Then governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, stated at ICAP's founding ceremony:"This first of its kind partnership will provide more incentives for clean-tech investment and economic growth while not letting polluters off the hook. And it will help renew the health of our planet."José Sócrates, the Portuguese prime minister further added that ICAP was launched in order to join carbon markets all over the world and by that be more successful in combating climate change. ICAP includes members from the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS), Western Climate Initiative (WCI), Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

Q462045 The Emden Company was a Prussian trading company which was established in 1752 to trade primarily with the city of Canton in China. Its full name was the Royal Prussian Asiatic Company in Emden to Canton and China (Königlich Preußische Asiatische Compagnie in Emden nach Canton und China), but it was generally known by the shorter name.The Company was made possible by the Prussian annexation of the port of Emden in 1744. This gave the Prussians a North Sea port. Frederick the Great established the company hoping to give Prussia a share of the valuable Asian trade similar to the British East India Company or the Dutch East India Company.Although the small company was very successful, never losing any of its four ships, the business was destroyed by the outbreak of the Seven Years' War and the occupation of Emden by French troops in 1757 during the Invasion of Hanover.

Q6282840 Joseph Eastham High School was a comprehensive school in Salford, England, built at the end of the 1950s by Lancashire County Council, and following reorganisation arising from the Local Government Act 1972, came under the auspices of Salford City Council. The school served the areas of Little Hulton, Walkden, Worsley and Boothstown, and was named after a well-respected Little Hulton grocer who lived on Hilton Lane where the school was sited, and had a shop on Smithfold Lane. Joseph Eastham was also a Councillor and Alderman who had a keen interest in educational provision and invested in local billiard halls and youth clubs.The original school buildings were designed by St. Annes architect Tom Mellor as a 450 place secondary modern. The first headteacher was Eric Livesey – "I arrived in 1960 but it wasn't opened until 1961, it was an absolute mess, unfinished chaos. There were workmen and plaster everywhere." The building was enlarged in 1965 to accommodate 720, with further alterations in 1980 and 1990 to cater for 900 pupils, and finally in 1997 to provide for over a thousand pupils.The school also grew in reputation and became affectionately known as "Joey's". The maroon and blue striped school tie was the mainstay of school uniform. Plain grey pullovers or cardigans, black for fifth years, gave way in the 1990s to maroon jumpers displaying an embroidered school stag. The Joseph Eastham badge was created by the school's first art teacher who 'borrowed' the tongue-pulling stag's head from the crest of local nobleman, Lord Hulton, "Issuant out of a ducal coronet a hart's head and neck argent" and added a Lancashire rose "between two branches of hawthorn proper".The school operated a five form entry with pupils joining one of three houses Tudor, Stuart and Windsor, later changed to four Houses York, Kent, Cornwall and Edinburgh. – When the school grew to eight form entry in the 1990s, a fifth house, Lancaster, was added. The school had extensive playing fields, and its Soccer, Hockey, Rugby, Rounders, Volleyball, Cricket, Netball and Athletics teams established an enviable reputation in Salford leagues and competitions, many Joseph Eastham pupils representing Salford at national level. The annual Sports Day enabled the Houses to compete against each other watched by cheering crowds freed from lessons for the occasion.The school had a tradition of educational visits and holidays, most notably long-standing activity holidays at Westward Ho! in Devon, Lyme Regis in Dorset, Barry Island in South Wales, the Isle of Wight, water sports holidays in Spain and France, visits to Italy and Austria, trips to Disneyland Paris, and camping in the Lake District. The 1970s and 1980s also saw a rise in the number of after school and lunchtime clubs being offered including: Art, Brass Band, Chess, Choir, Christian Union, Cross Country Running, Drama, Gardening, Gymnastics, Philately, Railway Modelling, Steel Band, and Trampolining.Eric Livesey retired in 1982 and his deputy Kevin Comrie, who had joined the school in 1978, was appointed headteacher.The school fostered an enduring tradition of school plays, particularly musicals, including: The Last Reckoning (1976), Toad of Toad Hall (1977), The Wizard of Oz (1981), Oh, What a Lovely War (1981), Oliver (1983 and 1997), Our Day Out (1992 and 2001), Smithy (1993), Grease (1994), Blood Brothers (1995), Little Shop of Horrors (1998), and West Side Story (1999).Profile was the slightly anarchic school magazine, a mix of humorous and serious content edited by older pupils, which gently poked fun at the teachers from 1977 to 1997 and won the TV Times Press Gang competition in 1989 earning the school a state-of-the-art Amiga 2000 computer. From 1995 to 2000, the school also published NewsLink for parents of pupils at the school.The school's Art Department displayed work at nearby St. Ann's Hospice and in spare window space at Walkden Tesco (and the Scan supermarket that preceded it) who in return provided bags for the distribution of the Harvest Festival foods which pupils collected each year and distributed to the elderly of Little Hulton and Walkden, many of whom were also invited into school at Christmastime for a festive dinner and to be entertained by pupils. The Joseph Eastham Steel Band, in addition to performing regularly in school, performed at St. Ann's Hospice and Ellesmere Shopping Centre, and also represented Salford at the Northwest Schools' Prom held at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall in 1999.The Carol Concert was a regular event, often with feeder primary schools providing an audience. Year group Christmas parties and discos were also regular features of Christmas at Joeys and other common events included Talent Shows and hugely popular Staff Pantomimes. Each year Joseph Eastham pupils collected money for a Christmas Charity, including the British Heart Foundation, a 'Pennies for Peru' appeal in support of a school for poor children in Lima, and raising enough money to buy and train a guide dog, a golden labrador that later visited the school with its owner. 'Rags to Riches' fancy dress and non-uniform days also became a regular focus of fun as well as charitable donation. Fundraising events organised by the school's Parent Teachers' Association included evening socials, fashion shows, and for many years a Summer Fete or Fayre was held in June on the school playing fields.From the early 1980s, the Fifth Year Common Room provided a semi-informal base for senior pupils to assemble in the morning, socialise at break and lunchtime, and store personal possessions in lockers. Funds for equipment were initially raised by a sponsored walk the length of the nearby M602 motorway a month before its official opening in 1982. Table tennis, pool and chess were enthusiastically undertaken every lunchtime, annual trophies were awarded to tournament champions, with the conkers competition usually attracting the largest participation.Joseph Eastham enjoyed considerable examination success, regarded by one Salford schools adviser as the best in the city when contextual value added factors were taken into consideration. Throughout the 1980s and well into the 1990s, the school's Attendance figures rivalled those of schools in more affluent areas of the city. In addition to operating a conventional prefect system where older pupils supervised areas at break and lunchtimes, the school also instigated an 'Adopt a Zone' initiative in which every form looked after an area of the school building, keeping corridors tidy and safe and ensuring that plants were watered and display boards undamaged.At this time schools were becoming much more accountable to the Department for Education with all the additional paperwork that entailed. Ofsted was formed in 1992 and Joseph Eastham, one of the first 300 schools inspected, received an extremely favourable report with the chief inspector praising the school's pastoral system as 'second to none'. Kevin Comrie took early retirement at Christmas 1993 and commented in an interview with Profile, "the job has changed so much and has become so much more taxing". The governors appointed Tony Walsh as headteacher from January 1994.The fabric of the school building was beginning to show its age in the 1990s. Leaking roofs required countless buckets and expensive maintenance, and some serious flooding not only yielded an impromptu holiday on health and safety grounds, but quite possibly fuelled calls for a new school building funded by a public-private partnership. The school had suffered a string of thefts and burglaries in the late 1980s and 1990s, and in response an ugly but effective security fence was erected around the school grounds in 1997.Joey's had long been at the forefront of Information Technology provision in Salford and was an early adopter of Apple Macintosh computers. By the end of the decade the school boasted four networked computer suites with over a hundred Apple and PC machines networked throughout the school. Joseph Eastham was greatly extended in 1997 and received a new Drama Studio, an additional Science Laboratory and a block of 10 new Maths, English and Modern Languages rooms. Despite such huge recent investment, in June 2000 Salford proposed the merger of Joseph Eastham and nearby Little Hulton Community School in order to "reduce surplus school places in Salford by between seven and 10 per cent" and save money.Although subsequent consultation confirmed that the proposed merger was unpopular among staff and pupils at both schools, and with parents, the LEA confirmed that the amalgamation would take place regardless. Joseph Eastham High School closed in summer 2001 and Harrop Fold High School was established in September 2001. The Joey's site housed the new school's younger pupils until a new building on the Hilton Lane playing fields was completed. The former Joseph Eastham High School buildings were demolished in the summer of 2008.

Q7308641 Reginald Ashley Caton (1897–1971) was an English publisher. He appears as a literary character, especially in novels by Kingsley Amis.In 1924 he founded the Fortune Press in London, initially as a small press specialising in gay erotica. Such was his admiration for the Nonesuch Press’s 1924 translation of Plato’s Symposium, however, that he published an almost exact copy of it. Nonesuch immediately threatened legal action, calling Caton and the Fortune Press “thieves and pirates”.In 1934 Caton was prosecuted for obscene libel, found guilty and ordered to pulp the offending books, although these editions could still be found on sale in the 1970s. Some of his titles have been described as mild homosexual porn and even "rank sodomy". It has even been suggested that Fortune Press was the closest thing that Britain had to a gay publishing house, until the establishment of the Gay Men's Press in the 1970s. But the main result of the obscenity trial was a swift shift in focus from porn to poetry. Caton himself referred to the trial as "no joke".In the end, according to the standard bibliography, Caton had published 600 books, from his publishing office at 21 Belgrave Road in London, perhaps outgrowing the adjective 'small'. Many of these are of literary interest, produced by the circumstance that paper was in short supply as soon as World War II started; and Fortune Press had hoarded stocks. Much of the regular magazine publishing of poetry, in particular, had to shut down. Caton is celebrated for obtaining the rights to Dylan Thomas's 18 Poems, which he published in 1934, with repercussions for the poet. During the war years he first rejected Philip Larkin's first novel Jill (for obscenity), but finally published it in 1946, as he did his poetry collection, The North Ship. No manuscript version of Jill has survived.Caton also published, for example, Nicholas Moore, and Wrenne Jarman. Experts have concluded that there was no literary, rather than business, consistency. In 1951 he published Bryan Magee's first book, an anthology of poems entitled Crucifixion and Other Poems.The Fortune Press was sold to Leonard Holdsworth, of The Charles Skilton Publishing Group.
Q568833 Meuse-Inférieure ([møz ɛ̃.fe.ʁjœʁ] "Lower Meuse"; Dutch: Beneden-Maas; German: Unteren-Maas) was a department of the French First Republic and French First Empire in present-day Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. It was named after the river Meuse. Its territory corresponded largely with the present-day provinces of Belgian and Dutch Limburg. It was created on 1 October 1795, when the Austrian Netherlands, the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and the left bank of the Rhine were officially annexed by the French Republic. Before the reunion with France, its territory was part of the County of Loon, the Austrian Upper Guelders, the Staats-Oppergelre, the County of Horne, the Abbacy of Thorn, Maastricht and part of the Lands of Overmaas. The lands of the original medieval Duchy of Limburg were associated with the Overmaas lands, lying to their south. The two regions had long been governed together and referred to collectively with both names, but the original Duchy lands were not part of this new entity.The Chef-lieu of the department was Maastricht. The department was subdivided into the following three arrondissements and cantons:Maastricht: Bilzen, Galoppe, Heerlen, Malines-sur-Meuse, Maastricht (2 cantons), Meerssen, Oirsbeek, Rolduc and Tongres.Hasselt: Béringue, Looz, Hasselt, Herck-la-Ville, Peer and Saint-Trond.Roermond: Achel, Brée, Maaseik, Niederkrüchten, Ruremonde, Venlo and Weert.After Napoleon was defeated in 1814, the department (excluding Niederkrüchten and Herzogenrath which were assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia and are presently located in North Rhine-Westphalia) became part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, as the Province of Limburg (with a part of the Roer département).In subsequent events starting in 1830, a part of this Kingdom split out to become Belgium. By 1839 it was settled that the Hasselt canton of Limburg, plus significant parts of the other two, went into Belgium, while the rest remained in the Netherlands. Both provinces have kept the name Limburg.
Q1478111 Stichometry refers to the practice of counting lines in texts: Ancient Greeks and Romans measured the length of their books in lines, just as modern books are measured in pages. This practice was rediscovered by German and French scholars in the 19th century. Stichos is the Greek word for a 'line' of prose or poetry and the suffix '-metry' is derived from the Greek word for measurement.The length of each line in the Iliad and Odyssey, which may have been among the first long, Greek texts written down, became the standard unit for ancient stichometry. This standard line (Normalzeile, in German) was thus as long as an epic hexameter and contained about 15 syllables or 35 Greek letters.Stichometry existed for several reasons. Scribes were paid by the line and their fee per line was sometimes fixed by legal decree. Authors occasionally cited passages in the works of other authors by giving their approximate line number. Book buyers used total line counts to check that copied texts were complete. Library catalogs listed the total number of lines in each work along with the title and author.Scholars believe that stichometry became established in Athens sometime during the 5th century BCE when copying prose works became common. Stichometry is mentioned briefly in Plato's Laws (c. 347 BCE), several times in Isocrates (early to mid-4th century), and in Theopompus (late 4th to early 3rd century), but these casual references suggest the practice was already routine. The same standard line was used for stichometry among the Greeks and Romans for about a thousand years until stichometry apparently fell out of use among the Byzantine Greeks in the Middle Ages as page numbers became more common.The standard work on stichometry is Kurt Ohly's 1928 Stichometrische Untersuchungen which collects together the results of some fifty years of scholarly debate and research. Today, stichometry plays a small but useful role in research in fields as diverse as the history of the ancient book, papyrology, and Christian hermeneutics.

Q942867 Jean Marie Auguste Bachelot de La Pylaie (May 25, 1786 in Fougères, Ille-et-Vilaine – October 12, 1856) was a French botanist, explorer and archaeologist. He studied at Laval, and then in Paris at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, where he was a pupil of Georges Cuvier (1769–1832) and Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville (1777–1850). He was a prolific explorer, mainly in France, but also in Africa and America, in particular the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. In 1816, sailing on the frigate Cybele, he surveyed St. George's Bay during a three months tour of Newfoundland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. He was the first known collector of local species in Saint Pierre. In December 1825, he began surveying the French islands of Hoëdic and Houat, to pursue his passion of collecting algae. In January 1826, instead of returning to the continent as he had originally planned, he stayed on the islands, having become fond of their inhabitants, and began to describe their lives, their activities, and the natural history of their environment. He was the author of various archaeological studies on Brittany.

Q223403 Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a form of counseling intervention that draws on various theories of alternative medicine including acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming, energy medicine, and Thought Field Therapy (TFT). It is best known through Gary Craig's EFT Handbook, published in the late 1990s, and related books and workshops by a variety of teachers. EFT and similar techniques are often discussed under the umbrella term "energy psychology".Advocates claim that the technique may be used to treat a wide variety of physical and psychological disorders, and as a simple form of self-administered therapy. The Skeptical Inquirer describes the foundations of EFT as "a hodgepodge of concepts derived from a variety of sources, [primarily] the ancient Chinese philosophy of chi, which is thought to be the 'life force' that flows throughout the body." The existence of this life force is "not empirically supported".EFT has no benefit as a therapy beyond the placebo effect or any known-effective psychological techniques that may be provided in addition to the purported "energy" technique. It is generally characterized as pseudoscience and it has not garnered significant support in clinical psychology.
