Don’t Let Syria Down

Español | Français | Nederlands | Deutsch | Pусский | Türkçe | عربي

“My name is Liqaa’. I had to flee from Syria and leave behind my home, my family, my life. I live with my husband in Za'atari refugee camp, and just gave birth to our first child. Our children are crying for peace, but I don’t want mine to have to cry for it. We’ve shed enough tears and blood already. What we need is an end to the suffering. That is my dream.”

Update, 20 September: 100,000 signatures

Thanks to support from people like you in over 150 countries around the world, we now have over 100,000 signatures* in support of Syria peace talks – roughly equivalent to one for every man, woman and child killed in the conflict to date.

We’ve passed this milestone at a critical time. The deal to remove Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile, brokered by US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, proved that international diplomacy on the Syria crisis can work when world leaders put their minds to it.

Now we need your help to tell Presidents Putin and Obama to set a date for inclusive peace talks on Syria. They’ve promised to “make progress” on a second Geneva Peace Conference. Now, they must use the opportunity of the United Nations General Assembly to unite and set a date for talks that bring all parties to the conflict to the table.

The chemical weapons agreement is a step in the right direction, but it’s just that – one step. More than 100,000 people have been killed – largely by conventional weapons - since the Syrian conflict began two and a half years ago. The only way to end the bloodshed for good is for all involved to prioritize a negotiated political solution.

Update, 30 August: a political solution in Syria is now more urgent than ever

The recent escalation of violence in Syria has underscored the terrible suffering endured by the Syrian people, and reinforced the need to urgently find a political solution to this intensifying conflict.

There is a clear risk that governments ratcheting up the rhetoric and preparing for military intervention could make the situation in Syria worse. More than 100,000 lives have already been lost and more than two million people have been forced to flee to neighboring countries.  Any further escalation of the conflict could increase serious and life-threatening risks for civilians, and further undermine regional stability. Instead, we urge President Obama, President Putin and other world leaders to intensify peaceful efforts to find a political solution to the crisis through diplomacy and dialogue.

It’s time for leaders to show courage against the tide of war: urge President Obama and President Putin to push for peace talks today.

Politicians pledged to help find a political solution to the Syria crisis months ago, but promises of a peace summit have come and gone without any noticeable action.

Please urge President Obama and President Putin to put their differences aside, and throw their political weight behind making the peace talks a reality, and a success. As organizers of the peace talks, the Presidents must work together with all parties to the conflict to urgently finalize a timeline. Failure to do so will mean yet more bloodshed and suffering for millions of Syrians.

The conflict has already claimed at least 100,000 lives. The number of people just like Liqaa’ who are fleeing violence and needing humanitarian aid is rising every day. The escalation of violence in recent weeks only serves to reinforce the urgency of finding a political solution to this conflict.

There will be no end to the suffering unless real progress is made soon.

1. Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Barack Obama and UN/League of Arab States Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi must use their political influence to get all parties to the Syria conflict around the table for talks on finding a solution to this crisis.

2. For talks to be a success, they must include representatives of the peaceful majority of Syrians, including women’s groups and refugees, who want this nightmare to end.

3. The talks should be backed unequivocally by the international community, who must refrain from any acts or statements which risk undermining them.

Meanwhile, world leaders must do everything they can to ensure that all people affected by the crisis can access the humanitarian aid they so urgently need.

Please sign our petition now. We’ll deliver this petition to President Putin and President Obama, copying it to the UN/LAS Envoy to Syria and G8 leaders, calling on them to work with all parties to the conflict to make the peace talks a success.

This petition was delivered to:
  • President of Russia and President the United States of America

An Introduction to Biochar

The following is excerpted from The Biochar Debate: Charcoal’s Potential to Reverse Climate Change and Build Soil Fertility, available from Chelsea Green.

Charcoal and biochar

Charcoal is one of the oldest industrial technologies, perhaps the oldest. In the last decade there has been a growing wave of excitement engulfing it. Why?

Because some scientists are saying that we might be saved from the worst effects of global warming if we bury large quantities of it. Not only that: we can restore degraded land and get better harvests by mixing fine-grained charcoal — biochar — with soil. Others say that charcoal’s use could be just one of several technologies to mitigate climate change. Yet some maintain that it is an extremely dangerous technology. The jury is out on which is closest to reality. This Briefing aims to provide an overall view of the subject and describes the best way to encourage the appropriate use of biochar.

The theory is simple. Plants, through photosynthesis, capture carbon dioxide-the main greenhouse gas-from the air as they grow. The carbon of CO2 provides their structure and the oxygen is released for animals to breathe. If the plants are left to rot, the C and O combine again in a relatively short time to release carbon dioxide back into the air. However, if the plants are heated in the absence of oxygen — called pyrolysis — charcoal is formed. Charcoal is largely carbon. As anyone who has organized a barbecue knows, charcoal can be burned, in which case the carbon goes back up into the atmosphere. But if it is buried, the two elements take a long time to recombine as carbon dioxide. This means that some of the most abundant greenhouse gas can be taken out of the atmosphere and locked into the ground for a long time. Deep burial-rather like putting coal back where it belongs-is one way. But there is another option.

Additional excitement came with the discovery of deep dark areas of “terra preta do indio” — Indian black earth — in the Amazon rainforest where the soil generally is thin, red, acidic and infertile. The patches of terra preta are alkaline with a high carbon content, and contain potshards indicating that it was not natural: a pre-Columbian civilization had created it. It is extracted and widely used by garden contractors because it is so fertile. It has remained fertile and retained its carbon content through the centuries.

Terra preta is black because it contains large amounts of charcoal. Infertile land had been converted to fertile land that supported a thriving civilization through the wise use of the trees that had been felled. Could charcoal, therefore, not only be a vehicle for reducing global warming but also a means to increase the fertility of degraded land, and help feed the world?

Charcoal used for this purpose is referred to as biochar. Biochar is pulverised charcoal made from any organic material (not just wood) and, when mixed with soil, it enhances its fertility. It locks carbon into the soil and increases the yield of crops. To many, this appears the closest thing to a miracle.

The process of converting plant material to charcoal gives off heat together with gases and oils. Certain plants and certain processes produce a high proportion of charcoal, whereas others produce more gases and oils. This is where the problems start. These chemicals could become the main commercial attraction of biochar. As has been found with biofuel, growing crops to fuel cars can be more profitable than growing food to feed people. If left to the market, producers of biochar might buy up productive land, plant monocultures, and develop their equipment primarily to produce fuel and industrial chemicals.

Then there is the suggestion that the burial of charcoal should earn carbon credits. As above, the financial motive could lead to “growing carbon credits” in preference to growing food. And if widely adopted, as hoped, the carbon market would be flooded with credits; industry would buy them at fire-sale prices and carry on with business as usual to the detriment of the climate. A strong financial incentive to use biochar is desirable, but carbon credits may not be the best approach.

There are two prime objectives. It is essential to find ways to sequester greenhouse gases if we are to avoid the worst effects of global warming. It is essential also to enable farmers throughout the world to use biochar if it can bring degraded land back to fertility and increase yields. The process cannot be left to “the market,” which has been described as an out-of-control demolition ball swinging from a high crane.

In the final chapter I outline twin policies for reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The first policy would ensure a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. The second concerns our use of land. The requirements for the two are so different that separate regulations are necessary. The first is called cap-and-dividend (in the US). The second is the Irish proposal for a Carbon Maintenance Fee (CMF), which would provide a powerful incentive for every country, rich and poor, to enable its farmers, businesses and individuals to maintain land-based carbon.

Report: Panama FTA Would Undermine U.S. Efforts to Stop Offshore Tax-Haven Abuse and Regulate Risky Financial Conduct

Trade Deal Would Leave Tax Shelters for AIG and Narcotraffickers Intact While Removing Existing U.S. Tools to Combat Tax Evasion and Other Financial Crimes

WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Obama's ability to deliver on his campaign commitments to close tax loopholes that promote offshoring and re-regulate the financial sector would be dealt a sharp blow if the U.S.-Panama Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is passed, according to a Public Citizen report released today (PDF).

The new report details how Panama explicitly created an industrial policy designed to create a "comparative advantage" in tax-evasion and money-laundering services for entities such as the bailed-out American International Group (AIG) and Mexican and Colombian narcotraffickers. The report also examines how specific FTA rules would remove key policy tools – such as limitations on transfers from tax-haven countries that are used to combat financial crimes – and would also conflict with U.S. government efforts to combat the global economic crisis by re-regulating finance.

"Members of Congress wouldn't vote to let AIG not pay its taxes or to give Mexican drug lords a safe place to hide their proceeds from selling drugs to our kids, but that's in essence what the Panama FTA does," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch division. "The Obama administration has discarded or altered many leftover Bush initiatives, so why would it push a Bush trade pact that directly conflicts with its priority campaign goals of closing tax loopholes and regulating finance?"

The Panama deal, negotiated by the Bush administration, is modeled on the controversial North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) template. It includes the controversial private "investor-state" enforcement system, which would give new powers to hundreds of thousands of private investors from around the world that are registered and have operations in Panama. This includes the right to challenge U.S. anti-tax haven policies and financial service regulations in foreign tribunals to demand taxpayer-funded compensation.

Among the key findings:

  • Some of the largest recipients of U.S. federal procurement contracts and money under the Troubled Asset Relief Program – including Citigroup and AIG – have a combined dozens of subsidiaries in Panama that would be empowered with expansive new rights if the FTA is implemented. These firms have been among the top advocates for the Panama FTA;
  • Panama is one of only 13 countries – and the only current or prospective FTA partner – that is listed on all of the major tax-haven watchdog lists that also does not have U.S. tax transparency treaties.
  • In the face of recent pressure to reform related to the G-20 Financial Crisis summit process, Panama wrote to the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) defiantly outlining its refusal to adopt key reforms, such as lifting the veil of secrecy on beneficial ownership of bank accounts and automatic exchange of tax information;
  • The April 2009 OECD tax-haven watch-list includes Panama among 30 countries that agreed to conform to international tax norms but failed to do so. Indeed, the OECD report notes that Panama made its commitment in 2002 and since has completed not a single agreement to implement its promise. In contrast, other countries on the list have completed as many as eight compliance agreements – which is still not adequate to be taken off this list.
  • According to the U.S. Department of Justice and other entities, Panama is also a major financial conduit for Mexican and Colombian narcotraffickers' money laundering activities;
  • According to the U.S. State Department, Panama has more than 350,000 foreign-registered companies, all of which face low to no taxes and regulation. This high rate of foreign incorporation – Panama is reportedly second only to Hong Kong – makes the country a magnet for tax evasion. According to a Panamanian law firm's advertisement touting Panama's lax standards: "Even Switzerland cooperates on income tax cases if the return is filed falsely like all income was not declared, things were omitted or so the complaining government says. Belize has tax treaties, as do most of the so-called 'tax havens.' There is no better jurisdiction than Panama today!!!!!!!"

What would a ‘Brexit’ look like for the UK trade mark attorney profession?

EU-flagSince the introduction of the EU Trade Marks Directive and the Community Trade Mark Regulation, the UK trade mark attorney profession has been closely involved with the development of the wider European trade mark system and its law.

Here we discuss the potential impact for trade marks and designs, and the UK trade mark attorney profession of the UK exiting the EU.

It is widely regarded that the EU trade mark system provides value for money and a territorial breadth of rights that has been of benefit to businesses and to the profession. The UK profession has embraced the system and its representatives are the second-largest source of filings with the European Union trade mark office.

The exact picture and transitional arrangements would emerge over time following lengthy negotiations – meaning that we cannot be certain of any outcome. However, given our knowledge and experience, we can be fairly sure that leaving the EU would have the following effects on trade mark law and practice:

  • The UK would no longer be covered by the EU trade mark and EU design systems
  • The UK court system would no longer have EU trade mark Courts
  • Brand owners seeking to protect new trade marks in the UK would need to obtain a UK-specific trade mark registration (either a national registration, or via the Madrid Protocol)
  • There would be transitional provisions of some kind, probably allowing the ‘re-registration’ of EU Trade Mark and EU Design registrations in the UK
  • UK-based trade mark practitioners would be unlikely to file EU Trade Marks/EU designs because they would be unable to represent clients before the EU Intellectual Property Office, unless the UK was to join the European Economic Area.
  • Over time UK trade mark and design law would diverge from EU law

What happens to trade mark attorneys’ work if the UK leaves the EU?

A substantial proportion of the work of the UK trade mark attorney profession can be accounted for in the filings and related prosecution and contentious matters for EU trade marks.

It is reasonable to suggest that a big percentage of the EU Trade Mark and Registered Community Design work currently undertaken by the UK profession, including a large volume instructed from overseas, would move to attorneys within the rest of the EU. For those involved in litigation, the lack of an EU trade mark court in the UK may also lead to a reduction in work.

In Switzerland, which is not part of the EU or European Economic Area (EEA), many firms have arrangements with EU based firms to handle EU trade mark work as they are not authorised representatives.

What if the UK joins the European Economic Area (EEA)?

Although unclear, there is a possibility of the UK joining the EEA if it were to leave the EU – and while the new European trade mark directive gives provisions for EEA members to file, and it may well be the case that in the EEA UK attorneys could represent before the EU IPO, there is a risk that foreign agents would be likely to send work to representatives of full EU member states rather than EEA members. However the UK profession has built up a reputation for quality and trust, which would be unlikely to diminish upon leaving as this has been built up over a substantial period of time.

Would UK filings increase?

Many global businesses that have a market in the UK would still require protection in the UK – so many IP owners would continue to file independently in the UK. There would almost certainly be an increase in UK based trade mark and design registrations, but there is a question over whether an uplift in UK filings would make up for a potential loss in EU related work. There is a possibility that many applications would proceed via the Madrid Protocol arrangements – and possibly filed on the back of EU Trade Mark filings by EU representatives, which would result in less work being available for UK- based attorneys.

Transitional arrangements

It is likely for there to be a substantial transition period during which clients file both UK and EU trade marks to guarantee protection. We also anticipate there would be a robust process through which EU trade marks would become UK trade marks, or a conversion process which would require attorney involvement. Both would result in a short-term uplift in work for UK-based attorneys.

There are huge numbers of rights that would need to be registered in the UK, and it is possible that the transitional provisions put in place in the event of ‘Brexit’ would result in a short-term increase in work for UK attorneys, relating to the ‘re-registration’ of EU Trade Marks and Designs in the UK. However, if the process is purely formalistic, a significant proportion of this work may go to dedicated renewal/recordal firms rather than attorneys.

The likelihood is that there would be some method for an EU Trade Mark or Registered Community Design to continue as a UK right. Conversion for EUTMs would be one option, but the existing model requires re-examination as a national application and leads to a fresh non-use grace period. The former might place significant strains on UK’s IPO, and the UK profession, if volumes are high. This has the potential to lead to short-term ‘cluttering’ as otherwise vulnerable rights get a fresh lease of life.

Impact on UK based business

For trade mark and designs rights owners there would inevitably be an increased cost and complexity in protection and enforcement - the EU currently provides a cost effective and simple system.

Existing owners of EU Trade Marks and EU Designs would lose protection in the UK, unless they obtain a separate UK registration. It is likely that there would be costs involved in any re-registration process and there would almost certainly be additional costs at renewal. There would also be an uncertainty over what will happen to seniority claims and whether registrations based on a European Union Trade Mark but based in a UK establishment would retain seniority.

The UK Courts would no longer be available as a venue for resolving EU Trade Mark disputes and the divergence of UK and EU trade mark and design law would result in additional complexity and resultant cost.

Changes in law and practice

We can expect a significant period of uncertainty for trade mark law and practice after a vote to leave the EU. Over a number of years the law has been harmonised across the EU, but with different systems there would almost certainly be a divergence over time in the law between the UK and EU trade mark systems. This could be simply down to case law, or through actual changes, but changes would likely be gradual.

If the UK was to vote to leave the EU there would be a great deal of uncertainty, the outcomes for the UK trade mark attorney profession would be largely dependent on the negotiations following the vote.

There is certainly a cause for concern that the UK leaving the EU would have a negative impact on the profession and on trade mark and designs rights holders in the long-run. The uncertainty over how the system and traditional arrangements would work remain and would create an added complexity to the way trade marks work in the EU and UK.

However the reputation and trust the UK profession has built up over time and the potential increase in UK based filings could help make up loss in business, at least in the short-term.

Summoned to court for publication of human rights monograph

A new court case against Stanislav Dmitrievsky, Head of the human rights organisation Russian-Chechen Friendship Society, signals that Russian authorities continue to restrict the work of human rights defenders. Civil Rights Defenders call for international attention to this case as this is yet another attempt to silence Stanislav Dmitrievsky and his organisation for their work against impunity in the North Caucasus.

On 6 December, Stanislav Dmitrievsky is summoned to a court hearing in Dzerzhinsk city court. The prosecutor claims that the monograph “International Tribunal for Chechnya”, published in 2009 and written by Stanislav Dmitrievsky, Oksana Chelysheva and Bogdan Gaureli, is an extremist publication under Article 13 of the Federal Law on Countering Extremism and accordingly should be banned.

“We call for international attention to this case. This is yet another attempt to silence Stanislav Dmitrievsky and his organisation for their work against impunity in the North Caucasus. We call on the authorities to drop this case and to stop attempting to ban the human rights monograph”, states Robert Hårdh, Executive Director of Civil Rights Defenders.

The Russian-Chechen Friendship Society, formally registered in Finland, monitors and reports on the human rights situation in Chechnya and other parts of the North Caucasus. The organisation has also been part of the White Ribbon coalition, which organised rallies and protest demonstrations in Nizhny Novgorod related to December 2011 and March 2012 elections and beyond.

The office of the Russian Chechen Friendship Society in Nizhny Novgorod has been attacked six times since March 2012. Last time was on 31 October, when heavily armed men smashed windows and doors and sprayed the facade with orange colour. In addition, the Russian-Chechen Friendship Society has been the target of defamatory statements in the public and media, which further aggravates the situation.

“The authorities should investigate the long series of attacks against the Russian-Chechen Friendship Society, and take appropriate action to protect the staff members of the organisation”, says Robert Hårdh.

On the night between 3 and 4 November, Stanislav Dmitrievsky’s family was exposed to an attack in their home. Masked and heavily armed men crushed the windows, encased with lead, with a special hammer. They also squirted glue into the lock on the apartment door to prevent the family from escaping. Read more on the attack

The full title of the book, which is now under risk to be banned, is “International Tribunal for Chechnya. Prospects of Bringing to Justice Individuals Suspected of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity During the Armed Conflict in the Chechen Republic”. The book is a detailed account of human rights violations by all conflicting parties in the Chechen conflict and includes prospects for combating impunity of the perpetrators.

eCommerce Web Design: Less is More

Simple Site Design May Lead to Increased Conversions

Minimal, simple websites are more attractive to customers

simple web designA 2012 Google study found that “visually complex” websites were viewed as less beautiful than visually simple websites. Instead of making website visitors figure out what they need to look at or what to click on first, simple design websites naturally draw the eye to the most important pieces of information and are easy to navigate. Simple websites are not only viewed as more beautiful and easy to look at, they can also lead to more conversions.

Flat is In

Flat designs for eCommerce sites also fit the “less is more” motto. Flat design allows the content of the website to be the star instead of being overwhelmed by the design. The focus is always on usability, with clean design that utilizes open space, sharp edges, and two dimensional images, buttons and objects. The flat design doesn’t make the website viewer’s brain and eyes to work hard to decode and understand what it is looking at. Instead the viewer is able to focus on the content and products being presented on the website.

device agnosticDevice Agnosticism

Instead of having to design different versions of an eCommerce website for different devices, more companies are choosing to have a device agnostic site. A device agnostic site means that the site is compatible on various devices without adjusting. With new devices being introduced constantly, it is easier to design a site to work on multiple devices than to design versions for every device made. A simple design that is easy to view and navigate on every device will impress visitors and make them more likely to use your eCommerce website again.

Short, Sweet and Bulleted

  • Presenting product information and features in short, simple bullets will be easier for the customer to read.

  • Customers are also more likely to scan bullets for the information that they need instead of reading through paragraphs.

  • If you want to provide more information, include a link to another page with more in-depth product information.

intuitive web designDesign for Intuition and Instinct

A website with a simple design is intuitively easy to use, and guides users both to what they are looking for and to convert. Customers know what they need to do, where they should look first, and what they need to click, just by looking at the page. Each page should nudge the user further down the sales funnel, with high visible calls-to-action (CTAs) on every page, and above the fold. Unlike viewing a complex website, site visitors don’t have to think or try to figure it out. When a site is visually complex, the eyes and brain of the site viewer have to work harder which makes it less appealing to the viewer. A simple design leads the eye to where it needs to go, from large text, to bulleted items, to a call-to-action button. The brain doesn’t have to work as hard to understand a visually simple page which makes it more appealing.

BP Continues Brand Clean-up on YouTube

bp-ad-on-youtubeBP is pushing a new YouTube video series, “My Gulf,” while purchasing display ads (pictured) on the video site to promote the effort. Eight videos roughly two-and-a-half minutes long have been rolled out since late August, portraying Gulf Coast lifestyles.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred 17 months ago, and since then BP has been doing what it can to clean up its brand image through PR and marketing, including a healthy dose online. In addition to the eight aforementioned videos, BP’s Youtube channel includes two :60 spots titled “Voices From The Gulf,” which have also run in digital paid media and as TV ads . BP has pledged $170 million to helping promote Gulf Coast tourism, as well as a $5 billion fund for residents and businesses affected by the spill.

The My Gulf effort is ongoing. A BP spokesperson told ClickZ News via email that the initiative will eventually total up to 28 YouTube videos. The videos are also being consistently plugged on the oil company’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.

“Some of the video content from the My Gulf series is actually included in our paid media executions, as are the TV ads,” the spokesperson explained. “We are doing this to extend the reach of the effort beyond our own social media channels.”

Meanwhile, here’s a snapshot of how BP’s social media attempts are faring. In the last three months, it has considerably increased its Facebook “likes” from 61,000 to 117,000. Twitter followers have modestly grown from 28,000 to 31,000.

Meanwhile BP endured a social media backlash in June. Negative comments from users seems to have slowed, but posts like the following from yesterday can still be found on its pages:

All those tourists exposed to things now proven to cause cancer, who at fish genetically mutiliated by BP’s oil and chemicals. Just image how those punitive damage will add up FAST. And all of them LURED with the BP promos and incentives. It’s a beautiful thing.

Plane Passengers' Near-Death Experience Gives Clues to Trauma's Effect on Brain

Plane Passengers' Near-Death Experience Gives Clues to Trauma's Effect on Brain

Plane Passengers' Near-Death Experience Gives Clues to Trauma's Effect on Brain

Interviews, brain scans of people who thought they might die in crash show impact lasts for years

SOURCE: Baycrest Rotman Research Institute, news release, June 23, 2015

FRIDAY, July 3, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- A study involving people who thought they were about to die in a plane crash reveals new clues to the long-term impact that traumatic events have on the brain.

In August of 2001, passengers on Air Transat flight 236 were on an overnight flight from Toronto to Lisbon, Portugal, when their plane ran out of fuel over the Atlantic Ocean.

Many on the harrowing flight thought they might die that night, but in the end the plane was able to make an emergency landing on a small island in the Azores.

Now, nearly 14 years later, a study led by Baycrest Health Sciences' Rotman Research Institute in Toronto looked at some of those passengers to try to understand how traumatic events might affect people long-term.

"Here we have a group of people who all experienced the same extremely intense trauma," lead researcher Dr. Daniela Palombo said in a Baycrest news release.

"How each of them responded to this terrifying event has been informative for helping us move a step closer toward understanding the brain processes involved in traumatic memory," said Palombo, who is a postdoctoral researcher at VA Boston Healthcare System.

She noted that some of the flight 236 passengers went on to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while others did not.

In the first phase of the study, passengers were tested three years later on their recollection of the harrowing flight. They were also asked about their memories of 9/11 (which occurred a month after the plane incident), as well as a neutral event.

The passengers typically recalled their near-death experience on flight 236 in great detail -- even if they did not suffer from PTSD, the researchers found.

In the second phase of the study, conducted 10 years after the first phase, eight of the passengers underwent brain scans while watching news footage of the Air Transat incident. They also watched footage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and a neutral event. Most of these passengers did not have PTSD.

Even so, these passengers still had clear memories of the flight, according to the study published online June 23 in the journal Clinical Psychological Science.

"This traumatic incident still haunts passengers, regardless of whether they have PTSD or not," Palombo said. "They remember the event as though it happened yesterday. Other more mundane experiences tend to fade with the passage of time, but trauma leaves a lasting memory trace. We've uncovered some hints into the brain mechanisms through which this may occur."

Brains scans revealed increased activity in a network of brain regions involved in emotional memory, including the amygdala, hippocampus and midline frontal and posterior regions.

Brain responses were similar when passengers viewed images of 9/11 -- a less personal, but still horrific, event. This heightened brain activity was not seen in a control group of people as they recalled the events of 9/11.

The bottom line, according to the researchers: The scare the passengers had on the Air Transat flight may have changed the way their brains processed information, making them more sensitive to other negative life experiences.

A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for @FiredBigBird

After rocketing to super-stardom last night, the Twitter account started in response to Mitt Romney's promise to cut PBS funding was suspended, unsuspended, and then suspended again.

@FiredBigBird rocketed to more than 20,000 followers, and ever since has been suspended, unsuspended, suspended, and then unsuspended again. Screen shot by CNET

Twitter memes can come out of nowhere and take the world by storm. Such was the case last night with the creation of @FiredBigBird, an account started in apparent protest of Mitt Romney's promise in the presidential debate to axe PBS' funding.

Quickly rocketing to more than 20,000 followers, @FiredBigBird was the Big Bird-related ID of choice for "Sesame Street" fans upset at the Republican presidential nominee's threat to the TV network and the tall, yellow feathered star of that hit kids show.

Perhaps the biggest star of the first presidential debate was 'Sesame Street' character Big Bird. Twitter user @FiredBigBird

But today was not such a good day for @FiredBigBird. Only hours after becoming a star in the face of the largest U.S. political event in the history of Twitter, the account was suspended this morning, according to the Washington Post. Things later looked brighter when the account was unsuspended, and as of the start of this writing, @FiredBigBird was trapped in Twitter lockdown hell once again.

There are many reasons why a Twitter account can be suspended. And Twitter isn't saying why @FiredBigBird was placed in limbo, noting that the company doesn't comment on individual accounts.

But the Washington Post reported that the owner of the account told it that the initial suspension was likely the result of some sort of "automatic function."

"An e-mail from Twitter to the man behind @FiredBigBird, signed by something called the 'Zendesk,' reported that the account was suspended for 'sending multiple unsolicited messages using the @reply and/or mention feature,'" the Post wrote. "In the same e-mail, the Zendesk announced the account had been reinstated. @FiredBigBird soon sent a tweet to his followers, now about 26,000 and counting, joking that Obama's stimulus funding had come through, allowing for his revival. In an e-mail interview after the suspension, the man behind the Twitter feed played it down, saying it was the result of an automatic function and not an attempt to suppress free speech."

The good news is that by the time this article was finished, the account was once again live, and now sporting 28,621 followers. But @FiredBigBird's owner seems aware that sentience can be a temporary thing, and is now urging fans to follow an emergency back-up account, @FiredBigBird2.

But just in case both of those accounts disappear, take comfort in the knowledge that @FireMeElmo is alive and kicking. And (hopefully) not going anywhere.

Home / no label / Traffic – Pop Spectacular: BBC 1970 (no label)

Traffic – Pop Spectacular: BBC 1970 (no label)

Pop Spectacular:  BBC 1970 (no label)

Paris Theatre, London, England – April 30th, 1970

(54:08):  Intro., Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring, mc, Every Mother’s Son, mc, No Time To Live, mc, Medicated Goo, mc, John Barleycorn, mc, Pearly Queen, mc, Empty Pages, mc, Glad, Freedom Rider

Pop Spectacular:  BBC 1970 captures Traffic’s radio session right when they reformed as a three piece and finished working on John Barleycorn Must Die.  This release is sourced straight from the original BBC transcription service disc (CN 1876/S) with very little surface noise.

The trio of Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood switch instruments throughout the broadcast and even features Wood playing sax as the bass line in “Medicated Goo.”  They play the yet to be released new album except for “Stranger To Himself” and the only older songs played are “No Time To Live,” “Pearly Queen” and “Medicated Goo.”  DJ John Peel offers commentary between each song leading the listener through the various instrument changes and commenting on the songs they are playing.

The show beings with Peel saying, “Of all the stories of groups breaking up constantly in the music papers it’s really nice to have one of the all time great ones get together again.  And it’s even nicer to have them on this program.  Traffic.”  “Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring” sounds tremendous in the recording with intricate organ lines weaving around the rhythm section.  “I hope you agree with me that Traffic are playing better than ever.  Very relaxed and really nice.  This is from their second LP together released in 1968” Peel says before “No Time To Live.”

Before “Medicated Goo” Peel explains, “On this next number there is a certain amount of change of instrumentation.  To begin with Chris will be playing the bass part on tenor saxophone as a result of electronic trickery too complex for me to explain it to you.  Not that I understand it myself.  Steve will be playing guitar and Steve and Jim will be singing it.”

With its uptempo beat and happy melody, it is a good change of pace from the rest of the material which is both very contemplative and serious.  On “John Barleycorn” they sing the lyrics from the fifteenth century rendition of the song but they mess up the lyrics at the end with Capaldi singing the correct version while Winwood sings the last verse causing them to fall apart.

Peel introduces “Pearly Queen” as one of his favorite Traffic numbers and afterwards compliments Winwood’s guitar playing by saying, “so if you’re a guitarist and you think you gotta go on playing those same old blues riffs at ear shattering volume in order to make it, you don’t and that’s proof of it.”  Before the ending Peel remarks how great it is to see a band actually smiling as they play.

Traffic close with the “Glad” and “Freedom Rider” medley.  The spectacular contrast in styles in the tracks comes through clearly and Wood’s flute solo sounds tremendous against the organ.  This title is packaged in a single jewel case and is limited to two hundred copies.

If you liked this review, buy me a cup of joe. (Suggested: $3 a shot or $7.5 for a double)

  1. This is an excellent sounding Traffic boot and I agree the surface noise from the vinyl is no issue. The band sounds great as a three piece and its nice to hear John Peel describing who is playing what. I can easily recommend this title to Traffic fans.

  2. I remember hearing this on vinyl some years ago and I recall it being a clear and good recording. I don’t know of any other CD or CDR releases. Fans of Traffic might also want to get hold of ‘Home Away From Home’ on the Mainstream label. This is a 2CD set from the Fillmore West, June 30 1970. It’s claimed to be a soundboard, though I’m not so sure myself. What’s of interest however is a complete performance of John Barleycorn Must Die.

  3. At this time the BBC distributed their programs through their worldwide service on vinyl instead of tape. Although it is preferable to hear these old sessions from the actual studio tapes, that oftentimes isn’t possible and the best we can do is to hear them from these old transcription discs. Regarding this Traffic session, the CD is sourced from a very clean copy of one of the transcription discs. There is minor surface noise but the sound is excellent. I unfortunately have not heard other versions of this show. Does anyone know how this compares?

  4. Is a “transcription service disc” comparable to a master tape, or a soundboard recording? You mention surface noise, so I wonder if it is similar to an acetate. This show has been previously booted from the BBC broadcast in very good sound; can you say how they stack up?

More Violence Erupts at TDKR Showing

More Violence Erupts at TDKR Showing

Moviegoers panicked and fled a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" when a fight broke out inside a theater in Pennsylvania on Sunday.

Moviegoers are still skittish after the terrifying events that occurred in Aurora, Colorado last week. Huffington Post is reporting that another event took place at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises. Thankfully this time it was just a fight between two people, but a jittery audience panicked which escalated the incident.

Just two days after a gunman opened fire and killed 12 people at a "Dark Knight" premiere in Colorado, ticket holders were nearly trampled by a fearful audience at a Loews theater near Pittsburgh, according to the Post-Gazette.

The stampede began when two people started yelling inside.

"There were two people who got into an argument, and one person yelled something that induced people to get into a panic," Witness Colin Marks, 25, told the paper.

The entire audience evacuated so quickly that witnesses said they had to dodge people who fell to the ground. Two people suffered minor injuries in the melee.

"It was scary. People were screaming. Everyone was running, kind of pushing each other. People were dropping things. Everyone was getting down. It was definitely chaotic. Everyone's heart was racing," one witness told WPXI.

EXCLUSIVE: Interview With Superman Contender Anderson Davis!

EXCLUSIVE: Interview With <I>Superman</i> Contender Anderson Davis!

MrDCUniverse has a CBM exclusive with this interview with the man who's in the news (today) as a potential Superman in Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan's The Man of Steel.

Before I start I would like to say about Davis. He is a genuinely top bloke who definitely knows what he is talking about. Yes, he is a model but has been studying acting for two and a half years now and doesn't want to rush straight into it without proper training and honing his skills. He seems passionate about acting and the role of Superman. He certainly knows a lot about the character and where the character of Superman should be in 2012 and in the modern day age. He doesn't or hasn't campaigned for the role like some actors (Joe Manganiello) and didn't realise he was closely linked until now. And for a bit of trivia, he has already been doing some Superman work doing the voice over work on the DVD "All Star Superman" which he recorded in October 2010.

MrDCU: Are you looking at applying or going for the role of Superman in The Man of Steel?
Anderson:From my understanding this will be a large casting. I'm sure they will strip LA and NY clean until they have found their guy. I have a team of people keeping their eyes and ears open regarding castings start-up.

If so what do you think you can bring to the character that other actors wouldn't? Would you look to Christopher Reeve's portrayal for inspiration or go in a completely different direction?
Though I love Reeve's portrayal I would try to take it down another path, Superman is such an iconic character who has a foundation of based beliefs, keeping that foundation but not being afraid to explore the possibilities of the character would be a lot of fun. Superman was also a human, therefore he was flawed. I think to see him as a perfect being all the time just makes the character lack reality. He needs true human emotion, be a person we can relate to and that same to look up to as our hero.

How do you think Superman can be relevant to todays audience, a major stumbling block with films nowadays being based heavily on reality? In other words, how do you make a man flying in blue tights with red underpants over them appealing?
I think there are so many factors involved here obviously. But a very interesting question being that both films and Tv are suppling a large dose of reality and people love it, for whatever reason is beyond me. Simply put, you have to make a good movie with a good story, I don't think people will ever lose that desire all humans have to look up to something or worship something greater than and outside of ourselves. Superheroes strike a match on the imagination and allow us to live outside the mundane confines of our own lives through them. So I think there will always be room for a Superman there.

What would it mean to you to work with a Director like Zack Snyder?
Im a big fan of Zach' work , he a very talented guy, and really knows how to visually hit you upside the head. It would be an amazing exp. to work with him.

Who would be your preferred villain for Superman?
I would definitely have to go with doomsday and think it would draw the audience, and be a smart choice for the WB as a starting point.

The android Brainiac is reported to be making his first appearance on the big screen facing Superman along with Lex Luthor?
I'm not sure what villains making a stand this time vs. superman, but I don't think it's a long shot saying most are sick of Lex Luthor!

Well I'd like to thank Anderson for taking the time out of his schedule to answer these questions and answering questions that fans across the globe reading articles about him are thinking. I don't think they would be disappointed with his answer. He seems to know his history and exactly what should be put on screen in 2012. I wish him all the best if he gets to try out (which is likely). I certainly like his answers and has definitely made him one of my favourites to get the role. He definitely has the look I am looking for in Superman.

On Hotter Planet, Expect More Weather Extremes, say Reports

On Hotter Planet, Expect More Weather Extremes, say Reports

While new data reveals 2013 as one of the hottest, climate experts call for global action

Jacob Chamberlain, staff writer

Super Typhoon Haiyan (NOAA/AFP/Getty Images)

Two new reports released amid the UN climate talks in Warsaw this week show that weather extremes are only on the rise and that those facing the most dire consequences are the countries that have contributed least to climate change.

Don't expect weather extremes to peter out anytime soon, warned the UN World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Michel Jarraud Wednesday, citing the release of a new report showing that this year has been one of the warmest on record and global sea levels have reached an all-time high.

"This year once again continues the underlying, long-term trend," towards higher temperatures and sea-level rise, said Jarraud. The year now ranks as the seventh hottest since records began in 1850.

While ice caps continue to melt and sea levels creep higher, low-lying coastal regions such as those devastated over the weekend by Super Typhoon Haiyan, are ever more susceptible to disaster, Jarraud said.

"Although individual tropical cyclones cannot be directly attributed to climate change, higher sea levels are already making coastal populations more vulnerable to storm surges. We saw this with tragic consequences in the Philippines," he said.

Jarraud continued:

Sea levels will continue to rise because of melting ice caps and glaciers. More than 90 percent of the extra heat we are generating from greenhouse gas is absorbed by the oceans, which will consequently continue to warm and expand for hundreds of years.

According to the report, the current average sea-level rise is double that of the 20th-century.

However, in the Philippines sea levels have averaged four times the global rate.

The WMO report follows a study released Tuesday, also in Warsaw, which lists the countries most affected by these increasingly severe weather events—with Haiti, the Philippines and Pakistan at the top of the list.

The Global Climate Risk Index 2014 released by Germanwatch highlights that "less developed countries are generally more affected than industrialized countries," a topic of contention at the Warsaw climate talks as developed countries such as the U.S. are once again trying to evade fiscal and social responsibility.

“These are the countries that have contributed least to climate change because they have tiny emissions, yet they are the countries that are suffering most from it," said Christoph Bals, policy director of Germanwatch. "Developed countries that have caused the problem have a moral responsibility to help."

"The climate summit 2013 held in Warsaw, Poland, is a defining moment and should mark a turning point for the international community by starting immediately to scale-up its response in addressing climate change and the increasing loss and damage," the Index states. "The window of time to put the world on track to stay below the 2°C guardrail is closing rapidly, and Warsaw must trigger new dynamics."

Desktop PC won't boot

February 7, 2011 at 06:45:44
Specs: Windows 7 64bit Home Pr., AMD / 4GB Crucial
Hello all. About a month ago I was installing a notebook HDD in my desktop in order to pull files from it. I couldn't find my extra SATA cable, so I decided I could quickly and easily take the one running to my case's front panel e-sata slot and use it. This was much tougher than it appeared because of how it was routed through the case. When I finally got it connected I tried powering on, and had no luck. I went into melt down mode disconnecting everything and going through fault isolation, all to no avail. Finally I ran the SATA cable back to the front panel, and put everything back together the way it was. Still nothing. (MOBO Standby light, but when power button was pressed, nothing happened). Unfortunately I was needed elsewhere for a while, and stopped messing with it. After an hour or so, I came back, and before I dove back in, simply pressed the power button again... IT WORKED. I thought the problem was over, until the workstation was powered off again, and wouldn't boot yet again. This time I waited about 20 minutes, and tried again; it worked. So, here we are. I've never heard of anything like this, and although I'm not a computer technician/engineer, I have put together many builds, and understand most hardware concepts.
Key components:
Athlon X2 4200
Silverstone 600W Modular PSU
CoolerMaster Storm Scout case

Ok. So for some reason my trick of leaving the computer plugged in for 20 minutes before trying to power it on no longer works. I can't get a response at all. I've disconnected everything but the CPU/HSF and 1 DIMM, and even tried booting with direct contact to PWR Switch pins. I'm getting no response. Motherboard SB Power is still on.

Update again.
Well, it looks to be the motherboard at this point. I was able to jump the PSU and get it to fire up and power the HSF and case fans. Looks like the motherboard isn't returning the boot signal. Maybe a mobo short? I'm about to remove it entirely from the case, clean, and inspect everything.

What is a Constitution?

Text Size a a a Print Print this page

A constitution is a set of rules defining a system of government. It describes the institutional structure, the conditions under which power is held and exercised, and the procedures through which the rules themselves may be changed.

It sits above ordinary laws. It has provisions for coping with the need for changes.

Most constitutions are written or codified and place less reliance on accepted practices or "conventions". One exception is the United Kingdom where all constitutional rules are not in one written document but are found in Acts of Parliament, common law or judicial law and conventions.

Our Commonwealth Constitution is a single document. The Western Australian Constitution, on the other hand, is found in many places and not in one single document.

Case   |   Mali

In Mali, rebels assault journalist, force station off the air

Rebel fighters of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), a separatist movement of ethnic Tuaregs in northern Mali, stormed the offices of private Radio Adar Khoïma in the northeastern town of Gao on April 3, 2012, according to local journalists and news reports. The rebels kidnapped a journalist and assaulted him, and forced the station off the air for 72 hours, the sources said.

Malick Aliou Maïga told Agence France-Presse that the rebels took him to their camp, beat him, and threatened to kill him. He said the rebels told him he should not criticize them and then released him after an hour, AFP reported.

Radio Adar Khoïma Director Boubacar Djibrila told CPJ that the rebels were angry at Maïga's coverage of local citizens' criticism of the MNLA fighters using weapons to forcefully seize the town. MNLA rebels had seized Gao and other towns in the region at the end of March 2012, according to news reports.

The station was allowed to resume broadcasting after negotiations between the local elders and the rebels, Djibrila told CPJ.

Mohamed Assaley, a rebel official, told AFP that "[Maïga] said things that go beyond freedom of the press. We gave him advice and we let him go, that's it."

what a fun idea for a swap...i missed this the first time around...i love that bag...what a great idea...and those slippers look really soft, what pattern/yarn did you use?

The slipper pattern is a variation of this one. I crocheted 2 rows of DC around the top for a better fit.

And the yarn is caron. Not sure of the name I sent the wrapper with the slippers for washing instructions. I think it may be a discontinued yarn because Im finding a lot of it in the dollar stores around here. It has little flecks of sparkily stuff spun thru it if that helps...

This is my sister's costume. I made the entire thing from scratch (excluding the tights and shoes). It's the most complete outfit i've ever made, so im pretty proud. You can't see all the pieces because she was wearing a hoodie.

This was the first year she went trick or treating with her friends instead of us, so my mom and i were sitting around her house feeling left out. We got the woderful idea to dress up the only baby we have left. So we rooted through the old costume box and put together...

my dog's costume, which i made the skirt for my sister's costume last year. surprisingly, she didn't hate us. She actually loved getting all the attention from the people who came to our door.

That's an absolutely gorgeous costume and wig (!!). Did you glue the strands, or tie them? (And wow, you've got an incredibly tolerant dog  Grin. She makes a very cute fairy. I would've died laughing and taken 100 pictures if I ever saw something like that in real life.)

Okay, I know I should say I like your sister's costume better...but your dog is SO cute! Okay, really, you did an awesome job on her costume.

Craft till it hurts.
« Reply #3 on: November 07, 2006 07:12:52 AM »

First off, thanks for the compliments! The wig is two halves that were sewn to strips of fabric that were then sewn inside the edges of the hat (which happened to be cut out of all of those pictures..) It was a raggedy-ann style muffin top type hat. The whole thing just sort of sat ontop of her head and was pinned to her braided hair underneath.

Our dog is amazing! She's half pit bull and solid muscle, but the sweetest, most well-behaved, baby of a dog. The wings bothered her a little at first, but watching her spin around in circles trying to grab them with her teeth (hence, the holes) was hilarious anyway. A few "Leave-it's" and she was fine until we decided we had tolerated our whim enough and took the costume off!

I love having such a good puppy. There's nothing quite like going to the dog park and making all the other dogs look like doofuses.

Pattern Download

Trimsies Diaper pattern (cloth diaper)

Skill Level

What You Get

  • 1 digital pattern (instant download)
  • Free Pattern Updates

How it works

  • This pattern was designed by a Craftsy independent design partner!
  • You'll purchase through PayPal and all profits go to the designer.
  • After purchase find your pattern in your pattern library.

If you are frustrated with the bulk of most cloth diapers, you need to try Trimsies. Trimsies fit under "normal" clothing (rather than having to size up to accomodate a puffy cloth diaper bottom). Trimsies are trim and they also fit well. The side snapping feature allows for adjusting waist and legs separately (so they fit even those hard-to-fit kids). The Trimsies diaper pattern is an 18 page PDF document that includes detailed instructions, pictures, and pattern pieces. There are helpful tips and tricks sprinkled throughout the instructions as well. The instructions will guide you through making side-snapping fitted and all-in-one diapers. The pattern sizes include Small, Medium, and Large. For more photos of Trimsies diapers, additional information about sizing and recommended fabric as well as licensing information, please see: What are people saying about the Trimsies diaper pattern? "Fantastic pattern by the way. I've bought several diaper patterns now (4), and yours is by far the most well thought out, developed, and most extensive instructions and illustrations - really nice end product." "I just wanted to tell you how much I adore your pattern. I actually have 10 large other diaper pattern outers cut out and 5 other pattern outers embroidered, and I'm not even going to sew them up! I'm starting my whole large stash over again so I can do them all as Trimsies." SIZING / FINISHED MEASUREMENTS The pattern sizes include Small, Medium, and Large (which generally fits newborn through potty training) The size SMALL fits newborns (down to waist size of 10" and thighs of 6") and the LARGE size fits up to waist sizes of 23" and thighs of up to 13"

Fujifilm LH-X100

Lens hood and adapter ring for the Fujifilm X100 camera

2 Reviews

Item # 072LHX100

This item is no longer available.

Shop all Miscellaneous Accessories

Our take on the Fujifilm LH-X100

Enjoy added versatility and protection for your Fujifilm X100 with the LH-X100. This durable metal lens hood/adapter ring combination attaches to the front of your camera's lens, shading it from the glare of direct light and protecting it from accidental bumps and scratches. The adapter ring also makes it possible to use standard threaded 49mm filters on your camera for more photographic possibilities.

The hood is perfect, it protects the lens and shields the sun. When shooting out doors. Alittle pricey, but worth it.

Rob M, Brooklyn, NY

What's in the Box:

  • LH-X100 Lens hood
  • AR-X100 Adapter ring
  • Soft drawstring pouch

Product Highlights:

  • adapter ring and lens hood set for Fujifilm X100 camera
  • adapter ring replaces camera's supplied lens ring and allows use of standard 49mm filters
  • hood acts as sunshade and protects lens from bumps and scratches
  • durable metal construction
  • storage pouch included
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Fujifilm LH-X100 Reviews

Fujifilm LH-X100

Rob M from Brooklyn, NY on 5/13/2013

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

The hood is perfect, it protects the lens and shields the sun. When shooting out doors. Alittle pricey, but worth it.

Pros: Great fit

Cons: Side vents let dust in.

Fujifilm LH-X100

TonyW from Florida on 9/25/2011

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Adapter ring and hood well made and fit nicely. Very pricey and I'm not sure I'll be using the hood very much. If you are on a budget I'd probably suggest getting the adapter ring alone (there is also a non Fuji one available for considerably less). I think putting a protective UV filter is a must since this is a fixed lens and any significant scratches would ruin a fantastic camera.

Hands-on research

Product Research

Overview: The Fujifilm LH-X100 is an aluminum lens hood made exclusively for use with the FinePix X100 digital camera. It includes the AR-X100 adapter ring, which is required to attach the lens hood to the camera. The adapter ring can also be used for mounting optional 49mm (diameter) filters from third-party suppliers. A soft carrying pouch is included for storage.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what’s in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
