By 2100, the use of air conditioners alone will increase the average temperature of Earth by 0.5°C.
In hot countries like India, Mexico, and China, the need for cooling has become necessary for productivity, well-being, and, in extreme scenarios, for survival. As the climate warms, our dependence on ACs for thermal comfort increases. These energy-consuming units emit a lot of greenhouse gases as refrigerants and cause further increase in average global temperature, forming a vicioust exposure would cause an additional 38,000 deaths per year in elderly people worldwide. In 2017, a study published in Nature reported that nearly 74% of the world’s population would be exposed to harmful temperatures for a minimum of 20 days a year by the end of this century.
That’s why it’s necessary to control every factor that is contributing to global warming. The existing cooling technology consumes massive amounts of energy and the majority of electricity production relies on fossil fuels, which further increases air pollution. All that additional air pollution may lead to another 1,000 deaths per year in the United States by 2050.
Recently, Rocky Mountain Institute published a report that sheds light on the urgent requirement for efficient, environmental-friendly cooling system. They also announced a program to reward the solution/prototype that leaves 5 times less impact on climate.
The report shows that the 5 times more efficient system would prevent nearly 100 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, which may reduce half degree Celsius in global warming by 2100. This positive impact would also reduce the burden of electricity grids, saving over $1.4 trillion in capital spending.
Numerous emerging technologies like thermoelectric cooling, magnetocaloric cooling, advanced dehumidification using enhanced desiccant materials, thermionic cooling, and deep space radiative cooling have shown promising results in their prototype phases for lower cost and energy consumption. They all have the potential to compete with traditional vapor compression mechanisms and offer further opportunities for lower climate impact.

Scammers pretending to be from DTE Energy convinced a Troy, Michigan, man to send $393 by threatening that his power would be shut off in April.
"It starts out with a real person and they call and say, 'We're going to shut off your lights in two hours unless you pay this money,'" Lynch said.
In addition to collection calls, consumers are getting hit with other utility-related robocalls.
Fake IRS bill
The use of a prepaid card or a gift card enables a fraudster to practically immediately transfer money from the card purchased by the consumer onto another card held by the crooks. Think of it like transferring two or three Starbucks gift cards onto your Starbucks gold rewards card.d,Fake 0 percent credit card offer
Nearly 123 million robocalls were made in March with a promise to get your credit card rates down to 0 percent. It was the most frequent scam robocall in March, according to YouMail's research.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our series on the challenges of leadership. Today’s post is all about leadership and ethics — and with Corporate Compliance and Ethics Week coming up next Monday, be sure to tune in for more related research and insights.
In their article “The Role of Moral Values in Instigating Morally Responsible Decisions” (Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, March 2013), Richard P. Bagozzi, Leslie E. Sekerka, Vanessa Hill, and Francesco Sguera warn of “the distance between espoused values and values in action” in leaders that can block “the virtuous self”:

Organised by mental health charity Self Help together with the Whitworth Art Gallery on Oxford road, the event saw 272 people attend, beating the previous world record of 250 people (although this is still to be confirmed by Guinness World Record representatives).
The hour-long session began with a welcome from the Charity and Art Gallery, and an introduction to mindfulness – whigemental way. We then took part in an exercise called the body scan, during which we were instructed to pay attention to breathing, and notice feelings and sensations in different parts of our bodies with a kind curiosity.
We then had a discussion around making everyday activities mindful (suggestions included eating, walking and even dancing), so as to develop the ability to root ourselves in the present moment rather than focussing on worrying or thinking about the future/past. The final exercise was the 3-minute breathing space – a short practice which is designed to refresh and relaxcial Sense’s Neena (Programmes Manager) and Reece (Programmes Executive) attended the Guinness World Record attempt.

The evening we arrived, there was just enough time to set up camp before the skies opened up into an absolutely torrential downpour. Given the elevation we were at, it was amazing to watch the lake get pelted with rain while the mountains above us received a blanket of fresh snow. Knowing that an integral component of the meal I planned to cook the next day was a freshly caught trout, I thought I'd get in a few casts before the sun set. Donning my waders and heading out to a nearby shoal, I teased a micro-leech over a drop-off hoping to entice some hungry locals. Sadly, the peace and quiet of the evening wasn't spoiled by the sounds of line screeching off my reel, but rather by me stepping backwards onto a sloped rock, resulting in an eruption of splashing and flailing as I fell backwards. My waders filled with water, which wasn't a great start to fishing, but was of high comedic value for the Ecologyst crew!

Four Midland businesses to watch in 2007
An office space designer, a maker of cleaning supplies, a rubber recycler and a group of companies that tests and manufactures equipment for testing lubricants seem like four very different businesses.
But CM Rubber Recycling, Space, Inc., Caltech and the Savant Group all were named on the "2007 Michigan 50 Companies to Watch" listlong with the Edward Lowe Foundation.
The awards recognize small businesses because of accomplishment and growth potential, said Ryanthe local economic development corporation that nominated these four businesses.
He said there are dozens of worthy businesses in Midland County that fit these criteria.
"These are just four representatives out of the many we have," he said.
This company is made up of independent corporations that work with the lubrication industry, including oil companies, automotive manufacturers, engine additive producers and engine manufacturers.
It started as Savant Inc., in 1969 as a consultant firm working with lubrication technology. Tannas Co. started in 1980 as a manufacturer of testing equipment for lubricants. The Institute of Materials, Inc. was formed in 1984 as an independent tester of engine oil and King Refrigeration Inc., acquired in 1996, also manufactures lubricant testing equipment designed for low temperature tests.
Vice president Rebecca Cox said the award was humbling, but a testament to their work in the field of lubricants. Their work can be seen in engine oils used in the vehicles Midlanders drive to work.
"We believe that the fundamental work we have done over the years as a consequence of the imagination and hard work of our people is very important for the advancement of lubrication," she said.
As for the future, Savant expects conditions in the auto industry to affect it directly.
"As companies in the automotive and oil industries cut back and consolidate, they are turning more to outside sources like Savant to help them with advanced technical research," Cox said.
The four companies employ 32 people.
CM Rubber Recycling
CM Rubber Recycling took in 3.75 to 4 million pounds of tires, or a little less than 300,000 individual tires, last year, most from Michigan. This year the company is looking to receive at least 8 million pounds, said Rebecca Mullins, company co-owner and general manager. The company makes garden mulch, playground covering and an additive for asphalt.
"We found a really good niche in having a high-value end product for tires," she said.
When water from hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused wood mulch from the Gulf region to be contaminated, CM's product was used instead, Mullins said.
The company sells to individuals, retailers and distributors. Products go to neighboring states and to Canada.
Late this season or early next, CM will introduce a new product that mixes tire rubber with a bonding agent to create a substance that is poured, leveled and hardened like concrete. It makes a good playground surface that's easier on children's bodies than concrete, and it will be used on a baseball diamond for disabled children in the Detroit area, Mullins said.
CM Rubber now has a total staff of 15, but Mullins said she plans to add workers for the busy season, which starts in the spring when orders for mulch start being filled.
Much like the rest of the Midland area, the people at Space Inc. are excited that the Great Lakes Loons are coming to town.
Space designs offices for companies large and small, and despite working on multimillion-dollar projects in Washington, D.C. with the Centerir work on offices at Dow Diamond is a personal favorite project, said Kathie Fuce-Hobohm, president.
"We are thrilled to be able to represent the Midland business community," she said. "Midland is a great place for small business."
Fuce-Hobohm is a dealer principal with Space along with Lisa Hulbert, a certified designecompany is a woman-owned business and employs 25 at its primary location in Midland and five at its Flint location.
Their work can be seen in town at Chemical Bank, Dow Chemical, the Midland Soccer Complex and several other local businesses.
The employees of Caltech Industries, Inc. specialize in products and services that protect healthcare workers from contamination by dangerous pathogens. These cleaner disinfectants control cross-contamination via environmental surfaces and medical equipment.
Caltech products are certified to be effective by independent labs  hospital-level use. A broad range of disinfecting product technologies including quaternary, bleach, and phenolic- and alcohol-based alternatives are offered. These disinfectants are used daily by employees in manylaboratories, emergency rooms, radiology, dental , nursing homes, veterinarysettings.
The company recently moved into an expanded facility in Midland's MidMichigan Innovation Center. The expansion invested approximately $450,000 in the Innovation Center and the local community - $180,000 in property investment and the balance in lease investments. It allowed for the creation of two jobs, with three more to be created in the coming years. It also retained 15 jobs in the Midland area.

I'm looking some informations and publications about Li textile from the Hainan island (south china). They seems to have strong indonesian (or philipan?) influence in their weaving and cloth. Thank you.
Pamela, thanks a lot for these good informations. I will try to find these books. I have also different kind of woman's woven skirt from Hainan island : one is a very short skirt made with 4 very small panels with very complex weaving (colors are red, beige, black and indigo). The jacket is an industrial indigo coton with silk embroidery. An other one is a real indigo ikat tubeskirt (like indonesian sarong). And the last one is a handspun indigo tubeskirt, probably older, with very fine silk embroidery (which are anthropomorphism representation) I have never seen these kind somewhere else. I have also seen in Thaïland a Li skirt made with a natural fiber.
Pamela, in fact I found these textiles in Thaïland. Unfortunately I don't have direct informations about villages today. (I just heard that the most part of Li wear chinese clothes today.) I will try also to find more about it. I have also to photograph some textiles it will be interesting to compare.
I have added a scan of the frontpiece of the book with publishing details etc and some comments.


Gram Shala is a three day rural exposure trip with young participants to a remote village in Gandhinagar district of Gujarat. The program aims at bridging the rural-urban divide and creating a space to observe, understand and learn the diverse realities of India. The idea is to bring the youth in sync with the complex realities of rural life, thus allowing them a platform where they at least begin to think on pertinent issues.


For people who are looking for good news about running DeCals online, Build The Future in Fall of 2020 should be a beacon of hope. Despite the looming Zoom fatigue that everyone can sympathize with nowadays, once a week at 6pm sharp, greeted by the cascade of Zoom join chimes, we held BTF. Undoubtedly, the reason why we could always guarantee that students would come back was because of the kickass show we always put on — all because of the founders we hand-select every semester.
In spirit of highlighting entrepreneurial optimism on campus — along with inspiring DeCals to push on despite an all-online format — here’s a collection of the experience-backed learnings we took in from the Fall 2020 semester.
As a Cal alum and first generation, low-income college student, Alicia’s advice was not only warm and immediately contextual to current students, it hit home.
To increase your network, the best thing to do is give.
Amongst Berkeley’s self-regarded elite — students that had 500+ connections on LinkedIn in their junior year of high school and similar folk — it’s admittedly tough not to heed what already works: asking seniors for coffee chats. To this, Alicia throws a curveball and implores more students to give. Whether that be through being genuine about your curiosities or through documenting stories that will be helpful to students who will be in similar positions in the future, anything that has to do with giving first instead of perpetuating the “scarce environment of Cal” will help students seeking to become entrepreneurs.
I was always scared to be stuck in the same position after college and fail to meet expectations. Find a world outside of the world you live in a
To do this, Alicia spends her weekends giving back to her community by teaching middle schoolers. She also recommends that every current Berkeley student should visit her favorite Berkeley restaurant: Toss Noodle Bar — definitely a source of uplifting people!
As BTF’s first ever international guest, Nick had a lot to say about starting a company in Australia and penetrating into Silicon Valley.
I noticed that some companies, like Atlassian, had successful global takeoffs, but many other companies had “false takeoffs”. He wanted to build an American-focused team that countered the mindset that ‘any startup made outside of Silicon Valley wouldn’t take off’.
Nick tapped into the financial need of the fashion and beauty industry, partnering really closely with big influencer-directive consumer brands (Kylie Jenner, Gymshark) to build beneficial, one-to-many viral relationships.
The balance of team and individuals across especially across a global aspect served as huge leverage for Afterpay. Nick personally looks for people who have a large appreciation for the customer.
For businesses working with Afterpay, not much is affected in terms of ‘accounting’ in that post-purchase, retailers get paid the very next day. Afterpay handles the customer-facing payment in installments. This means that if there is ever an issue of an outstanding debt, Afterpay disables users' accounts until debts are repaid. This ensures that they are never in hot water with retailers, their primary customers.
Sidra couldn’t have been a better founder to embody the concept of Product Market Fit — the concept dually applies to Atoms / the casual shoe market as it does Sidra as an immigrant founder / the USA.
My cofounder and I did a lot of self-explanation and self-teaching. So, when we applied to Y Combinator in 2012 when our company was just an idea off of what we thought Hollywood was, we didn’t get accepted.
Before they produced casual shoes, Sidra and Waqas operated under the assumption that everyone who went to the office always wore leather shoes — backed by the business fashion in Pakistan and Hollywood movies they consumed to get a sense of what the US was like. Although a very successful Kickstarter helped Sidra convince YC the second time they applied, to rectify this line of thinking, they spent hours in malls, silently observing and interviewing shoppers at traditional Nike and Adidas storefronts.
To similarly get a sense of what the US was like, Sidra describes spending the first 2 nights on YC campus practicing her English to reduce the language barrier as much as possible. To properly communicate to “the people that were coming from Harvard and Stanford”, they focused more on the words they were using instead of crafting a smart slogan / meaning. As much as Sidra and Waqas had made it into familiar territory amongst other businesspeople, they still felt like they were in a vastly different world.
Around summer of 2015, there was a lot of pushback for us to become a software company like everyone else. Many of our advisors told us it’d be smart to become the “Teespring of shoes”. That wasn’t what we were passionate about. We wanted to put a story in front of our customers.
Sidra explained that as a new direct to consumer (DTC) company in the age of B2B SaaS, not many people realized how tough and competitive it was. The iterative process inclined Sidra to invite 17 people over for dinner, doubling as some rest as much as it was also user research. Following the homecooked meal, for dessert, Sidra brought her crowd of guests down to the basement, where she showed them the shoemaking process and allowed them to try on personalized pairs. Although today they’ve scaled far past the need to cook customers individual dinners, Sidra and Waqas believe that its this intimate connection of customers and “the people behind the product” that explains why the brand garners any user interaction.
Calling in to BTF from her home in Oregon, Kim’s story was genuine from start to finish. Complete with impeccably-timed Zoom interruptions from her son asking for Gatorade out of the fridge, listening to Kim’s modest adaptation of Salt & Straw’s success was almost as sweet as the brand’s ice cream.
Kim is a big believer that “businesses should be on the table to solve messages that we have in society rather than just pillaging”. As much as Salt & Straw is a place for good ice cream, wherever a new Salt & Straw location is opened, Kim is rooted in her mission to support local underdogs. Instead of just creating quantifiably more ice cream, Salt & Straw is creating relationships — they always look for local flavors to fold into their ice cream and continue fostering the people element.
Our new flavors are almost never driven by numbers, but really by the idea of trying new experiences. There’s nothing more important than leading with your heart no matter what space you’re working in.
The above is really carried by Kim’s mission adjacent through Salt & Straw to “fight injustices through ice cream”. Salt & Straw uses their hiring funnel to help out with low-income, Black, and incarcerated folks back on their feet.
Project Webwall (the earliest version of Cloudflare) could’ve just been a project! It wasn’t really until I realized, mid-internship at a doctor’s office, that I hadn’t done anything else besides chemistry that I wanted to try something in business.
Michelle had to “knock on a lot of doors” to get into business as a result of her chemistry background. She spent some of her career-defining post-grad years doing internships at Google and Toshiba. Despite the tough beginnings, though, this led her to surrounding herself with smart people whom she learnt the basics of business that she didn’t get from.
A good business model along with true, differentiated technology is when companies really become ‘swing for the fences’ type of companies. B2B SaaS especially is a great place to be — investors love it, it’s fast, and growth is not lumpy.
To accompany this, Scott Sandell, one of Cloudflare’s advisors, said “The SaaS business model is the greatest business model there ever is”, Michelle recounted.
As a parting note, Michelle also says that the “.edu email is the most powerful single asset a student has”. For those who are earnest and curious, she says response rates are through the roof.
Landed on Figma and built, built, built!
No one thought that the design market would be massive. Lots of people estimated only 100,000 designers in the US when we were fundraising. John Lilly, who eventually became an investor, passed on our A!
To accompany this, in the same nonchalant, whimsical voice, Dylan described “not knowing what they were doing at all in the beginning”. The idea was to pitch it as a community that they would figure out how to turn into a business later on. He did highlight, though, that a lot of people at Adobe thought Figma would never work. “There are a lot of blind spots that come about with working in an industry that can be cured by thinking from first principles”, Dylan describes.
Although young founders are better at raising money, as an occasional angel investor, I wouldn’t sign a check to people who are students and founders at the same time. Choose either coursework or company work or you will get penalized for it.
To solve the pollution, slap yourself in the face if you’re ever using your “business”, “academic”, or “pure” brain and find a real problem — if you’re lucky, it’s something that you’re rationally curious about and is something about the world that ticks you off.
Apply the same uncomfortable exercise to problems. Walk through your whole life and in lieu of names, ask yourself about problems that you could solve — what sucked about kindergarten, what sucked about home life, etc.
There is something here about “blind spot problems” —problem is in your blind spot (how much you know about a problem space) and how much you want to solve that same problem. The less you know about a problem space, the more you’ll think you’re a genius who is going to solve this and that everyone who failed to solve it was an idiot.
If you don’t have a problem, you need to realize that you don’t have insights about the solution to the problem. Hence, you need to adopt a problem-haver and use their judgement to figure out if they’re solving the problem. The miniscule intersection between the two of you is that you also care about the problem — you will not want to solve a random stranger’s problem.
The best pitches are the ones where you pitch so good that you know what the next questions are. In the most ideal situation, catch investors in a trap where they think they’ve caught you in a trap and grand slam the question home.
The YC “Sh!t Test” is the question that is implicitly answered of what material between wet paper towel and flesh is your chest made of. With finite knowledge of seemingly infinite things, YC will poke at your chest to find gaps in your business. If you handle 2-3 Sh!t Tests well, investors will start believing in you.
The more “screw you” your vision is, the later it should be in your pitch, Do not sell yourself as eating all of Google’s lunch as a no-name, invalidated company.
If Google told investors that they were going to be the Microsoft of webapps, they wouldn’t have raised a dollar.
Working on “Platform” at a venture capital role is the happy medium between working at a startup and a venture fund. Simply, it’s “everything else that’s not writing a check”.
Arguably thinks people should take more pride being on the platform team than if on the investing team. Another investor has next to nothing to do with an investment even if you both hop on calls with each other, but as a platform team, all of you led to the fruition of an effort!

March is not only mad -- now it's very mobile. Given the proliferation of smartphones and higher-speed access to them in the last year, it is to be expected that accessing March Madness video coverage on devices would grow considerably. But as with all things mobile, early results exceed even those high expectations. According to the NCAA, 2.6 million unique visitors watched live video in one of its apps in just the first week of March Madness. This represents a 121% growth in audience for live video over 2012, which saw 1.2 million viewers.
In its first weekend, the NCAA March Madness Live apps rocketed to the top of the sports and free app charts. And it is interesting that the share of total live video served increased on mobile devices day by day. For instance, on opening day of Thursday, the share of video viewed on mobile devices was 43% of live video streams. The next day (Friday) saw 48% of video streams coming to tablets or smartphones. By Saturday, it was up to 59%, and by Sunday, 60%.
Mobile usage usually spikes on weekends anyway, as people tend to be away from their desktop computers. But in this case the growth might also be chalked up to increased awareness of the app’s mobile TV viewing capabilities through onscreen mentions, online mentions, and enhanced presence in various app stores. Users were being pushed to the NCAA March Madness site from CBS Sports as well as bleacherreport.com.
Still, it is interesting that the time spent per user viewing live video on devices continued to trail the time spent with video via broadband. Iner from broadband connections, and 61 minutes of video was viewed on devices per user. But the amount of video going to smartphones in particular was up 42% over the time spent in 2012. This suggests that higher-speed mobile data networks as well as the larger screens on most of the high-end smartphones are encouraging people to watch more video longer on handsets. The share of viewing minutes on mobile also grew across the first four days from 23% on Thursday incrementally up to 32% of all viewing minutes of video on Sunday.
The NCAA reported that overall its March Madness live video offering served 36.6 million streams in its first week -- double the number of streams for the entire tournament that it served last year.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP).


can exist for me and why that expressive instrument that we call a face can bear an existence just as my existence is borne by the knowing apparatus that is my body. When I turn toward my perception itself and when I pass from direct perception to the thought about this perception, I reenact it, I uncover a thought older than I am at work in my perceptual organs and of which these organs are merely the trace. I understand others in the same way. Here again I have but the trace of a consciousness that escapes me in its actuality and, when my gaze crosses another, I reenact the foreign existence in a sort of reflection. But here there is nothing like a "reasoning from analogy." Scheler said it well: reasoning by analogy presupposes what it is meant to explain. Another consciousness can only be deduced if the other person's emotional expressions and my own are compared and identified, and only if precise correlations are recognized between my gesticulations and my "psychic facts." But the perception of others precedes and makes possible such observations, so they cannot be constitutive of it. A fifteen-month-old baby opens his mouth when I playfully take one of his fingers in my mouth and pretend to bite it. And yet, he has hardly even seen his face in a mirror and his teeth do not resemble mine. His own mouth and teeth such as he senses them from within are immediately for him the instruments for biting, and my jaw such as he sees it from the outside is for him immediately capable of the same intentions. "Biting" immediately has an intersubjective signification for him. He perceives his intentions in his body, perceives my body with his own, and thereby perceives my intentions in his body. The observed correlations between my gesticulations and those of others, and between my intentions and my gesticulations, can certainly provide a guide in the methodical knowledge of others and when direct perception fails, but they do not teach me about the existence of others. There is, between my consciousness and my body such as I live it, and between this phenomenal body and the other person's phenomenal body such as I see it from the outside, an internal relation that makes the other person appear as the completion of the system. Others can be evident because I amalong behind itself.
As we said above: insofar as another person resides in the world, insofar as he is visible there and part of my field, he is never an Ego in the sense in which I am one for myself. In order to conceive of him as a genuine I, I would have to consider myself as a mere object for him, which I am prevented from doing by the knowledge that I have of myself. But if the other's body is not an object for me, nor my body an object for him, if they are rather behaviors, then the other's positing of me does not reduce me to the status of an object in his field, and my perception of the other does not reduce him to the status of an object in my field. Another person is never fully a personal being if I am fully one myself, that is, if I grasp myself through an apodictic evidentness. But if, through reflection, I find in myself, given to itself, if my perceptions remain eccentric in relation to myself as the center of initiatives and judgments, or if the perceived world remains in a neutral state, neither verified as an object nor identified as a dream, then not everything that appears in the world is immediately spread out in front of me and the other's behavior can have its place in the world. This world can remain undivided between my perception and his, the perceiving self enjoys no particular privilege that renders a perceived self impossible, these two are not _cogitationes_ enclosed in their immanence, but beings who are transcended by their world and who, consequently, can surely be transcended by each other. The confirmation of a foreign consciousness in front of my own would immediately turn my experience into a private spectacle, since it would no longer be coextensive with being. The other person's _cogito_ strips my own _cogito_ of all value and shatters the confidence I enjoyed in the solitude of having access to the only being conceivable for me, that is, being such as it is intended and constituted by me. But we have learned in individual perception not to conceive of our perspectival views as independent of each other; we know that they slip into each other and are gathered together in the thing. Similarly, we must learn to find the communication of consciousnesses in a single world. In fact, the other person is not enclosed in my perspective on the worldspontaneously slips into the other's perspective, and because they are .
[e. _Coexistence of psycho-physical subjects in a natural world and of men in a cultural world._ ]
Insofar as I have sensory functions – a visual, auditory, and tactile field – I already communicate with others, themselves taken as psycho-physical subjects. My gaze falls upon a living body performing an action and the objects that surround it immediately receive a new layer of signification: they are no longer merely what I could do with them, they are also what this behavior is about to do with them. A vortex forms around the perceived body into : to this extent, my world is no longer merely mine, it is no longer present only to me, it is present to X, to this other behavior that begins to take shape in it. The other body is already no longer a simple fragment of the world, but rather the place of a certain elaboration and somehow a certain "view" of the world. A certain handling of things – which were until now mine alone – is taking place over there. Someone is using my familiar objects. But who? I say that it is another person, a second myself, and I primarily know this because that living body has the same structure as my own. I experience my body as the power for certain behaviors and for a certain world, and I am only given to myself as a certain hold upon the world. Now, it is precisely my body that perceives the other's body and finds there something of a miraculous extension of its own intentions, a familiar manner of handling the world. Henceforth, just as the parts of my body together form a system, the other's body and my own are a single whole, two sides of a single phenomenon, and the anonymous existence, of which my body is continuously the trace, henceforth inhabits these two bodies simultaneously.
This only establishes another living being, and not yet another man. But this foreign life, like my own life with which it communicates, is an open life. It is not reducible to a certain number of biological or sensory functions. This other life annexes natural objects by diverting them from their immediate sense, constructs tools and instruments, and projects itself into the cultural objects of its milieu. The child finds these objects around himself at birth like meteorites from another planet. He takes possession of them and learns to use them as others use them because his body schema assures the immediate correspondence of what he sees done and what he does, and because in this way the utensil takes shape as a determinate _manipulandum_ and the other person takes shape as a center of human action. There is, in particular, one cultural object that will play an essential role in the perception of others: language. In the experience of dialogue, a common ground is constituted between me and another; my thought and his form a single fabric, my words and those of my interlocutor are called forth by the state of the discussion and are inserted into a shared operation of which neither of us is the creator. Here there is a being-shared-by-two, and the other person is no longer for me a simple behavior in my transcendental field, nor for that matter am I a simple behavior in his. We are, for each other, collaborators in perfect reciprocity: our a single world. I am freed from myself in the present dialogue, even though the other's thoughts are certainly his own, since I do not form them, I nonetheless grasp them as soon as they are born or I even anticipate them. And even the objection raised by my interlocutor draws from me thoughts I did not know I possessed such that if I lend him thoughts, he makes me think in return. Only _après coup_ – when I have withdrawn from the dialogue and I am remembering it – can I reintegrate it into my life, turn it into an episode of my private history, and only then does the other person return to his absence or, to the extent that he remains present, is the other person sensed as a threat to me.
The perception of others and


Here is what many city councillors just don’t get. They are sorry, they say, that the leak happened. Good for them. We’re all sorry. Probably the people involved with the original mistake are sorry.
But that’s not what most people are most angry about. It’s the failure to disclose that’s driving people nuts. Too many councillors don’t seem to get that secrecy has justifiably rattled peoples’ trust in city hall. Yes, because of the spill. But more so because if something like this happens again, how can citizens feel confident they will get appropriate disclosure?
But the volume of the contamination and duration of the leak weren’t shared with the public, Eisenberger acknowledged.


Deadly tornadoes strike Alabama, leaves fatalities and destruction behind - Image credit - AL.com | YouTube

Alabama: Lee County experiences deadly tornadoes - Video
On Sunday afternoon, Lee County, southeast of Alabama was thrown into chaos as horrendous tornadoes claimed the lives of twenty-three victims including a six-year-old child. Homes, businesses, and valuables have been affected adversely by the strong winds, the BBC reported.
The potency of the tornadoes
The tornadoes were potent enough that homes were wrecked, power outages happened and a huge steel cell tower came crashing down.
USA Today reckon these strong winds were equally felt in parts of Southern California, Georgia, and Florida.
A spokeswoman for Lee County Emergency, Rita Smith, notes that about 150 first responders joined efforts to help find survivors who were hit by the powerful storms. Beauregard in Lee County seems to be the area most affected. Video clips show debris found and houses without roofs and homes reduced to slabs.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said it raced through Lee County with winds of 150 miles per hour at the midpoint of the five-step Enhanced Fujita scale, which is used by meteorologists to measure the magnitude of tornado's strength.
Yahoo News believes up to fifty persons are injured and twenty-three victims dead already. The roads were littered with loads of debris. The authorities say the death toll could rise as the week continues.
A local resident was interviewed by the authorities. They had this to say: “Everything just kind of went dark...l, that's what it sounded like.” Obviously, the experience was terrifying.
BBC News has it that this would be the country's deadliest tornado spawning in six years since twenty-four people were killed in Oklahoma City on May 20, 2013. Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said that the disaster and the sheer volume of debris collected are the most he has ever seen.
Reactions to the tragedy
Governor Kay Ivey of Alabama State went on to Twitter to voice her condolences to persons and families affected by the winds. She pointed out that the authorities have been issued orders to send relief and help in searching for survivors.
Likewise, President Donald Trump also used the same media platform to express his concerns. Alabama Meteorologist Eric Snitill reacted as well.
Hee tweeted that more deaths have been recorded in the Lee County tornados than the entirety of the United States last year.

Along with Cannibal Corpse, Death, Impetigo, Mortician, Necrophagia, and Repulsion, Deceased were among the pioneering acts to combine the formative death metal sound with horror cinema. On “Luck Of the Corpse” Fowley expressed his love for camp horror, but things took a turn for the mysterious on “The Blueprints For Madness”. “Fearless Undead Machines” was a conceptual effort based upon the original trilogy of Dead movies from late Pennsylvania filmmaker George A. Romero (with an added dose of science-fiction). From “Supernatural Addiction” Fowley explored horror and science-fiction literature from Edgar Allan Poe, Richard Matheson, or Oscar Brand. Deceased continued with that literary approach on “As the Weird Travel On” and “Surreal Overdose”. Ghosts have always been part and parcel with Deceased but “Ghostly White” is the first instance wherein they form the basis for an entire record. Two decades removed from “Fearless Undead Machines” is the culmination of an evolution the Virginians commenced with their legendary 1997 offering. Not only that, in light of Castillo’s all-too-soon passing the title takes on a whole new meaning. “Ghostly White” is a more than loving tribute to their fallen bandmate, drummer, and friendamassed a respectable discography, but it can hardly be called excessive. Every album has that hard to pinpoint timeless quality. It certainly helps that each is bereft of any modern influence, irrespective of when and by whom it was released. The strength lies in Deceased’s immense songwriting skill that draws from several decades worth of metal history, knowledge, and years of collective experience. Like the best bands in the genre Deceased has their own sound, one that few have dared imitate.
Receiving an “introducing” (or rather “for the first time on the screen”) credit was Muriel Catalá. Catalá, who played some Lolita roles in French sex comedies and coming-of-age dramas, was often cast for her dashing looks. In Michel Mardore’s World War II drama The Savior (1971) Catalá debuted in a role that Isabelle Adjani auditioned for but didn’t end up playing. Catalá and Adjani did end up working together on Faustine and the Beautiful Summer (1972), the directorial debut for Nina Companeez. The turning point for Catalá came when she appeared in the period drama the Nuns of Saint Archangel (1973) with Anne Heywood, Ornella Muti, Martine Brouchard, and Claudia Gravy. In the decade that she acted she shared the screen with Alain Delon, Brigitte Bardot, Donald Pleasence, and Sophia Loren. A good portion of her earlier roles tended to focus greatly on her physical attributes while she was actually tolerable as a comedic actress. Had Catalá been offered something different than comedies and coming-of-age dramas she probably could have acted long than she did. That isn't to say that she was the French Gloria Guida or a star-in-the-making the way Edwige Fenech, or Barbara Bouchet were. She could probably have carved out a career as a giallo babe or as a supporting actress in Italian and Spanish genre cinema. As limited as an actress as Muriel was not even she deserved to end up in the muck of exploitation quite the way she did. No wonder she quit acting.
Muriel Catalá is ravishing in her debut role as nubile peasant girl Nanette. It’s a very physical role and that it required a fair bit of nudity at least gives credence to the idea that Catalá was serious about her craft. For the longest time Catalá was cast in coming-of-age dramas and sexy comedies and she never was able to quite make it. The Savior is a tour de force for Horst Buchholz. It was screened on the Cannes film festival in 1970 with both Muriel Catalá and Buchholz attending. The Savior was prescient how culture would evolve in decades to come and how its ugly ideology would rear its head once again. It’s a frightening piece of foreshadowing if there ever was one and it has lost none of its power. The Savior is low on action and World War II is always far in the background, but the picture it paints is damning. It is a protest against the machinations of war, of the politics that profit from it and all the lives it shatters in the process. It constantly looms on the horizon. The ghosts of war always come back to haunt us. It was bold screenplay, even for the 1970s – and The Savior has lost nothing of its power or the relevance of its message. It’s as topical now as it was then. If there ever was a European equivalent to Dalton Trumbo’s Vietnam war epic Johnny Got His Gun (1971), or an antecedent for Summer of '42 (1971), Sophie's Choice (1982), or The Reader (2008), this is it.


Dreaming of 90 Miles South
Havana's "Central Park"
The hotel had its role in the politics of the nation as well. In the beginning of the twentieth century, the Telegrafo served as the general barracks for the Liberty Party and center of the Election Campaign of the first decade of 1900. Atonce again reverted back to a hotel. The Telegrafo spent many year as the Office of the Historian of the City after the 1959 revolution. In December of 2001 the Hotel Telegrafo reopened to its previous grandeur offering 9 junior suites, 63 rooms and a fine cocktail bar.
Having spent 5 days there last September, I dream of the day when I can return to this marvelous old historic town and enjoy the amenities of the Hotel Telegrafo once again taking a short flight from Key West to Havana. ;o)

The answer lies in sustainable computing practices, considered the next phase in the evolution of green IT. Sustainable computing takes a more fundamental approach to green IT by emphasizing the value of the three R's -- reducing the demand for new technology by extending equipment lifecycles; reusing assets when possible through redeployment, resale or charitable donation; and ensuring a zero-impact approach to recycling.
These sustainable computing practices are laid out in a just-released, Redemtech-sponsored IDC white paper, Beyond Power: IT's Roadmap to Sustainable Computing.
As outlined in the paper, few organizations have fully leveraged the benefits of Sustainable Computing to date because green IT is still relatively immature, but pockets of excellence have emerged that demonstrate just how powerful these practices can be in their environmental, financial and social impact. And adoption of these practices is expected to accelerate as pressure grows on businessors to reconsider current practices.
When it comes to environmental objectives, the ultimate goal is to minimize the factors that contribute to the global climate problem and prevent waste from poisoning the environment or harming human health. While carbon emission is one of the primary culprits, eliminating harm from e-waste is another important goal. Many organizations believe they have already accomplished this objective, but according to the Basel Action Network, 80 percent of the e-waste collected for recycling is exported overseas where dismantling shops lack the processes to prevent hazardous materials from harming workers and the environment.
The first step in addressing this issue is to look for ways to extend the life of IT hardware. This reduces the demand for new hardware and amortizes. Many organizations are surprised to discover how resource-intensive computer manufacturing is: According to the United Nations University, a PC requires as much raw material as a mid-size automobile to manufacture, while 81 percent of the energy it uses over its lifetime is consumed during production.
Lifecycle extension can be supported by a proactive program that drives greater reuse of IT assets, both inside and outside the corporate enterprise. Redeploying IT equipment to other areas of the company that can still obtain value out of them can go a long way in controlling carbon emissions, waste and cost. Done correctly, it should include testing, cleaning and refurbishment, upgrade of the equipment as necessary and re-kitting with new peripherals to ensure end-user satisfaction.
Charitable donation and remarketing are also effective strategies for reducing the volume of e-waste entering the waste stream. Remarketing allows companies to obtain some replacement value to offset total cost of ownership for equipment that has no internal reusability and would otherwise need to be donated or recycled. Charitable donation can also help divert computers from the waste stream while supportingtesting and reconditioning of the equipment is critical to ensure a productive secondary life, while effective data sanitization is a must. Take-back of donated systems is also important to closing the environmental liability.
Act Socially
While proper lifecycle management can greatly boost a company's ecological and environmental sustainability position, it can also contribute to achieving goals on the social front. This can be accomplished through managed proactive donations, avoiding unethical labor practices and controlling unethical exports.

I have a question regarding an estimation procedure and I'm not quite sure about which one to use. I guess it could be some sort of an interval or quantile regression. One of my independent variable is an estimate and can take continous values between 0 and 1. We can't say for sure if this estimate matches the real value but we can say for sure that this estimate is the absolute minimum for the real value.

Currently Cabal's simple build system expects that all modules listed in the exposed-modules and other-modules have some original source file (possibly one that needs a preprocessor). There is a built-in hack for the generated Paths_pkgname module.
Adding other generated modules is rather tricky because of the assumption that an original source file can be found. This should not be too hard to fix for build, since we can just look for the generated source file in the build location, but it affects sdist more severely. There is no way for sdist to know if a file is generated or not, so if a source file is not found then currently it just fails. Unlike at build time, it's reasonable to run sdist in a clean build tree.
People can hack around it in the Setup.hs by filtering out the module name for various stages, but that is still tricky due to the combination of #410 and #627.

London, UK, 24 July 2007 – GFI Software, a leading developer of network security, content security and messaging software, has today launched a white paper to explain what PDF spam is and how spammers are using this popular file format to reach people’s mailboxes.
Research shows that between 65% and 88% of emails received is considered to be spam. Spam continues to be a headache for administrators and end-users because spammers are constantly trying to stay one step ahead of anti-spam software vendors. Although spammers registered considerable success with image spam, the anti-spam software industry had quickly come out with new counter-measures to stop image spam.
As with every cat-and-mouse game, spammers had to respond and in June 2007, they came up with a new technique that is not only ingenious but even more problematic than image spam. Instead of embedding the image within the email itself, they ‘repackaged’ it within an attachment using one of the most common file formats in use today – a PDF file.
This move is clever because email users ‘expect’ spam to be an image or text within the body of the email and not an attachment. Also, since most businesses today transfer documents using the PDF format, email users will have to check each PDF document otherwise they risk losing important documentation.
To address the PDF spam threat, administrators need to deploy as many anti-spam techniques as possible, including Bayesian filtering and PDF filtering, while at the same time maintaining a very low level of false positives.
To download a copy of the white paper, please visit http://www.gfi.com/whitepapers/pdf-and-image-spam.pdf. For information on GFI’s anti-spam and anti-phishing solution, GFI MailEssentials, visit http://www.gfi.com/mes/.

About Slice of Vegas

Slice of Vegas Ratings and Reviews
It was so empty. Not even 25% of chairs filled on a Wednesday night at 8pm. Service was efficient and waitress was nice, but she made us feel rushed towards dessert time and we weren’t even done eating the pizza yet. Why rush me out if nobody is in here as it is? So we were asked if we wanted dessert 3 times before pizza was done and decided to just go and not get any. Overall, I more than likely won’t go back, it was OK. Pizza is MAYBE above average but definitely not close to NY.
Slice of vegas offer, helpful, servers! I wasn't sure what to expect, as it is located in the Mandalay bay shops that sit in the walkway between Luxor & Mandalay bay(closer to the Luxor end)
Located in the Shops area at Mandalay Bay, this establishment appears to be just another Italian style dining/Pizza joint, until you see the menu. The food was okay but very pricey for a pizza shop. We ordered the Fried Calamari appetizer which was overcooked, lacked seasoning and was quite bland. The menu choices were void of some traditional favorite choices and we thought a little short on options. The service was pretty good. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive, but was busy (due to shortage of staff not overcrowded conditions) and caused some waiting issues, including rare drink refills. The pizza wasn't too bad, but could be better for the price. All in all, not sure we would return. Can't say it was bad, but could have had a better meal somewhere else for the cost.
Slice of Vegas is a great and reasonably priced Italian restaurant worth every penny. We ate lunch there three days in a row trying different menu items, and each time we had great food and great service. The pizzas and pastas are very tasty. Next time we are in Vegas, this is one restaurant we are definitely going to visit.
We waited for over an hour for our food. When we finally received it, one of the dishes was not the way we wanted it and the waitress said "Oh well, I tried" to get it right, sorry that it didn't come out right. It was a very bad experience and i wouldn't recommend it at all.
