global recession: in early 2008, early 2001, in late-1990, late 1981, mid-1974, and mid-1970, as you can see in the chart below. The latest reading is 99.1.
Global leading economic indicator nearing important threshold
Source: Charles Schwab, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, as of 11/29/2019.
The world's major developed economies, known as the Group of Seven (G7), all have CLIs very close to 99 (ranging from 99.4 to 98.7), reflecting the potential for a global recession.
But a recession is not inevitable. The global slowdown which began in manufacturing, has recently shown signs of stabilization. The widely-watched global manufacturing purchasing managers' index ended 15 months in a row of declines and posted four back-to-back months of improvement as 2019 matured. The declines began the month the U.S. and China both put the first round of trade tariffs on each other in 2018. Hopes that we are nearing an end to the trade war may be helping lift manufacturing sentiment.
Signs of improvement in manufacturing
Source: Charles Schwab, Markit data as of 12/6/2019.
If the manufacturing sector fails to recover, those countries with economies that are most dependent upon manufacturing may be the most vulnerable to a recession. These include some of the world's largest economies, as you can see in the table below. Likewise, if manufacturing were to rebound, these countries may be the most positively impacted.
World's most vulnerable?
Source: Charles Schwab, World Bank most recent annual data as of 12/8/2019.
List of economies with GDP larger than $200 billion.
Although the services sector of the global economy is larger, the manufacturing sector tends to be a good indicator of profit growth in the quarters ahead. Earnings per share growth for global companies in the MSCI World Index dipped below zero in the third quarter of 2019. This deteriorating profit outlook may have contributed to business leaders' increasingly cautious outlook. Most CFOs surveyed in the latest Duke CFO Global Business Outlook poll see a recession starting sometime next year, with more than half of them seeing a recession by the U.S. election, as you can see in the chart below.
Weak CFO confidence
Source: Charles Schwab, Duke CFO magazine survey cfosurvey.org data as of September 2019
Debating the accuracy of their forecast is less important than actions CFOs are taking in response to this outlook. For example, the survey also shows that CFOs are pulling back on business investment plans for the coming 12 months. The growth rate of business spending on equipment has already turned negative in many economies. Fortunately, businesses have not yet cut back on labor. Employment is consistently strong across economies as different as Canada and China. Remarkably, strength in the labor market can be seen even where the global economy is weakest; employment is at an all-time high in the German manufacturing sector. This labor market resilience has supported the consumer spending that has kept the global economy from sliding into a broad recession.
Consumer confidence is as high in Europe as it is in the United States, as you can see in the chart below. It may seem like a good thing that consumer confidence is high. After all, a strong consumer drives the economy of the U.S. and Europe. Rising confidence from a low level indicates consumers are helping to drive improvement in the economy. But, when confidence is already high, it may mean consumer spending has little room to run and could be vulnerable to slowing. A sudden rise in layoffs could undermine the current confidence, now at levels that preceded prior recessions.
Strong consumer confidence
Source: Charles Schwab, Bloomberg data as of 12/5/2019.
Historically, when demand softened employers reduced output through job cuts—especially in manufacturing industries where excess inventories are costly to maintain and weigh on pricing. Today, unsold inventory has been growing in most major countries. The world's three largest developed economies highlight the growing global stockpiles: in the U.S. the inventory of durable goods is growing at a near 5% pace, the orders-to-inventory ratio remains below 1.0 in Japan, and the IFO inventory assessment in Germany has recently hit the highest level since the financial crisis.
Without a trade deal, the heightened tensions that have contributed to the slowdown in demand may not ease. If no deal can be reached between the U.S. and China in the coming months businesses may finally begin to cut back on labor, undermining the key support for the global economy. We continue to monitor trade developments closely, as jobs may depend on it.
Although hard to assess with any precision, the odds of a comprehensive trade deal that revives global growth in 2020 are not zero. After all, there were some major trade deals in 2019. Lost in the escalating trade tensions with China is the fact that the U.S. now has trade deals signed or pending with Japan, South Korea, Canada and Mexico, making up four of the U.S.'s top seven trading partners, accounting for a combined 60% of U.S. trade.
Some major trade deals were reached in 2019
Source: Charles Schwab, U.S. Census Bureau data for 2018 as of 12/5/2019.
Note that U.S. trade with both Canada and Mexico was nearly as large as U.S.-China trade in 2018. This year could see those levels exceed U.S.-China trade, which has seen a sharp pullback. Looking ahead to 2020, a post-Brexit deal between the U.S. and the U.K. may be coming, along with a deal between the U.S. and Europe tied to autos.
Monetary policymakers at the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of Japan appear to be on hold heading into 2020, after each lowered interest rates in 2019. The leaders of these central banks have been insisting that fiscal policymakers enact stimulus though stepped-up government spending or tax cuts, both made easier by these low interest rates. Starting around this year's annual gathering of central bankers and finance ministers in Jackson Hole, WY in August, the list of countries focusing on fiscal stimulus for 2020 is growing.
The budget submissions for the Eurozone point to a potential overall fiscal boost of 0.3% to 0.4% of GDP, which could translate into faster GDP growth of 0.2% to 0.3%. While these numbers may seem small, this boost could make the difference between slow growth and a recession, with economies like Germany reporting quarterly GDP growth of +/-0.1% in the past two quarters. Also, these estimates are not far from the estimated 0.3% effect on GDP from the United States' 2018 tax cut, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. If more countries jump on the fiscal stimulus bandwagon, it may prove more effective at stimulating growth than additional rate cuts by the central banks.
The economic and earnings outlook for 2020 may depend on how soon might a potential cutback on labor by businesses, as demand continues to fade and unsold inventories pile up, be rescued by a trade deal and/or fiscal stimulus.
What we're watching in 2020
We can sum up our growth outlook with these key developments we will be watching most closely in 2020:
With headwinds from the trade-led slump in output and investment having unequal impacts around the world, recession in some countries is possible. A broad global recession could occur if the manufacturing slowdown spreads to jobs and consumers.
An end to the U.S.-China trade war could help to reverse business uncertainty and unleash investment.
Government fiscal policy—such as tax cuts or increased spending—may become more important as central bank monetary policy has become less effective in boosting economic growth.
A year of surprises?
The year ahead is unlikely to mirror 2019's above average performance for all asset classes. Instead, markets may offer more of a challenge for investors with the potential for reversals in long-term relative performance trends which could catch many investors by surprise. It has been over a decade since we have seen a change in relative performance, with some investors having never seen an environment with different leadership.
The yield curve inverts when the yield on the 3-month U.S. Treasury exceeds the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury. Many investors focus on this historically negative signal for the overall stock market, as inversions have typically preceded economic recessions. But, the opportunities signaled by a yield curve inversion deserve just as much attention. Inversions often mark a reversal in long-term market performance trends as leaders and laggards change places. Examining the relative performance of growth and value stocks, large and small cap stocks, and U.S. and international stocks we can see that reversals in long-term trends were often marked by inversions in the U.S. yield curve. In 2020, new leadership by value, large-cap and international stocks may follow 2019's inversion.
Growth to value?
The chart below depicts long-term relative performance trends of growth and value stocks. When the blue line is rising, growth is outperforming value and when the orange line is rising, value is outperforming growth. The shaded areas are periods of when the U.S. yield curve was inverted.
Changes in growth and value performance trends around yield curve inversions
Shaded areas mark periods when the U.S. yield curve was inverted (3 month to 10 year)
Source: Charles Schwab, Factset data as of 12/5/2019.
Notice that the periods when the yield curve was inverted fell very close to the reversals in the longer-term trend of relative performance between growth and value stocks.
In July 2000, the yield curve began to invert about four months after the March 2000 peak in the long-term trend of growth outperformance as value began to outperform.
At about the mid-point of the yield curve inversion that began in August 2006, the reversal began in the long-term trend of relative performance as growth stocks started to outperform value stocks beginning in January 2007.
Small to large cap?
The reversal in long-term relative performance around yield curve inversions can be seen in large and small cap stocks composing the MSCI EAFE Index. When the blue line is rising, large capitalization stocks are outperforming small capitalization stocks and when the orange line is rising, small caps are outperforming. Here again, the shaded areas are periods when the U.S. yield curve was inverted.
Changes in large and small cap performance trends around yield curve inversions
The periods of inversion in the yield curve fell very close to the reversals in the longer-term trend of relative performance between large and small cap international developed stocks.
In July 2000, the yield curve began to invert about six months after the long-term trend in relative outperformance by large cap stocks ended in December 1999 as small cap stocks began to outperform over the following six years.
In August 2006, the yield curve inverted about four months after the reversal in the long-term trend of relative performance as large cap stocks began to outperform small cap stocks. That outperformance trend continued until August 2008 when small caps resumed their trend of outperformance (perhaps signaled by the re-inversion of the yield curve in August 2007 after temporarily becoming upward sloping).
U.S. to international?
For the reversal of long-term relative performance around yield curve inversions for U.S. and international stocks, we look at the MSCI USA and MSCI EAFE Indexes. When the blue line is rising, international stocks are outperforming U.S. stocks. When the orange line is rising, U.S. stocks are outperforming international stocks. We took the chart back to the early 1980s to show a cycle where international stocks outperformed U.S. stocks to a similar degree that U.S. stocks have outperformed international stocks since the last yield curve inversion. Again, the shaded areas are periods when the U.S. yield curve was inverted.
Changes in U.S. and international performance trends around yield curve inversions
The periods of inversion fell near the reversals in the longer-term trend of relative performance between U.S. and international stocks.
In June of 1989, the yield curve began to invert, marking the start of a shift away from international stock outperformance towards U.S. stocks.
In July 2000, the yield curve began to invert as the momentum was shifting away from U.S. stocks toward international stocks, although the definitive change in trend didn't happen until January 2002.
In October 2007, the yield curve inversion that began in August 2006 came to an end and appeared to mark the reversal of the long-term trend of relative performance with U.S. stocks starting to outperform international stocks.
Since the yield curve again inverted in 2019, it is possible the long-term trends in relative performance are again nearing a reversal, potentially signaling shifts to outperformance by value, large cap, and international stocks in 2020.
The track record of the inversion of the yield curve as a signal of a potential bear market and recession on the horizon may have some investors focused on preparing for a more difficult market environment. When markets get difficult, investors often instinctively seek to concentrate their portfolio on what had been leading and eliminate what had been lagging. That instinct might limit investors from seeing opportunity as the yield curve inverts and signals the potential for a reversal in the leaders and laggards.
Resisting the emotional response to difficult markets by maintaining exposure to the laggards through portfolio rebalancing may offer the opportunity to benefit from the potential for a reversal in relative performance trends. It is worth noting that compared to the past 20 years, global stock markets are becoming less synchronized with each other, suggesting a globally diversified portfolio may provide effective management of market volatility.
Stock markets are moving less in tandem heading into 2020 than for most of 2000s
Daily one-year rolling correlation of one month percentage change in MSCI indexes for countries in G20 and Spain.
Source: Charles Schwab, Macrobond, MSCI data as of 12/8/2019.
Measured statistically, the broad trend in correlation between stock markets of the Group of 20 nations (plus Spain, which is a quasi-member), that together make up 80% of world GDP, peaked in 2011 and has since fallen back to levels not seen in 20 years. This lower correlation was sustained even during the sharp stock market drop in the fourth quarter of 2018. Improved risk-reducing benefits from lower correlations may mean a more diversified portfolio—including both U.S. and international stocks, rather than a concentrated domestic portfolio, may benefit investors in 2020.
Key investing takeaways for 2020
We can sum up our investment outlook with a few key takeaways:
International stock valuations are below long-term averages, reflecting 2019's lackluster global growth and fears of potential weakness ahead. As international stocks tend to be more economically sensitive and manufacturing-based than U.S. stocks, they may offer more upside potential should growth reaccelerate.
Consider rebalancing back to long-term asset allocation targets. Historically, long-term asset class trends have tended to reverse following yield curve inversions—that is, when short-term yields are higher than long-term yields—as happened in 2019.
Global stock markets currently are less likely to move in tandem than they did in the past. This lower correlation may make broad global diversification across long-term allocation targets more rewarding than holding a narrowly focused portfolio.

Philip L. Carret was born in 1896, the only child of a lawyer and a social worker. Although his parents had a good income, they weren't very adept at managing money and Carret decided at the age of 16 that "if I were ever to gain wealth, it would have to be by my own efforts", according to his book, A Money Mind at 90. In 1924, aged 28, he started to invest money for family and friends, who saw that he had a knack for finding winning stocks. He frequently ignored Wall Street analysts and researched companies himself, reading extensively. Frank Betz, who was Carret's personal assistant in the Eighties, recalled that he read voraciously – not just corporate reports and newspapers but also books on philosophy, history, economics and biographies. Carret claimed to glean the most useful information from the detailed footnotes appended to corporate annual reports.
Although his first job in finance was as a bond salesman, he became a journalist in 1922, writing for Barron's, a new weekly financial magazine owned by Clarence W Barron, considered the founder of modern financial journalism. Carret was one of the first to write about "value investing" in a series of Barron's articles in 1927. He developed this concept in his 1930 book The Art of Speculation, where his "12 commandments for speculators" first appeared . A chance conversation and America's first stock market fund It was while he was working as a journalist that Carret heard by chance about plans for the first "open-ended" stock market fund in the US, the Massachusetts Investors Trust.
Founded with $50,000 in 1924, the trust still exists, although it now has assets of $3.4bn (£2.6bn). The story goes that one of the trust's founders, L Sherman Adams, visited the Barron's office one day and Carret couldn't help overhearing him describe his idea for a new investment company. Inspired by this, in 1928 Carret put his own ideas into action and founded the Pioneer Fund. This spawned Pioneer Investments, now a giant global fund management firm. Among the fund's first investments were blue-chip shares such as Maytag, a washing machine maker, and Firestone Tire & Rubber. But it was a bad year to start a fund: the 1929 crash and the Great Depression soon followed and an investment of $1,000 in the fund in 1929 would have been worth just $470 by 1932.
After that shaky start, Carret steered the fund consistently upwards through the Great Depression and the Second World War and his career ultimately encompassed a total of 31 bull markets, 30 bear markets and 20 recessions.
His fund was also among the first US portfolios to invest internationally. In 1963 he founded Carret & Company (now Carret Asset Management), which provides investment services to wealthy individuals. Carret sold his stake in the firm in 1988 but continued to work there, without a salary, for three days a week until his death.
So which shares did he actually buy?
A good example was Greif Bros Cooperage Corporation, which Carret bought on the recommendation of Howard Buffett in 1946 and held for 48 years.

I am grateful to the authors and illustrators who agreed to be interviewed for this website, and to all copyright holders, including publishers, who granted permission for material to be reproduced here. A special thank you to Ian Beck, who was the very first interviewee, and whose generous spirit set the tone for the whole project.
The volunteer staff at the Twickenham Museum suggested several useful contacts. The museum's website also features information about local writers. Many of the books featured here are, of course, available in Richmond upon Thames Libraries; staff in branches throughout the borough were helpful. In particular, I would like to thank Jane Baxter and her team in Richmond's Local Studies Collection for retrieving huge and exciting files of information about relevant past authors and illustrators, and Joss Green of the Young People's Library Service, Richmond Libraries, for suggesting a number of more recent and contemporary names.
The extremely knowledgeable booksellers at The Lion & Unicorn Bookshop in Richmond and at Langton's Bookshop in Twickenham (which closed, alas, in 2012) also suggested children's books and authors with local connections.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 30 cupcake cups with paper liners.
To make the shortbread cookie crust, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Add the flour and salt with the mixer on low, mix until just combined.
Spoon about a tablespoon of the cookie dough into each cupcake cup. Using a pastry tamper or your fingers, press the mixture down to form an even crust.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookie is just starting to turn slightly golden brown. Be sure not to overbake because the cookie will continue to bake while the cake bakes.
While the crust bakes, start to make the chocolate cupcake batter. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
Pour the cake batter over the shortbread cookie crust until the cups are 2/3-3/4 full with batter.
To make the caramel buttercream, combine the egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture reaches 160° F and the sugar has dissolved.
Blend in the vanilla bean caramel sauce until smooth and completely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pipe frosting on to cupcakes as desired.
Decorate each cupcake with half a fun size Twix bar and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

A recent client needed help to convert her home office to a baby's room in her two bedroom apartment. The existing office desk didn't work anywhere else in the apt, so she thought about getting a new one, as well as an another credenza for additional storage. Before jumping to buy anything new, I prefer to make the most out of the existing storage.After editing, I look at organizing a space like playing the Tile Game; moving things around until they're in perfect order functionally and esthetically. It's what I call 'mapping out the house'.
We started with their four closets; deep closet in new baby's room, two closets in the master bedroom, and the coat closet. The former office closet held her husband's clothing and is now the baby/linen closet. The two closets in the master bedroom held all her clothes; the larger for current season plus household linens, and the smaller one for off-season clothes, shoes, bags, and more household linens. The larger now holds all her clothes and accessories, and the smaller is now for her husband's clothes.
We then focused on her existing living room credenza. We moved the serving pieces to her small kitchen pantry making room for all the household and her business papers now in Muji file bins (not on the internet), including the misc household manuals that were clogging a kitchen drawer (which is now holding paper napkins, aprons, and towels. sorry I don't have any pics).
In the end to the client's surprise, no new furniture was needed. Guess who wasn't surprised by that….

International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) President Sebastian Coe said on 5 May that his organisation needs to regain the trust of clean athletes. The sport has been rocked by allegations of corruption and bribery, with fans and sponsors deserting track and field.
Athletics, the showpiece of the Olympic Games, was stunned last year when Russia was suspended from the sport after a World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) investigation showed a state-sponsored doping programme.
An independent Wada commission also said "corruption was embedded" at the IAAF, under former president Lamine Diack, who ran a clique that covered up organised doping and blackmailed athletes while senior officials looked the other way. Speaking ahead of the opening Diamond League meeting of the season in Doha, Qatar on Friday, Coe said the IAAF had to get back the trust of the athletes to attract people into the sport.
"The most important client group we need to regain the trust of is the clean athletes," the Briton said.
"These are the people I wake up each day trying to create systems that are safe and secure and allow them to know when they're lining up on the track they're lining up against athletes that are clean, and that the years and years of effort that they've put in, the sacrifices that their families and their coaches made in order for them to do that, is not in any way reduced. This is an important year and the reforms that are underway now within the organisation are testament to that," he said.
Qatar was controversially awarded the right to host the football World Cup in 2022, when asked if the country could host a summer Olympic Games Coe did not rule out the possibility, stressing the importance of taking sport to new territories.
"If we are going to globalise sport, that we have consistently turned up to conferences around the world for as long as I've been involved in sports administration, and talked about globalising and talking about sport to impact and imprint on the lives of young people, then we have to make sure that we are, where possible, giving countries that want to stage these events, the opportunity to do exactly what for the last 30 or 40 years been encouraging them to do," he said.
"It's not simply about infrastructure, it's not simply about the commercial considerations, these are of course important, athlete welfare plays a large part in all that," he added.

Brustics Bamboo Panels will make distinctive fencing, screens and shading for both exterior and interior applications.
Installed outside, the 'natural' bamboo weathers to a silver grey similar to timber, the 'smoked' will weather to a mushroom colour after 3-6 months. Once weathered the bamboo becomes more porous, enabling varnish or stain to penetrate, something which cannot be done when new. We recommend the smoked bamboo is stained after 6-12 months and the natural bamboo after 12-18 months.
Used as fencing the expected life is 7-10 years. Staining will extend the life even more. However as with many of our natural products, the life expectancy of the fence depends on the location and conditions it is exposed to. The main damaging factor for bamboo is the sun, so fences with full all day sun will go a slivery-grey sooner. Bamboo doesn't tend to rot, it becomes brittle and cracks with age. Water will encourage the growth of moulds and fungus, but these can be generally washed off. You just need a stiff brush and hose.

What is partialism in relation to the Trinity?
Question: "What is partialism in relation to the Trinity?"
Complicating the issue are the many different ways to interpret the basic idea of partialism. A partialist might claim God is only God when all three Persons of the Trinity are "together" but also claim these three Persons can never be separated, making the idea practically irrelevant. On the other extreme, a partialist might claim that, when Jesus called out to God during the crucifixion (Matthew 27:46), the Trinity was broken, which is absolutely contrary to scriptural concepts.
So, a particular flavor of partialism can be compatible with Scripture, while another may be incompatible and contradictory to Scripture. Since partialism is fairly obscure and open to such wide interpretation, it is rarely named among the major false views of the Trinity. That being said, certain views of partialism, if not the very idea itself, run counter to most Christian interpretations of the Trinity. For instance, the church father Athanasius, writing about the Council of Nicaea, correctly emphasized the unity of God and indicated that God is "without parts," but partialism opposes Athanasius' view. The more insistently a person pursues the idea of partialism, the more likely he is to drift into something theologically incorrect.
Partialism is subject to widely varied applications, making it impossible to declare that all forms of partialism are false or that all forms are true. Still, generally speaking, most interpretations of partialism conflict with well-established interpretations of the Trinity. Any supposed value or insight gained through partialism is minimal, if not trivial. Potential misunderstandings or misapplications, however, could be quite consequential. As a result, partialism is not a concept that should be considered part of Christian orthodoxy.

The house had three centre bays with three-sided bays to each side with mullioned windows, curvilinear gables and tall Tudor chimneys.
The house was burnt in 1920 and all that remains is part of a three-storey bay window and gable end, the rest having been demolished.
There is also a much extended gate lodge and an unusual bell-cote in the walled garden.
The former demesne is now mostly gone and belongs largely to the Irish forestry commission.

The Sudanese Republic and Senegal became independent of France in 1960 as the Mali Federation. When Senegal withdrew after only a few months, what formerly made up the Sudanese Republic was renamed Mali. Rule by dictatorship was brought to a close in 1991 by a military coup - led by the current president Amadou TOURE - enabling Mali's emergence as one of the strongest democracies on the continent. President Alpha KONARE won Mali's first democratic presidential election in 1992 and was reelected in 1997. In keeping with Mali's two-term constitutional limit, KONARE stepped down in 2002 and was succeeded by Amadou TOURE, who was subsequently elected to a second term in 2007. The elections were widely judged to be free and fair.

CSU environmental engineers developing tool to sustainably clean water using microbes
By Jayme DeLoss
Neha Sachdeva collects sediment samples from a ditch where effluent water is discharged after treatment.
Treated wastewater can contain very small amounts of pollutants that are not entirely removed through standard treatment methods and could end up in our drinking water. Colorado State University scientists are creating a new molecular tool to identify bacteria that could be key to cleaning our water and protecting human and ecosystem health.
Chronic exposure to trace contaminants – which come from medicines, personal care products, sunscreen, antimicrobial chemicals, flame retardants, pesticides and herbicides – may be bad for human health. Fortunately, many of these contaminants can be broken down by bacteria, although we don't yet know which bacteria are most useful for this purpose.
Susan De Long, an associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and postdoctoral fellow Neha Sachdeva are developing a Functional gene Amplicon Sequencing test, or FASt, to find and measure these important bacteria. FASt will use next-generation gene-sequencing technology to identify specific, "functional" genes that control the chemical reactions bacteria use to break down trace organic contaminants, or TOrCs.
"We're dealing with this really complex system of a bunch of different contaminants at once," De Long said. "Our goal is to use high throughput, newer techniques to study a bunch of contaminants at once, a bunch of microbes at once, and use next-generation gene sequencing-enabled technologies to figure out which microbes are able to degrade these compounds."
More than a catchy acronym
Sediment samples are cultivated with pharmaceuticals to activate microbes capable of degrading them.
An amplicon is the result of amplification, or replication, of genetic material. Amplification is helpful in detecting genes of interest. This technique is used in PCR tests to find SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. If the test is positive, an amplicon is present.
Sequencing reveals the exact content of an amplicon. De Long and Sachdeva will use amplicon sequencing to figure out which genes are active when the contaminants are broken down.
The new test is intended to quickly find the useful bacteria that can degrade the contaminants, and the genes that are key to that process – hence its name, "FASt."
Once De Long and Sachdeva narrow the microbe selection to those that are useful, they can design engineered systems that grow and support those types of microbes.
A greener approach
Many of the current treatment technologies are energy intensive; they require resources and leave behind waste products. This project aims for a more sustainable approach by using bacteria that can naturally biodegrade contaminants.
"Water resources are getting scarce," Sachdeva said. "We need to recycle water to meet the needs. It's important that we use cost-effective and energy-efficient technologies for that. This project will bring us a step closer to achieving that goal."
Microbes of interest
The researchers are targeting enzymes responsible for the metabolism of pharmaceuticals in human bodies. These enzymes are found in our bodies' microbiota and throughout nature.
De Long and Sachdeva have found promising bacteria near wastewater treatment facilities, in the sediment over which treated effluent water flows on its way to rejoin surface water. De Long believes the microbes in this sediment may have adapted to low levels of pharmaceuticals and other common contaminants that are not completely filtered out during the treatment process.
The researchers sampled this sediment and subjected its microbes to high concentrations of 12 pharmaceutical compounds for eight weeks. They then genetically analyzed the samples and found an abundance of the targeted enzymes. Now they are working to sort out which enzymes were activated in response to the pharmaceuticals.
These early results are encouraging, as De Long and Sachdeva set their sights on a scalable, sustainable water purification method.
Neha Sachdeva checks cultures for growth and takes samples for DNA extraction.
The National Science Foundation funded this research. Jessica Prenni, an analytical chemist and associate professor in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, and Julia Sharp, an associate professor and director of the Graybill Statistics and Data Science Laboratory, are co-investigators.
De Long recruited Sachdeva to CSU to make this project possible. Sachdeva brought expertise in fundamental biology, molecular tools, bioprocess engineering, and bioreactor design and operation. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Mons in Belgium, where she studied wastewater remediation for space applications in collaboration with the European Space Agency. A former scientist at the Roche pharmaceutical company, Sachdeva has experience developing tools to detect biological markers, a critical skill for this project's objectives.

We'll eliminate Sim box fraud — NCA
December 12, 2019 / Comments (0)
SIM box fraud and other mobile phone-based illegalities will totally be eliminated when the National Communications Authority (NCA) completes an exercise to register all active SIM cards in the country by June 2020.
The re-registration of SIM cards is expected to help the law enforcement agencies to identify owners of subscriber identification module (SIM) cards and effectively track and stamp out illegal activities "such as SIM box fraud".
The Minister of Communications, Mrs Ursula Owusu Ekuful, gave the assurance in a speech read on her behalf by her deputy, Mr George Andah, at the 19th Council of African Regulators Meeting in Accra yesterday.
The process to sanitise the telecommunications space, she said, aligned with the government's effort to combat cyber crime to help bring trust into the sector "which is now the backbone for other social services to ride on".
Secure space
The SIM Registration Regulations, 2011 (LI 2006) was enacted to basically reduce mobile phone-related crimes such as prank calls, cyber-crime, mobile money fraud and its related issues and also help improve the general security in the telecommunications industry.
As a result, beginning January 1, 2020, all holders of SIM cards in the country will be required to re-register them within six months, after which all unregistered ones will be terminated.
"Improving the communication experience of Ghanaians is the vision of the NCA day in, day out and consumers are growing more and more dependent on the Internet as a means of communication and as a link to other resources for everyday life," Mrs Owusu Ekuful told the regulators.
One Africa Network
The meeting was to present updates on the One Africa Network (OAN) roaming hub and clearinghouse which is expected to handle all traffic originating and terminating within the African continent.
Other issues expected to be discussed during the two-day meeting include free regional roaming, fifth generation (5G) policy implications in Africa, among other communication-related issues.
The Board Chairman of the NCA, Mr Kwaku Sekyi-Addo, said regulators in Africa must collaborate to share knowledge and build trust in the telecommunications sector to drive development to the continent.
"I would like to inspire and encourage other African countries to open their doors so that we can all learn from one another to build trust in the telecommunications industry and foster greater access to services for development for our people," he said.
He encouraged participants to be forthcoming with their concerns to help bring out reflective solutions to the challenges in the sector.
According to the Ghana Telecommunications Chamber, the state loses more than GH¢3 million every month to SIM box fraud.
Beyond the monthly losses, activities of the fraudsters had also led to a decline in International Direct Dialing (IDD) revenue from as high as GH¢222 million in 2012 to about GH¢56 million, which is projected for the end of 2019, a 74 per cent reduction.
The Head of the Cyber Crime Unit of the Ghana Police Service, Dr Gustav Yankson, told the Daily Graphic in an interview that although there was an alarming surge in the activities of SIM box fraudsters, a joint effort by the Cyber Crime Unit and the Ghana Telecommunications Chamber had resulted in a series of operations to round up the criminals at different locations in Accra.
Within the last two weeks alone, he said, the joint effort had resulted in raids at different locations within Accra, in the course of which four adults were arrested, while two others were on the run.

SC-122 was een geallieerd scheepskonvooi tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het konvooi bestond uit 50 vrachtschepen van verscheidene nationaliteiten. Konvooi SC-122 vertrok vanuit Sydney, Canada naar Groot-Brittannië over de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan. Op 17 maart werd SC-122 voor het eerst verkend door de U-338. Tussen 17 maart en 19 maart 1943 werd het konvooi door Duitse U-boten aangevallen, bestaande uit drie "Wolfpack"-groepen, de Gruppe Raubgraf, met 10 U-boten, Gruppe Dränger, 11 U-boten en Gruppe Stürmer, 18 U-boten. Verder waren er nog 4 U-boten die niet in die groepen waren ingedeeld maar die wel deelnamen in de konvooislag. Het tragere konvooi SC-122 van 50 schepen, werd ingehaald door het snellere konvooi HX-229 van 37 schepen. Op 17 maart 1943 vormden de twee konvooien één enorm konvooi van 87 schepen. De 41 Duitse onderzeeërs hadden keuze te over en admiraal Dönitz liet hen de vrije keuze, welk konvooi ze wilden aanvallen. Voor beide konvooien verliep het scenario van de U-bootaanval eigenlijk gelijk. Konvooi HX-229 en SC-122 hadden elk 9 escorteschepen om 87 schepen te beschermen.

Geschiedenis
Konvooi SC-122 werd geëscorteerd door de B-5 Group onder leiding van Commandant R.C.Boyle RN met HMS Havelock, de Amerikaanse torpedojager USS Upshur (DD-144), HMS Swale, de Flower-klasseschepen HMS Buttercup, HMS Lavender, HMS Godetia, HMS Lavender, HMS Pimpernel en HMS Saxifrage. De kotter USCG Ingham sloot zich aan op 19 maart.

De slag
Tijdens de winter van 1942-43, werd het centrale deel van de konvooiroute van het Noord-Atlantische Oceaangedeelte vanaf Canada tot aan Engeland, bekend als het "Air Gap", omdat er voorbij deze zone geen bereikbaarheid was voor de meeste patrouillevliegtuigen, die hun bases aan land hadden. De U-boten werden in slaglinie geplaatst tot dertig kilometers afstand in lange noord-zuid-loodlijnen aan de konvooiroutes. Om het even welk konvooi dat een van deze groepslijnen kruiste, zou theoretisch waargenomen worden door minstens één U-boot die het konvooi zou doormelden en volgen om anderen erheen te leiden, tot er genoeg aanwezige U-Boten waren om een aanval van het "wolfspack" te lanceren op de geallieerde schepen.

Midden de maand maart werd Gruppe Raubgraf ("roofgraaf") geplaatst op de westelijke rand van het "air gap", en Gruppes Stürmer ("waaghals") en Dränger ("plunderaar") vormde een lange blokkadelijn door het centrum van het "luchtgat". Het langzamere konvooi SC-122 voer naar het oosten door het gebied van Gruppe Raubgraf, één dag alvorens die onderscheppingslijn werd gevormd, en eveneens naar het oosten, het snellere konvooi HX-229, achter SC-122 op dezelfde koerslijn, en glipte zodoende door de Duitse onderscheppingslijn tijdens een zwaar onweer en bar slecht weer.

16/17 maart
De U-653 had een bemanningslid vanuit de commandotoren verloren, die overboord geslagen werd tijdens de zware storm. Ze had een laag brandstofrendement, niet goed functionerende machines en met één enkele gebrekkige torpedo, werd de U-653 losgemaakt van Gruppe Raubgraf om naar Frankrijk terug te keren. De huiswaarts kerende U-653 ontdekte konvooi SC-229 om 03.30 u. op 17 maart. Met het waarnemen van één naar het oosten varend konvooi, bij dageraad en dicht bij de westelijke rand van het "air gap" bood het uitstekende perspectieven om de U-boten te verzamelen tot één groot "wolfspack" voor een aanval op de avond van 16 maart, en de rest van Gruppe Raubgraf werd bevolen om het konvooi in te halen. Gruppes Stürmer en Dränger werden toen bevolen om in de buurt van HX-229 samen te komen. Zeven van die U-Boten van Gruppe Raubgraf vielen aan en de nabijgelegen U-119, die bij de "melkkoe"U-boot, de U-463 op dat moment werd bijgetankt, sloot zich aan bij de aanvalsgroep. Hij vond konvooi HX-229 tijdens de dag en viel het aan nadat de duisternis was ingevallen. Acht schepen werden getorpedeerd, nog vóór dat de ochtend aanbrak.

17 maart
Ondertussen vonden U-338 van Gruppe Stürmer konvooi SC-122, kort na middernacht van 17 maart op 120 zeemijlen vóór HX-229. De U-338 lanceerde als eerste met een torpedosalvo op vier schepen van SC-122. Admiraal Donitz gaf opdracht aan sommige U-boten van Gruppes Stürmer en Dränger zich tegen SC-122 te richten, eerder dan tegen konvooi HX-229, zodra hij notie had gekregen dat er twee konvooien in de buurt waren, maar de Duitse verslagen verwijzen naar de twee nabijgelegen konvooien als één enkele konvooislag -- Geleitzug Nummer 19.

De B-24 Liberators (VLR) patrouillebommenwerpers met zeer groot vliegbereik van het eskader van R.A.F. 86 in Aldergrove, Noord-Ierland, en Eskader 120 van Reykjavik, IJsland, maakten enkele eerste efficiënte patrouilles in het "luchtgat" op 17 maart en schaduwden de Duitse onderzeeboten. De Duitsers werden hierbij verrast, zo dicht bij de beide konvooien, door de bommenwerpers. De U-boten torpedeerden meer dan twee schepen van konvooi HX-229 en drie van SC-122 ondanks het dreigende tussenbeide komen van de B-24 Liberators.

18 maart
De Liberatorbommenwerpers bereikten opnieuw SC-122 op 18 maart, maar konden HX-229, die slechts 70 zeemijl verder weg en naderbij opstoomde, niet vinden. De U-boten torpedeerden meer dan twee schepen van HX-229 en een andere van SC-122. Een vrachtschip van HX-229, de Mathew Luckenbach, werd bij het voortdurende verlies van vrachtschepen gealarmeerd en liep weg vanuit het konvooi. Hij draaide af naar bakboord van het konvooi, zonder machtiging en orders, om rechtstreeks naar Engeland op te stomen door zijn beste snelheid in te zetten. Een ander vrachtschip, de Clarissa Radcliffe, die van SC-122 tijdens een onweer op 9 maart was achtergebleven, werd nooit meer opnieuw teruggezien en werd verondersteld om onafhankelijk uit het konvooi weg te stomen totdat ze getorpedeerd werd door de U-663 op 18 maart.

19 maart
De extra escorteschepen en de stijgende aantallen patrouillebommenwerpers, bereikten de konvooien op 19 maart. De U-384 werd hierbij tot zinken gebombardeerd door een liberator-bommenwerper. De U-Boten werden bevolen om die nacht de aanvallen te beëindigen. De Mathew Luckenbach was het enige schip op 19 maart die nog werd getorpedeerd, aangezien zijn vlucht uit het konvooi HX-229, de concentratie van U-boten rond SC-122 innamen. De escorterende kotter van SC-122 merkte de rookpluim door de torpedo-explosie en redde de bemanning van de Mathew Luckenbach, die naderhand geen poging meer deden om het nog drijvende schip nog te bergen. Het werd later die avond getorpedeerd door de U-523.

Stretching almost eight hundred meters, the web was accompanied by thousands of spiders. Neighbour Ida Morris said she's seen about 20 spiders on her porch in the last day. There are kids running around. "When I got up this morning, it was like spiders all on my door, they were coming in my house", Frances Ward said. "If you suspect that you have a spider bite, contact your primary care physician", the Center writes.
The shell-less mollusks can generally be found off the coasts of Australia, South Africa and European waters and usually reaches lengths of just over 2.5 cm (one inch) when fully grown. It looks like a mystical creature. These slugs are known to biologists as Glaucus atlanticus , and they're not frequently seen because they spend their lives floating through currents far out at sea.

The Xbox One which goes for the usual price of $49.99 will go for $29.99 on Black Friday 2015.
Nationally, there has been an overall 11 percent decrease and 26 percent drop in the unsheltered homeless population since 2010, HUD announced . In Madison/Dane County, the total count of homeless people dipped slightly from January 2014's 777 to 771 this January, according to HUD data.
Traffic was light after the road reopened at about 10 a.m. Sunday, said state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Harmony Weinberg."We're moving again, and that was our goal, " she said. Oversized loads will not be allowed to cross the bridge. Only a single lane over a bridge damaged in the storm is open with traffic alternating between eastbound and westbound.


The salwar kameez is marked as the informal national dress for the women everywhere in India. It is customarily worn with the "Chunni-Dupatta" and also nowadays the pattern is changed. There is always be change when you consider the fashion. Earlier the Bollywood salwar kameez is worn in the category of the traditional wear as an ironed pair of the salwar and kameez but now it is also worn with the pair of any leggings and jeans. You can also buy the latest designer salwar suits from the market as well as online.
The category we consider then it will be lying the Anarkali, straight, embroidered, bridal, cotton and many others. As this is the most wearable dress in India, also out of India by presenting India. Now, we consider the popular Bollywood salwar kameez that represent the style of the salwar suit designs in India.
There are several styles of the Bollywood salwar kameez, but we are considering here some designs among them.
The one-stop destination of all the Bollywood salwar kameez is Anarkali salwar kameez. The wide assortment of the long Anarkali suits has the wide colors, fabrics, pattern, and designs. You can choose any of them wisely by abrogating the old version of the salwar suits. It is called the most tradition wear nowadays. By combining the ethnic designs and other popular ideas you can get the most unique piece among all the Anarkali salwar suits.
The Anarkali salwar kameez are, prepared as a slim fit from the upper side and the big spread in the bottom of the upper wear, at the bottom-wear you can consider any kind such as legging, palazzo or simple pant as well.
In the style, you can conclude the long trousers as a bottom wear, it has the flare at the ankle and straight from the waist. Palazzo is preferable in the summer and, it is also worn in the festive season and functions. As they are super chic and comfortable, they are favorable nowadays.
To pair with the straight salwar is the fashion now a day. The most of the Bollywood salwar kameez designs are popular by this design only. You can go with the variables such as extra flared, pleated, layered, cotton, chiffon, embroidered and many other types of the designs are available.
Now, rarely found but most trendy Bollywood salwar kameez and designer sarees online style is Indo-western salwar kameez. This the ultimate option for the 21st-century ladies who want to be unique in every field. Indo-western means, the fusion, -the blend of the traditional and western dress.

Q: Unreferenced assemblies are not being published to IIS using WebDeploy I'm using the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 (17.3.0) to publish an ASPNET (NET6) webapp to IIS.
I use a plugin system for some of the assemblies and these are not referenced in the main project. I need these assemblies published, so I added the following post-build events:
xcopy "$(SolutionDir)pathtoassembly\bin\Debug\net6.0\assemblyname.dll" "$(TargetDir)" /Y
xcopy "$(SolutionDir)pathtoassembly\bin\Debug\net6.0\assemblyname.pdb" "$(TargetDir)" /Y

I do the above for a number of assemblies. But a couple of these are not being published. The build process does copy the files into the main project's bin folder.
The temporary publish folder (\obj\Debug\net6.0\win-x64\PubTmp\Out) does not contain these files so therefore they are not being published. All other unreferenced assemblies which I copy in the post-build event are successfully being published.
Is there a reason certain files do not get published?

A: I was missing the following in the publish profile file:
<ItemGroup>
  <JobFiles Include="**\Plugins*">
    <Path>\Plugins</Path>
  </JobFiles>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="PrepublishScript" BeforeTargets="PrepareForPublish">
  <Copy SourceFiles="@(JobFiles)" DestinationFolder="$(PublishDir)\" SkipUnchangedFiles="false" />
</Target>

After adding the above, publishing works as expected.

When the stars align
The past month brought us two "great conjunctions." One occurred up in the night sky, and the other, in Washington, D.C.

Douglas H. Phelps
President and Executive Director, The Public Interest Network
Blink and you might've missed it. But within a set of COVID relief and year-end spending bills, federal leaders came together to:
Cut a potent greenhouse gas by 85 percent within the next fifteen years and put our planet on track to avoid half a degree Celsius of warming by century's end.
Protect roughly 135 million Americans from surprise medical bills from out-of-network providers.
Ban anonymous shell companies used to evade taxes, launder drug money and defraud Medicare.
Provide $2 billion for weatherization assistance that makes American homes more energy-efficient.
Commit to spend $5 billion more on clean renewables and associated technology, such as electric buses, than on dirty and outdated approaches to powering our lives.
Organizations in The Public Interest Network, including U.S. PIRG, Environment America and Fair Share, and our allies helped win the inclusion of these provisions and more. And for the most part, we didn't run massive campaigns to do so.
Rather, these victories were the result of making the most of a propitious alignment. Across organizations, our advocates keep an ever-watchful eye on the legislative process, while forging strong working relationships with key decision-makers in both parties and, most importantly, stoking demand for good ideas that make a difference in our lives.
One small but powerful example: Environment America advocates spotted a chance to make the defense spending bill a bit greener by adding language requiring and funding the planting of pollinator-friendly plants around military facilities. Our idea made its way into the final legislation because it's a good one on the merits, we know the right legislators to champion it and, due to our coordinated advocacy and grassroots outreach work across 22 states to save the bees, we can attest to our idea's broad appeal.
Likewise, U.S. PIRG and Fair Share were well-positioned for when our window finally opened to ban anonymous shell companies. That's because both organizations helped found the Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency (FACT) Coalition dedicated to solving the problem back in 2011, and in the ensuing decade, we never stopped making our case and enlisting powerful allies both inside and outside Congress who helped us seize the moment.
We did not win everything we sought to. Policies ranging from increased funding for clean water infrastructure to better transparency in COVID relief spending eluded us this time around. Environment America helped win an extension of critical clean energy tax incentives, which is a step in the right direction, but we had hoped for a longer extension that would provide more certainty to the renewables industry and potential investors. And while U.S. PIRG helped stop the worst attempts to weaken liability for corporations that expose consumers and workers to COVID-related harms, some businesses got temporary immunity — which we'll fight to end as soon as possible.
In instances where we did prevail, such as with surprise medical billing, PIRG advocates now turn their attention to educating consumers about this victory and ensuring the strongest implementation of these new protections. And with a closely divided Congress and a new administration on the way, our ongoing work scanning the horizon for "celestial convergences" is about to become that much more important.
So, the work goes on. For now, I offer congratulations and thanks to the many legislators and allies who left no stone unturned in the search for opportunities to do good as the calendar turned to 2021. Special thanks go out to retiring U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander for championing surprise medical billing reform and corporate transparency efforts.

Woman Who Set Self on Fire in United Russia Office Dies of Burns
A despairing real estate buyer who set herself on fire in the office of Russia's ruling United Russia party in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk on Wednesday... 22.07.2012, Sputnik International

A despairing real estate buyer who set herself on fire in the office of Russia's ruling United Russia party in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk on Wednesday has died of severe burns, the regional forensic medicine department said on Sunday.
"The woman has died. We can't give any other details," the department said.
Veronika Gerasimova, aged 61, was hospitalized with burns over 90 percent of her body and the damaged respiratory tract. A United Russia lawyer who tried to put out the fire is recovering from burns to his face and his arms.
United Russia official Nadezhda Boltenko has said the woman was displeased with her meeting with the party staff, which prompted her to set herself on fire.
"And so she took out a glass case, a dry napkin, and a lighter and set herself on fire," Boltenko said.
The woman paid for an apartment in a building under construction, but thought the completed apartment was subpar and sued the developer, Taiga.info local news website said.
Gerasimova sought legal help from United Russia in 2011, but nevertheless lost her court case, Boltenko told journalists.
Party officials believed Gerasimova's claims "unfeasible" but still struggled to help the woman, who was overly emotional and often dissolved into tears in the party's office, Boltenko said.
Russians are frequently swindled by real estate developers when purchasing apartments under construction. A support group for victims of such swindles, Committee for Help: Housing, Land, People, listed 500,000 members nationwide, according to Help.su.


A man suffered fatal head and neck injuries n a flat in Pontefract, a coroner has said.
The inquest into the death of Mark Long was opened at Wakefield Coroner's Court this morning, Monday, February 11.
An ambulance was called to the property at South Baileygate in the early hours of August 23 last year where 45-year-old Mr Long was found.
A murder investigation as launched and Sean Keena, who was 39 at the time, and also of South Baileygate, was arrested.
He has since appeared at Leeds Crown Court for preliminary hearings and is expected to stand trial.
Area coroner Jonathan Leach adjourned the inquest until the court proceedings are complete.
