If you're planning to get into PHP web development, you can save yourself a lot of time (not to mention more than a few headaches) by working with a development framework. Designed to reduce development overhead and dial down complexity in the development process, a framework includes a series of tools, pre-built components, and code samples that you can use to eliminate a lot of the redundant legwork when it comes to web development.
There's just one problem – there's an absolute metric ton of frameworks floating around the web. How exactly do you decide which one is the right choice for you? Which one is the best option for web development?
Honestly…it depends. I think the best way to explain what I mean by that is to give you an overview of some of the most popular frameworks, and let you decide for yourself which one works best. Let's dive right in.
Compared to some of the other frameworks on this list, Laravel is pretty new – it was only released in 2011. That said, it's also one of the most popular frameworks around, with a massive ecosystem, and instant hosting and deployment platform, and an official website with a ton of excellent documentation and tutorials. I might even go so far as to say that it's got the most forgiving learning curve of any framework on this list, owed solely to the fact that its documentation is so formidable.
That's not its only advantage either. Its MVC architecture and file/code organization allow for rapid development with a high level of abstraction, and it's got a ton of out-of-the-box functionality and incredibly strong encryption. The one trade-off is that it tends to have a bit of a heavy resource footprint – you might need a fairly hearty database to run Laravel unless you're using its light-weight engine, Blade.
Yii 2
A rewrite of the Yii Framework, the biggest advantage of Yii 2 is that it's essentially designed to boost the performance of the websites on which it's implemented. That's because it uses something known as the lazy loading technique, which defers initialization of objects until they're absolutely needed. It's also purely object-oriented, so its codebase is both clean and logical.
Integrated with jquery, Yii 2 comes with a huge list of AJAX-enabled features, an intuitive skinning and theming mechanism, and a powerful class code generator. The biggest weakness of Yii 2 is that unlike Laravel, it doesn't have any built-in allowances, nor does it organize your code. That means that if you don't organize things yourself while lettering, it can get messy fast.
With a wide developer community and a ton of dedicated fans, the Symfony framework is, oddly enough, relied upon by several other frameworks and projects – including Laravel. It works primarily off of elements known as Components, reusable PHP libraries that you can use for tasks such as form creation, object configuration, routing, authentication, and templating.
Because of how Symfony is architected, it offers excellent performance, and it's also both stable and well-documented, maintained, and supported. It's also one of the more mature frameworks on the list, meaning its community is far more extensive than most of your other options.
There are two main tradeoffs with Symfony. The first is that while it's every bit as flexible and functional as the other frameworks here, it also has a much steeper learning curve. That's not too bad in and of itself – it's the second one that could really cause you trouble.
See, Symfony2 at the time of writing does not support the MVC Framework – and many businesses are moving towards the use of MVC.
Released in 2012, the Phalcon framework was originally written in C and C++, and is designed from the ground up for performance optimization. If you want a blazing fast website, this is very likely the framework for you. Better yet, since it's delivered as a C-extension, its architecture is optimized without requiring you to learn the C programming language – you can code in PHP, just as with the other frameworks on the list.
Well-documented and easy to use, Phalcon increases both execution speed and decreases resource usage, while also coming with a wealth of features like asset management, security, caching, and a universal auto loader.
Unfortunately, the main drawback of Phalcon is that it doesn't work with HHVM. It's also less open-source than Laravel, and its developers tend to be a bit slower to patch bugs than with other frameworks.
Although CodeIgniter is nearly ten years old now, its age doesn't really show. A lightweight PHP framework with a straightforward installation process and minimal configuration requirements, it's the best option if PHP version conflict is a concern for your team. It only requires PHP 5.2.4, but works on pretty much all hosting platforms.
Where CodeIgniter falls a bit short is in the fact that it doesn't offer namespaces. It's also not particularly friendly towards unit testing, and it has comparatively few libraries when evaluated side by side with frameworks like Laravel. Still, if you want something that's quick, simple, and easy to configure, CodeIgniter is your go-to.
Last but certainly not least, we've got the Zend framework. Robust, stable, and highly-configurable, Zend is an excellent option for larger, more complex projects. With major partners like IBM, Microsoft, Google, and Adobe, Zend's got some serious power behind it. Not only that, Zend Framework 3 is optimized for PHP 7, even as it supports PHP 5.5 and up.
Do note that Zend isn't especially suited for rapid application development as other frameworks – but if you're running a massive project, that's probably not much of a concern for you.
Choose Your Weapon
So, which of the above frameworks is the best option for web development? Honestly, it's whichever one works best for you. There's no right answer, and the above list is hardly a comprehensive one.
Get out there, do a bit of research, and pick whichever framework you're comfortable with using, Once you've decided, Future Hosting will be here to provide you with a place to host your site, application, or whatever else you're looking to create.

Most people have a basic understanding of the workings of an HVAC system. However, there's a lot of confusing and downright incorrect information out there, which can cause problems if you wind up believing the wrong thing. If you ever have questions about your HVAC system, give Pickerington Heating & Cooling in Pickerington, Ohio, a call. We will be happy to provide you with accurate answers to any questions you may have.
Your HVAC system is designed to provide hot or cold air based on an area of square footage. Closing or opening doors will not change the amount of space that your HVAC system will cool down or warm up. Closing doors is not an effective means of temperature control for your home. A zoning system is the answer for anyone looking for temperature control on a room-to-room basis.
Once again, the HVAC system in your home is designed to heat or cool a specific amount of space, and for a specific amount of time. The only thing you will get from turning up the temperature setting on your thermostat is a higher electric bill. Your furnace will indeed run longer, but its performance is already pre-programmed, so you're just wasting energy and money.
Actually, the exact opposite is true. Once your HVAC system has been completely shut off, it will have to work even harder to heat or cool your home when it is turned back on. If you want to reduce the energy being used by your system when it isn't needed, upgrade to a programmable thermostat or consider replacing your current HVAC system with one that runs longer, but at lower temperatures.
Routine preventive maintenance is just as crucial for your home's HVAC system as medical checkups are for you and your family. A comprehensive professional inspection of your HVAC system and all its components will go a long way in making sure your home is winter-weather ready. Pickerington Heating & Cooling will schedule our neighbors in Pickerington, Ohio, and the surrounding areas for a thorough HVAC inspection and cleaning by one of our trained HVAC technicians.
Some people think that they can pop a new air filter into their furnace at the beginning of the cold weather season an forget about it until the next year. The truth is, neglecting your furnace's air filter can result in severe damage to your entire HVAC system, Mark a reminder for yourself on your calendar or in your phone to check the air filter every 30 days during the season when your furnace is in use and replace it whenever it gets dirty.
If you allow your air filter to become clogged with dust, dirt, and debris, then your HVAC system may pay a heavy price – which will cost you a hefty price when repairs are needed. When air can't pass through the air filter, your furnace will work harder, trying to force air through it. This can cause the motor to become overheated and stop working.
Having your HVAC system professionally inspected and tuned up regularly is essential, but doing your part toward the upkeep of your system is just as important to its performance and longevity. Don't neglect the simple things like replacing the air filter as needed.
Taking good care of your home's HVAC system means knowing what to do and what not to do. Cranking up the temperature on your thermostat is not the most effective way to warm your home quickly. Preventive maintenance is essential to the care of your HVAC system. Change your furnace's air filter as often as it gets dirty to keep your furnace work.
At Pickerington Heating & Cooling, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to answer any HVAC questions you may have an to provide repair and maintenance services for your HVAC system. Give us a call at (614) 837-4026 or visit us on the web at https://www.pickheat.com/appointments/. We pride ourselves on providing the best customer service with a smile to be found in Pickerington, Ohio, and the surrounding areas.

A Conversation With Tariq Ramadan
|Wednesday, June 23,2010 10:12
The U.S. State Department recently overturned his six-year ban from the country, allowing him to visit and speak in the U.S. How have his experiences influenced his views on the reform of radical Islam and the bridging of cultural differences? What can Western Muslims do to balance faith and modernity? And what lies ahead for the future of Islam in Europe, the U.S. and the rest of the world? Ramadan addressed these questions and related topics at a press luncheon hosted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
Ramadan is a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Oxford's St Antony's College. He is also the president of a Brussels-based think tank, European Muslim Network, and the author of more than 20 books, including What I Believe, published in November 2009. Foreign Policy magazine named him one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2009.

Calif. crowd who saw 'Avengers: Endgame' possibly exposed to measles
Moviegoers who went to see "Avengers: Endgame" at a theater in California could have possibly been exposed to measles, health officials said.
The Orange County Health Care agency said a woman who had just returned from a trip abroad was infected with measles when she went to see a midnight showing of the blockbuster hit at the AMC Theater in Fullerton on April 25, according to KNSD. Those who attended the same screening may have been exposed to the disease until around 4 a.m.
Employees at the theater said they were stunned by the announcement.
"The last place I would ever expect it was at my job. I wasn't even expecting Orange County," AMC employee Carlee Greer-McNeill told the station. "People, if you know you have the measles, please don't come to a movie theater, let alone a public place."
The sick female moviegoer, believed to be in her 20s, was placed under quarantine after being diagnosed.
Symptoms of measles usually occur between a week and two weeks after a person is infected, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An individual with the virus can suffer from a high fever, runny nose and watery eyes. Several days after being infected, he or she can also develop a rash that begins on the face and later spreads to the arms, legs and feet.
Orange County health officials encouraged those who think they may have been exposed last week to notify their health providers and check their vaccination history.
The woman's diagnosis is the first in the county. Six other cases have been similarly reported in Los Angeles.

The Arapahoe Philharmonic staff and Board of Directors met on Saturday to discuss how to move forward in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and suggested precautionary measures by the CDC and Governor Polis.
We made the difficult decision to suspend the rest of our 2019-2020 "On With the Dance!" Season. This means the March 27 and May 1 concert programs will not take place as originally scheduled.
We will be working to reschedule the March 27 program, featuring the world premiere of Jack Frerer's splinter and a performance by concerto competition winner Ethan Blake, to a later date. We are also exploring the possibility of presenting a performance over the summer after the threat of COVID-19 subsides.
This is an uncertain time for all of us. Know that we will be working diligently to make the arrangements mentioned above and keeping you all in the loop as much as possible over the coming weeks. We are grateful for your patience as this will all likely take some time to sort out.
For subscribers and single ticket holders:
Unused tickets will gladly be accepted to any rescheduled orchestra performances we present. If you prefer, you will also have options to receive an account credit toward 2020-2021 ticket purchases, donate the value of the tickets back to the AP as a tax-deductible contribution, or request a refund. You do not need to do anything now, and we recommend waiting to decide until we firm up the plans mentioned above.
Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have at this time: 303-781-1892, email@example.com or email@example.com.
We are grateful for you, and look forward to being able to make music for you again soon!

Pompeo's elite taxpayer-funded dinners raise new concerns
What did you EXPECT when you voted for a documented con-man?
As federal workers file out of the State Department at the end of a Washington workday, an elite group is often just arriving in the marbled, flag-lined lobby: Billionaire CEOs, Supreme Court justices, political heavyweights and ambassadors arrive in evening attire as they're escorted by private elevator to dinner with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Until the coronavirus shut them down in March, the gatherings were known as "Madison Dinners" — elaborate, unpublicized affairs that Pompeo and his wife, Susan Pompeo, began in 2018 and held regularly in the historic Diplomatic Reception Rooms on the government's dime.
State Department officials involved in the dinners said they had raised concerns internally that the events were essentially using federal resources to cultivate a donor and supporter base for Pompeo's political ambitions — complete with extensive contact information that gets sent back to Susan Pompeo's personal email address. The officials and others who attended discussed the dinners on condition of anonymity.
An NBC News investigation found that Pompeo held about two dozen Madison dinners since taking over in 2018. NBC News obtained a master guest list for every dinner through the end of 2019, as well as internal State Department calendars from before the pandemic emerged, showing that future dinners were on the books through at least October. The master list includes the names of nearly 500 invitees and specifies who accepted, although it is possible some individuals RSVP'd but did not show up in Foggy Bottom for dinner.
The records show that about 29 percent of the invitees came from the corporate world, while about a quarter of them hailed from the media or entertainment industries, with conservative media members heavily represented. About 30 percent work in politics or government, and just 14 percent were diplomats or foreign officials. Every single member of the House or the Senate who has been invited is a Republican.
The dinners are named after James Madison, America's fourth president and fifth secretary of state, who made a habit of inviting foreign diplomats to exchange ideas over dinner. But historians could point to no precedent for a secretary of state's playing host to such frequent gatherings, paid for by State Department funds, involving political and business leaders.
"Madison certainly paid his own entertainment expenses," said Kevin Gutzman, a professor at Western Connecticut State University who wrote a biography of Madison.
The Madison dinners, which aren't disclosed on Pompeo's public schedule, add another element to what his critics say is a pattern of pushing the edge of the envelope by using government resources for potential personal or political gain.
State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, who was abruptly fired Friday evening, was investigating whether Pompeo made a political appointee carry out personal errands like walking his dog, NBC News reported.
On Tuesday, a State Department official and two other people familiar with the matter identified the political appointee to NBC News as Toni Porter, who had also worked for Pompeo at the CIA and works currently in the Office of the Secretary of State. Emails reviewed by NBC News show Porter was the chief liaison between Pompeo's office and the Office of the Chief of Protocol, which runs the Madison dinners.
It's unclear whether the inspector general was also investigating the Madison dinners, but two administration officials told NBC News that Linick made some type of inquiry last week, before he was fired, to the protocol office. One of the officials said Pompeo's office was then notified.

2 months, Lasted for about 6 minutes
How much time did you spend until you have your first LD??
2 days
I was very young when I had my first LD that I can recall I was around the age of 12 and one night i woke up after about 4 yours of sleep i turned my tv on and feel asleep watching it, i went into a dream knowing that it was a dream cause i remembered that i was just watching tv now i was in a diff. location, that dream seemed to have lasted many hours i wish i could remember most of it.
First Lucid Dream that i had after finding out other people could do it as will was when i was around the age of 16, I practiced with WILD after using WBTB and went into SP which is normal it runs in my family on my mothers side, (at least 2 nights a week i go into SP sometimes 3) so i closed my eyes and told myself i was about to dream and a few moments later there i was dreaming away, SP use to scare me (as most people) now i welcome it, since it happens in the REM cycle of sleep, it is a good tech. if one could get use to it,
so my first LD i didn't need practice it just happened my first LD with practice happened on the first time i tried WBTB with WILD
I've joined the day after having one…
It took me about 3 days after reading about LD inducings, but it wasn't my first.
Well if you're only counting time spent trying to LD and not just recording your dreams, then mine happened in 0 days… if that's possible… hehe it hit me by suprise! And what a stupid dream too… a pitch black room… but now that I think about it, this is more clear to me now than most of my nds/ld's
took me 3 nights.
You people are fast =P
It took me 4 months after I heard about LDing. I had 2 months of just reading/studying, and 2 months of real pratice.
O days… I was in a ND and I suddenly realised it was a dream and I could controll everything around me!!
About one week to increase my DR (I didn't remember dreams at all) then 2 weeks. So it makes 3 weeks.
3rd or 4th night…somewhere in there.
I could have sworn that I once posted in a topic that asked this same exact question, but I can't seem to find it. In that case, I'll just pretend that such a topic never existed in the first place.
/me flashes a MIB memory eraser into the eyes of the current reader.
Ever since the day that I first heard of lucid dreaming, I'd give it an estimation of three weeks before I had my first lucid dream, and that was without any techniques, or any attempt to lucid dream at all.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! (About the posting in a similar topic). I had my first LD 2 days after hearing about them without any technique except autosuggestion.
Hey guys, you are fast!! Hehehehe
Just out of curiosity…how long did it take some of you to LD
its been probably 6th months for me…its seeming to be impossible now
It took me 2 days however this was because i was awlready experienced with medidation and trance state (gnosis) and i had had a few semi consious exit astral experiences.
i had one my first night and then nothing until about 2 weeks later when i began having them regularly.
Mm. I tried for almost a year, and then forgot about it. Then on halloween night I had my first.
It took me about 4 days from first hearing about LDs. However, I had experienced lucid moments before several times without knowing anything about it.
Well I had some random lucid dreams without knowing about them. But if your talking about whilst actually trying to have them, I'm not really sure, because I've never really tried to have themthrough any particular techniques or anything it's just that now I know and think about them i sometimes have them.

User: dallan74
YouÃÂre an amusing old man, but wise? I think not. :P
Yes, you probably do have an answer for everything, except that your answers are nonsensical.
Actually, I have very few questions ÃÂ they were rhetorical. I already know the creationist answers (theyÃÂve been used many times before, to no avail). I have looked, and there is no evidence for a global flood (of course, MY search extends beyond creationist websites). In fact, all evidence indicates that there was no global flood. Aside from that, the problems that arise from the story of NoahÃÂs flood are so numerous that I wonÃÂt even bother to list any more. The oneÃÂs IÃÂve already posed are more than sufficient, and I guarantee that you havenÃÂt refuted any of them. But anyone reading who is actually interested in pursuing this ludicrous line of ÃÂdebateÃÂ can find all they should need here (and they by no means list ALL the problems):
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html http://www.ncseweb.org/resources/articles/8619_issue_11_volume_4_number_1__3_12_2003.asp
You said, ÃÂthe Global Flood eliminated most of the life on earthÃÂ. I refuted this statement with one simple, glaringly obvious fact. Most life on earth is marine based. A better argument you could use in the future is that so much rain would desalinate the oceans, and would in fact kill many marine life-forms. Hey, I have to help you out a little here ÃÂ even though thereÃÂs no evidence of that happening.
Maybe not on your favourite creationist website, but I assure you there is. Google ÃÂextinction eventsÃÂ.
I did bother to look ÃÂ and what a waste of my time. There is no evidence there at all, only misinformation.
Creationism states a lot of things, but there is no reason to believe any of them. There is no evidence that the earth was much flatter 10000 years ago. Plate tectonics and mountain building are not catastrophic events, they are slow processes, taking millions of years. The Bible describes mountains numerous times, even in the context of NoahÃÂs flood.
As I said, very few, and only ancient species. Curious how you didnÃÂt list humans, why not? :P
What was NoahÃÂs methodology for classifying kinds? What were the criteria? What were the technical specifications? How many kinds were there? Can you please provide a list of exactly which animals/plants he collected ÃÂ all them please.
It doesnÃÂt matter whether they were adults or juveniles, either would have had him for a snack. And if he took babies or eggs, he would have had to raise them to sexual maturity. Any scenario you put forth is equally absurd ÃÂ and thatÃÂs only one animal. Why didnÃÂt you use the ÃÂKINDÃÂ argument for this point? It would have worked a little better. :P
God created us perfect? Well, how can anyone possibly argue with that? ThatÃÂs proof undeniable! Good explanation! But then, why did he have to drown us all and start over?
First, there is MORE biodiversity now than in the past, but you missed the point entirely. Two individuals can not repopulate a complex species. Why is it that you canÃÂt covet your neighbourÃÂs wife but you can fornicate with your mother and sister all you want? No, there is not enough genetic variation in two individuals to sustain a complex species. You want to talk about deterioration of the genome ÃÂ the incestuous inbreeding would result in innumerable genetic problems.
The main point, as I said ÃÂ NONSENSICAL.
You keep saying that the creation theory predicts things. It does not ÃÂ because there is no methodology for making predictions. It only makes wild unsupported statements, which never hold up against empirical evidence.
It is quite boring to ÃÂdebateÃÂ with someone who dismisses all scientific evidence out of hand in favour of creationist misinformation and pseudo-science. You should expand your research beyond the narrow, biased, agenda driven views of these websites ÃÂ so you donÃÂt appear as the ignoramus you do now.
If you do you will learn a lot more about the real world, like radiometric dating. It shows the earth to be around 4.5 billion years old. The oldest zircon crystal recently found in Australia is 4.4 billion years old. The Canadian Shield is 4 billion years old. I could post links to thousands of websites which show the earth to be far more than 50,000 years old, but why would I waste my time like that? You can easily do it yourself. For goodness sake, we have ice core samples that contain the climate record for half a million years.
So far, the baseless statements from your favourite creationist website belie ALL of science, not just evolution. Can you explain this? I asked you previously if there was any branch of science that creationists consider valid. You didnÃÂt answer ÃÂ and I understand why.
You must realize that speciation is NEVER defined by superficial characteristics like colour. The specification is usually breeding incompatibility. If you think otherwise, then show me the references (hopefully not creationist websites).
I am not dodging anything ÃÂ it is not a fact at all ÃÂ and IÃÂm not trying to disprove it. ItÃÂs a typical creationist ploy, to make wild unsubstantiated claims like, ÃÂthe fact that every piece of evidence that exists in the scientific literature conclusively proves that every mutation is a degenerating oneÃÂ, then putting the onus on me to disprove it. And while I already have disproved it (research bacterial plasmid transfer) ÃÂ the onus is not on me. You made the claim, you prove it. And for the fourth time (I think), evolution is about survival of the fittest. Any mutation, (whether an addition, subtraction, or change of a gene), if it is beneficial to the survival of the individual, will be propagated. THAT IS EVOLUTION. Why canÃÂt you understand this?
Let me guess ÃÂ youÃÂre middle-eastern? Anyway, as you may have read in the scientific literature, homo-sapiens originate from Africa, not the middle-east ÃÂ as if geography has anything to do with it.
I am not claiming that the dwarfism IS NOT a degeneration. You are claiming that it IS a degenerationÃÂ. Big difference! All I know is that the scientific literature says they HAVE a dwarfism allele, it does not say they are MISSING a giant allele. Not that it matters ÃÂ itÃÂs still evolution!
Bacteria ÃÂ yes I did read those few paragraphs on the creationist website you provided, and I disagree about who looks the fool. Google ÃÂgene acquisitionÃÂ, that will provide you with links.
Artificial selection ÃÂ does not select genes. It selects traits ÃÂ and has nothing to do with mutations. Genetic engineering selects genes. And youÃÂve already admitted that cows are separate species, claiming only that they are representative of one KIND. Btw, what was the original Bovid that Noah collected? Just so we know, and can compare itÃÂs genome with all the other 150 or so species of Bovid.
Fruit flies ÃÂ or course devising an environment isnÃÂt selective breeding. YouÃÂre a little slow arenÃÂt you? IÃÂll tell you again what selective breeding is. It is choosing which individuals breed in order to propagate desired traits. In the fruit fly experiments, researchers do not select which individuals breed, nor do they have a desired result. They simply provide different environments and watch what happens. ItÃÂs not a difficult thing to understand, so why canÃÂt you?
I donÃÂt think youÃÂre ignorant of the facts, I know you are!
I canÃÂt be bothered to argue any further with someone who thinks ÃÂCarbon dating actually proves that the earth defiantly under 50,000 years oldÃÂ. It does defy something, thatÃÂs for sure! 50-60,000 years is ONLY the limit of radiocarbon dating. It proves nothing about the age of the earth. Another example of creationist stupidity. There are other techniques of radiometric dating, which use much longer half-lives.
ÃÂSo for this reason, it is VITAL for proponents of the evolution theory to demonstrate that new and beneficial information is arising naturally in life. This is why all current observations prove the creation theory; all evidence demonstrates the continual decline/deterioration of all life.ÃÂ
If the changes were not beneficial, they would not survive. You are unwittingly contradicting yourself. We started with a ÃÂperfect genomeÃÂ, whatever that is, and all mutations are deteriorations (not beneficial). Yet the ÃÂoriginalsÃÂ are extinct, and here we are, us degenerates ÃÂ thriving. How strange!
Creationism does not deny speciation??? Did you really just say that? :)
Okay then, thatÃÂs a big step forward for creationists. You accept evolution in principle ÃÂ itÃÂs just the details we need to iron out ÃÂ
The number of extinct species is not predicted by evolutionary theory. Do you regard all of biology, paleontology, geology, taxonomy, mathematics, etc. with the same incredulity that you regard evolution? Is there any branch of science that creationists consider valid?
The number of extinct species is based on normal extinction rates between extinction events. These are obviously not hard numbers; they are educated, more or less unanimous estimates among scientists in this field of study, which is completely independent of evolutionary research. They have no agenda to bolster evolution. They find what they find. It just so happens to support evolutionary theory.
Now IÃÂm not sure I follow your reasoning as to ÃÂwhy we donÃÂt have extinct animals like the dinosaursÃÂ, but let me make a few quick points ÃÂ
First, as you may (or may not) know, most life on earth is marine based, and always has been. No global flood could ever eliminate most of the life on earth. Second, there have been many extinction events, not just one, and not just global. Third, there is no geological evidence for a global flood, or even in the region of the world known in ÃÂbiblicalÃÂ times. Fourth, there is insufficient water on the planet to submerge the continents. Fifth, there are no (or very few) current species represented in the fossil record alongside the dinosaurs, or the trilobites ÃÂ that includes humans (which is the alleged reason for ÃÂthe floodÃÂ). But I suppose you think carbon dating is nonsense too, or that rock strata has nothing to do with geological time. Sixth ÃÂ was not Noah charged with collecting two of every creature to repopulate the earth? Did he not do as he was instructed, or did he fail in his mission? If he succeeded, then there was no mass extinction, all species would have survived. Seventh, how did good old Noah manage to get a pair of T-RexÃÂs aboard his ark? Not to mention all the other animals (and plants). And how did they survive? What did he feed them? I guess the paleontologists have it wrong too. They werenÃÂt really ravenous carnivores, right? Eighth, how did Noah manage to live nearly 1000 years? Ninth, two members of a [complex] species are not enough to repopulate. There is not enough genetic diversity and the inbreeding would lead to all sorts of problems (which is another point supporting our evolution from simpler life-forms).
Okay, more than a few. The main point being: the whole story of Noah is absurd, and the fact of vast species extinction (with increasing biodiversity) is contrary to creation stories. Evolution provides the only intelligible explanation.
That you believe the story of NoahÃÂs flood implies, among other things, that you are more than a creationist, youÃÂre a fundamentalist. On the other hand, you admit that speciation occurs, which is neither a fundamentalist nor a creationist view. So IÃÂm really not sure what you are ÃÂ maybe youÃÂre just playing devilÃÂs advocate.
Whether genetic information generally increases or decreases, or specifically increases or decreases, or simply changes, it is still evolution. Increasing genetic information is by no means a requisite of evolution, although that is the general trend, since the more information you have in your DNA, the more you can do. And if it leads to high intelligence, that also helps. But it is certainly no guarantee of survival, which is the one driving force behind evolution. Humanity (the most complex) could well be destroyed by bacteria (the simplest). There are many species which have remained virtually unchanged for tens of millions of years (i.e. Great White Shark). Everything depends on the selecting mechanisms. There are environments on the planet where only the simplest of life-forms can survive. Simply put, increased genetic information is not necessarily an improvement, unless it is favourable to the selecting mechanisms.
So, you have an incorrect understanding of evolution if you think it requires an infusion of new genetic information. And frankly, I would suggest you have an incorrect interpretation of creationism as well. This ÃÂdeterioration of the genomeÃÂ notion is a very recent modification to the ever-ÃÂevolvingÃÂ creationist stance in an attempt to rebut mounting scientific evidence. They can no longer seriously deny evolution, so in a last stitch effort to stave off the inevitable they rename it ÃÂdegenerationÃÂ. Smooth move, but it carries no punch.
You are making a huge leap to immediately say that the Pennsylvania AmishÃÂs dwarfism gene represents a deterioration of the human genome. What is the ideal that these supposed degenerations are measured against? Is blonde a degeneration of brunette? No, it is simply different, and it is absolutely not proof against evolution. The allele has become more frequent because of the small initial population which has remained [reproductively] isolated, and because it is in no way detrimental to their survival. This is very predictable by evolutionary theory.
Bacteria ÃÂ You are wrong. Bacteria do not become resistant by ÃÂa loss of the control gene that regulates the production of the chemical that combats penicillinÃÂ. This is an example of the creationistsÃÂ ignorance, or their imagination. Certain bacteria eh? Which ones exactly? And do they also have innate resistance to methacillin, oxacillin, etc, just waiting for that ÃÂcontrolÃÂ gene to fail?
Yes, there are pre-existing ÃÂvariantsÃÂ within a bacterial population that are resistant to antibiotics, and this resistance arises from the ACQUISITION of gene(s), in any of three ways: spontaneous mutation, transformation, and transferal of plasmids. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a classic case of survival of the fittest. The variants that survive, because of their unique gene(s), then flourish. The same idea applies to pesticide resistance in insects.
Artificial Selection ÃÂ You are wrong. It does not ÃÂenhanceÃÂ genes, whatever that means. It is the practice of selecting preferred traits by encouraging their propagation. ThatÃÂs all. Cows are a result of artificial selection, they are made by us. They are a member of the bovine family, but they canÃÂt breed with buffalo. They are a separate species.
Fruit Flies ÃÂ You are wrong. The fruit fly experiments do not use selective breeding ÃÂ they rely on natural selection (though the selecting environments are devised). As I said initially, evolution HAS been observed in these experiments (flies with very different characteristics), and as I said subsequently, new species have been created as well. Do you think there is only one species of fruit fly? And what is your basis for saying that all the results represent a deterioration of the genome? Why do you imagine that two groups of flies, both descended from the same original group, do not interbreed when reintroduced after many generations? That is the most basic definition of new species (speciation), which youÃÂve already admitted takes place.
Your ÃÂscrutinyÃÂ leaves much to be desired, leaving out the fact that you contradict yourself. First claiming that all mutations are some sort of deterioration of some supposed ideal genome (with no basis for doing so), then claiming that this deterioration is somehow inconsistent with evolution (which itÃÂs not anyway). And you seem to think that all of science is some vast conspiracy to replace God with evolution, which is obviously ridiculous (they are not mutually exclusive). There is no greater scrutinizing process than science, and evolution continues to hold up against such scrutiny. It is creationism (at least the fundamentalist version) that crumbles with just a mere application of logic.
Already IÃÂm going to have to drastically shorten my replies. This is consuming far too much time. The AssLicking Ghandi had one redeeming quality ÃÂ brevity! :)
P.S. If you ever have appendicitis, I wouldnÃÂt go to Robert Mitchell ÃÂ heÃÂll likely put you on a transplant waiting list, lest he remove a vital organ. ;)
Quoting the old wise man:
Dallan/Doug As much as I hate to interrupt this highly entertaining ÃÂdiscussionÃÂ, I have a few questions. You state that evolution has been observed, demonstrated and verified over and over. I was wondering if you could provide any specific evidence of this. I donÃÂt intend starting another highly amusing slanging match, but I am interested in a genuine discuss of the facts. I have been studying and debating the creation/evolution issue for a while now, and I can honestly say that I have found no evidence that even comes close to demonstrating or verifying the theory of evolution. But I am always open to new evidence!
I'm not surprised by my own meager knowledge of evolution, but with just a quick search it is evident that speciation has indeed been observed, and there are many methods by which it can occur.
Quoting The AssLicking Ghandi:
You really are a useless f@cking moron. You want to claim that a century observing a process that takes billions of years produces indisputable facts?
Are you really that f@cking stupid or is it a put on?
I don't have to insult you. You insult yourself every time you open your stupid f@cking mouth and the only reason you believe in that wacky evolution garbage is you think claiming to be descended from monkeys is an excuse for your useless waste of skin.
Uh-huh. Maybe we should take a poll. Personally I think it's obvious who the really stupid one is.

But I am always open to new evidence!
First, can I assume then that you are a creationist, or at least that youÃÂre leaning in that direction? If that is the case, perhaps IÃÂll start with what I think is the most salient point ÃÂ that there are far more species that have existed on the planet than exist today. Think about that. 99% of all the species that have lived on earth are extinct (the most famous being the dinosaurs). You donÃÂt need to be a logician to see that creationism is incompatible with this fact. Unless one is so silly as to propose that God planted all the fossils to mislead us, evolution offers the only coherent explanation.
But you were asking for evidence of evolution observed ÃÂ
Okay. To my knowledge (and I could be wrong), speciation has not been observed. The nature of evolution is that it is a very slow process. It is the gradual accumulation of small changes in the genetic makeup of a population which are beneficial to an individualÃÂs survival and which are therefore passed on to successive generations with greater frequency. Speciation occurs when, for whatever reason, a population divides, separates, and the two (or more) groups become isolated from each other so to prevent interbreeding. The accumulation of changes (or mutations) will be different within each isolated group because mutations are random, the mutagens may be different, and the selecting environment will be different. It may take hundreds or thousands of generations but eventually the separate groups will evolve along different paths and become unique species. This is sometimes referred to as macro-evolution, and it simply takes too long to be observed in real-time.
It is the small changes, the changes in the ratios of alleles within a population (which is what evolution ultimately boils down to) that can be observed ÃÂ and have been observed in nearly every species studied, including humans. For example, the Amish of Pennsylvania, who are all descended from an original 200 settlers, one of which had an unusual allele that leads to a rare kind of dwarfism. 300 years later, the frequency of this allele is 1 in 14 in that population, whereas it is 1 in 1000 in the general population. This is due to an evolutionary mechanism called genetic drift. Three examples which are pertinent to the average citizen are the battles against the bacteria which develop resistance to our antibiotics, the viruses which constantly spawn new strains that are immune to our vaccines, and the insects that develop genetic resistance to pesticides. Even more pertinent is the huge variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and livestock which we consume on a daily basis. These are almost all the result of artificial selection (selective breeding) and genetic engineering ÃÂ two more mechanisms of the evolutionary process.
Not surprisingly, the phenomenon is most easily observed in small, simple life-forms with very short reproductive cycles. Researchers often use fruit flies to study the process. Their reproductive cycle is only a couple of weeks, and individuals within a population are virtually identical. The population can be split and the groups isolated from each other, then subjected to different mutagens (x-rays, gamma rays, chemicals) and different selecting environments. Flies with a variety of different characteristics can be produced ÃÂ size, shape, colour, behaviour ÃÂ though not enough to declare them a unique species. It is really no different from the variety of size, shape, colour, behaviour in people, it just happens much faster, and in a controlled setting.
Perhaps you donÃÂt find these examples very compelling, and perhaps you shouldnÃÂt. Skepticism is a good thing. But there are countless examples like this in the biological world, not to mention all the evidence from the other disciplines of molecular biology, chemistry, genetics, statistics, paleontology, geology, climatology, behavioural science, comparative anatomy, etc. When all this evidence is brought together, viewed as a whole, and it all points to the same conclusion, then it becomes overwhelming.
Of course, I donÃÂt have the time (or inclination) to gather all such evidence and present it for you. IÃÂm not here to be a professor of evolution, nor am I an expert. YouÃÂll have to do your own research, or take a few courses. But I suggest that it should not be as difficult as you make it seem. The information is readily available at your library or even on-line. A quick glance at an encyclopedia should net you several examples of evolution observed. I can understand your reluctance to accept such evidence, since it conflicts with your beliefs.
There are all sorts of processes which operate on a time scale far longer than a human lifetime. You canÃÂt observe the formation of the Grand Canyon by the erosive force of the Colorado River. You canÃÂt observe the formation of the Himalayas by plate tectonics or continental drift. You canÃÂt observe the rotation of the Milky Way galaxy by watching the constellations change. And you canÃÂt observe speciation. All these things proceed at a rate which is not, or barely, perceptible to us. But how can the intelligent person deny these things happen against the avalanche of supporting evidence, and lacking any reasonable alternative? He canÃÂt.
Now, donÃÂt get me wrong. There could certainly be (and probably are) some conclusions from evolution which are incorrect. Like, saying one particular species evolved from another particular species, or saying that two species are related by a particular common ancestor from a particular time in the past. Such conclusions can not be stated as absolute fact. The evolution of humans from apes, however, is extremely well supported by evidence and we can be very confident about that conclusion. It is the process of evolution, to which I am referring, which can be stated as absolute fact.
I am always open to new evidence as well. So, do you have any credible evidence contrary to evolution? Or any evidence in support of creationism?

U.S. Classifies Canadian Citizen as "Specially Designated Global Terrorist"
22 July 2006: Pursuant to Executive Order 13224, the Bush administration on Thursday named a Canadian citizen with high-level ties to al Qaeda, Abu Sufian Al-Salamabi Muhammed Ahmed `Abd Al-Razziq, more commonly known as Abousofian ABDELRAZIK, 44, as a "specially designated global terrorist" and launched action to seize his U.S. financial assets.
ABDELRAZIK, who also holds dual Canadian and Sudanese citizenship, "is known to have been a member of an extremist cell in Montreal" and had close associations with Ahmed RESSAM, the convicted millennium bomber, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a press release dated July 20, 2006.
"According to information available to the United States government, (Abdelrazik) has provided administrative and logistical support to al Qaeda," the Treasury statement said.
"He has been identified as being close to Abu ZUBAYDA, a former high-ranking member of the al-Qaeda network, involved in recruitment and training."
Abdelrazik disappeared shortly after appearing in videotape deposition from Montreal in 2005. He was a witness in Ressam's trial, who was charged with plotting to blow up the Los Angeles International Airport during millennium celebrations on New Year's Eve 1999. His plot was ultimately foiled by an astute U.S. Border Patrol Officer, Diana Dean, on December 14, 1999. Investigation and interrogation of RESSAM revealed that operatives were also inside the U.S. awaiting his entry from Canada. RESSAM was a member of a large, Montreal based terrorist network inside Canada and the U.S. The network had financial and operational ties Islamic terrorist groups throughout Europe.
According to a recent Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) report, French judicial documents identify him as an "important Islamist activist of the international jihad." He is also identified as a close associate of Odil CHARKOUI, an immigrant from Morocco who was arrested on a federal security certificate in 2003 and is now facing deportation from Canada.
"Treasury continues to take action against al Qaeda and its support network," said Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Daniel Glaser. "(ABDELRAZIK) has been closely tied to senior al Qaeda leadership. We are taking steps to inhibit his ability to harm the United States and our allies."
ABDELRAZIK'S designation as a global terrorist enables the U.S. government to seize any of his assets and prohibit any financial transactions with a U.S. national.

The original projection of a two week project may have been possible if all work went accordingly to planned, but we should have know better. 16 days after the re-texturing of the house began, we are STILL finalizing all texture issues. The paint is on hold until texture is finished and the hardwood cannot be installed until all work is complete. With fingers crossed and keeping positive thoughts (which are hard at times), we hope to move in early next week.
Loading up the truck Thursday night and Giada rocking an interesting new style. Can't thank Scott enough for the storage.
Prepped for Hardwood
The plumbing is hidden in the wall and drywall/texture is now complete.
All the blue tape is where texture needs to be fixed. YIKES!

xtensa: remove duplicate CONFIG_HOTPLUG definition
As part of the plan to remove CONFIG_HOTPLUG, it was found that xtensa duplicates this config option for no reason (it's already defined as part of init/Kconfig). This patch removes it from the xtensa-only Kconfig file. Cc: Chris Zankel <firstname.lastname@example.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <email@example.com>

Elections in the newly created 10 cities, hang in balance after former Bufumbira East MP challenged the legislation process leading to their creation earlier this year as illegal.
Mr Eddie Kwizera, who is also the former special assistant to President Museveni, in his petition filed before the Constitutional Court on July 28, contends that in declaring 15 urban areas as cities, it changed the composition of Uganda without amending the Constitution.
He further argues that the Constitution only provided for one city, which is Kampala and that by Parliament merely passing a resolution to create new 15 cities without bringing a constitutional amendment Bill to amend the Constitution prior to the creation of the new cities, it renders the process illegal.
"I know that in declaring 15 urban areas as cities, Parliament changed the composition of Uganda without amending the Constitution. I later formed an opinion that the creation of districts was mixed up with creation of cities," Mr Kwizera states in his affidavit before court.
"The above named additions require Parliament to pass a Bill by at least two thirds of Members of Parliament which Bill is ratified by two thirds of the districts. This, however, was never done." he added.
Parliament on April 25, by resolution, created 15 more cities with 10 of them coming into operation on July 1.
The first 10 cities that got operational are Jinja, Arua, Gulu, Mbarara, Fort Portal, Mbale, Masaka, Hoima, Lira and Soroti.
The other cities that will become operational in the subsequent financial years of 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively are Entebbe, Moroto, Nakasongola, Kabale and Wakiso.
Sould the court agree with Mr Kwizera that the 15 cities were illegally created, then it means that the EC would have wasted its efforts in organising 2021 General Election for directly elected MPs, female MPs representing the 10 operational cities, councillors and mayors as the same would be non-existent constituencies.
Through his lawyers of Victoria Advocates and Legal Consultants, Mr Kwizera wants court to declare that the resolution passed by Parliament on April 25, contravenes Article 5 (2) and 261 of the Constitution.
He also wants the Nakasero-based court to declare the said resolution as null and void.
Mr Kwizera also wants the court to invoke article 137 of the Constitution that could put aside any other business at the court and swiftly decide his petition.
According to him, this will help the EC know its position early enough on whether to continue organising the elections in the newly created 10 cities or abandon the same to avoid wasting taxpayers' money in scenarios of court declaring the same elections null and void.
The forthcoming polls are slated for February 2021 though the actual date has not yet been fixed by the EC.
He also faults the Attorney General in his capacity as the chief government legal adviser, for not having advised Cabinet about the illegality in creating 15 new cities without amending the Constitution.
Mr Kwizera further reasons that he brought this petition because of his background and commitment to good governance and that he could not sit back and look on as illegalities take place.
"When I was at State House as a special assistant to the President, he advised us that when there is an error, we should raise it with the implementers and when they refuse, then we should go to the public," says Mr Kwizera.
The filing of the petition comes at the time when the Supreme Court is yet to decide on a similar case regarding the constitutional legality of the election of six MPs into six newly created municipalities.
The Constitutional Court in December last year, ruled and ordered the six MPs out of Parliament on grounds that they were elected into non-existing constituents.
This petition too was filed by Mr Kwizera.
The justices of the Constitutional Court, in their unanimous decision last year, held that the elections in the aforementioned constituents/ municipalities, were conducted neither in general elections nor as a way of by-elections, which are the only recognised ways of electing MPs into Parliament.
The MPs whose fate in Parliament is yet to be decided by the Supreme Court are Mr Patrick Ochan (Apac, UPC party), Dr Elioda Tumwesigye (Sheema, NRM party), Mr Tarsis Rwaburindore (Ibanda, NRM party), Mr Hashim Sulaiman (Nebbi, NRM party), Mr Asuman Basalirwa (Bugiri, Jeema party) and Mr Abraham Lokii (Kotido, NRM party).

SpaceX Successfully Completes Air Rocket Detonation Test
Test of Crew Dragon's emergency escape system, which will carry NASA astronauts into space in the future, was carried out today after several delays. In the test, SpaceX, which exploded the Falcon 9 rocket in the air, proved to the world that Crew Dragon survived undamaged.
Today, a huge step was taken as part of the project that NASA started to send its astronauts to the International Space Station with their own spacecraft. Having signed with Boeing and SpaceX companies for spacecraft , NASA has tested the emergency escape system of Crew Dragon with SpaceX today .
In fact, the test announced yesterday was postponed to 16.00 today due to bad weather conditions, but the test was taken to 18.00 after another delay decision. As part of the test, SpaceX would launch Crew Dragon into space, and on the road it would detonate the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the vehicle . The vehicle, which would detect the change in system parameters in advance and leave the rocket, would fall into the ocean without damage.
The test was successfully completed and the Crew Dragon class passed:
As you can see in the images shared by SpaceX, Crew Dragon, which is on its way, detected a sudden pressure change in the system and managed to leave Falcon 9 just before the rocket exploded. It is very important that the vehicle, which is aimed to carry a crew to the International Space Station this year, can detect such an emergency in advance and leave the rocket without damage.
As you can see from the images above, Crew Dragon opened his parachutes and fell into the ocean after this separation . Throughout the test, all of SpaceX's plans went well, and Crew Dragon proved to be a suitable tool for this mission to the world, especially NASA.
This test was the last major test SpaceX's spacecraft would be subjected to before being used by NASA . In other words, Crew Dragon will be able to carry astronauts into space in 2020 after some minor tests in the next period. You can reach the images shared by SpaceX, which broadcasts all the moments of the test live on YouTube channel, from below. You can go to 22:50 in the video to watch only the 9 minute test process without watching the entire video.

Winners have recently been chosen for the sixth international Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. An expert panel of judges — such as co-founder of Contact Press Images David Burnett and ON LANDSCAPE Magazine editor Tim Parkin — rummaged through over 3,400 entries portraying urban and natural landscapes captured by roughly 1,400 emerging and established photographers from across the globe.
Self-taught French photographer Magali Chesnel won the contest alongside the $10,000 USD cash prize for her image entitled The Harvest of Road Salt. The photo portrays an abstract-looking aerial view of cars harvesting the road salt of The Salin de l'île Saint Martin in Gruissan, France. "From the ground, this scene doesn't look glamorous at all, but from a bird's eye view, it becomes unexpected, beautiful and like a painting," said the photographer in a statement.
This year's competition also brought forth stunning images from new award categories: The Snow and Ice Award which went to Bulgarian photographer Vaseline Atanasov, The Lone Tree Award which was given to German photographer Anke Butawitsch, as well as The Heavenly Cloud Award which was snapped up by American photographer Brandon Yoshizawa.
For full details of the winning images visit the International Landscape Photographer of the Year's official website.
Elsewhere in art, Virgil Abloh announced his new Construction Zine from his "Efflorescence" exhibition.

Crunchy Vegetable Salad with Marinated Mushrooms
Prep time
15 mins
Cook time
5 mins
Total time
20 mins
This Crunchy Vegetable Salad with Marinated Mushrooms is not only super quick and easy to make, but is also amazingly delicious with a blend of bright colors and flavors. Sweet bell peppers, mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, onion, fresh herbs, and a healthy doze of simple dressing is all you need to fix your next light lunch or dinner.
Feride Buyuran
Recipe type:
1 small jar (about 2 cups) marinated button mushrooms, drained well
1 medium onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, boiled in water until half cooked (should be somewhat crunchy), peeled, and cut into thin strips
1 small green Bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into thin strips
1 small red Bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into thin strips
1 small yellow or/and orange Bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into thin strips
1 medium pickled dill cucumber, cut into thin strips
1 medium fresh cucumber, peeled and cut into thin strips
½ cup chopped fresh dill
3-4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
3-4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more, to taste
Salt and black pepper
If the mushrooms are very small, leave them whole. If bigger, cut in half.
Put the onion in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt on top. Rub and squeeze the onion with your hand, to release the bitter juices and to soften it. Rinse under running cold water, then squeeze dry to remove all the moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together. Adjust the amount of olive oil and lemon juice to taste. Toss well.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.

This blog is part of a series published on WEFLIVE from young leaders in the One Young World community who are addressing issues across the world relating to the World Economic Forum 2017 theme of 'Responsive and Responsible Leadership'.
Innovation has maintained 'buzzword' status for over a decade with no end in sight, leading to a cultural reverence and fostering of the term. Our politicians, academics, executives and thought-leaders preach innovation as a powerful force that blends technology and business to produce value. It is often referenced as key driver of economic growth and prosperity. But what is innovation? This surface-level acknowledgement doesn't do justice to the tangible practice and thought behind the word.
Innovation is not a mystical force, it is rather a set of skills and methods that can be translated, taught and proliferated through organized groups. Our trusted institutions tout the benefits of innovation as a catch-all phrase but its building blocks are not in the same spotlight. These building blocks have been documented in various collective works, each carrying similar threads through their teachings. Design Thinking championed by IDEO, the bestseller The Innovator's DNA, The Lean Startup approach popularized by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Eric Ries and many more have distilled innovation into recipes. And like their flavourful counterparts, these recipes follow similar patterns when it comes to achieving innovation.
Leaders in the public and private sectors are currently crafting physical and virtual spaces with the goal of fostering innovation and paving the next wave of progressive inventions. This thirst for innovation is matched with a growing trend of inclusion in these same business, political and academic spheres. Exploring the relationship between these two concepts reveals a symbiosis which organizations can capitalise on to provide an even greater and more tangible benefit. We cannot foster a more sustainable future without embracing this.
When you employ inclusiveness at a high level, success is inevitable. For example, companies with the most women board directors had 16% higher Return on Sales (ROS) than those with the least, and 26% higher Return on Invested Capital. Building awareness of the benefits of inclusion will revolutionise the way companies and governments are run. IDEO famously has no hierarchy or management structure in its teams, and all ideas are equal when pitched.
The mere act of studying innovation methods and its trickle-down benefits provides a strong foundation for inclusive environments and behaviour. Let's hope more of our leaders peel back the curtain behind this buzzword in 2017.
