Pre-Dentistry Advisement Track
Dual-advising is available to assist students with timely completion of both the primary major coursework and the pre-health advisement track coursework as of the date of their matriculation at SUNY Oneonta. Students must declare a primary major and are encouraged to declare their intended Pre-Health Concentration for effective advisement. Students should confer with advisors for their primary major and specific Pre-Health Concentration, beginning at the time of admission to SUNY Oneonta.
Students can review their individual degree progress via DegreeWorks.
- The Primary Major Faculty Advisor assists with selection of courses for the Primary Major Requirements.
- The Pre-Health Advisor guides the student through the Pre-Dentistry Concentration, listed below.
Pre-Dentistry Concentration Coursework
- Provides a strong foundation for DAT preparation
- Satisfies the course requirements for admission at most American dental schools.
- Additional elective courses are recommended but not required, depending on the dental schools to which students intend to apply
- Students must consult SUNY Oneonta's current undergraduate catalog for descriptions of courses, course prerequisites, and time of year when courses are offered in order to plan properly in advance.
- Students have the responsibility to check entrance requirements for schools to which they intend to apply.

|3-8 sh
*NOTE: Most Dental schools require only one semester of Biochemistry as a prerequisite, though the 2-course sequence provides foundational knowledge for DAT preparation.
Suggested Course Sequencing
The recommended course sequence is based on a student taking the DAT and applying to dental school the summer BEFORE their final year at SUNY Oneonta, and that the student will graduate in four years. If a student wishes to take a "growth year," or take a different undergraduate path, coursework plans can change accordingly.
Individual student plans may vary depending on when the student hopes to enter dental school and what major is chosen, therefore each student should work with their primary major advisor and their pre-health concentration advisor to establish their own personalized schedule.
NOTE: Many pre-dentistry students are choosing to take at least one year off after they graduate. Having a "growth year" between undergraduate studies and beginning dental school is often beneficial for applicants and does not hurt your chances of admission as long as you continue to strengthen your application. It allows time to gain additional life experiences, continue volunteering, or pursue non-academic interests.

January Recommends
My favorite local Milwaukee website has a weekly feature called OMC Recommends. Each week (or maybe once every two weeks) the editors at OnMilwaukee.com write recommendations for things–big and small, well-known or new to the scene–that they highly recommend and that you should try too. I love reading what they suggest, especially since I learn something new every time I see it.
Since I'm such a fan of this feature and since I love passing the torch of information to people, I decided to do a monthly recommendation post of things that I love, and hopefully you'll respond or give ME things to try, too!
Here's the inaugural post for you….
1. Burt's Bees Deep Cleansing Cream with Soap Bark and Chamomile: My sister-in-law had this in her shower. I tried it and it was amazing–it made my face tingly and soft. I always feel fresh and my pores love me every time I use it.
2. Dutch Chocolate Mints: Soft mint surrounded by chocolate and a hard candy shell? Yes. Sign me up please!
3. Google Reader: Odds are, if you're reading this blog, you do have a Google Reader. It keeps all of your favorite web pages in one location and informs you when they're updated. You don't need to go from site to site to see if there have been updates. Now, the only thing you need to check frantically is your reader…or facebook, if that's your thing.
4. Whole Foods' Reusable Bags: As you might have read in previous posts, I'm trying to be a better environmental citizen by using reusable bags. I have a few from different grocery stores, but I really love Whole Foods' reusable bags. They're gusseted, strong and have extra long handles for slinging over your shoulder. That way, you can put the bag on like a purse and still carry other bags in your hands. I prefer the plastic coated ones over the other ones, but they'll all do. Plus, they're way cute. I gave my mom a couple to try out, and I can't wait to hear what she thinks of them.
5. Half-Price Books: Half-Price Books aren't in Boston and I never realize how much I miss them until I'm back in Milwaukee. The book selection at HPB is amazing, and if you're into sweet vinyl or even some gifty items, you can get them here. I definitely make a trip to HPB every time I go to Milwaukee (or sometimes two, three or four times, depending on my length of stay!).
6. Continental Airlines: We just flew Continental Airlines and the service was surprisingly fantastic. Generally, I hate air travel, and I SPECIFICALLY hate air travel out of Boston, but Continental was friendly, fair, and had amazing customer service. The leg room wasn't any more or less fantastic than any other airline that I've been on, of late, but their kindness and customer service made my holiday travel much more positive and comforting.
That's what I have for January. What do you love? What do you recommend? I really cannot wait to hear!

Dutch chocolate mints are pretty great, but let's face it — they are no Andes Mints.
Hey E! I love your list. I will have to try some things there… Two things it made me think of:
1) I love half.com. Although you cannot browse like you can in HPB (and there are two in Pittsburgh — so come visit if I'm not enticement enough!), it's great for a bargain on books. I get almost all my book club books there.
2) Jet Blue is my favorite airline. The farther back you sit, the more legroom you have. The extra few inches are really apparent–and comfy. (I know I sound like a commercial; I don't care.) Also, they have direct TV in flight and individual monitors at each seat. I've also found their customer service to be excellent.
I have other favorite things, but these are two that your list sparked. Enjoying your blog…

Helpful information about remodeling or building a bathroom for all the info necessary for your bath projects, big or small. Many homeowners make the decision to remodel their bathrooms when they are no longer pleased with the way that their looks. Woke up on Friday morning around 8am and had a very busy day ahead of us. We started by driving all over the place getting all of the durarock, drywall, mud, and other accessories to start the clean up process.
Here are a few tips for creating a personalized bath on a budget. Jen really liked a tiled shower style that had a granite ledge around the base. This is very popular today because of its uniqueness as well as space saving characteristics. Contractor shows back up and starts working on the epoxy.
The first step to a personalized bath is to really know what kind of design style you have in mind. In order to feel comfy in a bathroom and to create a good spirit in there, it is necessary to thoroughly think over the position of luminaries, so that they are not exposed to splashes of water.
A word of warning though – make sure you educate yourself on the basic terminology and materials involved by reading a few home remodelling magazines or by asking friends who have completed similar redecorating projects themselves. Case in point, when you enter a washroom of some top of the line restaurant or a lodging, there will be a few peculiarities or restroom fittings Halifax you like and you can consider them for your lavatory.
Elgan Brass is one of the higher quality floor registers. We figure out the base coat, the lighter color and then the darker accent colors to sponge on. I get a bunch of painting stuff to help with the process. My fear is that eventually the clamp or copper tubing would fail and it would leak through onto the ceiling and create a huge mess – better safe than sorry and have him cap it. I would run a new line from my kitchen sink to the fridge.

San Francisco's Large Central South of Market Upzoning Finally To Take Effect In January

Latest Firm's Press
Hanson Bridgett LLP
Capturing lightning in a bottle: As fast-growing San Francisco concludes its largest rezoning in 10 years, will its novel new urban-planning guidelines for South of Market represent what the city's downtown needs in a fast-moving business, cultural and economic environment?
In early December 2018, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors gave final approval of the "Central SOMA Plan," (the Plan) resulting in the largest rezoning of the commercial heart of the city since the renowned Downtown Plan was adopted in the 1980's. The Mayor has indicated she will not veto it, and it will take effect in January 2019. The Plan covers about 230 acres and is intended to generate $500 million for local and regional transit improvements. San Francisco has published a study stating that the plan will result in $2 billion in public benefits for the neighborhood while generating $1 billion in revenue for the city's general fund.
About seven years ago, San Francisco started to fear that its high-tech boom was creating an office space demand which, if not addressed, could cause the loss of its financial and tech sector, and thus, doom the city's extremely generous social services and the progressive values for which the city is known. A rezoning process that lasts five or more years, as this one has, tends to span cycles during which a city's needs can change.
During the last two years of the city's central SOMA rezoning, the well-known housing supply crisis reached epidemic proportions. As a result, during the last six months, the Supervisor for this District, Jane Kim, amended the Plan to create more zones for housing, and fewer for offices, resulting in a change from an original 6-1 ratio of jobs to housing, to a less than 4-1 ratio. It is estimated that this will create additional new dwelling units of at least 1,240 more than what was previously planned, and a commensurate reduction of at least 4,750 new jobs. However, the majority of newly zoned lots will encourage office development. At least three large new office developments will now quickly move through the approval process with the possibility of starting construction next year.
Inspired by the landmark zoning rules of New York City in the 1920s, that require the "sculpting" of the upper floors of towers to preserve light to the street, the Central SOMA Plan has two features to accomplish this. First, an "urban room" concept that limits the height of new buildings at the street property line to a height equivalent to the width of the street. Second, there is a "skyplane" concept requiring upper story setbacks above the base building, and the sculpting of the upper building to push the building's mass away from the street. Light to the street will also be enhanced by a requirement that towers over a certain height be separated by 115 feet, with several exceptions.
For the first time, the Plan will allow the sale of Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) to new buildings within the plan area. TDRs are rights held by owners of historic buildings who can give up development rights on their lots. An example of this would be the right to add a vertical addition, in exchange for selling such development rights to developers of new buildings whose lots do not allow as much development as needed. The Plan requires that a nonresidential project receiving an increase in development capacity via the Plan must purchase TDR's from historic buildings. This is a historic preservation tool since those selling these "air rights" over historic buildings must agree to no longer add square footage to their buildings, vertically or otherwise. For the most part, proceeds of sales of air rights must be used for future maintenance and repair of the historic building. The developers of larger, new office buildings will be required to purchase TDRs from historic buildings, if the project is opting to utilize greater zoning allowance than allowed under preexisting zoning.
With only 49 square miles and the overwhelming percentage of lots zoned for 30 to 40 feet, one obvious solution for San Francisco to intensify land use was to allow greater height in the central SOMA district. Most of the current district is zoned for heights of 85 feet or less. This plan creates certain areas, generally near the Caltrain Station, along 4th Street, and adjacent to the Downtown Plan area and Rincon Hill, where height limits will be changed to 130-160 feet. A limited number of lots nearby will allow towers 200-400 feet in height.
The Plan also includes new development impact fees and taxes to fund proposed community benefits, including community facilities, transit, affordable housing, and open space. These exactions would be imposed by tiers based on height increases given, since greater allowed height means developers will have more profits from which to pay such exactions. One exaction tier covers 15-45 feet additional height, another 50-85 feet, and another 90 feet or more.
San Francisco has published a study stating that the Plan will result in nearly $2.2 billion in public benefits over a 24-year period. This is over 400% more than the $500 million in public benefits that would be expected to occur if the Plan was not adopted. Most of these public benefits would be provided by new development and be directed back to the district, while generating $1 billion in revenue for the city's general fund.
The $2.2 billion would be generated through a combination of three mechanisms: (1) specific development projects, e.g. assigning a value to on-site affordable housing units, (2) a one-time impact fee paid when a project is ready to start, such as a Jobs-Housing Linkage Fee and Plan Area fees, e.g. an Eastern Neighborhoods Infrastructure Impact Fee, and (3) ongoing taxation through a Mello Roos Community Facilities District. The new Central SOMA project fees also include the Central SOMA Community Services Facilities Fee, and the Central SOMA Community Infrastructure Fee. These supplement existing fees such as a Transportation Sustainability Fee.
San Francisco has recently passed California's first "Housing Sustainability District," (HSD). The new "Central South of Market Housing Sustainability District" will allow residential projects that meet certain standards to take advantage of a 120-day streamlined review and approval process, assuming no appeals.
The intent is to allow sponsors of residential projects to receive faster approvals in return for including at least 10% of dwelling units on-site as affordable to very low- or low-income family households and in return for paying "prevailing wages" (or using "skilled labor" for the construction of the project). In most cases, that means union jobs. In return for creating HSDs, San Francisco is entitled to receive a "zoning incentive payment" from the state.
To qualify, individual projects must meet all of the following eligibility criteria:
Many of the central SOMA lots rezoned to allow residential or office have existing zoning limited to industrial uses known as Production Distribution and Repair (PDR). To insure the preservation of PDR space and the creation of new PDR space, the city will allocate $180 million in revenues over 25 years to the creation or preservation of PDR space, with the goal that there will be no new net loss of PDR.
Projects proposing at least 50,000 square feet of new office use will be required to include PDR in the project. The on-site amount required will be either 40% of the total lot area of the project or replacement space required under a pre-existing PDR replacement law known as Proposition X, whichever is greater. Alternatively, developers can provide the required onsite amount at an offsite location at 1.5 times the amount that would be required if built on-site.

How to Perform a Hard Reset on a Canon Printer
Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty Images
Canon is a popular name in the world of printers and scanners, and the products the company makes are widely used in both the home environment and the business world. For the most part, a well-maintained Canon printer will provide many years of trouble-free service.
But there are times operators will need to resolve problems. Often a hard reset of the printer will resolve issues with communication between the printer and the computer.
Turn off your computer and wait for it to shut down completely. Then, push the power button on the Canon printer off.
Remove the power cord from the back of the printer. After the power cord has been removed, remove the USB or parallel cable that runs from the printer to the computer. Remove the cable from both the printer and the computer.
Plug the USB or parallel cable in to the back of the printer. Make sure the cable is securely seated. Pull on the cable to make sure it is not loose. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer.
Turn the power button on the printer back on. Wait a few minutes for the printer to power up, then turn the computer back on.
Log on to the computer and click on the "Start" button. Choose "Control Panel" from the menu and select "Printers and Faxes." Double-click the Canon printer and click on the "Printer" menu. Select "Properties" from the menu and click the "Print Test Page" button to send a test page to the printer.

How to Convert VHS to DVD Using Panasonicby James Clark
Panasonic manufactures DVD/VCR combo units that are capable of recording either blank media discs or VHS tapes. A convenient one-touch dubbing feature makes it possible to copy VHS tapes automatically onto DVD. The tape begins playback and the DVD burner starts recording to the disc, which will finalize and eject when complete. Old VHS tapes, which become brittle with age, can be copied onto long-lasting DVDs without any of the additional steps associated with converting tape to disc in other ways, such as connecting a VCR to a computer.
Step 1
Insert a VHS tape into the front-loading compartment of the VCR on the Panasonic component. Advance or rewind the tape to the starting point for recording.
Step 2
Press the "Eject" button next to the DVD recorder tray, then place a blank DVD in the tray and close. The word "Start" will begin flashing on the LCD screen on the front of the unit.
Step 3
Press and hold the "DVD" button on the component until the "Start" message is no longer flashing. This will take about three seconds, according to the user manual for the Panasonic combo unit.
Step 4
Press the button labeled "Record" to begin dubbing the tape onto DVD. The button has a red circle in the center. The "Copy" status light will illuminate to the right of the "Record" button to show that copying is underway.
Remove the DVD form the media tray when it ejects on completion of the recording. The VHS cassette will also eject after rewinding automatically when it reaches the end.
- Some prerecorded VHS tapes may be encoded with copy protection which will block attempts to dub the contents to DVD.

San Antonio company wins military contract worth up to $176 million
San Antonio-based M7 Aerospace has been awarded a contract worth up to $176 million for maintenance work related to two military transport planes.
The contract was awarded by McLean, Virginia-based DynCorp International, a U.S. defense contractor. M7 Aerospace, itself a subsidiary of Fort Worth-based Elbit Systems of America, will perform work on the fleet of U.S. Army C-26 and UC-35 aircraft.
The contract starts with a one-year term worth up to $25 million that can be extended for five additional annual terms for a total amount of up to $176 million.
Chris Hickey, the general manager of sustainment and support solutions for Elbit Systems of America, said the San Antonio facility had already been the contractor for the Army's C-26 aircraft, a twin-engined propeller-driven airplane used for transport and other missions. The addition of the UC-35, a twin-engined jet airplane, meant M7 Aerospace had to add 70 people in San Antonio and took on another 100 employees in multiple other support locations.
"We basically do everything but fly the airplanes," Hickey said. "Routine maintenance, depot maintenance, day to day squawks, fueling, runup, all of that. We do everything but fly the airplane. The Army pilots come, they jump in the plane and go."
The additional hires brings M7 Aerospace's workforce in San Antonio to around 200, Hickey said.
M7 Aerospace was bought by Elbit Systems of America in 2010, which is itself a subsidiary of Israel-based Elbit Systems Limited.

3 Diversion from prosecution
3.1 The Procurator Fiscal may decide to refer cases to criminal justice social work in less serious cases where referral may prevent or deter further offences. In such cases, prosecution may be waived or a decision on prosecution deferred pending successful completion of the social work scheme.
3.2 The number of diversion from prosecution cases commenced fell by 14 per cent from 2,000 in 2016-17 to 1,700 in 2017-18 (Table 1). However, this fall marked a return to levels seen previously between 2013-14 and 2015-16, which were themselves substantially higher in prior years (see additional datasets which accompany this publication).
3.3 During 2017-18, there were 2,700 referrals, 2,500 assessments and 1,400 cases completed (Table 4).
3.4 Between 2016-17 and 2017-18, the number of cases commenced for 16 to 20 year olds increased, by 17 per cent, while numbers fell for all other age groups (Table 5). This pattern was the exact opposite to what happened between 2015-16 and 2016-17. Those aged 16 to 20 are substantially over-represented when the population base is taken into account - they accounted for 45 per cent of people getting diversion from prosecution in 2017-18 but only 8 per cent of the population aged 16 to 70. This continues to reflect a general focus on diversion for younger people.
3.5 In 2017-18, there were around 4.5 diversion from prosecution cases commenced per 10,000 population (Table 3). This was highest for those living in Dumfries & Galloway (15.1) and Shetland (11.8) and lowest for those living in Scottish Borders (0.8), West Dunbartonshire (0.8) and Glasgow City (1.4). Further information is provided in the additional datasets which accompany this publication.

I've been working with personal trainer and inspiring woman Colette for a week now, and we've come to the conclusion that my diet needs changing up. It seems I have a severe lack of protein, so we were chatting about how to add more to my diet. A quick Google search came up with several protein shake recipes, and I spent some time choosing ones I thought I'd like.
So, to Amazon. I bought the Breville Blend Active personal blender, which comes with two blend-and-go bottles. These are awesome! You put all your ingredients in the bottle, screw on the part with the blades, turn it upside down and place in the unit. Then blend, remove, replace the blades with a sports cap, and off you go! Very little mess, so easy.
I also got some measuring spoons that show the American cup system. If you're getting a lot of recipes online, these spoons will be worth their weight in gold! As for protein powder, I went for PhD diet whey protein powder in vanilla. Colette also recommended some almond butter, which is like peanut butter but, well, almonds. I got the Meridian natural crunchy version.
Thanks to Prime, it all turned up the next day, and I could get experimenting. I came up with a few recipes, tweaking some I found online to suit my tastes, and grabbed some supplies at the supermarket.
Note: the protein powder I use, while great, doesn't come with a scoop. So where it recommends 1 scoop (25g), I've been using a heaped tablespoon. Also, if I say 1 cup or 1/2 a cup, I'm using the American measurement. Sorry! (Get those measuring spoons!) I've also worked out the nutritional information to the best of my ability, so apologies for any errors.
First up, it's Blueberry Sunrise.
- 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 scoop/heaped tablespoon of protein powder
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 15g/1 tablespoon low fat Greek yoghurt
Nutritional Information
Calories: 202 Fat: 4.1g Protein: 11.5g Sugar: 19g Carbs: 28g
Makes: 1 serving (approx 400ml)
Combine all ingredient, blend until smooth. Ice cubes optional.
This is one of my favourites. Although it's a tad high in sugar & carbs, it's absolutely delicious, and blueberries are wonderful antioxidants. I'm going to try this out for a breakfast one day.
Then I tried the Berry Blast Smoothie.
- 1 1/2 cups frozen berries (I used Tesco Berry Smoothie frozen mix, but any would work fine)
- 1-2 cups water
- 1 scoop/heaped tablespoon of protein powder
- 1-2 ice cubes (optional)
Nutritional Information
Calories: 141 Fat: 2g Protein: 18g Sugar: 10g Carbs: 12g
Makes: 1 serving (approx 400ml)
Combine all ingredients & blend until smooth. I should say, since the fruit is frozen, it might get stuck together, especially if you use the same blender as I do, so just add more water and shake until they can be blended properly.
I really liked this smoothie, but it actually tastes better when left to sit for a couple of hours. The seeds and pips all move down to the bottom, making it less sour (and crunchy!). I'm going to make it the night before and take it to work one day for my lunch. I foolishly bought a pack of fruit with banana in, and added a couple of pieces to this smoothie, which overpowered it a little bit, so I'll avoid that in future. But if you like banana, add away! (I also forgot to take a picture of this one.)
Next up, the Iced Chocolate Espresso Protein Shake.
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, chilled
- 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (I used Options Belgian hot chocolate)
- 1 scoop/heaped tablespoon of protein powder
- 3 ice cubes
Nutritional Information
Calories: 125 Fat: 4g Protein: 18g Sugar: 2g Carbs: 4g
Makes: 1 serving (approx 300ml)
Once the coffee has cooled, combine all ingredients and blend well! You can add more ice cubes if you want. Oh, and if you prefer, you can cut the cocoa powder out and just use chocolate protein powder!
I feel like this would be perfect for summer. I usually take a cup of tea for my morning commute, but this may replace the tea during the warmer months! It's also just sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. I was worried I'd have to add sugar to it, but the cocoa powder and vanilla protein powder make it taste like a cake in a bottle, so it's also great as a snack. And it's low in calories, sugar, carbs, and fat, but high in protein!
Protein Smoothies: Worth it?
The short answer is: yes! Protein is a super important part of your diet, and this is a great, easy way to up your intake. Some recipes have heaps of sugar in them, so you have to be mindful of that, but others are nicely balanced. Ingredients can also be swapped out to suit your tastes – I detest bananas, so I'll just replace them with another fruit. And the best part is that you can just add a scoop of protein powder to your favourite smoothie, without having to come up with a brand new recipe! They're super easy to make, and there are so many choices, ensuring you'll never get bored.
I've got tons more recipes to try, which I'll post on this blog once I've given them a go. Do you have any favourite protein smoothies? Post your recipes below, or let me know if you tried one of mine!

ben A is up first with Signals, a driftaway late-night groover sporting analogue synth washes, birdcalls and sampled NASA Mission Control dialogue. Next, F Stop's Luna is an ominous slab of deep techno with a huge fat bassline, coming complete with a more ambient-leaning Omar Fayyed remix (there are beats though, so it's not an entirely ambient affair).
Detour from Mateous is the standout track of the EP for me, another late-night house groove with an obscenely large bottom end, and then Zach DeVincent closes the EP on a dancefloor high with Close To Me, a heads-down tech-house chugger with proggy overtones and a breathy female voice inviting you to do what the title says.

Is Mold Covered by My Insurance Company Here In Michigan?
Most Michigan Homeowners Insurance Policies do cover mold damage if it was caused by a "covered peril." Home insurance policies don't cover mold that resulted from a pre-loss condition such as a water leak, flooding, or high humidity from standing water.
Here is a list of home insurance's covered perils:
- Fire Damage
- Lightning, Tornado Or Wind Damage
- Theft
- Damage caused by vehicles
- Vandalism
- Falling Tree Limbs or Branches
- Ice Damming, snow, or sleet Damage
- Overflow of water or steam from plumbing, heating, air conditioners, sprinkler systems, or household appliances
- Frozen Burst Water Pipes
When Home Owners Insurance Will NOT Cover You For Mold Damage
If you don't have Mold Coverage, you can buy a separate endorsement that adds mold coverage to your policy. An added endorsement is when an insurance company adds additional coverage to a regular home insurance policy, for an additional fee.
Some home insurance policies provide a limited amount of coverage for Mold Claims. This is usually capping by the amount the insurer will pay. Most insurance companies offer $5,000 to start for Mold Clean-Up, and often excluding Mold Testing & Remediation.
How Do I File a Mold Damage Insurance Claim?
Just like any other home insurance claim, you want to contact your insurance company as soon as possible after discovering the Mold to file a Mold Claim. If you're not sure if your policy covers has Mold Damage coverage, simply check your home insurance policy or call your insurance agent.
Remember, Mold grows quickly so you want to stop the source of water entering your property and clean up the water before calling your insurance company. In your insurance policy you are required to be proactive in fixing any pre-existing problems and avoiding further damage.
Here are a few steps to take to prevent further Mold Growh:
- Stop any water leaks. You might need to shut off the water to your home at the main if you have a leaky pipe that wont stop leaking.
- Clean-Up water with a mop or shop vac or if their is too much for you to handle you can call a water restoration company that specializes in removing water and dry-outs
- Remove any wet contents such as old boxes, drywall and insulation, and any other materials that can collect water and become a breeding grounds for Mold Growth.
- You ant to use air movers (fans) and dehumidifiers to dry out the affected area.
Don't throw ANYTHING OUT until you call your insurance company. Take photos and keep the damaged materials UNTIL THE ADJUSTER COMES OUT.

The Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama remained isolated from the modern world for a long time. The villages are known for their Gassho-style houses. These steeply pitched thatched roofs are the only remaining examples of their kind in Japan.
The villages of Ogimachi, Ainokura and Suganuma in Japan preserve the ancient thatched roof treasures. Atop Gassho-style houses in the Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, we find rare examples of ancient thatching. Ogimachi in the Shirakawa-go region and Ainokura and Suganuma in the Gokayama region house these rare examples. See, it's hard to keep up on thatch preservation. The Gassho-style houses are ancient farmhouses that fit in with their geographical areas perfectly. The villagers cultivated mulberry trees and raised silkworms for centuries. The steep slopes of these roofs allowed the thatch to last longer. These farmers used roof pitches that helped reduce the need for maintenance in the wet climate.
Few Thatched Gassho-Style Houses Remain
Still, due to intense maintenance needs and changes in lifestyle, few thatched roof houses of this type remain. The villages first formed in the 11th century. The strong sense of community increased the chances of preservation for these amazing roofs. Collaboration efforts by village residents kept these thatched roofs in good shape. See, they used ancient Japanese restoration processes along the way. Still, major conservation work also helped preserve these houses with their amazing roofs. Conservation efforts control the use of new materials so that these houses retain their authenticity.
The 1950 Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties protects the houses further. The villages each classify as "an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings" under this law.

Valuing Financial Impact is part three of a four part series on optimizing corporate philanthropy.
In part one, we talked a little bit about the difficulty encountered when optimizing corporate philanthropy (which is just a single tactic in the overall CSR/ESG strategy.) In part two, we dug into how to value the social impact of corporate philanthropy from a corporate standpoint. But what about valuing financial impact: does corporate social performance result in positive corporate financial performance?
The long shadow of a magazine article
If you read a bunch of journal articles on CSR, you'll notice that much of the argument against it comes from a single citation:
Friedman, M. 1970.
That's Milton Friedman. Nobel Prize-winning economist and Chicago-school anti-Keynesian. Overall, a pretty smart dude. But digging into the full citation, we get:
Friedman, M. (1970, September 13). The social responsibility of business is to increase its profits. The New York Times Magazine.
Hang on. Is The New York Times Magazine a peer-reviewed journal, now? Yet, Google Scholar shows that this article has been cited 6,491 times.¹
In the article, Milton Friedman argues quite hyperbolically that managers of businesses should only engage in activities that benefit shareholders, and that social responsibility is a dangerous distraction.² He refers to CSR as "pure and unadulterated socialism" and its proponents as "unwitting puppets of the intellectual forces that have been undermining the basis of a free society these past decades." I'm guessing peer review might have blunted some of his rhetoric, and that this may have been the 1970's version of clickbait.
Later in the article he makes the exact distinction between strategic and non-strategic corporate philanthropy that Michael E. Porter and Mark R. Kramer would articulate in 2002.³ But it's written as such a tirade that most of those 6000+ citations miss the point and only parrot the headline.
As a result, there is a widespread belief that CSR does not benefit the bottom line.
Enter the academics
Many of those 6,491 citing articles are searching for the causal link between corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP). The results vary.
In the book People and Profits? by Margolis & Walsh, the authors review 80 studies in which CSP is seen as modifying CFP, and find 53% show a positive relationship, 24% show no relationship, 5% show a negative relationship, and 19% show a mixed relationship.
But, of course, there are complicating factors:
Nearly all of the studies used different measures for CSP, and many used different measures for CFP, so we could be comparing apples, oranges and bananas.
The studies themselves all focused on large companies, so it is possible that the causation arrow points the wrong way. In other words, perhaps good financial performance allows a company to engage in good social performance.
The original studies themselves were taken over a long period of time – from 1972 to 2002. Perhaps something has changed over those 30 years.
Enter the Internet
Eight years after People and Profits? came out, Pieter van Beurden and Tobias Gössling revisited the question in the Journal of Business Ethics. What they found is that regardless of the measures used for social performance, there was a positive correlation with financial performance if you use only studies completed after 1990.
Many things were changing around 1990, but one that makes intuitive sense is the rapid adoption of browser access to the internet (1994) and its astonishing effect on transparency. The concept of transparency comprises accountability, ethical action and trust, which are all things that sound a lot like corporate social practices.
In other words, we can close the debate on whether CSP affects CFP. Unless you literally live in the past.4
Valuing Financial Impact
Finally, the payoff. It's reasonably clear that if done right, CSP can positively affect CFP, but to what extent? If the significant social performance inputs are unknown, is it possible to optimize your financial impact?
Yep. I gave away the secret in part two, but since you've read this far, I'll give it to you again.
It's the x-axis on this graph: stakeholder interest. The more interested your stakeholders are in a particular topic, the better financial performance you're going to see. Too simplistic? How about an analogy:
Standard practice for increasing firm value is to innovate, generally via R&D. And popular thinking on innovation connects it directly to customer needs. The most promising innovations come from creating value for customers and then capturing some of that value.
CSR can be thought of simply as innovation derived from stakeholder needs. So the analogy would be, "The most promising CSR comes from creating value for stakeholders and then capturing some of that value."
The more important the stakeholder to the firm, the better. And the more stakeholder interest in the social topic, the better. Which gives us our formula for valuing the financial impact of corporate philanthropy.
Next up: Part 4 – Optimizing Corporate Philanthropy
¹ The most cited economics article published in 1970 has been cited 24,153 times.

Women's Bank's Myanmar project supports women's livelihood by saving and loan groups and training for entrepreneurship.
Saving and loan groups
Myanmar is a new project country for Women's Bank. After initial process of investigations, the aim of the project is to empower groups of women by achieving better income through training, small loans, saving and networking.
Post-catastrophe construction work will be a visible part in the first stage of the project.
The project is done in six chosen villages in Pyapon and Dedaye municipalities, where Finn Church Aid's longtime cooperation partner Lutheran World Federation (LWT) has been working since 2008. Projects' beneficiaries are 360 women in 360 households, which are organized in 18 women's groups. Each group has 20 members.
Myanmar has just recently opened up to foreign investors. Democracy is being developed, but despite the changes, the country's situation is unstable: it is uncertain whether the economic change brings change for the poor people at grass roots level. Women's education level is poor: in the year 2010, of over 25-year-old women, only 18 percent had education after primary school. Only 4 percent of the land's parliamentarians were women. Establishing women's groups and their action is a pilot in the land.
Projects situation
Project planning and reports are being done during 2014. Village planning committees are included in the projects' planning and in the training for community based economic principles.

What Makes a Good Solar Fuel
Renewable and green sources of energy are essential replacements for fossil fuel because of two reasons:
- Worldwide fossil fuel reserves are limited.
- While they are available, they give rise to greenhouse gas emissions thus threatening human life on earth.
Unfortunately, all renewable sources are intermittent. Their integration into the existing power network creates problems unless we can store the spare available energy in a quickly retrievable form. Further, electricity forms only about 30% of the total energy expense. The remaining 70 percent expense demands fuels, e.g. for transport sector. Therefore, solar fuels are important to us.
Parameters of a Good solar fuel
A good solar fuel will have the following characteristics.
- Low Ultimate Cost– the overall cost per unit of energy as used by the consumer must be low. This includes costs at all the various stages:
o Cost of feedstock
o Cost of renewable energy going in
o Cost of conversion
o Conversion efficiency
o Storage cost including cost of leakage, losses.
o Cost of transportation, if any
o Cost of recovery to energy
o Cost of losses during recovery.
- GHG Foot Print– Renewable sources like the sun, wind, sea, etc. are by themselves totally green. But when we want to convert them into another form, eg, solar to photovoltaic, the equipment and the processes used do have a green-house foot print because fossil fuel indirectly used. Similarly, storage of energy in any form will need some equipment and some processes, and hence, will have a carbon foot print. The same is true of energy recovery and utilization process. It is important therefore, that the process of generating a solar fuel, its storage, and re-utilization, must have a low carbon foot-print.
- Energy Efficiency– The two-way conversion process must be efficient. That means collection from the renewable source, generation of the fuel, storage, and recovery from the fuel should have the best overall energy efficiency.
- Energy Density-The generated solar fuel must not demand too much storage volume on a per Meg-Joule basis.
- Storage at or Near Ambient Pressure– Gases can be stored at normal pressure but need excessively large volumes. While compression can give lower volumes, special design will be needed for high pressure storage.
- Fast Recovery- We should be able to fast and easily. This is particularly important when integration with power generation network is required.
- Integration With the Existing Distribution Network– The fuel should be easily distributable through the existing distribution and utilization networks minimal adjustment and modifications. For example, if we are able to generate a solid fuel which can be distributed through the existing coal network that will be one advantage. A gas could be merged into the natural gas distribution. Thus, the form of solar fuel should pose minimal distribution problems.
Solar Fuel Feed-stock
Current research is directed towards preparation of solar fuel from two natural feed-stocks. These are water, and carbon. Both are abundantly available and inexpensive. Both have merits and demerits. It is still not clear whether any one technology will ultimately dominate, and which one. It is also possible that altogether different feedstocks may be identified in the future.

Q&A with Andrea Tao, NanoEngineering Professor
We sat down with professor Andrea Tao to discuss nanoengineering education, research and jobs. Tao's research is focused on fabricating functional nanostructure materials. Most recently, her research group developed a technique that enables metallic nanocrystals to self-assemble into larger, complex films and arrays for next-generation antennas and lenses. Much of Tao's work involves making materials using wet chemistry – which is a powerful approach because it provides fine-grained control when designing a material from scratch.
Andrea Tao joined the NanoEngineering faculty at the Jacobs School in 2009. She earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from UC Berkeley.
The Jacobs School conferred its first crop of undergraduate degrees in nanoengineering this June. NanoEngineering, the first department of its kind, was established in 2007 and offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in nanoengineering and chemical engineering. The department plans to introduce a new undergraduate materials engineering degree in 2014.
How would you describe the NanoEngineering curriculum?
We teach core classes such as chemistry, biology and physics from a nanomaterials perspective. For example, I teach a class on the chemical principles of nanoengineering in which we look at things such as how the atoms in carbon nanotubes or graphene bond together to form their special nanoscale structures. Students need to understand how the properties of a nanotube or sheet of graphene come from atomic-scale bonding. Our students spend a lot of time studying the properties of nanomaterials and how to interface materials at the nanoscale. Our curriculum is designed so that students will have a very good understanding – both from classical study and hands-on lab research – of how to control and tune those properties to change the material. In our senior design lab, students have to synthesize nanoscale particles, wires and films and incorporate them into a device. They also learn how hard it is to work with nanomaterials. You really have to understand how chemical processes behave on the nanoscale in order to change them.
Chemical engineering is part of the NanoEngineering Department. What kinds of synergies do you see between the two disciplines?
Chemical engineering involves getting processes to work over large macroscopic scales – the scale of industrial-level manufacturing. It's figuring out how to take a vat of this chemical and mix it with a vat of that chemical. What are the processes that control how I'm going to manipulate chemical reactions at realistic industrial scales? As nanoengineers, we will eventually be interested in how to manufacture nanomaterials on industrial scales, so there's a lot of synergy between the two. But before we get to that point, nanoengineers work as materials scientists at the atomic level in order to manipulate a given nanomaterial or nanoscale process.
What careers are NanoEngineering students prepared for?
Many companies have products based on nanomaterial technologies. Screens on Kindles, iPhones and other devices operate using nanoparticles and electronic inks. Nanoengineering has applications in every field including medicine and energy production. Even some amber and green beer bottles keep carbon dioxide from leeching out thanks to nanotechnology and materials. It's an enabling technology that allows us to make better materials for pretty much anything. I think our nanoengineering students will be highly creative in the workplace or research lab, in part because we've created an interdisciplinary curriculum including hands-on work rooted in faculty research. Our students are also highly competitive for a variety of master's programs that often lead to industry jobs. They receive a solid foundation in all the core sciences and have extensive experience manipulating materials on the nanoscale. Many companies may not even realize they need employees who are trained in nanoengineering, but you'll see these skill sets in job descriptions if not in the actual job titles. It's just that companies often don't use the term "nanoengineering." But that is starting to change. I don't think we're too far off from having a job listing that says "looking for a nanoengineer."

July 5, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
9th March 2016 by John Lappin
It's really been a case of doing the hokey cokey on pensions tax relief. Last week, reliefs were going, this week, they are not. Pension investors' heads must be spinning.
Variously since last year's consultation paper, we have seen the government discuss equalising the reliefs for example at or around 30% which would have increased incentives to lower middle income earners, but cut them to the better off paying higher tax rates with the majority losing 10 per cent. For additional rate tax payers, the picture is already very complicated and restrictive.
Such an equalised system was even dubbed a savers' bonus by the pension industry's biggest trade body the Association of British Insurers as it supported this type of reform arguing it was fairer. Yet the devil might have been not just in the detail but in the term i.e. matching might only be up to a certain level of contribution and therefore less generous than the tax relief.
Then we learned that the government was actually favouring either a radical paring back of reliefs to 20% across the board or doing away with them altogether. It would, at a stroke, have furnished a huge amount of cash to help close up that government spending deficit.
The more extreme option would have meant no relief on the way into a pension, but no tax when you finally took the pension and this was dubbed a pension ISA, something government sources suggested everyone could understand.
The pension industry went rather apoplectic about this final idea. Remember the smart money was this happening only a fortnight ago. One expert said there would be Northern Rock-style run on pension providers if it happened. The ABI, as we noted a fan of some degree of reform, said that the government would be creating a long term annual bill i.e. an annual deficit of £5bn a year. No the threat has been lifted for now.
So what should you do as a wise pension investor? Well, if you have a good financial adviser or invest in a decent self select investment platform no doubt you would have been warned about the risk to reliefs and been urged to consider using them.
You will also know that a risk remains to lifetime and annual allowances and maybe some clampdown on tax free cash. You may also begin to worry that the pension industry is crying wolf and yet, to my mind, this would be very unfair. The direction is clear. Reliefs, tax free cash, lifetime limits and more are all in play in these difficult financial times.
A really radical reform may have been postponed, partly because other reforms are only just bedding in such as the big workplace pension system rolling out to millions of small employers and their employees this year and next.
Ultimately, for all the briefings, we can't predict what happens when the Treasury needs revenue, when new simpler pension systems have an superficial appeal nor indeed do we really know how powerful the pension lobby is.
It is, in case you haven't noticed, also an intensely political time. The Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne may have put off a decision for very non pension reasons, such as the need to assuage backbench concerns and shore up support for the government (and for himself) in the midst of a European referendum.
These are big, broad issues. But for smart investors, who can't spend their valuable time reading between the lines, or working out which 'briefing' to trust, we suggest you make use of whatever reliefs you can afford – certainly if that fits with your long term goals and your short term finances. After all, in most cases you can now get that money back at age 55. You need to be smart about your finances. But is this a smart way to run a pension system? Answer: No.

Curried Coconut Butternut Squash Soup is full of the warm flavors of curry, turmeric, coriander and cumin paired with ginger, butternut squash and coconut milk to make a healthy, flavor filled soup.
Curried Coconut Butternut Squash Soup
Have I told you about my addiction to soup? Those that know me well already know my love. I love so many things about soup: they are versatile and can be changed every time you make them and still taste great, they can be very healthy for you (especially when you are fighting a cold), they warm you up on those cold winter days and they pair well with a main dish or a big, healthy salad.
Today's soup, Curried Coconut Butternut Squash Soup, has quickly become one of my new favorites along with this Moroccan Red Lentil Soup which I fell in love with last year. Both of these soups have rich, warm spices in them that really warms you up during the cold winter months. When I eat a bowl of this soup I feel satisfied and cozy…like I should be all snuggled up with a wool blanket in an English cottage with a warm fire and big bowl of this soup. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?
Curried Coconut Butternut Squash Soup mixes cumin, coriander, turmeric and curry powder along with coconut milk to give it a little bit of a sweet flavor to complement the rich spices. I garnished mine with cilantro and a little bit of crème fraiche but feel free to use things like yogurt, sour cream, croutons, parsley, breadcrumbs or a big chunk of crusty bread to dip in the soup.Print

The figures for Cersaie confirm the show's status as the key international event for the ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings sectors. There were 75,563 unique visitors ('first admissions') and 106,846 'presences'. International visitors accounted for an impressive 32% of the total, a new record for the show.
This important overall result was made possible by increasingly close cooperation with Bologna Fiere. The 30th anniversary of the show was celebrated on Wednesday 26 September at an evening event in the Teatro Comunale di Bologna along with a charity initiative in aid of the areas affected by the earthquake. There was also a strong media presence with a total of 675 journalists, including 258 from outside Italy (+4%).
The cultural events in the 'Building Dwelling Thinking' programme proved extremely popular, particularly the keynote lecture given by Pritzker prize winner Eduardo Souto de Moura which was attended by an audience of more than 1,300 people.
Likewise the new initiatives specially launched for the 2012 edition: 'Tiling City' – an event that hosted the world tiling champion and several Italian building schools – and 'Cersaie designs your home', an initiative organised by Edi.Cer. spa in cooperation with around fifteen leading Italian interior design magazines with the aim of offering private consumers free consulting on renovating their homes and choosing materials.
This year's After Show programme featured numerous initiatives, including the official opening of an exhibition of works by Souto de Moura in the National Art Gallery (Pinacoteca) of Bologna and the initiative 'Bologna Water Design', which from its headquarters at the Ospedale dei Bastardini succeeded in attracting Cersaie visitors and Bologna residents to the cultural events held on each day of the show, including installations by designers such as Michele de Lucchi and Diego Grandi and a strongly attended conference given by Philippe Daverio.
Next year's Cersaie will be held in Bologna from 24 to 28 September 2013.
