This document discusses carbon markets for agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) activities. It compares different AFOLU activities in terms of their potential for permanence, accuracy of measurement, social impacts, costs, and mitigation potential. It also analyzes the performance of different carbon standards like VCS, CCB, and GS based on factors like carbon revenue structure, transaction costs, and additionality considerations. Finally, it outlines criteria for assessing the stringency of different carbon market regimes based on their scale, potential for social impacts, and type of regime.

ELEC Report - The Citizens Campaign

A_StrausGarcia

- Public contractors in New Jersey reported making $7.6 million in political contributions in 2012, a 23% drop from 2011. This is the second largest year-to-year decrease since records began being kept. - Contributions to PACs dropped 41% from 2011 to 2012, likely due to increased scrutiny of PACs tied to party officials. Some contractors also stopped giving contributions entirely to avoid risks of violating pay-to-play rules. - While contributions decreased, the total value of public contracts awarded increased 7% to $5.7 billion in 2012. However, the number of individual contracts awarded decreased 15% over the same period.

Conservation and Development

Michael Dutschke

(1) The document discusses the Global Conservation Standard (GCS), a mechanism for commercial conservation that reconciles economic and ecological interests. (2) The GCS works by annually quantifying and certifying Conservation Credit Units from protected areas, which are then sold to sponsors to generate funds for continued conservation efforts and benefits for local communities. (3) Recent developments include 13 potential GCS projects being identified in Costa Rica and funding being secured to develop the top three projects.

Cloud Capacity Planning Tooling - South Bay SRE Meetup Aug-09-2016

Coburn Watson

The document summarizes Netflix's cloud capacity planning operations. It notes that Netflix tracks over 2,400 applications running on 80 instance types deployed across 30 zones and 60 accounts in AWS. To provide transparency and actionable insights at scale, Netflix built interactive dashboards and focuses on deviations and trends. Its tool called Picsou comprehensively monitors Netflix's current cloud footprint, forecasts future capacity needs, and optimizes on-demand and reserved capacity for cost and reliability. Going forward, Picsou will provide capacity alerts, forecasts, and recommendations to optimize reserved capacity usage.

Netflix carefully plans holiday capacity to ensure availability while maintaining efficiency. A cross-functional team works with engineering teams to understand capacity needs through bottoms-up and tops-down modeling. They prepare for spikes by coordinating large service migrations to optimize "trough borrowing" and manage failover capacity. The goal is to fulfill their charter of ensuring efficient, available cloud capacity so engineering can prioritize innovation and availability.

Coburn Watson

This document discusses optimizing Linux AMIs for performance at Netflix. It begins by providing background on Netflix and explaining why tuning the AMI is important given Netflix runs tens of thousands of instances globally with varying workloads. It then outlines some of the key tools and techniques used to bake performance optimizations into the base AMI, including kernel tuning to improve efficiency and identify ideal instance types. Specific examples of CFS scheduler, page cache, block layer, memory allocation, and network stack tuning are also covered. The document concludes by discussing future tuning plans and an appendix on profiling tools like perf and SystemTap.

Byron Calhoun - 40 years of Alice

tjfjustice

This document summarizes several myths about 40 years of legal abortion in the United States. It argues that [1] the view of abortion as a neutral issue is a myth, as science is not value-free. It also argues that [2] distinguishing between facts and values is a false dichotomy, as truth can be found in both realms. Additionally, [3] the myth that there are no "bad" abortions is dispelled by evidence that abortion increases risks of various health issues for women. Overall, the document claims that the risks of abortion have been suppressed to the detriment of women's health.

Michael New Promises Unkept

tjfjustice

This document discusses how legal abortion over the past 40 years has failed to achieve the goals predicted by proponents. It summarizes that abortion did not lower rates of out-of-wedlock births, child abuse, or crime as was promised. For each issue, the document outlines the original arguments claiming abortion would help and then presents data demonstrating abortion did not have the intended effect or sometimes made the problems worse. The conclusion is that there is no evidence abortion has benefitted society overall.

Dr. Martha Shuping - Women's Mental Health After Abortion

tjfjustice

This document discusses women's mental health after abortion based on evidence from medical literature. It summarizes findings from "A Clinician's Guide to Medical and Surgical Abortion" that some women experience negative mental health reactions after abortion like depression, guilt, shame, regret, and grief. It also discusses risk factors for poor mental health outcomes, such as prior mental illness, ambivalence about the decision, or feeling pressured. While opinions differ on how common these issues are, researchers agree that certain subgroups of women, like those with the above risk factors, are more vulnerable.

Angela Lanfranchi - Abortion as a Cause of Breast Cancer

tjfjustice

The document discusses several studies that found associations between induced abortion and increased breast cancer risk, including one study that found a 40% increased risk and another that analyzed over 800 breast cancer cases and found consistent results with other studies. It also discusses the biological plausibility of the link, noting that abortion leaves the breast with more places for cancers to start due to interrupted lobular development during pregnancy.

Kevin Burke - Healing the Trauma of Abortion

tjfjustice

This document discusses the role of men in abortion decisions and the potential for men to experience emotional trauma from abortion. It notes that in 95% of cases, the baby's father plays a central role in the abortion decision. It then discusses how rock star Steven Tyler had a traumatic experience with abortion and still thinks about the child that might have been born.

tjfjustice

The document discusses the impact of abortion on the African American community. It summarizes that abortion has disproportionately affected the African American population, with black women being 3 times more likely to have an abortion than white women. The document argues that planned parenthood has targeted minority neighborhoods by locating many of its abortion facilities near black and Hispanic communities. It states that the 39 million African Americans alive today could be 54 million without legal abortion, and that abortion promotes violence and oppression against communities of color.
