    I don't know if merit is on the restricted list or available over the counter in NJ. Sometimes it depends on the formulation so something might be available without a license.

    But you need a license to apply ANY pesicide in NJ if you are doing it for hire, or for agriculture. Technically, you need a license to spray a wasp's nest with raid.

Lesson 12

“I Am the Bread of Life”

“Lesson 12: ‘I Am the Bread of Life’” New Testament Class Member Study Guide (1997), 7–8

  • Jesus challenged the Jewish leaders to “search the scriptures” (John 5:39). What is the difference between searching the scriptures and reading them? How have you made your personal and family scripture study more meaningful? How have you been blessed as you have searched the scriptures?

  • Why did Peter’s faith falter as he walked on the water? (See Matthew 14:30.) How do we sometimes make similar errors when difficulties arise?

  • How is “bread of life” an appropriate description of the Savior and the blessings he offers us? (See John 6:35, 47–51.) How can we partake of the “bread of life”? (See John 6:47, 51–54; Matthew 26:26–28; Alma 5:33–35; D&C 20:77.)

Suggestion for Family Discussion

Read Matthew 14:22–32. Point out that Peter showed great faith when he walked on the water, but he began to sink when he became frightened. Display a picture of Jesus Christ, and assure family members that although there will sometimes be trouble around them, they can overcome fear by remembering the Savior and following him. Ask family members to tell about times when they overcame fear by remembering Jesus Christ and his teachings.

Vacation Jobs

What to Consider When Choosing a Vacation Job

by Brian Kelly

Associate Editor

Print Share

    Students around the world will spend the approaching vacation in a number of different ways, thanks to an academic calendar that was originally developed for agrarian societies.

    The big question for most young people at this point is, “What shall I do this summer?” And this leads to the next question, “What are my options?”

    Your options are about the same as those of other students. You can work, go to summer school, travel, or just plain loaf. Choosing the best vacation activity is a lot like making the other decisions you have to make in life. You are the only one who can decide what is best for you—and you will have to live with your decision, once you have made it.

    There are a number of things you should consider when choosing a summer job. Money is usually important, particularly if you need a certain amount for school in the fall. If it’s money you want, you had better look long and hard at the blue-collar (labor, skilled and semiskilled) jobs and selling opportunities. These are the most lucrative areas for young people.

    If travel is involved or you must work away from home, it might be better to stay at home and work for a lower wage than to go away for a high-paying job where you might have to spend a lot on living expenses and travel.

    Sometimes a lower-paying job near home leads to a part-time job during the school year. One student decided against a high-paying out-of-state construction job to stay home and work in a service station. His friend took the construction job, and although at the end of the summer he was financially better off than the station attendant, he couldn’t find a part-time job when he returned home for school. By the end of the year, the station attendant who had earned less per hour during the summer had made more than the construction worker had. He also learned enough about auto mechanics to take good care of his own car.

    Almost any job experience will be beneficial to you. However, certain experiences will be more valuable than others. Here again, the value of experience compared to that of money is personal and has to be determined by you. If you want to work in the medical field, it would be foolish for you to take a job at a car wash in order to make fifty cents more per hour than you could get doing general work at a hospital.

    In fact, some job experiences are so valuable that it might be worth your time to work for nothing. A young Latter-day Saint college sophomore in public relations (PR) volunteered to do publicity and general PR work for an entertainment center. At first his duties were far removed from public relations. He did errand work and was a general office boy much of the time. The next summer he was hired, this time receiving a little pay for his work. Meanwhile he was gaining experience and meeting people. When it was time for him to leave school, his first out-of-school job was helping to manage an entertainer and movie star he had worked with during the previous summer. His starting salary for his first job was higher than that of the dean of his college.

    Other students find that a vacation’s experience can help them decide whether or not they want to follow a certain vocation. A student majoring in English literature got a job writing copy for slide presentations and became exposed to the delights of photography. In comparison, English literature lost its allure, and now he puts together excellent multimedia presentations for a prestigious national design agency.

    If you plan to become a chemist but on a summer job find that you’re miserable doing chemical analyses, then this experience could be very valuable to you in terms of making a change of plans as soon as possible.

    Experience and academic qualifications both become important when you begin to apply for full-time jobs. Of people graduating from college, those who have some practical experience in their field usually land the best jobs.

    Though all of us have to do things we do not like, it is important that you ultimately enjoy your work. If you can’t stand to be indoors, maybe you had better try to find something that you would like to do outside. One high school senior loved to fish and camp, and consequently he became very knowledgeable about nature. He got in touch with two prominent naturalists and they hired him. His job? To help study the habits and life of the grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park.

    Many students will take a certain job because they feel this is the last time they might be able to have that experience. City youth might want to work on a farm, or young people from the country might want to see what the city is like. And many students take low-paying jobs overseas just for the experience of living abroad.

    Other Considerations

    It is common for youth to find that they cannot get that ideal job because of restrictions imposed by their present situation. If you are a girl who is engaged to a local fellow and are planning to be married in the fall, then a job away from home may not be very enticing.

    As a Latter-day Saint you would not want to purposely involve yourself in work that would jeopardize your ability to live gospel standards. No job or any amount of money is worth that.

    As you choose a vacation job, think beyond that vacation period—your job may become an important part of your future.

Talk of the Month:
President Joseph Fielding Smith Speaks to 14,000 Youth at Long Beach, California

Print Share

    In Tribute and Introduction:

    On July 19 President Joseph Fielding Smith will be ninety-five years old—but in typical fashion, on his birthday he will give gifts to some 150 friends and family members, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. It’s just like him—always giving happiness to others.

    At ninety-five our prophet is a great human being—honored for his integrity and his study of the scriptures, and for his lifelong devotion to God.

    Recently he attended a special Sunday devotional at the Long Beach Civic Auditorium in California that was attended by 14,000 Latter-day Saint youths from forty-six stakes.

    Following is the text of President Smith’s talk, with comments and pictures recorded on that special day. The President was accompanied to California by his wife, Sister Jessie Evans Smith.

    My dear young brothers and sisters: I am happy to be with you on this occasion, to bear my testimony to the truth and divinity of this great work in which we are all engaged, and to counsel you relative to the one thing which will do more than any other to bring peace and happiness into your lives here and now and prepare you for an inheritance of eternal glory in the world to come. I speak of the Lord’s system of marriage—celestial marriage, marriage for time and for all eternity in the house of the Lord.

    It is very apparent to all of us who read the newspapers, who listen to the news accounts on the radio, and who watch what comes over television that all too many do not hold marriage and the family unit in that respect which the Lord intends.

    Many people today do not honor or respect any form of marriage. Some are unfaithful to their marriage vows and live unclean and immoral lives; some break up their homes through divorce for petty and selfish reasons; and some do not even pretend to enter into legal marriages but simply live in immorality and have children who are conceived in sin.

    We are living in an evil and wicked world. But while we are in the world, we are not of the world. We are expected to overcome the world and to live as becometh saints. The Lord has given us his everlasting gospel to be a light and a standard to us, and this gospel includes his holy order of matrimony, which is eternal in nature. We should not and must not follow the marriage practices of the world. We have greater light than the world has, and the Lord expects more of us than he does of them.

    We know what the true order of marriage is. We know the place of the family unit in the plan of salvation. We know that we should be married in the temple, and that we must keep ourselves clean and pure so as to gain the approving seal of the Holy Spirit of Promise upon our marriage unions.

    We are spirit children of our Eternal Father, who ordained a plan of salvation whereby we might come to earth and progress and advance and become like him; that is, he provided a gospel plan which would enable us to have eternal family units of our own and to enjoy eternal life.

    Those of his spirit children who choose the right course and create for themselves eternal family units by entering his order of matrimony have the power, if they endure in faith, to gain eternal life. This should be the whole object and purpose of our existence.

    When the Lord placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, he sealed them together as husband and wife in an eternal marriage union and commanded them to multiply and replenish the earth; thus they were able to begin the process of providing mortal bodies for the spirit children of our Father in heaven.

    Now, what the Lord did for Adam and Eve, he has also offered to all those who will accept the fullness of his gospel law and live in harmony with its eternal truths. He has offered us eternal marriage. He has given us the sealing power so that we can bind on earth and have it sealed eternally in the heavens. He has given us temple marriage so that we can create eternal family units of our own. I think these blessings, which center around and grow out of the continuation of the family unit in eternity, are among the most important blessings known to man.

    The principle that the family unit can continue in eternity is one of the noblest thoughts that can enter the mind of man. The Lord has commanded us: “Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else.” Women are to have the same feelings toward their husbands, and parents should possess a love for their children, and children for their parents, which does not end with death.

    Do we not continue to remember with love and respect our parents and our children who have passed away? Does love cease because death intervenes? Love is as eternal as life, and both go on after the grave. Why would anyone who knows the Lord’s law deliberately choose to marry “until death do us part,” and thus let death end the family relationship?

    We cannot conceive of the glory and blessings which shall attend the continuation of the family unit for all the eternities that are ahead. How glorious it is to know that if we are true and faithful to the laws of this highest order of matrimony, we shall continue as husband and wife, united perfectly as one forever in celestial glory.

    I plead with you, the youth of Zion everywhere, to keep yourselves clean and pure so that you will be entitled to go to the house of the Lord and, together with the companions of your choice, enjoy all these great blessings the Lord offers to you.

    These are glorious concepts, and along with all the other things which have been restored in this day, they came from the Lord. They are true; they are everlasting. This whole system of revealed religion which we have received is true.

    I bear testimony that through the instrumentality of the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord has restored his church and kingdom on earth for the last time, and that his everlasting gospel is here. This gospel is the plan of salvation, and the crowning principle in the whole plan centers in celestial marriage.

    I pray that we may all catch the vision of these glorious truths and that we shall so live as to qualify for the highest degree of the celestial kingdom.

    In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

    Patti Stevens,
    Long Beach Third Ward

    “I’m all excited to see him! Also, I think he’ll inspire me to maybe be more like him. He’ll probably answer some of my questions about life after death, temple marriage, things like that.”

    Kathy Salmon,
    Downey First Ward

    “I think it’s fantastic. I never knew there were so many Mormons in Southern California.”

    Ron Phillips,

    Laura Gunn,
    Santa Susana Second Ward

    “As he talked and after he had finished his speech, my heart kept beating fast to testify to me that what he said was true. I kept thinking of the promises made to me in my patriarchal blessing, that the Lord would guide me to the right one.”

    Marshall Gardener,
    Yuma First Ward, stationed with the Navy at Long Beach

    “I wanted to see a man who talks with God. I fasted and prayed; so did the girl I went with. Although there was no question before I went to the meeting that he was a prophet, when I saw him—the moment I first saw him—I had an even greater realization that he is a prophet.”

    Charles Bates,
    Long Beach Ninth Ward

    “It was a fantastic testimony-building experience to see him and then sing ‘We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet.’ I was overwhelmed by the spirit.”

    Manuela Rees,
    Whittier Sixth Ward

    “Here you could feel a unity in the Church that seemed to fortify everyone’s spirits.”

    Ron Sellers,
    Morningside Park Ward

    “This is the best day of my life because I saw and heard a prophet of God. He has a beautiful sense of humor.”

    David Latta,
    Gardena First Ward

    “What impressed me most was that the prophet would take his valuable time to meet with the youth of the Church. I was impressed, too, with the youthful attitude of the prophet and his wife.”

    Gary Whomes,
    Long Beach Second Ward

    “I’m speechless. Impressed. All the synonyms. I’m compelled to think of Sister Smith; she’s very sincere about getting to the kids. She’s something more than just a human being standing there—there’s some backing from somewhere; it’s obvious.”

    Mike Killian,
    Ontario Second Ward

    “I was impressed by the personal love and devotion of President and Sister Smith. Holding hands at ninety-four is neat.”

    Hyacenth Doyle,
    Lawndale Ward

    “I enjoyed it very much—I cried all the way through it. This equaled or surpassed anything I have ever experienced.”

    Anne Sellers,
    Morningside Park Ward

    “I am interested in your church. It was very wonderful seeing so many young people, all with the same ideals, all united together to pay tribute to their leader. His message was very strong. He emphasized the importance of staying pure, which is hard when there is so much evil around.”

    Eileen McFarland,
    a nonmember from Inglewood

    “A super spiritual experience! I had never in my life seen so many kids gathered together to hear one speaker. I was thrilled to see missionaries translating for deaf persons. I was impressed just to hear the prophet speak on such a relevant topic as marriage and family.”

    “Satan has worked on me to try to convince me that Joseph Fielding Smith was not a prophet. But today I sat in the front row as he entered. Suddenly I felt within me a testimony that he is the prophet. It was a marvelous thing to have happen to me.”

    Jo Anne Hinton,
    Long Beach Second Ward, a convert of two months

    “I’m a convert of two years now. You know how they always say you tingle. Well, I did that, all the way through. The prophet and his wife seem so human. It makes me think I can reach their goals. This seemed like heaven; everyone seemed so united. For an instant we were all striving for exactly the same goal: eternal life.”

    Theresa Orozco,
    Bakersfield Fifth Ward

    President and Sister Joseph Fielding Smith

It's official. On March 27, 2017, President Trump signed the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution (H.J. Res. 37) invalidating the regulations that implemented President Obama’s Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order (EO 13673). Also known as the "contractor blacklisting” regulations, the rules were finalized towards the end of the Obama administration and would have required government contractors and subcontractors to report alleged, unproven violations of 14 federal labor and employment laws—“administrative merits determinations" such as NLRB complaints—for consideration by government contracting officers in awarding federal contracts, among other onerous requirements. At the same time as signing the CRA rescinding the implementing blacklisting regulations, President Trump revoked EO 13673.

Ogletree Governmental Affairs, Inc. (a subsidiary of Ogletree Deakins) worked closely with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in helping lead a coalition of business groups opposing the government contractor blacklisting regulations going back to the Clinton administration and continuing throughout the Obama administration following the issuance of the blacklisting EO and its implementing regulations from the Federal Acquisition Regulatory (FAR) Council and guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor.

By signing the CRA resolution, President Trump effectively put an end to the decades-long effort to use the federal procurement process to establish alternative labor law remedies that were not approved by Congress.

In a recent decision of the BC Supreme Court (the Court), the purchasers of a residential property in Victoria were awarded damages when the Court found that the seller made negligent misrepresentations in the property disclosure statement (PDS) regarding the possible migration of contaminants onto the property. In their claim, the plaintiffs alleged that the defendant was liable for damages for fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation or breach of contract. While the plaintiffs were unable to meet the test for fraudulent misrepresentation (the Court found no intent by the seller to deceive the purchasers), the Court said that a misrepresentation in a PDS can give rise to a claim for damages for negligent misrepresentation. The Court’s judgment in Ban v. Keleher (2017 BCSC 1132, 30 June 2017) confirms that a much higher standard of evidence is required in order to make out a claim of fraudulent as opposed to negligent misrepresentation, which means that what might seem to be fraudulent based on a common sense interpretation is not necessarily what will be found in court. In assessing the damages payable to the plaintiffs, the Court found that the potential presence of contamination and ongoing testing for contaminants on the property created a stigma in respect of the property and as such, the stigma negatively affected the fair market value (FMV) of the property on the date of sale in May 2013. The Court awarded damages in the amount of $95,000, which took into account a reduction in purchase price (as the plaintiffs paid more for the property than it was worth) and a discount for stigma, as well as the loss of enjoyment and use of the property.

The defendant, Mr. Keleher, sold his property to the plaintiffs, Mr. and Mrs. Ban, for $687,500 in May 2013. Subsequent to the purchase and closing, the plaintiffs discovered that their property was potentially affected by chemical contaminants, which were likely to have migrated onto the property from a nearby dry-cleaning business. The plaintiffs had not retained a lawyer to carry out the conveyance of the property, and had not ordered a search of the BC Contaminated Site Registry (the Site Registry). On the PDS however, there was a question for the vendor which stated: “Have you received any other notice or claim affecting the Premises from any person or public body?”, to which Mr. Keleher answered “No”. At no time did Mr. Keleher tell the plaintiffs that he had received two notices from an environmental consulting company in August and September 2012 indicating that there was likely or actual offsite migration of contaminants onto his property (the Notices). Further, Mr. Keleher did not disclose to the plaintiffs that (i) environmental consultants had conducted drilling and/or installed wells in the backyard of his neighbour’s property in the summer of 2012, (ii) five monitoring wells had been installed in the backyard of the property in October 2012, and (iii) new sod had been placed over the monitoring wells installed in the backyard of the property.

At trial, Mr. Keleher testified that he did not disclose the Notices on the PDS because that issue was not “at the forefront of his mind” at the time. He also testified that after signing the PDS, he later sought advice from his realtor as to whether he ought to notify the plaintiffs about the Notices or the presence of the monitoring wells. He stated to the court that his realtor advised him not to reveal this information because it would make it more difficult for him to sell his property. His realtor testified that no such conversation ever took place.

The plaintiffs alleged that the defendant was liable for damages for either fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, or breach of contract. The Court elected not to address the matter of breach of contract (as it was satisfied that the case could be justly decided based on the claim for misrepresentation), and so confined its analysis to tort law principles.

Fraudulent Representation

On the first claim, Justice Dorgan set out the test for fraudulent misrepresentation from Van Beek v. Dodd (2010 BCSC 1639), where the court held that the five requisite components are:

  1. the defendant made a representation of fact to the plaintiff(s);
  2. the representation was false in fact;
  3. the defendant knew that the representation was false when it was made, or made the false representation recklessly, not knowing if it was true or false;
  4. the defendant intended for the plaintiffs to act on the representation; and
  5. the plaintiffs were induced to enter into the contract in reliance upon the false representation and thereby suffered a detriment.

Justice Dorgan of the Court found that Mr. Keleher had not committed fraudulent misrepresentation on the basis that the standard of proof for fraud is higher than for other torts, in light of the seriousness of an allegation of deceit. Consequently, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant intended to mislead the plaintiff. While Justice Dorgan found that Mr. Keleher was aware of the Notices and the monitoring wells, and had them on his mind at the time of the transaction on the basis that he consulted with his realtor about whether he should have disclosed their existence, the judge held the evidence of the defendant’s intent to deceive the plaintiffs to be insufficient for a finding of fraud. The judge’s findings appear surprising in light of the facts and also because Mr. Keleher’s credibility as a witness was brought into question during the trial, when he made statements that were inconsistent with his evidence given during examination for discovery. Justice Dorgan’s rationale for not finding an intent to deceive on the part of Mr. Keleher was based on the fact that he was a police officer by profession, and therefore was “accustomed to accurately reporting facts”, and that he had not “positively misstated a fact” but rather left the plaintiffs with a false impression. It is interesting to note that his written answer of “No” to the question regarding the Notices was not considered to be a positive misstatement.

This decision appears to be inconsistent with the case cited by the Court for the test of fraudulent misrepresentation, Van Beek v. Dodd. In Van Beek, the defendant property developer represented in its sales literature that the house in question was a new build, and therefore subject to GST. The plaintiffs paid the purchase price plus an additional $40,000 to cover the GST, but later found out that the defendant declared this property as a sale of a former residence for income tax purposes. Even though at no point did the defendant expressly state to the plaintiffs that GST would be payable on top of the purchase price, the court found that the mere presentation of the house and the statements in the sales literature was enough for a finding of fraud.

Negligent Misrepresentation

The plaintiffs were, however, successful in arguing that Mr. Keleher had negligently misrepresented to them the state of the property. The Court was satisfied, based on an earlier British Columbia Supreme Court ruling (Hanslo v. Barry, 2011 BCSC 1624), that the vendor owed a duty of care to the purchasers based on their “special relationship”. In addition, the other four steps of the test for negligent misrepresentation were also made out (these elements include the need for an inaccurate or misleading representation, negligence by the representor in making the representation, reliance by the representee on the misrepresentation, and damages resulted from the reliance), with the result that Mr. Keleher was found to have committed this tort and was liable for damages.

Buyer Beware?

On the doctrine of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware), the plaintiffs claimed that there was nothing in the PDS or any of the surrounding circumstances that should have put the plaintiffs on notice that they needed to make further inquiries. As a result, the defendant could not reasonably argue that the plaintiffs could have discovered the defendant’s fraud if they had conducted a search of the Site Registry (a later search of the Site Registry did not yield any information concerning off-site contamination). The Court noted that where a misrepresentation is properly characterized as being fraudulent, the doctrine of caveat emptor will not apply.

Does Contamination Give Rise to Stigma?

A final point of interest on this case is the Court’s calculation of damages. It affirmed that the proper approach in a case of fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation is to assess the FMV of the property at the time of the sale (accounting for the contamination) and subtract that value from the price paid, with the remaining amount constituting the damages owed to the plaintiffs. The Court considered expert evidence on how to assess FMV for properties impacted by contamination. Since there was no appropriate data available for that period and from that area to use as a comparator, the expert for the plaintiffs assessed property values impacted by the stigma of having been a former grow-op for marijuana production on the mainland of BC around Vancouver. While the expert for the defendant identified several key weaknesses in this data as a comparator group, the Court found that his failure to provide a viable alternative method of assessment meant that the court was obliged to adopt the plaintiff’s approach.

Ultimately the Court was satisfied that stigma does arise when a property is known to be or potentially is contaminated, and found it was irrelevant that the property value had risen by more than the difference between the FMV and the price paid by the plaintiffs. The court also found that stigma in a stable market is of greater consequence than in a rapidly rising or falling market. The fact that the market was stable in 2013 in Victoria, that the property in question was a residential property where the comfort level with contamination is lower than in a commercial transaction, and that there was very little certainty as to the extent of the contamination, caused the court to factor in the impact of stigma considerably. The Court also assessed damages based on the reduced use and enjoyment of the property’s yard, as the presence of the wells now precluded the plaintiffs from building a pool, using that part of the yard for a shed they wished to build or from planting vegetables. Furthermore, the monthly visits by the environmental consulting company to attend to the wells was deemed to be highly intrusive. As a consequence, the Court held that the FMV of the property at the time of the sale was $95,000 less than what the plaintiffs had paid for it, and awarded damages in that amount.

On June 29, the OCC issued Bulletin OCC 2017-24, announcing its revised Comptroller’s Licensing Manual booklet, “Branch Closings,” replacing the booklet issued in April 2003. According to the Bulletin, the revised booklet describes the 90-day advance notice to the OCC and branch customers that a bank must observe before closing a branch. It also explains the specific timing, procedures, and forms of notice the bank must supply. The booklet, which applies to all national banks and federal savings associations, summarizes the different notice requirements for each under Section 42 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. It also lists steps for filing branch closing notices including: (i) sending advance notice to the OCC at least 90 days before closing; (ii) mailing notices to customers at least 90 days in advance; (iii) posting conspicuous notices at the branch at least 30 days in advance; and (iv) sending final closing notice to the OCC after the branch closes.

The notice requirement of Section 42 assists the OCC in assessing a bank’s record of opening and closing branches. The OCC reviews this record in examinations for compliance with Section 42 and in assessing performance under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted a “Joint Policy Statement on Branch Closing Notices and Policies” (Joint Policy Statement) in June 1991 to provide guidance regarding the requirements of the branch closing statute.

On July 5, the OCC issued an additional bulletin, OCC Bulletin 2017-25, revising the “General Policies and Procedures” booklet of the Comptroller’s Licensing Manual issued in March 2008. This booklet explains how to file applications or notices with the OCC, requirements of the filings, and the OCC processes for licensing filings. The revised booklet applies to national banks, federal savings associations, and other entities that are involved in certain transactions including: (i) organizing a new bank; (ii) opening or closing a branch; (iii) establishing subsidiaries; (iv) some changes to capital or debt; and (v) certain other transactions. The booklet describes important policies and includes sample forms, filing requirements, and fees. It also covers the OCC’s review, approval or denial, and subsequent consummation requirements and appeal procedures.

Bright idea to tackle poverty in Africa

Studio 2080 work with Senegalese government
Studio 2080 work with Senegalese government

A young entrepreneur from Linlithgow plans to reduce poverty in West African communities with little or no resources by providing them with low-cost technology.

Jeremie Warner and his business partner, Stephen Spiers from Stirling, created Studio 2080 in 2012, with the aim of building a truly sustainable business.

The entrepreneurs work with vulnerable people to implement solutions to problems taken for granted in the developed world, focusing on four major areas for development: energy, agriculture, education and healthcare.

Studio 2080 was recently announced as one of the 38 winners of the Young Innovators Challenge, an entrepreneurial competition which rewards students who have business ideas with a positive social impact.

The duo received £4,000 funding which will help them launch the business’ two major products.

The team plans to follow a ‘buy one – give one’ business model through the sale of ‘Power a Life’ portable USB power banks here in the UK which are designed to charge any smart device.

Profits from the sale of these will then be used to deliver similar devices, free of charge, to children in African schools, providing them with electricity and light to help them study at night.

Studio 2080 will also implement low cost Micro Drip Irrigation in the rural communities they work with. The agricultural watering kits allow farmers to grow crops in areas where there is little or no rainfall, ensuring food is available all year round.

The 27-year-old is completing a PhD in advanced architectural design at the University of Strathclyde, focusing on off grid rural electrification with renewables, which explores ways to provide smaller communities with sustainable energy.

Jeremie said: “We are committed to making our vision for Studio 2080 a reality. Over the last few years we have engaged with more than 2,500 customers in Senegal as well as with the Senegalese environmental minister, and have seen the positive difference this kind of business model can make.

“These communities have very little if any resources, so something as simple as providing a light can significantly improve a child’s education by giving them more opportunity to study at night.

“The funding received from the Young Innovators Challenge will be instrumental in helping us launch Power a Life in the UK market and implementing the Micro Drip Irrigation technology in Senegal.”

Do I have to type /sbin/

Ive been using linux for a while now. Moved from opensuse 10 over to fedora core 5, just to try it out really. I quite like it, but one thing bugs me. I am constantly typing /sbin/ for commands. Now I know I dont have to, because I never used to in Suse, but how do I set up the console to work without me typing /sbin/
Im guessing its something to do with the alias command, but Im haveing some problems with the alias command. How do I get rid of lines? specifically rm=rm -i
I would experiment, but I dont want to untill I know I can get rid of any dodgy lines in the alias command.

Add alias lines to your .bashrc file in your home directory. Lines like

alias rip='cdparanoia "1-" -v'

work fine. If you want to remove them, just edit .bashrc and restart Konsole.

I believe you alias commands should be in the file ~/.bashrc. Just comment out the line that says alias rm=`rm -i`

I believe you can add EXPORT PATH=/sbin: $PATH to the top of your .bashrc file and/or ~/.bash_profile. Then just do a source .bashrc and it should apply it to the current session. Otherwise, just logout and log back in, then type echo $PATH and see if it's been added.

For commands you have to type /sbin in front, there is 2 ways to solve this:

create an alias for it in .bashrc, e.g.,
alias fdisk='/sbin/fdsk'
or append /sbin to your path. Do that in .profile:
export PATH=${PATH}:/sbin
To fix 'rm', search where this alias is set (.bashrc, .alias, .profile) or clear the alias with the command "unalias rm". "unalias -a" will clear all aliases defined.

You should add sbin to your $PATH - variable. Whenever you type the name of some application in terminal, bash looks for an executable file with that name in the directories in the $PATH - variable.
The path variable consists of several colon-seperated directories. This is mine:
You can simply add /usr/sbin/ via:
However, that will only set the path variable for your current session. If you want to have it in your path variable whenever you login, you should put it into ~/.bash_profile. If you want it to be in the path variable of every user, you can modify /etc/profile and change the path variable there.

There is a reason these files are in /sbin/ it's because they are generally supposed to be called by root (who should have sbin in his path by default). I use Sudo but still maintain typing the /sbin/ path so that i don't become complacent about when and as whom i am running these commands as.

By way of clarification, a "normal" user should not need to use any of the commands in /sbin since they are (mostly) related to system administration tasks. For example, the rm command is in /bin, not /sbin.

That said, where your system looks for commands is controlled by the values of $PATH. The settings I have are like this:
[peter ~]$ echo $PATH
[peter ~]$ su -
[root@tss-4 ~]# echo $PATH
You can change what's in $PATH by editing /etc/profile so it calls pathmunge for the directories you want to add.

alias, bashrc

Mandrake 9.2 ADSL Alcatel 330 GNOME Went online once, never connected again???

At the risk of Cross-threading - I posed this question on the Network section and no one answered and I'm getting desperate!

I set up my Softtouch 330 Alcatel ADSL modem on my triple-boot system (98/XP/Linux).
Linux works fine, except that the only time I have ever been online was right after I ran the GNOME setup wizard in the Network Configuration section. It dialed up, worked fine.
The next time I went to Network Config to log on my ISP absolutely nothing happened!

I am a Linux Noob of the highest order, but even I can press 'Connect'! :-)

I wouldn't mind connecting even manually (though have no idea how to do so) except I don't know where GNOME puts all the pppd 'bits', etc or how to logon once I find where they are...

Anyone know what I should be checking or doing?

I am happy to type scripts etc (assuming I can grasp them). I just don't know where to start!

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

Thread to follow is: - there are also some answers here.

Gutsy Danny McRae returns ready for action in this dynamic and riveting read, set a few months on from Truth Dare Kill. This can be most definitely be read as a stand alone novel, however you will understand so much more of what makes Danny tick if you read his books in order. Post war London sees villains and corrupt coppers adroitly acquiring money while honest folk are seriously tempted by criminality in order to make ends meet.
Ferris maintains his deft touch in exposing the seedier side of life, his fabulous descriptions vividly bring to life the bomb eaten streets, bursting warehouses and conspicuously crimson parlours. Danny McRae; determined, driven and difficult is undeniably someone you would want on your side. Ferris reinforces his status as tenacious survivor when he drops him into Berlin. Ferris has the impressive ability to describe the daily struggle, the need for revenge, a city literally torn apart and make it touchable, understandable and so very, very real. ~ Liz Robinson

The Unexpected Professor An Oxford Life in Books by John Carey

Best known for his provocative take on cultural issues in The Intellectuals and the Masses and What Good Are the Arts?, John Carey describes in this warm and funny memoir the events that formed him - an escape from the London blitz to an idyllic rural village, army service in Egypt, an open scholarship to Oxford and an academic career that saw him elected, age 40, to Oxford's oldest English Literature professorship. He frankly portrays the snobberies and rituals of 1950s Oxford, but also his inspiring meetings with writers and poets - Auden, Graves, Larkin, Heaney - and his forty-year stint as a lead book-reviewer for the Sunday Times. This is a book about the joys of reading - in effect, an informal introduction to the great works of English literature. But it is also about war and family, and how an unexpected background can give you the insight and the courage to say the unexpected thing.

About the Author

John Carey

John Carey is Emeritus Merton Professor of English at Oxford University, a distinguished critic, reviewer and broadcaster, and the author of many books, including studies of Donne, Dickens and Thackeray. His guide to twentieth century literature, Pure Pleasure, was described by James Wood in the London Review of Books as 'likeable, wise and often right . . . One feels an attractive sense of partisanship in Carey's writing, an alliance with the ordinary, the plain spoken, the unlettered, the sympathetic and the humane. Carey writes with an Orwellian attention to decency'. His celebrated polemic What Good are the Arts? provoked much debate and discussion in 2005. He has been a regular critic on BBC2's Newsnight Review, and is also the editor of the best-selling anthologies The Faber Book of Reportage, The Faber Book of Science and The Faber Book of Utopias.

Lovereading view...

A fascinating look at the inventions developed by visionaries who dreamt of the seemingly impossible, but who were opposed by an array of experts publicly declaring that 'It cannot be done.' Well, yes it could ... And here's the story of how those dreamers overcame the odds against them. The new title from the author behind Red Herrings and White Elephants.

The Good Book Guide logo The Good Book Guide Review. Inventors and pioneers have throughout the ages been told to shut up and forget their bright ideas, as they will come to nothing. In this parade of the ridiculous, Albert Jack names and shames the naysayers who said there was no future for the motorcar, that computers were passing fads, and that all animal life in the sea would be extinct by the year 1980. Broken down into sections including ‘Science and Technology’, ‘Food’, ‘Popular Culture’, and ‘Glorious Failures’, the book shows just how cocksure some people can be, and why we should never listen to experts who profess to have all the answers.
~ Carl Hughes

They Laughed at Galileo by Albert Jack

From the wireless to the computer, and from hula hoops to interplanetary travel, inventions and discoveries have changed our lifestyles in ways that would have astounded our ancestors.

About the Author

Albert Jack

Albert Jack’s Red Herrings and White Elephants was a huge international hit and was on the bestsellers list for six months. His second, Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep was another success: selling over 70,000 copies. He is also the author of That's Bollocks!
