Canada’s Plan to Spur Innovation
OTTAWA–Canadian scientists are wondering if the rhetoric will match the reality in a new 10-year research innovation plan unveiled here today. The plan reaffirms the Canadian government’s commitment to double annual R&D spending, to US$9.2 billion, by 2010. It also backs greater commercialization of publicly funded academic research and demands that universities “more aggressively” contribute to industrial innovation if they want more money.The paper reiterates the government’s stated goal of making Canada one of the world’s top five R&D performing nations. But that won’t happen, says Industry Minister Allan Rock, unless Canadians start to “do everything we now do, smarter.” Among the few specifics in the document is a proposal to set up at least 10 Silicon Valley-like “technology clusters” in areas such as biopharmaceuticals, photonics, and nanotechnology. The plan also contains commitments to cover part of indirect research costs at universities and address the growing gap between have and have-not institutions (Science, 1 February, p. 788). The government also pledges to increase the budgets of the nation’s three research granting councils (but doesn’t specify by how much), to double the number of graduate fellowships awarded by the councils, and to give graduate students a chance to conduct applied research in industrial settings.But although the additional money would make it easier to deepen the nation’s scientific talent pool, the councils and universities will still shoulder much of the responsibility, says Thomas Brzustowski, president of Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council: “Even if the funding is increased, the granting councils and the universities together have to learn to translate that into accelerated graduation rates of highly qualified personnel.”Sign up for our daily newsletterGet more great content like this delivered right to you!Country *AfghanistanAland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBolivia, Plurinational State ofBonaire, Sint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCape VerdeCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCongoCongo, The Democratic Republic of theCook IslandsCosta RicaCote D’IvoireCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzech RepublicDenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEthiopiaFalkland Islands (Malvinas)Faroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and Mcdonald IslandsHoly See (Vatican City State)HondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIran, Islamic Republic ofIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKorea, Democratic People’s Republic ofKorea, Republic ofKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People’s Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyan Arab JamahiriyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacaoMacedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic ofMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMoldova, Republic ofMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorwayOmanPakistanPalestinianPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalQatarReunionRomaniaRussian FederationRWANDASaint Barthélemy Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da CunhaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint Martin (French part)Saint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint Maarten (Dutch part)SlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwazilandSwedenSwitzerlandSyrian Arab RepublicTaiwanTajikistanTanzania, United Republic ofThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkeyTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVenezuela, Bolivarian Republic ofVietnamVirgin Islands, BritishWallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweI also wish to receive emails from AAAS/Science and Science advertisers, including information on products, services and special offers which may include but are not limited to news, careers information & upcoming events.Required fields are included by an asterisk(*)The long-overdue white paper kicks off 7 months of meetings leading up to a national innovation summit in October.

This post is adapted from a webinar I hosted for Network for Good. Thanks to my colleague Caryn for the content!. And while we’re on the topic of storytelling, don’t forget next week’s free webinar on storytelling! (Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at 1 pm ET— Sign up even if you can’t make it, because we’ll send you a recording afterward. You can listen to it any time you like.)Storytelling is great for fundraising and creating awareness. People relate to other people and their stories. Remember these guidelines and you’ll soon be telling great stories about your impact, the people you help and your generous supporters. Plus, you’ll be a big hit at the next dinner party, too.Photo via Big Stock Photo1. Everybody has a story to tell. So go find them. If you don’t have a great story, turn to your volunteers, turn to your coworkers, or turn to the people you help.2. Avoid the “kitchen sink.” Some people try to relay every single aspect and bit of minutia about their organization and their programs in a story. While that may seem like a good idea — the more information you put out the more convincing it is, right? — it actually creates information overload. Instead, find one small anecdote or facet of your work and show how it relates to everything else. Create a snapshot that people will remember.3. Nice is not enough. You’re a nonprofit and so you are doing good work — it comes with the territory. That is not enough to pique somebody’s interest. You need to find a good backstory — something unique and something that can create emotion and interest.4. Don’t be too close and don’t be too far. If you’re too close to your cause you may be numb to some of the interesting and amazing things that happen as a result of your work. If you’re too far removed from your cause, you may be stuck in policy planning and have lost touch with the emotion of it.5. Share your senses. All five of them. The more you can make the reader feel like he or she is there, the better.6. Always keep your audience in mind. Perhaps you have an industry specific newsletter or are trying to reach legislators. In that case, you may want to include the technical details, butin most other cases, you should avoid it.7. Fit into a larger trend or story. You don’t have to try to match up with the biggest headline of the week, but try to find some sort of trend, whether local, regional or national. If there is no trend, then ask yourself if the story is important right now. Is there a policy decision to be made, other news stories about your cause at large, or any form of public polls taking place?
Yes, you read that right. One of the meanest Ferraris from its stable, the Pista is all set to make its debut this year. The track-focused 488 variant will get an overhaul and will be called Pista, which incidentally is the Indian word for pistachios.The pictures were shared on an American forum website called ‘Ferrari Chat’, which shows the car’s mean aerodynamic changes which includes a large splitter at the front, and a bigger rear diffuser, and the name as well – Ferrari Pista.Ferrari has not yet gone official with the car yet, or the name. The only respite we have here is in the form of an official nod to point towards the upcoming car apart from footage released last week which showed the 458 successor on the track at Ferrari’s Maranello base. The Ferrari Pista is all set to become the most hardcore, track-focused road car Ferrari has ever produced. The Pista gets a 709bhp engine derived from the 488 Challenge racecar, and will also feature newly revised bodywork working towards maximising downforce and reduce drag.We expect the Pista’s engine spec to be similar to the mid-mounted turbocharged 3.9-litre V8 in the standard 488, but with additional boosting and increased turbo pressure with internal modifications so as to produce its anticipated 709bhp with increased torque as compared to the standard 488 figure of 760Nm.Also known as the 488 GTO, the mean track-road car will get a dash of carbon fibre parts for the body and the interior. The car will get the standard carbon-fibre tub for the occupants, and the dashboard. On the outside, the bonnet, bumpers and a rear spoiler will get the carbon fibre treatment.advertisement There is more weight-reduction. Ferrari will be using 20-inch wheels made from carbon-fibre, which are 40 per cent lighter than the standard 488 rims.The transmission will be the previously known seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, but we expect the tech boffins at Ferrari to give the Pista its own unique settings alongside Slide Slip Control management which will allow for greater yaw angles before fully intervening.Ferrari is also yet to confirm whether the name Pista is going to stick. Previously rumoured to be called GTO, and then ‘New V8 Sport Special Series’ in the leaked slides. If one remembers correctly, the last proper GTO, or should we say, the only two GTOs were the 250 and the 288. There was a 599 GTO, a road legal version of the 599XX, which led many to claim it was not worthy of a GTO badge.Prices are unknown yet and tipped to be significantly more than the current 488 GTB. But seriously, do we care?
Switzerland became the first nation to register a come-from-behind victory in the FIFA World Cup 2018 as they beat Serbia 2-1 in their Group E fixture on Friday.The Swiss were trailing 1-0 just after five minutes in the first half when Aleksandar Mitrovic netted for Serbia. Mitrovic has been in splendid form this year and has scored 18 times in 26 games for club and country.That was the only goal scored in the first 45 minutes but early into the second half Switzerland clawed their way back into the game as Granit Xhaka equalised with a stunning strike from outside the Serbian box.FIFA World Cup 2018, Serbia vs Switzerland: HighlightsIt was the 25-year-old’s fifth goal from outside the box for the Swiss out of the 10 that he has scored overall.A goal at the beginning of each halfThat’s now 26 games without a 0-0 now at this #WorldCup#SRBSUI 1-1 pic.twitter.com/iEqUuVbQMvFIFA World Cup (@FIFAWorldCup) June 22, 2018The two sides battled for possession and superiority for the next 38 minutes but had little to show for their efforts.That is when Xherdan Shaqiri turned it around in the final minute of normal time as he sprinted clear having been played onside at the half-way line and maintained his composure to clip the ball underneath the goalkeeper.ANOTHER late strike in Group E! #SRBSUI pic.twitter.com/xvkTJkkpckFIFA World Cup (@FIFAWorldCup) June 22, 2018The win saw Switzerland extend its record of just one loss in 24 outings. This was their 17th win in the said period in which they have drawn just 6 games. Their last loss came against Portugal in the World Cup qualifier in October 2017.advertisementThe result left Brazil, 2-0 winners over Costa Rica, top with four points, ahead of Switzerland on goal difference with Serbia on three.Brazil and Serbia meet in their final game while the Swiss face Costa Rica, already eliminated after losing their first two games.So, Group E…1) #BRA2) #SUI3) #SRB4) #CRC #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/C01rVGhsSyFIFA World Cup (@FIFAWorldCup) June 22, 2018Serbia made a flying start and Mitrovic forced Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer into an early save with a close-range header.Sommer was powerless, however, in the fifth minute when Nemanja Matic won the ball and found Dusan Tadic, whose cross was met with a soaring header from Mitrovic.With Mitrovic proving a handful for the Swiss defence, Serbia threatened to over-run their opponents and missed another chance when a corner flew across the face of goal and Dusko Tosic just failed to make contact.Switzerland came right back into the game seven minutes after halftime thanks to Xhaka’s fulminating strike after a rebound fell nicely into his path.Xhaka was almost upstaged by Shaqiri who clipped the crossbar with a curling, dipping shot from the unlikeliest of angles and the match turned into a pulsating end-to-end affair which was brilliantly settled by Shaqiri.Switzerland cleared a Serbia attack and a through pass sent the diminutive forward scuttling away before he slotted the ball neatly into the far corner.(With Reuters inputs)

zoom The Port of Rotterdam Authority has signed a partnership agreement with the Indonesian Port Corporation Pelindo I in Medan, North Sumatra, for the development of the new deep-sea port in Kuala Tanjung. The authority will now carry out a feasibility study for the new port together with Pelindo I. A project organisation will be created for this purpose that will include a number of the authority’s employees locally and based in Rotterdam.Depending on the outcome of this feasibility study, the Rotterdam port operator will assess whether it will enter into a joint venture with Pelindo I for the further realisation of the port.”We want to share our knowledge in the construction, development and management of Kuala Tanjung. We are confident that the Port Authority and Pelindo I will form a strong team that will serve the country and provide for a better future” the Rotterdam Port Authority’s CEO Allard Castelein said.Kuala Tanjung, a proposed site for the new deep-sea port, is located near the city of Medan in the Strait of Malacca, one of the busiest shipping routes in the world.Indonesia’s president Joko Widodo has made strengthening of the country’s maritime sector a spearhead of his policy in order to promote economic growth, and Kuala Tanjung is one of the main projects in the national maritime strategy.

Looking at the matter between the two getting worse a nearby sweeper came forward and stopped the fight and asked the people to go their own way. As has been alleged earlier where it was claimed the group of six men tore the kurta of the 25-year-old, the CCTV images do not reveal any such incident taking place.

Four men on bike and two on foot, who appeared to be drunk, stopped me. They said I cannot wear a skull cap in their area. Two men beat me while those on bike abused me and fled. I could not note down the bike’s number, neither do I know them. But I can identify them if I see them again.” It has been claimed that when Barkat tried to push the man and run away, the man allegedly tore his shirt. As Barkat broke down the men left. Four of them drove away in a motorcycle and two just walked away into one of the alleys in the area.

Chris StewartAPTN NewsAlberta Premier Jason Kenney brought Indigenous leaders from Treaty six, seven, and eight areas to government house in Edmonton to talk about the province’s energy sector and where the communities fit in.The group from 48 communities were all smiles after the meeting after the meeting where Kenney announced the creation of the Indigenous Opportunities Corporation (IOC).It will be responsible for awarding $1-billlion to Indigenous groups who want to invest in the energy sector, by providing loan guarantees.“While there has been a lot of great progress to celebrate our First Nations, the truth is there is still too many Aboriginal Albertans who live in poverty who have not enjoyed the prosperity of this province,” Kenney said. “And our government is determined to work collaboratively with our First Nations to change that.“To ensure that Aboriginal Albertans are full partners in prosperity.”(Leaders at Monday’s meeting with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.

And I think clearly from our experience , the answer is yes,” he said.The money from the IOC will go to First Nation and Metis Communities who want to invest in the energy sector.That includes investing in the Trans-mountain pipeline expansion project, or in renewable energy.(Grand Chief Arthur Noskey, left, followed by Chief Aaron Young, Grand Chief Wilton Littlechild, Minister of Indigenous Relations Rick Wilson, and Chief Roy Fox.

BullyingUK said calls relating to cyberbullying rose by 77 per cent last year.ChildLine reported an 88 per cent increase in calls related to cyberbullying in the past five years. The research was published in the journal European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. Prof Dieter Wolke, of the department of psychology at the University of Warwick, said: “Many media reports have portrayed that cyberbullying is an epidemic, suggesting many new victims are created. Our findings show that very few new victims are created.”The same bullies that confront their victims in school and know them face to face also now use cyber tools to bully their victims and extend their reach to outside school. The same bullies that confront their victims in school and know them face to face also now use cyber tools to bully their victimsProf Dieter Wolke “However, being directly victimised and relationally excluded are still the main forms of bullying.” They also wanted to find out if online abuse was worse psychologically for victims than traditional playground bullying.Although nearly one in three of the children said they had been bullied, just one per cent were only bullied online, the study found. Cyberbullying was found to lower self-esteem and increase depression as seriously as traditional bullying.When youngsters were bullied by multiple means, such as being beaten, socially excluded, or victimised online, the psychological impact was worse. Being able to target victims online allowed the reach of bullies to extend into their homes. Cyberbullying has largely affected children who were already being picked on rather than creating new victims, according to researchers.In recent years, helplines for children have reported huge increases in the number of online victims, who are often abused and taunted through social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.But a study found that 99 per cent of children would have been bullied regardless of new technology, as the internet merely gave bullies another outlet to torment victims.Academics at the University of Warwick questioned 2,700 pupils aged between 11 and 16 from secondary schools in Britain, to determine whether cyberbullying finds new victims.

On Thursday, April 12, AGDC President Keith Meyer stated in a press conference that Nikiski is still the preferred site for the natural gas liquefaction plant and terminus. Back in March, a schedule was released by the FERC to the AGDC. According to the plan, a draft Environmental Impact Statement will be completed by March 2019, with the final Environmental Impact Statement set for December of that year. The Mat-Su Borough filed a complaint on January 9, with the Federal Regulatory Energy Commision (FERC) stating that the project and regulators “improperly and intentionally excluded” the borough’s Port MacKenzie as a “reasonable alternative” for the proposed liquefied natural gas plant. Construction will begin after FERC finalizes its regulatory decision in March 2020. Nikiski was identified as the preferred site location over four years ago, after more than two dozen possible locations were analyzed. According to the AGDC they plan to build a natural gas offtake facility at milepost 731 (measured from Prudhoe Bay) for gas withdrawals in the Mat-Su valley. Facebook0TwitterEmailPrintFriendly分享The President of the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation has confirmed that Nikiski is still the preferred site for the AK LNG liquefaction facility.
Four U.S. scientific institutions have been promised $53 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to build and operate the nation’s most powerful research network. The computer network’s official name is the Distributed Terascale Facility, taken from its targeted capacity to perform trillions of operations per second (teraflops) and store hundreds of terabytes of data. But if it’s a success, it may go down in history as Internet 3.The teragrid, as it’s been dubbed, is touted as a new breed of supercomputing, with software that will allow high-speed, high-bandwidth connections previously not possible. “It’s not just size or speed,” says Fran Berman, head of the San Diego Supercomputer Center. “This will change how people use data, and how they compute.” Her counterpart at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Urbana-Champaign, Dan Reed, says it will “eliminate the tyranny of time and distance.” Speaking at a hastily arranged teleconference shortly after the award was approved by the National Science Board last Thursday, project leaders said that the teragrid will be a boon for researchers working on everything from drug discovery to long-range climate forecasting.The institutions–the University of California, San Diego; the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena; and Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago–were the only entrants in what was scheduled to be a competition. “We were under a lot of political pressure to get this out by September,” says an NSF official, “and we only gave them 3 months to put together their bid.” Despite the advantage of having an open field, the winners put together a proposal “that passed [peer review] with flying colors,” says Bob Borchers, NSF’s head of advanced computing. “We told them what we were looking for, and they responded magnificently.”Sign up for our daily newsletterGet more great content like this delivered right to you!Country *AfghanistanAland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBolivia, Plurinational State ofBonaire, Sint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCape VerdeCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCongoCongo, The Democratic Republic of theCook IslandsCosta RicaCote D’IvoireCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzech RepublicDenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEthiopiaFalkland Islands (Malvinas)Faroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and Mcdonald IslandsHoly See (Vatican City State)HondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIran, Islamic Republic ofIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKorea, Democratic People’s Republic ofKorea, Republic ofKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People’s Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyan Arab JamahiriyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacaoMacedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic ofMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMoldova, Republic ofMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorwayOmanPakistanPalestinianPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalQatarReunionRomaniaRussian FederationRWANDASaint Barthélemy Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da CunhaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint Martin (French part)Saint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint Maarten (Dutch part)SlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwazilandSwedenSwitzerlandSyrian Arab RepublicTaiwanTajikistanTanzania, United Republic ofThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkeyTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVenezuela, Bolivarian Republic ofVietnamVirgin Islands, BritishWallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweI also wish to receive emails from AAAS/Science and Science advertisers, including information on products, services and special offers which may include but are not limited to news, careers information & upcoming events.Required fields are included by an asterisk(*)The teragrid will build upon an existing 40-billion-bits-per-second fiber-optic network, the so-called Internet 2, created by Qwest, one of three key industrial partners in the facility. It will rely on clustered Linux servers from IBM powered by thousands of Itanium-family processors from Intel. Each of the four institutions will contribute hardware and software to the teragrid, which by April 2003 is expected to deliver 13.6 teraflops of computing power and more than 450 terabytes of storage. NSF officials hope to then “deepen” the network to connect a steadily rising number of regional and local sites.
