Disrupting Fields: Addressing Power Dynamics in the Fields of Climate Finance and Gender Lens Investing
JANUARY 2021 Disrupting Fields: Addressing Power Dynamics in the Fields of Climate Finance and Gender Lens Investing Joy Anderson, Criterion Institute with funding from Wallace Global Fund and UNICEF Disrupting Fields: Addressing Power Dynamics | 1 Acknowledgements This paper is grounded in a moment in time in the development of gender lens investing and climate finance. It must be acknowledged up front that the work of Criterion Institute is implicated in this history. I invite you to challenge Criterion and me as its leader on our own decisions and how they affect power dynamics in the field. We are committed to publishing metrics and setting up feedback loops to be an example of the transparency and accountability in field building that we are calling for in this paper. Criterion’s Board of Directors, many of whom are referenced in this work, challenge the power dynamics that keep systems of inequity in place in their own work. They hold Criterion accountable for our mission to expand who sees themselves as able to use finance to create social change. Susan Gibbs at Wallace Global Fund and Patty Alleman at UNICEF have been long-time champions in ensuring that efforts to innovate in systems finance is grounded in goals of equity and justice. This work would not have been possible without funding from both Wallace Global Fund and UNICEF. This has been a collective effort. The whole team at Criterion participated in one way or another developing and writing this paper over the last 18 months as Criterion’s work became increasingly explicit in its focus on power. -
IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures
IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures By Jason Coombs ([email protected]) Introduction This is a book about how to secure Microsoft Internet Information Services for administrators and programmers whose work includes a requirement for information security, a computer industry specialty field commonly referred to as infosec. In this book the terms information security and infosec are used interchangeably with the more friendly term data security. This is not a book about hacking, cracking, and the tools and techniques of the bad guys, the so-called black hat hackers. This book teaches computer professionals and infosec specialists how to build secure solutions using IIS. It is your duty to secure and defend networked information systems for the benefit of the good guys who are your end users, clients, or less technical coworkers. There is nothing you can do that will transform a programmable computer running Microsoft Windows from its vulnerable condition to an invulnerable one. Every general purpose programmable computer is inherently vulnerable because it is controlled by software and is designed to allow new software to be installed or executed arbitrarily. Network computing based on programmable general purpose computers will never be safe from an information security perspective. Eliminating the feature of general purpose programmability from a networked computer and replacing its software with firmware reduces but does not eliminate vulnerabilities. These are immutable realities of present day computing and, as always, reality represents your biggest challenge. Microsoft is in business to get as much of your money as possible using whatever means will work at a given moment and in this respect they know virtually no equal in the software business. -

Mighty Number 9 and the Ethics of Kickstarter on July 18Th, 2011
Spring 2016 | ADES 5515 Logan McLaughlin The Legend Never Dies, or Gets a Full Release: Mighty Number 9 and the Ethics of Kickstarter On July 18th, 2011 Capcom disappointed many fans of their iconic Mega Man series by announcing the cancellation of the most recent installment in the series: Mega Man Legends 3. Legends 3 had been in development for less than a year and was apparently close to having a finished Alpha build, an early playable version of the game. More importantly, lead producer Keiji Inafune had approved an interesting design process by opening a multi-national development forum to solicit ideas from carefully selected fans. I was among those on the developer forums who took part in surveys and design sessions for various mechanics and design implementations. When the game was cancelled I, like many others, had to accept that the Mega Man series was officially dead. Hope came in 2013 in the form of a Kickstarter for a new game developed independently from Capcom by Inafune himself under the banner of his new company Comcept LLC. What was promised to fans was a re-imagining of the classic 2D side scrolling Mega Man games so many had known and loved over the years. The title of this game was Mighty Number 9. The game reached its $900,000 USD target in two days, and by the end of the month-long Kickstarter campaign had raised a total of $3,845,170 USD. After the campaign, the game had a period of extended PayPal donations ultimately ending with a grand total of $4,046,579 USD raised. -

Vaporware: Imaginary High-Tech Products and Real Antitrust Liability
Vaporware: Imaginary H-igh-Tech Products and Real Antitrust Liability in a Post-Chicago World ROBERT PRBNTICE* I. INTRODUCTION In rejecting a consent decree in the antitrust case United States v. Microsoft Corp.,1 Judge Stanley Sporkin noted that "vaporware," the high- technology industry's marketing ploy of preannouncing products that do not exist at the time of the announcement and may never come into existence in anything like their described form,2 "is a practice that is deceitful on its face and everybody in the business community knows it." 3 In part because of his misgivings about Microsoft Corporation's alleged * University Distinguished Teaching Professor and Ed and Molly Smith Centennial Professor of Business Law, Graduate School of Business, University of Texas, Austin, Texas. 1 159 F.R.D. 318 (D.D.C. 1995), rev'dper curiam, 56 F.3d 1448 (D.C. Cir. 1995). The original complaint charged Microsoft with violating sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act in the market for personal computer operating systems for the x86 class of microprocessors. The complaint attacked three of Microsoft's marketing practices: (a) "per processor" licenses by which Microsoft required original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to pay a royalty for each computer the OEM sold regardless of whether it contained a Microsoft operating system; (b) "minimum commitments" distribution practices whereby Microsoft induced OEMs to commit to buy a minimum number of units of Microsoft operating systems under circumstances making it economically unattractive to install any non-Microsoft system; and (c) use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to discourage independent software developers (ISVs) from developing applications for competing operating systems. -

Home Improvement Television: Holmes on Homes Makes It Right
Home Improvement Television: Holmes on Homes Makes It Right Jean Bruce Ryerson University Abstract: Holmes on Homes is a Canadian home improvement television program and the centrepiece of HGTV (Home and Garden Television), featuring Mike Holmes as the series’ star contractor and host. This paper argues that by looking back at earlier incarnations of film and television melodrama, we can determine the way in which Holmes on Homes reinvents the home improvement subgenre. By playing out reality TV’s central tension between fiction and non-fiction, Holmes on Homes reveals its larger themes of justice and redemption, which befit its unique position between the documentary and the classic melodrama. Keywords: Reality TV; Holmes on Homes; Home improvement television; Documentary TV; Classic melodrama Résumé : Holmes on Homes, mettant en vedette l’entrepreneur Mike Holmes, est une émission canadienne sur l’amélioration du foyer et la pièce de résistance du réseau HGTV (Home and Garden Television). Cet article soutient que nous pouvons recourir à des exemples anciens de mélodrames à la télévision et au cinéma, pour déterminer la manière dont cette émission réinvente le sous-genre « amélioration du foyer ». En effet, Holmes on Homes, en développant les tensions centrales de la téléréalité entre fiction et vérité, révèle ses thèmes clés de justice de rédemption qui reflètent sa position unique entre documentaire et mélodrame classique. Mots clés : Téléréalité; Holmes on Homes; Télévision sur l’amélioration du foyer; Télévision documentaire; Mélodrame classique Introduction When specialty network Home and Garden Television (HGTV) Canada applied for its broadcasting licence in 1996, the “nature of the service” it would provide was described as follows: The licensee will offer a 24-hour-a-day specialty service devoted to pro- gramming that presents practical, hands-on advice and instruction about homes and gardens. -
Helping Restore Native Bay Oysters Page 1 of 4
wjz.com - 'Reef Balls' Helping Restore Native Bay Oysters Page 1 of 4 WJZ Baltimore, Maryland News Weather: 'Reef Balls' Helping Restore Native Bay Oysters Advertisement Seen On Oct 20, 2006 1:14 pm US/Eastern 'Reef Balls' Helping Restore Native Bay Oysters Alex DeMetrick Reporting (WJZ) Officials from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) say they have seen a significant success in Eastern Bay, near Kent Island, that shows using "reef balls" can be a successful approach to restoring the native Bay oyster. CBF and project partners Maryland Environmental Service (MES) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will host boat trips to the reef ball site, and will lift several out of the water to highlight the project's accomplishments. Reef balls without oysters will be available on the boat for visual comparisons. CBF, MES and NOAA, with funding from the Fish America Foundation, planted 69 reef balls on the site in 2005. Twenty "set," meaning tiny oysters had attached to the reef balls at CBF's Oyster Restoration Center. Less than one year after they were placed on the Eastern Bay reef, these oysters have grown over two inches in length, and have an excellent survival rate. Reef balls - large, igloo-like concrete structures - are still a relatively new approach to restoring oysters to the planted in the Bay, and oysters can attach themselves to the concrete "reefs." There, the oysters can grow into adults, filtering pollutants from the water and creating a rich habitat for fish and other creatures. Project partners also include CBF and South River Federation volunteers, who helped create the reef balls. -
