Four point charges +5 mC, +2 mC, +10mC and +2 mC are kept at the corners of a square of side 10 cm. A charge q=+1mC is placed at its centre. Find the net force on q.
Calculate the distance between two prorons such that the electrostatic force between them is equal to the weight of either.
Two point charges are 0.1 m apart and their combined charge is 9 mC. If they repel each other with a force 18N, then calculate the magnitude of each charge.
A proton moves through a uniform electric field of 5.01 x 10 3 N/C. Calculate (a) the accelerationwith which the proton is moving and (b) the time taken by the proton to cover a distance of 4.8 cm.
Two identical balls each carrying a charge Q are suspended from a common point by two strings of equal length l. Calculate the mass of each ball if the angle between "the strings is 2q in equilibrium.
Nice questions. Can you send me the solutions ??


Do you want to understand how GPS or cell phones work? MP3 or JPEG compression? Are you playing with image processing? Solving PDEs? Learning about how to process ice-penetrating radar data used for studying Antarctica? (errrr...that's me.) Convolution and the Fourier transform are mathematical tools that make all of these possible. I think that the way these tools are usually presented is intimidating and non-intuitive. I think in pictures, not equations, so this talk attempts to give a graphical intuition of what these techniques actually do and where they can be useful, with examples from my own work.

This older cottage was as advertised. Rustic. We did not mind no internet, not TV, we were there for the beach! Just a short walk over a sandy hill to the beach. I was a little disappointed with the beach. The path was grown over with grass and hard to walk through. The beach was also very grassy, but we enjoyed our time nonetheless. Although the cottage was old and needed some aesthetic repairs (deteriorating baseboards, etc), overall it was clean and well stocked. Except for towels. We were told towels were provided but couldn't find any. We ended up buying some at Wal-mart when we went to town for groceries. I do have a physical disability and found the stairs challenging, but that was my choice. The hill to the beach was more difficult than I expected, by my friends climbed it without difficulty. Quiet and somewhat secluded was a bonus! I would stay here again.
Thank you for your review of Rustic Charm. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and will certainly bring up your suggestions to the property owners. Hope to have you visit with us again soon!

Bill Murray, Selena Gomez Movie Wraps Up Local Filming
Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Turner
An upcoming feature film starring Bill Murray, Selena Gomez, and others has finished filming in the Hudson Valley. NewYorkUpstate.com reports the movie was filmed in various locations in Ulster and Delaware counties. Has anyone seen Bill Murray wandering around Kingston? He's not lost just working.
'The Dead Don't Die' also features Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Danny Glover, Tilda Swinton, Steve Buscemi along with Hudson Valley resident Daniel Craig. Little is known about the plot of this zombie-themed film other than there are comedic elements to the film. In an article with the Philidelphia Enquirer earlier this summer, Murray was quoted as saying the script was hilarious and the movie had a great cast.
The impact of the movie industry continues to have a positive effect on the area. In a recent Poughkeepsie Journal article, Hudson Valley Film Commission director Laurent Rejto said the movie is having a bigger economic impact on the area than John Krasinski's 'A Quiet Place' which was just released in March of this year.

Benefits of Bamboo in Carbon Control
May 25, 2019 No Comments 1,127 Views radiant
Grow Bamboo and Capture Carbon
Aggressive promotion of growing bamboo is very much needed in India to increase forest cover to sequester increasing amounts of carbon dioxide
Bamboo as carbon sequester, yes it is. But sadly it has been neglected and ignored very often. But now, a body of evidence is emerging that shows bamboo captures carbon quickly, while it also rapidly rejuvenates degraded lands, restoring soil fertility.
Capturing carbon dioxide from the air is an important way to combat climate change, which is being caused by emission of excess carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Plants use carbon dioxide from the air to manufacture food, so growing plants is the best to do this.
India had told the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change that it would create an additional carbon sink of 2.5-3 GtCO2e (gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) through afforestation by 2030, as a key part of the targets it set for itself under the 2015 Paris Agreement. But India's 2018 report to the convention secretariat showed that growing forests is the one area where the country is lagging behind its target.
With most of India's designated forest lands degraded, planting bamboo can be the first stage in long-term agroforestry and agricultural redevelopment, scientists say. The latest report from INBAR (International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation), an intergovernmental organisation of 43 countries, emphasises the point.
The speed with which a plant grows has a part in determining how much carbon dioxide it can absorb in a given time. In a paper submitted at the National Workshop on Global Warming and its Applications for Kerala, researchers of Thrissur-based College of Forestry say, "Bamboo potentially acts as a valuable sink for carbon storage, and on an average, one hectare of bamboo absorbs about 17 tonnes of carbon per year."
The carbon sequestration properties of bamboo have been studied in countries where it naturally forms wild forests, such as Mexico and China. For instance, a bamboo species, Guadua angustifolia , found in Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia, has shown to grow up to 25 metres in height and 22 cm in girth, with each plant weighing up to 100 kg.
Significance of bamboo groves
Bamboo can grow at the rate of up to 1.2 metres per day, making it one of the fastest growing plants. Due to this, it takes only three years to establish mature groves. As a result, bamboos are effective carbon dioxide absorbers, not only above ground carbon (AGC), but also below-ground carbon (BGC) in roots, and rhizomes. To a lesser extent, it absorbs soil organic carbon (SOC) too. Importantly, growing out of a tangle of underground stems, bamboo can help reforest landscapes denuded by development or natural disasters, binding topsoil to prevent erosion.
In India, bamboo has been reclassified as a grass rather than a tree with an amendment to the Indian Forest Act. Scientists say now is the time for planners to push growing bamboo in degraded forests and wasteland. While moving the amendment, Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan had said in November 2017 that this would create a viable option for cultivation in 12.6 million hectares of cultivable wasteland, ushering in the "twin objectives" of increasing the income of farmers and the country's green cover.
Efforts to study the role that plants play in climate change mitigation are increasing. Most researchers focus on the promise of large, leafy trees. The bigger the plant, the more carbon dioxide it absorbs. However, increasing evidence points to bamboo being a surprising grassy climate change warrior. Grown as a low-cost sustainable, household-level commercial plantation, it can be introduced, adopted and scaled-up to secure water catchments and protect erodible soils.
It also has the potential to generate employment and high income, while at the same time significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There is an urgent need to devise ways to absorb excess greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
India is the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China, the US, and the European Union. India's emissions increased by an alarming 4.7% in 2016 compared to the previous year. However, India's emissions per head are among the lowest in the world.
A forest-specific mechanism, called the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and enhancing forest carbon stocks in developing countries is considered a central component of a post-Kyoto climate agreement. The evolving REDD+ programme provides financial incentives to help developing countries like India to shrink their deforestation rates.
According to Arun Jyoti Nath, Assistant Professor of Ecology and Environmental Science at Assam University, the evolving REDD+ programme with its positive financial incentives is likely to assist India in reducing its deforestation rates., "Incorporating bamboo in REDD+ can be seen as an offset scheme within carbon markets and carbon farming," he says. "Importantly, carbon trading is the important strategy that will facilitate earning of carbon credits."
Bamboo coverage
Presently, bamboo occupies an area of 36 million hectares worldwide, which is equivalent to 3.2% of the total forest area in the world. India, a major bamboo producing country, grows bamboo on nearly 11.4 million hectares. Of the 125 varieties grown in India, 18 varieties have the potential for afforestation, but the need is to zero on in on varieties keeping in mind different agro-climatic zones in the country.
"Though the country's bamboo cover is mostly concentrated in the North-Eastern states, all states hold promise for bamboo cultivation, specifically the Western Ghats region, a significant source of moisture for monsoon and which runs along the west coast of peninsular India," says K.C. Koshy, formerly head of Plant Genetic Resources Division of the Kerala-based Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden & Research Institute.
China has shown the way by increasing its bamboo cover for industrial purposes, unlike India, which has failed to do much despite its large-scale availability. Even the centrally sponsored scheme of National Bamboo Mission (NBM), under the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, which has an allocation of INR 129 billion (USD 1.81 billion) in the 2018-19 Union Budget, has no allocation for R&D, despite experts seeking R&D money for decades.
According to proceedings of the 7th Chinese National Forestry Inventory (State Forestry Administration of People's Republic of China 2010), the area of bamboo resources in China grew from 4.84 million hectares in 2004 to 5.38 million in 2008, thus experiencing a growth of 11.18% in five years, with an average annual growth of 2.24%.
A hands-on approach needs to be taken to bring more lands, be it wastelands, river banks and basins under bamboo cover, stresses Hemant Bedekar, a botanist by education and horticulturist by profession, and executive director of Bamboo Society of India (Maharashtra Chapter).
"The Forest Department officials who run the NBM recommend the tissue culture varieties without the support of studies about their survival and performance in a specific agro-climate, which may result in lower yields, invite new diseases and pests and ultimately result in less output," he says. "The country's research institutes need to step in to conduct multi-location trials on the performance of various species in all or specific agro-climatic zones and based on the results promote them."
However, it is essential to keep in mind that afforestation has to have a proper mix of bamboo and other tree varieties, as elaborated by María Genoveva Gatti, biologist at the Institute of Subtropical Biology and one of the authors of a new study reported in the journal Forest Ecology and Management, which sheds light on the mechanisms behind the loss in carbon fixation of subtropical forests.
"The soil contains more carbon than the atmosphere and the vegetation. This is why we wanted to look at the effect of tree replacement on soil carbon storage," she says. "The replacement of trees by bamboos produces a cascade effect from the vegetation to the soil, implying that a disturbed forest is not delivering the same ecological service as a non-degraded forest."
As reforestation, afforestation and REDD+ are eligible for carbon trading, bamboo afforestation activities can be brought under CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), making it a people-centric activity rather than the State's responsibility to meet the 12-year deadline to restrain the rise in planetary temperatures.
If adequate mechanisms are in place, there are possibilities for India too to incorporate bamboo CSR and earn credit, says Nath. He goes on to add that the CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) Executive Board, which supervises the Kyoto Protocol's clean development mechanism under the COP (Conference of Parties) in its 39th meeting decided that "palm (trees) and bamboos are equivalent to trees in the context of afforestation and reforestation."
Following this, the Food and Trees for Africa's (FTFA) Bamboo for Africa programme has been certified under the verified carbon standard and is the first accreditation for bamboo in the world (FTFA 2012).
Including bamboo in climate change mitigation, adaptation, land restoration and restoration strategies makes national plans more effective and brings a host of climate-smart options to national and regional climate change strategies, experts say.
Bamboo in Landscaping
Bamboo scares some people because it grows very fast. But using bamboos in landscaping has its own advantage apart from capturing Carbon in your house. Like,
Bamboo lends visual interest and striking design to a landscape given the dramatic height it can reach, as well as variation in leaf size, shape and colour.
Bamboo does not need pesticides or fertilizers to grow and requires very little water as opposed to other plants.
Bamboo comes in hundreds of varieties, and in varying heights and colors for any nmber of landscaping applications.
Bamboo plants grow successfully in a range of climatic conditions
Bamboo is easy to grow
Bamboo is evergreen
Bamboo is self-renewing.
Bamboo is a gorgeous, functional, and eco-friendly addition to any garden. So, what do you think for considering adding it to your landscape?

Geochemistry of Schists of Northwest Obudu Plateau, Southeastern Nigeria
YE Obioha
BN Ekwueme
Precambrian, highly foliated, fine – medium grained schists, which comprise migmatitic schist (MS), quartz mica schist (QMS), biotite mica schist (BMS) and hornblende biotite schist (HBS) constitute important lithological unit in Northwest Obudu Plateau. The schists are associated with gneisses, amphibolites and metaquartzites, and variously intruded by granites, pegmatites and quartzo-feldspathic veins. Sedimentary rocks, which are mostly Cretaceous sandstones, flank the western margin of the study area. Modal analysis shows that all the schists are enriched in quartz, plagioclase (An32), biotite and garnet, except the HBS which is relatively depleted in quartz but highly enriched in biotite (25 vol. %) and hornblende (55 vol. %). Sillimanite and epidote occur in accessory amounts. The co-existence of quartz- plagioclase (An32)- garnet-biotite- muscovite- sillimanite in the MS assemblage indicates that the Schists are derivatives of metamorphism of pelitic and mafic rocks, which had attained the uppermost amphibolite facies grade. Geochemically, the schists are enriched in Si02, which ranges from 60.11 wt % in the HBS, rising to 62.94 wt % in the BMS and 66.58 wt % in the QMS, with average of 64.56 wt %. The high SiO2 content points to a probable effect of an intruding granitic magma on the Pan – African schists. The Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, CaO and alkalies are relatively moderate to high. The samples are quartz normative, have high molecular value of Al2O3 > {CaO + Na2O + K2O}. Plots in chemical discrimination diagrams confirm the peraluminous characteristics of the schist and suggest pelitic rock protolith except for the HBS.
Keywords: Petrochemistry, Obudu Plateau, Protolith, Metapelite, Precambrian, Uppermost Amphibolite Facies

Scientists have effectively turned E. coli (the stuff that can give you a bad case of food poisoning) into a mini hard drive.
In a new study in the journal Nature, researchers from Harvard University have managed to encode a short video into the DNA of a living cell. Just like downloading a film from a USB stick, they were then able to retrieve the video from the cell and replay it. Scientists have been able to "upload" data onto DNA before but this is the first time a video has been replayed from the bacteria.
The team also recorded a human handprint in a nod to the first cave paintings. To the left is an image of a human hand, which was encoded into nucleotides and captured by the CRISPR-Cas adaptation system in living bacteria. To the right is the image after multiple generations of bacterial growth, recovered by sequencing bacterial genomes.
Think of it like this: DNA is essentially just a way of storing information, not dissimilar from digital storage. Instead of coding for data in 1s and 0s like a hard drive, DNA uses four nucleotide bases that code the information instead.
"We then provided spacer collections for consecutive frames chronologically to a population of bacteria which, using Cas1/Cas2 activity, added them to the CRISPR arrays in their genomes," he added.
The movie that the researchers selected consisted of five frames adapted from British photographer Eadweard Muybridge's Human and Animal Locomotion series.
The frames of the video are from one of the earliest precursors to motion film, Sallie Gardner at a Gallop. This series of photographs depict a horse galloping, taken in 1878 by British photography pioneer Eadweard Muybridge. When the photos are put together, they create an animation effect. The original photographs have acquired an iconic status in the world of motion film but the original purpose of the photo shoot was simply to find out whether a horse ever lifts all four feet completely off the ground during a gallop.
The advance in this study is a proof-of-concept to demonstrate the possibilities of using DNA to store data. It might just sound like a gimmick but considering how much data we are continually pumping out, it could be the key to resolving our data storage woes.
DNA is ultra-compact, meaning you could theoretically store all the world's data in just one room. It also has the ability to be stored for hundreds of thousands of years if it's kept under the right conditions.
Crispr technology precisely changes small parts of genetic code.
Unlike other gene-silencing tools, the Crispr system targets the genome's source material and permanently turns off genes at the DNA level.
The DNA cut – known as a double strand break – closely mimics the kinds of mutations that occur naturally, for instance after chronic sun exposure.
But unlike UV rays that can result in genetic alterations, the Crispr system causes a mutation at a precise location in the genome.
When cellular machinery repairs the DNA break, it removes a small snip of DNA. In this way, researchers can precisely turn off specific genes in the genome.
But other than Cas9, now famous as a widely used genome-engineering tool, other parts of the CRISPR system so far have not been much exploited.
'We designed strategies that essentially translate the digital information contained in each pixel of an image or frame as well as the frame number into a DNA code, that, with additional sequences, is incorporated into spacers.
'Each frame thus becomes a collection of spacers,' Shipman said.
'One day, we may be able to follow all the developmental decisions that a differentiating neuron is taking from an early stem cell to a highly-specialized type of cell in the brain, leading to a better understanding of how basic biological and developmental processes are choreographed,' said Shipman.


Cannabis tourism is already a big deal all over the world and is only set to go on exploding in popularity and importance. With every state, region and country that gets on board with relaxed pot legislation, new opportunities open up for those looking to sample what's on offer overseas. The United States and Canada are leading the charge right now, but it's only a matter of time until the same example is followed in various other global regions.
In the meantime though, it's a case of taking stock of where you can get your hands on some of the best buds on Earth while at the same time enjoying some of the most awesome places. Which is why we've compiled a list of the very best cannabis holiday destinations right now, which are more than worth checking out at any time of the year.
Kicking off with a clear winner in more ways than one, Portland will always score huge brownie points among national and international smoking communities. Not only does it have the claim to fame of being one the first states in the US to legalize recreational cannabis use, but it has a culture charm that just couldn't suit its relaxed attitudes any better. Relaxed, laid back, bohemian, forward-thinking and genuinely gorgeous from end to end, Portland is home to the first ever cannabis café and a growing number of important annual cannabis events.
Contrary to widespread belief, cannabis remains an illegal substance in Jamaica. At least technically, anyway. Not that you'll have any trouble getting your hands on some of the world's finest bud – it's on sale all over the place and there are even weed tasting tours available. It's pretty cheap compared to most other places too. The sun, the sea, the sand and the sublime music that just seems to drift around in the air 24/7 – it all makes for a seriously incredible weed holiday. You just have to be a bit more careful than you'd expect – you can't just blaze up anywhere that takes your fancy and expect not to get in trouble.
Another pioneering city that set a great example for its neighbors to follow, the relaxation of medical pot legislation in Seattle allowed it to become a true pioneer for research and development. If you have the necessary papers from a doctor, you can't be criminally charged with possession or use of cannabis. In fact in 2012 it became the first US state to legalize cannabis use so that no criminal charges would be brought against anyone at all found to be in possession of weed. So now cannabis is widely available and the quality is incredible. Oh, and Seattle itself is a pretty extraordinary city too!
How do the folks in Christiania get way with weed when the rest of Denmark doesn't allow it? The same way any other would – declare yourself an independent region and make your own rules! It's not as if they are totally above and beyond the law, but they do host a fantastic farmer's market for high-end weed in their own 'Green Light District'. It's a tiny place that's become a real hit among tourists looking for something seriously epic to do for a few days.
If you're willing to head a little (or a lot) further afield, you really should consider checking out the gorgeous little town of Nimbin, high in the mountains of New South Wales. There are only about 400 permanent residents here and while Canberra has a relaxed attitude to pot these days, the folks in Nimbin take things to a whole new level. They basically write their own rule book here and there are barely any rules in it at all! They even host the Hemp Olympics each year as part of their Mardi Grass festival, which includes an array of events like Speed Rolling and Bong Throwing!
The cannabis scene in Canada is set to become just about the most exciting in the world pretty soon – it's already pretty epic in Vancouver. Recreational cannabis use is set to be legalized fully in 2018, but right now it's largely impossible to get into trouble with weed unless you're growing more than 5 plants for personal use, or carrying kilos of the stuff. The BC pot industry currently generates more than $6 billion every year and the way they produce things on an industrial scale across the country is simply mind-blowing.
Very much a leading cannabis tourist destination. Since recreational cannabis was made legal for both tourists and residents alike in 2016 a thriving culture has been created with high end dispensaries, cannabis tours of the best the city has to offer including glass blowers and growers, restaurants and lounges to chill and consume some of the worlds finest bud. However, Denver is far more than just a cannabis destination, nearby you can access the Rocky Mountains and go skiing, visit world class museums and galleries, hike and head to some incredible restaurants.
Since early 2018 cannabis became legal for everyday use in Oakland. Even before cannabis became legal Oakland really went to town with the state's relaxed policy on medical cannabis, playing host to its very own weed university, plenty of retail stores selling growing equipment and a good handful of coffee shops. Unless you're a big-time dealer or working for one, the cops don't seem to care.
Undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Prague is also a mecca for recreational drug use. Across the Czech Republic as a whole, drugs like speed, LSD, cocaine and cannabis are ALL decriminalized. Which means you're good for up to 5 plants in your home and 15 grams on your person, without even getting so much as a slap on the wrist. It's also an incredibly relaxed and atmospheric place in general – absolutely perfect for a weed vacation.
Buying and selling pot in Spain remains illegal, as does public marijuana use. However, the fact that you can grow your own and carry up to 40 grams at any one time makes it an absolute mecca for stoners on tour. Incredible beaches, awesome nightlife and the promise of being able to find world-class weed on a whim – anywhere and anytime, not to mention a well developed network of cannabis clubs.
Last but not least, to not mention Amsterdam in this list would be a criminal act in its own right. While cannabis still remains an illegal drug in the Netherlands, it has nonetheless been tolerated and decriminalized for decades. They tried to strengthen cannabis laws in 2012 to make it harder for tourists to purchase, but most jurisdictions simply decided not to enforce it. But given the fact that cannabis pulls in such huge tax contributions, tourist numbers and economic prowess in general, it's not as if anybody was particularly upset!
There are of course many more amazing destinations. Tell us your favorites below.

Q: Spotify iOS SDK Refresh Tokens Evening all!
Quick question for all of those who are familiar with the Spotify iOS SDK .
(Please note: For those who don't, please don't provide any assistance because it is a procedural question rather than a programatic question).
So, I have successfully authenticated and received a session token (and accompanying Refresh_Token on the server). My understanding is that the Refresh_Token is not passed back to the iOS app and should be stored on the server to be used when the original session has expired and you need to renew without user interaction.
My question is how are people storing the Refresh_Token? Surely you would need to store it alongside the user's Spotify username (which is never disclosed to the tokenswap server?!). How would I go about getting the username?
I've played around to see what gets passed to the Token Swap server, when you first request a session, it passes Code and returns Session, Bearer, Expires and Refresh Token. When you ask for a renew, it passes the Spotify username only. So I don't have anything which is kept the same across both requests to use as a unique identifier of which user is making the request.
Hopefully, that can be understood! Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification!!
Thanks!

A: The Spotify iOS SDK ships with a token swap server that stores refresh tokens by username for you. Open it up and you'll have en example on how to do exactly what you want to do:
https://github.com/spotify/ios-sdk/blob/master/Demo%20Projects/spotify_token_swap.rb
Basically, have your token swap server do a request to the /me endpoint to get the username.

Infrastructure & Construction
ND industry, state officials address flaring concerns
By Patrick C. Miller | February 20, 2018
Gas flaring is once again on the minds of North Dakota regulators and Bakken operators, causing the North Dakota Petroleum Council (NDPC) to reconvene its Natural Gas Capture and Infrastructure Development Task Force.
The group met last week to establish goals and will begin collecting and analyzing data to find common challenges that can be addressed through industry-wide coordinated efforts. North Dakota producers are currently required to capture 87 percent of produced gas. In November this year, the requirement will increase to 88 percent.
"Our task force model has been successful in the past and helped industry continually meet or exceed its gas capture goals," said Ron Ness, NDPC president. "The multi-year industry downturn and changes over the past two years, however, have created new challenges that need to be addressed."
Lynn Helms, director of North Dakota's Department of Mineral Resources, said the situation has changed since 2016 and 2017 when there was little profit in capturing and processing natural gas, which meant there was no spare capacity for growth.
"It's great news that natural gas and NGLs are profitable now," he said. "They are generating money, and that money is going to be reinvested into bigger pipes, compressors and gas plants."
According to Helms, the areas of greatest concern are on tribal land in northern Dunn County and eastern McKenzie County where obtaining pipeline right of ways is often a long and difficult process. In recent discussion with the Three Affiliated Tribes, he said it was determined that the slowdowns were caused by Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) regulations, not the tribal government.
"There are conversations going on about how we can take some of the hurdles out of the right-of-way process," Helms noted. "There are numerous approvals required. It seems like pipeline by pipeline, they're still doing environmental assessments."
Helms noted that a primary goal this spring is to hold a meeting between U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, state officials, the BIA and tribal officials to work on solutions. "That's probably the No. 1 thing," Helms said.
The NDPC task force has established six subcommittees that will closely examine key challenges, including additional infrastructure buildout, right-of-way and tribal regulatory challenges, H2S contamination, remote capture technologies, new operator engagement, and reworking of the gas capture plan requirements to better meet the needs of a changing and technologically advancing oilfield.
The group consists of more than 60 people representing all of North Dakota's major producers and midstream companies. It will meet monthly and plans to report back to the North Dakota Industrial Commission regularly. By mid-May, the task force expects to have recommendations developed on how to increase gas capture.
"In just four years since this task force was first formed and came out with its initial findings and recommendations, so much has changed," said Ness. "It became clear we needed to revisit this issue in a rapidly changing environment and pursue new innovations and new ideas to ensure we're continuing to meet our goals and capture more natural gas for the benefit of mineral owners, value-added markets and the state as a whole."
During his monthly report on oil and gas activity in North Dakota, Helms stressed his primary message to the state's oil and gas producers.
"The biggest thing industry could do is that when somebody brings you an infrastructure project, commit," he said. "The only way that gathering and processing and export capacity is going to get built is if operators will commit their oil and gas to those projects so they can get funded and permitted and built."

La merindad menor de Campoo fue una antigua división administrativa del Reino de Castilla desgajada en 1481 de la Merindad de Aguilar de Campoo. Ocupó las zonas que esta última poseía en la actual comunidad autónoma de Cantabria, estableciendo su sede en Reinosa. En 1489 pasó a convertirse en partido. En la Corona de Castilla las merindades, habituales al norte del río Duero, funcionaron como demarcaciones fiscales.

En origen estaba formada por las hermandades de Campoo de Enmedio, Campoo de Suso, Campoo de Yuso, Valdeolea, Valdeprado (la última en crearse en el año 1503), Los Carabeos y Cinco Villas. Cada hermandad elegía anualmente a un procurador síndico general, vocal nato en las juntas del Ayuntamiento General de la Merindad de Campoo. Dicho oficial era también presidente de la junta de hermandad, compuesta por los regidores y fieles-diputados de los concejos. El procurador síndico general, los regidores y fieles celebraban una junta anual, presidida por el corregidor de Reinosa. En 1521, durante la Revolución de las Comunidades de Castilla, la Merindad de Campoo acogió al corregidor Urrez enviado por la Santa Junta y formó un ejército de 8000 hombres, en su mayoría campesinos.

Durante el Antiguo Régimen, las siete hermandades, la villa de Reinosa y Valderredible (que se unió más tarde) formaron parte de la jurisdicción conocida como Corregimiento de Reinosa y Merindad de Campoo (conocido después como Partido de Reinosa).

Tras la llegada al poder de la dinastía de los Borbones a comienzos del siglo XVIII, se trató de generalizar y uniformar la división territorial del estado, creando intendencias que reunieran las funciones de justicia, policía, finanzas y guerra. De esta forma la merindad pasó a formar parte de la provincia de Toro (posteriormente de la de provincia de Palencia). Finalmente, en 1833, la antigua merindad quedó integrada definitivamente en la provincia de Santander. Con la llegada a España de la democracia a finales del siglo XX, se constituyó la comunidad autónoma de Cantabria, donde la antigua Merindad de Campoo quedó integrada con el nombre de comarca de Campoo-Los Valles, con la ciudad de Reinosa como núcleo principal.

Q: Node.js msnodesqlv8 module not installing in macOS ARM64 I'm working on macOS 11.3.1 ARM64 and I'm trying to install with npm the msnodesqlv8 in my node.js project. I've my homebrew installed in /opt/homebrew/bin/brew, and I've installed with brew the ODBC driver for SQLServer with these commands:
brew tap microsoft/mssql-release https://github.com/Microsoft/homebrew-mssql-release
brew update
HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_FILTERING=1 ACCEPT_EULA=Y brew install msodbcsql17 mssql-tools

I've also unixodbc installed.
It seems it's not pointing to the lib in my /opt/homebrew/lib (Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/msodbcsql17/lib/libmsodbcsql.17.dylib)
There's also a problem related with the sqltypes.h file. I did many researches but none solved my problem.
This is the output:

These lines are in my .bash_profile:

EDIT: In addition I tried to create symlinks to the homebrew lib. When running the sqlcmd command it says:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libodbc.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/homebrew/bin/sqlcmd
  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:

    /opt/homebrew/Cellar/unixodbc/2.3.9_1/lib/libodbc.2.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

It seems it's not supported for M1 architecture yet (?). Is there any workaround?
If any extra informations needed to help me figuring out how to solve the problem, please tell me.
Thanks in advance

A: Microsoft has added support for Apple's M1 chip. I still got this issue though. I was able to resolve by building msnodesqlv8 locally and updating the binding.gyp file. Find the OS=="mac" section and change it to this:
        ['OS=="mac"', {
            'link_settings': {
             'libraries': ['/opt/homebrew/lib/libodbc.a'],
            },
            'defines': [
              'LINUX_BUILD',
              'UNICODE'
            ],
            'cflags_cc': [
              '-std=c++1y'
            ],
            'include_dirs': [
              '/usr/local/include/',
              '/usr/local/opt/msodbcsql17/include/',
              '/usr/local/opt/msodbcsql17/include/msodbcsql17/',
              '/opt/homebrew/include',
              '/opt/homebrew/include/msodbcsql17'
            ],
        }]

I was then able to build and then in my project that used this module, I just updated the package.json to point to this local version.
Homebrew moved their Apple silicon packages to /opt/homebrew, so we're updating the linker settings to point to the right library (/opt/homebrew/lib/libodbc.a) and then adding the Homebrew include folders (/opt/homebrew/include and /opt/homebrew/include/msodbcsql17). And make sure msodbcsql17 is >= 17.8.1 as this is the earliest version that supports Apple's ARM platform.

A: I solved creating a second environment of brew under /usr/local using my terminal under Rosetta for x86_64 architecture. I reinstalled the mssql-tools and msodbcsql17 packages and now reinstalling the msnodesqlv8 module with npm it successfully succeeded.
We'll wait until Microsoft will support ODBC driver for ARM64..

Q: IE10 table-layout:fixed broken if colspan is used The following HTML renders perfectly in all common browsers including IE7-9 but fails in IE10. Even when running IE10 in compatibility mode, it fails.

        <colgroup>
            <col style="width:100px" ></col>
            <col ></col>
            <col style="width:100px" ></col>
            <col ></col>
        </colgroup>

 red

 green

While in all other browsers the 2 cells are equal in size, on IE10 (at least when running on Windows7) the first cell is wider than the second.
This HTML in IE 9/Windows 7:

Same HTML in IE 10/Windows 7:

Testpage: http://www.dinkypage.com/167605
Reported Bug: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/781009/ie-10-fails-to-render-tables-width-fixed-layout-correctly
Does anyone know solution/workaround for this problem?
UPDATE: I asked Microsoft to re-open my reported bug because it's a violation of the w3c standard. The answer is:

"The issue you are reporting is by design. Internet Explorer only uses the first set of TD tags to set the width for a column.".

The w3c standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#fixed-table-layout) says:

In the fixed table layout algorithm, the width of each column is determined as follows:

*

*A column element with a value other than 'auto' for the 'width' property sets the width for that column.

*Otherwise, a cell in the first row with a value other than 'auto' for the 'width' property determines the width for that column. If the cell spans more than one column, the width is divided over the columns.

*Any remaining columns equally divide the remaining horizontal table space (minus borders or cell spacing).

That means, this function is broken by design in IE 10. I recommend to use a different browser or stay with IE 9...

A: My current workaround is the following style:
@media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) {
  table colgroup { display: table-row; }
  table colgroup col { display: table-cell; }
}

This makes the browser handle colgroup/col like tr/td and is similar to Teemu's suggestion (but without ugly html hacks). The media selector makes the css only visible to IE10+

A: I ran into this, in IE9 actually. The only solution I found was, indeed, to put in a hidden dummy first row in the table:

Then, to get rid of the resulting gap, I apply a negative margin-top to the entire table. Not elegant, but it seems to get the job done.

A: I usually make like this
<colgroup width="100%"> // for table a whole
    <col width="50%">   // for each column
    <col width="50%">
</colgroup>

50% for 2 columns, 33% for 3, etc.
This worked for IE10.

"I hurt my back bending over one day and ended up falling over in pain.I was unable to straighten my back when walking and I had low back pain for over seven months.For two and a half months I was on heavy medications that were making me sleep 12 to 16 hours per day.
I am glad that I was convinced to go to LaserHealth® Solutions.I tend to suffer for a long time with my pain problems before doing anything.I had 12 treatments over five weeks and felt absolutely great.I walked out of their office with no pain.During my drive home, 15 minutes after leaving their office, I was rear-ended after a city bus pulled out in front of me.
I immediately went to see my doctor who diagnosed me with whiplash in my neck, upper, and lower back.My doctor asked me to go to another medical office for treatments; however I didn't want to change what had worked for me in the past so I told her that I wanted to go back to LaserHealth® Solutions.You can't imagine how frustrated I was to have only such a short period of pain relief after completing my treatments.

4 things we learned from Sean McDermott about Bills-Raiders week
Jourdon LaBarber
Contributing Correspondent

1. Injury updates
Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown will not practice with the team Wednesday, head coach Sean McDermott announced. McDermott mentioned that cornerback Josh Norman would practice with the team but his injured reserve designation would not change at this point.
Brown left Buffalo's win over Los Angeles on Sunday with a calf injury after amassing 152 yards and two touchdowns on 10 receptions over the first two games of the season. McDermott said it had not yet been determined if the receiver will be able to play against Las Vegas this Sunday.
Norman has been sidelined since training camp with a hamstring injury but is eligible to return from injured reserve this week.
"He'll be out at practice today," McDermott said on Norman. "No change in terms of his designation at this point."
McDermott also announced that linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano – both of whom returned from one-week absences against Los Angeles – would be participating in practice.
Here are three more takeaways from McDermott's availability on Wednesday.

Statement from the Bills on fans in stadium
2. Addressing the COVID-19 situation in Tennessee
The NFL announced that the Tennessee Titans – Buffalo's Week 5 opponent – would have their game against Pittsburgh rescheduled after testing on Tuesday returned three new player positives and five new personnel positives.
Tennessee's game, originally scheduled for Sunday, will now be held either Monday or Tuesday, marking the league's first postponement as a result of COVID-19.
McDermott was asked how the Bills can seek to learn from the Titans' situation.
"I think awareness is a big key there with staying disciplined, staying diligent with what we're doing, our habits that we undertake inside the building and outside the building," McDermott said. "We try and focus on the opponent this week, which is the Raiders obviously, but also being aware of what's going around us in our world. Not just in the NFL, but in our world.
"There's things like this popping up all over the place. So, we have to be aware, I think, is the biggest thing. Sometimes we get insulated in this NFL piece and we lose sight on what's going on around us. We're going to do the best we can as I've said from the start and try to remain disciplined through the season here."
McDermott was also asked to comment on a video that showed players from the Bills' next opponent, the Raiders, attending an indoor charity event on Monday without masks.
"That news was unfortunate," he said. "What we try and do is control what we can control on our end. We've got a lot of respect for coach (Jon) Gruden and their organization and I'm sure they're on top of it."

3. Speaking of Jon Gruden …
McDermott shared a personal anecdote that displayed his respect for the Raiders coach, who is in the third year of a 10-year contract with Las Vegas.
"My respect for Coach Gruden is off the charts," McDermott said. "I remember watching him years ago in Philadelphia with the Eagles. I grew up in Philadelphia and actually worked a training camp one year and he was the new offensive coordinator and he was ahead of the curve even back then.
"You mention the (Raiders') greatest strength, I believe he is. When you hire a coach and he's on a 10-year contract and he's putting in place what he's put in place to this point, he and (general manager) Mike Mayock as well, I think they're shaping a team to play well now but also in the future."
4. Why Davis has been successful
Rookie wide receiver Gabriel Davis saw an uptick in his receiving volume against the Rams, hauling in four catches for 81 yards. This came one week after he made a diving, go-ahead grab during the third quarter of the Bills' win over the Miami Dolphins.
Yet it's the small things that came to mind when McDermott was asked about the rookie's early impact.
"You turn the tape on, you watch him, he's productive in the pass game, he blocks when his number is called on to block, and I think that mindset alone is a really good mindset for his future," McDermott said.
"In a lot of cases, these receivers that you draft aren't used to having that assignment to block and that's an adjustment on their mindset. He's wired the right way right from the start and no job is too small for him. Just as important, no job is too big. The game has not been too big for him. … He's wore a lot of different hats, if you will, on the offensive side of the ball for us to this point."

WHO emergency committee called to analyze new variants of coronavirus – World
The emergency committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) will meet on Thursday, ahead of schedule, to discuss the variants of the new coronavirus, which are more contagious and have worried authorities worldwide.
The committee's meetings normally take place every three months, but "this time the director-general called the members two weeks ahead of schedule to analyze matters that need urgent debate. These are the recent variants and the use of certificates of vaccination and testing for international travel, "explains a WHO statement released this Wednesday in Geneva.
The committee of experts, chaired by French Didier Houssin, will meet on Thursday, January 14, and recommendations for WHO and member countries will be published after the meeting, the statement said.
The coronavirus variants initially identified in the United Kingdom and South Africa are particularly contagious and are now circulating in dozens of countries, with a new wave of contamination and feedlots pending vaccination campaigns.
According to the WHO, the number of countries and territories where the British variant has already been detected is 50 and the variant identified in South Africa appeared in 20, but the organization considers that this assessment may be underestimated.
A third mutation, originating in the Brazilian Amazon and whose discovery was announced on Sunday by Japan, is currently being analyzed and may impact the immune response, according to WHO, which speaks in its weekly bulletin in a "worrying variant".
The covid-19 pandemic caused at least 1,963,557 deaths resulting from more than 91.5 million cases of infection worldwide, according to a report made by the French agency AFP.
The disease is transmitted by a new coronavirus detected in late December 2019 in Wuhan, a city in central China.

"Be where your feet are:" Ole Miss baseball staying grounded prior to CWS-opener versus Auburn
Published 12:14 pm Friday, June 17, 2022

OMAHA, Neb. — Ole Miss baseball knows they have perhaps the best chance at a national title in program history, but they also recognize the dangers of looking too far ahead.
Freshman pitcher Hunter Elliott said it's hard not to anticipate matchups and get ahead of yourself in a tournament-style setting like the College World Series, but said taking it one game at a time is the only way to find success.
"You're still locked in to the game you're playing," Elliott said. "It's not really looking ahead or looking forward."
"It's just another baseball game," said right fielder Calvin Harris. "Obviously it's a really one-of-a-kind experience that you can have but it comes down to rolling the ball out there and playing the same game we've been playing all year."
The Rebels face a familiar foe in No. 14 Auburn on Saturday, a team they took two out of three games from on the road back in March.
Players and coaches alike stressed the fact that the familiarity with their in-division rivals only goes so far however, pointing out that both squads are very different teams now compared to three months ago.
"Obviously we played them before in March but they're probably a different team and we're a different team," said Harris. "We're a little bit familiar but also a bit different."
Head coach Mike Bianco echoed those sentiments, saying you can't rely on past experience while calling Auburn the most underrated team in the SEC this season.
"We're a different team, they're a different team," said head coach Mike Bianco. "They had a really great year and about as underrated a year as any team in our league… it'll be a big challenge for us."

#GiganticAdventCalendar
Interview: Kiwi jr.
By Gigantic Tickets
Posted on Monday 23rd December 2019 at 12:00
Though the name Kiwi jr. might not sound definitively Canadian, the delightful Toronto based band have ultra cool indie songs that bleed pure maple syrup.
Next year sees the release of debut LP 'Football Money' on MINT RECORDS which saw them joined by Graham Walsh from Holy Fuck as producer and Aaron Goldstein taking on engineer duties, both of whom were able to channel the party vibes of two years into a future classic jangly indie pop masterpiece.
Kiwi jr. spoke to Gigantic ahead of their UK headline dates about the upcoming release of their first album 'Football Money', plus what they have in store in the coming new year.
Kiwi jr. tickets are currently available.
How did Kiwi Jr. first get started?
Last ditch effort to make rock music before we turned thirty, as nobody wants to hear what four old chunks of coal like us have to say about music that is essentially for the kids. Bill Haley was 30 when kids were tearing up their seats to Rock Around the Clock, but he wasn't competing for college radio slots against 17 year olds from Bed-Stuy putting up new songs on Soundcloud every week.
You're getting quite a buzz from the press. Is receiving a positive critical reaction important to you or are you more interested in allowing your music to speak for itself?
Of course, press is good, and positive press even better. There are currently four-hundred and seven indie rock bands with vintage amplifiers in the Greater-Toronto Area alone, so every little bit of buzz is important to stand out.
It's been a big year for music with some great records released during 2019. With only a couple of weeks left, can you tell us what your favourite albums of the year have been?
'Everybody Split', is a great record by the Australian band Possible Humans. This came out on Trouble in Mind this year, it's fast, melodic, bits of early REM and the Buzzcocks. The latest Bill Callahan and Purple Mountains albums got a lot of plays. Punk by Chai came out at the start of 2018 was really hot too – they were maybe the tightest act I saw this past year.
'Football Money' is the culmination of two years' work. What can you tell us about how it will sound?
It's a party record for the most part - it sounds loud, raw. Graham plays keyboards in the band Holy Fuck so he added a couple of blips and bloops, but really there aren't a lot of overdubs. It's a guitar record by a guitar band.
Your first full length record includes the single 'Leslie' are they a real person? Tell us the story behind the song.
The story is of somebody leaving a New Year's Eve party in the middle of the night and nobody ever seeing them again. It's a 2-minute mystery story. I think there needs to be more storytelling in rocknroll songs. You used to see it a lot more - Rocky Raccoon, Lola, Killing of Georgie. Bring it back! At least make something interesting for people who don't care for the melody to bite into – make them stick around to hear the ending.
Are you happier as a band playing on the stage or hidden away in the studio creating new material?
We don't have the privilege to "hide away" in a studio for very long. If we're in the studio it's pedal to the medal, stressed, no sleep, trying to get our money's worth. It's fun to look back on, but I wouldn't call it a "happy" time, at least not in a Pharrell sense of the word.
You have been confirmed to play SXSW 2020. Looking forward to getting weird in Austin?
I'm not totally sure what that means in 2020, but we're excited to go and maybe get some free sneakers out of it.
Can we expect to see Kiwi Jr. playing any UK festivals next year?'
If we aren't announced as headlining the mainstage at Glastonbury within the next six weeks, we expect the kids to riot in the streets – give the people what they want!

Mr. E. Lowry Humes, of Pittsburgh, Pa., for petitioner.
Mr. Solicitor General Mitchell, of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Mr. John J. Byrne, of Washington, D. C., for the United States.
The question here for review is the judgment of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals of February 14, 1927. [273 U.S. 583, 584] A petition for certiorari was filed in this court February 28, 1927, and is this day granted. For reasons to be explained, we proceed at once to consider the case on its merits.
'We, the jury, find the defendants John G. Emmerling, Charles Lynch not guilty on all counts. E. W. Hardison, J. E. Hunter, and J. L. Simler guilty on all counts. Daniel J. Shields, Harry Widman, J. M. Gastman unable to agree.
'The jury will have to find also whether Shields, Widman, and Gastman are guilty or not guilty.
'That counsel for the defendant Daniel J. Shields requested the court to hold the jury in deliberation until they should agree upon a verdict, and therefore, when the court received the communication from the jury, it was returned with the instructions complained of, although it is true that the defendant's counsel was not present when the communication was handed to the court from the jury.
'Eo die an exception to the above refusal to grant an exception is hereby noted to the defendant Daniel J. Shields.
The petitioner urges first that the request joined in by counsel for the defendants, that the jury be held in deliberation until they had reached a verdict, could not be properly construed as a consent that the court might communicate with the jury out of court and in the absence of the defendants and their counsel; second, that the action of the District Court in thus communicating with the jury was a denial to petitioner of due process of law; third, that the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals upholding that action is in conflict with the decision of this court in Fillippon v. Albion Vein Slate Co., 250 U.S. 76 , 39 S. Ct. 435; Fourth, that the instruction in the [273 U.S. 583, 587] communication to the jury that it 'will have to find also whether Shields, Widman, and Gastman are guilty or not guilty,' was additionally erroneous because in violation of section 1036 of the Revised Statutes (Comp. St. 1702), which authorizes a jury to bring in a verdict as to those of the defendants regarding whom they are agreed, and declares that the case as to the other defendants may be tried by another jury; fifth, that in this respect the instruction of the District Court runs counter to the decision of this court in Bucklin v. United States, 159 U.S. 680, 682 , 16 S. Ct. 182, 305; and, sixth, that the direction to the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty or not guilty as to the three defendants named had the effect of coercing the jury into rendering a verdict which they were plainly reluctant to return.
The Solicitor General advises us that, after a careful study of the record in this case, the government is unable to find any satisfactory ground for opposing the petition for a writ of certiorari, and that no brief in opposition will therefore be filed, and, if the writ issues, the government will submit the case without being heard further.
In view of this, we deem it proper to dispose of the case at once. On the statement of the case as we have given it, we think the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals must be reversed on the first and third grounds urged, and the cause remanded to the District Court for a new trial. The joint request to the court of counsel for the defendant and the assistant district attorney to hold the jury in deliberation until they should agree upon a verdict, made in chambers without the presence of the defendant, cannot be extended beyond its exact terms. It did not include any agreement that the court should receive a communication from the jury and answer it, without giving the defendant and his counsel an opportunity to be present in court to take such action as they might be advised, especially when the communication as [273 U.S. 583, 588] to the result of the deliberations of the jury showed a marked difference in the views which the jury had as to the guilt of the various defendants. Counsel, in making it, necessarily assumed, as they had a right to, that any communication from the jury would be made in open court, and that they must necessarily be offered an opportunity to withdraw the request already preferred or to vary it. It is hardly fair to say that a general request to hold the jury for a verdict can be properly applied to such a situation as subsequently developed by the communication of the jury showing their views as to the various defendants.
If this be true in a civil case, a fortiori is it true in a criminal case? The request made jointly by the counsel for the defendant and for the government to the court did not justify exception to the rule of orderly conduct [273 U.S. 583, 589] of jury trial entitling the defendant, especially in a criminal case, to be present from the time the jury is impaneled until its discharge after rendering the verdict. We reverse the judgment without reference to the other causes of error assigned.

Most travelers complain about Manila. Unless they're catching a flight or have just landed from overseas, it's uncommon to see backpackers spend much time here. Yes, the traffic is a constant headache and it's hard to get around, but scheduling in a long weekend in Manila is totally worth it if you have time to explore Makati City. The Makati neighborhood is the financial center of Manila and is home to many more upscale businesses, residences and attractions than the rest of the city. While some areas of Makati are super fancy, another area is considered one of Manila's red-light districts. The diversity and vibrant action throughout the neighborhood is what drew us and kept us entertained. We've gotten to know Makati City pretty well, so Expedia.com asked us to share our knowledge. Here are our top picks for what to do while in Makati City.
Even if you're not big on shopping, the Greenbelt Shopping Center in Makati City is a must-see. It's without a doubt one of the most extravagant malls we've ever seen (think Beverly Hills plopped in the middle of Manila). Luxury stores line the walkways. We're talking Gucci, Burberry and Coach; not much within the budget of a backpacker, or anyone short of a millionaire really. But the landscaping throughout the shopping center is beautiful with green patches, koi ponds and lawn areas to sprawl out on a summer day. There is also an impressive amount of restaurants and lots of coffee shops with free Wi-Fi, perfect for a day of catching up on blogging!
Sure, you can go to Manila and experience the culture through museum visits. But the real reason to stay in Makati is to the experience the city's thriving red light district. The neighborhood's streets turn into pulsing epicenters of nightlife as soon as the sun goes down. From midget boxing to "lady bars," Makati City is anything but tame. If you're not into a wild night on the town, we enjoyed simply walking the main strip and taking in the craziness as spectator.
The Legazpi Sunday Market was one of our favorite places to eat in Manila. Each week part of Legazpi Park is transformed into a pleasant farmer's market. Some of the city's best restaurants set up stands and sell incredible food. There are lots of options, so we recommend to pace yourself and try a bit from a bunch of stalls. We loved the dumplings, mee goreng and churros for dessert! They also have organic vegetables and delicious fresh ginger ale for sale. Live music gives the event a lively, communal atmosphere.
If you're looking for a fun night out but aren't interested in the seedy activities of the street bars, check out Makati City's speakeasies. These "underground" bars have been popping up all over Manila, especially in the Makati area. We highly recommend The Curator, coffee shop during the day and classy cocktail bar by night. The bartenders here at the best in the biz and will whip you up a specialty cocktail depending on your particular taste. I had the best espresso martini of my life here. Don't miss it. Other fun speakeasies in the area include Exit and The Blind Pig.
Makati is popular with travelers so there's no shortage of hostels and hotels. Unfortunately for backpackers, Makati is on the pricier side with private rooms often costing $30+. Skip the annoying walk around the neighborhood trying to find a bargain and just head directly to Z Hostel. Owner Ben de Vera has created a haven within the chaotic streets of Manila. Z Hostel is an upscale boutique hostel that mixes the luxury of a hotel with the social atmosphere of a hostel. They host weekly parties and events that we recommend you check out even if you don't stay there. You can read our full Z Hostel review here.

Harriet Greenwood
The way Harrriet and I met is interesting. Harriet held a sustainability conversation with all interns in Green Garage on Wednesday. Unfortunately, I had a bad cold and missed the whole interesting conversation but we made deal that we could catch up later. On Thursday, we sat down and talked sustainability. Listening about her life experience, I know she got great stories to share. Then, a short catchup became an hour and half talk. Harriet is in her favorite black dress, sitting there with her melting smile. She does not at all like a lady at her 60ish, and she still gets ahead of the time by reminding me to find Pokemon in Green Garage.
Born in the heyday in Detroit, Harriet went to the top 10 high school in Detroit among states and graduated with good grades. She then got into a liberal arts college in New England area. She said she loves the peaceful town: few visitors, nice weather, near the sea. At the time when she graduated as environmental science and education major, Detroit was at its hardest time. Like many young people at that period, she did not want to get back to Detroit. She wanted to stay away from the abandoned city. But it seemed that fate had played a trick when she could not find a full time paid job in environment industry in the town. "I need money, you know, even though I hated, I had to go back to live with my parents in Detroit for a while." She said. Destiny took a hand. Harriet went back to Detroit, found a job in environmental solution department in Comerica Bank and stayed here since then.
"I didn't like the city very much at that time." She laughed and took me back the old times.
She first got into consulting department helping her clients analyze environmental impact of their companies. Even though she was in bank, she still focused on the area she is interested in. Then she moved to a consulting company, working for those high-end company to increase their sustainability during operation; However, things did not go as she predicted. "I really wanted to help the big companies to pay more attention to environmental impact but I realized that the ship is too big to direct" Harriet said to me. She is the person wants to do things while her clients only wanted good public image. The too-big-to-direct ship made her upset for a long time. Then, by a random chance, she knew the Thursday Sustainability Table in Green Garage organized by owner Tom and his wife. She participated several times and then decided to become a residence here and started her own sustainability consulting business.
"Starting your own business means more responsibility, but it also means that you can direct the ship" Harriet said. She thinks the prosperous startup culture in Detroit can attract population to move back and helped the city renew itself. Entrepreneurship to her is another different lifestyle from job in bank and big consulting groups. She meets many small businesses and helped them to grow their sustainability business. After seeing her clients grow larger, she feels more satisfied than ever.
When I asked what's her suggestion to young entrepreneurs, she said "Have a balance in your life since it's harder now to separate your life from work as you start you own business, but it's very important to keep your life in a sustainable way."
Many women at her age would retire at home and enjoy the life after working, but Harriet is still eager to update herself to keep pace with this world. She holds Thursday Table in Green Garage, helps to organize roof garden in Green Garage, volunteer in the front desk and keep her business going at the same time.
When I closed the notebook and gave her a big hug after our talk, I felt the power and strength from her which is tiny but consistent as well, just like each small startup connecting together to assert huge impact to our society.
Anna L
Caroline, thanks for sharing this narrative and reflection of your conversation with Harriet. Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs to have a life outside of business rings true for many professions, but seems particularly relevant for entrepreneurs hoping to start their own business. It would be interesting for you and other DukeEngage Detroit students to reflect on the activities you've done this summer that help keep you balanced. What hobbies have you and other Duke students enjoyed to maintain a sense of balance?

Debris by Keeley Forsyth
Formats: CD (BAY 116CD) Digital (BAY 116E) Black vinyl LP (BAY 116V) Limited edition gold vinyl LP (BAY 116VX)
The songs comprising Keeley Forsyth's debut are, she states simply, "like blocks of metal that drop from the sky."
With its minimal arrangements placing her recollections and dissections of sometimes harrowing experiences front and centre, Debris showcases her elemental voice and an outpouring of candid, haunting lyrics detailing the seismic ruptures which take place behind closed doors. "There was a lot going on in my life that was heavy and hard," she adds. "Songs were made under that moment."
Born and raised in Oldham, Forsyth first made her name as an actor, but while the creation of music has been a constant feature in her life, she's taken the long road to its release. A deeply intuitive and singular musician, she began writing several years ago, accompanying herself on harmonium and accordion.
"I came up with lots of songs in a very short space of time," Forsyth recalls. "Most songs were written in the time it took to sing them. But I held them close, and often thought I needed to do something with them. It never felt right to go out and look for it. I felt like I needed to wait and move when I felt inspired."
That inspiration struck one evening while listening to the radio, where she first encountered pianist and composer Matthew Bourne's work. "I heard his music and suddenly I could hear them both together," she says of her songs and his compositions. "I felt compelled to write to him. He got straight back and said he loved what I was doing." What followed were quick and instinctive collaborations with Bourne and producer and musician Sam Hobbs, with the initial burst of momentum Forsyth felt when writing carried through into the studio, preserving the intricacies and accidents that make an album human.

TUCSON --- The George Fox baseball team dropped both of its games on Saturday, as the Bruins fell to La Verne, 12-2, and Sul Ross St, 13-10, on the second day of the Tucson Invitational.
The Bruins dug themselves in a hole to start against the Leopards in game one, allowing six runs in the bottom of the first. A couple of walks and a pair of singles helped the Leopards jump out to a 6-0 lead after one inning of play.
Things settled down in the second inning and the Bruins were able to cross home plate in the top of the third. Matt Voelzke got on base with a single up the middle. Trevor Nannini moved Voelzke to second after a single of his own and Kyler Brudwick recorded the RBI single to center field to put the Bruins on the board.
La Verne responded quickly, though, scratching across two in the bottom half of the third, one in the fourth, and two more in the fifth to take an 11-1 lead after five.
The Leopards capped off their victory with another run in the seventh.
Marc Audet provided the final run of the game in the top of the ninth after hitting a triple to center field to bring home Jayce Lien.
In the second game against the Lobos of Sul Ross St., the Bruins were unable to spark any momentum from the mound. The Lobos capitalized in the bottom of the second after a pair of walks and two hit batters gave Sul Ross St. its first run of the game. In fact, four of the five runs scored by the Lobos in the second inning came by walk.
Sul Ross St. remained patient at the plate and recorded one run in the third and three in the fourth to take a 9-0 lead.
The Bruins didn't go down without a fight, though, rallying back with four runs of their own in the top of the fifth. Matt Ramirez kicked off the rally with a single to center field, while Jason Garcia beat out the throw from the Lobos' shortstop to put two runners on base. Trevor Nannini drew a well-crafted walk on the next at-bat, loading the bases for Kyler Brudwick. Brudwick gave the Bruins their first run of the game after an RBI walk. Sam Swenson followed suit with an RBI of his own and Jerred Seamons closed out the inning with an RBI single, scoring Brudwick.
After closing the gap to 9-5 in the top of the fifth, the Bruins were unable to keep the Lobos off the board. Sul Ross St. managed to answer back with three more runs in the bottom half of the inning, keeping its distance from George Fox.
The Bruins tallied one run in the sixth and exploded in the seventh to keep things interesting. George Fox put up five runs in the seventh to cut the deficit to three, 13-10.
The rally was cut short as the Lobos came away with a 13-10 victory.
Kyler Brudwick was the only player to record a multi-hit day, going 2-4 at the plate with one RBI.
Jason Garcia and Matt Voelzke both recorded three hits and three RBIs against the Lobos.
The Bruins are now 1-2 on the season.
The Bruins will face California Lutheran on the final day of the Tucson on Feb. 10 at 8:30 am (PST).
