Ireland as an Organised Hypocrisy is in lots of company
By Michael Hennigan, Finfacts founder and editor
Jun 6, 2014 - 4:49 PM
1962 photograph of the "Turning the Sod" ceremony at Belfield, South Dublin for the new University College Dublin (UCD) campus: Éamon de Valera, president of Ireland, preparing to kiss the episcopal ring of John Charles McQuaid, Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. De Valera had supported insurgents who had opposed a 1921 treaty with the United Kingdom for the establishment of the Irish Free State. Fianna Fáil the political party that he founded in 1926 dominated Irish politics from achieving power in 1932 until 2011. Photo: UCD School of History and Archives
Every country is an Organised Hypocrisy to some degree. Countries have aspirations and stated principles, which more often than not, contrast with a grim reality - - at least in democracies today, there is an opportunity for some rebalancing.
Thomas Jefferson, America's third president and a cruel slave master, who had penned the line in the 1776 Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." fathered at least six children with his slave Sally Hemings but he regarded them as sub-human, while Karl Marx a German philosopher, who had seen the grim existence for workers in Germany and Britain in the first century of the industrial revolution, would not have expected to become the god of brutal dictatorships that crushed the human spirit in the twentieth century.
The revelation that 796 babies died in a facility run by a religious order in Tuam, County Galway over 36 years, is shocking even after the litany of stories of abuse in recent decades.
Two sectarian states had developed in Ireland from the 1920's and in the South, behind the veneer of "republican principles," conservative elites held power and brooked little opposition.
In the Irish Times in 2009, the late journalist Mary Raftery wrote on Mr Justice Seán Ryan's report on decades of child abuse in Ireland: "It's is quite simply a devastating report. It is a monument to the shameful nature of Irish society throughout most of the decades of the 20th century, and arguably even today."
In the 1980s when my wife and I adopted the first of our two children from the Philippines, a woman from Tuam told us that a neighbour of hers who had adopted a child years before, was on the way out of mass from the cathedral on a Sunday morning when another woman asked her: "How could you leave a stranger's child into your house?"
Ireland was very conservative then and it remains generally conservative today but while the Catholic Church allowed itself become part of the colonial establishment in the nineteenth century, why in the early decades of the State were the revolutionaries who had used violence to force the timetable on Home Rule, so spineless when they achieved power?
A Civil War was fought for what in reality?
According to Dáil Éireann records, in the ten years to 1946, the industrial school system, which was the focus of the Ryan Report, held an annual average of more than 6,000 children - - 90% of whom were in custody because their families were "destitute."
The De Valera government which was generally happy with the UK Children Act of 1908, introduced the Children Bill in 1940 to provide for additional restrictions.
Both Deputy James Dillon and Deputy Alfie Byrne, a former Lord Mayor of Dublin, sought to have a provision for a medical and psychological examination of children before their committal to the industrial and reformatory school system.
When positive examples of the way children were provided for in Glasgow and a number of American cities were referred to, Thomas Derrig, De Valera's minister of education, found the comparison objectionable and said: "It is really painful to hear the case made here that there is some psychological disease or other in the City of Dublin, just because clinics have been established in Chicago or Detroit, or some other city. Where is the comparison between conditions in the Catholic City of Dublin and in the City of Chicago? There is no comparison."
The amendment to the Children Bill was rejected and Deputy Dillon said in the Dáil in reference to the three year sentence to an industrial school, that was given to a child who had stolen some grapes: "Can you imagine the son or the daughter of a resident of Fitzwilliam Square being brought down to Morgan Place and sent from there to an industrial school because he stole 5/- (32 euro cent) worth of grapes?"
The Ceann Comhairle (Speaker) intervened: "It is very well to demur at the removal of those children from their parents' control, but in so demurring is the Deputy not criticising judicial decisions?"
Not only were the children being mistreated in private institutions, that were protected by the taboo on criticism of the Catholic Church, lay teachers had very bad working conditions.
In reply to a Dáil question in 1943 on the prohibition by religious orders on lay male teachers being married, Minister Derrig said: "That is a matter for the school. Even in the ordinary national schools, as the Deputy knows, I cannot interfere with the discretion of the managers in appointing whatever teachers they wish.
In the industrial schools, as they are entirely private institutions, run by the managers, I cannot interfere; it is entirely a domestic question.
I do not know whether that is the position or not - - that teachers who get married have to resign."
Education and health was effectively privatised in the new state and following the defeat of Éamon de Valera's Fianna Fáil in 1948, Dr Noel Browne, the young minister for health in the new government, proposed an urgent anti-tuberculosis programme and his other focus was on reducing child mortality by introducing free ante-and post- natal care for mothers and extending free health treatment for all children under 16 without a means test. However, the medical profession feared that their incomes would be threatened while conservative Catholic members of the Cabinet were believed to be influenced by the bishops who feared the scheme would lead to family planning and contraception.
The Catholic bishops however did not take a public position on the issue but the divided coalition government collapsed in 1951.
In 1973, the year of joining the then European Economic Community, the Irish Supreme Court ruled that the law prohibiting the importation of contraceptives for personal use, as unconstitutional. It took the politicians another 20 years to properly reform it - starting with the requirement of a doctor's prescription to buy condoms in a pharmacy to a taoiseach (prime minister) voting against his own government's Bill on the issue.
An organised hypocrisy
On March 17, 1845, Benjamin Disraeli, a future British prime minister, opposed his own party leadership and declared: "A Conservative government is an organised hypocrisy" - - a criticism of Prime Minister Robert Peel's abandonment of the protectionist policies on which his government had been elected.
Disraeli also opposed the Maynooth Bill, which provided for an increase in government's financial assistance to the Irish seminary. During a speech in 1844, he had said that Ireland had a starving population, an alien church, and the weakest executive in the world.
England, he said, was the cause of misery in Ireland.
Disraeli had come some distance from a decade before when he prompted a torrent of invective from Daniel O'Connell, Ireland's greatest parliamentarian: "I can find no harsher epithets in the English language by which to convey the utter abhorrence which I entertain for such a reptile. He is just fit now, after being twice discarded by the people, to become a Conservative. He possesses all the necessary requisites of perfidy, selfishness, depravity, want of principle, etc., which would qualify him for the change. His name shows that he is of Jewish origin.
I do not use it as a term of reproach; there are many most respectable Jews. But there are, as in every other people, some of the lowest and most disgusting grade of moral turpitude; and of those I look upon Mr. Disraeli as the worst. He has just the qualities of the impenitent thief on the Cross, and I verily believe, if Mr. Disraeli's family herald were to be examined and his genealogy traced, the same personage would be discovered to be the heir at law of the exalted individual to whom I allude. I forgive Mr. Disraeli now, and as the lineal descendant of the blasphemous robber, who ended his career besides the Founder of the Christian Faith, I leave the gentleman to the enjoyment of his infamous distinction and family honours."
Disraeli responded in a letter to The Times: "Yes I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honourable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon."
Prime Minister Peel, a former chief secretary for Ireland, was eager to develop an alliance with the Catholic gentry and middle classes of Ireland, after the failure of O'Connell's campaign to repeal the Act of Union of 1800.
Also in 1845, his government introduced the Irish Colleges Bill, which provided for the establishment of non-denominational universities in Belfast, Cork and Galway.
Peel's imprint was on the independent Irish State, which largely replicated the British system of governance and a conservative mindset was the default one for most of the period since 1922.

A: While Postman errors are not the most descriptive, this error typically occurs because your API endpoint does not exist. You may want to check that you are correctly calling the appropriate endpoint

A: You say that the two first iterations work fine but when you get to the third iteration, get the error. That sounds like the auth/token/session expired.

A: I got the Postman error message

I realized that the problem (in my case) was that I tried to access an API that
I had written myself, but forgotten to upload. - Thus, I tried to call an API

As soon as I uploaded the API, the error went away.

Then later on he told me he has had women come in to see him up until 50 and have babies.
He feels VERY STRONGLY the line oh your eggs are too old is a bunch of hogwash.
He maintains there is no such thing as old eggs, but what there is, are bodies ravaged over the years with infections - making it almost impossible to house a baby.

Hedge Fund Managers Must Exercise Restraint in Deploying Indemnification Provisions
Indemnification provisions are the forbidden fruit in every hedge fund partnership agreement. On the one hand, they are typically drafted in such a broad fashion as to protect the general partner and its affiliates from seemingly any issue arising out of the partnership, provided that their actions do not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. On the other hand, utilizing an indemnification provision almost always places the general partner and investment adviser's fiduciary duties at risk. In a guest article, David T. Martin, a partner at Cummings & Lockwood, explains how courts have analyzed indemnification provisions under Delaware law and offers some fundamental principles that every fund counsel should consider before deploying an indemnification provision. For more on indemnification, see "Stanley Druckenmiller's Counsel Provides a Tutorial for Negotiating Exculpation, Indemnification, Redemption, Withdrawal and Amendment Provisions in Hedge Fund Governing Documents," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 7, No. 5 (Feb. 6, 2014). For a Cayman Islands perspective, see our two-part series on "Exculpation and Indemnity Clauses in the Hedge Fund Context": Part One, Vol. 3, No. 50 (Dec. 29, 2010); and Part Two, Vol. 4, No. 1 (Jan. 7, 2011).

ALM General Counsel Summit Reveals How Hedge Fund Managers Can Prepare for SEC Examinations
As the SEC continues its unprecedented enforcement streak – with 807 enforcement orders for a record $4.2 billion in monetary remedies in the last fiscal year – hedge fund managers need to prepare for the inevitable SEC examination. See "SEC Chair Emphasizes Enforcement Focus on Strong Remedies and Individual Liability," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 44 (Nov. 12, 2015). Proper preparation for an examination is critical for hedge fund managers to minimize the risk of further enforcement action. Speakers at Corporate Counsel's Ninth Annual Hedge Fund General Counsel and Compliance Officer Summit addressed the best strategy for these preparations, including having a robust compliance program with proper policies and procedures in place, as well as conducting periodic mock examinations. This article summarizes those panel discussions, highlighting recommended tools and techniques hedge fund managers may employ to properly prepare for SEC, as well as internal, investigations. For more on preparing for SEC exams, see "SEC's Rozenblit and Law Firm Partners Explain the SEC's Enforcement Priorities and Offer Tips on How Hedge Fund and Private Equity Managers Can Avoid Enforcement Actions (Part Three of Four)," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 2 (Jan. 15, 2015).

Allocation of Expenses
Specific Disclosure Before Charging Legal Expenses to Funds May Help Investment Advisers Avoid SEC Scrutiny
Expense allocations between fund advisers and the funds they manage give rise to significant conflicts of interest. The SEC remains keenly focused on such conflicts, paying particular attention to private equity advisers. See "Acting OCIE Director Discusses the Office's Focus on Private Equity Managers and Emphasizes the Importance of Disclosure by Advisers," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 21 (May 28, 2015). Blackstone was one of the latest casualties. See "Blackstone Settles SEC Charges Over Undisclosed Fee Practices," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 41 (Oct. 22, 2015). In another recent settlement, the SEC claimed that two affiliated private equity fund advisers improperly allocated the advisers' own legal, consulting and compliance expenses to the funds they managed without adequate disclosures. This article summarizes the alleged misconduct that gave rise to the enforcement action, the SEC's specific charges and the sanctions imposed. For more on conflicts of interest involving fee and expense allocations, see "Recommended Actions for Hedge Fund Managers in Light of SEC Enforcement Trends," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 41 (Oct. 22, 2015); and "RCA Panel Highlights Conflicts of Interest Affecting Fund Managers," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 26 (Jul. 2, 2015). Other SEC enforcement actions have involved other types of adviser fees and expenses. For a recent enforcement action involving monitoring fees and related fee offsets, see "Full Disclosure of Portfolio Company Fee and Payment Arrangements May Reduce Risk of Conflicts and Enforcement Action," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 44 (Nov. 12, 2015).

Chief Compliance Officers
SEC Enforcement Director Assures CCOs They Need Not Fear SEC Action Absent Wrongdoing
Are chief compliance officers (CCOs) of hedge fund managers and other SEC-registered entities unfairly targeted by the SEC for enforcement action? This question has been hotly debated in recent months, and a new voice added to the debate was that of Andrew Ceresney, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. In his keynote speech to the National Society of Compliance Professionals 2015 National Conference, Ceresney addressed Enforcement's perspective on compliance officers, as well as how it approaches enforcement cases that touch compliance personnel, in an effort to illustrate "that these actions punish misconduct that falls outside the bounds of the work that nearly all [CCOs] do on a daily basis; do not involve the exercise of good faith judgments; and are consistent with the partnership we have developed to foster compliance with the laws." This article analyzes Ceresney's remarks. For additional insight from SEC officials on CCO liability, see "SEC Commissioner Speaks Out Against Trend Toward Strict Liability for Compliance Personnel," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 25 (Jun. 25, 2015); and "SEC Commissioner Issues Statement Supporting Hedge Fund Manager Chief Compliance Officers," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 28 (Jul. 16, 2015).

This article provides a summary of the offering; an overview of Amundi's business, as detailed in the IPO registration statement; and a look at the risks and regulatory requirements detailed in the registration statement. The Amundi IPO is aimed primarily at facilitating SG's sale of its stake in the company. Fund managers have also used IPOs to establish permanent capital or private equity vehicles.

NFA Notice Provides Cybersecurity Guidance to Hedge Fund Managers Registered as CPOs and CTAs
Cybersecurity in the futures and derivatives market is "perhaps the single most important new risk to market integrity and financial stability," Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Timothy Massad stated in a keynote address. The National Futures Association (NFA) recently received CFTC approval of its Interpretive Notice to several existing NFA compliance rules related to supervision, titled "Information Systems Security Programs [ISSPs]." The new guidance will provide more specific standards for supervisory procedures and will require hedge fund managers and other entities that are NFA members to adopt and enforce written policies and procedures to protect customer data and electronic systems. "The approach of the Interpretive Notice is to tie cybersecurity best practices to a firm's supervisory obligations," Covington & Burling partner Stephen Humenik said. This article summarizes the guidance. See also "PLI 'Hot Topics' Panel Addresses Cybersecurity and Swaps Regulation," Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 43 (Nov. 5, 2015).

"It follows our partners to the south of us in the United States," Doherty said in a phone call from Ottawa. "In 2010, the U.S. adopted June 27 at National PTSD Awareness Day. Four years later, in 2014, they adopted the whole month of June as PTSD Awareness Month."
"We know education and awareness is the only way to hopefully break the stigma of PTSD and mental illness or mental injury," he said. "I use Paul and Terry Nichols [from Kersley] as an example — they rode their horses across Canada to help shed light on PTSD, so we need to do whatever we can to build that awareness and have that conversation."
"They serve with courage and distinction, but their service often means they are left to deal with haunting images, sounds and smells for a lifetime," he said.
Doherty tabled his new bill on Jan. 30, which is Bell Let's Talk Day in Canada, which aims to move mental health forward in Canada fighting the stigma, improving access to care, supporting world-class research and leading by example in workplace mental health. As of Thursday morning, Bell Let's Talk Day had raised $7,272,134.95 to provide grants in 2019.
"Today, on Bell Let's Talk Day, parliamentarians will join Canadians across the country to increase awareness of mental health issues and offer our support to those who persevere every day and work to end the stigma around mental illness," Doherty said in a statement issued Jan. 30. "I couldn't think of a better day to introduce my Private Members Bill, which seeks to make June 27th a National PTSD Awareness Day."
"Mental illness should not be a partisan issue," said Doherty. "I sincerely hope that all parliamentarians vote to unanimously to pass this bill. Conservatives will continue to stand up for those who have served Canada and their communities and who as a result suffer from PTSD. We will continue to call on the Trudeau government to put politics aside and move swiftly to recognize PTSD sufferers in Canada."
"Our hopes are now we will start the hard work of working with our friends across the way and all parties so we can get this bill swiftly based in the House and hopefully Canadians across this nation will be taking part in the first National PTSD Awareness Day this June," he said.
"We must do everything to break the stigma through conversation, building trust, ensuring those who are suffering silently have the confidence to come forward, that they believe they will be listened to and that we have the tools and resources to make them well."

Michigan State Recruiting: 2019 commit Alante Brown talks transition from QB to WR
Michigan State commit Alante Brown opens up about his recruitment and his transition from high school quarterback to college wide out.
By Zach Fanko -
Coming into the 2019 season, the wide receiver position at Michigan State is one of the deepest in not only the Big Ten, but perhaps the country.
That hasn't stopped Mark Dantonio and the rest of the Spartans' coaching staff from trying to bring in future pass-catchers as 2019 3-star athlete Alante Brown out of Simeon High School in Chicago has made his verbal commitment to Michigan State as of June 28.
Brown is a 5-foot-10 and 181-pound athlete who currently plays quarterback for Simeon but is expected to shift to wide receiver at the next level. One of the top prospects in the state of Illinois took some time to speak with us about his commitment and his thoughts entering his senior year of high school.
Brown has always been big on Michigan State. He said he "couldn't believe it" when the MSU offer came through. You can tell how much he cared because he "had always talked with friends and family about playing at MSU and it has really been a dream of [his]. It meant a lot when that offer came."
Before that special offer came through, Brown took a visit to East Lansing. He said there was something really special about the atmosphere. It stood out to him that "all the coaches and players really get along and are working together."
The decision to join Michigan State's recruiting class came after Brown de-committed from Miami (OH) back in June. Brown said the process all started with a camp at Missouri and an offer from them. He said, "At that point, I decided the best thing for me personally was to re-open my recruitment and see what other offers were out there."
The real question, though, is whether or not Brown will be able to make the transition from quarterback to pass catcher. He thinks it should go well, though. The MSU commit explained how his experiences as a quarterback will give him a boost in his journey to becoming a wide receiver.
"For one, I know all the routes from a quarterback perspective. I know where I need to be, and the ability to read defenses is something I think will help me. It's going to be a challenge, but a challenge I'm looking forward to."
In addition to the mental side of the wide receiver position, Brown told Armchair a secret as to why he'll be able to make the adjustment. Brown has great hands. He explained why people don't know about them, though, saying, "Playing at quarterback I don't get [many] opportunities to show off my hands." That won't be a secret for long, though. His "coaches have put in a few trick plays for [him] to showcase that in games this season."

Growing up I knew two things, I loved sports and I was a talented writer. With that in mind I set out to begin my career in sports journalism. As a lifelong fan of Spartan athletics, I decided to attend MSU and later graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in journalism. My other sports passion is Detroit sports, specifically the Detroit Lions (still waiting to witness my first playoff win). Since graduating from MSU, I have had the opportunity to write for various publications including MLive and Detroit Sports Nation. I am now excited to join Armchair All Americans and help cover Michigan State recruiting. Besides sports, I enjoy playing video games and listening to all kinds of genres of rock music. I currently reside in Grand Rapids, Michigan with my wife Melissa.

Mid Suffolk District Council has unanimously agreed to support the Government's proposals to introduce a plastic bottle return scheme.
At a meeting on Thursday 21 December, the Council pledged its support for initiatives being considered by the Government to reduce the amount of plastic waste and to make retailers pay more towards recycling the packaging in which they sell their products.
Suffolk is ranked second of 32 waste disposal authorities in two-tier areas for recycling dry recyclables.
A report published by Eunomia in the autumn estimates each local authority could save between £62,000 and £495,000 each by reducing waste handling costs.
Cabinet Member Without Portfolio, Councillor Penny Otton, who put forward the motion, said: "It is a well established fact that plastic is one of the worst pollutants of the environment. Plastic is expensive to dispose of and too much of it ends up at the bottom of the sea, where it is having an increasingly devastating effect on life in our oceans.

Die Germergewächse (Melanthiaceae), auch Schwarzblütengewächse genannt, sind eine Pflanzenfamilie in der Ordnung der Lilienartigen (Liliales). Die 13 bis 16 Gattungen mit etwa 170 Arten sind hauptsächlich in den gemäßigten Gebieten der Nordhalbkugel (Holarktis) verbreitet. Nur wenige Arten werden durch den Menschen genutzt.

Beschreibung

Erscheinungsbild und Laubblätter
Es handelt sich um immergrüne oder saisongrüne, meistens ausdauernde krautige Pflanzen. Sie bilden häufig Rhizome oder Knollen als Überdauerungsorgane. Das Hypokotyl ist meist kurz.

Die wechselständig, schraubig oder in Wirteln am Stängel angeordneten Laubblätter sind einfach, flach, und ganzrandig. Die Blattadern verlaufen entweder parallel, wie bei den Einkeimblättrigen üblich, oder bei den Parideae netzartig.

Blütenstände und Blüten
Es werden meistens verzweigte, traubige, ährige oder rispige Blütenstände gebildet. Bei den Parideae ist nur eine Blüte je Stängel vorhanden.

Die Blüten sind fast immer zwittrig und meist radiärsymmetrisch, bei Chionographis zygomorph. Wie fast alle einkeimblättrigen Pflanzen haben auch die Melanthiaceae meistens dreizählige Blüten. Davon weicht die Gattung Einbeeren (Paris) mit ihren vier- bis elfzähligen Blüten ab. Es sind zwei Kreise mit meist drei Blütenhüllblättern vorhanden; sie sind in den beiden Kreisen unterschiedlich oder gleichgestaltet, dann sind es also Tepalen und bilden ein Perigon; sie können frei oder verwachsen sein. Die Farben der Blütenhüllblätter reichen von weiß über grün, von gelb bis bräunlich und von rot über rosa- bis purpurfarben. Es sind meist zwei Kreise mit je drei Staubblättern vorhanden. Die meist drei oberständigen Fruchtblätter sind frei oder zu einem Fruchtknoten verwachsen. In jeder Blüte gibt es meist drei freie Griffel.

Früchte und Samen
Meistens werden Balgfrüchte oder Kapselfrüchte gebildet; einige Einbeeren-Arten bilden Beeren mit wenigen bis vielen Samen in jedem der drei Fruchtfächer. Die hellgefärbten Samen sind oft geflügelt oder mit Anhängseln.

Inhaltsstoffe und Chromosomen
An Inhaltsstoffen sind giftige Alkaloide, Flavonoide und Steroidsaponine häufig. Es werden Calciumoxalat-Kristalle eingelagert.

Die Chromosomen sind 1 bis 6 µm lang. Die Chromosomengrundzahlen betragen bei den Parideae x = 5, Melianthieae oft x = 8, bei den Chionographideae oft x = 12, bei den Xerophylleae x = 15 und bei den Helionadeae x = 17.

Systematik und Verbreitung
Die Areale der Taxa liegen hauptsächlich in den gemäßigten Gebieten der Nordhalbkugel (Holarktis). Verbreitungsschwerpunkte sind Ostasien und das östliche Nordamerika. Eine Ausnahme stellt die Gattung Schoenocaulon, die auch in Peru, Venezuela und im Karibischen Raum vorkommt. In Mitteleuropa gibt es die Einbeere (Paris quadrifolia) und den Weißen Germer (Veratrum album).

Der Familienname Melanthiaceae wurde 1797 durch August Johann Georg Karl Batsch in Moritz Balthasar Borkhausen: Botanisches Wörterbuch, 2, 8 veröffentlicht. Die Typusgattung Melanthium wurde 1753 durch Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum, 1, S. 339 veröffentlicht, deren Gattungsname aus den griechischen Wörtern melas für schwarz und anthos für Blüte abgeleitet ist und sich auf die schwärzlichen Blütenhüllblätter bezieht (daher auch der Trivialname Schwarzblütengewächse). Bei Zomlefer et al. 2006 wurde auf Grund molekulargenetischer Untersuchungen die Familie um die Taxa der Trilliaceae und Xerophyllaceae erweitert und ergibt dann ein monophyletisches Taxon.

Die Taxa der früher eigenständigen Familien: Chionographidaceae , Heloniadaceae , Paridaceae , Trilliaceae , Veratraceae  und Xerophyllaceae  werden heute in die Familie der Germergewächse (Melanthiaceae ) eingeordnet. Taxa dieser Familie wurden früher auch zur Familie der Liliengewächse (Liliaceae) gestellt, beispielsweise Melanthioideae.

Zur Familie der Germergewächse (Melanthiaceae) gehören 13 bis 16 Gattungen mit etwa 170 Arten. Die Familie wird in fünf Tribus gegliedert:

 Tribus Chionographideae: Sie enthält eine oder zwei Gattungen mit etwa neun Arten. Nach R. Govaerts sind alle zehn Arten in die Gattung Chamaelirium zu stellen.
 Chamaelirium : Mit einer bis zehn Arten. Darunter die Art:
 Chamaelirium luteum : Sie gedeiht in Höhenlagen zwischen 0 und 1100 Metern im östlichen Nordamerika.
 Chionographis : Sie enthält etwa fünf Arten in Asien. Sie sind nach R. Govaerts zu Chamaelirium zu stellen.
 Tribus Heloniadeae: Sie enthält einer bis drei Gattungen mit ein bis neun Arten:
 Helonias : Sie enthält nur eine Art:
 Helonias bullata : Sie gedeiht in den Blue Ridge Mountains und den nördlichen Küstenebenen in Nordamerika in Höhenlagen zwischen 0 und 1100 Metern.
 Heloniopsis : Sie enthält fünf Arten in Ostasien.
 Ypsilandra : Sie enthält fünf Arten in Asien von Nepal bis China und Taiwan; alle fünf Arten kommen auch in China vor.
 Tribus Melanthieae: Sie enthält sechs bis sieben Gattungen mit etwa 100 Arten:
 Amianthium : Sie enthält nur eine Art:
 Amianthium muscitoxicum : Sie gedeiht in Höhenlagen zwischen 0 und 1500 Metern in den östlicheh und östlich-zentralen Vereinigten Staaten.
 Anticlea : Die etwa elf Arten sind von Osteuropa und Asien bis Nordamerika und Guatemala weitverbreitet.
 Schoenocaulon : Sie enthält 24 bis 26 Arten, die von den südlichen Vereinigten Staaten bis Venezuela vorkommen mit einem Zentrum der Artenvielfalt in Mexiko.
 Stenanthium  (Syn.: Veratrum subg. Stenanthium ): Sie enthält vier Arten, die in Nordamerika von den zentralen und östlichen Vereinigten Staaten bis Mexiko vorkommen.
 Toxicoscordion : Die etwa acht Arten, sind von Kanada bis Mexiko weitverbreitet.
 Germer (Veratrum ; Syn.: Melanthium ): Sie enthält etwa 30 (früher bis zu 50) Arten auf der Nordhalbkugel mit einem Zentrum der Artenvielfalt in China (13 Arten) und nur neun Arten in Nordamerika.
 Zigadenus : Sie enthält nur eine Art:
 Zigadenus glaberrimus : Sie kommt in den südöstlichen USA vor.
 Tribus Parideae (Syn.: Trilliaceae): Es ist Netznervatur vorhanden und die Blüten stehen einzeln. Sie enthält etwa drei (bis fünf) Gattungen und etwa 80 Arten:
 Einbeeren (Paris , inklusive der etwa 16 Arten von Daiswa  und Kinugasa ): Sie enthält etwa 28 Arten in Eurasien.
 Pseudotrillium  (gehört bei manchen Autoren zu Trillium): Sie enthält nur eine Art:
 Pseudotrillium rivale  (Syn.: Trillium rivale ): Sie kommt vom südwestlichen Oregon bis nordwestlichen Kalifornien vor.
 Waldlilien  (Trillium ): Sie enthält 40 bis 70 Arten in Nordamerika und Asien.
 Tribus Xerophylleae: Sie enthält nur eine Gattung mit zwei Arten:
 Xerophyllum : Von den nur zwei Arten ist die eine im östlichen und die andere im westlichen Nordamerika verbreitet.

Gattungen, die früher hier eingeordnet waren:
 Aletris  ⇒ Nartheciaceae
 Harperocallis  ⇒ Tofieldiaceae
 Isidrogalvia  ⇒ Tofieldiaceae
 Japonolirion  ⇒ Petrosaviaceae
 Lophiola  ⇒ Nartheciaceae
 Metanarthecium  ⇒ Nartheciaceae
 Narthecium  ⇒ Nartheciaceae
 Nietneria  ⇒ Nartheciaceae
 Petrosavia  ⇒ Petrosaviaceae
 Pleea  ⇒ Tofieldiaceae
 Scoliopus  ⇒ Liliaceae Unterfamilie Calochortoideae
 Tofieldia  ⇒ Tofieldiaceae
 Simsenlilien (Triantha ) ⇒ Tofieldiaceae

Nutzung
Von mehreren Veratrum-Arten wurden die medizinischen und insektiziden Wirkungen untersucht; beachte die hohe Giftigkeit. Blätter und junge Pflanzen werden von Chionographis japonica gegessen. Die medizinischen Wirkungen von Chamaelirium luteum wurden untersucht. Die Cherokee verwendeten Amianthium muscitoxicum bei Stichen und es wurden die Wirkungen auf die Haut untersucht. Die unterirdischen Pflanzenteile von Melanthium virginicum wurde gegen Endoparasiten eingesetzt, deshalb wurden die medizinischen Wirkungen untersucht. Die unterirdischen Pflanzenteile von Xerophyllum tenax werden gegart gegessen.

Von einigen Trillium-Arten gibt es Sorten, die als Zierpflanzen in schattigen Bereichen von Parks und Gärten angepflanzt werden.

ESPN Scores NHL Package With Stanley Cup on ABC
By Jon Lafayette
Out-of-market games streaming on ESPN Plus
NHL hockey is returning to ESPN (Image credit: NHL)
ESPN is returning to the ice with the National Hockey League, signing a seven year deal that will put Stanley Cup games on ABC, which like ESPN is owned by The Walt Disney Co.
The deal also includes putting 75 games on Disney's ESPN Plus and Hulu streaming services.
The league's out-of-market streaming package is moving from NHL.TV to become part of an ESPN Plus subscription, giving those subscribers access to more than 1,000 games a year.
The NHL is still talking with Comcast's NBCUniversal, which is its current television partner. NBCU is shutting down its NBCSN cable channel, but could carry hockey on NBC and USA Network.
"This partnership of the world's top hockey league and the platforms of The Walt Disney Company is a big win for our fans and our game," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said. "Not only will this groundbreaking, seven-year deal enable the NHL to benefit from the incomparable power, reach and influence of The Walt Disney Company and ABC/ESPN, it sets a new standard in delivering our game to the most passionate and tech-savvy fans in sports in the ways they now demand and on the platforms they use."
Financial terms were not disclosed.
"This agreement clearly underscores The Walt Disney Company's leadership in the sports media landscape and serves as a blueprint for sports deals in the future," said Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of ESPN. "We know the power of the NHL and are thrilled to welcome it back as a significant new pillar across our platforms, and we look forward to connecting more deeply and directly with some of the sports world's most passionate fans."
ABC will have exclusive coverage of the Stanley Cup Final in four of the seven years of the agreement. Disney can simulcast those games on ESPN properties including ESPN Plus.
There will be 25 exclusive national regular season games on ABC or ESPN each year, with 75 national games streaming on ESPN and Hulu.
In each season, ESPN and ABC will have live, exclusive coverage of one Conference Final series and half of all First Round and Second Round games from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Disney's networks will also have coverage of the NHL Face-off on opening night, the NHL All-Star Game and Skills Challenge each season, plus other events the league plans to create.
Comcast's NBC Sports has been paying the NHL $2 billion a year under a 10 year deal that expires after this season.
Comcast, which owns part of the Philadelphia Flyers, picked up the rights to the NHL after ESPN decided not to renew its contract in 2005. Games were televised on what was then OLN, which eventually became NBCSN.

Amazon Expands 'Bosch' Universe with Two Spinoffs


National Fleet Products has introduced the new remote-access UFO Cloud Lock and Vehicle Security System. The cloud-based, app-driven locking technology puts advanced Internet of Things (IoT) security tools in the hands of fleet managers.
The UFO Cloud Lock and Vehicle Security System gives fleet managers and logistics professionals a high level of security control. Using the SHA256 encrypted communication protocol developed by the National Security Agency (NSA), all electronic commands and equipment communications are ultra-secure.
An easy-to-use app transcends mechanical keys, allowing managers to create virtual keychains of admission that can be modified in real time. Using the app's dedicated dashboard, locks can be opened and closed, and access permissions granted, all from the manager's remote location and wherever they have access to a phone or computer.
Through IoT connectivity, it's also possible to manage an "ecosystem" of interlocking security systems including those in locks, doors, entrance gates, machines and cabinets. The system gives managers total control over who can use virtual keys, and exactly what they have permission to access and when.
The system's tool tagging feature is particularly relevant to work truck applications and anywhere tools and equipment are regularly transported in and deployed from a vehicle. Not only can managers confirm that the right tools are onboard before the truck is dispatched, but they can also make sure the same tools are accounted for and loaded before the vehicle leaves the worksite.
The system's "Fleet Box" solution not only controls all vehicle locks, but also helps manage real keys. Tagged keys can be left in secure, dedicated areas inside the cab, and access can be granted via the app and a QR code. Real-time van checkup is also available through use of an optional telematic device that allows fleet managers to monitor dynamic vehicle information, such as GPS position, fuel consumption and average speed.
When functioning in a traditional delivery capacity, the system's self-locking "slam-lock" feature enables workers to get in and out quickly, in contrast to padlocks and other removable locks. The system also has an interior unlocking cable so personnel can work in a secure vehicle if needed before exiting.
The lock's flush-mounted design eliminates exposed flanges and hasps, and its hardened stainless steel construction and domed shape make the lock drill-resistant and difficult to grip with lock-defeating tools. Its low-profile design mates with virtually any vehicle make and model.

Mount Diablo Unified School District has awarded a 30-year contract to SunPower to execute America's largest school district solar power system. SunPower is responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of the solar power systems which will staggered across 51 schools in the district.
The power system, with a capacity of 11.2 MW, will potentially save $192 million over its 30-year contract period. The power system will be installed on the rooftops of school buildings, parking lots and in hard court areas. The power system will be financed through the Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The cost of the bonds will be shared by the federal government and the district authorities.
Similar projects are being executed throughout the United States. Butte College in Northern California will save an estimated $150 million over 30 years once its 4.5 MW solar power system becomes operational next year. The University of Delaware is also planning to install roof-top solar power systems which are likely to generate annual savings of $30,000.
Moving towards decentralization is the perfect solution for not only for our environmental problems but economic problems as well. According to Environment Protection Agency, the average emission rates from coal-fired power generation are: 2,249 lbs/MWh (1020 kg/MWh) of carbon dioxide, 13 lbs/MWh (5.9 kg/MWh) of sulfur dioxide, and 6 lbs/MWh (2.7 kg/MWh) of nitrogen oxides. Switching to decentralized power generation, therefore, prevents emission of these hazardous pollutants.
Economically this type of projects make sense because we are investing in better infrastructure. Coal-fired power plants (and others based on conventional fuel technologies) will be first to face taxes or penalties once some kind of national carbon emission reduction legislation is passed. It would not be long before the United States becomes a party to an international agreement to comprehensively reduce carbon emissions.
Additionally, with the up-gradation of the aging transmission infrastructure and the need to expand it to connect the large-scale renewable energy power plants would mean at least a slight increase in the electricity bills. So the grid electricity is not going to become any cheaper in the near future.
While the initial capital investment will be high, the savings generated over the operational period of the project are extremely attractive. The cost of the project and the payments to be made to SunPower can be easily extracted from the $192 million savings.
One of the models following this principles is being followed in India by the energy efficiency contractors. These companies are contracted to execute projects to improve the energy efficiency of a system, machine or a building. The entire project cost is borne by the company and customer pays the company after a period of one year once the substantial savings have been generated. The company is paid a portion of these savings every year. Once the payment period has been completed, all the savings go to the customer.
It is heartening to see the federal government supporting such projects. These projects should be encouraged more and should not be considered only on the basis of initial capital cost, the savings and the environmental & health costs related to conventional power generation technologies must also be considered.

"I was passed from pillar to post until I rang NYAS"
The NYAS National Helpline is a lifeline to many children and receives around 24,500 contacts a year. The Helpline offers advice and information as well as allocating independent advocates to around 10,000 cases created each year. This ensures NYAS can continue to provide the help these children need.

Freepost - NYAS
This year we answered more than 20,000 calls for advice and support and received 4,500 referrals online.
Calls come from children as young as 7.
A third of children who contact us are under the age of 10.
A further one third of the children are aged between 10 and 15.
"My name is Joe and I rang NYAS when my social worker told me that I had to move from where I was living and return to the children's home where I had been bullied. I was so unhappy at that children's home that I had run away and taken an overdose. After a few days in hospital I went to a short term placement. The same day that I rang NYAS one of their advocates came to see me. He listened to me and agreed to tell my social worker about why I was so scared and unhappy about going back to the home. Initially they said they had no alternative but to return me there. The advocate then helped me make a formal complaint. Within an hour of the complaint being received by a senior manager I was told I could move to live with a foster carer. I moved the next day – this would never have happened without NYAS' help."
