Commissioner Jessica Vega Pederson addresses Community Energy Justice Summit attendees on July 13.
How do we transition to renewable energy in a way that is just and equitable to historically oppressed people?
That question was at the heart of the Community Energy Justice Summit, a three-day workshop in July for frontline community organizations and policy makers sponsored by Commissioner Jessica Vega Pederson.
Earlier this year, Commissioner Vega Pederson committed $15,000 for an environmental justice summit to address questions around community-based resources and how to achieve that goal.
The July 13 event, held at Portland Community College's Southeast campus, was organized by community-based organizations — including the Coalition of Communities of Color, Verde, OPAL Environmental Justice, APANO, NAYA, and IRCO/Africa House — and the Multnomah County Office of Sustainability and the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.

A reception Friday night brought out a wide swath of partners, including Megan Decker, chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Oregon, representatives from local utilities, including PGE, Pacific Power, and Northwest Natural, and several local community members.
Commissioner Vega Pederson launched the conversation with a history of the industrial revolution and how it not only led to advances in productivity and manufacturing, but also created a system that concentrates wealth and power among those with the most social and economic capital: primarily those who are white and male.
The industrial revolution also led the planet to a place where the very survival of humankind is threatened by human-influenced climate change.

Be powered by the people who are on the front lines of this fight day after day.
"It will take all of us — utilities, lawmakers, activists, community members, and everybody else — to achieve this transformation, the likes of which have never been seen before,'' Commissioner Vega Pederson said.
The Multnomah County Office of Sustainability plans on incorporating the findings from the three-day event into a comprehensive strategy that will chart a path for achieving the 100 percent renewable energy by 2050 goal.

How to choose MBA and Scholarships?
By Asia News BarPosted on January 24, 2022 January 20, 2023
Here, we will talk about How to choose MBA and Scholarships. What is mba degree? Nowadays, there are many people who are interested in studying for a Master of Business Administration (MBA), an advanced degree in economics, and now there are schools that can connect with foreign universities at home, so there are some options for those who want to study.
Applicants for the MBA program should be able to manage their work environment in a systematic manner, depending on the circumstances in which they are currently attending, and should choose a subject that is relevant to the type of work they want to do. Likewise, choosing the right amount of money is also important for a smooth learning process. Subjects Universities and countries also need to be considered.
What is an MBA? (MBA and Scholarships)
MBA is a business-related human resources program. It is a discipline that covers a wide range of disciplines, including marketing and management. However, Aung Kyaw San, managing director of Crown Education, said the study was designed to provide a 360-degree insight into the changing economic patterns and experiences of the world.
"To translate Master of Business Administration word for word is to master business management. To master your business to be more successful than others," he said. It is also a field of study that seeks to turn adversaries and opportunities into opportunities rather than ordinary entrepreneurs.
Subjects Included (MBA and Scholarships)
MBAs vary from university to university, with some universities offering only nine subjects, some universities offering 12 subjects and some universities offering 18 subjects. "Subjects vary according to the school system," said Maung Maung Win, academic director of MIBA-Myanmar International Business Academy.
The MBA majors include Strategic Business Management and International Business; Business Law & Ethic; Micro and Macro Economic; Logistic and Supply Chain Management; Research Methodology & Data Analysis and Human Resources.
In conclusion, "People who have reached the senior management level balance the functions and functions of the company in each department, which is why they are all required at the senior management level," said Aung Chit Khin, Principal & Founder of Strategy First.
Types of MBA (MBA and Scholarships)
There are two types of MBA: General MBA and specialized MBA, and there are specialized courses for those who want to specialize in the subject they want to study. The most prominent of these majors are Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Information System, Entrepreneurship, Consulting, Operations Management.
"If some people do MBA, their first degree is not related to marketing. If they want to be more successful in marketing, they choose MBA Marketing. Usually they choose General MBA," said Aung Chit Khin. EMBA in MBA; Global MBA; There are also various groups such as Dual MBA and MBA and EMBA in Myanmar.
Why Learn? (MBA and Scholarships)
Gradually changing business models should be attended, especially by those who want to get a higher position than they already have. MBA is attended by a large number of people entering the workforce in Myanmar and will be needed for Myanmar's future economy.
"Our country has a large population of resources, mainly because of the lack of systematic and systematic value-added integration, and the more people who understand the management of these MBAs, the more useful these programs will be," said Aung Chit Khin.
How to choose a country and school?
MBA in Myanmar UK Australia Switzerland Singapore There are affiliated schools with universities in Thailand and the Philippines. Most of these schools are suitable for those who want to study in Myanmar, such as UK universities. 99% are UK MBAs, according to Aung Kyaw San.
"If you still have time to go abroad when you are young, I encourage you to study abroad. The environment is different. The experience of working with you is different, so if you can spend a year, the experience called exposure," he said. Before choosing a university you want to attend, you need to ask about the teaching style of each university.

Arguably one of the most essential traits that your child can acquire throughout his or her education is good organization. Embracing strong organizational habits and a daily routines can help your child make the most of homework time and avoid wasting time.
• Some children need an after-school break.
Many parents assume the best approach to homework — especially for younger children who may not have many after-school extracurricular activities — is for children to dive in the moment they get home from school. However, this may not work for every child. Some children do much better when they decompress for 30 minutes before getting started on homework.
• Other children do their best work while still in "school mode".
On the other hand, some students find that a break before dinner time only distracts them. On days that your child does not have sports practice or activities after school, he or she may prefer to get homework completed right away.
• Children who tend to procrastinate need help with prioritization.
While your goal should be to help your child become an independent studier, you can help him or her learn how to develop a daily homework to-do list that minimizes downtime. If your child tends to spin his or her wheels when it comes to homework, spend five minutes together before he or she gets started to develop a game plan and estimated amount of time for each item on the to-do list.
• Short study sessions are better than homework marathons.
Much has been documented about the benefit of frequent, abbreviated study sessions. Not only do shorter study periods encourage students to repeatedly review concepts, it is far easier for students to stay focused for brief periods of time. It is ok if your child only has 15 minutes after school to get some homework in and needs to resume later on, that's okay. Breaking up the study sessions may actually be a good thing for his or her retention.
Encourage your child to break down larger, more complex assignments rather than try to knock them out in one sitting.
If your child is writing a paper, for example, have him or her write a few pages, then turn his or her attention to another subject.
• Small goals and incentives can be helpful.
No matter the age of your child, it's always helpful to have goals to work toward. Once your child finishes one subject, he or she should reward him or herself with a five-minute break to text back a friend or step outside for some fresh air. When your child completes all of his or her homework, allow some free time to do whatever he or she wants — television or computer time, for example.
When you approach the homework routine, keep in mind that consistency is the key. Once your child embraces homework and studying as a daily habit, he or she will become more proficient at managing his or her time effectively — in school and in life.

Trump Makes Nice In Mexico, Talks Tougher Than Ever Just Hours Later In Phoenix
By Ron Elving
Published September 1, 2016 at 9:56 AM EDT
Dario Lopez-Mills
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump walks with Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto at the end of their joint statement at Los Pinos, the presidential residence, in Mexico City.
Donald Trump has provided the political world with many moving moments over the past year, but none quite like the whiplash mood swing between his daytime and nighttime performances in Mexico City and Phoenix on Wednesday.
In the daylight hours, Trump struck his most presidential pose to date with a solemn (if somewhat grumpy) reading of prepared remarks at a news conference alongside Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto. That somber event, inside the Mexican presidential residence, epitomized the more moderate image Trump has pursued on immigration issues over the past 10 days.
But as night fell in Phoenix, back in the U.S.A., Trump mounted the stage in prime time and quickly caught fire. He poured forth an hourlong harangue against all things alien, highlighting the lurid crimes of a handful of illegal immigrants as if to define the character of millions. He also promised to build "a beautiful wall" across the entire U.S.-Mexico border and create a "deportation task force" that would eventually guarantee that "the bad ones are gone."
On the subject of the wall, Trump departed from his script to assure his listeners that Mexico would indeed pay for it — adding, "They may not know it yet, but they will." In so doing, he as much as acknowledged that Peña Nieto had told him something different earlier in the day.
That was not a minor point, but rather a sore one. The issue of the wall's cost had taken over the news and Twitter feeds earlier in the evening. Trump himself had insisted at the news conference in Mexico City that the two men did not discuss the financing of the wall. Peña Nieto, who did not contradict Trump at the time (maintaining a striking deference to the American throughout their joint appearance), later tweeted that he had begun their meeting by saying Mexico would never pay for such a wall, a stance Mexican officials have taken consistently.
None of the Trump surrogates appearing across the media landscape Wednesday night seemed to dispute this, saying rather that the Wednesday meeting had "not been a negotiation" and that more formal talks would ensue on the wall and its financing. Rest assured, they seemed to say, Mexico will come around.
Throughout the Phoenix speech, Trump read from a teleprompter but supercharged the script with his own asides and add-ons, many of which riled the already raucous crowd to transports of delight. At one moment, promising to rid the land of criminal immigrants, he shouted that "in the first hour they are gone," and the throng exulted. Trump in such moments would back away and himself applaud until the roar subsided.
Listening to the speech, marveling at the about-face maneuver, one could almost hear the spirited debate within the councils of Trump's campaign. One imagined Kellyanne Conway, the pollster-cum-campaign manager, arguing for the quickie trip to Mexico and the confab with Peña Nieto. Since stepping up in mid-August, she has been seen as a moderating influence, seeking a new tone and tenor more appealing to white suburban voters (especially women and college graduates).
With Conway seeming to be ascendant, one could easily imagine the day ending with a very different speech in Phoenix. Would Trump not hail his conquest of Mexico City, citing his domination of the news conference where he practically had the Mexican president poised on his knee? Would Trump not repeat his lines of praise for "first, second and third-generation Mexican Americans" he said were "beyond reproach" and even "spectacular, hard-working people"?
The die seemed to be cast, and the timing seemed propitious. Because two weeks of adverse publicity about the Clinton Foundation and its donors and about newly discovered emails at the State Department have helped erode Hillary Clinton's already weak standing with voters. For the first time, her disapproval numbers were almost equal to Trump's. Conway seemed to have found just the right moment to raise her candidate's acceptability score in contrast with his opponent.
But if this was the opportunity for a turnaround that changed the broad public perception of Trump, it was a moment not only missed but thrust away with both hands.
For as soon as that moderating narrative got airborne, Trump's speech in Phoenix took off after it with the speed and fury of an anti-aircraft missile. The explosion as the two met in midair against the desert sky was spectacular indeed.
That intercept was launched, in all likelihood, from the campaign's other new major domo, Steve Bannon, the former publisher of , the self-styled voice of the alt-right movement.
Bannon, now called the CEO of the Trump campaign, has been a fan of the hard-line approach on immigration as well as other issues. And whether he or another wordsmith in the Trump camp wrote the script, it was the fuel for one of the candidate's most incendiary performances.
In the speech, Trump not only doubled down on the wall and the invoice to Mexico, but on a "deportation task force" that would either drive the undocumented out of the country of their own accord or arrest them and send them to their countries of origin. The "softening" often promised in recent days seemed to consist only in the delay of the deportation endeavor until the wall could be completed and all the criminal elements of the illegal population first removed.
Trump made a point of including in his ban the "dreamers," present in the U.S. now as adults because they were brought to the country as minor children by their parents. This has been an especially popular target group for immigration reformers, and President Obama protected them from deportation orders with one of his executive actions.
At some point, Trump allowed, "we will bring back the good ones." But moments after making this concession to what he has called "being humane about it," Trump was filling the stage with the grieving parents of people killed by immigrants in the country illegally.
After a day spent putting his weight down on one foot, the Republican nominee was standing firm on the other. And he left little doubt where he would remain through the rest of this campaign.

Your Russian lady has an opportunity to come to these countries only if she has one of the Schengen visa: guest, tourist, working or student, or fiancée!
We do not talk about a work or student visa. (I have no information about it, I only know that it is very-very difficult and it can be realized only with the goals of work or studying).
You can meet your lady on the territory of the European countries of Schengen Agreement through a lady's tourist visa .
You have an opportunity to invite your lady in your country to your home through a Schengen guest visa, that is given for 1 month.
However, 95% of Russian ladies, moreover residents of Siberian Region, do not know about the work paper for getting this guest visa, where to apply to, the peculiarities of consulate work, etc.
All the consulates of the countries of Schengen Agreement are situated in Moscow (Moscow-Barnaul – 4 hours' flight), so, Siberian ladies cannot apply there to find out. On the web sites of consulates the information is not full and not efficient for a guaranteed getting of a visa.
The difficulty is in the fact that every consulate of countries of Schengen Agreement has its own peculiarities and requirements.
Our advantage is in the fact, that we know the legal way and opportunity for a Russian lady to get a Schengen guest visa.
I sincerely recommend you to take this service.
As it is a complicated and many level process. If your couple makes it by yourself, you can overcome many difficulties and spend much money, time, nerves and emotions and in the end – not meet. Even working with it for many years, every time I see a new individual situation, that requires knowledge and experience.
-purchase of the air tickets and insurance policy.
The correspondence with you concerning the organization of the meeting is held in English, French or German.
Please, let us know about your wish to meet with your lady, at least 1,5-2 months before the panned date, if the lady has a foreign passport, and 3 months before, if she does not. These terms are determined by the necessity of paper work.
With us it will be quick, comfortable, economy, safe!

New catalyst provides boost to next-generation EV batteries
Credit: UNIST
Metal-Air Batteries (MABs), which use oxygen from ambient air as recourses to store and convert energy, have received considerable attention for their potential use in electric vehicles (EVs) owing to their large storage capacity, lightweight, and affordability. A research team, affiliated with UNIST has announced that a new catalyst that could boost MAB performance, such as discharge and charge efficiency, was developed recently.
A research team, led by Professor Guntae Kim in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST, has unveiled a new composite catalyst that could efficiently enhance the charg-discharge performances when applied to MABs. It is a form of very thin layer of metal oxide films deposited on a surface of perovskite catalysts, and thus the interface naturally formed between the two catalysts enhances the overall performance and stability of the new catalyst.
Metal-air batteries (MABs), in which oxygen from the atmosphere reacts with metals to generate electricity, are one of the lightest and most compact types of batteries. They are equipped with anodes made up of pure metals (i.e. Lithium, Zinc, Magnesium, and Aluminum) and an air cathode that is connected to an inexhaustible source of air. Due to their high theoretical energy density, MABs have been considered a strong cadidate for the next-generation electric vehicles. The currently existing MABs use rare and expensive metal catalysts for their air electrodes, such as platinum (Pt). This has hindered its further commercialization into the marketplace. As an alternative, perovskite catalysts that exhibit excellent catalyic performance has been proposed, yet there exists low activation barriers.
Professor Kim has solved this issue with a new composite catalyst combining two types of catalysts, each of which showed excellent performance in charge and discharge reactions. The metal catalyst (cobalt oxide), which performs well in charging, is deposited on a very thin layer on top of the manganese-based perovskite catalyst (LSM), which performs well in discharge. As a result, the synergistic effect of the two catalysts became optimal when the deposition process was repeated 20 times.
"During the repeated deposition and oxidation cycles of atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, the Mn cations diffuse into Co3O4 from LSM, and therefore, the LSM-20-Co catalyst is composed of LSM encapsulated with the self-reconstructedspinel interlayer (Co3O4/MnCo32O4/LSM)," says Arim Seong (Combined M.S/Ph.D. of Energy and Chemical Engineering, UNIST), the first author of the study. "And this has enhanced the catalytic activitiy of the hybrid catalyst, LSM-20-Co, leading to superior bifunctional electrochemical performances for the ORR and the OER in alkaline solutions."
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the self-reconstructed interlayer induced by the in-situ cation diffusion during ALD process for designing an efficient and stable bifunctional catalyst for alkaline zinc-air batteries," according to the research team.
"Our findings provide the rational design strategy of self-reconstructed interlayer for efficient electro-catalyst," says Professor Kim. "Therefore, this work can provide insight into the rational design strategy of metal oxide with perovskite materials."
This research has been carried out in collaboration with Professor Raymond J. Gorte (University of Pennsylvania), Professor John M. Vohs (University of Pennsylvania), and Professor Hu Young Jeong (UNIST). The findings of this research have been published in the online version of Nano Energy on February 3, 2020. This work has been supported by Global Ph.D. Fellowship Program of NRF Grant funded by the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT). Also, it has been supported by the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP) and the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy (MOTIE).

Deep-diving whales and other marine mammals can get the bends–the same painful and potentially life-threatening decompression sickness that strikes scuba divers who surface too quickly. A new study offers a hypothesis of how marine mammals generally avoid getting the bends and how they can succumb under stressful conditions.
When air-breathing mammals dive to high-pressure depths, their lungs compress. That collapses their alveoli–the tiny sacs at the end of the airways where gas exchange occurs. Nitrogen bubbles build up in the animals' bloodstream and tissue. If they ascend slowly, the nitrogen can return to the lungs and be exhaled. But if they ascend too fast, the nitrogen bubbles don't have time to diffuse back into the lungs. Under less pressure at shallower depths, the nitrogen bubbles expand in the bloodstream and tissue, causing pain and damage.
Scientists once thought that diving marine mammals were immune from decompression sickness, but a 2002 stranding event linked to navy sonar exercises revealed that 14 whales that died after beaching off the Canary Islands had gas bubbles in their tissues–a sign of the bends. The researchers say the paper's findings could support previous implications of decompression sickness in some cetacean mass strandings associated with navy sonar exercises.

Yesterday afternoon, those of us who were still around following the Ensenada Beer Fest made a couple stops. Hey, what else would you expect beer people to do? The second—and for me, final—stop was at Baja Brews, a "colectivo" where several breweries are on hand pouring their beers. Imagine a food court, but with breweries. Someone had the brilliant idea of repurposing an old warehouse into Baja Brews, which spills out on the back to a cliff-side view of the Pacific. Live music plays while you sample beers from one of eight (I think) different breweries. It's a pretty magical place to get a pint of beer.
This is a thing in Baja, and a really clever idea. We visited a version of this in Tijuana at the Plaza Fiesta, an even more elaborate space of interconnected pubs that you access through ever-sprawling walkways and staircases. That one is so cool largely because of the location, which would be hard to replicate. But the basic idea is very simple and, once I saw it, obvious.
Take Ensenada. The town of around 500,000 got their first brewery less than a decade ago; now they have around twenty. Many are small outfits that would almost certainly struggle to find outlets to serve their beer. Drinkers, confronted with a metastasizing brewery scene, have a hard time tracking down the new breweries. Voila—an eight-in-one tasting room.
The colectivo idea probably depends on a collaborative beer scene, and that's definitely the case in Baja (and seemingly the entire country). Brewers are as friendly with each other as anyplace I've seen, and you can sometimes see them gathered in packs. They are supportive and seem to share ideas liberally. Whether this is because things are so new and the market is healthy and growing, I can't guess. The colectivo model might last only until the first market contraction. (I also can't say what happens for those breweries in the colectivo that don't sell well; seems like a ripe opportunity for resentment.) But at least from a consumer's perspective, it's a wonderful idea.

Q: How to raise open file limit - /etc/security/limits.d vs /etc/security/limits.conf Using RHEL7 with systemd
Do you have to use a specific file name convention in /etc/security/limits.d (besides the file ending in .conf)? There is a file in this directory called 20-nproc.conf. So if I wanted to raise the open file limit for USER1 how would I name this .conf file? Does that first number matter? ie. 20 in the .conf file 20-nproc.conf
And should I create this .conf in /etc/security/limits.d directory since /etc/security/limits.conf states:
Also note that configuration files in /etc/security/limits.d directory,
which are read in alphabetical order, override the settings in this
file in case the domain is the same or more specific.
...

Can I create a .conf file called 30-USER1-nofile.conf
which contains
USER1   soft   nofile   6000
USER1   hard   nofile   6000

A: The conf files in the directory are ascibetically sorted, and each sourced in order.
The numbering is a convention to ensure that all sorting methods agree, and to make inserting new rules easy when it comes to placement.
Do not, do not, edit the limits.conf file, as this is now error-attracting as it is just a bad policy in general (the reasons for which weren't as obvious back then).

A: from trial and error on a fedora32 box, it seems that the drop-in file must be named *.conf

Egads! How can we be halfway into October already? The holidays will be here in about 15 minutes. And, gulp, you are looking down the barrel of the dreaded Holiday Bonus. Have you struggled with what to do to celebrate your team at year end?
Well, you may muddle through it this year. You might not meet the expectations of everyone, or anyone, as you hand out checks or "Jelly of the Month" coupons. One client told me he that he handed out $30,000 worth of checks and only one of his team members said, "Thanks." Ouch.
The Holiday Bonus is just a subset of an even bigger challenge: How can you compensate and reward your team in a way that really makes sense, to you and them?
Introducing Phenomenal Team Building – A Better Way to Pay, a six part Webinar series starting on Friday, October 28th, 2016.
Webinar #1 – It's a FREEBIE! I'll lay out the philosophy and structure of a rockin' compensation program. This introduction to a Better Way to Pay may be just the jump start you need to refine your already sound systems. Or, you may be ready for a compensation overhaul. Maybe you want to be more generous but don't know where the money will come from. If you want more, then you'll be welcome to jump in and embrace the whole program.
Webinar #3: Keep score to make more! A great compensation program doesn't cost anything…it increases profits. We'll uncover metrics and simple scorecards for each area of your business. I'll share customizable forms, position descriptions, benchmarks, and lots more.
Webinar #5: Unpacking the Tool Kit! Salary, hourly rates, commission, bonus, and contests. Each of these has advantages and limitations. I'll introduce options for several positions on the Organizational Chart, and explore how to assemble a just-right approach for you and your team.
Webinar #6: The Kick Off! Time to implement the plan…with the enthusiastic support of your team. Or, at least enough love and trust to make powerful, positive changes.
As Zig Ziglar says, "You can have anything you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want." So good!
Join us for FREEBIE Webinar #1. If this series looks like a good fit, invest in the program. Together, we will explore compensation, bonuses, contests, commission, salary and pay options. Even better, we'll explore developing leadership at every level of your company.

This program includes six LIVE Webinars, a supportive, interactive FaceBook group, forms, checklists and scorecards, and lots of love and care from me.

Best Garmin Watch: How to Find the Perfect Smartwatch or Fitness Tracker – Men's health UK
When it comes to wearables, is a go-to brand thanks to the massive selection of impressive options for all types of wearers.
Catering to both seasoned athletes looking to beat their PB, and casual trainers getting back into fitness, Garmin has covered almost all bases, building durable, accurate devices that do more than just tell the time.
Broadly speaking, there are : smartwatches and fitness trackers, though there's quite a lot of overlap which makes things confusing.
For example, Garmin's smartwatches, like the , offers more rugged durability and advanced tracking across multiple sports that come at a high price. While the is much more focussed on style and image, with sleeker, wider displays for you to interact with apps or send texts.
The smartwatches also extend to the , , and , though these watches will include tracking features for specific sports or activities. You'll also find smart features like Garmin contactless pay and access to apps like Uber in these devices.
We have also included the and devices, which sit firmly in the tracker camp, with stripped back designs, smaller displays and a stricter focus on health monitoring and fitness tracking. Below, we've outlined the key specs to look out for, so let's get underway.
Almost all Garmin wearables will have some form of GPS tracking on them, but some will be more advanced or tailored to a specific activity. For example, the Fenix is a hiker's dream, with the advanced GPS mapping out terrain elevation and even recommending walking routes as you explore. Others will have your standard tracking services so you can leave your phone at home and get an accurate map of where you went and how fast you were going.
The battery life on the Garmin devices will vary depending on how often you use the GPS or music features, stretching from just a few hours' use, all the way up to a month on some of the more premium options. Note that the VivoFit Junior 2 is the only watch with a replaceable battery that can last up to a year.
For the swimmers and winter athletes, a waterproof watch is a must to keep it working in all weathers. Each watch will have varying degrees of water-resistance, with some able to go diving. The models on this list range from protection against accidental water splash damage all the way up to 10ATM, letting you dive to 100m should you want to. All the models on this list will cope with rain-spatter and sweat, but you'll need to keep an eye on the water protection if you're taking yours into the pool.
Smartwatch notifications
Some of the devices below straddle that middle ground between smartwatch and fitness tracker and will allow you to send and receive texts and social media notifications away from your phone using 4G data connections.
You might not want to lug around your phone or iPod when you're trying to focus on improving your lap times, so you should pick up a Garmin watch that can Bluetooth connect to headphones and play your Spotify or Apple Music playlist. However, some will be able to store your playlists on the internal hard drive, ranging from 100 all the way up to 2,000 tracks.
You might also want to look to see if the watches below have Garmin's contactless payment system so you don't have to take your wallet out with you. As you'd expect, Garmin's smart watches will also have deeper storage capabilities and might even be bigger or heavier than the fitness trackers to fit more info on the display.
Garmin fēnix 6S Pro Solar Edition
The Best Option For Big Battery
Display size: 1.2"
Battery life: 10.5 days with solar (nine days without), up to 36 days in Battery Saver Mode
Waterproof: Yes, 10ATM
Smartwatch notifications: Calls, texts, and social media notifications
Number of exercises tracked: 32
Music: 2,000 songs
Strap material: Silicone
Storage: 32GB
One of the most expensive smartwatches on the market, the Fenix 6S Pro is the one to go for if a long battery life means a lot to you. It can last more than a month in "Battery Saver Mode" and also uses the power of the sun to charge it using the "Power Glass" solar charging feature.
It can track a wide range of sports – 32 in total ranging from cross-country skiing to golf, hiking, and swimming– with precision thanks to the built-in GPS. For the hikers, it has Garmin's "TOPO" mapping, which highlights trails and routes for you to explore in your area, and for the swimmers, it can be taken with you when diving down to 100m.
And if running is more your thing, use the PacePro feature to get real-time feedback on whether you're achieving the pace you set per mile and automatically adjusts it when required to make sure you still achieve your desired time.
The Stylish Smartwatch Option
Display size: 1.19"
Battery life: Smartwatch Mode up to five days, GPS mode with music up to six hours
Waterproof: Yes, 5ATM
Music: 500 songs
Storage: 3.5GB
A good option for someone who wants a stylish smartwatch that can also do some useful exercise tracking. Competitively priced, it costs around £60 less than the similarly well-equipped Apple Watch Series 6 but with all the same features you'd want from a smartwatch.
The big AMOLED touchscreen display is a slight design change from some of the more rugged and hardy looks you might see on the other Garmin models, but the display is clear and can be brightened for easy reading during evening runs in the dark.
It does receive the usual notifications of your modern smart watches, but it lacks voice activation or commands and a few other expected apps you'd want from a top-end device.
The Runner's Option
Available from Amazon (£228), John Lewis (£249.99)
Battery life: Smartwatch Mode up to seven days; GPS mode up to 24 hours
This one is for runners looking to beat their PB, thanks to the improved training programme and race prep features that plan out your routes using the built-in GPS –factoring in the terrain on your journey– and organises target paces for you to hit based on previous performance.
You can use the free Garmin Running Coach, which is available on all the Forerunner watches, giving you unique training plans so you're on track to reach your targets. The coach will also advise you on your running form to help with your performance and relieve stress on your knees and ankles while training.
The Forerunner 945 might be more advanced than this model, but it's still a great option to help you train.
Garmin Vivosmart 4
Best Entry-Level option
Available from John Lewis & Partners (£82.39), Amazon (£82.39) and eBay (£99.99).
Battery life: Seven days smart mode
Waterproof: 3ATM
Smartwatch notifications: Texts, calls, and smart notifications
GPS: No
Music: No
If this is to be your first fitness tracker, both regular gym-goers and those just starting out might enjoy the VivoSmart 4, which is great for tracking basic fitness stats like steps, heart-rate and your sleep at a budget price.
It will automatically detect when you start exercising and logs it accordingly without you having to start tracking the session manually.
It might be among the more basic devices on the market, akin to Fitbit's Inspire series, but for less than £100, it's an affordable tracker for those just beginning their fitness journey. And if you're already training hard, it can be an budget-friendly companion to keep you on top of your exercises.
Garmin Swim 2
The Swimmer's Option
Available from Amazon (£213.09) and John Lewis (£219.99).
Display size: 1.04in
Battery life: Smartwatch mode up to seven days, Pool mode up to 72 hours
Smartwatch notifications: Smart notifications, activity tracking
If the Forerunner series is specifically designed for runners, the Garmin Swim 2 is best for tracking water-based exercises.
Use the built-in GPS to assist training specifically in open water like lakes, oceans and rivers, giving you guidance on distance covered, where it is safe to swim, and how deep the water is wherever you are.
If you'd rather stay indoors, the "Pool Swim" mode will start recording distance, pace, stroke count and stroke type automatically once you enter the water, and it has a smart auto-rest feature which pauses tracking when you stop moving to take a break.
Garmin Vivosport
The Best Overall Option
Available from Amazon (£90), John Lewis (£90), and Currys (£99.99).
Battery life: GPS mode up to eight hours, smart mode up to seven days
Music: Yes
This one is one of the best all rounders when it comes to an activity tracker for fitness fanatics, with all the stat-tracking you'll need for your training regime.
This model competes with Fitbit's Charge series in terms of price, and offers similarly useful features like heart rate monitors, sleep tracking, and step/calorie counting that you'll find in most fitness trackers for a sub-£100 price-tag.
However, while it is waterproof according to the official Garmin site, it won't track swimming exercises, so you can take it in the pool with you, but it's better served as a running or cycling companion.
Garmin Vivofit Junior 2
The Kids Option
Battery life: Replaceable battery (lasts up to a year)
Smartwatch notifications: Reminders to exercise, and notifications when completing goals
If you're looking to get your kids into fitness, the Vivofit Junior 2 offers impressive fitness tracking for smaller wrists at a smaller price.
The waterproof watch to be a great way to encourage kids to get out, with interactive games and stories rewarding them every time they reach a goal. And this can be expanded to completing chores and housework based on a list you create in exchange for virtual currency they can spend on their watch.
You can also use a timer to encourage them to spend a full two minutes brushing their teeth twice a day.
Though you should take note that you can't change the strap of the activity tracker, which means your child could outgrow it.

Chemmanam Chacko (Malayalam:ചെമ്മനം ചാക്കോ) (March 7, 1926 – August 14, 2018) was an Indian satirical poet from Kerala, India. He died on 15 August 2018 at the age of 92 at his residence in Padamugal.

Poetry

Chacko's first published poem was 'Munnottu' (Forward) which appeared in a local weekly in 1946. The poem 'Kanakaaksharangal' published in 1967 brought him popularity. Chemmanam is famed for efficiently utilising satire in his poems as a means of social and political critique.

With the completion of the sale of the Blethen Maine Newspapers to its new owner, at least 31 and as many as 131 employees at the papers could lose their jobs.
Blethen Maine Newspapers, now owned by an investment group called MaineToday Media Inc., includes the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, Kennebec Journal in Augusta, and the (Waterville) Morning Sentinel. Together with the accompanying Web sites and niche print publications, these papers employ about 500 people.
Minus 30; as last week 31 non-union employees, including some senior managers, were told they wouldn't have jobs under the new MaineToday management. CEO of MaineToday Richard Connor said that future cuts might cut another 100 jobs, but for now the group is planning no immediate changes.
"With the exception that I am guessing somewhere in the next week we will be adding back some news space. Exactly how much I don't know," he told the Kennebec Journal.
130 jobs cut, bigger news hole…not exactly a fair trade, but it does stand in stark contrast to the usual cut-and-cut we see.

Radio legend Casey Kasem dead at 82
by: Kara Sutyak, Associated Press, CNNwire
(Photo Credit: CNN)
(CNN) — Casey Kasem, who entertained radio listeners for almost four decades as the host of countdown shows such as "American Top 40" and "Casey's Top 40," died early Sunday.
His daughter, Kerri Kasem, confirmed the news on her Facebook page.
She said, "Early this Father's Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends. Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken. Thank you for all your love, support and prayers."
The news was confirmed by Casey's Kasem's agent, Don Pitts, who added that a memorial service will be held Friday.
Casey Kasem was 82 and had been hospitalized in Washington state for two weeks.
"Early this Father's Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends," Kasem's children — Kerri, Mike and Julie — wrote in a statement released by Kasem's representative, Danny Deraney.
"Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken … The world will miss Casey Kasem, an incredible talent and humanitarian; we will miss our Dad."
Kasem's longtime friend, Gonzalo Venecia, and his younger brother, Mouner Kasem, were also with him when he died at St. Anthony's Hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington, at 3:25 a.m. Sunday, a family member said.
Casey Kasem had been suffering from Lewy body disease, the most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's.
He had recently been the subject of a bitter court battle involving three of his children by a previous marriage and his wife, Jean.
His oldest children, who challenged their stepmother for control of Kasem's medical decisions in his last months, are not fighting his wife for possession of his remains, a family member told CNN Sunday.
Daughter Julie Kasem will host a memorial celebration at her Northridge, Caifornia, home n Saturday, June 21, the family member said. No other funeral arrangements were yet known.
No autopsy is expected since Kasem died under a doctor's care in a hospital. The immediate cause of death was from sepsis caused by an ulcerated bedsore, the family member said.
In May, a California judge awarded Kerri Kasem temporary power of attorney after Jean Kasem took her husband out of a nursing home and moved him to Washington amid family feuding.
A Washington judge later allowed Kerri to visit her father in that state.
Casey Kasem was hospitalized after an argument between Jean and Kerri in which his wife threw meat at her stepdaughter.
Last week, a Los Angeles County judge gave daughter Kerri Kasem the authority to have doctors end his infusions of water, food and medicine.
Kasem was already a popular disc jockey in Los Angeles when he became the host of "American Top 40" in 1970. The syndicated show, which counted down the 40 most popular songs in the United States based on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 music chart, began on just seven radio stations but quickly became a mainstay of thousands, all around the world.
"When we first went on the air, I thought we would be around for at least 20 years. I knew the formula worked. I knew people tuned in to find out what the No. 1 record was," he told Variety in 1989.
Kasem's first No. 1, concluding the "AT40" premiere show of July 4, 1970, was Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)." His last on successor show "American Top 20," almost exactly 39 years later, was "Second Chance" by Shinedown.
But the show wasn't just about finding out who was No. 1.
Its features, included biographical details on performs, flashbacks, album cuts and Kasem's "long-distance dedication" for listeners who wrote to dedicate songs to friends and loved ones far away.
Kasem, whose baritone was always friendly and upbeat, delivered these in his most sympathetic voice, warm enough to melt butter. "Dear Casey," he began, and would read an emotional letter from a listener who wanted to connect with an old flame, express regret to a new love or send wishes to a far-flung family member.
The first one, for example, was from a male listener who wanted to dedicate Neil Diamond's "Desiree" to a sweetheart named Desiree who was moving to Germany.
The show, originally three hours, expanded to four in the late '70s.
In many ways, even as Top 40 radio moved from the AM to the FM dial and took on the name "Contemporary Hit Radio," "American Top 40" remained a throwback to the way the format was in the 1960s, with frequent number jingles ("Number 29!") and a fast-moving mix, though Kasem, in temperament, practically defined the laid-back hosts of the Me Decade. (The exception to the laid-back rule was a much-copied outtake, now readily available on the Internet, of Kasem exploding in anger over a long-distance dedication that succeeded an up-tempo record.)
The show inspired several imitators, including a television version, "America's Top 10," hosted by Kasem himself.
Kasem left "American Top 40" in 1988 over a contract dispute with ABC Radio Networks and signed with competitor Westwood One, for whom he started a show called "Casey's Top 40" in 1989. The new show used a different publication's chart, but it was the same old Casey: smooth, cheerful, full of information.
"The magic of Casey is that he is the ultimate professional in whatever he does. … He enlightens, he explores, he suggests, he provokes and he informs," fellow DJ Gary Owens told Billboard in 1997.
Kasem acquired the name "American Top 40" and in 1998 resumed hosting the program with a new syndicator. (The ABC show, with Shadoe Stevens replacing Kasem, had been canceled in 1995.) He handed off to Ryan Seacrest in 2004, though he continued with two other shows, "American Top 20" and "American Top 10," until signing off in 2009 — as always with his trademark line, "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars."
Kemal Amin Kasem was born in Detroit in 1932. He first tried radio while in high school but found he had a talent for it while serving in Korea with the Army. He was a DJ on the Armed Forces Radio Network.
After stops in several cities, including Flint, Michigan; Buffalo, New York; and San Francisco, he joined KRLA in Los Angeles in 1963, partly in hopes of an acting career. He did earn roles in a number of low-budget movies — the most famous of which was probably "The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant" (1971) — but his voice was always his ticket to fame, whether appearing on a Dick Clark-produced TV show, "Shebang," or voicing the character of Shaggy on the cartoon "Scooby-Doo," which premiered in 1969. (He also was the voice of Robin on "Super Friends.")
That voice became ubiquitous. He was NBC's promotional announcer in the late '70s and early '80s, and heard on dozens of commercials.
But "American Top 40" remains his legacy.
"Kasem started the show in 1970, a curious time to start a show about Top 40 mainstream pop, because the format had just been pronounced dead and progressive album-oriented radio was on the rise," wrote Susan Orlean in a 1990 New York Times Magazine profile. "He infused the show with corny reverence for conventional American values exactly when cynicism had become the more fashionable posture."
Kasem attributed his success to that everyday voice.
"It's not a clear-toned announcer's voice," he told the Times. "It's more like the voice of the guy next door."
Kasem is survived by his second wife, Jean, whom he married in 1985; and four children.

Missing ingredient for a local tech hub
In the last 10 or 11 years, since the onset of the Great Recession and a brain drain of millennials from the state, we're delighted to learn that large areas of southeast Michigan are growing as hubs of technology and innovation, countering that drain of talent, and drawing research, jobs and financial investment. Technological knowledge, creativity, innovation, talent and artistry are all prized attributes of entrepreneurs and employees, and are being successfully used to grow companies larger, and to develop smaller businesses that feed on one another.
Tech hubs are physical spaces, whether a city, suburb, university, or just a suite of offices, which have developed as an environment conducive to the growth of technological startup companies. In and around southeast Michigan, tech hubs have grown in downtown Detroit, midtown Detroit, Corktown, Rochester Hills/Auburn Hills, Farmington Hills and Ann Arbor. Tech hubs also grow when there is an economic environment that is supportive, offering shared workspaces and affordable housing.
When looking at the list of tech hubs, we note the lack of inclusion of Birmingham – with its plethora of educated, inquisitive and creative individuals. While several downtown Birmingham offices are occupied by members of the creative class – advertising agencies, social media firms, public relations firms and others populating the area – it would be exciting to witness – locally – the burgeoning of what is being referred to as Industry 4.0 – the fourth Industrial Revolution.
A necessary component to bringing in a younger, technologically-minded workforce is to create and offer more affordable residential options, so that in a municipality that has developed a thriving walkable downtown, has excellent public and private schools, low crime, and high quality of living standards, there is an organic hub which develops in Birmingham, with workers that choose to live, work and play in the city.
It's a topic that has started to surface on occasion at city government meetings, with a concern that the city's effort to develop an even higher residential density in the downtown area is stymied when the only new housing on the horizon is the million dollar plus variety.
Birmingham has done an admirable job of planning for the future but the one missing ingredient is the more affordable housing element.
The city has laid the groundwork as a center of creativity but more can be done.
As Oakland County Deputy of Economic Development Mike McCready said, "Everyone wants to be in Oakland County because you can't recruit someone for an executive position to a small town without access to shopping, social life, freeways, good schools, neighborhoods, and to the calibre of talent that is here." That also applies to drawing in the workers for tech and creative businesses.
The ingredients for the next creative and tech hub in Oakland County are in Birmingham. It's time to stir the pot, and add more affordable housing to the mix.

"Pöbel" ist inzwischen ein umgangssprachliches Schmähwort als Bezeichnung für ungebildete, unkultivierte Menschen aus der gesellschaftlichen Unterschicht, im Sinne von "rohe Volksmasse", "Gesindel". Ursprünglich standen die Vorformen "bovel", "povel" um das Jahr 1200 neutral für "Volk", im 16. Jahrhundert bezeichnete Pöbel das "gemeine Volk", ab dem 19. Jahrhundert die verelenden vorindustriellen Massen. Das umgangssprachliche Verb "pöbeln" steht für die öffentliche Provokation durch freche, beleidigende Äußerungen.

Herkunft und Verwendung

Die Bezeichnung Pöbel (mhd. povel, bovel) wurde im Mittelalter gegen 1200 aus dem altfranzösischen Wort poblo, pueble entlehnt, Dieses geht etymologisch ebenso wie das französische  'Volk' auf das lateinische  'Volk' zurück, so auch die damalige neutrale Bedeutung; mit Vorläufer-Schreibweisen wie Pübel, Pubel und Pobel. Die heutige Schreibweise Pöbel fand sich zuerst bei Martin Luther und stand für "gemeines Volk". Ab dem 17. Jahrhundert bezeichnete der Pöbel das niedere handarbeitende Volk unterhalb der ständischen Ehre. Ab den 1830er Jahren wurde der Begriff durch den des "Proletariats" abgelöst, der Pöbel war nun die gefährlich anwachsende, vorindustrielle Masse, die dem Pauperismus, der Verelendung anheim fiel; Ursache waren Überbevölkerung und fehlende Arbeitsmöglichkeiten angesichts der Schwäche der deutschen Industrie.  Inzwischen steht Pöbel in der Umgangssprache für ungebildete, unkultivierte, in der Masse gewaltbereite Menschen aus der gesellschaftlichen Unterschicht.

Die Ochlokratie wird im Deutschen meist als "Pöbelherrschaft" übersetzt.

Beispiele aus dem 16. bis 19. Jahrhundert
In seiner Schrift Wider die räuberischen und mörderischen Rotten der Bauern (1525) hat Martin Luther der Gewalt gegen den Pöbel eine göttliche Rechtfertigung gegeben: "Der Esel will Schläge haben und der Pöbel will mit Gewalt regiert sein. Das wusste Gott wohl, drum gab er der Obrigkeit nicht einen Fuchsschwanz, sondern ein Schwert in die Hand."

Die Allgemeine Schau-Bühne publizierte 1699: "Der erzürnete Pöbel aber lässet sich damit nicht begnügen / sondern plündert den Pallast."

Johann Gottfried Herder grenzte den Pöbel 1779 in Volkslieder klar vom Volk ab: "Volk heißt nicht der Pöbel auf den Gassen: der singt und dichtet niemals, sondern schreit und verstümmelt."

Noch im 18. Jahrhundert stand Pöbel für die "Schicht unterhalb der ständischen Ehre", unterhalb der Vollbauern und zünftigen Handwerksmeister, so der Sozialhistoriker Werner Conze. In den 1830er und 1840er Jahren wurde der Begriff des Pöbels durch den des Proletariats abgelöst, damit änderte sich seine Bedeutung.

In seinen Vorlesungen über die Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts (1820) von Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel kommt der Pöbel im Abschnitt über die Polizei (Die bürgerliche Gesellschaft, § 244/245) vor. In der Geschichte der Demokratie war der Hinweis auf den Pöbel eine Rechtfertigung für den Ausschluss vom Wahlrecht. Der preußische Reformer Freiherr vom Stein warnte im Jahr 1831 vor dem Provinziallandtag Westfalens vor der Gefahr, "die aus dem Wachstum der Zahl und der Ansprüche der untersten Klassen der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft entsteht. Diese Klasse besteht in den Städten aus dem heimatlosen, eigentumslosen Pöbel, auf dem Lande aus der Masse der kleinen Kötter, Brinksitzer, Neubauer, Einlieger, Heuerlinge; sie nährt und hegt in sich den Neid und die Habsucht."

Der Unternehmer Friedrich Harkort erklärte 1844 in seiner Schrift Bemerkungen über die Hindernisse der Zivilisation und Emanzipation der untern Klassen, es gehe um die "Rettung der Proletarier aus der Schmach und Not des Pöbeltums". Dagegen hat Karl Marx in der Beschäftigung mit Hegels Rechtsphilosophie den Begriff des Proletariats entwickelt, dem er eine historische Rolle bei der Verwirklichung der Philosophie zuschrieb. Empirisch wurde in der Arbeiterbewegung mit dem Begriff "Proletariat" der arbeitsame, bildungs- und organisationsfähige Teil der Menschen von dem Rest des "Pöbels" unterschieden, für den Marx das Wort Lumpenproletariat prägte.

Verwandte Begriffe
 Ebenfalls von  stammen die deutschen Begriffe "populär" und "Popularität" ab.
 Ohne pejorativen Beigeschmack ist das heute veraltete Verb pöblieren (auch peuplieren) für "bevölkern" bzw. "besiedeln", das in der Zeit des Absolutismus bzw. Merkantilismus und auch noch danach im Zusammenhang einer Bevölkerungspolitik verwendet wurde, die auf ein Anwachsen der Bevölkerung in einem Gebiet – besonders durch geplante Zuwanderung – gerichtet war (Landesausbau).
 Seit den 1980er Jahren wird die Bezeichnung "Proll" (aus Prolet) ähnlich dem abschätzigen Pöbel verwendet.
