Once every twenty years, the Florida Constitution mandates the convening of a thirty-seven-member body that is charged with reviewing the state constitution and submitting any recommended changes to the general public for approval. This entity is formally known as the Constitution Revision Commission, and between March 2017 and May 2018, it met for the third time in Florida's history. Eight amendments, some with multiple parts, were proposed, and if any of these proposals are approved by 60% of the voters in the November 2018 general election, they will become "the supreme law of the land" for the State of Florida.

CRC Sugar was established in 1995 to undertake research and education to build the skills and technology for a competitive and environmentally responsible sugar industry. CRC Sugar was constituted as a collaborative joint venture between 13 organisations: the five major sugar milling companies (Bundaberg Sugar, CSR Sugar, Mackay Sugar, NSW Sugar and Sugar North), CANEGROWERS, BSES, SRDC, two divisions of CSIRO, the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines and three universities, The University of Queensland, Central Queensland University and James Cook University, the centre host. Together, these 13 organisations conduct ~85% of sugar R&D. CRC Sugar's operational strategy has been to add value to the work, through collaborative, multi-disciplinary research, to tackle difficult or complex 'systems' issues in partnership with research end-users. CRC Sugar has leveraged an additional $3.5 million annually into sugar R&D, in the form of competitive CRC Program cash, in-kind contributions from extra-industry research providers, and conditional establishment grants from the Queensland and NSW governments. Among CRC Sugar researchers' key achievements are the pioneering 'whole-of-industry' approach to alternative options for cane supply scheduling; a science-based understanding of the industry's water quality and other environmental impacts; improved management of acid sulfate soils; a targetted approach to customising nutrient management to local needs, taking account of soil type and nutrient recycling from mill muds, effluent and green cane trash blanketing (GCTB); tools to maximise economic returns from limited water; tools and approaches for ameliorating soil sodicity and acidity; better understanding of the wet tropics low CCS issue; a range of decision support tools to assess options and explore risks and trade-offs; and an innovative education and training program. Benefit: cost analysis of selected projects indicated that the potential benefit from the cane supply options work alone exceeds the aggregate 8-year cost of the Centre. There were 'transaction' costs in operating CRC Sugar, mainly in the form of the time and effort spent on building collaborative links with other researchers and industry, and on accountability. The main gap when CRC Sugar's term ends will be in the nature and extent of environmental research, with much of the ongoing research diverting to organisations focussed on environmental protection rather than sustainable sugar production. CRC Sugar's legacies include the whole-of-industry approach to exploring options for securing operational efficiencies, a comprehensive, science-based appraisal of the industry's environmental footprint, 'best bet' options for improved environmental management, stronger industry engagement by extra-industry research providers, and a paradigm shift in favour of collaborative, participative, systems-based research.

Abstract: All ASEAN member States have ratified and acceded the Convention on the Elimination of AllForms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).As parties of both conventions, Malaysia and Indonesia should enforce specific mechanism and rules inline with CEDAW and CRC norms and standards. Yet, both countries ask reservation for severalsubstantive and procedural matters on both conventions. This certainly restricts the enforcement on theelimination of all forms of discrimination against women and the protection of the rights of children. Thisis in addition to the Islamic shariah implemented in Malaysia and some regions in Indonesia as well asstereotype of women and men regarding their role in economic, social, and political. This paper willessentially show some hindrances for both governments and therefore should take some steps to reducethe limitation. The analysis will be delivered by examining all reports given by both governments to UNCommission on Women and Children, as well as shadow reports from NGOs.Keywords: CEDAW, CRC, Reservation, Radical Feminism Abstrak: Semua Negara anggota ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asia Nation) telah meratifikasi danmengaksesi Konvensi tentang Penghapusan Segala Bentuk Diskriminasi terhadap Perempuan(Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women - CEDAW) dan Konvensitentang Hak-hak Anak (Convention on the Rights of the Child - CRC). Sebagai pihak yang meratifikasikedua konvensi tersebut, Malaysia dan Indonesia tentu saja harus tunduk dan mengikuti aturan yangtertera di dalam konvensi tersebut. Sayangnya, Malaysia dan Indonesia mengajukan reservasi terhadapbeberapa aturan dalam konvensi, baik secara substansi maupun prosedur. Hal ini tentu sajamenghambat penghormatan dan pelaksanaan kedua konvensi secara menyeluruh. Hal ini semakindipersulit dengan adanya hukum Islam yang berlaku di Malaysia dan beberapa daerah di Indonesia sertastereotipe mengenai perbedaan peran laki-laki dan perempuan yang diterapkan di dalam masyarakatkedua Negara. Paper ini akan menunjukkan beberapa kendala yang dihadapi oleh pemerintah keduaNegara dalam menerapkan aturan-aturan CEDAW dan CRC secara menyeluruh. Hal ini akan dilakukandengan menganalisa laporan-laporan tertulis yang telah dibuat oleh pemerintah dan NGO keduaNegara.Kata Kunci: CEDAW, CRC, Reservasi, Feminisme Radikal

Sam Freed's AI and Human Thought and Emotion is a pioneering venture into the possibility of programming an anthropic model of artificial intelligence grounded on the author's philosophical reflection on the accuracy-oriented and optimisation-driven making of AI. In critique of the rationalist tradition of AI development and expurgation of introspection from cognitive science, this book draws heavily upon phenomenology to argue for the necessity of incorporating human non-linear thinking processes into the technical design of AI. Freed's conceptual revolution enters a substantive dialogue with Hubert Dreyfus's What Computers Can't Do to offer an answer to the impossibility of formalising human introspection, which is conventionally deemed unprogrammable under the ostracism of human subjectivity from the science discipline and anti-scientism that pervades the intellectual circle of the humanities.

The onset of the coronavirus pandemic was accompanied by significant setbacks in the realisation of the rights of the child in Germany; the initial failure to consider the opinions and views of children and young people under 18 can serve as an example here. Moreover, the crisis threw previously existing deficits into sharp relief, such as the lack of structures in Germany that could have stepped up to ensure respect for children's rights during a pandemic. The task facing all stakeholders now is to analyse these experiences and use the insights gained to make great progress in the realisation children's rights in Germany.
