Can Chile balance growth and climate action?
Chile is at a crossroads. Copper prices are falling, the gap between energy supply and demand is widening, and in December the second round of presidential elections will determine who will lead Chile in the next administration. Chile faces a difficult balancing act to maintain its strong economic growth and the energy this requires, while ensuring progress on its climate, environmental and clean energy goals. In this whirlwind of domestic change, Chile has the opportunity to reaffirm its position as a global leader on climate change.
Chile has the highest income per capita in all of South America, largely thanks to a recent boom in copper exports to China. Yet mining is energy-intensive and the government estimates that Chile will need to increase its energy supply 16% by 2020. As an energy-poor country, Chile is forced to import 75% of its energy, including expensive liquid natural gas. Sourcing this energy and its high price tag has generated a politicized and difficult debate without an easy way forward.
Meanwhile, Chile is making progress on its pledge to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 20% below 2007 levels by 2020. Chile also recently doubled its renewable energy target from 10% by 2024 to 20% by 2025. At the UN climate change negotiations, Chile is part of the Association of Independent Latin American and Caribbean States (AILAC, in Spanish), which includes Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, and Peru. This group, currently co-chaired by Chile and Colombia, emerged in 2012 in an effort to break away from the stifling North-South divide and push for binding emission reductions for all countries in a new treaty by 2015.
As the recent COP19 climate negotiations in Poland entered their second week, former Chilean president Michelle Bachelet secured an easy victory in the first round of presidential elections. In December Bachelet will face a runoff with the second-place candidate, Evelyn Matthei, from which she will likely emerge the winner.
Current president Sebastián Piñera will leave office without establishing a clear vision on national energy policy. Bachelet supports a variety of energy projects, including new coal-fired power plants and expanded import of liquid natural gas. Alarmingly, discussions of climate change and low-carbon development were largely absent from the presidential campaign.
At the center of this prickly energy debate is the controversy surrounding HidroAysén, a proposed 2,750-megawatt hydroelectric project in Patagonia. Piñera’s administration has postponed a decision on HidroAysén until after the elections. Bachelet is often quoted as saying that HidroAysén is “not viable.” Yet Waldemar Coutts, from Chile’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, believes Chile “needs to seek new energy sources to maintain growth, highlighting, in particular, non-conventional renewables.” Though Bachelet continues to promote importing expensive liquid natural gas, mounting pressure to feed the country’s hunger for energy could push her to reconsider her position on HidroAysén.
Enrique Maurtua, regional coordinator for the Latin American branch of the Climate Action Network, is confident in Chile’s ability to lead AILAC alongside Colombia, but notes the tension between environmental concerns and Chile’s interests as a mining country. “If they succeed on the energy issues they are having, they will be a good model for the rest of Latin America,” he said.
Chile is not the only AILAC country whose economy depends on the extraction of natural resources. AILAC’s members’ similar backgrounds support collective ambition: all AILAC countries have pre-2020 mitigation commitments, which is not true for many other developing countries. Might Chile take the plunge to further solidify its leadership and increase its own ambition before 2020? “It is still early to say, but Chile is doing its best to build capacity at home and develop as many domestic mitigation actions plans as possible. We want to quantify our every effort towards our goal, with an aim to exceed the challenge,” said Pirazzoli.
After the limited success of COP19, attention is shifting rapidly to the UN climate negotiations in 2014. With the pre-COP in Venezuela and COP20 in Peru, 2014 will be Latin America’s year. This is an opportunity for Chile and AILAC to exert a larger influence in the push for significant commitments and a new climate change regime by 2015. Yet AILAC can only be an international pacesetter if the domestic policies of its member countries reflect the group’s ambitious rhetoric at the UN.
With a new administration and shifting dynamics in the energy and mining sectors, Chile is on the precipice of change and can seize the opportunity to consolidate and enhance its actions on climate change. Backtracking now or failing to sufficiently implement its domestic policies will only serve to dilute Chile and AILAC’s progressive voice and leadership. Both are urgently needed to push aside the North-South divide and progress towards an ambitious and binding agreement for all countries in 2015.

With the onset of sea level rise and increase in extreme weather events, entire island nations face extermination. Islands in the Pacific Ocean are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and are some of the first countries being forced to migrate from their homeland.
At the closing of the UN climate negotiations today, these small island states are negotiating for their very survival as they are forcibly being driven from their homes as a result of climate change.
Kiribati, a low-lying South Pacific country, is using the UN climate negotiations as a platform to bring light to these climate-induced forced migrants. Recently, the Kiribati government has suggested relocating the entire island’s population of 100,000.
The process of relocation has already begun. Earlier this year, Kiribati President Anote Tong confirmed plans to buy 6,000 acres of land in Fiji to ensure food security for his people. Kiribati’s food production has been hard-hit by the sea level rise, with saline water intruding on the fertile soil of the island.
Last month, Ione Teitiota from Kiribati sought asylum for his family in New Zealand, asking that country’s High Court to allow him to claim climate change refugee status. The verdict is pending, as no international law currently exists to address the rights of climate change refugees.
According to the UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, a refugee has historically been defined as a person whose “fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion” has made him or her “unable” or “unwilling” to seek protection in the home country.
Written in 1951, the document primarily addressed migrants from war and persecution. The idea of displaced peoples due to global warming did not exist.
The term “refugee” implies something temporary. Island states like Kiribati are not dealing with people who seek sanctuary elsewhere because of the political, social, or economic situation in their homeland. These are people who have been permanently displaced due to climate change – circumstances neither they nor their governments created. They do not have the ability or choice of returning one day to their homeland, as it will be submerged underwater.
Many ambiguities and problems remain with addressing the rights of these people: When does an island nation decide to move? And if so, where? When a country moves to a new land, does it still exist in law? Although these issues are being included in discussions about a “loss and damage” mechanism within the UN climate negotiations, how do governments and policy makers quantify the loss of an entire homeland?
Ambassador Ronald Jumeau, who represents the Seychelles at the United Nations and who is chief negotiator of the Small Island Developing States, is addressing these questions. He points out questions about how “host” countries take these immigrants in, and how sea level rise even in their own countries could make less land available for newcomers.
“How does the Seychelles start a discussion, if we don’t know where we’re going in the first place? At what time do we decide to move?” he asks.
There is a very real potential of entire societies disappearing. A conversation to respond to this crisis needs to start within the United Nations, incorporating impacted peoples, elected leaders of island communities and states, and human rights groups and academia in the process. And it needs to start immediately.
A loss and damage mechanism established by the U.N. to provide compensation for climate impacts should be a critical step. However, additional steps must be taken to update the U.N. Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and related legal frameworks and support systems. Some nations are beyond the point of loss – they are facing extinction.
Is anyone listening to the new leaders on climate?
In the months prior to the COP15 in Copenhagen, President of the Maldives Mohamed Nasheed convened the first meeting of the Climate Vulnerable Forum and urged leaders to make active carbon neutral pledges to arm their convictions that their survival depends on all countries pursuing low-carbon economies.
Nasheed believed that a bloc of carbon-neutral developing countries could move the outcome of Copenhagen.
To Nasheed’s disappointment, not all of the countries jumped on the carbon-neutral bandwagon and it is unlikely whether these countries could have prevented the train-wreck of Copenhagen which sacrificed 189 voices for the sake of 5. Nonetheless, out of the ashes of the COP15 we have begun to see the rise of new leaders and alliances, which rally under the progressive banner and promote low-carbon growth at home and abroad.
The shift in developing countries to pursue intense mitigation actions emerged from a frustration in the slow, and sometimes stand-still, rate of progress in the international climate negotiations.
This year’s COP witnesses a proliferation of side events showcasing countries’ advancement in low-carbon economies. Events such as “Showcasing low-carbon transitions in Cartagena Dialogue countries”, “Europe on the way to a low carbon future,” “Green Technology and China’s Climate Adaptation: Toward a low carbon society”, and “Low Carbon Development in the Asian Countries” pronounce countries’ commitments to real action outside of the negotiating rooms.
But who are they calling on, and who is listening?
The EU has championed itself as leaders in the climate regime since the inception of the Kyoto Protocol. EU’s decarbonizing initiative comes from both economic incentives (realizing the rising and unstable costs of importing oil) and their desire to be climate leaders and demonstrate the benefits of a low-carbon economy. But today the EU has grown to comprise 27 member states, and many of the new members, along with the current conservative Polish EU Presidency, question the drive toward low-carbon growth and climate leadership. The crisis in the Euro Zone has raised fears of investing in renewable energy, even though it could generate jobs and would pay for itself over the years. In the current climate, some of the EU countries wish to use other member countries’ additional carbon cuts to meet the EU’s collective CO2 emissions reduction goals.
Still, countries participating in the Dialogue use the informal space to share information with each other on how to move toward low-carbon economies, and they are open to sharing this information with countries which have similar objectives.
Yesterday the Maldives, which has become some what of a poster-child for carbon neutrality, announced their willingness to place their carbon-neutral target as a legally binding commitment.
Are we listening to these countries? With the exception of the Climate Vulnerable Forum, we don’t hear many stories of these countries holding these pledges and low-carbon actions as bargaining chips. At the very least, they demonstrate a commitment to the ideas enshrined in the UNFCCC. And while they may weaken the age-old game of chicken “We won’t move unless you do,” we have to remember that the negotiations have taken up the nature of a long game. It may be a while before we see much movement from the detractors.

Flourish Education have provided schools across the West Midlands with teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and other support staff for permanent, long term and day-to-day positions since year 2010. Grant and Louise wanted to focus on the service they could provide from the start, rather than concentrate on the bottom line. Everyone at Flourish Education believes that we're a competitive teacher agency, built to make the recruitment process more convenient and transparent. We all strive hard to give schools the best candidates and go that extra mile.
I joined Flourish Education in October 2017. Prior to this I had been a manager within a hospitality and special events company. Taking time to reflect and decide want I really want to do has led me to changing direction and moving into a more challenging but fulfilling career.
I love to see people succeed and achieve their wishes which also motivates me. I love meeting new people and learning their stories and in turn there is nothing better than leaving a positive impact.
I love that Flourish Education is a family run business and that I am surrounding by such a lovely bunch of caring people. The team here make you feel like family and their efforts within their own roles inspire me to learn more.
I can help find my candidates roles through the positive relationships I have developed with my schools in the areas that I cover.
Teaching and non-teaching staff within the Black Country and surrounding areas.
My advice for candidates is that anything is achievable if you believe in yourself and put your mind to it. Be consistent, tenacious and never give up.
I have a keen interest in languages and foreign cultures which has led to me travelling around many parts of the world. I love to explore the cities of Europe and learn about different traditions. When I’m not travelling I love to take my Labrador on long walks.

A new generation of smaller, more durable devices have emerged allowing patients with advanced end-stage heart failure that have exhausted all medical therapy to survive with ventricular assist devices (VAD). These surgically implanted, mechanical devices maintain the heart's pumping ability by supporting the heart’s ventricles.
Our heart transplant team has extensive experience implanting the Heartmate®, Thoratec® and Abiomed® cardiac assist devices. Texas Transplant Institute is the only approved destination therapy program in San Antonio that utilizes the HeartMate® left ventricular assist device as a bridge to transplant or transplant alternative.
Small battery-operated device used primarily to treat slow heart rates. The device monitors the heart rate and can send small electrical impulses to increase the heart rate if it senses that a heart rate is too low. Pacemakers are small metal devices that are placed in the upper chest with lead wires going to the heart; they are about the size of a pocket watch and can usually be implanted on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia.
In a large number of heart failure patients, the electrical impulses in the heart are slowed and the signals to one, or both, of the heart's lower chambers are delayed. If that happens, the two lower chambers may not pump at the same time. When the heart's contractions are out of sync, the heart cannot pump enough blood to the body. A special type of pacemaker called a ‘biventricular pacemaker’ or ‘cardiac resynchronization therapy’ can send electrical impulses to both lower chambers at the same time to coordinate the pumping function of the heart.
An ICD is an electrical cardiac device that is used to treat very fast heart rates and can stop life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms. The ICD monitors the heart rhythm at all times and will notice any abnormal rhythm. Within seconds, it can try to get the heart back into a normal rhythm by delivering painless pacing impulses or a more noticeable shock to the heart. An ICD is implanted into the upper chest with lead wires to the heart similar to a regular pacemaker.
Some patients with very severe heart failure do not improve with medications only. If their heart continues to deteriorate and becomes unable to pump enough to sustain life, they may be offered a ventricular assist device for ‘destination therapy’ or as a ‘bridge to transplant.’ During bridge to transplant, patients receive a VAD to support their heart while waiting for a donor heart. If they are not eligible for transplant, the VAD can provide long-term support for the patient's heart as destination therapy.
VADs are placed for pumping support of the left, right, or both chambers of the heart. A VAD is a pump that is surgically connected to the heart in two places to replace the pumping function of the existing heart. These devices are connected to an outside power source, but battery-powered connections are available to allow patients to go home from the hospital. Each device is different and will depend on the patient's body size and medical condition. The patient must meet certain criteria of their overall health conditions, blood pressure, blood flow and body size to be considered eligible for a VAD. Surgery to insert a VAD involves a variety of certain risks.

When we launched Our Political Essay in early 2016, the primaries for the presidential election were more hectic than they’ve ever been before. A Donald Trump presidency at the time seemed very improbable, if not entirely impossible. It was, without a doubt, the most compelling election to launch a publication to cover.
Through those months, we had over 20 guest contributors from varying colleges and universities, several editorial board articles, and we were on the ground at the primaries, election night, the inauguration, the Women’s March, and elsewhere. We offered a unique insight into the presidential election that you couldn’t read or listen to at other outlets.
From our live election night coverage to our round table podcasts in the months that followed Trump’s election, Our Political Essay, if anything, was a completely enthralling endeavor to be a part of. We’re grateful for every reader and listener who tuned into coverage here on the site. Thank you.
We won’t update this website much further, however, to maintain its posterity. It will always remain live, without advertisements, as a time capsule of the superb work that happened here.

Customer Loyalty Test: Will Your Customer Evangelize Your Business?
Is what I’m doing right now going to get the customer to come back the next time he or she needs whatever it is that I sell?
If you concentrate your efforts on the here and now – and the next time – the future will take care of itself. If you consistently perform in a way that will keep customers coming back, you will ultimately end up with loyal, lifetime customers.
Is what I’m doing right now going to make the customer want to leave a good review on social media sites?
In the past when we talked about customers as evangelists for business, it was mainly in reference to the recommendations they would offer in face-to-face interactions. Today, customers can voice their opinions – good or bad – about a business in an instant on social media for the whole world to see. An important tool in business today is evangelism via the Internet – positive reviews on social media channels such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and websites like Angie’s List, Urbanspoon and Yelp.
And, a positive review gives you the answers you hope for to both the Loyalty Question and the Evangelist Question. The customer is willing to return, and he or she is pleased enough to freely offer positive reviews.
You might be tempted to think that this concept is limited to retail businesses selling directly to the consumer. However, B2B must not write off the concept as there are avenues in which industry magazines and conferences, as well as bloggers, will effectively “review” your company.
Social media has evolved rapidly and become a part of most people’s daily routine. As people “talk” on these channels, they share experiences with those in their circle of friends and beyond. It would be foolish for a business to overlook the importance of using social media to its advantage, so how can you ensure your company is portrayed in a positive light? Most importantly, do a good job! Create a customer experience that is so good it makes your customers want to share it with others, online and by word of mouth. This will not only evangelize for your business, but also create loyal customers who continue to grow in number.

The colour prints of Louis Ducos du Hauron, an unknown pioneer of colour photography, have been put under the infrared and X-rays at the ESRF, the European Synchrotron (Grenoble, France) to better understand the methods he used. A team of researchers and curators from the ESRF, CNRS, C2RMF , Musée d’Orsay, École nationale supérieure Louis Lumière, the faculty of Science and Engineering of the Sorbonne University, the Chimie Paris Tech and a private photography conservator and curator has published the results of this study in Angewandte Chemie.
To this question, most people would reply “the brothers Lumière”. Their procedure “autochrome” is recorded into posterity because the brothers commercialised it with success. However, a photography pioneer has been kept in the shadow: Louis Ducos du Hauron. This is despite the fact that he patented an animated image-processing method in 1864, the same year that Louis Lumière was born. He was the first one to produce three-color prints using three negatives printed into three colour positives (one red, one yellow and one blue), in a similar manner to how printers today function.
As if he were a cook, Ducos du Hauron spent his life creating “recipes” – procedures based on scientific experimentation- to achieve a faithful reconstruction of reality through colour photographs. He photographed each scene through green, orange, and violet filters, then printed his three negatives on three thin films of dichromate gelatin containing red, blue, and yellow pigments, the complementary colours of the filters used for the negatives. When the three positives were superimposed, a full-colour photograph resulted.

With a busy work schedule, preparing for hunting season, having kids who play sports and a whole list of other responsibilities, I’ve found it difficult to keep up with a bi-weekly blog. Now that it’s hunting season, I know it’s going to be even more difficult (at least in the early season). I’m just like most of you…I hunt when I can and where I can. I get to work a few minutes earlier each day and find myself not wanting to leave the office for an hour lunch break. I typically run out and grab something (or brown bag it) and just eat at my desk, then when 4pm rolls around, I’m out the door and on my way to a deer stand.

OR knocked off Arizona two years ago - the last time the two teams met in Tucson - ending Arizona's then nation's-best home win streak.
While the Wildcats allowed OR to shoot 47.4 percent, their defense helped them pull away down the stretch, with the Ducks going scoreless for over three minutes before Mikyle McIntosh scored inside to cut UA's lead to 84-79 with 59.5 seconds left. Brown later hit all three free throws he took after Rawle Alkins fouled him behind the 3-point line to give OR its biggest lead of the second half, 75-51, with 5:40 left. But the Sun Devils have yet to find their footing in Pac-12 play and are now 13-3 overall and 1-3 in conference after a 76-72 home loss to OR on Thursday.
Clinging to a 67-66 lead in the fourth quarter, UCLA (12-4, 3-2 Pac-12) got a layup from Canada to spark a 5-0 spurt and hung on from the free-throw line over the final 4 minutes to seal it.
Justice Sueing scored 14 points and grabbed 8 rebounds for Cal after scoring a career high 27 against UW. "So you know it just felt even more better, just seeing them that wanted me to break the record, so it was nice". "In the big games we've been in, he's been special this year". He scored 10 points in the prior 11 games when he suited up, but scored six points in the first half Thursday and finished 5-for-8 from the field.
"I was just ready", Sorkin said.
Arizona lost big to OR in Friday's game by 18 points, 62-44. She made one of two free throws with 17 seconds to go.
California 69, Washington 60: Kristine Anigwe had 26 points and 10 rebounds and Penina Davidson added 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting with nine boards to help California hold off Washington. Oregon State cut it to 75-73 on Stephen Thompson's 3 with 32 seconds left.
"It might have been fatigue, it might have been foul trouble", Wayne Tinkle said about allowing Arizona State's late surge. Evans made one of two free throws to give the Beavers a chance but Tinkle's 3 was way off the mark. "We just have to be better".
"They doubled the guy on the pick and roll, and I tried to read the guy's eyes, and I just read 'em", Alkins said. We're a better defensive team than that. It came in the form of a loss to Oregon State a week before.
OR vs Arizona live stream is on WatchESPN.
Despite the injury, Holder returned to the game shortly after, but managed to score just two points in the first half.
"Teams are slowing the game down against us, really taking their time on offense, having really long possessions, and everybody has been playing match-up zone", Trier said.
"[Oregon's] been the one team that's had some success coming in here, and they have a lot of confidence when they come in here, so we'll definitely be prepared for a battle Saturday", Trier said.
Up Next: The Ducks host No. 18 Arizona State in Matthew Knight Arena on Sunday (5 p.m., Pac-12 Network).

A common misconception is that 'succession' and 'retirement are interchangeable. Whilst retirement is undoubtedly a component of business succession planning, it should not be the focus. Succession planning is more about ensuring a business can continue to operate and prosper regardless of who is at the helm of the organisation or operation.
Succession planning isn't just something that a person approaching retirement age should consider. Anyone who has founded, owned or has a financial stake in a business should consider it a key focus.
Cosgriff Lawyers has extensive experience working with businesses of all sizes and structures to ensure an efficient and effective succession plan.

If you need ac repair, in Los Angeles then click now to learn more about us! . You just simply enter their license number and they will give you the information that you need. Not all AC repair companies in Los Angeles that are licensed are the best that you can get but at the very least it will help you disqualify the ones that you don’t want to do business with. So, you have asked about their education, their licensing, and if they are bonded and if you have made it this far then you need to talk to them about their previous experience. When you are searching for someone in Los Angeles to fix your AC, in Los Angeles you will want to know about what experience they have. This doesn’t mean you should exclude someone that is new in the business but if they are new you will want them to be working with a person who has the experience you require. You can’t fake experience, but just because they have been doing this kind of work for a long time don’t assume they know what they are doing as well. We suggest that you get some references prior you make the final decision. At this point, you have been able to assess the background and the legitimacy of the AC repair companies in Los Angeles that would love to do the AC repair. Now you want to appraise the professionalism of the companies and the people you have interviewed. Character is important, although, can be subjective and we urge that you go with your gut when you are evaluating a company to do the work for you. If you feel that they are not trustworthy then you should move on and keep on interviewing prospective vendors to make sure that you pick the right AC repair company in Los Angeles that best fits your needs. One thing that we forgot to bring up was that you want to make sure that they are insured and certified to work on the equipment that is installed in your home. You always hope that you don’t have to use your insurance but sometimes things don’t go as planned. In the event that something happens where the air conditioner contractor needs to use the companies insurance, so you don’t have to. It is in your best interest to make sure that they are insured. We think it might be beneficial to verify their coverage prior to starting any job that you might have, even if that does mean you might have to delay the work getting done by a day or two. The chances of needing that insurance is slim but you never know, and it is better to be safe than sorry. As far as certification goes, you want to double check that they are certified by the manufacturer and the reason is that if they work on your equipment which later fails, you might lose your warranty. It is important to research this when it comes to this specific issue, so take the time and protect your investment by doing your homework prior to having your ac repaired. Also, if you are thinking about trying to do the AC repair yourself here are some reasons as to why you shouldn’t! When repairing your AC unit you will be handling refrigerant, and the EPA will require you dispose of it and you must be certified to do so. Working on an AC system isn’t the simplest thing and it is very difficult when you think about all that is involved. You must think about the ductwork, the electrical and you must be aware of the environmental issues as well. We understand that you might want to save a few dollars and do the work yourself, but you run the risk of spending more money in the long-run and might end up damaging the AC system so much that you will have to replace the whole HVAC system!
If your AC needs to be fixed in Los Angeles you want to consider what questions you need to ask to hire the right AC repair company in Los Angeles. As you know there is not a shortage of AC repair companies in Los Angeles to choose from, so where do you start the process to hire a reliable contractor to fix or repair your air conditioner? We recommend that you start off with interviewing them before you commit to employing a company and here are some questions for you to ask.
The first question you need to ask them is about their schooling. You will want to ask what vocational school certification they have, where they went and for how long. You want to do this because when you are comparing one AC repairman to the other you want to get an idea of how dedicated they are to their craft. You will also want to ask about how frequently they review the latest technologies that are now available for the HVAC industry and when was the last time they went to get licensed on all of these latest technologies.
The next question you should want to ask is to know if they are bonded. If an air conditioner repair company is not bonded, then that would be a huge red flag! Being bonded means that if the air conditioner repair contractor in Los Angeles, doesn’t finish the job or fulfill the contract that you have signed with them you have legal protection against them. We highly recommend that you only work with bonded companies to protect your investment.
After you have enquired about their education and to know if they are bonded, the next question should be about their licensing. Any AC repair contractor in Los Angeles needs to be licensed if you want them to work on your AC. It is important to not trust what they are telling you after you enquire about their licensing, anybody can say they are licensed! You will want to verify with the contractor state license board in California and you can go here to do so, http://www.cslb.ca.gov/. You just simply enter their license number and they will give you the information that you need. Not all AC repair companies in Los Angeles that are licensed are the best that you can get but at the very least it will help you disqualify the ones that you don’t want to do business with.

Woman says Neil Armstrong gave her moon dust. She's suing NASA to keep it.
Laura Cicco claims the moonwalker gave her the memento when she was a child.
In a case that mixes nostalgia with serious questions about who is allowed to own materials brought back from space, a Tennessee woman is suing NASA to maintain possession of what she says is a vial of moon dust that astronaut Neil Armstrong gave her when she was 10 years old.
Cicco, then named Laura Murray, claims she received the memento while living with her family in Cincinnati. She maintains that Armstrong, who taught aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati at the time, had been a friend of her late father. Armstrong died in 2012.
A handwriting expert authenticated the signature on the note, said Cicco’s lawyer, Christopher McHugh of Kansas City, Missouri. Tests of the vial's contents found that "there is no evidence to rule out a lunar origin," according to the court documents, but terrestrial materials from Earth's crust were also identified in the sample.
Cicco told the Washington Post that she had lost track of the vial until five years ago, when she rediscovered it in her father’s belongings after his death, and that she had filed the suit in an effort to block NASA from trying to seize the moon dust.
The space agency declined a request by MACH to comment on the case, but it has a reputation for aggressiveness in its efforts to take possession of lunar samples held by private citizens. In one highly publicized case from 2011, NASA conducted a sting operation in Lake Elsinore, California, to seize paperweights containing slivers of moon rock that a 74-year-old woman was trying to sell.
“Lunar samples that have been collected by U.S. government missions are considered unique and limited natural resources,” said Michelle Hanlon, co-founder of For All Moonkind, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Apollo lunar landing sites. “NASA retains all lunar samples collected through U.S. government missions as NASA property.” Hanlon is not involved in the case.
The outcome of Cicco's case will hinge on whether Armstrong or the government owned the dust at the time it was given, according to Christopher Johnson, a professor of law at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and a space law expert. “If it’s the property of the U.S. government, he could not have passed it along to somebody else — he didn’t have the correct chain of custody or title for that,” said Johnson, who is not involved in the case.
If there are no federal statutes against private ownership of materials from space, other experts say international law may provide some guidance. The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, signed in 1967 and commonly called the Outer Space Treaty, prohibits governments from claiming territory on the moon and other celestial bodies. It is recognized by 107 countries, including the U.S. and Russia.
NASA now has 60 days to respond to the lawsuit.

When in Bali, don’t miss the food and when you think food, think eat street in Oberoi Seminyak also called Jalan Laksamana. When you check into the arms of the Oberoi or stay in Legian Seminyak, don’t forget to get a bite to eat at the “Reflections restaurant”, which is in walking distance from the main centre. The most famous eateries in Seminyak are Trattoria, Rumours and Ultimo, which are popular visits for locals and tourists alike 365 days a year.
Most restaurants such as Trattoria, Rumours and Ultimo would start with a welcome drink for free and present you with a menu offering lip smacking dishes. Menus that are a favourite with tourists include Belgian beers, fine wines and the mouth watering Beef Tenderloin wrapped in bacon.
You could also check out other local cuisines and eateries in the neighbourhood, which specialize in Thai food, such as the famous “Thai Express”. Dig your fangs into the delicious Kai Kapraw, which is basil based and made with chicken. Also the Tom Yum Goong is a spicy sweet and sour soup made from shrimps and finally don’t leave without having the best salad in south East Asia, the seafood bunch. Every meal is priced modestly and one wouldn’t for a moment feel bad on spending some cash for such delicacies, since every bite and penny is worth it.
Check another eatery in Legian, DROPS, which has an entrance built consisting of water and glass with a live pond below it. This restaurant is bang opposite of “Casa Padma” and while you eat there feel free to enjoy the scenery and tourists passing by. What served hot here are the STEAKS. You could also walk into the JP’s Warungclub in Dhyana Pura Street for an excellent evening out with family and close ones. The ambience is perfect and the staff is very customer centric. If you want to enjoy imported wines with seafood and delightful live music, then “Rumours and Ultimo” are the places you want to be every evening. The specialty in Ultimo is the famous plate of NASI GORENG (fried rice) and do not of course forget their Italian delicacies.
Two other new eateries in Dhyana Pura Seminyak are Menu restaurant and Passargard restaurant. Menu is run by a friendly Australian couple and offer great Western cooking. Passargard is situated next to Menu and is run by Iranians offering delicious dishes with their version of Spaghetti Seafood being our favourite.
Our next hotspot at eat street would be the Il Cielo, which is near to the hotel Vira Bali in Kartika Kuta. The place is so cosy that you would never want to leave it, even if it is long after you have had your fill. Talking about food here, the answer is one word, MARVELLOUS. Tourists throng this place for the famous pizza margarita and the Hatten Rose as starters.
So if you are in a mood to tickle your taste buds, you know now that EAT STREET beckons!!

Steve was entertaining and enlightening. As a writer, I truly was inspired by his insights into the writing process. And of course, I love the banjo!
This class helped me think about comedy as a science. Being able to dissect the different parts of the performance. Steve did a great job working with his students, during the case studies. Even though I wasn't in the room, I felt connected with the study group as though I was there.
One of the best descriptions of the life/life cycle of a performer I've ever heard. Thanks!
I totally get the part about being relevant and then being 'relaxed' (which isn't really) and confident. I was a mess and worked too hard to get a basic paycheck as a young adult. Now it is a bit funny (so to speak) that the more relaxed and less caring I am, the easier it is to work and get paid. (It is also nice to have a few things in your back pocket to fall on, I admit.) Love your job. Let the job work for you, not the other way around!
The Masterclass package has been the best Christmas gift I've ever received. Being able to learn all this from Steve Martin is blowing my mind.
I have to say I'm really enjoying just getting to hear Steve talk about his experiences ---- it's so nice that he can open up and share so much about his good and bad experiences along the way. Just like talking to a friend.
"There's many ways to self-define success. I've gone through many stages of it. Because at the same time you're saying, 'I'm on the cover of Time, I must be successful,' at the same time you're thinking, 'When's it all going to be over?'I'm thinking, 'Well, this happened. This happened, where I became successful.' You can notch that off, say, 'I never thought that would happen.' You could go, 'Yeah, I became successful. Now what happens? Now what is it, is it this for the rest of your life?' I had no clue. Fortunately I got into movies. So then you have a hit, 'Oh this is so great.' Then you have some flops.I kept thinking I was going to go away, but I never went away. So why am I wasting all that grief? W ust luck. There's this moment in this long career where you suddenly kind of relax in this strange way that you've never thought. You always thought you were relaxed before, but the truth was you're very nervous. Your big project comes up, you think about it for months and months and months. And then there's a sort of elegance - maybe it's age, or maybe it's continued success, or maybe it's some kind of weird confidence, even false confidence - where it actually started to become fun. You finish a show, and you just feel ecstatic. We're high, we discuss it - how about that, that moment. And then the next day, you start over. That high doesn't last you through the week. I'm at that stage now - maybe I've lost the feeling that I have to prove myself, and that's a big relief."
"Nothing in my house as a child contributed to my comedy. I talked about listening in the car radio as we'd make family trips, but that was silent. I'm listening and just loving these great performers. But my house was not an artistic household, at all. I got lucky in, one - I developed an interesting in comedy, magic, and performing. Great thing about magic is, you could buy a trick, and then it had instructions, and it had 'patter'. Patter means talking. And you'd say, 'The great Egyptian god Foo,' and you had your whole act kind of defined for you - you didn't have to think too much. I had heard about performers, and they had a funny joke - I didn't realize jokes were property. 'Well of course I can use that.' As I got into college, i met people who were inspirational to me. I got into a philosophy class - philosophy is about the willingness to think about anything, and break it down, and find out if it's true or false. And I started thinking that way, and I thought - what if I applied that to comedy? It helped me find something new about it, even if I'm making it up, even if it's incorrect. I thought, 'They love it when the tricks don't work.' So I started edging into like, from a serious magician - now I'm accidentally creating a variety show. Slowly, you're building. I became a comedy writer and I didn't know how to write a word. Now I have a little background in writing sketches, whatever. I quit and went on the road with my act. And out there, in all these little towns where you perform in a corner with no elevated stage, where you're running the lights yourself - everything meant something. Every lesson was learned, every drunk person was dealt with. You're getting this backlog of experience that you don't even know you have. 'I haven't done a play in - 35 years.' But, when I was 18, I worked for three years at Knott's Berry Farm, at a little theater where we did a play four times a day. I thought, 'This is exactly the same. Only the words are different.' How to not people intimidated by three people - or 18,000 people."
J.C. Sisco died peacefully yesterday in Riverview Hospital, surrounded by his loving family and another much larger family from Brooklyn who were visiting the patient in the other bed. J.C. died of a self-inflicted canon ball wound. He was forty-three years old but was reading at a forty-five year old level when he died. He is survived by his wife, daughter, and 6 billion other people on the planet - most of them taller than he. J.C made his living as an acrobat with Cirque Du Soleil and spent all his free time performing ballet with the Company of Dance Arts in Red Bank, NJ. Although he himself has never danced before, he has been familiar with the term "to dance" since the time he was three, when he saw a neighbor do it. Performing ran deep in J.C.'s family. His grandfather spent decades honing his craft in Vaudeville, where he was a narrator for bad mimes. His grandmother worked the carnival circuit as a psychic of sorts. She was a "peripheral visionary." She could see into the future but only way off to the sides. Jay trained as a high school actor under such stage and screen luminaries as Betty Bosworth Stein and Wolfgang Metterling, a half-brother and sister team who, in the forties, had pioneered the use of puffing out one's cheeks when playing a squirrel. J.C. got to earn his acting "chops" appearing in several high school musical classics such as Geese Aplenty, Those Who Prefer To Yodel, and My Mother's Gums, in which he played a strung-out string puppet who falls in love with a court stenographer, for which he received special recognition from the Old Bridge Elks Lodge. At the University of Pennsylvania J.C. continued to hone his craft, writing and appearing in a number of coffee house plays including My Brother Was an Only Child, The Christmas Boil, and Wither Thou Goest Cretin - a one man tour de force - Freudian thriller in which he played a seminary student with shingles who sells his soul to the devil for his health, and a big bag of waxed fruit. His performance credits with the Company of Dance Arts include six years of the Nutcracker, where he played Party Guest, progressing to Herr Stahlbaum, then regressing back to Party guest, a role he reprised four more times alternating between Father One and Father Two despite "thinning hair" and a noticeable limp he endured for many years after a very bad speed-reading accident left him partially paralyzed from the feet down. J.C. also performed the Courtier on two occasions in The Sleeping Beauty, once forgetting to wear underwear under his tights. J.C. will long be remembered for his untiring charity work, especially his annual canned goods drive for homeless penguins, and his ironic view of life that didn't see the glass as half full or half empty, merely twice as big as it should be. Services will be held at Johnson's Funeral Home in Spring Lake, NJ - whose motto is "We make dying fun!"
This lesson is really useful, thank you. Sometimes I get frustrated and angry about the grind and the struggle... but this perspective helps me to understand that this is the time when I am learning skills that will stand me in good stead... like determination and humility and discipline. The point is not for it to be easy.

I have the most amazing life.
This is a game I play. It’s like flexibility training for desire and imagination. It cultivates internal resilience, curiosity, and confidence. It releases anxiety and prevents your inner bully from jumping up and smooshing your ideas. It unleashes the power of curiosity and pleasure, so you can taste pure, open possibility. It’s a little intoxicating.
And because the writing feels insufficient, I am sharing an audio clip with you, even though there are parts that make me cringe. But now almost a week has passed and when I try to re-record it I can’t seem to capture the quality of playfulness in the sound. So I’m going to release this work in progress.
Had an email exchange with a new friend about what to do when feeling overwhelmed, or unclear about what you want. Or when you want lots of things, and they seem incompatible or mutually exclusive.
Instead of writing back, I decided to record my thoughts. I was walking down Van Ness after teaching class, and it was a bit windy, so that’s the whooshy interference (sorry). I tried re-recording, but I just liked the energy of this first take, so I’m offering it here.

At the height of World War ll, American propagandists coined the phrase, “Loose Lips Sink Ships”, as reminder to servicemen and general citizens to refrain from the sort of lose talk that might compromise important information that might later be used by the enemy.
For today’s Managed Service Provider (MSP), the phrase still resonates. Now, it isn’t necessarily careless talk that endangers your community of customers. Rather, it is the remarkably large number of unsecured networks that leave businesses vulnerable to outside attack.
Consider the highly publicized hack of Target. The security breach at Target was executed through one of their suppliers, a small business. How can this be? The answer is remarkably simple: most SMB’s consider themselves to be too small to be a viable target for hackers. In fact, according, to a 2012 National CyberSecurity Alliance poll, fully half of respondents described themselves as being too small to merit an attack.
The bad guys know this and are willing to take full advantage of the situation – as many as two thirds of cyber breaches occur at companies with fewer than 100 employees. That’s eye popping. Especially when you consider the fact that, if there is a security breach, the MSP is, ultimately, the one who will be held responsible.
However, this can be easily remedied.
A simple investment in remote monitoring and management software will help close security gaps, regardless of the size of your shop. All you do is purchase the service and they do the serious work of making you look like a hero.
When you purchase RMM software, you are guaranteed services, like weekly maintenance, that will automatically scan the network for new devices, open network ports, adware, Trojans and malware – giving you access to a wide variety of 3rd party tools that will help you stay a step ahead of hackers. These automated services will also perform tasks such as clearing temporary folders and unused programs from a user’s computer and updating anti-virus- and other types of software on a regular basis. They can also help you better manage your firewalls too.

Good books about food and ethics?
Best critical/theoretical stuff written on VR?
Working on a project and am looking for good examples of net art/story telling works. Any suggestions?
Most exciting critical writings on #VR you've come across?
Favorite artworks made using instructions?
Research advice: I'm looking for work (writing but also films/ art etc) that considers the relationship between care / love and rage (also revenge). Especially interested in queer and decolonial perspectives.
I feel like loads of u are also into this and would love any suggestions at all.
I am teaching a class this summer called "Digital Futures." It is going to be a seminar-style class where I'm making students read a lot of books about "the future" and then talk about technology, ethics, their relation to the world, and all of that fun stuff.
So if you have any favorite books (fiction, nonfiction, theoretical), games, or films about "the future" please post them in the dang comments.
I need your suggestion, you wise and brilliant minds! I'm preparing a talk about all things underground (nuclear, drilling, mining, data archive in salt mines, etc) for #res17 anyone knows of artworks dealing with the topic?
Can anyone suggest artists working with plant life or fungus, growing, breeding, cultivating?
Every time I teach at an artschool in Europe I notice that the students are not actively following what is happening in pop music video cultures - there seems to be some kind of taboo. So I had my Merzakademie students make a playlist of recent (post digital) videos generated on edge of pop and internet cultures. I think it is a really good start.
I am looking for some fantastic and terrible examples of 'artist statements'.
I'd be keen to track down examples where the rules have been bent/broken (1st/2nd/3rd person pronouns; art writerly; weird but brilliant etc.). I will be teaching a workshop to 31 students and want to keep them on their toes.
A 'reading group' where we watch 80s body-horror films and listen to early Prince tracks. But critical, nonetheless.

Ontology is the most fundamental branch of Metaphysics, the study of Being and Existence, as well as the basic Categories of things in general. A Being is anything that can be said to 'be' in various senses of the word 'be'. The verb "to be" has many different meanings and can therefore be rather ambiguous, and because "to be" has so many different meanings, there are, accordingly, many different ways of Being.
Aristotle described Ontology as "the Science of Being qua Being." The word "qua", by the way, means "with regard to the aspect of". Accordingly, Ontology is the Science of Being with regard to the aspect of Being, the study of beings in-so-far as they exist. Even more precisely, Ontology concerns how we determine what Categories of Being are, which are fundamental, and whether or not, and in what sense, items in those categories can be said to "be."
Different philosophers have made various lists of the fundamental Categories of Being throughout the History of Philosophy. Before the rise of the Sciences in the Western Renaissance, Ontology, taken with Metaphysics more generally, was the central focus of philosophical concern. One strong reason was because this directly related to Theology (or the Philosophy of Religion) and the existence of God. Science directly challenged these connections, and slowly, Ontology was reduced to an historical curiosity. Representative ontological thought is readily cited, but ground-breaking work is found in Plato, Aristotle, Neoplatonism, Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas Aquinas, Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Leibniz, Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, to name a few. In Modern Philosophy and Contemporary Philosophy, Ontology was taken up by physicists who were already asking very similar questions using the Scientific Method.
To be sure, Ontology is being done today, though not under its ancient name. It is found in many branches of Physics and the other Sciences. Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, and Quantum Philosophy in general, are direct descendants of the ontological traditions, which naturally grew beyond the historical distinctions between Universals and Particulars, into questions of Particle States, Dimensions and Probabilities. The basic ontological questions of the nature of Existence are even more relevant to Quantum Mechanics today, as notions of solid Matter and any distinct, separate existence of Objects are challenged by the new discoveries.
Even in areas seemingly unrelated to Philosophy, such as Computer Science, Ontology is about asking what a Programming "object" is (not an easy question to answer, given various programming languages, schemas, and practices), and what types of computer Architectures are to be used. In areas like Marketing or Sales, ontological issues lie right at the heart of what a "Brand" is, and how to deal with "Brand Names" and even "Product Lines", not to mention the Legal connections with Intellectual Property and Management connections with "Business Processes". In Business as well as Government, ontological questions abound about the use and Management of Information, and how to gain a competitive advantage over an opponent or adversary though the manipulation of Information, either in a Public Relations sense, or in a Warfare one.
The Objecthood or "Problem of Substance"
Is it possible to give an account of the existence of physical Objects?
Is Existence a Property, Substance, or State?
When does an object go out of Existence, as opposed to Change?

"Anything else you're trying to do in your life – you just have to put it on hold. Everything else stops while you try to work out where you'll be living."
When Penny received a $100 rent increase notice in the middle of last year she thought this seemed excessive. She tried to negotiate with the landlord. In response she received an email telling her she was being evicted: "we feel that the tenancy has reached the end of its life".
When she was evicted Penny had been living in her Marrickville home for 5 years – with her partner Warren and their 7 month old baby Benji.
What does your home mean to you... comfort, security, shelter? Now ask yourself, how would you feel if you were told you had to leave and never told why?
For the 2 million+ renters in NSW our rental property is our home.
Currently if you rent your home in NSW you can be evicted without being given a reason. This means renters can – and do – get kicked out for things like asking for basic repairs or questioning a steep increase in the rent. Or simply because their landlord doesn’t like them. It also means many renters live in fear of losing their home and just don’t ask for their legislated rights like maintenance or repairs to be carried out.
When someone is evicted it hurts the whole community. Communities lose neighbours and friends. They lose workers, volunteers, community members – the local footie coach, the coordinator at the Council community garden, their kids’ best friends.
When someone is evicted there is always a reason. We want to make sure it’s a good one.
Join us in calling for a change to tenancy law so that when someone is evicted there is always a good reason… and a real opportunity to challenge the eviction when there is not.

Making You Aware … To Prepare.
The time to prepare is now – before the earthquake strikes.
Join Jackie Kloosterboer, author of My EarthquakePr eparedness Guide, on Tuesday, February 6, 2018 at 7:00pm at Pemberton Heights Community Hall (2260 Philip Ave, North Vancouver). She will be talking about her new book and giving you valuable tips on preparing your family’s emergency plan.
Presentation is free but pre-registration is required.
Email pam@are-you-prepared.ca or call 604-763-6777 to register!
When facing an earthquake, you your family and pets may be on your own for 72 hours or longer, you will not be able to run out and get the supplies you need, connecting with your family may be next to impossible if cell phones are not working, if our roads and bridges are damaged you may not even be able to get home to your family and pets. What about you, your family, your pets, how will you survive it?
This session will teach you how to be prepared for any emergency or disaster you may be faced with whether you are at home or work. You will learn personal and family preparedness, what to do when the earth starts moving, how to connect with your family after an earthquake, how to perform a “home hazard hunt” and how to prepare your pets. If you are a business owner – you will want to ensure your staff is prepared both at home and work. The longer it takes for our businesses to get up and running after an earthquake the less likely our business will fully recover. If your staff is prepared this could help make it easier for them to return to work.
Living on the West Coast, we know it’s only a matter of time till the “Big One” strikes – what do you have to do to get your family and pets prepared?
The time to prepare is now – once the earthquake strikes it will be too late!
Jackie Kloosterboer has been leading the way in emergency preparedness for over 20 years. Jackie presents more than 100 Emergency Preparedness sessions each year to individuals and business groups, taking them step by step through the process of how to prepare their family members and pets for whatever disaster comes their way. She is often interviewed by a variety of media outlets across Canada as she promotes the importance of Emergency Preparedness.
An instructor with the Justice Institute of BC Jackie travels across Canada teaching volunteers how to respond to disasters to help those who have impacted. Throughout British Columbia she has taken on leadership roles to assist those who have been impacted by disaster.

I’ve written bits and pieces about my favorite year-round farmers market in this space (hello, The Painted Truffle), but in my column in the February 1 issue of US 1, I give the lowdown on everything it has to offer, including the best bbq in the area (to eat in or take out) and exciting plans, expansions, and changes underway.
I’m talking, of course, about the continuously evolving Stockton Farm Market, which also has going for it that it is totally indoors, is open 3 days a week, and is located in a charming NJ river town.
Pictured above: the headlined marmalade, from Simple Living 101. Below are just a few of the mushrooms at the Chettie’s table – which also had fresh black truffles for sale the day I took this photo.
And speaking of US 1, my cover story last week previewing NOFA-NJ’s winter conference drew 100 walk-in registrations according to the NOFA staff! Total attendance was around 525, their highest ever. If you were among the 100, thank you! Feel free to comment here on your experience.

Are those JERSEY truffles, Pat? and if so, how do they compare with those from France, Italy or (dare I say) Oregon?
June: I didn’t actually buy them – in fact, I didn’t even ask the price because I didn’t want to be tempted. But they looked like bona fide European black truffles to me. Now you’ve gone and given me an excuse to indulge: it’s work-related research, after all! It may take me a while (and I don’t know how often the truffles are there), but I’ll dutifully report back as soon as I can. Btw: Jersey truffles? Is there really such a thing????
