Nostalgia for some of the regular team! One of our first excavations to feature on TV was a Spitfire for Channel 4’s long-running archaeology series ‘Time Team’.

The subject was a Spitfire shot down during the battle for Dunkirk. The crash site of Paul Klipsch’s Spitfire was first located by the late Alan Brown and his wife. The pair spent their holidays touring Europe in their psychedelically painted VW camper van searching for aircraft wrecks.

Regular Time Team member Guy de la Beédoyère had approached Steve Vizard at that time with a proposal to feature a Spitfire recovery in a future programme. Steve thought that Alan’s discovery might make a particularly interesting topic and the long road to making the idea a reality began.

Over the classic ‘three-day formula' Tony Robinson and his team unearthed much of the aircraft. As a finale, display pilot Charlie Brown flew Guy Black’s Mark V Spitfire BM597 over the site in tribute to Paul Klipsch.

Sergeant Paul Klipsch

Paul was born in Crosby, Lancashire, in 1916. Although his name was of German origin, his father’s family had been in Britain for three generations and his father had been in the Royal Flying Corps in WW1. In the 1920s his parents divorced; his father emigrated to Australia and his mother later re-married. Paul’s step-father was Reginald Wynn Owen, a widower who had three children of his own, Ruth, Elaine and Eric.

Paul joined the RAF in 1933 and trained to be an aircraft fitter at Horton and served pre-war in Palestine and Egypt. When war was declared all three men of the family took up arms: Paul was selected for pilot training and was posted as a Spitfire pilot to No. 92 Squadron in February 1940. His younger step-brother Eric joined the army and later fought in the Normandy landings. His step-father Reginald served in the Home Guard alongside comedy writer Jimmy Perry who wrote the comedy series Dad’s Army; it is said that Jimmy Perry based the character of the platoon’s first-aider Godfrey on Reg.

Framing memory

27 June 2019 by Claire Hunter

Conservator Janet Hearne at work.

Conservator Janet Hearne at work in the Memorial's painted surfaces lab.

Imagine trying to work on the reverse of a fragile sheet of glass while looking in a mirror. That’s exactly what conservator Janet Hearne had to do for Framing memory, an exhibition of reverse-painted glass-framed photographs at the Australian War Memorial.

The Memorial holds the largest-known collection in the world of rare and fragile reverse-painted glass framed portraits, and this exhibition is the first time 13 of them have been on display together. A fourteenth portrait is on display in the First World War Galleries.

Before they could be exhibited, they were sent to the Memorial’s painted surfaces lab for conservation.

“They are really interesting objects to work on,” Hearne said.

“I hadn’t worked on anything like this before, and what’s interesting about the reverse glass portraits is the way you have to work on them.

“Because they are painted on the reverse, you need to be looking at the front of the glass while you are working with the paint from the back.

“This involved setting up a mirrored work area, essentially a glass topped table with a mirror placed beneath so you can see what’s actually happening with the treatment as it progresses.

“The glass components ranged in condition, some were in very good condition, but others showed signs of deterioration, for example flaking and detachment of the paint from the glass creating visible air pockets and in some cases loss of original paint.”

Some of the objects also had masking tape and other paper components attached to the back that were affecting the front.

Hearne had to research how best to conserve the objects.

“It took quite a bit of research before I actually started to work on the objects: that was research into the types of materials that I would want to use, the adhesives and retouching mediums.

“It also meant experimentation, and looking at how things would work.

“The adhesive that I used was a new adhesive, one I hadn’t used before. It was chosen for a number of reasons. It’s water soluble, but it’s also able to be altered with the addition of solvents to change its working characteristics, like viscosity, strength or drying times.

“It has a similar refractive index to glass, which means that the clarity of it is very good. Because the adhesive is going to be visible through the front of the glass, that’s really important.

“It is also a stable adhesive that we wouldn’t expect to discolour over time; and also reversible, so it’s able to be removed in the future if necessary. That is a really important part of conservation – that you use materials that can be removed and re-treated if necessary.”

 She also had to work closely with the Memorial’s paper lab to conserve the objects.

“They are made up of three distinct components,” Hearne said.

“There’s the wooden frame, and the reverse-painted glass, and then the photograph that sits within that. The paper lab worked on the photographs, and was also really involved in the framing and the matting, and then the reframing of them so that they were safely housed, a really important aspect of their ongoing preservation.

“It’s been quite challenging, but really interesting as well. I had to get the right material that I was happy with for the adhesives, but then adapt the approach to each of the different challenges that each of the glass portraits presented.

“I’m happy with the result. One of the interesting aspects has been balancing the objective of stabilisation and achieving a good aesthetic result with accepting some of the limitations imposed by the object itself. It’s about accepting some of the damage as part of the history and the life of the object.”

For Hearne, it’s important to maintain the integrity of the work while also preserving it for future generations.

“I really enjoy my work as a conservator,” she said. “I like the mixture of science and art and the practicality of it. It’s hands on, and we get the privilege to work closely with significant and often beautiful  items held in the National Collection, and ensure that they are seen in the best light possible.”

Framing Memory is on display in the Captain Reg Saunders Gallery at the Memorial until 2 July.

Framing memory also features in episode six of Louise Maher’s podcast series, Collected: stories from the Australian War Memorial.  To listen, visit here.

Adam Schiff says House Democrats would subpoena Mueller report

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told ABC's "This Week" that House Democrats will "obviously subpoena the [Mueller investigation's final] report" and work to have special counsel Robert Mueller testify before Congress if the Justice Department decides not make the report public.

The big picture: Schiff also said that he believes the Justice Department "understands" its role in making the report public, adding that there is "immense pressure" on Attorney General Bill Barr to ensure the report's release.

Ciara Talks Weight Loss After Pregnancy

A year after giving birth to her daughter, Ciara is opening up about how she lost 50lbs and is getting close to her pre-pregnancy weight. The entertainer is a mom to two. Sienna, her daughter with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russel Wilson just turned one.  Her son Future, with ex-boyfriend Future, will be four next month.

Mamma Can Still Drop It Low....☺😎

A post shared by Ciara (@ciara) on

While pregnant with Sienna, Ciara gained 65 lbs. She knew it would be hard work to lose the weight and then having two children added to the chaos increases the need for some real dedication. But she was determined. Ciara was busy with breastfeeding, taking her older son to school, and working out. Just like with regular moms, she had to find a balance that worked in her life.

In an interview with People Magazine, Ciara revealed her crazy schedule to get back in shape. "I would wake up, breastfeed, then get Future ready for school. Then after I take him to school, come back and work out. Then after I work out, breastfeed and go back and get Future from school. Come back and breastfeed, then go work out again”. That really does sound exhausting!

Hitting the gym twice a day is an intense routine for anyone, but Ciara would take it one step further. She would sometimes workout three times in one day! After spending the evening at home, and putting her kids to sleep, she would head out for another calorie-burning session.

Her effort and commitment has really paid off.  Losing 50 lbs is quite an accomplishment that anyone should be proud of and she did it all in just five months after giving birth!

While working out, Ciara discovered that she has developed diastasis recti. This is a post-partum condition that causes the large abdominal muscles to separate making it more difficult to achieve flat abs. Those with it need to work a little harder and may need to switch up their technique in order to get a pre-pregnancy belly.

No one can dispute that Ciara didn't work hard! She looks great! And we certainly wish we had her drive to get fit!

What do you do to keep active and healthy with a baby? Let us know in the comments!

What Can I Become with a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering?

Engineering is one of the broadest and most lucrative fields nowadays, but navigating through the options also means taking into consideration the career perspectives upon graduation.

A Bachelor’s degree with a lot of potential and ample employment opportunities is Chemical Engineering. But what specifically does this study programme empower you to become and do?

Find Bachelors in Chemical Engineering

First of all, you should know that chemical engineers don’t just sit in labs all day, combining substances and making sure they don’t explode. That is just only a small part of their work, as they can dabble in areas like food and agriculture, oil and gas, health and the environment.

Where can you study a Chemical Engineering Bachelor’s degree?

Some of the most popular Bachelor’s degrees in Chemical Engineering can be found, based on our awesome data, at:

A Chemical Engineering Bachelor’s degree can manage to open doors in many fields, in terms of work opportunities. The most common jobs Chemical Engineering graduates engage in are:

1. Become a Chemical Plant and System Operator

You can get hired by chemical manufacturing companies that make soaps, paint, coating, pesticide manufacturing, and more.

Chemical engineers ensure that all the equipment used in chemical plants are working according to standards. That’s why they have to inspect, make tests, and instruct all personnel how to use the equipment. They also have to occasionally run tests, check for any troubleshoots, and make or suggest adjustments.

The main responsibility is to improve plant quality, efficiency and safety, and that, overall, the plant produces good results.

And, if those results are actually good, and you don’t blow up the whole plant, you can expect an average salary of 52.700 EUR/year.

2. Become a Manufacturing Production Technician

The largest potential employers for graduates of Chemical Engineering Bachelor’s students are chemical goods manufacturing companies. And say that three times, fast, without making a mistake.

Chemical engineers work directly with machinery and equipment used in the process of manufacturing raw materials (e.g.: oil, iron, coal, etc.), or goods (clothing, medication, pesticides, etc.).

They will be responsible for setting up the equipment and ensuring all regulations and safety measures are met. During the manufacturing process, chemical engineers will continue to run tests, monitor equipment, and adjust equipment operations, if needed.

They also inspect finished products, check their quality, and make other inspections to make sure they would meet customer satisfaction. And, if requirements are met, you can expect a salary of around 61.800 EUR/year.

Chemical Engineering Bachelor's degrees

3. Become a Food Scientist

Not surprisingly, Chemical Engineering graduates are largely pursued by food manufacturing companies, as well as universities, government organisations, and research institutes.

One of the most popular careers among chemical engineers is the food scientist position, that involves evaluating the nutritional value, colour, flavour and texture of food.

In this field, chemical engineers combine knowledge and skills in Chemistry, Microbiology and Engineering to test food samples, produce new food products and make sure the end result meets government, processing, and consumer standards.

Besides taking care not to poison people, you can expect 50.500 EUR/year.

4. Become a Biotechnologist

Such a position is of high importance for pharmaceutical companies and medical research institutes.

In the biotechnology and medical fields, chemical engineers can work to develop new drugs, vaccines, experimental treatments, and even artificial organs.

They will study, research and apply principles of human genetics to living cells and use biological techniques to create antibiotics, insulin, hormones, and go beyond the classical treatment of diseases.

Chemical engineers are more focused on determining and treating the genetic cause of an illness, and that’s why you can expect a salary of around 50.200 EUR/year.

5. Become an Environmental and Healthcare Engineer

You will find positions at NGOs, environmental consulting firms, as well as waste management companies.

For those interested in saving the environment, you can achieve this as a chemical engineer. This way, you can find work in areas related to the environment, waste treatment, minimising the pollution and other current environmental issues.

Working together with scientists, environmental or industrial engineers, chemical engineers contribute to reducing negative environmental impacts. One notable example is developing engines for cars and machinery with more efficient fuel and air-management systems.

Besides taking care of our planet (and thank you for that), you can also make around 53.900 EUR/year.

Worldwide study options for Bachelors in Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering, being a field that can cross borders, can be studied in any country, making it the perfect subject for the international student.

If that caught your attention, you should definitively check destinations, like:

Whether you’re an environmentalist that wants to do their part, a creative scientist who will develop the materials of the future, or a researcher thirsty for knowledge about the way the world works, studying a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering is the ideal degree to get you on your way.

The Lady Losers, Part Four: Juliet

What can you say about a fertility doctor who detonated a twenty-ton hydrogen bomb?

Quite a bit, actually, and most of it good. Juliet is one of the more accomplished characters in the Lost universe, male or female, and a lot of what she did doesn’t seem to have any significant connection to her gender, unlike being a love interest (like Kate), a mother (like Claire), a dedicated wife (like Sun), or a bullet-riddled corpse that men can shed tears over (like Shannon, Ana-Lucia and Libby).

Before I get into it, however, I’ll point out to anyone reading this series for the first time that I was inspired to look at how gender works on Lost and whether the show’s female characters seem to suffer especially dreadful hardships in comparison to the men. I was motivated to consider this after reading and the A.V. Club’s review of the “Dr. Linus” episode. The article suggested that women on the show do get screwed over, and I’m starting to think that it may be true.

Here are the previous posts that focused on Lost’s ladies, with a quick summary of whether the character in question got put through the ringer:
Hit the jump for my take on the good Doctor Burke.

Think about it: Of all the female Losers I’ve profiled so far, who actually has a good job? Like, not just any form of employment but the kind you’d have to work hard to get — the kind that commands respect?

Kate never seemed to have a job, unless I’m mistaken. And though Sun escapes from the island and buys a controlling share in her father’s company, we never see her actually involving herself with whatever the family business is. Claire worked at a fast food restaurant. Shannon worked as a nanny and dance instructor, at least until she started scamming cash off her brother. Ana-Lucia is a disgraced cop forced to become an airport security worker. And Libby claimed to be a clinical psychologist, but there’s that whole possibility she’s a crazy evil liar. No, of all the women discussed so far, Juliet is the first one with a real, respectable job: fertility doctor. And she’s damn good at it too. As we learned in her first flashback episode, “Not in Portland,” she managed to get a male mouse pregnant, if only temporarily. She also managed to help her cancer-stricken sister, Rachel, conceive a child, despite doctors saying that doing so would be impossible. (Both are pretty cool, but am I weird for being more impressed with the mouse?)

I didn’t always have such fuzzy feelings for Juliet, however. (And yes, I realize that I could still accurately make that statement if I subbed in the names of a great many other Losers — Sawyer and Jin foremost among them.) Juliet, when we first met her, was the bad lady — Ben’s seeming consort whose outward friendliness seemed to belie a calculating mind. That’s not to say that Juliet doesn’t have a calculating mind; she does and it helped her survive on Four Toe Island a lot longer than many have. And it’s this mind that Juliet managed to extricate herself from the control of evil Ben and ultimately lead herself to the closest she’ll ever get to a happy ending: her three years in the 70s as Sawyer’s live-in lover and all-purpose partner.

But I’m skipping ahead. Talking about Lost often makes me feel free to do so.

Back when Juliet was a fairly normal person — not an action hero, not castaway — and just your run-of-the-mill genius fertility researcher, she was also essentially a damsel in distress. Accomplished in her field though she may have been, Juliet was in a loveless marriage to the dominating and controlling Edmund Burke. When Richard Alpert and his crew approached her about doing work form them — in Portland, as they explained it to her — she said her husband would never let her leave and, thus, she couldn’t participate unless her husband were to be hit by a bus. Then Edmund got his by a bus. “Thanks, magical men who materialized one day and saved me!” Off Juliet goes to Portland — or, rather, a nearby nameless island where women can’t seem to give birth properly.

Once inducted as an Other, Juliet found herself involved with two men: Goodwin, who happened to be married, and Ben, the chief Other who had romantic feelings for Juliet because she looked like “her,” as Goodwin’s wife Harper pointed out. (More on that line later.) So Juliet was already the other woman before 815 ever crashed and she became mixed up with Jack, Kate and Sawyer, at which point she became the other woman and the Other woman both at the same time. It generally doesn’t speak well of someone when they sleep with a married person, but for what it’s worth, the harpy-like Harper told Juliet that she didn’t care about the her husband’s affair. In any case, that relationship ended when Ana-Lucia impaled Goodwin during his botched reconnaissance mission. As for Ben, he ensured that Juliet would remain under his power by telling her that if she stayed on the island, Jacob would cure her sister’s cancer. Once again, Juliet gets dominated and controlled by a man, but I suppose the plus side of this instance is that she’s submitting to it for love of Rachel. So then Juliet became the female face of the Others, at least as far as Jack, Kate and Sawyer were concerned once they became captives of this group. She whipped out guns, gave commands and at one point assured Jack that she and Ben make decisions together.

Of course, she eventually abandoned her Other chums. In doing so, Juliet shot dead Pickett, the husband of the Other that Sun picked off, and was therefore tried by the Other “sheriff,” Isabel, and branded with the Cadbury’s egg symbol for her crime. (Seriously, that’s what the brand was. Read all about it.) More suffering. But it’s all part of Juliet’s attempt to jointhe Losers, which she eventually does successfully. And that’s pretty remarkable, considering that the pretense for her hanging out with the Losers in the first place was to root out any pregnant women and send them Ben’s way. Juliet was found out, owned up, and helped ambush Ben’s creepy crew. From that point on, pretty much everyone was cool with her, even letting her call the shots when Jack becomes incapacitated due to appendicitis. From this point on, she was a member of the A-Team, running around the jungle and going on her own adventures.

Juliet continues to get a lot to do during the fifth season, when her small band of Losers go skipping through time and eventually end up back in 1974. Ultimately, she and Sawyer create a remarkably stable life for themselves with the Dharma Initiative. Sawyer is the Dharma lawman, and Juliet takes a job that is decidedly un-medical and un-feminine: mechanic. So props, I guess, for getting out of the baby business. Life is idyllic, inasmuch as it can be on Four Toe Island, and Sawyer and Juliet seem to respect each other and make decisions jointly — kind of like how she once falsely described her partnership with Ben to Jack. The arrival of Hurley, Jack and Kate three years down the line blows Sawyer and Juliet’s cover, however, and eventually Juliet decides to join in the effort to detonate Jughead, the island’s resident twenty-megaton bomb, in hopes of altering the future, blowing apart the island and ensuring that 815 lands safely in Los Angeles. Only it doesn’t work. Juliet and Jughead’s core end up at the bottom of a well, buried beneath tons of scrap metal, and though Juliet is fatally wounded she has enough pep left to bash the core with a rock, finally setting it off in the final moment of the fifth season. Screen goes white. Poof.

And then it kind of worked. The rest of the gang wakes up in 2007 but still retaining the wounds they got in 1977, meaning Sayid is still suffering from a gunshot wound and Juliet’s wounds are no less fatal than they were moments ago. She dies in Sawyer’s arms and his guilt and regret for her death have driven much of his actions so for in this sixth season.

Juliet, in the end, became a member of the Women in Refrigerator club, though the path she took to get there was far more badass than the ones taken by Shannon or Libby, who got relatively little to do before their respective dirt naps. As her character progressed from the third to sixth season, Juliet proved to be strong, capable, and clever — just not enough that she got to stay alive. However, had Juliet died by someone else’s hand or had she simply fallen, lifeless, to the bottom of the well, I would have more problems with her exit from the show. As it stands now, however, I feel the death is fairly heroic one, what with her using her last ounce of strength to ensure that the Jughead mission succeeded. Did Juliet get screwed over? Yes, in that her efforts to escape the island ultimately helped her friends but got herself killed. But did she suffer more than she had coming to her? I don’t think so — at least no more so than other tortured souls like Sayid and Sawyer. Once Juliet freed herself from her husband and Ben, she acted as a free agent. And she got to become an action hero, too, going on various Loser ventures in which Kate might have previously been the only female member. In all, I feel Juliet was a strong, well-written character whose heroic death actually served as a fitting, organic end to her arc.

Two more things before I drop the subject of Juliet: First, what is up with her and getting burned? Literally, I mean.
And then, beyond that, there doesn’t seem to be any further association with Juliet and burns, unless you count the blast of the Jughead core as one big white-hot hell burn. Which is kind of is. But I don’t feel like the references to burns are foreshadowing to anything that happened in the fourth or fifth seasons.

And, finally, there’s Harper’s remark about Juliet looking just like “her.” In the fifth season, we find that a time-warped Juliet saved the life of a young Ben after Sayid shot the lad. Thus, Ben’s affection for Juliet could stem from the fact that she looked just like the nice mechanic lady who saved his life — because she was that very person. Ben might have even been aware that Juliet was this person from his childhood. But in any case, the lingering question of what Harper meant seems to have been answered.

As the third season progressed, however, I had other ideas. Perhaps Harper was referencing the fact that Juliet looked quite a bit like another character in the Lost universe: Diane, Kate’s mother. Seriously, look at these two actresses side-by-side and tell me they don’t look similar.

The resemblance is probably more likely a result of someone who does casting for the show having a very particular idea about what an engaging blonde woman would look like, which would probably account for why both Elizabeth Micthell (Juliet) and Beth Broderick (Diane) also look a little bit like Cynthia Watros (Libby), who doesn’t look all that different from Sonya Walger (Penny).

Or perhaps it’s all some kind of conspiracy — a pattern we’re meant to notice. Something about parallel dimensions. And so forth. There, I’m sure that’s it.

Next up: Nikki, Charlotte and Ilana.

    good article.
    I don't think women get any more screwed over on Lost than the men characters too. Every character has kind of gotten screwed over at one point or another on this show.

  2. I'm inclined to agree with you, but I think by the time I got to the last article in the series I felt differently — not so much in term of what happens to characters, as that's pretty even, but instead in terms of what characters are allowed to do, how important they turn out to be, and how a given characters' death impacts or does not impact the overall show.

  1. The Chocolate Show, London

    October 17, 2016 by sarah

    Yesterday, I answered that long-standing question – can you ever eat too much chocolate? I can now confirm the answer – yes! We went into London to The Chocolate Show, being held at Olympia. I originally found out about this show through the International Chocolate Awards, which were holding their ceremony at the show (but I missed it as it was on Friday when I could not attend). I could not believe there was so much high quality chocolate on one site! I spied lots of famous chocolatiers, including Paul A Young. We tried his chocolate afternoon tea at the show, which I have to say was the biggest disappointment (soggy bread, dense scones, dulche de leche instead of made caramel sauce, crystallised ganache). We signed up to a monthly chocolate subscription service so we can continue to eat good chocolate all year and I brought home a huge bag of chocolates and bars to try. It was also very inspirational in regards my amateur attempts at chocolate making – yuzu is the in thing, along with bean-to-bar producers.

BOSTON — Boston-based non-profit Oldways and its Whole Grains Council will celebrate the third annual Whole Grain Sampling Day on April 2 by encouraging restaurants, food service, food trucks, supermarkets and manufacturers to participate by offering special promotions and low-cost or no cost whole grain items to their patrons on that day.

“Most people only need to try a new whole grain to realize they like it,” said Cynthia Harriman, director of food and nutrition strategies for the Whole Grains Council and Oldways. “This means that the best way to increase whole grain consumption and nudge people to better health is to find ways to help everyone try more whole grains. We invite the entire food industry to celebrate Whole Grain Sampling Day with us this year.”

Among the first partners signed up to participate in this year’s event are McDonald’s, Compass Group, Barilla, Healthy Dining Finder and the American Institute of Cancer Research. Past partners have included Arby’s, several supermarket chains, Cooking Light magazine and many manufacturers.  With no fees, no contract, and almost no rules — virtually anything goes, as long as it celebrates whole grains.

The W.G.C. offered several suggestions on how to participate, including:

Food trucks. Food trucks from across the country are signing on to take part by highlighting whole grain items already on the menu from buckwheat noodles to whole grain bread; sampling new whole grain options; and swapping out refined grain choices for whole grain.

Restaurants and food service.  According to the W.G.C., kitchens of all sizes may take part in various ways, including highlighting existing whole grain menu items; offering a free dessert or beverage when a guest purchases a dish with whole grains; holding a cooking demo with free samples; and distributing coupons.

Supermarkets.  Many supermarket dietitians are planning Whole Grain Sampling Day festivities, including cooking demos, in-store sampling, coupons and scheduling Whole Grain Store Tours; television appearances.  Registered dietitians may sign up for the Oldways Nutrition Exchange and download a free Whole Grain Sampling Day Tool Kit for ideas/resources.

Manufacturers.  Food companies may take advantage of W.G.C.’s Matchmaking Services that connect manufacturers with supermarket partners for sampling and other events; offer special coupons; contribute whole grain products to W.G.C.’s blogger ambassador gift packs; run a sweepstakes or giveaway; introduce a new product; or create a special event.

The W.G.C. will list all participants on its web site starting in early February and broadcast news to its newsletter subscribers and social media contacts.

To participate or for more information, contact Danita Boyce, W.G.C., at (617) 896-4880 or Learn more and download Sampling Day graphics, Tweets and other resources at:

Future Returns: Investing to Minimize Water Risks

A boat makes its way along the Atchafalaya River in the Atchafalaya Basin, Charenton, La., the largest wetland and swamp in the United States. The river basin is under threat from sedimentation, as well as logging and gas drilling, says the nonprofit Atchafalaya Basinkeeper. Getty Images
Text size

As investors become more concerned about the impact the companies they own are having on the world’s water resources, they are designing ways to track and limit their exposure to water risks.

Often this involves knowing whether a company does business in a water-stressed region, such as areas of North Africa or the Middle East where the water can literally run dry. Or it can mean learning more about a company’s practices to ensure their operations aren’t degrading water supplies.

Institutional investors, as well as individual investors—on their own, or through investment advisors—“are increasingly seeing material impact to a particular holding, or they can see the risk and they are concerned about it,” says Monika Freyman, director, investment engagement, water at Ceres, a nonprofit investor group focused on sustainability issues.

ACTIAM, a Dutch investment manager with €54.6 billion (US$60.1 billion) in assets under management—and with a focus on responsible investing—is pushing the envelope on this work by aiming to have a “water-neutral” portfolio by 2030. To get there, they are working with the companies they own to ensure they are using water sustainably—so that it can be replenished naturally—and that they are not polluting or otherwise harming water resources in the course of doing business.

“This means promoting strong, regionally appropriate water management strategies by its portfolio companies, and transparent reporting of relevant water metrics,” according to a Ceres case study.

While ACTIAM has made the “biggest and boldest” public statement on the importance of assessing water risk, Ceres is working with many other institutional investors on what is known as investment water footprinting analysis, that is, a way of determining whether a portfolio holds individual stocks that present water risks, or a number of stocks in industries that tend to be problematic.

Wide Exposure to Water Risks

One “quick and dirty” analysis Ceres conducted looked at where water was a relevant investment factor across different industries, and then determined the exposure major investment benchmarks had to these sectors, Freyman says.

Industries such as oil-and-gas, semiconductors, and chemicals can have “water intensive operations and are likely to affect the quality and quantity of local water resources,” Ceres said in this analysis. Industries such as electric utilities, metals and mining, and beverage also tend to use high volumes of water, although company disclosure on this factor, particularly for smaller companies, isn’t always adequate, Ceres found.

The nonprofit then analyzed the water-risk exposure to these industries within the S&P 500, MSCI Emerging Markets, MSCI World, and the Russell 3000.

“Over half the holdings (across all four benchmarks) were in medium-to-high material water-risk industries,” Freyman says. “It's a big chunk of change.”

That means a lot of investors are broadly exposed to industries with high-water depencies or risks, Freyman says. Investors “are increasingly seeing it’s not a small subset of companies, it's potentially a large subset of companies.”

Freyman spoke to Penta about how investors can do their own water risk assessments. One way to start is with an Investor Water Toolkit the nonprofit developed with 40 institutional investors.

Filling the Information Gap

Institutional investors have more resources at their disposal, including, often, the ability to speak directly with corporate executives. But the toolkit, which is free and publicly available, is one resource available to individuals, as is Feeding Ourselves Thirsty, a report Ceres does every other year on water risks and company performance within the food and agricultural sector. The report ranks 42 companies within four sectors on how well they manage water resources within their businesses.

Investors can also consult CDP’s water security project, which compiles corporate disclosure of water risks and offers rankings of companies on the quality of their disclosure. The international nonprofit is driving companies, especially those in high-water risk sectors, “to be transparent about how they are managing water, and reporting to investors,” Freyman says.

Currently it’s a challenge for investors to know whether or not companies are masking their true water impact, but institutional investors, including asset managers, are increasingly asking probing questions of management. That’s not only for altruistic reasons, but because companies that don’t manage their water risks appropriately can run into trouble.

“It’s not just about a slow rising of the price of water, it's about massive mining companies—their operations being halted—or a power utility has to stop operating because they don't have the right water supply anymore,” Freyman says. “There are often big, operational or top-line risks that occur from water.”

What ACTIAM is Doing

As a guideline, it’s helpful to understand what the Dutch asset manager has undertaken to limit its water risks. It started by calculating the “water footprint” of its various investment funds—a measure, currently, of water use in high-risk areas by all of its portfolio companies. According to a Ceres case study, calculating the water footprint involves, among other details, assessing how much water is consumed by business activities in areas where there is a high level of water stress.

ACTIAM can tell investors, for instance, that the water footprint in its equity emerging markets index fund is 14,800 cubic meters. This is a rounded “absolute extraction of water from water scarce areas by companies in the fund, allocated to the weight of the investment that we hold,” says Maxime Molenaar, the firm’s responsible investment officer.

The asset manager incorporates its water analysis into its overall approach to achieving broader sustainability goals. “Ultimately we want to see the companies that we invest in change so that there’s effect in the real economy, not just in our portfolios,” Molenaar says.

• District remembers 1993 Bellefonte grad Lt. Jonas Panik

    By Brit Milazzo
    Public relations, BASD

    Bellefonte Area School District colors are red and white. It also supports blue – Navy blue, to be specific – to honor and remember a 1993 Bellefonte Area graduate who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. That’s why a bench, painted blue, was erected outside the Bellefonte Area High School building in memory of Navy Lt. Jonas Panik, of Mingoville.

    Several memorials in his name can also be found around schools within the district. The Lt. Jonas Martin Panik USNR Scholarship Award was also created by his parents and given to a Bellefonte student who plans to pursue a military career as an officer by attending a military academy or an ROTC program at college.

    According to the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, Panik, who graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1997, was “an outstanding intelligence professional, a true shipmate, a great friend, and a devoted and loving uncle, brother, son and husband.” He’s still remembered as an outstanding student, athlete and citizen.

    American Airlines Flight 77 was the third plane to have crashed into a target on Sept. 11, 2001 – that time, 9:37 a.m., the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense. As part of terroristic aircraft hijackings by Al-Qaeda, five hijackers also crashed American Airlines Flight 11 at 8:46 a.m. into the north tower of the World Trade Center, followed by another five hijackers who crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the south tower. The Pentagon attack came next, 34 minutes later. A fourth flight, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed at 10:03 a.m. in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, about 100 miles southwest of Bellefonte – after passengers fought four hijackers believed to have wanted to target the Capitol Building or White House.

• Arterial Disorders

    __00.png Call 1-800-BASSETT (800-227-7388)

    Arteries are major "highways" that carry blood through the body from the heart. When these major blood vessels become narrowed or blocked which makes it difficult for blood to pass through them, causing serious health associated complications. Fortunately, most artery problems can be treated by a vascular surgeon both surgically and medically.

    Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

    Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a balloon like bulge in the abdominal aorta, a major blood vessel the carries blood from the heart to other vessels in the body.

    Carotid Artery Problems

    Carotid arteries are in your neck that carry blood to the brain. Narrowing of the vessels and plaque deposits can build up in these arteries, constricting the arteries, affecting efficient blood flow to the brain, which can lead to health problems, including a stroke.

    Peripheral Arterial Disease

    Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic condition in which diseased arteries interrupt blood flow to body tissues and organs. This condition can effect lower extremities, such as the legs.

    Angioplasty is a procedure where a tiny balloon is placed via catheter to open blocked arteries

    Stenting in a procedure where a tiny wire, mesh, tube is inserted into an artery to hold it open

    Carotid Endarterectomy

    Carotis endarterectomy is a procdure to remove plaque via a small incision in the carotid artery (in your neck)

    Carotid Artery Stenting

    Carotid Artery Stenting is a procedure where a mesh tube (stent) is inserted via catheter that is inserted through a major artery in the groin, through the femoral artery.

    Endovascular Repair

    Endovascular repair is the placement of an artificial graft inside a damaged artery

Well that was another fantastic event this year with 75 riders taking part in the gruelling 170km ride.

The weather started out alright in the morning as we headed off from the Casino. Luckily group 5 that headed off first made it to Beauty Point lunch stop before the rain hit and enjoyed standing undercover as the remaining groups rolled in very wet. A big thanks to Synectic Group for providing the lunch to keep us all fed for the last 80 odd km back to the Casino.

The second half of the ride was very scenic along the Tamar River once the Sidmouth climb was over with and before we headed up the Bridgenorth hill (This is where I think my name was spoken in not so glowing terms) and back to the Casino for the finish and a well earnt refreshment or two.

For those that stayed for the dinner and Auction that night they got to enjoy another great evening. Our special guests Sarah and Jen from Holman Clinic provided our table with some good laughs and Sarah gave us all a great insight the fantastic role they provide to the community and also where our funding would be utilised.

Home heating tips

We have compiled some tips to help you save energy and reduce your home heating bills.

  •  Make sure your boiler is a high efficiency, condensing model. If your boiler has a pilot light or is more than 10 years old, it is probably only around 70% efficient - that means for every Euro you spend, you are only getting 70 cents of heating out! New boilers are over 90% efficient, so you will save money on your gas bill straight away! You may be eligible for a grant to help with the cost of replacing your boiler
  • If you don't have one, get a room thermostat fitted, so you can control the temperature of your rooms. Thermostatic radiator valves and central heating timers will also help you save money by not having the heating on when you aren't home or heating rooms you aren't using
  • Turn down your central heating room thermostat by just 1°C - you could save 10% off your heating bill, and you probably won't even notice the difference! You could even try turning it down a bit more, and finding the best temperature for you. Many people simply set the thermostat too high and never change it.
  • Set the timer for your boiler so you can control when the heating goes on and off - you'll have heating and hot water when you need it, and won't be paying for it when you don't.
  • If you have a hot water cylinder, the thermostat should be set no higher than 60 degrees. And make sure the cylinder and pipes around it are well lagged so the precious heat doesn't escape!

Gendered words ban: US city's code replaces ‘manpower’ with ‘human effort’

A gender neutral sign outside a toilet in the US (file photo) Image copyright Getty Images
Image caption Berkeley voted to removed words such as "man power" and "manhole" from its city codes

A city council in California has voted in favour of replacing gendered language with neutral terms in its municipal code.

Changes to Berkeley City Council's code were passed unanimously in a vote on Tuesday.

The code will drop masculine words such as "manhole" and "manpower" in favour of non-gendered terms like "maintenance hole" and "human effort".

The third-person plural pronoun "they" will be used instead of "he" and "she".

In the US, a municipal code is a collection of ordinances, or laws, passed by a local governing body.

City councillor Rigel Robinson, who spearheaded the proposal, told the BBC that the masculine terms in the code were "inaccurate and not reflective of our reality".

"Women and non-binary individuals are just as entitled to accurate representation. Our laws are for everyone, and our municipal code should reflect that."

Mr Robinson, 23, is the youngest council member in the city's history.

He said the ordinance, which was adopted on its first reading, is important because "there's power in language".

"This is a small move, but it matters," he said, noting the unanimous vote "was not controversial".

Updating the city's municipal code will cost $600 (£480), officials told the San Francisco Chronicle. More than two dozen words will be switched as part of the overhaul.

Berkeley is the latest governmental authority to alter official terminology in recognition of non-binary gender identities.

Last year, New York City Council voted to include a third gender category, "X," on birth certificates, following the example of the states of Oregon, California, Washington and New Jersey.

German municipalities have taken similar steps to embrace gender equal terminology. Earlier this year the cities of Hanover and Hamburg made changes to their gender language usage in official texts.

Strauss: Metamorphosen

Richard Strauss conceived his late masterpiece for twenty-three solo strings as a memorial for a lost musical culture, particularly the bombing of the Munich Opera House, scene of so many of his operatic triumphs. In this workshop session Charles Hazlewood and his ensemble, Excellent Device explore the musical detail behind this very personal work, revealing in the process how strongly the shadow of Beethoven is cast over the music, particularly the Eroica Symphony.

    For the dough

    • 60ml soured cream

    1. First, make the crispy shallots. Heat the oil in a saucepan to 180C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 15 secs). Toss the shallots in a little flour and deep-fry for 1 min or until light golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper. Can be made up to two days before and kept in an airtight container.

    2. To make the filling, heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan and gently fry the shallots for 10 mins until starting to turn golden.

    3. Add the sauerkraut and cabbage, and cook for 5-10 mins until the cabbage has softened. Taste and add a little salt if under-seasoned, or sugar if stringent. Scrape into a bowl and leave to cool completely.

    4. To make the dough, mix the eggs and oil with 125ml water, then gradually add in the flour, mixing well with your hands. Knead it on a well-floured surface until the dough stops sticking to your hands. You should end up with firm, elastic dough. Wrap it in cling film and rest in the fridge for at least 30 mins, or overnight.

    5. Flour your work surface generously. Roll out the dough to a 40cm circle or until the dough is as thick as £1 coin.

    6. Using a 9cm cookie cutter, cut out discs in the dough – you should end up with about 25 discs. Do not throw away the off-cuts – we throw them in with the pierogi when boiling to minimise any waste.

    7. Have a well-floured tray ready. Put 1 tsp of the filling into the centre of each disc. In your hand, fold in half around the filling and seal to create half-moon shapes. Put them on the floured tray, making sure they don’t touch each other.

    8. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and carefully lower the pierogi in. Boil them for 2 mins or until they float to the top.

    9. Drain and serve with a knob of butter and some soured cream. Finish by sprinkling the crispy shallots on top to serve.

Outgoing President’s Speech

BCMA President’s Farewell Speech

– Charles s. Samorodin, M.D.

I would like to welcome everyone to our annual banquet.  Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to serve as your president for this past year.  It has been interesting and rewarding.  I thank Bernita and the Board for their work over the past year. I thank Lucy for her support.

This is the point at which my campaign promises are compared to the real events of my tenure.  I am sure that all of you who were present last year have forgotten what I said.  On review of my speech, I found that intentionally or unintentionally I made few promises.  What had been my interest is one that is shared by many of us and that is how to encourage membership and participation by more physicians in the Association. One idea that I discussed last year was to consider new membership models to attract medical practices. The components with MedChi created a way for these practices to become members at discounted rates on a trial basis. We have been a benefactor of this membership model and added enough practices to allow the BCMA to add another delegate.

I also said we needed to stay engaged in Annapolis so the trial bar would not decide how we practice medicine. In particular, I mentioned Senate Bill 30, the expert witness bill which was at that time still moving its way through both legislative chambers. We know how that ended. The trial bar legislation was defeated in the eleventh hour on the final day of session. It was a rare and historic event for sure. Dozens of physicians made phone calls and emails helping our effort to keep that bill from passing.

This session legislative leaders asked us and the trial lawyers to come to mutually agreeable changes on the expert witness regulations. We were able to agree upon changes before the end of session this past Monday. The amount of time an expert can spend testify was increased to 25%.  We added that the determination is made from the time of filing the claim, not the occurrence. We have wanted this change for many years. This was good news as we often view the trial bar as being satanic and which makes debate and conversation impossible.

I asked our members to donate to the Baltimore County Physicians Political Action Committee. Like magic, we had a record amount of donations to our PAC, almost $5000 compared to $1250 the prior year. It could have been the power of intentional thinking. But I am not going to take credit for that increase in donations. It was probably not my ability to manipulate reality. More than likely it was the culmination of the excitement and concern around Senate Bill 30 creating urgency among our members.  Of course, things do not always turn out the way that one anticipates.

It is our Association’s policy to fight or not support any mandate from the legislature. However, the state did pass a mandate last year requiring physicians to have two opioid credits for CDS re-licensing. Considering the magnitude of the opioid crisis, we chose to accept this one-time requirement rather than fight. There was a silver-lining though. We partnered with GBMC and were able to educate close to two-hundred physicians, many of them non-members and inviting them to join. Our Association has worked with the state to provide these credits when no one else would. This is one example of a larger theme of why physicians need medical associations. We will always be there for our colleagues and patients. I know you do not want me to review every single item I discussed last year and neither do I want to.

Change in the world of medical practice continues to accelerate with the rise of the practice acquisition by hospitals and private equity. The physician who will become our new president in a few minutes maintains his solo private practice and is being surrounded by those who have thrown their hats in with mergers.  But this may be an opportunity rather than a threat to organized medicine as at least one major health care organization whose physicians are salaried continue their membership – I hope that large medical organizations realize that that their interests are tied to those of their physicians and patients and that organized medicine is a path to significant representation of these interests.

The year has been immensely valuable, interesting and fun for me and I hope that it has been of benefit to the Association.  I wish the best to Francisco – I know him to be a reasoned and thoughtful person and look forward to working with him.

Immersion Program

Bellarmine's immersion program reflects the important principle that “Jesuit education is world affirming1.

Our program embraces the Ignatian cornerstones of faith and justice as inspired by the Gospel call to love and serve our neighbor, especially the poor and marginalized.  Our goal—to form men and women for others who will dedicate their lives to living according to this pattern of service as inaugurated by Jesus Christ.

Immersion into the culture and daily reality of those living in other countries, or in other areas of the U.S., offers unique learning opportunities to the members of our Bellarmine community. It is through our contact with other people, in other cultures, that we can better prepare our students, and members of our community, to be “a new kind of person in a new kind of society1”. Through the immersion experience, a world in which each individual has the opportunity to be fully human and accepts the responsibility of promoting human development in others becomes possible.

The nature of immersion is transformative; we can enter into the daily reality of “the other” in such a deeply personal way so as to be changed by the experience. In the spirit of Ignatius, the immersion experience provides greater opportunity for this lived experience to not only be internalized but formalized into action that results in a more peaceful, more just, and more loving world.

1Go Forth and Teach, The Characteristics of Jesuit Education

Immersion Trips

Our program offers several different types of immersion experiences. While every immersion provides opportunities to learn about the daily living reality of people in other cultures and to witness different ways to be in the world today, each type of immersion trip has a unique focus and main purpose.

Solidarity Immersions

The purpose of our solidarity immersion trips is for students to develop an understanding of the daily reality of the poor and the context within which their poverty is rooted. With service to and direct experience with the poor, we can act to redress the causes of their poverty. It is hoped that students are called to a long-term response based on compassion, concern, and genuine caring for those with whom we regularly visit.

Service Immersions

Service immersion trips focus on specific work and service projects to benefit the poor. These immersion experiences raise to mind questions about the many structures that perpetuate the conditions of marginalization and suffering by others, especially the poor. Through them, however, the seeds of concern and compassion are sown, giving rise to a greater understanding of our responsibility to bring about change.

Urban and Rural Plunges

Occur throughout the school year; open to juniors and seniors

Bellarmine sponsors local urban and rural "plunges" several weekends throughout the school year. These immersion experiences offer participants the opportunity to understand the impact of poverty at the local level, to interact directly with the poor affected by this poverty, and to take action in response to what they have witnessed on their journey.

  • The urban plunge provides students with the opportunity to grapple with the issues related to homelessness in San Jose and San Francisco. Students meet with a number of different agencies that serve the homeless and provide service at soup kitchens.
  • The rural plunge takes students to Salinas for several days, where they come to better understand the struggles faced by migrant farm workers by working alongside them.

Appalachia Service Immersion

Occurs in the summer; open to rising juniors and seniors

Immersion trip to Nazareth Farm, a Catholic intentional community near Salem, West Virginia. Nazareth Farm opened in 1979, and has been receiving volunteer groups ever since. As per their website, “Nazareth Farm is a Catholic community in rural West Virginia that transforms lives through a service-retreat experience. We serve alongside our neighbors to address substandard housing by providing home repair. We celebrate the richness of Appalachia and experience God by building relationships between our volunteers and the local community.”

Ignatian Solidarity Network Teach-In for Justice

Occurs in the fall; open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors

Students travel to Washington DC, gathering on the steps of Capitol Hill, with a large Ignatian Family, to express concern for issues of social justice. The trip includes meetings with other Jesuit high schools and universities, breakout sessions on issues of (in)justice, work in advocacy and an action component. Students will also tour our nation's capital and learn about how to advocate for justice at the highest level.

Kino Border Initiative

Occurs during Spring Break; open to juniors and seniors

The goal of this immersion trip is for students to better understand the reality of immigration and deportation at the US-Mexican border. Students spend time at the border town of Nogales, with the Jesuit ministry: The Kino Border Initiative. They serve and visit with deported individuals, walk in the desert and learn about the legal process that leads to deportation. The trip provides an opportunity for students to respond to Jesus' proclamation "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)

Los Angeles Service & Solidarity Immersion

Occurs during Spring Break; open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors

Students have the opportunity to spend their winter break in Los Angeles, California's complex and diverse urban center, to witness and serve the marginalized while living and engaging in communities that serve them. Staying in several locations around downtown Los Angeles, students serve the poor in a variety of ways, from serving in soup kitchens to tutoring children. Students will visit Homeboy Industries, a recognized leader in gang rehabilitation, for a special baking session and tour. They also spend four days on Skid Row in the heart of downtown, where they cook for and serve the homeless, learn about drug addiction and rehabilitation, and see first-hand the many challenges that exist and what people are doing to provide solutions. Students live and eat simply on the trip so as to appreciate and enter into the greater reality of the poor, while also embracing the cultures of the many different groups who call this area home.

Mississippi Delta Immersion

Occurs in the summer; open to rising juniors and seniors

On this trip, students travel to the Mississippi Delta, one of the poorest and most under-served regions in the United States. They learn about the Civil Rights Movement, the educational and economic disparity between the Delta and much of the rest of the US, and the history of Blues music, which developed in this region. Students engage in service work in several areas, helping with building repair specifically, and get to stay at a historical sharecropping site, as well as visit Blues clubs.

Navajo Reservation Immersion

Occurs during Winter Break; open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors

Students travel to a Navajo reservation near Tuba City, AZ, where they do service work in various settings that could include painting, boxing up lunches or cleaning yards. There is ample opportunity to learn about the culture and the current situation of people living on the reservation. Students meet young people from the local area and visit some sacred sites with a guide.

Cambodia Service & Cultural Immersion

Occurs during Winter Break; open to juniors and seniors

Participants on the Cambodia immersion will work with students and teachers at Xavier Jesuit School in rural Banteay Meanchey province in northwestern Cambodia. They will teach and tutor elementary and middle school students, as well as meet and interact with peers from nearby local villages who attend our brother Jesuit high school.

The group also visits Mayan ruins and tours the vibrant cultural center of Antigua.

Mexico Service & Cultural/Language Immersion

Occurs in the summer; open to rising juniors and seniors

Students travel to Central Mexico for an immersion rich in solidarity, language, culture and service.

They then travel to the rural countryside of Puebla for the core of the trip, spending six days living in solidarity with the boys at the IPODERAC orphanage. The group completes 60 hours of service at the boys home while living as the community lives and helping with daily chores in addition to completing a major service project. After six days of hard work and plenty of soccer, the group returns to Mexico City to further explore the city, including a visit to the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacán.

Puerto Rico Service and Cultural Immersion

South Africa Solidarity Immersion

Occurs in the summer; open to rising juniors and seniors

This trip explores the dimensions of social (in)justice in post-apartheid South Africa.

Students and faculty leaders will travel to Taiwan for a 10-day immersion in culture, language and service. The group will visit the vibrant and modern city of Taipei City, exploring its rich Chinese traditions.  The Bellarmine contingent will also spend days in service, traveling to the north central mountains to tutor elementary school students of Taiya Tribe, a minority indigenous population in Taiwan. They will also help to clean up the local community. The indigenous peoples of Taiwan face economic and social barriers, including a high unemployment rate and substandard education. We will interact with students and teachers and learn about their lives and history, as well as the challenges they face in this fast moving, industrialized and media-driven society.

Tanzania Cultural, Service & Solidarity Immersion
