Sea-level surge changing coastal Prince Edward Island
2014-07-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Back in 1959 it was prime waterfront property and at $15 an acre, a bargain to boot. But those three lovely acres in Savage Harbour snapped up by Emmett McKenna are gone. They once offered a lovely north shore view now theyre under water. The family had to move the cottage back when rising sea levels claimed Pigots Point, but McKenna still pays the $1 tax every year just in case it comes back. WHO IS UNDER WATER NEXT? Prince Edward Island is slowly disappearing, parts of it anyway, and...

Times are Changing for the Traditional Fleet Manager
2014-07-21 04:59:20| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
We are thoroughly enjoying Ed Pierces new fleet marketing column A Call to Action (for Fleet Providers)' published monthly in Fleet Management Weekly. In his July column he said, As any great sales person will tell you, sales is not about a great product or service, its about the customers perception of value. We thought about Ed's statement while we interviewed a number of distinguished fleet professionals at NAFAs recent Board of Governors meeting in Orlando. The industry is changing, they say; many fleet managers now report direct to strategic sourcing or work closely with these folks in purchasing/bid processes, and sport new job titles. But we were struck by something that we heard over and over again: the absolute value these fleet professionals are realizing by having earned their CAFM accreditation from NAFA. Several people said that they would not even have been considered for their current position without it, and others said how the CAFM status substantially elevates the perception of their very real capabilities to upper management. At one time or another nearly all of us must 'market' ourselves and we need to have the tools to do that effectively. We think NAFA excels in fleet education, whether it occurs at webinars, at local chapter meetings, the annual I&E, the Expo floor at I&E, fundamental and advanced fleet management seminars, and events such as this falls International Fleet Academy and the CAFM Bootcamp. Graduates tell us that it's not easy to earn a CAFM, making it all the more valuable in the marketplace. And while were talking about excellent opportunities to expand your fleet education, dont miss out on the 2014 AFLA Conference September 7-10 in Las Vegas. Great educational sessions, terrific keynoters, and superb networking - so aptly named: "Improving Your Odds for Fleet Success."

Report: Climate changing more rapidly than any point on record
2014-07-17 16:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: A new look at the vital signs of Earths climate reveals a stark picture of declining health. As global temperatures rise, so do sea level and the amount of heat trapped in the oceans upper layers. Meanwhile, mountain glaciers and Arctic sea ice are melting away beneath an atmosphere where concentrations of three key planet-warming greenhouse gases continue to rise. Data show that the climate is changing more rapidly now than it has at any time in the historical record, says Thomas Karl,...
