A chance to build the future of this city. The NYC has a strong government of the mayoral council type. New York City Council's Progressive Caucus found that the public transport fleet and urban fleets could use renewable natural gas to support air pollution targets. Mayor of New York City, Michael R. Bloomberg.
Team of New York City officials.
New York City's New York City Government, based at New York City Hall in Lower Manhattan, is organised as part of the New York City Charter and provides for a "strong" mayoral counsel system. It is the four-year election of the major, who is in charge of the city government. New York City is a one-chamber system with 51 members, who are generally selected from a geographical area for four years.
2 ] The judicial system comprises two city tribunals and three state tribunals. The New York City policy map is one-of-a-kind and comprises five districts, each linked to one of five New York State counties: We have Brooklyn ist Kings County, die Bronx ist Bronx County, Manhattan ist New York County, Queens ist Queens County und Staten Island ist Richmond County.
In 1898, when New York City was consolidating in its present shape, all former city and borough government was eliminated in favour of today's five districts and a single, centralised city government. 5 ] However, each ward maintains its own precinct prosecutor to pursue crime, and most of the judicial system is organised around the districts.
New York City's law enforcement body is made up of the mayor and a number of divisions, bodies and committees. Mayor also designates several vice majors as central administrations within the city government administration. City Record is the public magazine released every day of the week (except public holidays) and contains juridical information from the municipalities and the provisions are set out in the City of New York bylaws.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Major shall appoint and remove all non-elected officials and shall exert all authority to which the City is entitled, and shall be accountable for the efficiency and probity of the affairs of government of the City. It is also the responsibility of the town' s head of administration and budgets, which is presented to the Council for adoption rather than preparation.
In addition to the Lord Major, the Public Advocate and the Comptroller are the only three directly-elected officials in New York City. Appointed by the 51 council members, the council spokesman is often regarded as the second strongest office in the New York City government after the city' s major. It has the same legal state as a New York State Legislature Act (subject to certain exemptions and restrictions) and is better than older types of communal laws such as decrees, motions, rules or provisions.
New York City Code of Administrative Procedure contains the encoded New York City Law. It has several commissions that oversee various municipal administration tasks. New York City's state judicial system has two city-wide tribunals, the Criminal and Civil Tribunals, as well as several national tribunals, the Supreme Courthouse, the Surrogate's court and the Family Tribunal.
Other than the rest of New York, New York City counties do not have a typical county dish. Every state courthouse is in each of the five districts of New York City. Many extra-judicial administration tribunals also exist, which are law enforcement bodies and not part of the uniform state judicial system.
There' re several other district dishes. Of the Supreme Tribunal of the State of New York is the general tribunal which in New York City hear crime cases and large civilian proceedings. 28 ] (Smaller penal and civilian cases are tried before the Tribunal or the civilian tribunal.
It is a New York District Courthouse that handles cases with young and old. 29 ] The Surrogate's Court of the State of New York is the testamentary tribunal that supervises the opening of the will and trustees. Several extra-judicial administration tribunals also exist.
Unless otherwise provided for by regulation, rules, legislation or labour contracts, the Office of Administrative Procedure and Hearings shall decide on the affairs of all municipal authorities. It is the Department of Finance Adjudication Division (Parking VIII ations Bureau) that decides on park offences, and the Tax Appeals Tribunal decides on any dispute regarding the city' s tax administration, except for property valuation rights, which are decided by the City Tax Commission.
This means that each of them has a state commission and allows them to organise it. 42 ] The Circle Boards shall consist of at least two members from each constituency (with a total of 950-1150 members registered). 45 ] The regional leaders of the various factions usually choose nominees for municipal office, who are approved by the entire regional councils.
There are many small factions that do not have district councils and nominate nominees at national levels. Court-appointment agreements of the governing bodies choose the judges of the Supreme Court of New York. 46 ] The nominees for the city-wide office of burgomaster, accountant and lawyer are determined by the five district councils of each group.
Brooklyn and Queens libraries are community libraries within their area. New York PUBL is a government funded non-government privately owned and operated libraries in the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island. 48 ] The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) provides low and middle-income citizens with access to publicly funded residential space.
The NYC Health + Hospital (New York City Health and Hospital Corp. or HHC) runs government health care facilities and clinical centers. New York City Business Agency is the New York City Business Agency (NYCEDC). Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) administers the city' s urban transport, through its branch the New York City Transit Authority.
In spite of this name, the NYCTA, like the remainder of the MTA, was founded by the New York State Legislature as a non-profit organization controlled by the legislator and the New York legislator. MTA also runs the Staten Island Railway within the city of New York as well as the Long Island Rail Road and the Metro-North Railroad, both of which have commuting routes in the city of Terminina, but operate mainly in the suburbs of New York State and Connecticut.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey provides other local transport services, which include the New York City to New Jersey bridge and tunnel services and all of the city's major international air and sea ports. and the Governor of New York.

You're probably a pretty busy guy. You don't always have time to go to the gym, wait in line for a machine, or shop for a protein shake. And you're probably always looking for a workout you can do in your basement or hotel room before you hit the office. So today, we're focusing on a quick, 20-to-30 minute workout that'll burn off your breakfast and leave you enough time to grab coffee.
Let Austin Cagely of Barry's Bootcamp explain in the video above. "We're going to take you through an 'EMOM' set, which is Every Minute On the Minute," he says. All you need is a pair of dumbbells.
For your first minute (let's call it Minute A), you're going to focus on your legs. Hit 10 squats holding the weights in your hands in a neutral grip. Then it's immediately onto 10 jump squats (weights down, please). Finish your minute with 10 pulses—like little squats, closer to the ground. "If you finish that within the minute, you get time to recover," says Cagely.
If not, well, too bad. Minute B consists of upper body strength: 10 curls with the dumbbells into 10 shoulder presses, and then 10 overhead extensions. This workout really does work your whole body.
Minute C is, we're sorry to report, burpees. A lot of burpees. Once you're done, go back to minute A and repeat the whole sequence for seven to 10 rounds—21 to 30 minutes. That should leave you with enough time to pack a lunch or two.

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967 in London. Due to numerous line-up changes, the only original member present in the band is its eponymous drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Despite band founder Peter Green naming the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bassist John McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, who joined the band in 1970 while married to John McVie, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House. more »

SPRINGDALE, Ark. —
Springdale police Officer Patrick Olcott was being called a hero Saturday after saving a woman whose car was swept off a road and into a fast-moving creek.
Olcott said he sprang into action to rescue the woman, putting his own life at risk.
Watch the story
"It was a good feeling when I found her," Olcott said.
Olcott said the woman was driving in front of him on Puppy Creek Road when her vehicle was swept into the water.
"Her vehicle was in the northbound side at this point, getting swept in by the water. Her vehicle turned around, and then she went over the side of the bridge," Olcott said.
Olcott quickly ran into the woods along the creek to catch up with her. He said he didn't see the woman get out of her car.
"I went tree to tree the whole time. I didn't have anything else to grab on with," Olcott said.
Using his flashlight and lights from a fire truck, he was able to see his way through the dark.
"I was about knee-high in water at that point," Olcott said.
Olcott said the woman yelled out to him after somehow escaping from her car.
"We just kept yelling back and forth to each other until I got to her," Olcott said.
Olcott used his baton to fish the woman out of the water.
"She was up to about her waist in water. She was holding onto an oak tree, and I was about up to my waist on higher ground," Olcott said.
Olcott said he last saw the woman in the back of an ambulance.
"I wanted to check on her to make sure she was OK and she just gave me the biggest bear hug for a good couple of minutes," Olcott said.
The woman's family was also thankful.
"I just want to say thank you," a family member said.
Olcott said the woman is home from the hospital and doing OK.
Police were able to locate her car Saturday evening.
Officials with the Springdale Street Department said Puppy Creek Road has been closed. They said the bridge may have been damaged during the storm.
Crews will be out Monday to remove the debris and take a closer look at the bridge.

Cake's Presidential Quickies: Millard Fillmore
By ventboys on May 23, 2020 • ( 1 )
Today's featured Chief is Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States. Fillmore was a congressman from New York State when he was chosen to be Zachary Taylor's running mate.
Fillmore was chosen because he had actual positions on issues, which distinguished him from Taylor, who had no public positions on anything.
But Taylor was by God the hero of the Mexican War and had a cool nickname ("Old Rough and Ready"), which in those days was enough to get you elected president.
This is different from today, when being a third-rate reality TV star and a failed real-estate developer is enough to get you elected President.
Anyway, Taylor died sixteen months into his term (supposedly of cholera, but Ye Olde Infowars has claimed for the last 170 years that he was poisoned) and Fillmore ascended to the presidency, ushering in the age of Presidents with Stupid First Names (he was followed by Abraham, Ulysses, Rutherford and Grover).
Fillmore actually wasn't a bad president; he signed the Compromise of 1850, which delayed the Civil War by ten years, and signed several bills to improve rail and water transport throughout the nation.
One thing he did NOT do, though, was install a bathtub in the White House. That story is a hoax. Presidents DID bathe before (and after, presumably) Fillmore.
Fillmore's biggest historical distinction is that he was the last President who was not either a Democrat or a Republican; he was a Whig.
Whigs were kind of the progressives of their day — big-government types — favoring federal construction of roads and canals and such. They were quite popular in the first half of the 19th century, electing three Presidents. You hardly see them around anymore, though.

Q: jQuery: selecting each td in a tr I need a way to interact with each td element in a tr.
To elaborate, I would like to access the first table row, then the first column, then the second column, etc. Then move onto the second row and repeat the process.
Something like this (pseudo-code):
for each row in table
{
  for each column in row
  {
    do cool things
  }
}

jQuery:
$('#tblNewAttendees tr').each(function() {
  alert('tr');
  //Cool jquery magic that lets me iterate over all the td only in this row
  $(magicSelector).each(function(){
    alert('hi');
  });

});

HTML:

          someHeader

               want to grab this first
                this second

               this third
               this fourth

A: expanding on the answer above the 'each' function will return you the table-cell html object.  wrapping that in $() will then allow you to perform jquery actions on it.
$(this).find('td').each (function( column, td) {
  $(td).blah
});

A: You don't need a jQuery selector at all. You already have a reference to the cells in each row via the cells property.
$('#tblNewAttendees tr').each(function() {

    $.each(this.cells, function(){
        alert('hi');
    });

});

It is far more efficient to utilize a collection that you already have, than to create a new collection via DOM selection.
Here I've used the jQuery.each()(docs) method which is just a generic method for iteration and enumeration.

A: You can simply do the following inside your TR loop:
$(this).find('td').each (function() {
  // do your cool stuff
});

A: Your $(magicSelector) could be $('td', this).  This will grab all td that are children of this, which in your case is each tr.  This is the same as doing $(this).find('td').
$('td', this).each(function() {
// Logic
});

A: Fully example to demonstrate how jQuery query all data in HTML table.
Assume there is a table like the following in your HTML code.

      title 0
      title 1
      title 2

      row 0 td 0
      row 0 td 1
      row 0 td 2

      row 1 td 0
      row 1 td 1
      row 1 td 2

      row 2 td 0
      row 2 td 1
      row 2 td 2

 ...

 ...

    ...

 ...

      row n td 0
      row n td 1
      row n td 2

Then, The Answer, the code to print all row all column, should like this
$('#someTable tbody tr').each( (tr_idx,tr) => {
    $(tr).children('td').each( (td_idx, td) => {
        console.log( '[' +tr_idx+ ',' +td_idx+ '] => ' + $(td).text());
    });
});

After running the code, the result will show
[0,0] => row 0 td 0
[0,1] => row 0 td 1
[0,2] => row 0 td 2
[1,0] => row 1 td 0
[1,1] => row 1 td 1
[1,2] => row 1 td 2
[2,0] => row 2 td 0
[2,1] => row 2 td 1
[2,2] => row 2 td 2
...
[n,0] => row n td 0
[n,1] => row n td 1
[n,2] => row n td 2

Summary.
In the code,
tr_idx is the row index start from 0.
td_idx is the column index start from 0.
From this double-loop code,
you can get all loop-index and data in each td cell after comparing the Answer's source code and the output result.

A: $('#tblNewAttendees tbody tr).each((index, tr)=> {
        //console.log(tr);
        $(tr).children('td').each ((index, td) => {
            console.log(td);

        });

    });

You can use this tr and td parameter also.

It remains an antivirus Editors' Choice. Bottom Line: The premium edition of Malwarebytes for Mac scans for active malware and uses real-time detection to prevent infestation. Editors' Note: We are aware of the allegations of Kaspersky Labs' inappropriate ties to the Russian government. Discarding any that don't fit the phishing profile, and any that don't load correctly in all four browsers, we report the product's success as the average of the difference between its detection rate and that of the other four test systems. It protects Mac against viruses, malware, worms and more. Scans for malware on demand, on access, and on schedule. Firewall's application control generates many pop-ups.
Recommended is chosen by the webmaster, we receive advertising revenue from some antivirus providers and this impacts the recommended order which the webmaster chooses. The wily malefactors who create phishing sites are in the business of deception, and they constantly change and update their techniques, hoping to evade detection. Which is the virus scanner for mac os x? There is a popular opinion that Mac systems are inherently more secure than Windows. A quick free malware scan of your system is not enought to fully stop Malware, and you need a product that offers a more severe service. It's worth noting that, while phishing is platform-independent, phishing defense may not be.
Malwarebytes and ProtectWorks also lack an antiphishing component. . Licensing model not practical for all-Mac households. It destroys malware for both Windows and Mac because malware for Windows cannot destroy your Mac but it can travel through emails or messages and can harm Windows computer of your friends which makes it the best Mac anti-malware software. Further, it offers effective security from latest malware threats with the up-to-date database. Even Macs Need Antivirus Protection Nobody denies the fact that malware coders prefer attacking Windows systems, with Android a close second. Further, it offers proactive security from new and developing viruses.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware destroys adware on your computer. It is also having internet security which keep you protected online. It can clean up your system within a minute. It includes repairing broken internet. As good as the software is, while using Avast, you should be ready for a little bit of performance dip, at least, that is my experience while using Avast. Ransomware and data-stealing Trojans are much more common, as are bots that let the bot-herder rent out your computer for nefarious purposes.
No wonder Macs are not immune to these cyber threats. Software has flaws, and sometimes those flaws affect your security. With a paid program, you don't get peppered with pop-up ads asking you to upgrade from the free version, Fisco says. Panda Another in the list of our best anti-malware for Mac is Panda. First full scan unusually slow.
It includes log files, extensions, programs, preferences etc. It even helps you protect your backup with smart features. Imagine some creeper secretly peeking at you through your Mac's webcam! If one fraudulent site gets blacklisted or shut down by the authorities, they simply pop up with a new one. Some nonstandard commercial antivirus utilities proved effective enough to earn an excellent four-star rating alongside their more traditional counterparts. Although this list is all about free Mac antivirus, Avira deserves a mention for its commercial Avira Antivirus Pro 2018.
As default we list antivirus providers by recommended. While searching for malicious content it looks and analyzes all suspicious behavior and activities of files and programs. As an anti-malware app, though, it's very good. Mainly because that depends on a variety of factors like the number of Mac users, how they use their system, how computer literate they are, etc. This lab, too, included a test using malware aimed at Windows. Bitdefender and Webroot in particular scored hugely higher against some browsers; perhaps the browsers were having a bad day. Simply put, if you need a full-fledged software that can do much more than blocking and removing malware then give Bitdefender a try.
Scores in the Windows malware test ranged from zero to 100 percent, which is quite a span. If , one of the ten products in the chart above should take care of the problem. Because its user interface is not much clear. It comes with real-time protection that scans your downloads and installs every time you access them. Most of the products in this roundup beat the combined average of the three browsers. Scores poorly in tests designed for traditional antivirus.
It helps you block all dangerous websites to avoid possible data loss. It removes adware in a very short time. Cons: Advanced protection systems are difficult to test. The information is strictly for research and informational purposes only. Avast Security for Mac — Source: Cnet Conclusion Anti-malware software tools can help you protect your Mac significantly. It uses advanced real-time threat intelligence technology to protect your system from all existing and latest virus threats.

Whakapapa
Posted on November 13, 2021 by kathy
Tongariro National Park was a scenic forty minute drive from our haven at Motuoapa Bay. New Zealand's first national park, Tongariro was gifted to the people by Te Heuheu Tukino IV, the Paramount Chief of local Māori tribe Ngati Tuwharetoa, in September 1887. The 80,000 hectare park is centred around three sacred volcanic peaks. A lookout on the way to our destination, Whakapapa Village, rewarded us with views of Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe, the latter (on the right) may be recognised by The Lord of the Rings fans as Mount Doom.
From this height, the sweeping panorama across the Central Plateau was spectacular.
We parked the car at the village and considered our options, deciding on the Sky Waka gondola ride and buffet lunch combo. Mount Ruapehu is the centrepiece of the national park, the North Island's highest peak is home to the largest ski field in New Zealand. The terrain in March is quite different to that during ski season, it is hard to imagine the Rock Garden Chairlift conveying skiers on the advanced beginners run.
The $25 million Sky Waka gondola opened in July 2019 to transport 2,400 people an hour, a distance of 1.8km, up the northern slopes of Mount Ruapehu. It really didn't feel as though we were travelling at 6 metres per second.
Back to The Lord of the Rings, scenes of Mordor were filmed on the rugged landscape of Whakapapa ski field and the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, including the scene where Isildur cuts off Sauron's finger.
Our ride culminated at Knoll Ridge Chalet, a multi-storey eatery built in 2009 to replace the original café that was destroyed by fire earlier in the year.
The magnificent Pinnacles Ridge was shrouded in cloud when we arrived and it was a bit cool for alfresco dining.
The Pinnacles Restaurant was warm and welcoming, the extensive use of timber created the feeling of a traditional mountain chalet.
Lunch at the highest restaurant in New Zealand, at 2,020 metres above sea level, was delicious.
Mount Ruapehu is the largest active volcano in New Zealand and has three major peaks. There is a beautiful carving representing Paretetaitonga, the peak that wards off the southern winds.
By the time we finished lunch, the clouds had lifted from Pinnacles Ridge
and Sky Waka was the only way down
with more stupendous scenery to absorb.

Home News Economy Iran's Inconsistent Prospects for Economic Cooperation
Iran's Inconsistent Prospects for Economic Cooperation
Naturally, that re-engagement has been particularly pronounced among nearby trading partners and countries with which Iran has had traditionally cooperative relations. While Iran sanctions remained in place, Russia was reportedly a frequent partner in circumventing those restrictions. Since the conclusion of nuclear negotiations, the two partners have openly boasted of expanded cooperation not only in non-illicit economic areas, but also with respect to political and defensive strategies.
It is no surprise, then, that the Russian transport company FESCO began running a direct service between Russian and Iranian ports on March 13. That service will handle the import and export of various commodities, presumably including some oil and gas, in a five-day time span. And the operations are set to expand in the near future, in line with the continued Russian exploitation of a post-sanctions Iranian business environment.
Recent reports have indicated that Iranian shipping companies also resumed some operations with Western European companies, but the recovery of these interactions has been notably slower, in large part because international banks and other Western-based businesses remain extremely wary of transactions with Iran, owing to the persistence of some US-led sanctions and the possibility of new sanctions being imposed if Iranian-Western relations begin to degrade again.
Of course, some Western businesses quickly moved to reenter the Iranian market virtually as soon as sanctions were removed. Others have been exploring possibilities to be pursued when the investment situation seems more stable. For instance, Trend reported on Friday that the French company Total had recently signed a non-disclosure agreement with the Islamic Republic, clearing the way for exploration of Iran's South Azadegan oil field.
That field currently produces oil at a rate of 30,000 barrels per day, but the country's Oil Ministry is eyeing an increase to a rate of 320,000 barrels per day over the next few years, with the help of an anticipated 5 billion dollars of foreign investment. This is a small part of the country's overall plan to secure as much as 500 billion dollars in investment and to more than double current nationwide oil output, which is reported to be around 2.2 million barrels per day.
However, Iran has fallen short of a number of its prior projections and has struggled to secure investment from Western European and North American entities. In an apparent commentary upon this situation, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei used the Iranian New Year celebration of Nowruz last weekend to accuse the US of "aggression" in the form of pressure upon international banks to avoid transactions with the Islamic Republic.
But various reports have suggested that the wariness of those institutions is a response less to American aggression and more to Iranian provocations, which contribute to the perception that the rapprochement between the two countries may be short-lived. For instance, Reuters indicated on Friday that oil exports from Iran to Western Europe had gradually picked up speed over the past few months, but had also been severely held back by factors that are exacerbated by the Iranian government's failure to cooperate with foreign nations, both European and Middle Eastern.
The report emphasized that oil storage was becoming a serious obstacle to Iran's exports. This is in part because Iranian oil companies are still unable to gain access to an oil terminal called Sidi Kerir, which is collectively owned by Egypt, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Presumably, Iran's chances of regaining access are diminished by its ongoing rivalry with the Gulf Arab states, especially Saudi Arabia.
The Iranians and Saudis are engaged in a proxy war in Yemen, as part of a larger contest for regional influence, and public opinion arguably turned against the Iranians early this year when the Saudi embassy and consulate in Tehran and Mashhad were sacked and burned. Iran has also refused to participate in an agreement amongst several OPEC and non-OPEC states to freeze oil production and stabilize prices. Iranian officials have cited a desire to reclaim lost market share, but the lack of cooperation may spur rivals to push back against this effort.
The ongoing rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia could also threaten Iran's expansion of economic relations with other regional countries. For instance, on Friday, KSL reported upon Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's visit to Pakistan, and it pointed out that Pakistan is very much the target of a tug-of-war between the Iranians and the Saudis, possibly undermining Rouhani's vow to make Islamic cooperation a near-term priority for his administration.
But these circumstances are incidental to Iran's economic relationships with the West, but they do arguably contribute to the perception of Iran as an unstable, even combative actor on the world economic stage. More important to the issue of European investment, however, is Reuters' observation that the Islamic Republic has so far refused to "sweeten the terms" of export agreements in order to encourage Europeans to take more Iranian oil.
Prior to implementation of the July 14 nuclear agreement, there was considerable discussion about whether regime institutions like the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps would use oil contracts to actively discourage foreign investments that might threaten their own control over the Iranian economy.
Of course, unfavorable contract details are less demonstrative of aggression that recent hot-button issues of Iranian behavior, including the March 8 and 9 tests of three ballistic missiles, in defiance of a UN resolution calling upon Iran to avoid work on weapons capable of delivering nuclear warheads. In addition to showcasing Iran's disinterest in cooperating with such international resolutions, these issues also increase the danger to foreign investors, as evidenced by new embargos enacted on two Iranian businesses by the US, in response to the tests.
This in term has reinforced the perception of Iran's political instability, insofar as it has prompted additional defiant commentary from Iranian officials. For instance, Investment Underground reported on Friday that Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hossein Jaber Ansari had referred to the embargos as a "meddlesome USA measure" and said that the Islamic Republic would respond by further ramping up its ballistic missile program, in line with a recent order by President Rouhani.

22 octobre 2021 Finance durable
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gave the world a stark warning in 2018 of the dangers of failing to limit the global temperature rise from climate change to 1.5 degrees. This year has seen some of the physical impacts of climate change emerge even sooner than many scientists had predicted – including deadly flooding in Europe and China, and the North American 'heat dome' that triggered widespread wildfires.
In the run-up to the rescheduled COP26 climate negotiations, we have seen momentum gather behind the ambition of 'net zero' greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, consistent with a 1.5 degree trajectory. Over 3,000 businesses are now committed, as well as many of the world's major governments. The investor community Overview has joined the push, via initiatives including the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative – which BMO Global Asset Management supported as a founder signatory – and the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance.
We have been working on how to fulfil our commitment, and contributing to industry knowledge on net zero investing, particularly through co-chairing the Implementation Working Group for the Net Zero Investment Framework. We have also been discussing our progress with clients, as the net zero journey needs to be a partnership between asset owners and managers. Reaching net zero is critically important, but it is not easy. Here we set out five challenges we have identified so far as we move from commitment to implementation.
Challenge 1: Selecting a methodology
There is no single 'net zero investing' methodology. Several approaches have been developed by different groups. In our view, this is a healthy reflection of innovative activity on an issue that has emerged incredibly rapidly, almost from a standing start barely a year ago – but it does create the potential for confusion.
Approaches include:
The Net Zero Investment Framework, part of the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative
The Asset Owner Alliance Target-Setting Protocol, developed by the UN convened Asset Owner Alliance
The Science-based Targets Initiative, which has a methodology for financial institutions
The EU Paris-Aligned and Transition Benchmarks
A variety of commercial methodologies from ESG data providers
Most recently, a consultation paper on portfolio alignment from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures
Our own approach is based on the Net Zero Investment Framework, which we helped to develop. It is worth noting, though, that there are many common elements between the approaches mentioned above.
In March 2021, we set out our principles for net zero investing. One of these was around transparency. We have therefore been cautious, so far, of temperature alignment portfolio measures. Whilst robust in theory, temperature alignment metrics can in practice can be a 'black box', with multiple assumptions driving the outcome, which are not easy to unpick and understand. Our preference is for a dashboard approach, providing multiple metrics, which can better capture the inherent complexity of the net zero transition.
Challenge 2: Avoiding perverse incentives
A concern with emissions targets of any kind is that they can encourage decisions that are aimed just at meeting the target, rather than achieving real-world emissions reductions. This risk exists both for companies and for investors.
Through our engagement we have spoken to several companies who, conscious of the intense investor focus on climate change, are wrestling with the choice of whether to invest in carbon reduction technologies for their high-emissions activities – or whether to divest them, which would immediately improve their emissions profile, but result in those emissions transferring to another owner, who might not be as ethically minded or not as transparent (for instance, by going private).
A similar dilemma could present itself to a fund manager with a portfolio-level emissions target to meet. A simple sector reallocation from, say, electric utilities to service industries could achieve the target at the push of a button. But engaging those electric utilities to cut their emissions, and achieving the portfolio target as these cuts are implemented, would have a greater positive impact on the climate.
The answer to this dilemma lies, in part, in what metrics we bring into the analysis. In line with the recommendations of the Net Zero Investment Framework, as well as looking at portfolio-level financed emissions, we are also looking to analyze 'forward-looking metrics' – in other words, assessing the performance of individual portfolio companies over time in aligning with a net zero emissions trajectory. This will enable us to understand the extent to which of our portfolio companies are net zero aligned, and give us the confidence to continue to hold companies in higher-emissions sectors, if that makes sense from a financial point of view – as long as they are on the right pathway to reduce their impact. It will also allow us to target misaligned companies and use stewardship to encourage them to improve – with a clear message that companies which continue to be misaligned ultimately do not belong in net zero portfolios.
By combining analysis at the company level, together with the objective of cutting emissions at the portfolio level, we believe we can create a richer set of data. This will enable our fund managers to decarbonize their investments in the way that makes sense from both a financial and a climate point of view.
Challenge 3: Dealing with data gaps
While the use of forward-looking, company-specific data points helps provide a more meaningful analysis of net zero alignment, the approach carries significant challenges in terms of data.
The good news is that nearly 160 of the world's largest corporate emitters – covering around 80% of industrial greenhouse gas emissions – have been systematically scored on their climate performance using the Climate Action 100+ benchmark.
But for other companies, data provision is patchier. We have drawn information from sources including the Transition Pathway Initiative, Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Science-based Targets Initiative, as well as our ESG data provider MSCI. However, corporate disclosure even of simple metrics such as Scope 1 and 2 emissions is not universal, and disclosure of more sophisticated data such as Scope 3 value chain emissions is very partial and often involves estimation. We are working with peers to improve this, such as through collaborative engagement organized by the CDP targeting non-disclosers. We do expect data provision to improve, but this will take time.
The challenge is greater for some sectors than others. Many of our strategies have a heavy exposure to financial institutions, such as banks and insurers, where climate risks come not from direct emissions, but from their loan books or their exposure to insured assets. Reliable, comparable data on financed emissions is not yet available. Instead we are looking at more qualitative indicators, such as the integration of climate factors into lending decisions.
Challenge 4: Account for solutions providers
Many companies involved in the manufacture of emissions-savings technologies may have a significant carbon footprint of their own, as compared with some other sectors – but looking just at these direct emissions does not capture the emissions savings they create though their products.
Again, we wish to avoid disincentivizing investment in these firms, as we know there is an urgent need to shift capital toward climate solutions.
We see it as vital to highlight investment in solutions as an integral part of a net zero approach. This is something we have already been doing in our Impact Reports for our Responsible and Sustainable funds, where we link company revenues to the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG7 – Affordable and Clean Energy. The Net Zero Investment Framework recommends measuring and monitoring investment in solutions, using metrics such as alignment with the EU Taxonomy, which provides definitions of 'green' activities.
Some companies have started to report data on 'avoided emissions' – in other words, emissions that are avoided by using a company's products, as compared with other products in the market. This type of data would allow us to quantify some of the benefits these companies bring.
Challenge 5: Expanding to all asset classes
The commitments made by investors, including BMO GAM, under the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative mean transitioning all our assets under management to net zero emissions by 2050. However, while methodologies are becoming increasingly available for some asset classes, notably equities, credit and direct real estate, they are significantly less mature for others. We would particularly highlight:
Sovereign debt: The Net Zero Investment Framework sets out a broad structure for sovereign debt net zero alignment, but data sources on the alignment of government policies with net zero are not yet comprehensive, and there is not yet a systematic structure for organizing investor engagement with governments. The ASCOR project (Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks) is an important initiative that is working to address these issues. This is an urgent area to make further progress, given the significance of sovereign debt in many asset owner portfolios.
Private equity: In principle, the same approach on net zero alignment should apply to companies in private hands as for publicly listed companies, but the lack of reported data presents a significant challenge. Work is underway by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change to determine how to bring this asset class up to the same standards.
Multi-manager funds: Converting a multi manager strategy to a net zero pathway means collecting information and data from underlying fund managers – which, given the range of methodologies being used, may be difficult to aggregate. Work is underway to tackle methodology gaps, but it may be that some asset classes need to adopt a net zero approach somewhat later than others.
While the road to net zero may seem daunting for investors, the work being done by individual investors and through collaboration is rapidly making progress. Being open about the challenges and limitations of the methodologies we use is essential in terms of communicating honestly with clients and other stakeholders, as well as identifying the areas where further work is needed.
We see many opportunities arising from the rapid growth in investor commitment. The analysis of net zero alignment will support the deeper integration of climate risks and opportunities into investment portfolios, through the use of new data sets and analytical techniques. The emphasis on engagement coming out of the methodologies so far developed will add further impetus to investor stewardship, particularly beyond the Climate Action 100+ companies already under intensive focus. And efforts to address data gaps should support better company disclosure, building on progress made by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.
Implementing net zero is a huge challenge. But it's also an exciting new journey for all of us. Being frank about the difficulties we encounter will add to credibility and consistency across the industry. It's critical we get this right, and fast.

Where have you gone, Mark Fuhrman?
Wouldn't it be something if an author with a bonafide background in detective work who has a history of investigating and solving high profile cold cases decided to pick up all of these pieces laid out here in the Manson blogosphere and get into that LA evidence vault to solve all of this once and for all and publish his findings?
Like with (the grown up) Michael Skakel, who committed the Martha Moxley murder in 1975 and was brought to justice after Fuhrman's book in 2002 - attention would be turned back onto the (elderly) Manson Family.
The unindicted conspirators in Labianca and Shea would be put back on the stand to answer the as of yet unanswered questions.
Unsolved murders like Marina Habe, Jane Doe #59, Clyda Dulaney, Nancy Warren, James Sharp, Doreen Gaul, Filippo Tenerelli, Darwin Scott, Karl Stubbs, Mark Walts and possibly even more would be brought into the public consciousness. ZERO???
Testimony in the new wave of trials would include among scores of others Tex Watson, Bruce Davis, Mary Brunner, Steve Grogan, Sherry Cooper, Cathy Gillies, Gregg Jakobson, Roman Polanski (under duress and via satellite, of course) and even Nick Sand (was there a Brotherhood of Eternal Love connection via people in Santa Barbara and Gary Hinman?).
TV ratings would be through the roof - not to mention the stats on the blogs.
Sgt Dostie and Buster would get their well deserved 12 foot deep pandora's box dig. This time with network coverage.
C'mon Fuhrman, what else have you got to do? They did cancel your radio show. Read the books, go through the evidence, read the forums & watch the DVD's. We'll even help you (HA!). Then write another book and let's see if there are more trials. But please, get it done before Bugliosi and Charlie check out - we'll need them to spar as expert analysts on truTV!


Where are you? You're in the online home of Momo:tempo, and you're very welcome. You can put your feet on the ice-cool leather sofas and everything. Drink?
Momo is the production house of music maker and creative Timo Peach – or Tim, or TC, or Timothy Charles if you want to get suddenly serious. Or just Mo. Together with other creative friends, Momo gets up to various playful things while attempting to explore aspects of the human-planet future, often through art. And art for him means the adventure of music – with a core sound that is a cheeky cocktail of leftfield electro-pop. Momo:tempo's own take on electronic new wave. Retrofuturism. Fringe club music. Digital-funk cabaret. Something like that.
In his splendidly original artist recordings, as well as composing for television, film, theatre and fine art projects and of course in his colourful live outings with the Momo:tempo Electro Pops Orchestra, Momo draws on some broad creative influences, even though his unmistakeable voice somehow creeps through into all of his work. From Art Pop to Krautrock, electro-swing theatre to spoken work score, down-tempo or flirting with the fringes of progressive house, Momo:tempo may be a roller coaster of groove, sound, story and stage, but you are safely strapped in during each of those brain swerves and soaring tummy-turns, arriving back where you started in one piece with an adorable snapshot of you being ill at the top of the last crescendo.
And, when he's not lost in music, the wider spectrum of Momo's creative life gets Mr Peach working as a writer, designer and creative director, presenter, voice artist and occasional preachy speaker. While his podcast and blog, Unsee The Future, explores his interest in encouraging a more sustainable human-planet future, often through the lens of science fiction.

SERVICE OF GENERAL AND DIGESTIVE SURGERY PERFORMED HMS, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SPAIN, AN ASSISTED BY WAY right hepatectomy ROBOTICS
Inicio >> News >> SERVICE OF GENERAL AND DIGESTIVE SURGERY PERFORMED HMS, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SPAIN, AN ASSISTED BY WAY right hepatectomy ROBOTICS
The intervention carried out in HM University Sanchinarro (HMS) is one of the few in the world made so far
• With this new milestone, HMS, who had already made six types of liver resections children with the help of robotic support, it ranks among the top ten in the world rankings most experienced centers in this complex surgical field
• The robotic surgery, because it provides three-dimensional visualization and the use of articulated instruments incorporating reduces the limitations of laparoscopic surgery, and allows for radical surgery with less risk and postoperative comfort
• right hepatectomy assisted via robotic HMS has been realized in the wide experience in liver surgery and robotic surgery having the hospital, a double skill possess few surgical groups worldwide.
• The intervention and postoperative evolved without any major alterations, and the result was entirely satisfactory. The patient was discharged after 14 days of operation, and after two months of evolution, is in excellent clinical condition without detectable liver tumor
• Since 2010 HM hospitals acquired the Da Vinci surgical robot, especially since he launched the first Chair of Robotic Surgery Abdominal Oncology of Spain, the group has a clear commitment in this direction, and the experience is qualitatively pioneer and national leader in what relates to this specialty
Madrid, January 24, 2013. The Department of General Surgery and Digestive HM University Sanchinarro (HMS) recently conducted an assisted right hepatectomy via robotics, which is the first operation of its kind to be conducted in Spain and one of the few performed worldwide to date since the 217 liver resections carried out worldwide until last December, only 51 were right hepatectomy and therefore had had similar characteristics to that made in HMS.
With this new assistance and technological milestone service directed by Dr. Emilio Vicente and Yolanda Quijano, HMS, already six different types of liver resections children with the help of robotic support, "appears today in the ninth previously made since the world rankings most experienced centers in this complex surgical field "in the words of the experts.
The anatomical liver resections are performed in an almost universally open surgery, with excellent results are obtained. For its realization requires large incisions through which an excellent surgical field is obtained but logically is also associated with a non-negligible morbidity and, in general, greater discomfort for the patient and slow post-operative recovery.
The alternative to this approach is the realization of resection by minimally invasive surgery, a concept in which laparoscopic surgery has been considered until now as the only option. However, through it it is difficult to reproduce the surgical maneuvers to be carried out in the open, such as clamping the hilar pedicle liver transection, controlling bleeding and reconstruction of the bile duct if necessary surgery. This difficulty becomes even more evident in lobar resections anatomical, especially in the right hepatectomy, the trisegmentectomías or lesions located in the posterior segments of the liver.
It is in this scenario where "robotic surgery, thanks to the three-dimensional vision offered and the use of articulated instruments incorporating, helps reduce the limitations of laparoscopic surgery, which can make radical surgery with less risk and more comfort the patient postoperatively to "explain the doctors.
In this respect, Vicente and Quijano said the right hepatectomy has been accomplished in HMS because the hospital has extensive experience in liver surgery and robotic surgery, double skill that is key to addressing this type of intervention and having very few surgical groups in the world. "Our surgical team has extensive experience in this type of surgery they assure not only considered conventional procedures such as lobectomy, segmentectomy secorectomías or liver, but also in more complex techniques such as extracorporeal liver surgery, liver resection surgery associated vascular or hepatic bipartition in situ as a new modality for addressing bilobar metastatic disease, etc ".
Satisfactory results of the intervention
In particular, the case of right hepatectomy robotic assisted surgery was performed on a patient suffering from a liver metastatic colorectal origin conglomerate located in the central and posterior part of the right lobe of the liver. They claim those responsible for the Department of General and Digestive Surgery at HMS, after receiving various chemotherapy protocols, and in the presence of a moderate response, the surgical approach, treatment of choice for this type of pathology with which said, Despite being a widespread disease, excellent results in terms of prolonged survival.
Thanks to the use of robotic surgery, required surgical steps were made in this surgery: Dissection of the vascular-biliary structures of the hepato-duodenal ligament (hepatic artery, portal vein and right biliary tract), liver mobilization and dissection of the vein retrohepatic inferior vena cava in the sector and, eventually, liver transection.
All these surgical steps, regardless of the approach used, often complex, since it is performed on vascular structures of great importance to the organism, so that the increased risk in its realization is bleeding. However, as experts say, in this case, "the Robotic Holder allowed excellent visualization, proper dissection of vascular structures and excellent control of bleeding points during the section of the liver."
And postoperative intervention, which fell more direct part in the surgical group, anesthetic and then the Intensive Care Unit, with the support of the various services and HMS health workers involved in varying degrees in its implementation, developed "without notable alterations" and the result was "fully satisfactory", as it is termed by doctors Vincent and Quijano. Moreover, the patient was discharged after 14 days of operation and two months later is "disease-free and with excellent clinical situation", specifying only the "standard control metastatic disease liver from colorectal cancer, regardless technical and / or surgical approach used, "they add.
Liver resections of peripheral lesions, or even simpler liver resections had already been made in the HMS Digestive and General Surgery with excellent results in terms of lower consumption of blood, decreased postoperative morbidity and reduced postoperative stay .
A promising future
Which, in the opinion of those responsible for that service makes the difference it is that "the important step to the realization of a right hepatectomy with robotic support in our hospital can be optimistic about the future of this technique in patients requiring resections complex anatomical liver ". "HMS is possibly one of the Spanish centers more hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery performed in cancer -continúan-, so the future of this technique is very promising."
And, since HM hospitals in 2010 acquired the Da Vinci surgical robot and installed in HMS, especially since it launched the first Chair of Robotic Surgery Abdominal Oncology of Spain, the group has a clear commitment in this direction, and accumulated experience in this uptime in qualitative terms is a pioneer and national leader, being the most important at European level in the specific field of tumor pathology of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas, according to doctors.
In this context, say Quijano Vincent and minimally invasive surgery, and more specifically the one performed with robotic support, "will play in the future an important role in very specific centers of the world where extensive experience in robotic surgery and associate liver surgery, as it will perform, in selected patients, radical surgery with great confidence that will be associated with a lower consumption of blood, better postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stay. " "Given the nature of the indications for their realization in cancer, these are momentous issues facing the beginning of a rapid postoperative chemotherapy when necessary use it to keep control of the process neoformative" they conclude.


This week's theme on the Gallery is World Photography Day, I love taking photos but dont do it as much as I should. This week Tara asked us to take a photo from this weekend to celebrate World Photography Day.
We had a pretty quiet weekend but one thing we did do was find a new park. One thing I really miss from england is the woodland parks, where you can walk and have picnics etc. Here, in Portugal it can be quite difficult to find those kind of areas, and the beach can become abit samey, not to mention the sand in the sandwiches! But finally we found one, near my home there are signs for a 'parque de lazer' (leisure park) and I had tried to find it but couldnt, (signage is not always the best here), but I thought I would give it another try and we found it. Where I grew up, we had lots of woods and I spent many a happy hour playing in the woods and fields, and its something I want my kids to have.
Its nice, with small pine and eucalyptus trees and paths to discover. Lots of space for picnics and for little people to run and a play park. What we also saw was a family of deer, (I did take a photo but my lens wasnt long enough), something familiar to me but not my children. It is quite and peaceful, a nice place to spend time as a family and teach my children about nature. And the views are great, you can see for miles.
Here they are with a quite random model of a cow, not so unusual in Portugal.
We are looking forward to many more hours spent discovering our newly found 'parque de lazer'.
Come over and see the other entries on The Gallery this week.
Sounds like a lovely day out - I have to say I'm a big fan of that cow!
What a lovely photo, looks very peaceful.
Lovely. I like the cow and it would look good on my smallholding which has no animals as we don't have a clue about farming. I always love ones like the one where they are striding out to an unknown/yet to be discovered future.


Quilting Adventures: It's been a long time coming ....!
I must say that I do like the way it turned out. It sort of makes up for all the pattern problems I had.
Ta dah... my Women of Influence BOM Quilt.....!
It's done and hanging in the Shoppe!
I couldn't get a full picture of the quilt, as it's quite large (92 x 116)!
It's machine pieced and machine appliquéd.
The pattern is now available from the book Women of Influence 12 Leaders of the Suffrage Movement by Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith. You can read more about this BOM it in a prior post here.
I used this project to push my machine quilting comfort zone. I don't know if you can see some of the details, but I have some echoing going on in 2 (two) of the machine appliquéd blocks and lots of "in the ditch work" AKA ruler work etc.
I've even machine embroidered a label for it!
Thank you for visiting my little corner in cyberspace.
Carole! It's beautiful! I love the colors. Congratulations on a great first finish for 2010!
It really did turn out beautifully. I am so glad than you and Penelope are getting so comfortable with each other.
That is such a nice quilt! I want to make one this year.
The quilt looks great...beautiful work.

MasonrySaver Water Repellent for Split-Face Block combines the advantages of a film forming coating and hydrophobic silane/siloxane water repellent. Available in 5 gallon containers.
MasonrySaver Water Repellent for Split-Face Block is a one component, V.O.C. compliant water repellent sealer for use on all vertical block surfaces, but specifically lightweight, split-face and fluted block. It is a silane/siloxane blend with acrylic elastomers that penetrate small pores and capillaries and reduces the size of larger ones.
The unique resin blend is UV stable and allows for penetration up to 3/4 of an inch or more depending on porosity of the concrete masonry unit (CMU). This creates a deep, long-lasting hydrophobic zone within the subsurface while producing only a minimal glossy look. The acrylic elastomers seal larger pores and capillaries while the hydrophobic (silane/siloxane) ingredients change the contact angle of the block pores from negative (suction) to positive (repellent). This causes water to shed, and significantly reduces water penetration into a wall system.
MasonrySaver Water Repellent for Split-Face Block is recommended for use on all porous, vertical, above grade concrete masonry units including smooth, split-faced, burnished fluted or ribbed, and concrete brick. Natural substrate color and surface textures are only minimally affected, adding only a slight sheen and darkening.
It can be used on denser clay brick where some gloss and sheen are desirable. Testing is recommended before treating any surface to ensure desired results.
MasonrySaver Split Face Block Water Repellent can be painted over with most quality oil base paints that are recommended for exterior masonry surfaces.

Trump Choice to Head IRS Says He'll Work for All Taxpayers
He also defended Trump's decision to break with tradition by refusing to release his personal tax filings during the 2016 presidential campaign
By Marcy Gordon	• Published at 1:51 pm on June 28, 2018
Under sharp questioning from some Democratic senators, President Donald Trump's choice to head the IRS promised on Thursday to work for the benefit of ordinary taxpayers in administering the massive new tax law.
Charles Rettig is a Beverly Hills tax lawyer who has represented thousands of individuals and companies in civil and criminal tax matters before the agency and against it in court. He also defended Trump's decision to break with tradition by refusing to release his personal tax filings during the 2016 presidential campaign.
At his confirmation hearing by the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, Rettig was asked whether, given his experience representing wealthy individuals in tax-avoidance cases, he would work for ordinary taxpayers.
Nancy Pelosi 17 mins ago
"I have seen the difficulties faced by taxpayers of all kinds," Rettig said. "I will work ... to take on challenges with the impact on taxpayers in mind."
Retting, if confirmed by the Senate as Internal Revenue Service commissioner, will face a colossal challenge in administering and enforcing the new law, the most sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code in 30 years. The complex, $1.5 trillion package was muscled through Congress by the majority Republicans late last year with Democrats unanimously voting against it.
The new law, Trump's signature legislative achievement, provides generous tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans, and more modest reductions for middle- and low-income individuals and families. Starting early this year, millions of working Americans saw increases in their paychecks with less tax withheld.
Rettig, 61, has worked at his Beverly Hills, California, law firm, Hochman, Salkin, Rettig, Toscher & Perez, for more than 35 years.
His clients have included affluent taxpayers seeking to strike deals with the IRS to turn over information on offshore bank accounts in exchange for reduced penalties. He has sued the IRS on behalf of clients seeking to reduce their tax penalties, and chaired the IRS advisory council, which acts as a public forum for discussing tax issues with agency officials.
Rettig also pledged at the hearing to uphold the political independence of the IRS. He had defended Trump's refusal to release his tax returns, writing that Trump was facing the IRS "Wealth Squad." Trump has accused the IRS of unfairly harassing him with audits and cited the IRS' ongoing audit of his returns as the reason for his refusal.
"Mr. Rettig ... needs to demonstrate that he will maintain independence from the Trump White House," said Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, the committee's senior Democrat.
Rettig said he expects that taxpayers "will see me as staunchly independent or more so."
The quality of service provided by the agency for taxpayers is a primary issue. Rettig would take over an agency that has been pummeled for years by Republican lawmakers and has seen its funding slashed by 20 percent since 2010. His vetting comes as the independent IRS watchdog warned Congress in a report that funding cuts have eroded the agency's ability to provide high-quality service to taxpayers and to upgrade its aging technology.
"Some of the IRS' information technology dates back to the Kennedy administration," said the Finance Committee chairman, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. "I expect Mr. Rettig to work with Congress to modernize the IRS' infrastructure and technology to bring the agency into the 21st century."
Rettig acknowledged that long waits on the phone for taxpayers seeking information from the agency and outdated technology "are significant sources of frustration."
"The American taxpayers deserve the most up-to-date IT system on the planet," he said, and upgrading the system would be one of his top goals.
The tax-filing season earlier this year for 2017, the last one under the "old" tax regime, went well, officials said.
But on April 17, the filing deadline, the bottom fell out. Key elements of the IRS computer system crashed, bringing an unwelcome surprise for taxpayers who had waited until the final day to file online. The website for making payments and gaining access to other key services was down due to what officials later described as a "high-volume technical issue." It came back online late that day, and affected taxpayers got an extra day to file.

Cooperative Ecoystem Studies Unit, South Florida/Caribbean CESU: The US Geological Survey, Southeast Ecological Science Center (SESC), is officer a funding opportunity for research on the effects of global climate change (GCC) and sea level rise (SLR) on coastal vegetation, including transitions from freshwater vegetation communities to communities associated with more marine or brackish conditions. This will be a consequence not only of gradual SLR, but also of storm surges that can deposit large amounts of saline water far inland and possibly trigger major regime shifts to more salinity-tolerant vegetation. A model currently exists to examine mangrove/ hammock interaction and regime shift (the MANHAM model, Sternberg et al. 2007, Teh et al. 2008) and has been used for projecting ecotone movement and changes in salinity. This model demonstrates that acute increases in salinities of the vadose zone, induced by storm surge overwash events, might reduce the growth rate of the salinity intolerant hardwood hammock trees. This could promote regime shifts toward mangroves at sites that are far inland, but reachable by storm surges. This model does not take into account some features of the environment, such as groundwater dynamics, however, and needs to be improved and broadened.

Since 2005 Northern-California based Modwalls has offered affordable Midcentury-inspired tile in ceramics and glass for commercial and residential applications. Over the years they have teamed up with notable designers such as Rex Ray, Clayhaus Ceramics and Henry Road. But their newest designs might come from an unlikely source.
The Modwall's Brio® collection of glass tile offers a colorful variety of 3/4″ (19mm) glass tile in various textures. A slew of options are available in solids, gradients and blends for immediate delivery. But if you really want something unique you can create a mosaic pattern from your very own recipe!
The Brio Blender allows you to choose the colors you want and tweak the mixture. Then a random digital mixing of those color choices produces an instant on-screen sample of one square foot of your creation. Click the Remix button to see another sample of the way your mosaic design will look.
A sample mosaic pattern created with the Brio Blender tool from Modwalls.
If you like what you see you can order a sample. It's a 25 tile (5×5) sampling of your design. If you really like it you can order up the real thing (there's a minimum order of 20 sq. ft.) that comes boxed in square foot sheets with a paper carrier protecting the tiles. And the best part is it's affordable. Like around $12 a square foot for a mosaic made of solid colors.

A ecotecnologia é uma ciência aplicada que busca atender às necessidades humanas, causando o mínimo de perturbação ecológica, aproveitando e manipulando as forças naturais para alavancar seus efeitos benéficos. A ecotecnologia integra dois campos de estudo: a "ecologia da técnica" e a "técnica da ecologia", exigindo uma compreensão das estruturas e processos dos ecossistemas e sociedades. Toda engenharia sustentável que reduza os danos aos ecossistemas, adote a ecologia como base fundamental e assegure a conservação da biodiversidade e o desenvolvimento sustentável podem ser consideradas formas de ecotecnologia.

A ecotecnologia enfatiza a abordagem de um problema de um ponto de vista holístico. Por exemplo, a remediação de rios não deve considerar apenas uma única área. Em vez disso, toda a área de captação, que inclui as seções a montante, médio e a jusante, deve ser considerada.

A construção pode reduzir seu impacto na natureza consultando especialistas em meio ambiente.

O desenvolvimento sustentável requer a implementação de tecnologias ecológicas que sejam eficientes e adaptadas às condições locais. A ecotecnologia permite melhorar o desempenho econômico enquanto minimiza os danos ao meio ambiente por:

 Aumentando a eficiência na seleção e uso de materiais e fontes de energia;
 Controle de impactos nos ecossistemas;
 Desenvolvimento e melhoria permanente de processos e produtos mais limpos;
 Marketing ecológico;
 Introdução de sistemas de gestão ambiental nos setores de produção e serviços;
 Desenvolvimento de atividades para aumentar a consciência da necessidade de proteção ambiental e promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável pelo público em geral;

Durante o Ecotechnics '95 - Simpósio Internacional de Engenharia Ecológica em Östersund, Suécia, os participantes concordaram com a definição: "Ecotechnics é definido como o método de projetar sociedades futuras dentro de estruturas ecológicas."

Salford Business School 12.01.21
New Salford business imports PPE equipment
A new business has been launched in Salford, importing PPE and disinfectant equipment.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a huge spike in the amount of PPE used by all businesses in a bid to stay safe. To capitalise on the ongoing need a University of Salford student has launched a business which imports equipment from central Europe to the UK.
Ondrej Obediar, who completed a masters in Applied Psychology in 2016, unfortunately suffered from Coronavirus last year. It was then that he realised the appeal of PPE businesses abroad wanting to expand into the UK market. With this in mind, he created Panacea Protective Equipment.
He said: "The idea is to import new products from Central Europe, like Slovakia and Czech Republic. We have products like disinfectant, disinfectant tunnels, specials masks and so on. We are also trying to sell high standard breathing units in the UK for the NHS."
Despite the idea initially occurring during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ondrej emphasised the need for it outside of this.
"All these supplies which I'm bringing in are not uniquely for coronavirus," he said, "they are related to pulmonary problems and can be used, for example, wherever people are exposed to infectious diseases and bacteria.
"It is not solely based on Coronavirus, it is based on infection control."
Ondrej is part of the University of Salford's business incubator, Launch@SalfordUni. Launch was set up in 2018 with the idea of aiding students and alumni in developing their own business. As part of a six-month support programme, users get access to a plethora of support from the team, including training, guidance, office space and financial aid.
Justyna Turner, who runs the Launch @SalfordUni incubator, said: "Ondrej has a clear goal with Panacea Protective Equipment and has shown his commitment to the business by applying himself to the courses we offer.
"I can see his business becoming quite successful and I am excited to see what else he can do throughout the remainder of his time with Launch."
Ondrej said: "We are also in the process of approaching NHS supply chains and becoming a permanent company on the list of NHS suppliers."
Ondrej hopes that Panacea Protective Equipment can be used as a resource in the UK – whether that be in universities or for the NHS – for disinfectant-based products.
