NSW live music report shows battles over noise are a symptom of culture versus overpopulation Analysis Posted Sat at 7:00pmSat 17 Nov 2018, 7:00pm One night in the early 1990s, in a pub in Tamworth, things got a bit loud. A man living near the West Tamworth Leagues Club, which has been putting on live music in Australia's country music capital for more than 50 years, thought the racket was a bit much and called in the authorities. The NSW Licensing Court took up the charge, with a magistrate eventually forcing the club install a monitor that automatically cut power to the stage if the band pushed above a certain decibel level. The device has been there ever since, even as the venue, which has hosted acts such as INXS and Jimmy Barnes over the years, has spent a significant amount of money on sound-proofing. The club's CEO, Rod Laing, said if they wanted to get rid of it, they would need a court order and the consent of the original complainant. That would be hard, as we learned at a recent hearing in Tamworth as part of a parliamentary inquiry.
About Us | coegss CoeGSS will work with an integrative toolbox for global systems analysis. The integration will be centred on recent methodological advances in the construction and use of synthetic populations. A synthetic population provides a model of a given population, typically of humans, but if the need arises also of plants, animals, cars, buildings and more. The synthetic population is based on individuals that are different from the actual ones, but in such a way that the population as a whole matches the empirical one in the distribution of attributes and relations that matter for the problem at hand. CoeGSS will provide generators for such populations at a global, but also at smaller scales. CoeGSS will use a portfolio of methods to take advantage of high-performance computing and big data.

The Shore Line There has never been a better time to rethink our relationship to our shorelines. We are seeing one of the greatest migrations of all times towards coastal cities at precisely the moment we should consider retreat. 70% of the world’s coastlines are vulnerable to sea level rise. The surge of coastal tourism, the increased dumping of industrial waste, and development projects in wetlands are threatening the very ecosystems that protect us from flooding. The Shore Line profiles the efforts of educators, artists, architects, scientists, city planners, and youth organizations from nine countries who are confronting coastal challenges with persistence and imagination. Find inspiration in The Shore Line videos about people from nine countries who are addressing environmental, economic and social problems. There are three ways to navigate our Shore Line storybook: Chapters, Atlas, or Database. Writer, Producer and Director Liz Miller Story and Creative Development Interactive Design Jaelle D. Norway

For Mumbai's slum-dwellers, climate change is slicing away the haves from the have-nots Updated about 6 hours agoSat 21 Mar 2020, 9:50pm In the dry season, Usha's tin roof traps the heat inside her shack until she feels like she is baking. There is no ventilation and until recently, she didn't even have a fan. When it rains, her house fills with water that drags black mould down her walls and seeps under her door, bringing with it the festering sludge of outside Mumbai. Before she had a bed, she would lie in the sludge until morning. There are millions of people like Usha in cities all around the world living without proper infrastructure, housing or employment opportunities. As the world heats up and the weather becomes ever more extreme, the challenges they already face are intensifying. Without the resources to empower themselves, most of them have little choice but to stay where they are and brace for what is to come. Haves and have nots According to fiction novelist Suyash Shreekant, even his upper-class community experienced water shortages. Adversity is escalating
Cornell University Civic Ecology Lab | Linking stewardship and resilience Elecciones Cataluña: Sigo exigiendo la revolución civil. Blogs de Desde San Quirico "Es conocido que los directivos están habitualmente bajo presión, por la abundancia y dificultad del trabajo y, sobre todo, por la responsabilidad que pesa sobre ellos". Leo una entrevista con el Gran Canciller de la Universidad de Navarra. Y se me va la cabeza a los últimos fallecimientos de personas con responsabilidades públicas, a las que se les exige mucho, se les critica mucho, se les controla mucho... y un día, se acabaron las críticas, los controles y la imprescindibilidad. En ese momento, con frecuencia, llega la hora de las alabanzas. Abundancia de trabajo. Se me vuelve a ir la cabeza. Veo a los políticos catalanes como enloquecidos. Diría que estos chicos trabajan mucho durante la campaña electoral. Trabajar bien no es algo asépticamente técnico. La política no es eso. Me gustaría que estos señores pensasen en la responsabilidad que tienen para con la sociedad.
