Learn more in YouTube’s privacy policy Always display content from YouTube Others certainly knew Michael better than me Yet I got to see him from the vantage of someone whose views clashed with his (rather than the vantage of like-minded colleagues) he never lost his good will or his eagerness for free even on topics where he thought the other party was completely and hopelessly misguided as he did about my embrace of intelligent design I thought his embrace of Darwinism was likewise completely and hopelessly misguided Unlike some debates I’ve had with opponents of intelligent design I never had the sense with Michael that we were keeping score and adding up points to determine a winner I wasn’t sure what to make of Michael when I first met him and saw him in action. That said, I wasn’t sure what to make of Phil Johnson either when I first met him — a lawyer taking on biological evolution, really? Both ended up as my friends. And both are now sadly gone (here’s my remembrance of Phil) Michael struck me as full of himself but also as not taking himself too seriously as when someone in the audience asked him a gotcha question to make him look foolish I’ve tried to come up with a single word that captures my recollection of Michael at our first encounter and then in the subsequent decades of our friendship and not in a reserved or modest way but with spirit and gusto The funniest incident I recall with Michael occurred at a Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint Forum that took place in Georgia in February of 2006 The Greer-Heard forum was a generously underwritten annual event featuring two speakers taking opposite sides on an important cultural issue Wright concerning the historicity of the biblical accounts about Jesus and it can be purchased to this day on Amazon.  This forum provoked a remark from Michael that I found hilariously funny and that’s etched into my memory Our exchange took place around the time that the new atheists Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion would be published later that year But Dawkins’ full throttle assault against theism and his case for atheism were already before the public consciousness Dawkins’ two-part documentary on behalf of atheism had just been released January of 2006 all under the umbrella of The Root of All Evil (Note that I found the first of these parts especially useful in courses I taught on apologetics): Michael wanted nothing to do with the harsh atheism of Dawkins and his fellow horsemen of the atheistic apocalypse as they also came to be called (Christopher Hitchens of God Is Not Great it would be inaccurate to characterize Ruse as trying to reconcile science and religion except in a way that shortchanged religion In his book Can a Darwinian Be a Christian? (Cambridge Even the supreme miracle of the resurrection requires no law-breaking return from the dead or more likely that he really was physically dead but that on and from the third day a group of people That a psychologist or sociologist might be able to explain all of this by natural laws is totally irrelevant — something of a relief What counts is that it happened and that it was unexpected and that it mattered It is from this regeneration of spirit that true Christianity stems not from some law-defying physiological reversals in the early hours of a Sunday morning Any but the least traditional Christians would find this dismissal of a real bodily resurrection of Jesus as unacceptable and irreconcilable with Christian orthodoxy even if the resurrection of Jesus could not be grounded factually whose childhood experiences with Christianity were quite negative Michael came from a Quaker background that he regarded as positive and which I sensed he still at some level wanted to be true.  Ruse has engaged in heated exchanges with new atheists the pusillanimous appeaser of Hitler at Munich Jerry Coyne reviewed one of my books (Can a Darwinian be a Christian?) using the Orwellian quote that only an intellectual could believe the nonsense I believe in Myers has referred to me as a ‘clueless gobshite.’” Ruse said new atheists do the side of science a “grave disservice,” a “disservice to scholarship,” and that “Dawkins in The God Delusion would fail any introductory philosophy or religion course,” and that The God Delusion makes him “ashamed to be an atheist.” Ruse concluded saying “I am proud to be the focus of the invective of the new atheists let’s finally get to the funniest incident I recall with Michael a heaven of eternal bliss compatible with theism and incompatible with atheism Here is how Michael described heaven: “I would love for heaven to be real Heaven for me would be a new Mozart opera every night and fish-and-chips during intermission.” Funny at our podcast interview together with Subboor Ahmad in early 2024 Michael was going to a Mozart opera that night He wasn’t going to miss it even though he was breathing oxygen through a nasal cannula during the interview and would need the additional oxygen that night at the opera I found Michael’s vision of heaven amusing but perhaps closer to truth than he might have imagined. In Catholic priest Thomas Dubay’s The Evidential Power of Beauty (a book I used in some of my graduate seminars on theology and science) Dubay also sings the praises of Mozart as a window into the divine While it may be hard to imagine that any activity could be continued for all eternity without engendering boredom the appreciation of beauty—a never ending progression of ever increasing visions of beauty—seems immune to the boredom problem Michael therefore also made a profound point The incident with Michael that made the greatest impression on me and which showed me the depth and kindness of his humanity occurred at the University of Central Arkansas in the fall of 2003 It was a symposium featuring the two of us But we also had lots of interactions with students especially students from the honors college about thirty honors students were seated at tables in a plush hall Michael went to each student individually and shook hands asking with genuine interest about each of them Another incident that stood out to me from the symposium at the University of Central Arkansas was when Michael seated in conversation with faculty and students I don’t recall what prompted Michael to remove his upper-body clothing but it wasn’t gratuitous and the students loved it It seems that Michael had a penchant for showing off his chest and about twenty others (including evolutionists such as David Hull and Richard Dawkins) sending us several images of himself getting and showing off a newly minted tattoo I vaguely recall that Michael may have lost or won bet or somehow had been challenged by his students to get a tattoo of something evolutionarily significant He chose a classic organism from the Cambrian the trilobite (one of the first arthropods Here are the images of Michael getting his trilobite tattoo showing the ordeal that it was (as evident in the pain on his face) as well as his satisfaction once the ordeal was over As Michael put it in the email alerting us to his new tattoo: “I now expect my intelligent design friends to have Jesus tattooed on their right arms.” As it is I never felt obligated to meet that expectation But I was happy for Michael in the pleasure he took in his tattoo: If some of my remembrances of Michael seem frivolous he was also a serious defender of academic freedom and expression he and I were trying to complete one more project on the controversy between Darwinism and intelligent design I sensed that this might be his swan song—his usual energy on past projects was not there and it largely fell to me to try to pull this project together for this project we needed to enlist several Darwinists I expected with Michael’s extensive rolodex in that world that enlisting the needed Darwinists would be easy I don’t mean to be cagey about this project but it still has a chance of coming to light and I hope it does for my sake and Michael’s as indeed a fitting swan song for all his efforts to promote freedom of thought and expression on the questions that most animated him I won’t at this moment be divulging information about the precise details of this project I will share an exchange that Michael had with a prominent Darwinian biologist in trying to enlist this biologist to our project.  I no longer feel the need to keep this exchange secret I won’t disclose the identity of the biologist in question my point is to underscore how freedom of thought and expression in the academy are regularly suppressed and that it takes the courage of a Michael Ruse to stand against such suppression Here’s how the biologist in question responded to a request to contribute to our project In the interest of keeping the precise nature of the project as well as the biologist in question confidential clearly marked with brackets and ellipses: =====Begin email from biologist to Michael [Your assistant] wrote me to ask for a contribution to what he said was a project planned by you and William Dembski… I was curious about the scope of this project so I wrote to inquire to a set of people who were involved in the Dover trial.  These included [omit names of seven prominent opponents of intelligent design].  [All these] who participated in the trial … were dismayed They individually expressed a range of reasons why this would be a terrible idea either scientifically (there never was) or polemically with respect to ID in the past 20 years — The original proponents of ID have mostly either scattered to the winds or have labored in quasi-academic obscurity.  (I will not characterize Dembski’s abstract mathematical work of the past decades other than to offer the view that they have nothing to say about evolution or science.)  There still has never been a peer-reviewed scientific publication by an ID proponent.  No one could think of “new” issues or aspects of ID that have emerged.  What is the definition of a dead horse — We live in a far greater era of disinformation and fakery than we lived in 20 years ago.  If ID was a “Trojan horse” and a construct of smoke and mirrors then how much easier will it be to gull a substantial portion of the populace now?  How will this help the cause of science and science education – or even if you want to assume your philosopher’s mantle the cause of explaining legitimate philosophy conservative Christians are determined to relitigate the ID battle.  They are using the same tactics of bringing in persuasive lawyers and launching advertising campaigns to voters.  They are also assaulting textbooks.  Ken Miller’s biology text was criticized in Texas for chapters that dealt with Covid-19 (which was alleged by critics not to be a disease) and the absence of a balanced treatment of ID with evolution.  How will your planned publication help with this apart from helping the ID proponents claim that scientists are taking them seriously — One of our colleagues remarked: “since 2004 when Debating Design: From Darwin to DNA first appeared Dembski has repeatedly evinced inappropriate behavior — failing to address pertinent criticism — that should make anyone leery about participating in an ostensibly scholarly enterprise with him After twenty years (or more) of not playing nicely with others he can hardly expect eager cooperation at this stage.”  As another pointed out your past collaborations with Dembski have allowed him to pose as a mainstream academic which some regard as a debatable claim.  Setting aside any abstract mathematical contributions he has no relevance to any inquiry about evolution or science in general — The Discovery Institute and its friends would like nothing better than the academic legitimacy that you would collude with in … this pseudo-debate.  This may not matter to you because you may feel that open discussion is of general interest to the public and salutary to its understanding of issues central to human endeavor.  If so that view seems short-sighted.  We who sacrificed years of effort to explain and ultimately counter the pretensions of ID as science which was instantiated in Judge Jones’s 142-page decision in which not a single sentence validated any of the arguments of the ID proponents will not thank you for giving comfort to these opponents of science and rational thought even as their legal and administrative minions redouble their efforts to overturn everything that we accomplished if for no other reason than for the sake of respect for your colleagues who sacrificed a great deal – professionally Here is how Michael responded. Note that Michael was a key expert witness in the 1981 Arkansas creation trial (McLean v. Arkansas Board of Education) which he cites at the end of his email below and notes that it incurred for him also a professional cost The Dover trial mentioned above was decided in 2005.  =====Begin response from Michael to biologist Goodness – I don’t think I have ever been solicited/begged by a letter such as yours – I am not a sociologist so I cannot report on the fate of IDT today – new conceptual changes number of enthusiasts and so forth – what I can say is that a year ago I flew to Krakow in Poland to debate Michael Behe – there were about three hundred in the audience – at least half of whom were either priests or nuns – I estimate there were about five in the audience who agreed with me!  I didn’t take offence – nothing personal – philosophers don’t take offence at different conceptual issues – I am not a Thomist but I have deep respect for St Thomas as a theologian/philosopher                   I guess that is why I am not inclined to accede to your earnest pleading – if I were a scientist it would be one thing – but I am a philosopher and I think it is a moral obligation to take on Dembski and the ideas he endorses/promotes – there are important issues here about the science-religion relationship and it is legitimate for a science to admit to the influence of religion – Dawkins would obviously say “no” – I am not at all sure that Dobzhansky or Fisher would agree – our [project has yet to be completed] but if I were still teaching – I am 84 and now retired after 55 years in the classroom (in the job beyond my dreams) – I would use it as the focus of a graduate seminar on the science and religion interface —  more than teaching it And that I guess is why you are glad not to be a philosopher and why I could never be other than a philosopher I am a little offended that the contributions of others are considered pertinent whereas my contributions (and costs) go unmentioned – if you look at the volume I published after Arkansas – But Is It Science – just see what my fellow philosophers like Larry Laudan said about me — obviously they did not deter me then and they do not deter me now =====End response from Michael to biologist This exchange, of course, raises many questions about the legitimacy of intelligent design as a coherent intellectual and scientific position. Addressing such questions is for another day and time — I would urge readers with such questions to start by consulting the second edition of The Design inference But let me close this remembrance with the following thought: If intelligent design is a legitimate how could we ever know that if it is suppressed in the way that this biologist urged Michael to abandon his project with me Michael and I differed sharply on the merits and truth of intelligent design But he was a valiant defender of freedom of thought and expression letting inquiry proceed where it will and following evidence to its ultimate destination—however distasteful that might be.  Cross-posted from Bill Dembski at Substack Israel Kasnett 2 min readA carefully orchestrated manoeuvre within the Palestinian Authority on Saturday saw the appointment of Hussein al-Sheikh as “Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Vice President of the State of Palestine.” presented as a significant step toward transition is in reality a calculated ruse by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas to project an image of reform to the international community particularly Western governments and donors It is a superficial reshuffling of loyalists that entrenches Abbas’s control sidesteps genuine democratic processes and maintains the status quo of his autocratic rule a senior distinguished fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a fellow of the Jerusalem Centre for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA) said al-Sheikh’s appointment is nothing short of “musical chairs” and should not be taken seriously “Why do we assume that this is a new school of thought This is someone from the young guard representing the old guard,” he said “The West is again falling for the same mistakes they made in the past,” he added was framed as a formal elevation to the number two position in the PA leadership hierarchy this was not a competitive or democratic process and was swiftly approved by the 16-member PLO Executive Committee which is stacked with Abbas loyalists and which he himself chairs al-Sheikh’s appointment was hardly surprising He has long been regarded as Abbas’s unofficial deputy wielding significant influence as a key negotiator with Israel and a gatekeeper of PA patronage networks His formal elevation offers no substantive change in policy 89 years old and in the 20th year of a four-year presidential term faces mounting pressure at home and abroad Palestinians are increasingly disillusioned with the PA’s corruption ineffectiveness and lack of democratic legitimacy particularly the United States and European Union which provide critical financial support to the PA have urged reforms and a clear succession plan to ensure stability in the post-Abbas era Al-Sheikh is not a reformist or an independent figure; he is one of Abbas’s closest allies deeply embedded in the PA’s patronage system As head of the PLO’s General Authority for Civil Affairs al-Sheikh has been a key interlocutor with Israel on security coordination and a central figure in distributing PA resources His elevation rewards loyalty rather than competence or public support signalling that the PA’s priorities remain self-preservation and control al-Sheikh’s new title is superficial as Abbas retains ultimate authority as PA president and PLO chairman Al-Sheikh’s role is subordinate and ceremonial unless Abbas chooses to delegate power – an unlikely prospect given his history of centralizing control The PA leadership remains a closed circle of loyalists recycled through various titles Al-Sheikh’s elevation is merely the latest iteration following a pattern whereby Abbas appoints trusted allies to prominent roles but then distances them This tactic allows Abbas to maintain control while creating the illusion of change a strategy he has employed for decades to deflect criticism and sustain international support The appointment was designed to assuage Western concerns about reform and succession Abbas is pretending to signal that the PA is preparing for a post-Abbas era Al-Sheikh is a familiar and acceptable figure to the United States and European Union making him a convenient choice to project continuity this is a facade: the appointment changes nothing about the PA’s anti-Israel policies the West should see through this charade and demand real change such as elections it appears Western governments are once again falling for the Palestinians’ ruse Palestinian Authority Following reports of racism at James Ruse Agricultural a look at how digital prejudice fuels real-world hate against Indians it is likely that this alarming issue would have been swept under the rug it is perplexing that this prejudice is not only perpetrated by far-right or traditionally “racist” groups but also by individuals who position themselves as political progressives and “allies” to the Indian community A post shared by Mehreen Faruqi (@mehreenfaruqi) The vilification of migrants and their descendants is, unfortunately, not a new phenomenon in the Western world. Some might even argue that it has become an ingrained tradition and discrimination targeting people of South Asian heritage has taken on a more insidious tone It has become an acceptable form of social “othering” in many digital and a food vendor who gained internet infamy after footage of unsanitary food preparation emerged Several residents urged him to adopt better hygiene practices aiming to improve the image of their city and these local efforts to address such issues rarely make headlines in the West owing much of its success to innovative public space projects and environmental health initiatives grassroots commitment to tackling pollution and improving hygiene standards in India—efforts that rarely make it to the front pages of Western news outlets The persistence of the stereotype that Indians and other South Asians are inherently dirty and unhygienic has led to a wave of racism that is both harmful and dangerous This vilification is rooted in the perception of Indians as “less than” others of their communities and countries as synonymous with filth and pollution The ramifications of such a narrative are profound one that has been used in history to demonise and dehumanise entire populations While the recent incidents at James Ruse Agricultural High School may seem far removed from the busy streets of Kolkata or the green spaces of Bhopal the underlying prejudice that fuels these acts of hate is directly tied to how India is portrayed in digital spaces and the media These harmful stereotypes are not born in a vacuum They are amplified by digital platforms where sensationalism As influencers chase followers and internet fame the real-world consequences of these actions go largely unacknowledged The students who endure the consequences of this prejudice their suffering often silenced by a system that chooses to ignore their pain The culture of racism that permeates online spaces is a reflection of broader societal attitudes and it is incumbent upon all of us—particularly those in positions of influence—to challenge these stereotypes and engage in a more nuanced empathetic conversation about race and identity READ MORE: ECCV report finds majority of racism incidents go unreported Indian Link empowers and elevates the South Asian community in Australia, by telling their stories and unpacking their experiences in a nuanced and unbiased manner. © Indian Link Media Group.

Proudly part of Cipher Sports Technology Group One of the top-performing high schools in the country will get a new principal almost a year after it lost its No.1 spot on the HSC league tables North Sydney Boys deputy principal Matthew Dopierala will take up the principal position at rival selective school James Ruse Agricultural High School which last year ended its 27-year reign as the best-ranked school James Ruse Agricultural High was No.1 in the HSC league tables for 27 years but lost the top spot in 2023.Credit: Fairfax Media Students and teachers at both schools were told the leadership news in a co-ordinated announcement at 9am on Wednesday “Mr Dopierala has served the North Sydney Boys High School community as deputy principal for many years and made an enormous contribution,” principal Brian Ferguson said Prestigious selective school principalships have been somewhat of a game of musical chairs recently: current James Ruse principal Rachel Powell will take over at Sydney Girls after its outgoing head retired after more than a decade leading the school North Sydney Boys principal Robyn Hughes retired at the end of 2022 and was replaced by Ferguson who had previously been at Penrith Selective High School Powell has previously said her legacy at James Ruse included expanding the co-curricular program Outgoing James Ruse High School principal Rachel Powell is leaving at the end of the year to go to Sydney Girls High.Credit: James Brickwood The Department of Education declined the Herald’s request on Wednesday to interview Dopierala about his background and plans for leading the school which analysts describe as a flagship for public education in NSW Former James Ruse students take a keen interest and pride in their alma mater its detailed Wikipedia page had already been updated with Dopierala’s name as the ninth principal said it had been difficult for students to see the school lose its No.1 spot last year “I was a bit disappointed – there is always a bit of pride A lot of people were a bit shocked,” he said Chen said making sure students were stretched academically was one of the most important elements for James Ruse they’re often much brighter and they have different needs,” he said “Leadership is always important because it drives the general direction But I think the magic of James Ruse comes down to the students and their determination I think the No.1 thing the school should be doing is creating an environment to allow each student to reach their potential.” Dopierala has taught engineering in the past and also worked at inner west selective school Fort Street who graduated from North Sydney Boys last year well spoken and supportive of the student voice as a deputy principal “I wish him all the best in his exciting and challenging new role and we are all interested to see what this brings to the latest chapter of friendly rivalry between NSBHS and James Ruse,” he said \\u201CMr Dopierala has served the

But as the rise of artificial intelligence creates ever bigger energy demands it’s getting hard for the industry to hide the true costs of the data centers powering the tech revolution Amazon is the largest emitter of the big five tech companies by a mile – the emissions of the second-largest emitter Amazon has been kept out of the calculation above because its differing business model makes it difficult to isolate data center-specific emissions figures for the company “It’s down to creative accounting,” explained a representative from Amazon Employees for Climate Justice an advocacy group composed of current Amazon employees who are dissatisfied with their employer’s action on climate “Amazon – despite all the PR and propaganda that you’re seeing about their solar farms about their electric vans – is expanding its fossil fuel use whether it’s in data centers or whether it’s in diesel trucks.” The most important tools in this “creative accounting” when it comes to data centers are renewable energy certificates These are certificates that a company purchases to show it is buying renewable energy-generated electricity to match a portion of its electricity consumption – the catch is that the renewable energy in question doesn’t need to be consumed by a company’s facilities the site of production can be anywhere from one town over to an ocean away Recs are used to calculate “market-based” emissions or the official emissions figures used by the firms When Recs and offsets are left out of the equation we get “location-based emissions” – the actual emissions generated from the area where the data is being processed the sum of their “location-based” emissions in 2022 would rank them as the 33rd highest-emitting country Many data center industry experts also recognize that location-based metrics are more honest than the official “Location-based [accounting] gives an accurate picture of the emissions associated with the energy that’s actually being consumed to run the data center. And Uptime’s view is that it’s the right metric,” said Jay Dietrich, the research director of sustainability at Uptime Institute a leading data center advisory and research organization Nevertheless, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, a carbon accounting oversight body, allows Recs to be used in official reporting, though the extent to which they should be allowed remains controversial between tech companies and has led to a lobbying battle over GHG Protocol’s rule-making process between two factions On one side there is the Emissions First Partnership, spearheaded by Amazon and Meta It aims to keep Recs in the accounting process regardless of their geographic origins this is only a slightly looser interpretation of what GHG Protocol already permits argues that there needs to be time-based and location-based matching of renewable production and energy consumption for data centers or its goal to have all of its facilities run on renewable energy 24 hours a day or its goal to have all its facilities running on 100% carbon-free energy 100% of the time making zero carbon-based energy purchases by 2030 Google has already phased out its Rec use and Microsoft aims to do the same with low-quality “unbundled” (non location-specific) Recs by 2030 Yet this is precisely what can happen under the guidance given the contractual/Rec-based reporting method.” To GHG Protocol’s credit, the organization does ask companies to report location-based figures alongside their Rec-based figures no company includes both location-based and market-based metrics for all three subcategories of emissions in the bodies of their annual environmental reports location-based numbers are only directly reported (that is not hidden in third-party assurance statements or in footnotes) by two companies – Google and Meta And those two firms only include those figures for one subtype of emissions: scope 2 or the indirect emissions companies cause by purchasing energy from utilities and large-scale generators Scope 2 is the category that includes the majority of the emissions that come from in-house data center operations as it concerns the emissions associated with purchased energy – mainly Data centers should also make up a majority of overall scope 2 emissions for each company except Amazon given that the other sources of scope 2 emissions for these companies stem from the electricity consumed by firms’ offices and retail spaces – operations that are relatively small and not carbon-intensive Amazon has one other carbon-intensive business vertical to account for in its scope 2 emissions: its warehouses and e-commerce logistics For the firms that give data center-specific data – Meta and Microsoft – this holds true: data centers made up 100% of Meta’s market-based (official) scope 2 emissions and 97.4% of its location-based emissions The huge differences in location-based and official scope 2 emissions numbers showcase just how carbon intensive data centers really are and how deceptive firms’ official emissions numbers can be reports its official scope 2 emissions for 2022 as 273 metric tons CO2 equivalent – all of that attributable to data centers Under the location-based accounting system that number jumps to more than 3.8m metric tons of CO2 equivalent for data centers alone – a more than 19,000 times increase A similar result can be seen with Microsoft The firm reported its official data center-related emissions for 2022 as 280,782 metric tons CO2 equivalent that number jumps to 6.1m metric tons CO2 equivalent While Meta’s reporting gap is more egregious both firms’ location-based emissions are higher because they undercount their data center emissions specifically with 97.4% of the gap between Meta’s location-based and official scope 2 number in 2022 being unreported data center-related emissions Specific data center-related emissions numbers aren’t available for the rest of the firms. However, given that Google and Apple have similar scope 2 business models to Meta and Microsoft it is likely that the multiple on how much higher their location-based data center emissions are would be similar to the multiple on how much higher their overall location-based scope 2 emissions are the sum of location-based emissions in this category between 2020 and 2022 was at least 275% higher (or 3.75 times) than the sum of their official figures Amazon did not provide the Guardian with location-based scope 2 figures for 2020 and 2021 so its official (and probably much lower) numbers were used for this calculation for those years Big tech companies also rent a large portion of their data center capacity from third-party data center operators (or “colocation” data centers). According to the Synergy Research Group large tech companies (or “hyperscalers”) represented 37% of worldwide data center capacity in 2022 with half of that capacity coming through third-party contracts While this group includes companies other than Google it gives an idea of the extent of these firms’ activities with third-party data centers Those emissions should theoretically fall under scope 3 all emissions a firm is responsible for that can’t be attributed to the fuel or electricity it consumes When it comes to a big tech firm’s operations this would encapsulate everything from the manufacturing processes of the hardware it sells (like the iPhone or Kindle) to the emissions from employees’ cars during their commutes to the office scope 3 emissions include the carbon emitted from the construction of in-house data centers as well as the carbon emitted during the manufacturing process of the equipment used inside those in-house data centers It may also include those emissions as well as the electricity-related emissions of third-party data centers that are partnered with whether or not these emissions are fully included in reports is almost impossible to prove “Scope 3 emissions are hugely uncertain,” said Dietrich “This area is a mess just in terms of accounting.” some third-party data center operators put their energy-related emissions in their own scope 2 reporting so those who rent from them can put those emissions into their scope 3 Other third-party data center operators put energy-related emissions into their scope 3 emissions expecting their tenants to report those emissions in their own scope 2 reporting all firms use market-based metrics for these scope 3 numbers which means third-party data center emissions are also undercounted in official figures Of the firms that report their location-based scope 3 emissions in the footnotes only Apple has a large gap between its official scope 3 figure and its location-based scope 3 figure This is the only sizable reporting gap for a firm that is not data center-related – the majority of Apple’s scope 3 gap is due to Recs being applied towards emissions associated with the manufacturing of hardware (such as the iPhone) Apple does not include transmission and distribution losses or third-party cloud contracts in its location-based scope 3 It only includes those figures in its market-based numbers under which its third party cloud contracts report zero emissions (offset by Recs) Therefore in both of Apple’s total emissions figures – location-based and market-based – the actual emissions associated with their third party data center contracts are nowhere to be found.” Even though big tech hides these emissions, they are due to keep rising. Data centers’ electricity demand is projected to double by 2030 due to the additional load that artificial intelligence poses, according to the Electric Power Research Institute Google and Microsoft both blamed AI for their recent upticks in market-based emissions “The relative contribution of AI computing loads to Google’s data centers current CEO of utility storage firm Gridstor and former site lead for Google’s data center energy strategy unit [AI] was not the main thing that we were worried about Taylor explained that most of the growth that he saw in data centers while at Google was attributable to growth in Google Cloud as most enterprises were moving their IT tasks to the firm’s cloud servers Whether today’s power grids can withstand the growing energy demands of AI is uncertain. One industry leader – Marc Ganzi, the CEO of DigitalBridge, a private equity firm that owns two of the world’s largest third-party data center operators – has gone as far as to say that the data center sector may run out of power within the next two years And as grid interconnection backlogs continue to pile up worldwide, it may be nearly impossible for even the most well intentioned of companies to get new renewable energy production capacity online in time to meet that demand. This article was amended on 18 September 2024. Apple contacted the Guardian after publication to share that the firm only did partial audits for its location-based scope 3 figure. A previous version of this article erroneously claimed that the gap in Apple’s location-based scope 3 figure was data center-related. 12 Apr 2025 14:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa won 2–1 over Dunav Ruse on Sat This is 31 of the Second Professional League Predicted lineups are available for the match a few days in advance while the actual lineup will be available about an hour ahead of the match The current head to head record for the teams are Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa 1 win(s) Haven't scored in their last 2 matches Have scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches Dunav Ruse have won the previous 4 matches against Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa Who won between Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa and Dunav Ruse on Sat 12 Apr 2025 14:00:00 GMT?Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa won 2–1 over Dunav Ruse on Sat 12 Apr 2025 14:00:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa is playing home against Dunav Ruse on Sat by Olivia Cleal | November 12 Students from one of NSW’s top selective state schools have been accused of using derogatory language targeted at other students and parents from different cultural backgrounds who recently ended her tenure as principal of James Ruse Agricultural High addressed a P&C meeting last week to address allegations of racism in the school James Ruse is considered one of the most prestigious state schools in NSW: located in the north-western Sydney suburb Carlingford the high school was the top performer in HSC results for 27 consecutive years before North Sydney Boys High School topped the state last year Speaking to parents in her final week as principal last week – as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald – Powell revealed incidents of targeted racism at South Asian students in the school “Words have been used particularly targeting students of South Asian heritage words that refer to the colour of their skin words that associate them with particular animals which I hope you will know what that word is and calling them slaves – that is absolutely intolerable,” Powell told parents at the meeting the N-word is not just being used now towards people It’s actually being used as an expletive.” Powell said students are learning this behaviour online and it is up to parents to educate and stamp it out students at James Ruse have reportedly told Powell that some parents in the school have forbidden their children to be social with other students in the school “Students have told me that their parents won’t let them go to their friend’s houses because they’re from a different community background,” Powell told the parents at the meeting It’s not just students that are victims of racism within the school community Powell said there have been reports of parents “targeted” with threats of physical parents have been “frightened to volunteer at events and in the canteen” In a statement provided to The Sydney Morning Herald a spokesperson from the Department of Education said there was just one incident of racist language recorded by the school in the last year and action has been taken to provide counsel to the students involved In response to the threats targeted at parents the spokesperson said they were not referred to police as there were only rumours of these incidents “James Ruse Agricultural High School does not tolerate racism and promotes a culture of inclusion at the school,” the spokesperson told The Sydney Morning Herald “All our students are taught the importance of social justice and the need to behave with integrity.” Every day, one in five Australian school students are victims of racism It’s even worse in the United States: according to government statistics one in three high school students say they have experienced racism in school at some point in their life Some believe it will only get worse, now that Donald Trump – who has been explicit in his contempt of immigrants and non-white people – has been elected as the next president of the US spoke about a conversation she had with her friend She pleaded her son’s teacher to “keep your ears open in the hallways” This is heartbreaking.

The former head of the state’s top selective school has laid bare the extent of racial discord within the highly competitive institution in a speech to parents saying students of South Asian descent were referred to by the N-word and called “slaves” while other parents have been threatened with violence Rachel Powell lambasted the school community over students’ use of overtly racist language and parents who forbid their children from socialising with students from other backgrounds outside of school Former James Ruse principal Rachel Powell stressed that racist incidents among students could usually be easily resolved but said she was “shocked” by the behaviour of parents.Credit: Jessica Hromas and calling them slaves – that is absolutely intolerable,” Powell said at her last P&C meeting at the school Despite Powell telling parents racist language was increasing an Education Department spokeswoman said there had been one incident of racist language recorded by the school in the past year and those students had been counselled It’s actually being used as an expletive,” Powell told parents So it’s our job as adults to educate them.” Powell stressed that racist incidents among students could usually be easily resolved but said she was “shocked” by the behaviour of parents Former James Ruse High School principal Rachel Powell “I’ve heard from some people that they have felt excluded at this school I’ve even heard that from prospective parents prospective parents said to me ‘these particular social media groups we can’t engage in them because they’re in a different language to the one we understand’.” Powell did not name the ethnic background or the language used by parents accused of excluding others but said she had previously been told that the school’s president “had to be from the Chinese community” “Students have told me that their parents won’t let them go to their friend’s houses because they’re from a different community background.” The speech was sparked by a series of concerning incidents at the school and a backlash to some emails sent to parents which encouraged them to communicate school information in English so everyone felt included Powell, who took up a new post as Sydney Girls High principal on Monday, told the meeting of parents that she had been reticent to go into details of racism in the emails because “The Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph would have a field day if they found out about anything negative […] they would love to report on that” Powell said she had since learnt of more concerning behaviour from parents “People have been targeting some of our parents She said that included threats of physical violence while some parents had been “frightened to volunteer at events and in the canteen” During a recent state byelection event organised by the school it was “pretty obvious that people didn’t come in because they were frightened to attend because there have been threats of protests and violence” a department spokeswoman said the threats were not referred to police as they were rumours only The spokeswoman said Powell had spoken at the P and C meeting to dispel rumours that were circulating around the parent community Powell said in her time as principal she was proud to lead a school that promoted inclusion and did not tolerate racism “On the small number of occasions where an incident occurred we responded immediately and with the full support of parents and students,” she said I reinforced our school’s commitment to the department’s new anti-racism strategy and received an outpouring of support from the parent community.” Incoming principal Matthew Dopierala is expected to have to address the racism and parent issues at the school which is referred to as the “jewel in the crown” of public education in NSW The school had been the top performer in the state when it came to HSC results for 27 years in a row until last year when it was bumped from pole

self-assertiveness has found its way into the pronouncements of many African countries While the underlying mood most certainly dates back to the period before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 that it has been boosted by the global diplomatic fallout of the conflict Hitherto subtly indignant at their perceived disregard by the major powers these countries welcomed the breach that opened up in the wake of Western attempts to forge a common front against Russia as an opportunity to ventilate long-simmering grievances Judging by signals across the Sahel, the renewed clamor for “sovereignty” seems all-encompassing. For instance, Mali’s decision last year to drop French the so-called “language of the colonizer,” as its official language (a status it had enjoyed since the country’s independence in September 1960) and replace it with “thirteen national languages” seems to have been motivated by this newfangled desire for “autonomy,” although this time in the realm of language A summary of global news developments with CFR analysis delivered to your inbox each morning. Weekdays CFR President Mike Froman analyzes the most important foreign policy story of the week get the latest news and insights from the Council’s experts examining the debates and efforts to improve health worldwide. Weekly Indeed, if Burkina Faso’s junta leader Ibrahim Traore has his way, the region’s CFA franc currency, which he sees as the prime illustration of “monetary imperialism,” will be on the next consignment to the anti-colonial landfill.

The fact that, in recent times, Paris has “increased aid to the continent begun the return of cultural artefacts stolen during the colonial wars and reached out beyond the usual inter-government ties to engage younger generations and civil society” indicates its sudden realization that having found itself on the back foot in the region the sovereignty rhetoric raises more questions than answers the underlying implication that these countries were never “sovereign,” meaning that any awareness on their part of their agency is only due somehow to a recent epiphany it seems to contradict the historical data on the dynamics of the interaction between France and its former (African) colonies whereby a succession of (military and civilian) leaders sometimes had to act under direct pressure from Paris; and yet were all too happy to manipulate the latter to take sides in often-bitter contestations with domestic political rivals and the suggestion that France more or less had its way over their helpless protestations does not seem to stand up to scrutiny One finds it difficult to believe that France would have maintained military bases in various African countries for so long if these countries simultaneously had no (defense and political) use for them France could have stood its ground had any of the countries with which it had entered into military agreements insisted that it evacuate it is odd indeed that the same countries now vigorously asserting their “sovereignty” do not seem to mind signing with Russia and China agreements that are hardly different from the “colonial” treaties that they now accuse France of foisting upon them If the problem is being under the suzerainty of a foreign power and the solution is breaking free with the aim of attaining “full decolonization,” why trade French “imperialism” for its Russian or Chinese equivalent how can countries which continue to be dependent on foreign development aid (for example nearly half of the Nigerien government’s budget is said to derive from various foreign donors) posture about sovereignty what is sovereignty if you cannot afford to pay your own bills and how can you insist on holding your head high while holding your hand out it is not insignificant that some of the most ardent avowers of “full sovereignty” for Africa are certified despots who are increasingly denying common freedoms detaining without trial opposition journalists and activists who dare to speak out about rising insecurity and inflation or dare challenge the various juntas for a credible program of return to civilian rule there are strong grounds to suspect that the clamor for “sovereignty” that we are seeing is less about a true quest for African self-determination and more about creating political distraction for purposes of regime consolidation Now, there is a serious debate to be had about sovereignty, particularly about how to challenge prevailing narratives on self-determination in a Eurocentric world order, a subject on which, incidentally, many African scholars, notably Cornell political scientist and international relations theorist Siba Grovogui unimaginative “Pan-Africanism,” has nothing of the nuance and deliberateness of this scholarship like a desperate gambit to hoard power while distracting attention from core issues of democratic reform Nathan Schoonover contributed to the research for this article Madison Keys edged out Elena-Gabriela Ruse 7-6 (1) She’ll play fellow American Danielle Collins American Madison Keys, the No 19 seed, edged out Romanian qualifier Elena-Gabriela Ruse 7-6 (1), 2-6, 7-5 to move into the third round of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park will play the winner of the match between Australian qualifier Destanee Aiava and American Danielle Collins 7-5) in the previous round of the first Grand Slam tournament of the 2025 season In the previous round of the first Grand Slam tournament of the 2025 season other second-round results (Melbourne Park Website#d90d178da108e4d803546d2f{display:none} Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify Also on the daily podcast: how to plan a prisoner release and apologising at work A handpicked article read aloud from the latest issue of The Economist Our weekly podcast on democracy in America.

The principal at James Ruse Agricultural High will leave the selective school at the end of the year to take on the top job at Sydney Girls High, promising parents she will make it \\u201Cthe leading school for girls\\u2019 education in Australia\\u201D. Rachel Powell will become the 12th principal at Sydney Girls\\u2019 in its 140-year history after its outgoing veteran head, Andrea Connell, retired after more than a decade leading the school. In a letter to Sydney Girls parents this week, Powell said she would spend her first weeks at the Moore Park school meeting with students, teachers, parents and citizens association and the alumni network. \\u201CI [will] aim to familiarise myself with the school community and find out what we do well and what we can improve,\\u201D she wrote. \\u201CI am committed to ensuring that our school becomes the leading school for girls\\u2019 education.\\u201D Sydney Girls, the oldest selective girls school in Australia, was the for students vying to enter the selective system in 2025, with about 780 students placing it as their first preference. The school placed 20th on the Herald\\u2019s top HSC schools list last year, sliding from sixth in 2019, behind high-fee all-girls private schools Ascham and Pymble Ladies College. Powell, who has served as principal at James Ruse since 2019 and taught exclusively in selective schools for more than two decades, told the Herald the public selective system gives gifted pupils the chance to learn with \\u201Csimilarly minded students and specialist teachers\\u201D. \\u201CHowever, I do believe it is important that families have school choice and can find the best fit for their child,\\u201D she said. \\u201CThe public education system offers a choice of selective, non-selective, co-educational and single-sex schooling and that\\u2019s something to be proud of.\\u201D Last year, the NSW government announced it would merge several single-sex public high schools to become co-ed, including Randwick Girls and Boys. The move generated significant backlash from Randwick Girls students, with some arguing it reduced parent choice and are campaigning to reverse the decision. Powell said while leading James Ruse \\u2013 a school long dubbed as the \\u201Cgenius factory\\u201D \\u2013 she expanded the co-curricular program, tour programs and parent open days. James Ruse\\u2019s 27-year run as the top-ranked school on the HSC leaderboard ended last year when North Sydney Boys claimed the number one place for the first time. Powell has previously said there was a \\u201Cstereotype that Ruse is an ATAR factory\\u201D, and worked to lift the at the Carlingford school. \\u201CIt would be hard to find a school that matches our co-curricular and competition program which encourages students to develop their passions as well as gives them opportunities for leadership growth,\\u201D she said. Outgoing Sydney Girls head Andrea Connell said as well as academic achievement, the school was known for its debating and performing arts programs. \\u201CPrincipals at Sydney Girls don\\u2019t leave easily,\\u201D said Connell, who followed another long-serving head, Margaret Varady, in the role. \\u201CThe school holds this historic place in Sydney and educates girls from all over the city from diverse families, and diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Through its history the school has had quite a feminist agenda,\\u201D she said. Deputy principal at James Ruse, Melissa Schultz, will be acting principal until a permanent head is appointed.

Collins spoke about how much motivation she drew from the crowd Just helped me concentrate more and challenged me at times "One of the greatest things about being a professional athlete is the people that don't like you and the people that hate you Obviously my professional career is not going to last forever So I just remind myself every day when I have that kind of stuff Every person that's bought a ticket to come out here and heckle me or do what they do it's all going towards the Danielle Collins Fund good luck trying to get under the skin of somebody that really doesn't care." The attitude Collins had displayed with her tennis had been roughly the same over the course of the match the two players saved a total of 10 break points over the first three games -- setting the stage for a big-hitting barnburner in which neither player was afraid to pulverize the ball at the slightest opportunity was on a nine-match winning streak and had drawn attention for both her breakthrough run and her vintage outfits (this time she wore the dress popularized by Maria Sharapova at the 2013 Australian Open) Her 25 winners and ability to find her biggest serves under break-point pressure early on energized the crowd and despite losing the first set on a tiebreak she responded by overpowering Collins in the second But Collins was able to regain some momentum before the match went to a decider she took a medical time-out to receive treatment on her foot Collins saved a break point with a service winner -- and once she'd escaped that game unleashing on return to reel off the last four games of the contest Collins will face compatriot and friend Madison Keys who also had to hold off a determined opponent to progress The No.19 seed scraped past qualifier Elena-Gabriela Ruse 7-6(1) extending her winning streak to seven -- but only just No.125-ranked Ruse is no stranger to an upset She took out Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova at the same stage of the US Open and was bidding for a third career Top 20 win the American needed a tiebreak to close it out She then trailed by a break at 4-3 in the decider before proving too strong in the home stretch "That was not the prettiest tennis and I really had to gut it out," Keys said in her on-court interview I had to keep adjusting what I was trying to do so I had to switch game plan and just try to survive out here." Keys tallied 37 winners to 44 unforced errors the most crucial number in the third set was her second-serve points won: from 40% in the first set and 20% in the second set Both players committed to aggression off the ground and both consequently rode the wave of big winners and wild errors throughout the match But Keys found an extra level when she needed to she won the point of the match with some stellar scrambling eventually nailing a backhand pass past Ruse to reach her second match point The former US Open finalist rattled off eight of the last nine points as Ruse lapsed into a succession of cheap errors and double faults at precisely the wrong time Keys leads the head-to-head with Collins 2-1 Their most recent meeting was in last year's Strasbourg final but they have split their two previous encounters on hard courts No.4 seed Jasmine Paolini closed out the Rod Laver Arena night session with a 6-2 breaking Paolini in the first game with a brilliant all-court exchange and threatening a comeback throughout the second set but the Roland Garros and Wimbledon finalist managed to keep a lid on the match to close it out in 1 hour and 16 minutes Playing her first tournament since the US Open due to undergoing foot surgery former No.3 Elina Svitolina continued to go about her business efficiently Svitolina will next meet Paolini for the first time Former No.9 Veronika Kudermetova returned to the third round of a major for the first time since the 2022 US Open with a seesaw 7-6(3) but saw her lead -- and first three set points -- evaporate as the Briton embarked on a comeback But Kudermetova found powerful winners when she needed them in both the tiebreak and the deciding set She will next face No.15 seed Beatriz Haddad Maia who came from a break down in the second set to defeat Erika Andreeva 6-2 Eva Lys needs to hold on to booking that flight back home for a while now as she advances into the third round, winning 6-2 3-6 6-4 😍👏What a Grand Slam she's been having!@evalys_ • #AusOpen • #AO2025 pic.twitter.com/3YdkwuQunX Two unseeded players hit the milestone of their debut Grand Slam third-round appearance and will now face each other for a spot in the second week No.82-ranked Jaqueline Cristian had lost both of her previous major second rounds and lost in the first round in each of 2024's Grand Slams But the Romanian edged Lucia Bronzetti 7-5 7-5 to break new ground in her ninth main draw who only found out she had a spot in the draw 10 minutes before her first-round match continued to make the best of her second chance coming up with as series of laser-like backhand winners in the home stretch This article features Stats Insider's prediction and tips for the Jacquemot vs Ruse match Based on trusted machine learning and data, Stats Insider has simulated the outcome of Tuesday's Jacquemot-Ruse women's singles match 10,000 times Our proven predictive analytics model currently gives Ruse a 62% chance of defeating Jacquemot at the WTA Rouen tournament The current betting odds in Australia for Tuesday's WTA Rouen match between Jacquemot and Ruse are shown below: TAB currently has Jacquemot at $2.37 and Ruse at $1.57 TAB currently has odds for Jacquemot to win the first set at $2.30 and odds for Ruse to win the first set at $1.61 Today's Elsa Jacquemot vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse betting tips are based on market-leading modelling and betting intelligence to help you place smarter bets with your chosen online bookie our suggested bet of Ruse ($1.90) is based on the chance of that happening Stats Insider provides full betting coverage of the Elsa Jacquemot vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse match at the WTA Rouen tournament so bookmark this article for the latest betting predictions before the Jacquemot-Ruse match at the WTA Rouen tournament As always, see our Best Bets for betting tips for every tennis match The 2025 WTA Rouen match between Elsa Jacquemot and Elena-Gabriela Ruse is scheduled to start at 1:30am AEST All dates and times in this article are in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) Our Elsa Jacquemot vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse predictions are the result of 10,000 data-driven simulations of the game, all curated by our team of experienced data scientists and analysts.

Zheng's focus was evident as she navigated a tight opening few games -- and then went from strength to strength to roll through 11 of the last 12 games of the match The Olympic gold medallist slammed 17 winners saved the only break point she faced and converted all four break points she brought up on the Niemeier serve Niemeier went toe-to-toe with Zheng on the serve and forehand in the early stages and wowed the crowd with a spinning backhand volley early in the second set Australian Open finalist Zheng moves into the second week of a major for the second time in 2024 she will face No.24 seed Donna Vekic in a rematch of the Olympic Games final in Paris a month ago 6-4 to reach the second week of a major for the seventh time overall for the second time in 2024 (following her run to the Wimbledon semifinals) and for the second time at the US Open (following her 2019 quarterfinal showing) Zheng on her improvements since last year's US Open: "I think I read the ball better on court and compared to one year ago I see more what I have to do in different situations I remember the third round against [Lucia Bronzetti] and I have to fight all the way through that because in that match I play really bad "But today the third round I'm really happy about my performance because I feel I'm more powerful but I know better how to control the power when to use the power and when to hold down a bit trying to Badosa saves match point to reach first US Open second week Another of this summer's form players passed the test of an opponent who had given her trouble in the past as Badosa claimed a thrilling victory on Louis Armstrong Stadium The New York-born Spaniard was the Washington champion a month ago and a Cincinnati semifinalist two weeks ago she's completed her set of second-week appearances at each Grand Slam with her seventh fourth-round run overall Badosa's best major showing to date was at Roland Garros 2021 where she reached the quarterfinals; before this week she had never gone past the second round at Flushing Meadows Photos: Paula Badosa and all of 2024's winners from match point down surviving a barrage of power from a redlining Ruse who always seemed to have a comeback up her sleeve The Romanian had defeated Badosa in their only previous meeting 6-3 and was fresh off an upset of No.8 seed and Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova in the previous round Paula Badosa with back-to-back Grand Slam second weeks!She's back 😤 pic.twitter.com/IXDM5JzzxI Ruse edged a first set in which every game but one featured at least one break point she came from an early break down to lead 5-4 broke back to force a tiebreak after Badosa served at 6-5 and once there was inches from pegging Badosa back from 4-0 down The qualifier's raw power was breathtaking in those stretches But the flipside was her inconsistency -- particularly in the face of Badosa's dogged defense The former No.2 repeatedly soaked up strike after strike from Ruse exposing the World No.122's tendency to overpress Ruse oscillated between winners and unforced errors to hand Badosa match point -- which Badosa duly converted with another unreturned serve Badosa will next face No.80-ranked Wang Yafan who upset No.20 seed Victoria Azarenka for her fifth career Top 20 win The 30-year-old reached the third round of a major for the first time at the Australian Open in January and this result means she will make her debut in the second week of a Slam 6-3 in their only previous meeting in the 2019 Seoul quarterfinals so I'm really happy I accepted that moment I think the tiebreak was -- you never know in a tiebreak but I think I handled the emotions and the pressure pretty well "In that moment I looked up and saw the crowd cheering so much for me and pumping me up I think there I was having that connection with them and it gave me so much strength in that moment I'm going to be aggressive.' Because maybe I was struggling a little bit in that moment that I was feeling so much pressure that I needed to win this match and maybe I was the one I had more expectations in this match compared to her and I just focus on each point and playing tennis and just going for it no matter who was on the other side of the net But in that moment I think credit to her because she played really
