 Hey, what's up?

Don't be mean. Remember to vote. Value and defend freedom of speech and of religion. Find hope in the Lord. These are several of the words of wisdom Elder Dallin H. Oaks, member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shared at Tuesday's BYU Devotional in the Marriott Center.
Elder Oaks emphasized the distress he feels when institutions, political or other, infringe upon free speech, free association and the free exercise of religion. While giving a few examples within higher education, Elder Oaks argued there are many other examples within the media, arts, business and politics. Within higher education, he cited examples of universities labeling opposition arguments as hate speech, establishing institutionalized 'free speech zones' on campus while the rest of campus is a 'restricted speech zone' and advocating the right not to be offended in the public square and on campuses.
"Free speech has always been highly valued in education, but open inquiry and communication are currently being replaced on too many campuses by a culture of intellectual conformity and the silencing or intimidation of opposition," he said. "This culture even includes formal or informal punishment of those with political views not currently in favor."
He pointed to BYU as an example of a university that should remain free to pursue its mission and define the freedoms necessary to achieve that mission. Combining the two brings great responsibility and some limitations.
"Those special responsibilities include some limits on academic freedom," he said. "Limitations are common to all universities... but BYU’s limitations are express and well publicized... In that context, BYU students commit to a Code of Honor that prohibits speech that is dishonest, illegal, profane, or unduly disrespectful of others. The limitations on faculty expression apply to expression that 'seriously and adversely affects the University or the Church.'"
These limitations put very few restrictions on individual freedom of expression, perhaps even fewer than at other universities, Elder Oaks said.
"In many ways academic freedom at BYU exceeds that at many colleges and universities that pretend to have unqualified academic freedom," he said.
Elder Oaks suggested to students, many who may be first time voters, to be part of the political process by understanding the issues and the candidates, in both national and local elections.
"We have the responsibility to become informed about the issues and candidates and to independently exercise our right to vote," he said. "Voters, remember, this applies to candidates for the many important local and state offices, as well as the contested presidential election."
Elder Oaks discussed how the current elections, especially at the presidential level, have brought about contention and meanness. He suggested that we should refrain from such negativity.
"We should also remember not to be part of the current meanness. We should communicate about our differences with a minimum of offense," said Elder Oaks. "If the Church or its doctrines are attacked in blogs and other social media, contentious responses are not helpful. They disappoint our friends and provoke our adversaries.... [In] public discourse, we should follow the gospel teachings to love our neighbor and avoid contention. We should be examples of civility. We should love all people, be good listeners, and show concern for their sincere beliefs."
Regardless of what challenges we face by putting trust in the Lord, His message of hope will bring peace, Elder Oaks promised.
"With faith and hope and with God’s help, we will prevail against our challenges," he said. "As Elder Kim B. Clark told your teachers and leaders a few weeks ago, BYU and its values are under attack. We are all being asked to do hard things, for which we need 'greater faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,' who 'will open doors that are closed. He will inspire and guide and provide. He is in charge.'"
If you missed Elder Oaks' remarks, the Devotional can be streamed on BYUtv.org and will be archived on speeches.byu.edu.
The next BYU Forum address will be given by Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary, on Tuesday, September 20, at 11:05 a.m., in the Marriott Center.
This Forum will be held in the Marriott Center and broadcast on-campus only. A question-and-answer session in the Marriott Center with Fleischer will immediately follow the Forum.
President and Sister Worthen welcomed students back to campus for the Fall semester at the Devotional Tuesday in the Marriott Center. Sister Worthen shared several life-lessons about leadership. President Worthen followed, encouraging students to be influenced by the positive experiences they can have while at BYU.
“We need to educate more deeply and more powerfully than we have ever done before or than anyone has ever done,” said Elder Kim B. Clark, commissioner of the Church Educational System, to faculty and staff at BYU.
Every Tuesday at 11:05 a.m., students, faculty and staff head to the Marriott Center for the weekly Devotional or Forum address. Speakers consist of BYU professors, LDS Church leaders and a range of influential figures.

 Describe the events leading up to a phone call between Donald Trump and Senator Chuck Grassley.

Donald Trump called a senior Republican senator from Iowa on Wednesday whose congressional committee is investigating his son, Donald Trump Jr, and promised him critical federal support for the biofuel ethanol, a key issue for the lawmaker.
Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee and a major advocate of the ethanol industry, announced on Twitter that he had received a phone call from Trump and had been assured by the US president that Trump was “pro ethanol” and was “standing by his campaign promise” to support the biofuel.
The phone call came less than a day after CNN reported that Trump’s eldest son had reached an agreement with the committee to appear in a private session and answer investigators’ questions. The committee, which has oversight of the Department of Justice, is investigating a 2016 meeting that occurred in Trump Tower before November’s election. During the meeting, Trump Jr and other campaign staff met with Russian operatives after being promised compromising information about the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton.
The interview with investigators could take place in the next few weeks, according to CNN.
The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on what prompted the president to call Grassley and promise him support for ethanol – a vital issue for Grassley’s home state – or whether the two discussed Grassley’s oversight of the committee’s Russia probe.
In a second tweet, Grassley said that the US president “knows that ethanol is good good good”.
The Iowa senator did not divulge any additional details about Trump’s promise or whether it represented a shift in White House energy policy. Trump, like many US politicians in the throes of presidential campaigns, was a vocal advocate of the ethanol industry while he was campaigning in Iowa, a top corn-producing state.
Terry Branstad, a former governor of Iowa, is Trump’s new ambassador to China.
Trump reaffirmed his support for ethanol producers in a speech in June in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, saying he would save “your ethanol industries … just like I promised to do in my campaign”.
It is not clear, however, how Trump will make good on his promise to Grassley. Bloomberg reported in June that US ethanol producers were concerned that oil industry lobbyists who oppose important biofuel mandates could hold sway over Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency, one of the regulatory bodies that sets important standards on the use of biofuel.

President of the Center for the National Interest, a Washington thinktank, which hosted an April 2016 foreign policy speech by Trump. Trump, Sessions and Kushner appear to have met with Kislyak at the event, although both Kushner and Sessions have said any meeting was only in passing and they don’t recall what was discussed. Read further.
Grassley has emerged as an important potential ally for the US president given his position on the judiciary committee, one of several congressional committees that is investigating allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
Last week, investigators on the committee interviewed Glenn Simpson, a former journalist and head of Fusion GPS, a private investigative firm in Washington that produced a controversial dossier detailing alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives.
The dossier was written by Christopher Steele, a former British spy, and is believed to be a significant area of interest in the special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of alleged Russian interference in the US election last year.
Grassley said in a town hall meeting in Iowa last week that he would consider sharing a transcript of investigators’ closed-door questioning of Simpson, which lasted for ten hours.
Grassley was asked about it at a town hall meeting and said he would put the matter to a committee vote.
“I presume that [the transcript] will be released,” Grassley said, according to an account in the Washington Examiner.
The timing of the president’s call is most noteworthy because it came just as the committee’s forthcoming interview of Trump Jr was publicly confirmed. A specific date has not yet been released, but investigators are expected to question the president’s son about the nature of a 2016 meeting, which Trump Jr attended after being promised he would obtain compromising information about the Clinton campaign.
The meeting was attended by Paul Manafort, Trump’s then campaign manager, Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, and Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian American lobbyist and former Soviet military officer.
The president’s son has said he was only promised compromising information about Clinton, but that he never received it. Instead, Trump Jr insisted that Veselnitskaya wanted to discuss changes to the 2012 Magnitsky Act, a law passed by Barack Obama that infuriated Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, and was designed to punish Russia for the 2009 prison death of the Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.
The 2016 meeting continues to be a critical area of focus of congressional investigators.

 Explain how Facebook's implementation of sharia enforcement could lead to its downfall.

Longtime Geller Report readers are long aware of the oppressive sharia enforcement at Facebook. Incredibly, Facebook sent one of its chief officers to the terror state of Pakistan to assure the Pakistani government that Facebook would adhere to the sharia. The commitment was given by Vice President of Facebook Joel Kaplan, who called on Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. “Facebook has reiterated its commitment to keep the platform safe and promote values that are in congruence with its community standards.” Which community? Certainly not a free society.
These issues have started taking a toll on Facebook’s business, with the company saying in July that growth in digital advertising sales and in the number of its users had slowed down. I predict this will continue. Facebook’s mission was sharing. Facebook’s success was a result of that idea — sharing photos, lives, stories, opinions with family, friends and others. Facebook turning its back on its very founding and punishing people for their conscience, their ideas will eventually destroy Facebook — of this I am sure. Ask Jeeves was once the go-to search engine on the net. Where are they now?

 Describe a live performance given by Steve Vai and Beverly McClellan. Respond in detail.

You may know Beverly McClellan from NBC’s “The Voice”. Now on the road with Steve Vai, she is causing a big stir with her stellar vocals on some very challenging songs. Using her voice to compliment her guitar talent and piano skill, Beverly energized the crowd with Steve Vai’s electric harp player Deborah Henson-Conant, and McClellan’s very own guitar tech.
Beverly McClellan was a great opener for Steve Vai. Usually openers don’t get a lot of attention from fans, but I think Beverly broke through that barrier, really getting fans into her performance and at times getting them to sing along for a bit. The instrument change ups also kept fans interested, as there was always something new going on, and for a newer artist, keeping fans eyes on you is crucial. Beverly had no issues with that thanks to her charisma and talent.
Of course, Steve Vai isn’t anywhere near short on charisma nor talent either. For an instrumental guitarist, he draws quite the crowd. With 80% of the crowd probably being guitarists themselves, there was a lot of technical guitar talk and music being talked about before the show.
Once Steve took the stage though, it was all-quiet except for frantic cheering and clapping.
Vai has a large crowd to please these days. He’s got fans from back in the 80’s and newer, younger fans. Some know his early music and some know his modern music such as this year’s late summer release The Story of Light.
Through the years not only has his music changed, but so has the technicality of what he plays. All of his music is extremely intricate and difficult for any average guitarist to play, but it has evolved into more than just guitar playing. Newer albums feature lavish bands and some exotic instruments that compliment and at times rival Vai’s own guitar playing. And with all those albums and endless instrumentals comes A LOT of material for Steve to draw from.
“We’re gonna play for like 5, 6 hours!” Steve’s words were welcomed by loud cheers. “Yeah, you say that now, but you’re gonna be asking when’s he gonna be done?!” Fans loved when Vai started dancing around on stage too. He and his stylish pants were a sight to see.
“Alright I’m an instrumental guitarist, what am I doing dancing?!” “Last tour I had two violin players, and this time I really had to think of how to throw you guys off; so I found an electric harp player!” Vai’s occasional commentary and warm-hearted talks were welcomed by the crowd. If Steve wanted to play, the crowd let him play, if Steve wanted to talk, the crowd let him talk. They were like little kids when Steve was jamming on stage.
The relationship Steve Vai has with his guitars is like nothing else. He has almost become one with his instrument and can play nearly anything his heart desires, and he does it flawlessly. He’s also a great entertainer, taunting fans and dancing around. Steve can most often be seen with his white Ibanez or if you’re lucky, his mirrored faced guitar with illuminated inlays.
There was not a disappointing second throughout Steve Vai’s set. Everyone was happy and feeling good as they left The Pabst. Hopefully Steve Vai will be back very soon!

 Respond in detail. "Do you have any tips on editing Raw photos?"

Most professional design projects I'm involved with have a budget for photography. But every now and then I'll have a small project where I need to take my own pictures. When this happens, I like to shoot in Raw as it gives me a lot of flexibility.
In this quick tutorial, I'll walk you through some basic settings I change when editing in Adobe Camera Raw. I took the photo below with a Fujifilm X100s. But if you don't have a camera, many new phones like the iPhone 6S can shoot in Raw.
When a Raw file first comes out of the camera, it looks ugly because it's unprocessed. Years ago when I made my first attempt at shooting in Raw, I was dissuaded by these ugly images. I thought "What the hell, I thought this format was supposed to make my photos look good!" What I didn't understand at the time was that they could look better, but I had to adjust all of the settings manually to achieve it.
Now we come to the Split Toning tab. It's easy to get carried away with this setting. It reminds me of when I first started in design — I wanted to use all the effects I could muster to make to try impress viewers. Filters on filters on filters. Oy!
Our final step is to add a little grain to make it feel like it was shot on film. This is just a personal preference — to me it makes it feel more authentic.
That's it! If you're at a desktop computer, Click here and scroll down to get a better sense of the progression.
Here's the Raw file if you want to try it yourself. My best advice is to mess around with the settings a lot. It may seem like I changed each setting here once and went on the next one, but in reality I was constantly cycling through all of these settings until I found what I liked.

 "What do you think about when you think about collecting records?"

While cleaning my office/studio/listening room, I found a cache of unopened and hence, unplayed records. It gave me pause for a second, perusing through the stack, thinking that I was not only feeling nostalgic on this particular day of record shopping, but pretty lucky as well. A little bit of old school hip hop, some classic jazz and some major heaviness from the 60s. I even found a few vintage MoFi’s lurking in the pile. Where were they when I was thinking of listening to them?
I realize that we all find our joy in a different place. Some enjoy being completist collectors, some enjoy searching rarities, while others just dig hanging out in a record store and smelling the vinyl.
But I suggest that for a day or two (maybe even longer) you step back and enjoy the collection you’ve already acquired. I’ll bet that you too have some hidden treasure!

 Write a comprehensive analysis on how current global emissions trends, the Paris Agreement and the Declaration for Ambition will impact the next UNFCCC COP24, and what changes need to be made to ensure global progress towards reducing emissions. Respond in 580 words.

After three years of substantial stability, the latest IEA “Global Energy & CO2 Status Report” showed a quite shocking, but also expected, 1.4% increase in the CO2 global emissions in 2017 compared to 2016.
Some good news came from the US, where a strong uptake of renewables had been able to offset the increase in the total primary energy consumptions, so that emissions dropped by 0.5%. But an opposite trend was registered in many other regions or counties, notably in the EU, where emissions grew by 1.5%, basically due to a declining growth rate in renewables deployment and increase natural gas demand. Emission also (not surprisingly) increased in most Asian countries: in particular the Chinese economy grew 7% in the last year, while emissions increases of just 1.7%, thanks to renewables and the coal-to-gas switching continuing process. This is a quite impressive result for the Asian giant, showing that a greener growth and reducing coal use is technically and economically possible also for such a big and eager for growth country.
What probably stands out most from these data is that an absolute decoupling of economic growth from global emissions is still very far from being the new normal: the final target to be achieved to drastically reduce global emissions, tackle climate change and fulfil the Paris Agreement. And it will also probably require a rethink of the growth concepts, and which are the parameters to consider (is GDP and outdated concept? what about and how to measure sustainable development?) and objectives that should be pursued.
How are this facts and numbers going to impact the next UNFCCC COP24? How are the countries dealing with and reacting to them?
Recently 23 countries have jointly declared their intention to step up their climate ambition, also calling for other countries to do the same. In this “Declaration for Ambition” the signatories focused on the need for all the Paris Agreement countries to enhance their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by 2020 in order to succeed in limiting global warming to 1.5 Celsius degrees. Day after day this target seems to become more and more difficult to achieve, although still doable. But to score this goal all countries in the next few years will have to walk the talk setting long-term low emission development strategies and pathways consistent with the Paris Agreement to reach net zero emissions.
The EU long political process to review the 2030 targets to set more ambitious goals is still ongoing, and if Europe really wants to assume a leading role at global level in tackling climate change, rasing the bar is probably a necessary step to show a real commitment and light the way. Just a couple of weeks ago the EU Parliament and Conuncil have agreed a 32% EU-wide binding target for renewables by 2030, 5 percentage points higher than the original 27% agreed in 2014, but the crucial ussue remains setting a higher GHG emissions reduction.
Is this the moment to aim higher? And if this is not the right moment when is it going to be? In many markets it seems that the economics and the society are ready for a stronger uptake of green solutions, behaviours and technologies. Is the main reason for not acting now “just” political?
In the next months, and especially in the context of the COP24, the world will need to see more tangible efforts from all countries if we really want to reduce the global emissions and fight climate change.

 Provide a 500-word essay summarizing the top five moments of the 2017 Red Sox season.

As we know, the 2017 Red Sox season was filled with highs and lows. Fans had anticipations of beating the Yankees by 20 games in the division standings at times, while other times thought they would fall short of their storied rivals.
Thankfully, the Red Sox won their second consecutive AL East title.
The trade deadline brought us Eduardo Nunez, Rajai Davis, and Addison Reed, while we saw Manager John receive his walking papers.
As the year 2017 draws to a close, let’s highlight the top five moments from this past Red Sox season.
Third base was a perennial revolving door thanks to Pablo Sandoval, and other potential fillers.
Upon his arrival, Devers was nothing short of amazing. He captivated the Red Sox season and provided a much needed spark to a power-barren lineup.
The young superstar wasted no time in making an immediate impression in Boston by driving a ball over the center field wall at SafeCo field in his 7th career plate appearance.
What can be said of this catch? If Austin Jackson didn’t somersault into the Red Sox bullpen, this would have been the catch of the year.
The Red Sox were locked in a pitcher’s duel with the Yankees and Jackie Bradley Jr. erased a potential homerun from Aaron Judge to help preserve a Sox win.
Chris Sale dominated through the large majority of the Red Sox season. If it weren’t for a slow end to the season, he may have a Cy Young Award to his name.
Regardless, the Sox ace achieved over 300 strikeouts, becoming only the second Red Sox pitcher to complete this milestone in the history of the organization.
Any time you can be tied to Pedro Martinez‘ numbers, you’re doing something right.
Chris Sale was excellent this season and this accomplishment was good enough to end up as my number three moment.
If you remember, this game was incredible for a number of reasons.
The matchup was supposed to be a pitcher’s duel between Carlos Carrasco and Chris Sale, yet both pitchers gave up their share of runs. In addition, Andrew Miller coughed up a lead.
The Red Sox had an improbable come back in the 9th inning, including a strikeout by Mitch Moreland, in which he reached on due to a passed ball.
The victory propelled the Red Sox over the Yankees in the AL East standings and proved to be a turning point in the season.
This was another classic Red Sox / Yankees battle. The Yankees had regained a late lead in this game and surely had the game locked up behind their dominant closer.
Devers, again, proved to be a staple of the Red Sox season and silenced the Bronx with one swing.
The homerun was unbelievable and Red Sox fans everywhere, including myself, jump off the couch in celebration.
This was another series that helped determine the AL East winner and Rafael Devers put the Sox on his back.
Each honorable mention was special too, but not enough to break the top five. Brian Johnson tossed the only shutout of the season, while Sale Day enabled every Sox fan to tune in and watch Sale deliver consistent brilliance.
Who could forget Big Papi’s ceremony? Chills.
Finally, Devers inside-the-park homerun easily could have been number one if the Red Sox found a way to win the series against the World Champion, Houston Astros.
Last season was full of great moments and 2018 figures to bring another exciting year of Red Sox baseball.

 Describe the hotel workers' strike at the Westin Book Cadillac in Detroit.

Workers at the Marriott-operated Westin Book Cadillac who walk-off their jobs on Sunday are demanding fair wages and better insurance plans.
Braving cold rain, 160 of the Westin Book Cadillac's workers represented by UNITE HERE Local 24, walked off their jobs Sunday morning and began pounding the slick pavement outside the doors of the grand Marriott-operated hotel with picket signs around 5 a.m.
"Detroit is a union town!"
Doormen, cooks, servers, stewards, housekeepers, and more chanted outside the hotel asking that wage and insurance plan changes happen so that one full-time job is enough for them to provide for their families.
Yolanda Murray, 43, a lead steward whose been at the hotel for eight years said she's protesting because she's a single mother with two kids, and she can't afford to live in the city of Detroit.
In addition to her commute, Murray said she worries about paying for her home, and the health insurance plan provided to workers doesn't work for families.
"My health insurance is $50 a week that comes out of my check, so I can't even afford to put both my kids on the health insurance."
Murray said the workers will keep up a 24-hour picket line, and plan to continue "tomorrow, and the next day."
"The economic proposal that they gave us was really a joke, so that's why me and my fellow co-workers is out here right now making a difference and making a change," she said.
According to a news release from the union, the workers' contracts expired on June 30, but they were unsatisfied with Marriott's offer.
"Marriott's most recent economic offer would take half a decade to bring Westin Book workers up to the current pay standards of other Detroit hotel workers," the release said.
Local 24 President Nia Winston said workers have been in negotiations with the hotel for months, demanding fair wages and contract changes.
It's especially troubling that the Westin Book Cadillac workers make about $2 less on average than workers at Marriott hotel in the Renaissance Center about six blocks away, Winston said.
Contracts for workers employed by the Marriott at the Renaissance Center are reportedly not up and they didn't participate in the strike on Sunday.
"What's happened since this particular hotel has been open in 2008, it opened in a recession, so when it opened the workers didn't receive any wage increases for two years and then very little since then," Winston said.
According to the Detroit Historical Society, the hotel was built in 1924, but shuttered in 1984 because of a rough economic climate. The hotel underwent a restoration that cost almost $200 million and officially-reopened in 2008.
The Westin Book Cadillac has since become the "most profitable hotel" in Detroit, but most of its workers need two or three jobs to survive, Winston said.
"One job simply should be enough, but it's not," she said. "Unfortunately, through this process, it feels like it's fallen on deaf ears to the employer."
Winston said many of the hotel worker's can't afford to live in the city, must pay for parking, and don't make enough money to put their children in their healthcare.
"And there were concerns about as technology comes and it replaces workers," she said. "We want to have an opportunity to be a partner with the employer, to sit down and talk about that. We know that we cannot stop technology from happening, but what we can figure out is how it impacts our workers and how we (can) work jointly together."
Winston said some of the workers protesting have stayed with the hotel since 2008 and played a key role in the hotel's growth.
"The city was not doing well, the occupancy level here was very low. They stood by their side. They continued to give 100 percent guest service, which is the reason why the guests come back day after day, month after month, year after year, and it's a shame that 10 years later, when they've done extremely well and paid off all the debtors that they can't pay back the workers," she said.
Marriott officially took over the Westin Book Cadillac after it completed the acquisition of previous owner Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. in 2016.
The hotel has since cultivated a reputation around the city for catering to elite clientele and hosting lavish weddings.
In fact, three different weddings were scheduled at the hotel today, Rachel Gumpert, the national spokeswoman for UNITE HERE.
Weddings are among events that are "nearly impossible" to orchestrate without the efforts of the hotel's workers, she added.
Nonetheless, despite attempts at negotiations with workers at other Marriott-operated hotels around the country, Gumpert said, the corporation has been "unwilling to move on economics and job security."
"We are going to be out here until we win," Gumpert said.
Sunday's demonstration in Detroit marked a national campaign conducted by more than 5,000 workers that have gone on strike now in six cities, all calling on Marriott to act.
In addition to Detroit, Gumpert said, hotel workers strikes have began in Boston, as well as the California cities of San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland.
However, Gumpert said today marks the first Michigan hotel worker strike in 30 years.

 Describe the activities of the U.S. Tiger University Consortium and their efforts to save wild tigers.

Representatives from Clemson University and Auburn University traveled to India to observe tigers in the wild.
CLEMSON, South Carolina — Clemson University and Auburn University have joined forces to throw the weight of multiple academic disciplines behind efforts to save wild tiger populations worldwide.
The two universities, along with Louisiana State University and the University of Missouri, are leading the efforts of the newly formed U.S. Tiger University Consortium, so named for the mascots the institutions share.
Brett Wright, dean of the Clemson University College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences, the dwindling tiger populations are an issue demanding the attention of land-grant institutions such as those belonging to the consortium. For Wright, the issue should also be central to the many who cheer on their preferred teams on game days.
The consortium was initiated by Clemson University President James P. Clements, who also serves on the Global Tiger Initiative Council. This international council made up of business and conservation leaders was formed to assist the Global Tiger Forum save the remaining populations of wild tigers with a goal of doubling tiger numbers in the wild by 2022.
Representatives of the U.S. Tiger University Consortium and Global Tiger Forum (left to right): Mohnish Kapoor, administrator for the Global Tiger Forum; Timothy R. Boosinger, Auburn University provost; Brett Wright, dean of Clemson’s College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences; Keshav Varma, founding director of the Global Tiger Initiative and COO of the Global Tiger Initiative Council; Robert H. Jones, Clemson University provost; Rob Baldwin, Margaret Lloyd Chair, Clemson University department of forestry and environmental conservation.
Thanks to the council’s efforts, tiger numbers in 2016 were on the rise for the first time in 100 years, but the work to restore their numbers fully is just getting started. Janaki Alavalapati, dean of the Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, said that with more than one university approaching the problem, the odds of success only increase.
Wright said the consortium will focus on several avenues to achieve its goal, including research that supports evidence-based decision-making by conservation professionals. Participating universities also have planned strategic communications to raise awareness of the worldwide problem with their many stakeholders.
As far as concrete action that can take place in countries where tiger populations are most affected, Wright and Alavalapati hope to create the next generation of conservation leaders through university-supported academic scholarships and assistantships. Participating universities will equip these leaders with means to make direct change where it is needed across the globe. There will also be an emphasis on the application of technology that will allow monitoring and data analysis related to wild tiger populations.
The Global Tiger Forum estimates there are only about 3,900 tigers remaining in the wild. According to Keshav Varma, chief operating office of the Global Tiger Initiative Council, the reasons for dwindling populations are varied. Major issues include deterioration of the tigers’ natural habitats and poaching, which affects the 13 countries in which tiger populations remain.
Representatives from the U.S. Tiger University Consortium, including Clemson University Provost Robert H. Jones (back left on elephant), traveled by elephant to reach remote wildlife areas in India.
Two-thirds of the world’s tigers live in India, where numbers have increased during the past five years thanks to anti-poaching patrols and sustainable tourism initiatives. However, with other countries such as China, Vietnam and Laos reporting numbers in the single digits, the need for direct intervention is more dire than ever.
Members of the U.S. Tiger University Consortium and the Global Tiger Initiative Council will convene for a meeting in Clemson on Sept. 8 and 9 to discuss progress and next steps.

 Describe the cyclocross race you attended.

This was Cyclocross Handbook’s home race, just 15 minutes down the road from CXHHQ and it was a banger. Thanks to all the organisers for a great course, and if you organised the weather, thanks for that too. It’s been a weird season for weather, every race has been drier than expected. Even Bradford and Otterspool, which can usually be depended on for ankle deep carnage, were relatively benign this year. So it’s definitely nice to get some slippery conditions. There was some great racing too and I really enjoyed my day behind the camera. Cyclocross Handbook is building now towards the Worlds in a couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Head over to the Cyclocross Handbook Facebook page and give it a like to stay up to date with everything going on.
...Second, a great course. Up and down over mixed surfaces and a BMX track. Also, there were some bits where it wasn't green grass, which is refreshing to photograph.
The Vet 50 battle rages on.
Beth Crumpton was away, so World Champs selected Hannah Payton was clear to take off in the lead.
As it started to dry, the mud started to stick.
After Phillip Roach fell on the final lap, Kirby Bennett was clear to take the win.
Hannah Payton took the Women's race.
Marcus Holmes led the Youth race from flag to flag.
Toby Barnes was in great nick.
Tom Payton leads the chasing pack.
By mid race, Toby Barnes was going well clear.
Ewan Grivell-Mellor sat back, riding wisely and marking any attacks.
The run ups were turning to a proper slippery mess.
A great ride from Toby Barnes.
Riders of the WMCCL. There was only one thing which let me down today. BMX jumps are for super radical tail whip jumping action.
But it was slippy so I guess I'll let you off.
Having sat back for several laps, Ewan Grivell-Mellor had the strength in the latter stagesto take second.

 Describe the benefits of using Rowbot to fertilize corn fields.

No part of our highly technological economy today is free of being rethought by applying automation in the form of robots. In the past I have written about the use of field robots in agriculture. But these were largely university projects still in the laboratory. But now a new company in Minnesota is turning laboratory experiments into a commercial agricultural robot aimed at corn farmers. The company has created Rowbot, designed as a automated fertilizing machine for now but with plenty more applications to come.
Rowbot, the company, sees its mission as one of bringing robotic solutions to the most pressing problems in agriculture. In this case Rowbot solves a number of challenges for corn growers. Today corn covers 159 million hectares (almost 400 million acres) globally. In 2010 American farmers produced 316 million metric tons of the crop at an average of 9.6 metric tons per hectare (more than 23.6 tons per acre). These numbers are quite impressive when compared to average production elsewhere on the planet.
Small enough to easily travel between planted rows of corn, Rowbot reduces the amount of fertilizer farmers use by dispensing it at the right time in the right amounts. The timing for corn is critical because once corn plants get too tall to run a tractor through the field farmers may miss applying fertilizer when it can be most beneficial. But with Rowbot the plants are undisturbed because of its small form factor. And because it provides the nitrogen directly in what is referred to as “side dressing” it eliminates potential overfeeding and nitrogen runoff which leads to polluting of local ponds, rivers and lakes.
Watch a demo of Rowbot in action. It uses both GPS and LIDAR to navigate with great precision and little in the way of operator intervention. It handles two corn rows at a time without collateral damage to growing plants. It collects data during operation which the farmer can then analyze to determine how to improve crop yields. Applying fertilizer using a tractor-attached applicator is less exact and often leads to crop damage to the top of the corn plants which reduces yield.
Rowbot’s first practical test this summer involved fertilizing 20.2 hectares (50 acres) of corn at a cost of under $25.00 per hectare ($10 per acre) not including fertilizer. The smaller footprint of Rowbot means arable fields can be exploited to the maximum especially when you consider that future iterations of Rowbot will be multifunctional including doing chores like cover seeding. Cover Seeding refers to seeding of fields with a cover crop after harvest to restore field fertility and stabilize soil before winter.

 What happened to Mt. Gox?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is reportedly going to charge Mark Karpeles, the former CEO of the fallen Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, with fraudulent system manipulation.
Karpeles is a suspect of fraudulently manipulating the cryptocurrency system and inflating the Bitcoin balance in bogus accounts that belonged to Mt. Gox. The information was revealed on Thursday (30th) by an official agent connected to the investigation, the site Nikkei.com reveals.
The Tokyo-based digital currency exchange was once the biggest and most important trading platform in the Bitcoin ecosystem, holding a 70% market share within the cryptocurrency market. Mt. Gox ruled the market for a long period until it collapsed in 2014 amidst rumours of foul play.
But fraudulent system manipulation might not be the only reason to arrest the French entrepreneur, as the authorities are also looking to charge Karpeles with corporate embezzlement.
After the exchange’s downfall, Karpeles always maintained that the most likely reason for the collapse of the exchange was a series of external cyber attacks that led to the disappearance of the digital coins. But the new findings show it is very likely that a portion of the BTC considered to be missing was actually fake.
In February of 2014, following the exchange’s downfall, the company applied for civil rehabilitation at the Tokyo District Court, which decided to kick-off bankruptcy proceedings a few months later, in April. Up to this day, hundreds of Bitcoiners are still waiting to recover the BTC they lost when Mt. Gox went down.

 Describe the inaccuracies in President Trump's statements regarding clean coal and the war on coal including the Pennsylvania coal mine project.

Trump appears to believe that clean coal — which, it must always be pointed out, doesn’t actually exist — is when workers mine coal and then physically “clean it.” That does not happen, but facts have never stopped Trump.
There are many misstatements or outright lies in those brief lines. First and foremost, “clean coal” is a fantasy. You can’t “clean it.” In terms of carbon pollution, coal is the dirtiest of fossil fuels, so you couldn’t clean coal unless you could remove or capture all the carbon and bury it.
Second, there never was a “war on coal.” Indeed, as we reported last month, a leaked draft of the Department of Energy’s electric grid study concluded that factors like environmental regulations and renewable energy subsidies “played minor roles” in the shutdown of big coal plants.
Instead, coal has simply become uneconomic. “[Coal] plants that have retired are old and inefficient units that were not recovering their operations and fuel costs, much less capital cost recovery,” the draft report says.
Finally, Trump’s “second, brand-new coal mine” in Pennsylvania is actually a renovation and reopening project for a metallurgical coal mine. The increase in the metallurgical coal market is largely being driven by China’s steel industry, not by any policies from Trump, as the Washington Post fact checker explained in June. The mine project will create, at most, dozens of jobs.
The Post gave Trump three Pinocchio’s for lying about the first coal plant back in June. These new statements deserves a lot more.

 What does the new Data Pack for Android: Netrunner offer for players?

You work hard every day, and you deserve the best. Why limit yourself to the genetic limitations with which you were born? Get more out of life with Jinteki's genetic engineering. Better genes for better lives.
Upgrade yourself. Upgrade your deck. The Valley, the first Data Pack in the SanSan Cycle for Android: Netrunner, is now available at your local retailer and online through our webstore!
With its sixty cards (three copies each of twenty different cards), The Valley opens our tour of the megacity SanSan and its many different districts with a stop in Biotech Valley. More commonly referred to as just "The Valley," Biotech Valley is home to Jinteki's J-Plex research facility, as well as many of the world's other leading bioengineering firms. With their advanced genomic research, these corporations are unlocking the secrets of human potential and, often quite literally, changing the face of tomorrow.
Unsurprisingly, Jinteki and its work feature prominently in The Valley. You'll find a new Jinteki identity, Jinteki Biotech (The Valley, 12), the game's first "flip" identity. You'll also find a new Jinteki agenda, Genetics Resequencing (The Valley, 13); a deadly Jinteki sentry, Cortex Lock (The Valley, 14); and a Jinteki region upgrade, Valley Grid (The Valley, 15), that punishes Runners for breaking through the ice they couldn't afford to ignore in the first place.
However, Jinteki's work doesn't stop at its doors. Jinteki is one of the world's largest corporations, and its work has massive socioeconomic impact. In fact, some of the Corp's best work may even come back to haunt it. The Valley makes much of Jinteki's work available to the very individuals its ice are meant to stop. In The Valley, each Runner faction gains its own genetics resource, and all gain access to the neutral genetics resource, Symmetrical Visage (The Valley, 9).
Like Symmetrical Visage and Adjusted Chronotype (The Valley, 3), each of these genetics resources is unique and offers a potent benefit, but it's one that only triggers once per turn. Unless, that is, you have a Gene Conditioning Shoppe (The Valley, 6) in your rig. The likely lynchpin of an all-genetics deck build, Gene Conditionning Shoppe allows you to trigger each genetics resource up to two times a turn.
What are some of the options available to the genetically enhanced Runner?
You could lose a click at the beginning of your turn to draw two cards with Wyldside (Core Set, 16), and another to Starlight Crusade Funding (True Colors, 69) to ignore the extra click-cost of all your double events, and then you could gain them right back.
The first two times that you suffer damage, you could draw a card back with Synthetic Blood (The Valley, 7).
You can transform your Symmetrical Visage into a miniature Professional Contacts (Creation and Control, 49), drawing two cards and gaining two credits each turn, for the bargain price of just two clicks.
You could do all of the above – as well as use Enhanced Vision (The Valley, 5) – to reveal cards from the Corp's HQ, and you'd still have enough influence remaining for Gene Conditioning Shoppe. You'd even be able to include three copies of the Shoppe and each of the genetics resources in a fifteen-influence deck, provided that deck was built with a Criminal or Shaper ID.
Of course, just as every Data Pack introduces new tools to each of the game's seven factions, there's more to The Valley than Jinteki and its genetics. There's also plenty of opportunity for other Corps that hope to work with its competitors in the Valley. You'll find Capital Investors (The Valley, 18) and Negotiators (The Valley, 19) looking to strike up partnerships with these bioengineering companies, and it seems there's always a new Tech Startup (The Valley, 20) in the works.
Business is booming in the Valley. Its corporations stand at the forefront of the world's research into practical bioengineering, and that means that they stand at the bleeding-edge of any conversation about the future of humanity. How will you engage with those conversations? How will you benefit from the latest genetics research? Head to your local retailer today, and pick up your copy of The Valley!

 Explain the significance of Donald Trump's nomination of Tom Price as Head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

The reason there’s so much interest in who Donald Trump will choose for various positions in his administration is a simple principle: personnel is policy. We want to know what the Trump/Pence administration will do once it’s in power, so we keep an eye on his cabinet and White House selections to get a sense of the next White House’s substantive agenda.
And when it comes to health care, the president-elect apparently intends to go in a very dangerous direction.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will nominate Georgia Rep. Tom Price to head the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Cabinet-level pick, which requires Senate confirmation, inserts one of Obamacare’s most outspoken critics into the key position to dismantle it and help Republicans implement their own blueprint for health care reform.
It was the same year Price considered running against John Boehner for the House Speaker’s gavel – because he considered the Ohio Republican insufficiently right-wing.
But Price, an orthopedic surgeon by trade, is primarily focused on health care – which for the American mainstream, isn’t good news. The Republican lawmakers has spent several years crusading to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and now Donald Trump is positioning Price to do exactly that.
Note, it was just a few years ago that many House Republicans endorsed the ACA provision that requires insurers to accept all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions. “It’s a terrible idea,” Price said at the time.
As the Huffington Post’s Jonathan Cohn explained, Price did release his own ACA alternative – which was never endorsed or embraced by his party’s leaders – which seems especially relevant now.
The “Empowering Patients First Act,” as it is known, would gut Obamacare’s regulation of insurance plans, reduce the total financial assistance going to people buying private coverage and rescind entirely the law’s expansion of Medicaid for the poorest Americans.
Insurers could resume some of the practices that Obamacare now prohibits – like selling bare-bones plans and, in some cases, denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. Price’s proposal would offer people tax credits, but there’d be no guarantee the credits could actually pay for comprehensive coverage.
The result, according to one analysis, would be less government spending and regulation – as well as lower taxes on the rich. Many younger and healthier people would get access to cheaper insurance, particularly if they were comfortable with plans that had minimal coverage or gaps in benefits.
But a scheme like Price’s would also mean fewer people covered and, almost certainly, less financial protection for people with the worst medical conditions.
What’s more, note that Price recently said he expects Republicans to move forward with a proposal to privatize Medicare out of existence as early as next summer.
The fact that Trump chose this guy to lead the Department of Health and Human Services speaks volumes about the anti-healthcare agenda that the next administration will pursue.
Postscript: I’ve seen some reports refer to Price as a policy “wonk,” especially on health care. I’d recommend caution on this front. A few years ago, the Georgia congressman mistakenly went after the ACA based on a Congressional Budget Office report he read but didn’t understand.

 Have you heard about Fosselman's Ice Cream Co. in Alhambra?

For the first time in likely 40 years, Fosselman’s Ice Cream Co. in Alhambra is set to close for four days next week for construction.
The popular ice cream shop is set to close Monday through Thursday to update its look in preparation for the shop’s 100th year in 2019, said co-owner John Fosselman.
Fosselman said the style will be “less Formica, less granite and more wood” to give the shop a more 1940s vibe, given that the shop moved to its Main Street location in 1941.
Fosselman’s began with grandfather Christian Fosselman in Waverly, Iowa nearly a century ago. The family eventually moved to Los Angeles, with a wholesale business in Pasadena and storefronts and production facilities in Pasadena, South Pasadena, Highland Park and Glendale in addition to Alhambra.
The Alhambra location, however, is the last shop standing. John Fosselman and his brother, Chris Fosselman, have run the shop for 30 years and co-owned it for 20, and it has never undergone a face lift in that time, John Fosselman said.
While some locals may not immediately support a change in look for the iconic shop, John Fosselman said he hopes people will approve of the look being updated from its current 1970s design.
Regardless whether all the construction is done, the ice cream shop will reopen at its usual 10 a.m. time Friday, Sept. 28.
John Fosselman said the 100th year celebration will begin Jan. 1 and involve specials throughout the year that will be announced through the shop’s social media pages.

 "What is your preferred workflow when creating a website layout in Photoshop?"

I use a 980px container and use the grid provided by 960.gs inside that container when designing in Photoshop. Nice post. Thank you.
Same here, 960.gs for the world.
CSS Blueprint does it for me.

 Describe the cost of implementing a smart contract, including the use of Smart Oracles and Free Public Oracles.

The largest cost of implementing a smart contract is connecting it to the data sources and traditional payment methods it'll need to become useful today. Smart Oracles provide the first easy to use, secure and highly auditable solution to connect the world's existing data and financial infrastructure with leading smart contract networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin.
The largest upfront cost of implementing a smart contract is connecting cryptographically secured smart contract networks to traditional data and financial infrastructure that isn't cryptographically secured, but where most global commerce currently takes place. Approximately 70%+ of development time in blockchain proof-of-concepts currently goes towards connecting existing data sources, internal IT systems and traditional bank payments with cryptographically secured smart contract networks.
Smart Oracles greatly simplify creating this critical connectivity between leading smart contract networks (Bitcoin and Ethereum) and the existing infrastructure which smart contracts will need to receive commands from, make ongoing updates to and rely on to send traditional bank payments.
The Smart Oracles platform currently supports the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains, with Ethereum smart contracts for Insurance and Derivatives already successfully releasing Bitcoin based on their assessment of external data feeds.
As part of our commitment to supporting smart contract developers we have also released a series of Free Public Oracles that provide common data feeds to any Ethereum smart contract. Our public oracles greatly reduce the development time of smart contracts that utilize their specific data feeds and provide an initial demonstration of the types of smart oracle which can be created in less than 15 minutes on SmartContract.com. More Free Public Oracles are planned and we are excited to hear requests or suggestions as we continue to collaborate closely with multiple high quality data providers.
Below are three of our initial Free Public Oracles, available for immediate use.
SmartContract.com has been a leader in blockchain-based application development since 2014 and was selected by the World Economic Forum as "The Shift in Action" for blockchain technology in late 2015 (please see attached). Based in San Francisco and funded by top-tier venture capital firm Data Collective, SmartContract.com's team is committed to accelerating the use of smart contracts as a key building block for the trustless commerce revolution currently underway.
We believe that smart contracts which can interact with the external world are an essential building block for the trustless commerce revolution which is on track to provide the security, trust and transparency needed for our global financial system to function as it was meant to.
