Senator Beth Bye testifies before the Planning & Development Committee in support of Senate Bill 422 which seeks to prioritize residential consumer water sales during public drinking water supply emergencies, prohibit companies that sell bottled water from receiving water rates less than residential customers, and ensure that sellers who export bottled water out of Connecticut do not pay lower sewer rates than residential customers. THe proposed bill, which Senator Bye is sponsoring, came about when citizens from Bloomfield, West Hartford, Windsor and other Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) towns expressed concern about a deal between the town of Bloomfield and the Niagara Bottling Company that would allow up to 1.8 million gallons per day to be withdrawn from the Farmington River watershed, a water source controlled by the MDC that provides drinking water to 12 towns.

Today, the Right To The City Alliance marched with the larger Climate Justice Alliance. The frontlines of the climate crisis are low-income people, communities of color and indigenous communities. We understand that the climate crisis will affect everyone, but will have harsher consequences for low income people and communities of color. As housing organizers and people who care deeply about housing justice we see how climate change has and will exacerbate the conditions of gentrification and displacement. The wealth of neighborhoods often influences the way that recovery efforts for major climate crisis incidents gets prioritized. We hope to change this trend. We are the hardest hit by both climate disruption––the storms, floods and droughts––as well as by the extractive, polluting and wasteful industries causing global warming. We are also at the forefront of innovative community-led solutions that ensure a just transition off fossil fuels, and that support an economy good for both people and the planet. We know that we must rush recovery funds from floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters to displaced groups and low-income families who need it most.
Right to the City emerged in 2007 as a unified response to gentrification and a call to halt the displacement of low-income people, people of color, marginalized LGBTQ communities, and youths of color from their historic urban neighborhoods. We are a national alliance of racial, economic and environmental justice organizations. Through shared principles and a common frame and theory of change, RTTC is building a national movement for racial justice, urban justice, human rights, and democracy
The Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) is a collaborative of over 35 community-based and movement support organizations uniting frontline communities to forge a scalable, and socio-economically just transition away from unsustainable energy towards local living economies to address the root causes of climate change.

FORT IRWIN, Calif. – A Soldier prepares and prioritizes "'patients" for evacuation to the next level of care during day two of Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) testing at the National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin. Qualification for the badge is considered a grueling experience by those who have earned the badge and the majority of participants do not make it to the final round.
The EFMB is awarded to military personnel who complete a variety of physical, mental and written tests that determine their ability to quickly, accurately and effectively perform complex life-saving medical tasks while in a variety of hostile environments and situations. The EFMB is considered the medical equivalent of the Expert Infantryman's Badge, but is said to be harder to earn than the EIB.
The Weed Army Community Hospital hosts and facilitates as well as oversees the qualification of events for Soldiers seeking to earn the badge at training areas within the NTC.
The 122 Soldiers vying for the coveted badge come from posts near and far across the United States.

I've come to the conclusion that flickr is simply not a place I need to be spending my time right now.
Flickr for me has always been about getting noticed, and having people know who I am. All I wanted was the most comments, the most views, the most explores, etc, etc, etc.
Truth is-my life needs to be prioritized. I have not been posting because I have felt that my photos aren't "good enough" for the flickr world, and people "won't like them". But I need to realize that my photos are not about the amounts of people that enjoy looking at them. But it is about my clients. And when I am shooting for fun, I need to do it for myself. Not for the critique of other people whom I don't even know.
So...my time here on flickr is finished. There are many others ways and links to get ahold of me-such as facebook, tumblr, my personal blog, my photo blog, my formspring, and even my e-mail if you are wanting to ask for it-that are all linked on my profile page.
Good-bye flickr world, it has been a nice run. But I need to pursue other things through my photos.
Don't worry, I won't ever stop taking photos. And maybe someday I'll be back. But for now. peace out.

Today, National Nurses United (NNU), along with a broader coalition of pro-Medicare for All organizations rallied outside of the national headquarters of PhRMA in support of Medicare for All. Hundreds of nurses, patients and supporters organized outside of the company’s front doors with chants and stories of how PhRMA’s focus on profits has caused hardships for many people.
“We have seen patients rationing their insulin to stay alive and families who can’t afford the medications their children need for treating leukemia. Families have to choose between facing homelessness or caring for their children,” said NNU Executive Director Bonnie Castillo, RN. “Drug companies know this, and still choose to prioritize profits over people. This is why we need Medicare for All, to protect patients from the abuses of Big Pharma.”
The rally culminated with a powerful action where nurses used Band-Aids to paste large print outs of various GoFundMe pages that people had set up to crowdsource medications and medical procedures
“Every day, we nurses see the painful toll our current for-profit health insurance system is taking on our patients. Expenses are so crippling that even people ‘with insurance’ have to set up GoFundMe campaigns in order to afford life-saving procedures – this is unacceptable,” said NNU President Zenei Cortez, RN. “The only groups opposed to Medicare for All are the ones profiting off of the status quo – insurance companies, Big Pharma, and the lobbyists who carry out their agenda.”
Nurses have led the grassroots movement for Medicare for All for decades, and have launched an unprecedented, national grassroots movement in support of this legislation, which includes thousands of canvasses and phone banks in every state across the country. H.R. 1384 will be taken up for a hearing in the House Rules Committee tomorrow – the first full committee hearing on Medicare for All -- and NNU will be on Capitol Hill to advocate in support of the bill and to mark this historic first step towards health care justice.

The Government of Azerbaijan and United Nations launched the formulation of the joint strategic partnership framework for the next five years.
The Ministry of Economy and Industry hosted the launch of the joint consultation process, which brought together senior government officials, development partners, representatives from the private sector and civil society to identify the broad priority areas for the cooperation between the UN system and the Government. The prospective collaboration framework will be aligned with the national priorities that are articulated in ‘Azerbaijan: Vision 2020’ development concept, which builds on the country’s latest socio-economic achievements and provides a framework for its transition from a traditional economy to a knowledge-based, competitive and diversified economy.
The new strategy will support the agreed international goals and Post-2015 Development Agenda, a new framework for sustainable development, reaffirming the mutual commitment of the Government of Azerbaijan and United Nations to further deepen partnership and continue working in a concerted and effective manner. It will constitute a robust mechanism to foster coherence, relevance, effectiveness and efficiency within the UN system, and will give a significant attention to achieving results, with a focus on strengthening national Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) capacity and deepening the integration of M&E into national development planning process.
On behalf of the Government of Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Economy and Industry will further co-lead the process of the preparation of the next partnership strategy until the end of August together with the United Nations and in consultation with all government and international partners. The strategic directions and expected results of the next partnership framework will be validated tentatively by end-September and endorsed by the Government by December 2014.

To meet current and future infrastructure challenges, Thailand needs to develop policy and prioritize between several important investments. Private sector participation in infrastructure financing and service delivery becomes increasingly important at a time of limited public resources. Some overhaul of state-owned enterprises will be needed, so will be clear regulatory guideline at national and local levels. Meeting some of these challenges will enable Thailand to sustain high economic growth, which has helped lift millions of its citizens out of poverty over the last three decades.

This is the American Coot (Fulica americana) and they disperse themselves by flying and migration depending on the season. Their global range is pretty much the majority of North America from Canada to Mexico and the Carribeans. They reproduce by both male and female trying to attract the opposite sex and will go through processes like getting recognized and testing. After they find a mate they make a floating nest within plants and have sex to lay their eggs in there. They create 1-2 brood and each clutch size is about 8-12 eggs. Adaptations they may of had is since they are foraging birds they are constantly plucking at plants while moving whether in land or water. To make sure they're eggs find a home they will lay eggs in other coots nests.
From your observations:
I think in my location they are one big population but just spread out into smaller groups a bit because everyone once in a while they all gather up together picking at plants in a massive group of like 40 sometimes. I didn't notice any birds mating but if they were to be mating male and females I assume were all just mixed in together. According to my resources the American Coot doesn't mate during winter but in the summer they do. The distribution is pretty clumped because the groups I noticed were usually at least 10 birds together. They're located where I'm researching because it's a small pond with vegetation they walk around eating and if they were to mate and lay eggs the area would be nice to do it at. I think they are a sink because they usually just walk and swim around eating but when it's mating season they're a source because they're making more chicks for the next generation. The offspring of them I don't know where they go because I didn't see any. The immigrants come from the eastern side of the United states or Canada.
From your brain and calculator:
28 Total in the area 11 female and 17 male. The females lay average 10 eggs.
5 cycles = 897
20 cycles = 649,845,188,500
I don't think it's experiencing an exponential growth because the growth rate seems to be a massive change and the american coots I counted could be off. Also that i dont know the rate of the birds to make it more accurate.
From the literature:
I think that the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory example that we talked about in class is an experiment that will work with my location. I think that it will work because they questioned things about how frequent they come back every year and if their population decreases. Their conclusions i think differed between species. It works with mine because I'm looking at the American Coot and that's a bird species and since they are birds labeling and keeping track of the birds will show if they die yearly. The ones that come back maybe just be their offspring's but also we will see if they are decreasing or increasing in population. The research has been done here in the Bay Area for i believe 40 years and ongoing by multiple researchers there.
The second research is by Bruce E. Lyon, John M. Eadle, and Linda D. Hamilton which was done in 1994 on American Coots. Their research was about how parental choice affects traits being passed down and how others of the same species would go extinct. They tested by watching who the parents prioritized when feeding and ones that were ornamented were fed more. That showed that some specific traits aren't through natural selection but can also go extinct though parental selection. This not only affects birds but also the other mammals and animals around the location I have picked like squirrels.

The Green New Deal, a nonbinding resolution introduced by Senators Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey, has sparked a lot of discussion over the last several weeks. It is an ambitious plan to confront man-made climate change while also building an American economy that prioritizes renewable energy, innovation, and job creation. As such, it would have a tremendous impact on the solar energy industry (as well as other alternatives to fossil fuels) and the business community as a whole.
As BusinessInsider notes, “this type of rhetoric is arguably ‘the first time that the US — or any major Western economy — has proposed a comprehensive 20-year plan for a green transition.’” The magnitude of what the Green New Deal proposes has raised concerns and objections from those who feel it is too ambitious. Indeed, “the plan would involve major changes to the US' infrastructure, electricity grids, and transportation systems to make them more sustainable and energy-efficient.” However, many professionals in the solar industry and larger business community acknowledge that these sweeping changes are necessary to fight climate change, and “Green New Deal supporters see the plan as a way to take on that enormous threat while stimulating the national economy at the same time.”
How the Green New Deal Impacts Business
A recent article in Harvard Business Review examines how the Green New Deal might impact businesses, and what they can do to prepare, adjust, and help in making this important effort successful. Written by two researchers who have studied the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy technologies, the piece acknowledges the costs of such a large undertaking and argues that “taking advantage of these early opportunities will not only help transform and protect vulnerable communities, it will also allow companies to secure new modes of revenue.”
The authors propose two complementary ways for businesses to lead the way during this transition and create new opportunities at the same time. First, “Companies can help reduce the burdens of the energy transition by supporting economically sustainable low-carbon initiatives,” particularly in areas that are hardest-hit economically by the move away from coal. Creating new economic opportunities through investment in these communities “can help revive stagnating local economies and insulate them from the downsides of the transition.”
In addition, “two new energy business models have evolved over the past decade that demonstrate possibilities for specifically targeting vulnerable populations.” These are subscription-based community solar projects and energy service companies (ESCOs). We’ve discussed community-based solar projects such as microgrids as a way to provide stable, efficient energy for small or large communities. Businesses that invest in these projects help pave the way for sustainable change while also serving communities that would otherwise suffer from disproportionate energy costs. “In ESCOs, firms help other companies design a plan for energy savings through energy efficiency, conservation, or by installing new renewable energy technologies on-site.” Both of these opportunities aid in the transition to a green economy and provide avenues for businesses to benefit while helping vulnerable populations.
Solar Industry Impacts
The solar industry in the U.S. is already booming, contributing technological innovation and creating a large share of new job opportunities. The Green New Deal would turbocharge the already fast-expanding solar sector. Pacific Standard reveals that “a 100 percent emissions cut” like the one proposed by the Green New Deal “might... create a net 6.8 million jobs” across renewable energy industries. Emerging opportunities in the solar industry would include education and professional development for new workers as well as the creation, manufacturing, design, installation, and maintenance of solar technologies.
The Green New Deal represents a massive shift in the priorities of the American economy, but many experts believe it can (and must) be done. As Harvard Business Review notes, “If companies making positive inroads on climate protection flourish, then the communities where those companies are working have a real chance to thrive.” The solar industry and the business community as a whole must take advantage of these opportunities to help pave the way.
At Solar Design Studio, we’re excited to be on the forefront of a changing, renewable economy. We work with business, industrial, and residential clients to build solar solutions that save money and mitigate environmental impacts. Contact us today to learn more!
