ABOUT THE BOOK Lil Wayne is the self-proclaimed “best rapper alive” and his popularity on Wikipedia certainly backs up that title. While Wayne may have more tattoos and nicknames than you can count, and style changing nearly as often as the seasons, his mainstream appeal is surprisingly consistent. Since Weezy first started rapping at the young age of 8, admirers and critics alike can’t seem to say enough about the star. His fans span a surprisingly wide-ranging demographic, from urban youths across the globe, to former President Bill Clinton — even President Barack Obama has Weezy on his iPod. His appearance, changes in musical style and even his taste in women keep industry insiders on their toes as they attempt to deconstruct Young Carter. MEET THE AUTHOR Jennifer Winter is a writer, wanderer, and wine lover living in Oakland, California (but always plotting travels abroad). She translates her 14 years of corporate combat experience to help young women navigate their careers through her column for The Daily Muse, and shares her own experiences tackling her fears on her blog FearLess Jenn. You can find her on Twitter @fearless_jenn. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Sales for the group’s sophomore album, Guerrilla Warfare (1999), eclipsed those of their first by selling well over one million copies. By now, Lil Wayne was well on his way to success, all by the age of 16 years old. In that same year, Wayne launched his solo career with his debut album, The Block Is Hot. The album was well received, eventually earning him platinum status, and debuted at the number three spot on the Billboard 200 in November 1999. As if this meteoric success wasn’t impressive enough, the album also led to his nomination for Best New Artist at the Source Awards. Wayne’s next two albums, Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002), didn’t see the same level of commercial appeal, with each “only” reaching gold-status sales. To some, this may have signaled the end of Lil Wayne’s success, but Wayne himself clearly didn’t see it that way and soldiered on to eventually release the franchise that would forever brand his name in the in the history of hip hop...

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Raumwissenschaften, Stadt- und Raumplanung, Note: 2,7, Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Sankt Augustin (Forschungs- und Innovationsagenda (FINA)), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Umwelt ist das wichtigste Gut, denn sie bietet allen Lebewesen Tag für Tag ein Zuhause. Daher steht der Schutz ihrerseits im Vordergrund. Damit auch in der Zukunft der Lebensraum besteht, sollte schon heute auf die Umwelt geachtet werden. Dies wird auch als Nachhaltigkeit bezeichnet. Somit geht es bei Nachhaltigkeit, um den rücksichtsvollen und vorausblickenden Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen. Doch schon heute gibt es einige Probleme, die nicht mehr vermieden werden können, wie zum Beispiel der Klimawandel. Die Forschungs- und Innovationsagenda (FINA) beschäftigt sich diesbezüglich mit dem Projekt der Zukunftsstadt. Die von der Bundesregierung entwickelte Nationale Plattform Zukunftsstadt (NPZ) setzt sich aus Kommunen, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft zusammen. Mehrere Bundesministerien sind am Aufbau dieses Projektes beteiligt. Sie unterstützen dabei die Entwicklung moderner Projekte und Forschungen, die die Nachhaltigkeit unserer Städte sichern sollen. Daher die Frage: Wie weit sind wir von einer Zukunftsstadt in Deutschland entfernt? Das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) beschäftigt sich mit der Förderung der Schwerpunkte Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung in Deutschland. Diese Schwerpunkte enthalten Maßnahmen, welche von der frühkindlichen Förderung bis hin zur beruflichen Weiterbildung ergriffen werden. Im Jahr 2016 investiert die Bundesregierung 16,4 Milliarden Euro in das BMBF womit es die Förderung vorantreibt. Das BMBF gliedert sich in acht Abteilungen, wobei die Abteilung „Zukunftsvorsorge – Forschung für Kultur; Grundlagen und Nachhaltigkeit“ hinreichend für die eigene Arbeit ist. Um das Projekt einer Zukunftsstadt zu verwirklichen, werden mehrere Zielsetzungen in Betracht gezogen. Diese Zielsetzungen beinhalten effektive Maßnahmen, mit denen die Folgen des Klimawandels eingegrenzt werden sollen.

Agriculture is one of the least “green” -- that is, the least environmentally friendly -- sectors in Canada, based on its energy-use intensity and greenhouse gas emissions intensity. But agriculture is also the “greenest” sector in Canada, according to one measure that calculates the proportion of “green employment” in various industries. Welcome to the world of “green jobs,” where vague definitions often give energy-intensive, carbon-heavy industries a “green” stamp of approval. Examples include companies making solar panels, but using large volumes of energy to do so or where an accountant preparing financial returns is counted as a “green” worker at one office, but turns instantly “dirty” should he cross the street to do the same accounting work at another office. It is also a world where inefficient power generation is considered positive, if it means employing more “green workers” per unit of power output, regardless of any negative effects that may have on the economy. The concept of “green jobs” has become immensely popular among policy planners looking to address the problem of global warming, yet are aware of the economic costs of anti-carbon measures. The promise that western economies can reduce carbon emissions while creating thousands, if not millions, of “green jobs” -- which will more than compensate for the job losses that will occur in sectors reliant on fossil fuels -- has been especially embraced by politicians, relieved to find a pro-climate policy that also doubles as a pro-economic policy. Unfortunately, there is scant agreement on what fairly qualifies as a “green job,” and much evidence that what policy-makers frequently consider “green jobs” are, in fact, existing jobs, belonging to the traditional economy, but simply reclassified as “green.” By emphasizing “green jobs,” policy-makers risk measuring environmental progress based on a concept that can often be entirely irrelevant, or worse, can actually be detrimental to both the environment and the economy. Too often, “green job” policies reward inefficiency, while also failing to distinguish between permanent, full-time jobs and temporary or part-time jobs. In some cases they can also discourage trade, limit or thwart competition, result in greater job losses elsewhere in the economy, and demand massive government subsidies, with some government “green job” programs requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions, to create a single job. The urge of politicians to champion “green employment” is understandable given its convenient, if frequently unrealistic promise of a politically saleable anti-carbon policy. However, a more reliable and meaningful measure of environmental progress ultimately has little to do with the number of jobs a particular company creates (after all, if economic efficiency -- and hence, prosperity -- is indeed a policy goal, the number of jobs created should ideally be as minimal as necessary for every unit of output). Rather, if minimizing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions is the desired policy outcome, then measuring the intensity of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions per unit of output can be the only meaningful metric. It may not have the political appeal that a promise of “green jobs” does. But unlike “green jobs,” both of these measures provide quantifiable, non-arbitrary metrics of environmental performance and progress. In other words, unlike the problematic, arguably illusory concept of “green employment,” measuring energy-use intensity and emissions.

Abstract: Cortical neurogenesis depends on the balance between self-renewal and differentiation of apical progenitors (APs). Here, we study the epigenetic control of AP's division mode by focusing on the enzymatic activity of the histone methyltransferase DOT1L. Combining lineage tracing with single-cell RNA sequencing of clonally related cells, we show at the cellular level that DOT1L inhibition increases neurogenesis driven by a shift of APs from asymmetric self-renewing to symmetric neurogenic consumptive divisions. At the molecular level, DOT1L activity prevents AP differentiation by promoting transcription of metabolic genes. Mechanistically, DOT1L inhibition reduces activity of an EZH2/PRC2 pathway, converging on increased expression of asparagine synthetase (ASNS), a microcephaly associated gene. Overexpression of ASNS in APs phenocopies DOT1L inhibition, and also increases neuronal differentiation of APs. Our data suggest that DOT1L activity/PRC2 crosstalk controls AP lineage progression by regulating asparagine metabolism

Climate change is a national and international issue. Nevertheless, municipalities around the world have cemented themselves as key players in reducing emissions and adapting to the increase in extreme weather events. The third report in the Who Does What series from Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance (IMFG) and Urban Policy Lab focuses on the role of Canadian municipalities play in the fight against climate change, and how that role can complement and be supported by other orders of government.

Since 2003, provincial governments in Canada have encouraged substantial private investment in renewable energy sources, notably in wind power which can provide environmental benefits at lower cost than other forms of renewable energy. Designing targeted energy policies and procurement programs to attract new privately-financed wind power capacity has thus been a central element of several provincial governments' broader energy agendas. Until now, however, there has not been an assessment of the role of these policies in attracting new investment into the provinces.
