The work comprises the transboundary Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) River Basins across Nepal, Bhutan, India, and Bangladesh. Building upon the successes of TROSA Phase 1, this second phase, T2:3R, expands the scope by engaging ten partners who operate at regional, national, and local scales within the GBM basin. The program’s strategic focus is to enable riparian communities to make informed decisions, practice sustainable livelihoods, and foster cooperation at all levels of water governance. SEI’s contributions to T2:3R will focus on co-producing data and insights on resource conditions, delivering practical tools, and building pathways to enhance community resilience. A significant emphasis will be placed on developing tools that mainstream gender equality and social inclusion in managing shared resources. These efforts aim to amplify the roles of women, indigenous people, and youth, ensuring they are included in decision-making processes and water governance dialogues. Overall goal: Improved cooperation in governing shared water resources, strengthening resilience to climate change of riparian communities in thetransboundary Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river basins The programme will contribute to the achievement of the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by working towards: The programme will work directly with communities in selected locations within the transboundary Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river basins, across Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, including in the following sub-basins: In addition to the direct target groups, the programme will engage with other stakeholders, including: Get the latest updates and invitations to your inbox with SEI’s global newsletter.

Criminal records can be a significant barrier to securing housing and employment and pursuing educational opportunities dismissed charges and acquittals are permanent public records that can create a negative impression with employers and licensing boards that makes it more difficult for people to achieve stability and access economic opportunity TROSA resident Samuel Downey of Durham said his criminal record has been a barrier to finding work Being open about his past often didn’t help “I’ve went to jobs and applied and when it gets to the point where it says ‘Do you have a felony?’ I was always put ‘Yes,’” Downey said “There are times when I can explain my way through it and there were times where it was like zero tolerance for a felon.” students attended a series of three work sessions at the Law School where they worked with a supervising attorney to review each of the 25 clients’ cases for expunction eligibility and to prepare necessary petitions Jessica Miller '24 said she looked forward to meeting with the TROSA residents and sharing some good news "It was so rewarding to be able to show the clients their petitions that we had worked to prepare for them and to help them clear their records and get a fresh start!," Miller said. Darity said he was the first in-person client for the student he met with recalling them as “nervous,” but “confident.” Downey said he came away feeling more informed about his options and more hopeful about his future what I needed to know as far as letting me know what I could pursue as far as my criminal record.” 1L Caroline Granitur said working in the clinic is in line with her professional aspirations of doing post-conviction pro bono work "Having this hands-on opportunity to connect with a real person and complete real work to help them expunge past records has allowed my law school experience to go beyond the confines of the classroom and do good for the broader Durham community," she said On hand to supervise students at the clinic were Duke Law Director of Pro Bono D.J. Dore; Jessica Luong T’04 DEAR Supervising Attorney and a former Mecklenburg County assistant public defender; Ali Nininger-Finch DEAR’s Jeremiah Brutus coordinated the clinic Dore pointed to the expunction clinic as both a hands-on learning opportunity for students and a chance for them to see how their work can impact a client’s life “The TROSA expunction clinic provides the perfect example of experiential learning through meaningful pro bono work because it requires our law students to use a wide range of legal skills including statutory analysis and application “But what makes this clinic special is knowing how hard these residents have worked to overcome significant substance use disorders All the clinic’s clients have completed at least 15 months in the program and I witnessed a few emotional moments when a student was able to inform a client about significant expunction relief Allowing our students to play a small part in the residents’ recovery is an extremely meaningful experience.” Darity says he’s looking forward to making a new start with a new foundation adding some words of encouragement for the students: “Believe in yourself.” Visit the Duke Law homepage FOLLOW DUKE LAW On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On Youtube 210 Science Drive | Durham, NC 27708 | 919-613-7006 Get Directions © 2025 Duke University School of Law | Duke Privacy Statement | Accessibility With the help of Duke Health and other leading community organizations Durham-based TROSA (Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers) broke ground on Oct 13 on a comprehensive care center that will consolidate all its health-related services and intake offices under one roof to streamline admissions and care "We are delighted to be partnering with TROSA in the construction of this building," said A Duke University Chancellor for Health Affairs and president and CEO of Duke University Health System "But this is about much more than construction of a new facility Building healthy communities is an important strategic priority for Duke Health and we have identified 'Advancing Health Together' as our mission we're building literally and figuratively -- actual construction and building for the future in terms of the programs that will stem from here." Washington said TROSA exemplifies the type of community partner Duke Health values and that Duke looks forward to seeing its community partnerships grow and prosper The recent evolution of Duke Medicine into Duke Health signaled our intention to adopt more comprehensive approaches to health that extend beyond medical care and into population health improvement. "Having shifted our thinking to overall health we need partners from a cross-section of sectors and stakeholders TROSA serves as an exemplar," Washington said "It has shown the way in terms of how it actually connects with government leaders in business as well as leaders in other sectors in order to actually drive forward improvements in health throughout our community." located on TROSA's main campus on James Street it will include seven medical exam rooms and four medical and clinical offices.

politics) Home » “You have to let go,” says TROSA founder Kevin McDonald as he steps aside When Kevin McDonald woke up the morning after his first round of electroshock therapy He used to drink it every morning – strong with some cream he found himself staring at unfamiliar names and faces And when he drove into the complex of TROSA the Durham organization he founded 26 years ago he couldn’t remember the security guard’s name who served as the President and CEO of TROSA since its inception decided he had a choice to make: hold on to the organization or allow someone more capable to take over In the decades since McDonald started TROSA (the Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers) with $18,000 an abandoned school building and a four-burner stove the organization has helped hundreds of people recover from substance abuse and become a cornerstone of the Durham community TROSA moving vans help Durhamites schlep their stuff to new homes TROSA yard crews keep lawns trim and TROSA cleaning crews prepare Cameron Indoor Stadium before almost every Duke basketball game But after 26 years running the organization McDonald knew he needed to hand over the reins he stepped aside to a role as “founder” as Keith Artin the organization’s longtime chief operating officer “I just knew in my heart of hearts that you have to let go,” McDonald said he appeared on my screen wearing a white button-down shirt that matched his large white beard Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic “I’m drinking Coca-Cola instead of Diet Coke,” he chuckled Because his dad was an officer in the Air Force and developed feelings of shyness and social anxiety His mother was also physically and emotionally abusive where his father served as commander at an air base His anxiety and lack of confidence continued to fester frequenting local bars as a young teenager alcohol had become a major problem in his life his drinking problem became so severe that his dad delivered an ultimatum “My way or the highway,” his father told him in the hope of making it into the Air Force Academy He started carting drugs from Northern California to Los Angeles but wore a short-haired wig during his military training so he’d look clean-cut McDonald didn’t make the Academy and then started snorting heroin Soon he was robbing pharmacies to get drugs he received a sentence of 20 years in prison (A defense lawyer found a way to reduce that to three months.) 32-year-old McDonald headed to Delancey Street a substance recovery program that would become the model for TROSA McDonald began to learn how to care for other people and—even more difficult—to accept other people’s care for himself That started happening too,” he said during an interview with Frank Stasio on “The State of Things.” During his 12 years of working at Delancey North Carolina to help set up a substance recovery facility he met many of the people who would later invite him to set up a similar program in Durham McDonald decided to start one when he moved to Durham He told his wife Sue about his plans during their wedding dance earning large donations from the Chamber of Commerce and support from the community including volunteer work from a Duke fraternity the program helped hundreds of residents recover from substance abuse problems thrift store and moving company have each won readers’ awards from Indy Week Even as the program grew into a big success McDonald kept his eye on the day when he would have to move on “It’s what’s important for the organization and I really believe in that,” he said during his 2015 interview on “The State of Things.” McDonald began experiencing more severe bouts of depression He had more trouble finishing tasks and getting out of bed People who knew him well could tell that he was a little colder who eventually recommended that he undergo electroshock therapy He ended up going through 19 rounds of the therapy before deciding to stop He says the treatment left major gaps in his memory He once had a knack for remembering names and faces what’s your name?” – and he felt terrible about it He used to be able to give speeches from memory McDonald was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s a brain disorder that can lead to physical decline and short-term memory loss McDonald realized that some things in life can’t be overcome – only endured He decided it was time to step down at TROSA “Nobody realized but me where it was,” he said I’m out.’ And it was the right thing to do.” McDonald’s voice cracks when he talks about the support he got from his staff particularly after he announced he was stepping down “I just was so emotionally blown away by people caring so much I’ve cared a lot of about people in my life and I’ve given everything I got for a lot of years but I don’t expect people caring about me.” he’s learning to follow orders instead of giving them “I don’t need to be a general,” he said 9th Street Journal reporter Chris Kuo can be reached christopher.kuo@duke.edu In photo at top: Kevin McDonald in his home Photo by Henry Haggart | The 9th Street Journal Chris Kuo Published in Life in Durham Kevin McDonald was searching for a sense of belonging Air Force, which meant his family moved a lot during McDonald’s childhood McDonald felt severe anxiety in his constantly changing social situation. His life in the home came with another set of challenges Physically and emotionally," he told host Frank Stasio on WUNC’s The State of Things McDonald turned to alcohol to cope with his social anxiety and the violence in his home By the time he graduated from high school in Los Angeles McDonald says his drinking was out of control so much so that his father kicked him out "My dad said 'My way or the highway,’ and so I took the highway," McDonald said He started abusing drugs in addition to alcohol: marijuana it was a whole different world,” he said. “I had to adapt to it and survive...it was all about survival.” Survival for McDonald meant robbing pharmacies to support his heroin habit he made bail. But he didn’t the second time, and the judge sentenced him to probation and rehabilitation McDonald says it was the best thing that ever happened to him McDonald completed a rehabilitation program at Delancey Street Foundation in San Francisco. Inspired by the transformation he saw in himself and others at Delancey, McDonald founded the Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers program, known as TROSA The nonprofit helps more than 500 residents end their substance abuse and build new lives health care and rehabilitation for substance abusers at no cost TROSA residents can work for TROSA’s moving company thrift and frame shop or Christmas tree lots the program includes many evidence-based rehabilitation methods McDonald says the goal of TROSA's methods is empowerment.

Dell’Oro: Data center physical infrastructure market rose 15% in Q2 2023 The center physical infrastructure (DCPI) rose 15 percent year-over-year in the second quarter. While the growth was the slowest the industry segment has seen for the first time in six quarters, Dell’Oro Group, said the deceleration in revenue growth was expected, mainly due to normalizing supply chain constraints and price realization beginning to wane. Further, the research firm pointed out that vendor backlogs have defied expectations and continued to grow in the second quarter, prompting another quarter of upward revisions from DCPI vendors and to its 2023 DCPI forecast. Dell’Oro raised the worldwide DCPI revenue growth forecast for 2023 to over 13 percent. “This upward revision was due to multiple DCPI vendors raising full-year guidance as supply chain constraints ease and vendor backlogs continue to grow,” said Lucas Beran, research director at Dell’Oro Group.

a challenge for which my brother was likely unprepared Shortly after he was released from prison for the first time a trip to the grocery store triggered a panic attack When my mother told me he had applied to a rehab program in Durham although I wasn’t sure it would last But this one wasn’t like the 30-day programs he’d been in before This one lasts two years and includes vocational training since Zach wouldn’t be able to contact us initially Eventually there would be letters and phone calls The program was called TROSA — Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers — and none of us had ever heard of it So five months after his release I wake up at 5 in the morning and creep out of my parents’ home on the North Carolina coast to drive four hours to Durham to find out what TROSA is Much of what we associate with substance abuse treatment in the United States began in the early 1930s alcoholism was treated as a public health issue rather than a moral failing advocated approaching alcoholism as a treatable disease and by the 1950s incorporating principles of holistic treatment into residential facilities that introduced the now-ubiquitous 28-day treatment model both approaches were adapted to address narcotics addiction more than 14,000 drug treatment facilities operate in the United States Fewer than half of all treatment facilities provide services such as comprehensive mental health assessments At first glance these services might seem tangential to addiction treatment but they may be the key to maintaining long-term sobriety for people who have a mental illness in addition to addiction or — more to the point in the case of my brother — who have been incarcerated Durham seems to have avoided the soulless strip-mall aesthetic that dominates other small cities; in the quiet residential area where TROSA is located massive trees create a green canopy over quaint houses I mentally make note of street names so I can check real estate listings for domestic fantasy purposes later TROSA’s campus stretches over 13 acres and occupies a vacant elementary school and a former dairy I pull up to the security booth and greet a polite and provides detailed directions to the administrative office I know without asking that he is a resident of the program — the nature of TROSA means that nearly everyone I will speak to today is a resident of the program and though I don’t know where on campus he lives But I can picture him working in this security booth putting his natural charm and friendliness to good use TROSA is a therapeutic community — that’s National Institute on Drug Abuse lingo for drug-free residential settings that emphasize the role of the community to help addicts change Synanon is now more commonly remembered for its evolution into a cult but the principles established during its time as a rehabilitation community inspired hundreds of other TCs confrontational and aggressive group treatment methods were commonly used; at Synanon and its direct descendants residents played "the game" — group sessions marked by vicious often profane confrontation and ridicule designed to expose and weaken barriers to personal honesty — sometimes for hours or days at a time Modern TCs have evolved away from these methods Today’s programs combine clinical groups and community meetings under a rigid structure designed to establish positive behavior and attitudes They’re different from traditional rehabs in a lot of ways not least of which is the length of their programs: 18 to 24 months And while traditional rehab facilities commonly cost between $15,000 to $38,000 a month many TCs — including TROSA — provide services at no charge to the patient TROSA residents who work on the In-Kind donation team which solicits donated goods to meet residents' everyday needs a petite young woman is stationed behind one of those giant round monolithic desks granted to every receptionist Beth is a freckled blonde who I correctly assume is from a nice She has been a TROSA resident for seven months a sexual abuse survivor who turned to alcohol and prescription painkillers in college is imposing beyond his height but maintains a folksy and reassuring demeanor His difficult home life bloomed into an early dependence on alcohol McDonald was facing a 20-year prison sentence for armed robbery when a state supreme court let him begin a lengthy stay at Delancey Street and it’s a two-year program," he says learning how to communicate a little better eventually realizing I didn’t have to use my fists and I hated violence McDonald eventually began working for Delancey Street and after helping to establish a facility in Greensboro He was working in a program for homeless parolees in South Central LA — "It was just about bed counts and getting paid by the government for each bed we kept full" — when a group from Durham came calling They’d seen Delancey Street and wanted something similar for Durham The group only had $18,000 to start the program Durham county leased TROSA the Old North Durham Elementary School for $1 a year in the form of multi-story modular homes on brick foundations laid by residents An old dairy was converted to maintain a fleet of donated and second-hand vehicles They’re in the midst of fundraising for their next expansion a medical clinic intended to increase their capacity to care for residents on-site That’s important since residents can’t leave the campus unsupervised so every doctor’s appointment requires coordinating transportation and a staff or senior resident escort it’s quickly apparent that TROSA’s staff and residents alike are expected to follow and enthusiastically display the community’s values and principles This includes strict behavior expectations: everyone greets each other when they pass in the hallway and everyone stands when someone enters a room Work is a key component of every therapeutic community and TROSA’s work assignments extend into the larger Durham community: the organization operates a thrift store and frame shop all staffed by the program’s 500 residents these operations bring in over $8 million — just over 60 percent of TROSA’s revenues The work assignments are also a key component of TROSA’s treatment model Each resident is assigned to a six-person team This is intended to help patients learn interpersonal skills Work assignments may also include vocational training or other education — TROSA helps residents earn their GEDs and some residents enroll in the nearby community college My brother works for TROSA’s moving company where he’s earning his commercial driver’s license he complains of long hours and exhausting work but I hope he is also learning to find value in the trust that’s being placed in him I’ve quietly avoided leaving my wallet unattended around him; my parents began keeping their valuables under lock and key after he pawned hundreds of dollars’ worth of musical equipment The fact that strangers are now trusting him to enter their homes and pack and move all of their belongings astonishes me and I’m hopeful that he won’t betray that trust Part of me is afraid that it’s misplaced a charity that mails free books to prisoners But the haphazard collection of spy thrillers and self-help books doesn’t match Zach’s preference for Updike After completing their first year in the program These homes are subdivided into four-person apartments with separate bedrooms and a small kitchen — although residents are still expected to eat breakfast and dinner in the communal dining hall residents are expected to adhere to strict housekeeping standards either — TROSA staff readily admit new residents struggle with the rigid The last time my brother had his own bedroom so imagining him making his bed every morning seems beyond belief During my tour I meet a young man named Arman Arman is crisply dressed in a well-coordinated button-down and tie — for a brief moment I think he may be one of the counselor trainees from nearby Duke University He’s been at the program for a little over 17 months after being suspended from college for stealing to support his heroin addiction Things got worse from there until his family urged him to seek help at TROSA "I didn’t want to be here," Arman says and it was time for me to take control of my life and start helping myself." Three years younger than my brother — but I wonder if Zach has had this breakthrough He certainly does not want to live the life of an addict but is he ready to make the effort to help himself He’s repeatedly described his struggles to me in a way that implied he was waiting for something or someone to save him It’s as if he felt that as long as he didn’t want to be the way he was things would change without him expending effort he’s realizing at TROSA that he can help himself change a licensed counselor and addiction specialist is part of the original group that recruited Kevin McDonald 21 years ago He’s also an assistant professor in psychiatry at Duke where he arranged for a partnership between the school and TROSA Nagy is part of the reason TROSA is distinct from other programs: instead of asking residents to white-knuckle through cravings which reduces cravings for alcohol and interrupts heroin highs Medication-assisted therapy is controversial in treatment program circles and not widely used in US rehab facilities This reluctance is partially due to influential treatment philosophies of AA and NA which take a broad stance against the use of any substances and the attitude that such medication is a "crutch," says Shelley Streenrod an associate professor at Salem State University in Massachusetts (Streenrod is not affiliated with TROSA.) Additionally naltrexone (and other pharmacological treatments) must be prescribed by a physician; not all treatment facilities have staff qualified to prescribe medication And even if an addict speaks to a physician about treatment the doctor may not discuss drugs like naltrexone associate professor in Adelphi University’s School for Social Work as well — many FDA-approved medications for substance use disorders are highly regulated may be unfamiliar with these medications or may not be comfortable prescribing them," Fenster says Some doctors are reluctant to prescribe medications to addicts and some people with addictions are wary of taking these medications And that’s despite research that shows that naltrexone and drugs like it can be helpful in treating substance abuse TROSA symbolizes a "gradual shifting" from the more confrontational TC model of Synanon and earlier communities, to methods such as motivational interviewing, according to Paul. Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach that avoids direct confrontation instead relying on empathetic collaboration to help addicts resolve their ambivalence toward addressing their substance use Paul is careful not to undermine the core foundations of the therapeutic community Training and work assignments are still paramount and group sessions and counseling attendance are secondary to completing work assignments this creates something of a "catch as catch can" environment All of TROSA’s specific treatment methodologies have shown efficacy in research reviewed by national authorities A handful of studies have found that therapeutic communities lessen the likelihood of relapse and reincarceration compared to control groups But studies only take you so far; when it comes to any individual addict it’s more important to consider what environment might suit their needs TROSA’s internal numbers are flattering: they claim 95 percent of graduates are employed a year after completing the program Everyone I’ve spoken to has reiterated that the program is "not for everyone" but the program has clearly met a need in North Carolina: 80 out of the state’s 100 counties are represented (along with out-of-state residents) There’s a 50 percent increase in residents since 2012 and TROSA’s office fields 450 new inquiries a week Offering services at no cost requires substantial funding and resources which both Paul Nagy and Kevin McDonald emphasize are extremely difficult to secure — in 2014 only 12 percent of TROSA’s revenue came from government grants or other cash contributions "[As a country] we spend more money on clean-up — anti-trafficking et cetera — than we do on treatment," Paul explains "It’s a public policy debacle." Although medical professionals understand that addiction is a disease addiction is still extremely stigmatized by the general public "We tend to think of people experiencing alcohol or other drug addiction as morally or psychologically flawed." This stigma leads to underfunding and other iniquities Steenrod adds that these funding issues go beyond government spending as insurance companies resist covering long-term rehabilitation programs like therapeutic communities despite their efficacy I never see my brother on my tour of TROSA Before I head back to my parents’ home I stop by a fast food restaurant to grab some food so I’ll have enough energy to make the drive The restaurant is bustling with employees of the nearby medical facilities families desperate to preoccupy their children with a ball pit and a couple patrol cars’ worth of sheriff’s deputies People whose lives may not be as governed by addiction as TROSA’s residents but who may have shopped at the thrift store or decorated a Christmas tree from TROSA’s lot in their home they have given Zach an opportunity to heal just as much as the staff and residents of TROSA There are tiny threads of connection that stretch from them "There are my two angels." My mom has caught me staring at the 5-foot-tall oil painting of my brother and me at two and four that she commissioned online from China — a size just small enough not to qualify as outlandishly garish "I’m glad you went to TROSA," she says She wants to know her son is in a place that can help him After his formal acceptance into TROSA but before his release from prison he told my parents that other inmates criticized the program when they heard he was going My parents counseled him not to take stock in the opinions of people still caught in the cycle of addiction and incarceration my brother will finally overcome his addiction painfully hardened my heart against false hope tried to learn what to do or say that would do more help than harm I’ve found that the best way to prevent another heartbreak is not to allow yourself to hope for anything That was when my parents asked Zach to leave the house for good my brother’s drinking had become constant and unavoidable and when he made an obvious attempt to sneak whiskey up to his room I made a grab for the bottle; he twisted my arm away hard enough to leave a bruise apologizing even though I wasn’t angry We haven’t communicated directly since and I don’t know how to tell him he has nothing to be ashamed of So I spend my time tiptoeing after his ghost; interrogating my parents for every detail of their conversations with him trekking to Durham to find out if he’s in a good place CORRECTION: TROSA stands for Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers and not Triangle Rehabilitation Options for Substance Abusers Edited by Elizabeth Lopatto, Michael Zelenko A weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.

Southpoint Mall has the largest trees but TROSA has several other locations in Durham as well as Chapel Hill and Morrisville it serves an average of 400 men and women on its campus says the pandemic has caused an increase in need for substance use recovery programs and luckily TROSA has spaces open “It might be that people are just not sure how to take that first step ‘I’m not sure about going into recovery right now.’ There’s a lot of uncertainty swirling around in people’s lives and we’re a safe space for people who might want to take that first step,” Pearson said because they’re completely cost free offering housing TROSA is also in the process of building a triad satellite campus It plans to open that location in Winston-Salem by the end of 2022 To learn more about TROSA, visit its website four experts weighed in on the effects of PROMESA and the challenges that remain: Natalie Jaresko former executive director of the oversight board; Sergio Marxuach policy director at the Center for a New Economy; David Skeel chairman of the oversight board and professor of corporate law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School; and John Ceffalio senior research analyst for Municipals at CreditSights The panel was moderated by Michelle Kaske of Bloomberg You can watch a video of the panel here but it really did work overall in my view,” said David Skeel “Our objective when we started was… once and done… very careful about how much debt there would be going forward.” Under the plan crafted by the Financial Oversight and Management Board the maximum amount Puerto Rico can borrow in any year is $1.15 billion a sum equaling about 8 percent of the Commonwealth’s own revenues excluding federal aid He described the plan as “clearly sustainable for Puerto Rico going forward” and “clearly fair to the creditors,” particularly the general obligation bondholders that while the debt limits were a temporary success and the Commonwealth’s budgeting process still needs reform “I do think there’s a need to legislate new Puerto Rico safeguards in terms of fiscal rules We already have some of those… in our constitution and they obviously did not work or at least they were relatively easy to work around,” he said Natalie Jaresko emphasized that the debt restructuring was a necessary but not sufficient condition for Puerto Rico’s economic success “Now you need political will on the part of the elected leadership to do what elected leaders need to do,” she said Puerto Rico’s primary electricity supplier has long been a source of frustration for Puerto Ricans Its troubles predate the island’s financial crisis and Hurricane Maria further damaged the utility’s aging infrastructure Skeel said that the government of Puerto Rico and the oversight board have been working towards increasing system reliability by bringing in private operators PREPA is also in negotiations for debt restructuring Jaresko noted that critical FEMA funding has been slow to arrive and that many of its benefits are yet to be realized legacy generation assets are being gradually decommissioned with a “cleaner and more reliable generation on the side of renewables” phasing in the oversight board will be terminated once Puerto Rico has access to credit at reasonable rates and has achieved four consecutive years of balanced budgets John Ceffalio noted that the wording of this section is vague: “When you read it it’s ‘adequate access to short-term and long-term credit markets at reasonable interest rates.’ What does ‘adequate’ mean Jaresko and Skeel agreed with Ceffalio’s assessment but noted that the law is purposefully written to allow the oversight board flexibility in determining the criteria for its own termination Both Skeel and Jaresko believe the 2022 fiscal year (which ended June 30 2022) could turn out to be the first year for which audited statements show Puerto Rico has balanced its budget Puerto Rican bonds are not currently rated by any of the major credit rating agencies making it difficult for the Commonwealth to borrow on public markets For the bonds to gain wider traction on markets Puerto Rico needs audited financial statements: “I don’t know if that’s enough to get the rating but I think that would be a big step.” Jaresko and Skeel underscored this point arguing that audited financial statements are needed to show definitively that the government’s budget is balanced While enabling future borrowing is important Marxuach cautioned against enabling the excessive debt that led to the crisis: “[T]he language in the constitution says that whenever… expenses exceed available resources… then Puerto Rico… must increase taxes The thing is that the phrase “available resources” has been interpreted by different lawyers and even by the Puerto Rico Secretary of Justice that’s how we got into this mess… [in]… the first place… because the concept of available resources is much broader than available revenues And they include the issuance of new debt for deficit financing in order to bridge the gap that’s one of the things that we definitely need to fix in the constitution.” Resolving other problems could also improve the island’s economic health uncertainty may be reduced in the eyes of rating agencies affordable energy affects all economic activity,” and is essential for economic growth One of the lessons from the Puerto Rico restructuring is the novel use of a Contingent Value Instrument that links bondholder payouts to sales tax revenues will do better if Puerto Rico’s economy does better It’s pretty hard to play games with them,” Ceffalio said “They… track the economy really well.” He and Skeel agreed that this instrument could be used in future municipal bankruptcies The panel also discussed whether Puerto Rico had established a precedent of pensioners taking smaller haircuts than bondholders in municipal bankruptcies Jaresko argued that the Puerto Rican pension system was structured differently than pension systems in other prominent municipal bankruptcies Puerto Rico pensions had been cut before PROMESA she thought Puerto Rico’s situation was “somewhat unique.” Ceffalio said that “there is a precedent that was set in Detroit and in some of the California bankruptcies” that “in negotiations… the pensioners I think have a better moral claim and better political claim… than does a mutual fund who might be hesitant to get into a public fight with pensioners I do think that’s largely a precedent and it’ll continue to go that way.” The Brookings Institution is financed

Headline features include 5 nm process technology, support for 1.2 Tbps and a 148 gigaBaud rate, which mark a step up from the 800 Gbps and around 100 gigaBaud rate boasted by the Ice6 It is also capable of supporting 800G transmissions over a distance of up to 3,000 kilometers – which is nearly three times what the Ice6 offered told Fierce the Ice7 will help operators reduce their cost per bit by up to 30% and power per bit by up to 60% Cisco and Nokia both offer products capable of supporting 1.2 Tbps on a single wavelength, while Ciena just debuted a 1.6 Tbps solution “I would contend on a pluggable the TROSA accounts for about 70% of the performance,” he said “So one pluggable versus another the performance will be determined by the quality of the TROSA so the DSP’s a bit more important but still not more than 50%.” Ice7 is expected to become available in the first half of 2024 And Shore said Infinera already has an eye toward the future he hinted the vendor’s forthcoming Ice8 product will be based on a 3 nm process and will “take a different approach” to boosting performance “It’s not going to continue to try to beat the problem to death with a Baud hammer,” he quipped Infinera this week also announced it is looking to become a sub-systems vendor with the launch of its Ice-X suite of offerings These include three options each for TROSAs while the DSPs and pluggables support 100G The 100G and 400G solutions are available today with the 800G options due out in the first half of 2024 Shore said the move to commercialize its components follows Infinera’s decision to move to a building block approach internally but we have now learned there’s quite a bit of interest in it and we’re building it anyway,” he said even if the market isn’t that massive – and it’s probably not you’re probably talking about a maybe $100 $150 million market for this type of stuff – it’s nothing to sneeze at.” Shore explained that “using a building block approach allows us to better leverage these components for a wider variety of optical engines we started doing that anyway for our own purposes.” Subsequent conversations with customers and suppliers about its TROSA over the past year-plus He added Infinera already has at least two customers for its TROSAs but expects to have more soon given as many as eight companies have already expressed interest ';case"arrow-right-regular":return'\x3c!-- Font Awesome Pro 6.1.0 by @fontawesome -

Scattered throughout the town and its surroundings, these engraved stones served as memorials to the dead and date back as far as the Viking Age and early Christian period More can be learned about them and other facets of the town’s fascinating history at the Sigtuna Museum with its rare archaeological finds One of the most southerly small towns in Sweden, Ystad is much closer to the Danish capital city of Copenhagen a scenic 90-minute train ride away than it is to Stockholm six hours to the north Its south coast setting has served Ystad well down the centuries especially during the medieval period when it served as an important European trading place its remarkably well-preserved Old Town and cobblestone main street is a delight to wander on foot with its boutique shops an example of Brick Gothic architecture dating from 1267 that’s now home to a major art museum; and the Ystad Theatre an exquisite 19th-century building that continues to host performances Ystad is the setting for Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander detective series with guided tours available that include locations featured in the books and films Falköping is located a scenic hour’s train ride from Gothenburg, Sweden's second biggest city it’s surrounded by some of the country's most significant prehistoric sites that date back to the Viking Age is a vibrant thoroughfare that’s fun to wander and makes a good jumping-off point from which to explore the many ancient monuments and sites dotted around the town The most important of these old attractions is Ålleberg mountain, a flat-topped hill (or mesa) that’s home to one of Sweden's largest collections of petroglyphs dating back to the Bronze Age as well as its spectacular views over the plains of Västergötland A visit to Falbygdens Museum is another must-do and is popular for its detailed exhibits from the Stone Age to the present day Handily located just 90 minutes south of Stockholm, Trosa is for good reason considered one of Sweden's most idyllic small towns. In addition to its picture-perfect coastal setting overlooking the Baltic Sea it possesses one of Scandinavia’s prettiest main streets it follows the Trosa River almost as far as the town’s waterfront and marina and is a picturesque setting for leisurely walks and dining (go for the seafood!) Trosa Stadsmuseum provides insights into the town's past showcasing its development from a medieval fishing village to one of the country’s top small-town tourist destinations is another popular attraction and offers guided tours and insights into Swedish royalty while the Trosa Archipelago is a draw for outdoor enthusiasts for its boating Hjo’s pretty lakeside setting is a real boon for this small town’s tourism industry. Set on the western shore of Lake Vättern mid-way between Stockholm and Gothenburg the town is known for its well-preserved wooden buildings many of them located along its main street some fine examples can be seen surrounding Hjo Stadspark a beautifully landscaped park that borders the lake that’s used for events including music festivals and the much-anticipated Yearly Arts and Crafts Fair Popular tourist attractions include the Hjo Museum with its displays relating to the town's history and cultural heritage with the town’s harbor area being especially fun to explore Visby’s location on the Baltic Sea island of Gotland certainly adds to this small town’s appeal. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site Visby is famous for its remarkably well-preserved town wall which encircles the old town Built between the 13th and 14th centuries during the Hanseatic League era to protect the town’s important trading status and cathedral from marauders Visby Cathedral was built in the 1200s and makes for a great selfie backdrop (Tip: get close up to capture the twin spires towering above you!) More can be learned about the island and the cathedral at the Gotland Museum which offers a deep dive into the island's rich history from its early roots and beyond through its Viking treasures and medieval artworks Strolling Mariefred's cobbled main street is another must-do as is a ride aboard the Mariefred Steam Train a historic railway that offers a nostalgic journey through the picturesque countryside between Mariefred and Läggesta and Falköping each promise to provide curious travelers with no end of fun experiences particularly around their historic main streets Still bustling after centuries have passed these charming locations provide a look into Sweden’s past with tourist attractions that paint a fascinating picture of its people and their rich culture Learn more about these unforgettable destinations and be inspired by this list of towns in Sweden that have the best main streets photos and original descriptions © 2025 worldatlas.com TROSA, Sweden, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Former teen idol Luke Perry reportedly is filming a new Swedish-American romantic comedy called "Midsummer Party" in a small town outside of Stockholm. The Local said he plays a U.S. actor in his latest project, which director Ian McCrudden began shooting last week in Trosa. "There really are a bunch of tall, blonde women here, and I've had a nice time in the sauna," Perry observed in an interview with the Aftonbladet newspaper. "It's beautiful here," he said, pointing to the view from his hotel room. "I guarantee you that I'm coming back to Trosa." The 41-year-old actor also revealed to Aftonbladet he doesn't mind being remembered for his "90210" role. "I'm going to be linked with him until I die, but that's actually just fine. I created Dylan McKay. He's mine," Perry said.
