Here we examine the practical importance of identifying and expressly examining ethical issues that must be faced in policy formation as policy is debated and unfolds.
What distinguishes ethical issues from economic and scientific arguments about climate change is that ethics is about duties, obligations, and responsibilities to others while economic and scientific arguments are usually understood to be about “value-neutral” “facts” which once established have usually been deployed in arguments against action on climate change based upon self-interest. For instance, proponents of climate change often argue that costs of action to reduce the threat of climate change to a nation such as the United States should not be accepted because it is not in the US economic interest.
II. The Consequence For Policy Of Ignoring Ethical Issues.
Those opposing climate change policies on ethically dubious grounds will not be challenged on the basis of their ethically problematic positions.
Those making economic arguments based upon short-term narrow self-interest will not be forced to admit that those causing climate change have duties, responsibilities, and obligations to others who can do little to reduce climate change’s threat but who are most vulnerable to climate change’s harshest consequences.
The ethical dimensions of economic arguments will remain hidden in public debates in cases where economic arguments against climate change policies appear to based on “value-neutral” economic “facts” although the calculations of the “facts” contain ethically dubious calculation procedures such as: (a) discounting future benefits that make benefits to others experienced in the middle to long-term virtually worthless as a matter of present value. (b) economic arguments usually only calculate the value of things harmed by climate change on the basis of market-value thus translating all things including human life, plants, animals, and ecological systems into commodity value, or (c) the economic calculations often ignore distributive justice issues including the fact that some people and places will be much more harshly impacted by climate change than others.
Important ethical issues entailed by decision-making in the face of scientific uncertainty will remain hidden including: (a) Who should have the burden of proof? (b) What quantity of proof should satisfy the burden of proof when decisions must be made in the face of scientific uncertainty? (c) Whether the victims of climate change have a right to participate in decisions that must be made in the face of uncertainty? and, (d) Whether those causing climate change have obligations to act now because if the world waits to act until all uncertainties are resolved it will likely be too late to prevent catastrophic impacts to others and to stabilize greenhouse gas atmospheric concentrations at safe levels?
Because no national, regional, local, business, organization, or individual climate change strategy makes sense unless it is understood to be implicitly a position on its duties and obligations to others to prevent climate change, whether the strategy is just or fair in relationship to the entity’s obligations to others will go unexamined.
Given that the world needs a global solution to climate change, and that only just solutions to climate change are likely to be embraced by most governments, barriers to finding an acceptable global solution will continue.
Unjust climate change policies will be pursued that exacerbate existing injustices in the world.
Because those who cause climate change are ethically responsible for damages caused by them, funding for adaptation projects needed by those most vulnerable to climate change will not be generated.
Because no nation may ethically use as an excuse for non-action on climate change that it need not reduce its greenhouse gases to its fair share of safe global emissions until other nations act, nations will continue to inappropriately refuse to act on the basis that other nations have not acted.
Because the amount of reductions that nations should achieve should be based upon principles of distributive justice and not-self interest, nations will continue to make commitments to reduce their emissions based upon self-interest rather than what is their fair share of safe global emissions.
What greenhouse gas atmospheric concentration stabilization goal should be agreed to by all nations?
What is each nation’s fair share of safe global emissions?
Who is responsible for paying for the costs of climate change adaptation needs or damages in poor, vulnerable nations?
Ethical issues that arise when arguments are made against action on the basis of scientific uncertainty or cost to national economies?
Are individuals, sub-national governments, organizations, and businesses responsible for climate change?
What ethical issues arise from the solutions to climate change such as geo-engineering, nuclear power, or biofuels, just to name a few?
Are nations responsible for historical emissions?
These and other very challenging ethical questions need to be faced when climate change policies are developed. Yet a reasonable question might be asked at this stage about whose ethics should count in resolving these questions given that there are different ethical theories that are supported by different people that might reach different conclusions about what ethics requires.
For some climate change ethical questions, there is an overlapping consensus among ethical theories about what ethics requires.
For some climate change issues, ethics issue spotting sometimes leads to conflicts among ethical theories about what ethics requires.
For some climate change issues, ethical issue spotting may lead to disagreement among ethical theories about what should be done yet very strong agreement that some positions taken on these issues are ethically bankrupt even though there is disagreement on what ethics requires.
Although it is beyond the scope of this paper, there are some climate change ethical issues about which there appears to be agreement about what ethics requires. For instance, most cultures and religions support variations of the golden rule that holds that individuals should not be able to severely harm others because of economic self-interest, polluters should pay for harm that they caused, and nations should prevent their citizens from harming others beyond their boarders.
More importantly, even on matters about which there are legitimate differences about what ethics requires, there appears to be ethical agreement that the position of some nations are ethically bankrupt despite disagreement about what ethics requires.
For this reason, ethical issue spotting often can lead to narrowing positions in contention to those that pass minimum ethical scrutiny. For this reason alone, spotting the ethical issues that arise in policy formation may be key to making progress.
And so, perhaps the most important practical consequence of spotting the ethical issues raised by climate change is that failure to do so will likely create a missed opportunity to make progress to an urgently needed global solution.

The Whypass Trail System west of Lorane started years ago as an unsanctioned trail network for local riders. As the area expanded, Disciples of Dirt, Eugene's local mountain bike club, began a dialog with private and federal landowners in an attempt to legitimize and protect the great singletrack that its members had worked so hard to create and maintain. In the Summer of 2013 the Whypass Trail System successfully made it through the appeal period of the BLM's environmental assessment, and it became a legitimate recreation area. Thanks to the Disciples, this temple of trails will continue to provide an uplifting experience to all who worship here for years to come.
Currently there is no official map of the area, and the sprawling trail system is unsigned. This should not prevent adventurous riders from exploring the area. Basically, all the trails loop out from (and back to) Carpenter Bypass Road, which serves as the main artery for Whypass. There are often other riders at "The Pile," the main parking area (so named for the huge pile of gravel, used for logging roads in the area, that graces the parking lot) who are usually happy to help newcomers find their way around.
The riding is predominately smooth singletrack that snakes through various stages of tree plantations. There are also a few jump trails. Some of the trails are on private timber company land and may have closures for logging and during fire season. Because it is imperative to maintain a good relationship with land managers, users must respect all signed closures. If you want to become involved in building and maintaining the trails, the Disciples of Dirt hold a number of scheduled rides and events at Whypass and are always looking for help with trail maintenance.
Close to Eugene. Fun singletrack. Rideable in winter.

This isn’t just a quote, but an amazing reality that we all are living every day. Yes, ageing is not in our control but taking care of our looks and skin are manageable.
Now, the question arises, how do you feel about your skin? Is it not healthy enough or it is too dull to be called pretty? We all go through problems of managing our day to day tasks but forget to give enough to our skin.
The point here is that you need to keep your skin healthy to feel wealthy. Supported by American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), National Healthy Skin Month is observed in November. It is to make sure that we realise the importance of the biggest part of our body and how to keep it healthy, alive, and awesome.
Here are some tips to keep in mind while you give a thought to your skin.
Our skin needs to breathe and so from time to time, it needs to be hydrated. Your body needs at least 2-3 litres of water every day to regulate daily tasks and different body functions. So, drink as much water as you can but make sure that you also don’t drink too much of it.
Everyone is different, so their needs are also different with regards to food, fashion, and water. Determine your limit and drink.
With depleting ozone layer, increasing pollution, harmful products, and ultraviolet rays of the sun, it is quite necessary to take care of your meaningful skin.
Find out what your skin needs!
Every skin type is different and so are their needs. Determine what your skin type is (Oily, dry or sensitive), and use skin care products accordingly. If you know what your skin needs, then half of the problems will already be solved.
Cleanliness is necessary, whether it’s your skin or anything. Take baths, wash your face whenever you come from outside or after exercising. Use a moisturiser to make sure that your skin doesn’t go dry or damp after baths.
Smoking is harmful to everything that belongs to your body. If you love to invite cancer and ageing at an early age, then you may continue to poison your system. Secondly, you need to limit your alcohol consumption. It dehydrates and damages your skin. So, drink less and with respect to your looks, you will feel blessed.
Exercise regularly and eat healthy!
Exercising regularly and maintaining a diet that is healthy will also benefit you with fruitful results. It not only increases your stamina or offers you an enthusiastic feel but it will also provide you with a healthy skin and a youthful experience and ageing won’t knock on your door too early.
An average adult body has 16-22 square feet of skin (approx), which accounts for 15% of the body weight.
A larger part of dust that you find in your home is actually made up of dead skin cells.
Our skin sheds around 30,000 cells every minute.
It is home to millions of bacteria comprising of thousand species.
Our skin serves as a protective barrier. It maintains the level of water and also keeps the harmful particles away from the body.
The damaged skin heals itself by forming scars. Scar tissues are different from the normal skin. They lack sweat glands and hair.
So, instead of giving too much attention to your unnecessary wants, give something to your needs. Help your skin to rejuvenate and become healthy.
Give your skin a chance to live.

It’s been a story which has bounced around the sporting press over the last 48 hours and now it seems as though Lucas Perri’s move from São Paulo to Crystal Palace is set to be finalised with the 21-year-old having flown in to London for a medical yesterday.
The former Brazilian under-20 International will arrive at Selhurst Park with a bright reputation in his native country and a desire to prove himself in the Premier League, even though he is likely to find himself behind at least one of his new teammates in the pecking order when Palace’s goalkeeping cohort returns to full strength.
With the initial agreement between the two clubs being a loan, it’s difficult to know how much game-time Perri will be afforded in SE25 between now and May but I would certainly hope to see him tested out once or twice between now and the end of the season, should a feasible opportunity arise. Without a decent idea of how the young stopper copes with the stresses of first-team football on these shores, it’ll be bordering on impossible to know whether or not he warrants the outlay of a permanent fee in the summer; not to mention the fact that the man himself is hardly going to be sold on making the move a long-term one if he isn’t sure of getting minutes in the years to follow.
Palace’s move for Perri is one being made out of necessity first and foremost but ideally, it’ll prove to be the kick we as a club have needed to secure the well-being of our number one slot for the foreseeable future. With Vicente Guaita now 32 and Perri some 11 years his junior, the ideal scenario would see the pair of them sharing first-team duties for the next two or three years before the Brazilian takes over the reigns on a full-time basis.
As we all know, carefully made plans such as this seldom come to fruition but it’s nice to see the framework for such a path laid out in front of us as things stand. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long for an official announcement to be made by those behind the scenes at Selhurst.

Research by NASA on the air-filtering effect of house plants concluded as early as 1989 that they are a powerful means to remedy indoor air pollution.
The first list of the best house plants for this purpose was compiled as part of the NASA Clean Air Study. It researched simple, sustainable ways to clean air on space stations. Under NASA’s controlled conditions, certain house plants were found to remove as much as 87 percent of indoor air pollutants within 24 hours.
The air cleaning capability of plants maintained within a closed living environment goes far and beyond simple removal of carbon dioxide (which humans and animals exhale) and replacing it with clean oxygen. House plants also have the remarkable ability to remove toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from the air. These chemicals can be a particular health hazard for those living or working in newly built residential homes, apartments, and commercial office space.
It wasn’t until the 1980’s when indoor air pollution suddenly became a health issue that needed to be addressed. The energy shortages of the 1970’s triggered the crisis as more people began to insulate their homes and office buildings. The reason? To conserve energy and lower heating and cooling costs. New construction was built to be especially energy efficient. Prior to that, buildings leaked so much air that sufficient circulation occurred even with doors and windows closed.
“Sick building syndrome” is the term used to describe the symptoms of those suffering the negative health effects of toxic indoor air from breathing outgassed chemicals. It also describes the illness suffered by those living in buildings contaminated by mold. Unfortunately, house plants cannot counteract this contaminant.
In addition to outgassed chemicals from the construction process, commonly used household consumer products play a role in poor air quality. They can contribute to indoor air pollution with carcinogenic xylene, toluene, and ammonia. Primary sources are aerosols and spray cans.
Replacement of these toxic consumer products with green alternatives is the best solution. Sometimes, however, this goal is not possible in a family or roommate situation. Occasionally, people living under the same roof do not share the same environmental worldview. In that situation, the beneficial air-filtering effects of house plants are most desperately needed. This is especially true given that most of us spend 80-90% of our time indoors!
How Many House Plants Necessary to Clean the Air?
NASA researchers suggest that the optimal air-filtering effect is achieved with at least one potted plant per 100 square feet of home or office space (1). One large plant or several smaller ones can be used for a spacious area such as the family room. Either scenario is effective depending on what works best for a given decorating scheme.
It is optimal for the house plant to be potted in a healthy soil mix. Air plants or those growing with roots in water such as bamboo are not as helpful. This is due to additional research which demonstrated that specific plants are not the only living things that can remove benzene from the air. Beneficial microbes in the soil are able to remove it too (2).
Probiotics at work to improve our health once again!
Why would NASA study house plants instead of just going with the high tech solution for space travel: air purifying equipment? For one thing, air purifiers require maintenance. This means parts for when they break down along with periodic filter replacement. And, dirty filters mean garbage which can be a complicated problem to solve in space. In addition, air filters only purify the air. They don’t create oxygen like plants do. Sometimes you just can’t replace what Mother Nature can do – even in outer space!
Back here on earth, air purifiers work fine for ensuring clean, safe air to breath in the home or at the office. From a practical perspective, however, plants are a much cheaper and feng shui approach, wouldn’t you agree?
In reality, it’s probably a mix of air purifiers and house plants that will ultimately do the trick for most people. NASA’s guideline of one plant per 100 square feet can add up to a lot of plants in a hurry! In our home, we have air filters and plants strategically placed to achieve the desired air cleaning effect.
The amazing ability of house plants to clean the air has been apparent to me for many years. I noticed that they were important to indoor air even before I was aware of the compelling research on the subject. This is because the air filters we use have a setting which detects how much cleaning the air needs with an automatic fan speed adjustment. In the areas of our home with plants, the fan speed always seem to automatically adjust lower than those areas without plants!
So which plants are the best for cleaning the air and what chemicals do they remove? The infographic below used with the permission of Barratt Homes illustrates this information in an easily understandable way. It includes helpful pictures of the plants themselves and the care required to maintain them.
What house plants have you had the best luck with in your home environment? I am currently using the Lilyturf and Devil’s Ivy among a few other plants not on this list. I’ve also had very good luck growing the Broadleaf Lady Palm and English Ivy.

Alan Tangren says some of the best local red rasberries usually have a smal crop early in summer, but the main crop starts in mid-August. The late crop will continue until the rain starts in fall.
Dear Alan: I love raspberries and have noticed that much of the year they come from Mexico. What is the best time for local raspberries?
Alan: Raspberries are one of the most delicious, and fragile, fruits that we find in the market.
The first summertime basket of bright, aromatic raspberries on my kitchen counter is an invitation to put them in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with sugar and drizzle with good, thick cream.
As you mentioned, more and more raspberries are being imported from Mexico, Chile and even New Zealand in our winter months. These berries must be picked before they reach perfect ripeness, and are never as good as fresh, local berries.
There are at least 100 varieties of raspberries available to local commercial growers and home gardeners. Most shoppers are familiar with red raspberries, but they also come in delicious colors of black, yellow, gold, apricot and purple.
Some of the best local red raspberries have a small crop in early summer, but their main crop starts in mid-August. This late crop continues until the first big rains of fall.
Right now, I like to combine raspberries in desserts with late summer nectarines and peaches. The tart flavor of the berries really accentuates the sweetness of the stone fruits.
I can’t imagine wasting an August without crisp and cobbler combining raspberries and nectarines. And I always make a fresh version of Peach Melba; vanilla ice cream smothered with sliced peaches, raspberries and raspberry sauce.
For a wintertime treat, you can preserve raspberries in brandy. Fold the preserved berries into chocolate desserts, spoon over ice cream, or use in a sauce.
To make, fill a quart jar with raspberries. Add 1 cup of sugar and cover with brandy or Cognac. Close the jar and let it sit for four days. Shake the jar during this time to make sure sugar is dissolved. These will keep until next raspberry season!
Because they are so fragile, most local raspberries are sold in the nearly-ubiquitous plastic “clamshell” with the little absorbent pad in the bottom. These hold about 1-1/2 cups of fruit.
Some raspberries, especially at farmers markets, may be in shallow cardboard baskets. Don’t buy those that are stained with the juice of crushed berries.
Choose berries that look velvety and plump. Check carefully for mold, which often starts growing in the stem cavity and may be hard to detect.
One moldy berry can ruin the flavor of a bowlful.
Don’t try to store raspberries for very long. As soon as you get them home, open the basket and carefully pour out the berries onto a shallow pan lined with paper towels. Remove any stray stems or leaves.
Refrigerate or freeze right away. Frozen berries should be bagged airtight.
I never wash raspberries before use. I only buy those that have never been sprayed. If you must, give them a quick rinse in a colander under a stream of cold water.
Fresh raspberry sauce is an easy and quick garnish for ice cream, summer fruits and cakes. It couldn’t be easier to make.
Purée the berries, sugar in a food processor or blender. Use a flexible silicone spatula to press the purée through a non-reactive strainer to remove the seeds.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice and sugar. Thin with water if needed. Cover and refrigerate until using. Will keep for three days in the refrigerator, longer in the freezer.

[New for 2012] That's right, June 2012 blizzard of the month is the brand new Turtle Brownie with Pecan blizzard. Some of you might be thinking "hey, that sounds oddly familiar?". Well, you are partially right. January 2010 gave us the Turtle Pecan blizzard which had the same base ingredients except now we've got brownies in the mix.
So here is the official view.
And here's my treat from Monday!
I know the pictures never match up, but I think mine technically looks better. Notice theirs has just big chunks and an off-white base because of the caramel swirl. Yes it's tasty looking, but notice in mine how the brownie bits (and some pecan shell) have been blended into oblivion. That can be a bad thing, but here it's not. Just like the Reese's blizzard, this overblending helps spread the flavor and make ever bite enjoyable. They must blend up a bunch of the brownies first and then they throw in a small second group of them with a bunch of pecans for a mild blending so that they stay whole.
Yes, that's right, the pecans stay whole and they add a wonderful soft crunch to every bite. I got at least one if not 2 or 3 in every scoopful. I always forget what a mild flavor pecans have, or how soft they are, but it totally works in softserve. The funny thing is that this should be the Pecan Brownie Blizzard with Turtles... no wait, that's not right. My point is the Pecans are numero uno here, they are backed up by an understated brownie flavor, and then there is a hint of sweet caramel to tie it all together. This tastes like a pecan brownie, and that's a good thing.
I liked this blizzard, I really did. I saw some comments of people thinking it was tame or boring, but apparently they've never had nuts in their brownies. I'm 90% sure we use to have pecan brownies as kids and they were awesome. That cool combo is captured here and I enjoyed every scoop. It wasn't too sweet, too crunchy, too chewy, just a nice homage to a different kind of brownie.
I liked this one so much, I went back on Tuesday to try it in chocolate.
On Second Scoop: Behold a Chocolate Turtle Brownie with Pecan Blizzard Treat! Again we are greeted with whole pecans and brownie bits everywhere. Just like pretty much every other blizzard I've tried with chocolate softserve, everything gets drowned out by the chocolate. Sure, it's still fairly tasty, and I still enjoyed it, but the caramel flavor is obliterated, the brownie vibe is buried, and the delicate pecans are crunchy but mostly unflavored. Maybe with a twist (half vanilla/half chocolate) we could strike a balance, but I don't think I should be hitting DQ for a third day in a row to try out my theory. You are welcome to try this blizzard either way, but I would go vanilla. Don't miss this one.
I FINALLY made it to DQ just in time for this treat and wow were you right! I too got a mix of blended pecans and brownies and then large chunks of each in my blizzard. It was all about the mixins with a side note of caramel which is the way it should be. Tasted just like a delicious nutty brownie!!
Just came across your blog and have enjoyed reading the reviews! I tried this month's Choc Turtle Brownie w/Pecan Blizzard @ DQ ,and while it was good, I think I still prefer the Georgia Mud Fudge, which is similar except that it does not contain caramel. I usually ask for choc ice cream when ordering choc-based blizzards, but the addition of fudge in the GMF means it is chocolatey enough, even when ordering vanilla ice cream!

David Tattersall talks about “Into the CLOUD with FusionReactor (ColdFusion Application Performance Monitor)” in this episode of ColdFusion Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.
When was FR CLOUD launched?
Daily deployment and improvements (no version numbers) – it is a SaaS!
How was CFCAMP this year?
Jetty – Eclipse Jetty provides a Web server and javax.servlet container, plus support for HTTP/2, WebSocket, OSGi, JMX, JNDI, JAAS and many other integrations.
since August of this year, we've actually been running it for about one and a half years, actually, we had a closed beta, where we had a number of customers that showed interest in the cloud, they were participating in the pizza. But we've been we've pushed it officially, officially, along with fusion reactor seven, which was in August of this year, what does cloud do so basically, even think of cloud as extending a fusion reactor on premise. So if you take a cloud licensee, if you purchase the cloud license, then you get fusion reactor on premise, just like you had before. And you also get a fusion reactor Cloud account.

With fall weather just around the corner, it’s a great opportunity to set up the outside of your home with fall decorations. Sprucing up your replacement windows and doors with some simple and unique designs can be a good way to start off the season and get excited for scarves, sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes.
This project will add fantastic curb appeal to your home’s windows or doors, depending on where you want to hang the garland. Regardless of where it goes, all this project takes is a few easy steps: determine the length of your rope (outlining your windows or door) with a few added inches to get a droopy effect, and affix corn husks to the rope with a hot glue gun. Put up your new garland to accentuate your home access points!
Take the beautiful fall colors and transform them into a DIY wreath to put on your door. You’ll need a wooden stick wreath, burlap, artificial fall foliage, scissors and a glue gun. Here are the steps: Cut the burlap into four 4x4-inch squares. Then, fold and glue the burlap squares around the wreath while gluing foliage by the burlap pieces.
And while creating unique and colorful outdoor decorations is a simple way to get into the season spirit, don’t forget to prepare your replacement doors and windows for the colder weather, too. They might look fantastic, but if your doors and windows are old or unprepared for the impending winter weather, they could let in cold drafts and leave you feeling cool in the upcoming months. Call our team at Pella Windows and Doors at 507-625-6933 or visit our showroom in Mankato for all your replacement windows and door needs, or for more unique DIY fall project ideas.

Architectural trends: Is it time to abandon the ‘tyranny’ of the open floor plan?
Much has been written about the open floor plan: how it came to be, why it is bad (or good), whether it should or shouldn’t be applied to existing housing. The open floor plan as we currently understand it — an entry-kitchen-dining-living combination that avoids any kind of structural separation between uses — is only a few decades old. Prior to the last 25 years, an “open floor plan” meant a living configuration without doors; now the term has come to mean a living configuration without walls. I will refer to the latter from now on as an “open concept,” in order to differentiate it from a traditional open floor plan.
In a recent essay in The Atlantic, Ian Bogost described a new luxury concept called the “mess kitchen” — a second kitchen out of sight from the main kitchen and the rest of the open plan. He cited it to demonstrate why the open floor plan and its rhetoric around “entertaining” have reached new levels of absurdity. However, to me, the mess kitchen offers hope for a transitional period where open spaces may become closed again. That this would start with the kitchen is not surprising. Historically, the kitchen was the last room to be integrated into the open concept. Living and dining rooms began to converge as early as the beginning of the 1900s, when changes in architectural taste and the development of mass-industrialized housing production favored a more compact home design than the rambling, formal “hall-and-parlor” layout of Victorian times.
Upper-class Victorian homes featured large entertaining spaces.
However, in the homes of the working and lower-middle classes, these same factors of social change and modernization created an opposite progression. The story of common houses is a story of walls. The number of rooms in working-class homes increased with the number of products and amenities that became readily affordable through industrialization, modernization, and mass production. The common house, as well as working-class living environments such as dwelling houses and tenements, only had one to three rooms: a kitchen space and a living and/or sleeping space, which were multipurpose, used for working as well as living.
A duplex bungalow for cigar factory workers in Tampa, Florida, circa 1905.
Two of the most common and recognizable types of vernacular American housing — the bungalow and the Foursquare — became massively popular during this time. The average number of rooms per house increased once again. Working-class homes now had three to five rooms; middle-class homes, six to eight. Whether or not a home was determined to be working- or middle-class depended on whether it had indoor plumbing (bathrooms!) or electricity, both of which had become increasingly available.
This 1901 home design by Frank Lloyd Wright featured an open floor plan.
The small minimal traditional houses of the 1930s through early ‘50s employed this new framing technique on a mass, federally-subsidized scale. These small homes relied on interior walls to ensure spatial privacy (not to mention aural, olfactory, and visual privacy) in cramped situations. The closed floor plan also represented security, isolation, and control, concepts that were important in a moment that emerged from the Depression and then World War II, and deepened through a period of intense racial tension and Cold War paranoia. The ranch and the split-level, both of which originated in the mid-1940s, drastically changed patterns of dwelling in the American home. This is often cited as the spark that lit the fire of the open concept. The reorientation of the ideal American home, from vertical, two-story Cape Cod to horizontal, one-story ranch, certainly did open up floor plans. By this point, a continuous living and dining space was commonplace.
The 1950s-style kitchen was more efficient than today’s open floor plan kitchen.
As cultures of consumption change and people become more environmentally conscious, homes must change to reflect this. Designing homes around “entertaining” that happens only a handful of times a year is a wasteful, yet still mindbogglingly popular practice. When people come to visit, they are there to see you, not your open concept. It may not be as glamorous, but the closed kitchen is actually more efficient for cooking than the sprawling, open “chef’s kitchens” that are so popular. It enables whoever does the cooking to take fewer steps to perform tasks. The chef’s kitchen follows the wasteful logic of the 1920s: Instead of moving the sink closer to the stove, builders install a pot filler or a second sink in a center island. Instead of closing in the main kitchen to isolate the disorder of food preparation, developers are building “mess kitchens” for this purpose.
The best thing about the closed floor plan? It offers what it has always offered: aural, olfactory, and spatial privacy. Humans have always needed the sense of comfort and refuge that defined rooms provide. That may explain the rise of “man caves” and “she sheds” — closed spaces that rebel against the open concept.
Instead of these — space-wasting, specialized rooms that are used relatively sparingly — why not just build common rooms with walls and doors? If you want to escape something unpleasant, you can do so without feeling banished or isolating yourself from everyone else. Sometimes, true freedom means putting up a few barriers.

An underwater search is set to begin for the missing plane that was carrying Emiliano Sala to Cardiff after over 4,500 people donated to a GoFundMe page set up to raise €300,000 to resume the search.
The target which was reached in less than three days after the page was created on January 25 had people from all over the world, including PSG star Mbappe.
Search for the plane, which was conveying Sala and a pilot from Nantes to Cardiff. was halted by Welsh authorities after 80 hours of extensive search.
But with many calling for the search to continue and the set target surpassed, director of Bluewater Recoveries, David Mearns, spoke to the press.
The survey vessel is currently being mobilized in Southampton, and subject to weather conditions, will be re-positioned to Guernsey on Thursday or Friday this week. Based on current weather predictions, we are hopeful that the underwater search will begin on the weekend, most probably on Sunday.
The family of the Cardiff record signing still have hopes of finding the player and pilot, Dave Ibbotson, even though Guernsey Harbour Master Captain David Barker said recently that the chances of survival were slim.
The family still have some hope. They’re looking at this as a missing person, a missing plane, and until they are satisfied that’s the mode we’re in.

Succeeding at school doesn’t happen by coincidence. Here are 6 quotes the most successful students say everyday in order to create their own future!
High school can get busy. Instead of becoming overwhelmed with AP classes, SAT/ACT exams, sports, and extracurricular activities, successful students take each day as it comes completing as much as they possibly can in one 24-hour period.
Multitasking does not work. Trying to complete your English paper while on Facebook chat is a bad idea. Successful students focus on one task at a time.
Academic success is a mindset. Successful students not only believe they will get an A in a class, but they will work tirelessly in order to get it.
Time management is a key life skill. Blocking out time for studying is essential to achieving high grades. Successful students will make sure that their study time is uninterrupted because they make it a priority.
Working too hard can be unhealthy. Sometimes you need to relax. Successful students block out time to watch Netflix, hang out with friends, and do other fun activities.
You cannot work hard if you don’t have a goal. While it’s great that your parents want you to do well in school, this external motivation is not enough. You need to have internal motivation by wanting to do well yourself. Successful students not only know exactly what colleges they want to get into, but they also write down their goals.

Paintball is a very nice game by a 13 year old developer (!). The physics are maybe inspired from the tremendous success of Line rider. You must drive the red ball to the red square, by drawing walls. Press the space bar to release the ball under gravity and bounces. 126 levels to play, and it's still growing.

Security is top priority for businesses, especially when it comes to sensitive customer information. On average, a data breach costs a business $158 per lost or stolen record, an expense that can quickly add up for companies that have databases filled with information. On a day-to-day basis, businesses generally invest significant effort and money into keeping their servers and devices safe. However, when a relocation is on the schedule, security becomes a top concern.
NCWS takes your data security seriously, putting measures in place to protect your equipment once it leaves your building. These extra precautions have given us a reputation across the country for providing reliable, top-quality relocation services. Whether you re moving a data center, a server room, or an office, here are a few ways NCWS goes above and beyond to keep your equipment safe while in transit.
Getting your equipment to its new destination means loading it onto a truck and transporting it. We use unmarked vehicles for moving computers, servers, and associated equipment and peripherals. Passersby will have no idea that sensitive business equipment is located inside, which provides an additional layer of protection.
Some businesses transport equipment from the building to the truck, letting a third-party company take it from there. This is especially true of long-distance moves, since some moving companies only employ local drivers. NCWS takes each customer s move seriously, with only our own, fully-screened staff members handling the move from start to finish. We have at least one technician with your equipment at all times as it heads to its new location, even if that destination is on the other side of the country. This ensures that you always have someone looking out for your business s interests.
The best security for your equipment means it arrives at its destination without damage. We use our own specialized packing materials to keep your equipment safe while being moved from your building, as well as while it s in place on the truck. There will be numerous bumps along the route, so it s important that your equipment be secured into position and protected against shock, humidity, and static. We also use anti-shock pallets to keep your equipment in place while the truck is in motion, giving you the peace of mind you need to know your servers and computers will arrive safely.
In addition to the extra care our employees take with your equipment, we provide insurance to further protect your business. We carry a general insurance policy that provides up to $3 million while our technicians are on site. Once your equipment is loaded on the truck and on its way, we can put cargo/catastrophic insurance in place to protect you against any damage that might happen to equipment while in transit.
When your business plans a relocation, it s important to put security first. NCWS not only keeps equipment secure and protected during the move from your building to the truck, but throughout the transportation process. Our skilled technicians will ensure your sensitive data and hardware arrive at their destination without risk.

French gaming operator Francais de Jeux (FDJ) has revealed record sales for 2015, as rival Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) announced a fall in revenue and turnover.
FDJ, which offers lottery, games and betting, said that sales reached €13.7bn ($14.9bn) in 2015, which is a 5.4 per cent increase on 2014.
Lottery games, the bulk of sales of the FDJ, were up 3.8 per cent thanks mainly to a 9.6 per cent increase in scratchcard sales.
Despite greater takings, FDJ has actually seen a fall in customer numbers and has targeted attracting 400,000 new players in 2016.
The state, which owns 72 per cent of FDJ, received €3.1bn and local shops made €690m.
PMU, which offers horseracing and sports betting as well as online gaming, said that total turnover for 2015 was €9.8bn, a third consecutive year of decline and 1.8 per cent down on 2014.
PMU added that gross revenue from its racing, poker and sports businesses also dropped by 2 per cent year-on-year, but noted an 11 per cent increase in international sales after taking a majority interest in the German Tote and becoming the key pari-mutuel operator in Brazil.
“After a very difficult start to the year, activity has improved in line with a number of operational changes to the back office, as well as new products and further developments in customer service,” said PMU president Xavier Hurstel. “In the end we have met our forecasts for total turnover and gross revenue.

我们对微博中所提及的事件表示歉意。上海五角场凯悦酒店对此非常重视。After learning about the content of micro-blog, the hotel general manager and management team contacted the guests in the morning of 18, apologized to them face to face and learned about the situation, and thanked the guests for pointing out the loopholes in the hotel's work.
Hotel management and room supervisors will conduct spot checks on rooms and workshops from time to time every day to ensure that room staff work in accordance with hotel standards.
Monthly scenario assumptions and classroom training will be conducted to synchronize the latest regulations and systems with room staff.
We would also like to express our gratitude to guests, government regulators and the media for their supervision of Hyatt Hotel in Wujiaochang, Shanghai, and will actively correct the shortcomings in our work.
事实上，今年九月，市旅游局对全市近50家酒店进行了秘密访问。As a result, only naked eye observation revealed that nearly one third of the hotels had problems, including five-star hotels, including tea bags, food and drinks in the rooms without production dates.
显然，有严格的规章制度，但在实践中，它们只是名存实亡。为什么？In this regard, industry insiders pointed out that the responsibility can not be blamed entirely on grass-roots employees, according to their salaries and salaries and workload, it is basically unrealistic to achieve in full accordance with the rules and regulations.
One is to improve the internal system of the hotel, establish a reasonable staff assessment mechanism, as well as an open and transparent supervision mechanism.

Being a registered charity, The Arts Society Solihull aims to provide membership which is open to all adults living in or around the Borough of Solihull. It is necessary, however, to restrict our membership number at any given time in order to give a high probability of being able to offer a seat in our primary venue, the Core Theatre at the Solihull Arts Centre.
Membership subscription for a 12 month period is currently £45, running from July to June, which acts as a contribution toward the charitable aims of the society. A person joining from February onwards would pay just £22.50 for the remainder of the year to the end of June.
At present we have no waiting list and spaces are immediately available for membership.

Jacqueline Fernandez took a break from pastels and wore something dark and dreamy at Shilpa Shetty's Diwali bash. At Shah Rukh Khan's Diwali bash, she wore a pastel blue-hued sari by Arpita Mehta and at Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party, the actress wore a lehenga by Masaba. Jacqueline looked resplendent and totally wowed us with her ensemble.
She wore a full-sleeved black-coloured blouse that was detailed with intricate work on the cuffs and the gold-patterned prints on the neckline area. She paired her blouse with a flared skirt that was dipped in a creamy white hue and accentuated by beautiful patterns in the subtle gold shade. She also draped a crisp dupatta in a cross-bodied style, which matched with the theme of her skirt.
Jacqueline carried a small black and gold clutch with her and she wore intricate earrings, which went well with her outfit. The actress wore a slightly heavy makeup but pulled off her look effortlessly. Her makeup was dewy and marked by a bold red lip shade and smoky kohl. The impeccable bun notched up her look.

Yesterday the Government made public its response to both the Taylor review of modern working practices and Sir David Metcalf’s Labour Market Strategy. The response to the Taylor Review has been long awaited since the Review was first published close to 18 months after the report was initially published in July 2017.
The Review is an important step for ensuring the employment framework fits the needs of the modern economy. For the tech sector, increased flexibility, platform-based work and technological advances have been part of the reason the tech sector grew 2.6 times faster than the wider UK economy last year. Reforms to modernise the employment framework are essential if the tech sector is to continue expanding and creating meaningful jobs.
Much of the Review and Response is centred around the sharing economy and the issue of ‘one-sided flexibility’, we are glad the Government and Taylor sought to find consensus on the issues that have arisen in this new area of work. The responses both addresses concerns about the balance between the rights of workers and those of business but recognises the value of the sharing economy and the benefits of new flexible working. Whilst the Review is centred on issues arising from the new sharing economy, it is clear that there will be knock-on effects across the UK workforce, namely for small business. techUK supports the recommendations and calls for clearer guidance for employers to implement these new requirements.
From a bird’s-eye view, it is encouraging to note that the Government enacted 51 of Taylor’s 53 recommendations and are acting responsibly to create a modern workplace that meet the needs of the 21st century economy. Some of the new protections for the individual worker in the response include: a new day one statement of rights, e.g. rights to sick and holiday pay, to ensure terms of employment are completely clear to the individual; the right to request a more stable and predictable contract after 12 months; and the closure of a legal loophole that allows employers to pay agency workers less than employed staff – ‘the Swedish Derogation’.
Looking more closely at the Review and Response, there is a clear need to focus on making these recommendations workable for businesses. For example, the threat of quadrupling fines at employer tribunals may be effective for the worst and repeat offenders but for SMEs they will require more detailed guidance and support from government to ensure they are not bundled in with those consciously breaking employment terms. More must be done to ensure these recommendations are transformed into manageable processes that our members can easily enforce. This is particularly important for new and innovative businesses who may be seeking to create new models of employment. It is critical that protections do not stifle the growth of new business models and that regulators work in partnership with rapidly growing businesses instead of simply taking a binary approach to enforcement.
As previously stated, the tech sector expanded over twice as fast as the rest of the UK economy last year and with that is providing innovative new employment models and procedures. Guidance and new requirements must provide greater clarity to ensure employers are able to roll out procedures quickly and not damage job creation. Today’s announcement is a welcome opportunity to update employment frameworks which have not managed to adapt on their own, but government and enforcement agencies must ensure employers are aware of their new responsibilities.

At the heart of the town stands the Cammeleur. An important building at an impressive site. Our design forms a connection between Dongen’s main street, ‘Hoge Ham’, and ‘Parc Vredeoord’, linking stately homes at the historical street to the green spacious quality of the also historical, former Villa Vreedeoord. De Cammeleur is the most important, cultural hotspot of Dongen.
Our building forms the connecting element between these two worlds. It is composed out of two very recognisable spatial elements. The ‘Heerenhuis’ (Mansion) and the ‘Paviljoen’ (Pavilion). The ‘Heerenhuis’ houses some of the more secluded area’s as, the library study and theatre hall of this centre. Counterpart for this zone is the ‘Pavilion’ comprising the more extravert functions like, entrance, central reception area and the grand foyer. Both volumes connect, each in their own way with the surrounding environment. The ‘Heerenhuis’ refers to the architecture of the Villa’s you find alongside the historic Hoge Ham. The ‘Paviljoen’ with her transparent curtain wall on the ground floor, reacts towards the spaciousness of the park. The extending curved-brick wall overhead the foyer, provides shelter and creates room for the large monumental trees that hem our building.
Internal connecting routes are found in the area where ‘Pavljoen’ and ‘Heerenhuis’ meet. Al the main routes are troughout the building accompanied by voids that provide space, sightlines and incident daylight. A grand void extending over all three floors forms the central interception in the building where all mayor routes intersect. And thus forms a space where presentations can be held, but also a place where visitors meet by change, interact and make new friends.
„ The curved façade marks a technical masterpiece of prefabricated building elements. The façade is composed of one story high elements, made up of a self-supporting acoustic inner wall and a thermal, outer brick wall part that carefully form the rounded curves of the ‘Pavilioen’. Even the ‘freestone’ window sills are an integral part of these façade elements.

On 23th June 2016, residents within the United Kingdom went to the polls to decide whether the country should remain as a member of the European Union. After months of ferocious political debate leading up to the vote, the public ultimately decided in favour of leaving the European Union. The ramifications of the nation’s decision were felt almost immediately, with the former Prime Minister David Cameron tendering his resignation and the pound dramatically decreasing in value.
With Brexit currently dominating the news, many people are talking and writing about the potential impact that it is going to have on the UK property market and mortgage interest rates. In areas such as central London, where some property prices have been decreasing since 2013, Brexit, together with increases in tax, has meant that these prices have fallen further. For example, the average property price in September last year in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham down was 4.6% year on year. But, in total was down by 7.2% versus August 2015.
For those who do not have a choice but to move home, this may be a less-than-ideal time to do it. However, for investors, economic uncertainty can offer great future opportunities to secure discounted deals that don’t tend to be available during more financially settled times – so now could be a good time for those who have the capital and resources to invest to secure a bargain.
The time it would take for the UK Government to negotiate fresh deals and relationships with the European Union could potentially put the brakes on short- to medium-term housing activity. In other words, and to put it simply, if people don’t need to move, then they are not going to.
Britain leaving the European Union could prompt the government to tighten control of our borders. And this could result in a last-minute deluge in immigration, which will put short-term pressure on housing stock and demand.
If major international businesses relocate their headquarters outside of the UK in the aftermath of leaving the European Union, a large amount of highly-paid and wealthy executives will follow. This could result in a lower demand for high-end property, particularly in the capital and the south-east, further fuelling price reductions that are already underway.
UK house price growth is already beginning to tail off. But some property market professionals believe Brexit could trigger price falls as uncertainty prevails and demand for housing weakens.
Any limitations on immigration under Brexit could result in fewer construction workers coming to the UK from overseas. And, if the demand for labour begins to overtake supply, then costs will rise for housing developers.
Changing enrolment rules and regulations for universities and colleges after Brexit could put off international students from coming to the United Kingdom to study for their qualifications. This would have a knock-on effect on the demand for property – which would spell bad news for student landlords.
While Brexit on its own might not directly affect the property marketplace, it has reduced the majority of people’s confidence when it comes to making major financial decisions such as buying a new property. So, together with other negative economic news that came out in 2018- including significant job losses and pressures on high street businesses, Brexit has given the majority of people a reason to put off moving home until things have settled down or are at least a little more transparent than it is now.
