An eye-catching statistic shows that 60% of children fail to achieve the recommended 30 minutes of physical activity in school each day.
This drops to 43% for those who are inactive outside of the school gates.
Earlier this year the Alliance released our interactive map of childhood activity which showed that in several local authorities, over half of children were active for less than 30 minutes each day.
The correlation between these statistics highlight the importance to create a solution to raise physical activity levels during school to create happy, healthy and active children.
Responding to the latest figures Lisa Wainwright, Sport and Recreation Alliance CEO, said: “It is welcome news to see an increase in activity levels among children and young people but the issue of physical inactivity in schools can’t be ignored.
“It is clear that the incredible work of our members is making a real impact and has contributed to a pleasing rise in activity levels, but this isn’t being supported during the school day.
“Schools should be a place for academic and physical development, and both should be given equal importance. They should be the ideal environment for our children to prosper in each of these areas.
“This report is evidence that the current system isn’t working, and we must be prepared to do more to promote physical activity in our schools.
“This includes offering more opportunities and a greater variety of sport and recreation activity for our youngsters to get involved in, which our members can willingly assist with.
“It has to be supported by substantial and consistent funding. This is why our general election manifesto calls for the Soft Drinks Industry Levy to be extended for school sport.
“It was great to hear representatives from the Conservatives and Labour acknowledge the impact this additional money has already played at our hustings event this week. There was also indication that both parties would continue to support this crucial funding stream.
“We must now see a firm commitment from the next government to protect this revenue and use schools as the starting point to create an active nation.”

Total ankle replacement surgery, also known as ankle arthroplasty, is the process of replacing injured ankle bones and cartilage with stronger prosthetic or artificial parts. This relatively new procedure is highly effective in reducing pain and improving mobility in ankle joints that have been severely injured through an accident or arthritis. When other methods of treating the injured ankle have failed to produce the desired results, replacing the joint may be a patient’s best option.
When a doctor suggests such a procedure, it is completely normal for the patient to have questions about the operation and the recovery time for total ankle replacement. At Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, our experienced surgeons are happy to answer any questions about the preparation, procedure, and recovery period.
How Long is Recovery Time for Total Ankle Replacement?
The process for recovery time for total ankle replacement comes in a few stages. For approximately six weeks after the procedure, the patient will wear a boot or splint and use assistance when moving about. During the first two of those weeks, patients should limit their movements to allow healing of the incision. After that, the doctor will instruct patients about how to remove the boot to perform simple, physical therapy exercises.
Recovery from any surgery, especially ones involving total joint replacement, can vary from one patient to the next. There are a number of factors that play into an individual’s recovery time, including age, health conditions, and certain variables within the replacement. For a more precise outlook on your own recovery, talk to your doctor or surgeon about what to expect.
How Should A Patient Prepare for Recovery?
Preparing for recovery time for total ankle replacement is not difficult, but it does require some prior planning. First and foremost, the patient should prepare his or her home environment for easy access during those first few weeks of recovery. Because movement should be limited during this time, patients should try to ensure that their resting space has easy access to the bathroom and kitchen. Additionally, patients should arrange for assistance with normal chores, like transportation or walking pets.
Driving arrangements should also be made for the patient for the duration of his or her recovery time for total ankle replacement. These arrangements should include someone to bring him or her home from the hospital after the initial surgery and transportation to and from any follow up appointments. Keep in mind that ankle arthroplasty surgery is done under either general or regional anesthesia.
How Can A Patient Help Their Recovery Progress Quickly?
Although patients are likely eager to enjoy pain free use of their ankle, the recovery time for total ankle replacement does require some patience. It is important not to rush this process, so that the joint and surrounding area have adequate time to heal and adjust, providing the most full recovery of painless mobility. However, there are some good practices that patients can follow which help to ensure a smooth and effective recovery.
First and foremost, it is important to keep swelling down during the first two weeks after surgery. This can be done by keeping the patient’s foot raised above his or her heart whenever resting or sleeping. Pillows are helpful to prop up the foot without placing any pressure on the heel.
Additionally, it is important that patients use the tools they are given for recovery. These tools include crutches and boots or splints that help support the new, healing ankle. It is important for patients to use these tools until their doctor gives them go ahead to walk without assistance.
Another set of “tools” patients should use to aid their recovery includes any physical therapy or exercises prescribed by the doctor or therapist. These stretches and exercises help to teach the new joint how to function properly and help to achieve the greatest range of motion.
Throughout the whole process of recovery, it is important to be patient and maintain contact with your doctor.

This dinner program honors Miss May Morris in Morgan Hall on November 2, 1956, the year of her returement. Born in June 29, 1886, May Morris, Class of 1909, became Dickinson College's librarian in 1927 and revitalized its collection, budget, and general organization. She received her Ph. B. from Dickinson and a degree from the Pratt Institute of Library Science in Brooklyn, NY. When Miss Morris became Dickinson's librarian, there was only one librarian, one assistant, 52,000 volumes and a budget of $6,050. When she retired in 1956 (the year of this honorary dinner) the college library had 5 professional librarians, 4 assistants, 102,326 volumes and $48,576 in budget money. Miss Morris organized and collected many of the works found in the current Dickinson College Archives and Special Collections, including the Norris Collection. She became the 2nd female full professor (of library science) in Dickinson history, second only to Dean Meredith (who became full professor of English). In 1966 the construction began on the new Spahr library, but unfortunately Miss Morris died January 27, 1967 and did not see it completed.

It's typically tossed out because it's considered a by-product to get to the wheat germ (the center). But it adds so much fiber to your diet!
To preserve freshness, store in the refrigerator or a vacuum-sealed container.
Bran boasts a high fiber content (6 grams per 1/4 cup serving) that also acts as a prebiotic, which may promote healthy gut bacteria and increasing diet transit time, thus guarding against constipation. Some studies indicate that wheat bran fiber may also slow fermentation in the gut, allowing short chain fatty acids to move throughout the colon.

INDIANAPOLIS -- IUPUI chemist Ian Webb, PhD. has received a $400,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study protein folding using ion mobility mass spectrometry, a technique that distinguishes molecules based on their size and mass.
“Proteins are the machines in our body that do everything,” explains Webb. “Our skin is made of proteins. The sensors in our nose and eyes that let us perceive things are all made of proteins. Everything involved in keeping us healthy, regulating the different systems in our body—all of this work is done by proteins.”
There are a myriad of proteins in the human body, each with a different function. While proteins complete much of the work inside our cells, we still know relatively little about them. With the completion of the human genome project, scientists have turned their attention toward better understanding proteins.
The shape of the protein, or the way it’s folded, determines what the protein actually does. Proteins that are properly folded are healthy and function correctly. It’s relatively common for a protein to become misfolded; our cells have ways to identify this and either fix or recycle the protein in many cases. When there are enough mutations in the body that allow proteins to become misfolded in a clumpy mess, humans can experience a number of complications or diseases. Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and some cancers are examples of diseases caused by protein misfolding.
“I think everyone is connected to someone with some form of protein misfolding disease, especially in old age,” says Webb. “It’s a very difficult problem to study, but it’s really high impact.”
We don’t yet know what causes a misfolding, but Webb is on a fact-finding mission to help us understand the three-dimensional shape of a protein in less time—and at a lower cost—than other methods that already exist.
Scientists currently use x-ray crystallization to bounce light off a protein and determine where atoms are located. Nuclear magnetic resonance is another frequently used method that shows three-dimensional positioning of proteins in a solution. Webb explains that these methods aren’t always a viable option as some proteins are unable to crystalize. Furthermore, both methods are incredibly time intensive; in fact, when x-ray crystallization was used to study the Ebola virus, it took years to map the proteins that eventually led scientists to the creation of a vaccine.
Webb’s proposed method of using mass spectrometry and ion mobilization to determine the weight and structure of the protein is completed in less than one hour. The process takes seconds to determine the weight and 30 to 60 minutes to create a three-dimensional model. Less than a drop of a sample protein is enough for several hours of research. Less material and manpower needed makes this a cost-effective method for uncovering the complexity of protein folding.
“For right now, we’re trying to develop a [brand new] method. The funding is to support the method development with some model systems,” explains Webb. “Our hope is to prove to the community that our data is reliable, and that the method is [precise] and fast.”
The research team includes IUPUI School of Science undergraduate students, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. The work, which will focus on mass spectrometry, will be completed entirely on the IUPUI campus over the course of the next two years.
Upon completion of the current research, Webb hopes to start working with collaborators in the medical school and other faculty in the chemistry department who are interested in certain proteins or protein-related diseases.
The grant (R21GM134408)* from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health is a two-year award. School of Science faculty currently hold more than $20 million in external research funding.

Urban heat island effect
The effects that urban centers have on public health, the economy, and social interactions are documented. Urban centers have historically been crucial economic drivers and indicators of prosperity. For instance, China’s rise as an economic power has closely corresponded with accelerated urbanization. This pattern has been seen elsewhere. Countries like Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and India have seen rapid urbanization fueled by, and leading to, strong economic performance.
It is not only the economy that benefits, or drives, urbanization. Social interactions are stronger when people are closer together. In such close quarters, their circumstances are likely to be similar, fostering greater participation in social matters. It is no accident then, that cities have historically served as hotbeds for political activity.
Despite these advantages, several issues bedevil cities, sometimes in ways that endanger lives and dilute the social and economic opportunities they bring. Urban centers can easily become a breeding ground for disease, social segregation, and deprivation of access to economic opportunities.
The built-up areas of a city also reemit the heat they receive from the sun during the day. This heat combines with anthropogenic heat (heat generated from human activity, mainly through fossil fuel consumption) to build up a phenomenon known as an urban heat island. The island resembles a dome that envelopes an urban center. This makes it significantly hotter than the surrounding rural areas, and is the focus of this article.
What is Urban Heat Island (UHI)?
An urban heat island effect refers to when an urban center becomes significantly hotter than the surrounding countryside.  Structures associated with urban centers such as houses, roads, and pavements reemit more heat into the atmosphere than natural vegetation and water bodies.
The result is that the temperature in urban centers, especially during warmer months, is as high as 3°C more than in the corresponding countryside. In many cases, structures absorb heat during the day, which they reemit during the night. In the process, the urban heat island effect is more pronounced at night.
More and more land is coming under urban development, often at the expense of natural vegetation and cropland. The amount of heat that is re-emitted into the lower atmosphere keeps rising. This is especially so in instances where development is concentrated, that is, urban centers. As climate change makes the globe warmer, urban centers will feel the temperature rise more acutely.
What causes an urban heat island?
In many modern cities, surfaces are almost always impermeable to water. Instead of stormwater being easily absorbed into the ground, it is directed to stormwater and sewerage systems.  Cities fail to benefit from the effects of evapotranspiration in the event of a storm. Water bodies are usually situated a safe distance out of town, such that even if the water does eventually get there, it cannot absorb excess heat in urban centers.
The size of an urban center and the nature of its structures affect the intensity and incidence of an urban heat island. Additionally, the nature of vegetation within the urban center also helps determine the intensity. For instance, a “concrete jungle” with no trees or grass within the built-up area is likely to have more severe temperature variation than a city that has more trees and other vegetation.
Color and materials used
Today’s superhighways, motorways, and all other types of roads are predominantly black. They are also likely to be made of asphalt. This combination makes the surfaces absorb more heat, making the places with a greater concentration of such surfaces warmer. This is especially so during the night, with variations between urban centers and surrounding countryside varying by as much as 9°C.
Urban canopies mean that for meters on end, there is no break for say, soil, water, or any sort of vegetation. The collective heat stored is enormous, even considering that in many instances, trees line up the street. This is especially so with high-rise buildings, which either absorb the heat and trap it or reflect it on shorter buildings, with the same effect.
Effects of the urban heat island effect
The urban heat effect has significant effects on the environment and public health. It also affects some aspects of economic interactions and social well-being. For this article, we will discuss the effects of the urban heat island effect on air pollution, health, and the economy.
Environmental impact of the urban heat Island effect
The environmental effects of an urban heat island are mainly confined to how it interacts with already existing air pollution. Due to the dependence of most cities today on vehicles for transport, the dependence on air conditioning, and other activities, cities are highly polluted. The heat is a consequence of, as well as a cause of, worsening pollution.
Air conditioning and the urban heat islands
Heat islands directly affect air quality in the places they occur.  This happens in two ways. First, high temperatures usually mean less wind flows. This concentrates air pollution that would otherwise have been dispersed. Sunlight accompanied by high temperatures leads to more chemical reactions between the air and pollutants. The result is more pollution, but also, more dangerous elements in the air that we breathe. In other words, an urban heat island exacerbates conditions and reactions that are already present with normal weather conditions.
Secondly, heat islands mean that offices and cars have to use air conditioning more extensively. The emissions that using air conditioning occasions means that significantly more emissions are pumped into the atmosphere than would otherwise be the case. This is not all, however. Air conditioners use hydrofluorocarbons as a refrigerant. Older systems may occasion small leakages of this gas, which has the capacity to, per molecule, trap much higher amounts of heat when compared to other greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.
Air conditioners work by trapping the heat within cars and buildings, and expelling it outside. The effects of thousands of running cars and buildings using air conditioning systems help to further pollute the air, or, as it is called in some quarters, thermal pollution.
Ground-level ozone pollution
In a typical urban center, cars, boilers, air conditioners, buildings, households, and industries emit different gases into the air.  In the presence of sunlight, these gases react and give birth to new gases, many of which are harmful, for a variety of reasons. The chemical reactions that happen usually result in the formation of smog. The effect is also known as ground-level ozone. The implication here is that ozone is at a level where it should not be. It traps heat, minimizes the dispersion of pollutants through wind, and likely makes cities inhabitable.
Particulate matter pollution
Particulate matter pollution (PMP) refers to the presence in the air of solid and liquid droplets between 2.5 and 10 micrometers in diameter.  These particles are emitted directly through mechanical processes such as vehicles and industrial machinery, though they can also be the product of reactions between different gasses emitted into the atmosphere. Alone, particulate matter is a serious air pollutant.
It has been hypothesized that in the cases where the particulate matter is a result of reactions between different gases, whose reaction is facilitated by heat, higher temperatures lead to a higher concentration of particulate matter. Since the particulate matter can absorb or trap more heat than normal atmospheric gases and particles, the phenomenon feeds itself, whereby higher temperatures mean higher temperatures, which in turn mean higher particulate matter pollution, and therefore, higher temperatures.
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are two gases commonly emitted by burning fossil fuels. When these gases come into contact with water, they may turn into their respective acids. More broadly, the gases cause acid deposition, which also includes dust or even snow with acidic particles which form after moisture dissolves the gases mentioned above.
While acid rain is a common occurrence due to the dispersal of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and other gases across wide areas, it is particularly worsened by higher temperatures. An urban heat island where the wind is low will have more severe acid rain since it provides the perfect conditions – a high concentration of pollutant gases, higher temperatures, and low dispersal.
While most of the consequences of an urban heat island are negative, the heat effect has an advantage as well. Recent research has found that urban heat islands could potentially be beneficial during winter. A study carried out in Birmingham, UK, found that on average, the urban heat island effect helps decrease cold-related deaths by 15% during winter. This is because, according to the researchers, winters are milder than they are in the countryside, and since more people live in urban areas, fewer people are exposed to extreme cold.
Impact of the urban heat island effect on public health
Traditionally, exposure to cold weather kills more people than heat. Cold weather is associated with respiratory illnesses that exacerbate underlying conditions, resulting in death. Increasingly, however, more and more people are succumbing to heat, not cold. Globally, 5 million people die every year as a result of exposure to extreme temperatures. The numbers are going up, with one odd characteristic: cold-related deaths are decreasing, while those related to heat are increasing.
Heat-related deaths are most common in Eastern Europe, but it is also a cause of concern in the US. Today, heat is the leading weather-related killer in the country. It manifests in the form of heat stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular conditions which are triggered by heat, and result in death.
Besides direct deaths, heat also causes several serious illnesses. Hyperthermia is an abnormally high body temperature, caused by exposure to too much heat. In its mild form, it causes heat cramps. Cramps and spasms usually occur after exercise and sweating in hot conditions. Heat exhaustion is worse, and involves the body’s inability to regulate its temperature after exposure. If untreated it develops into a heat stroke, which can be fatal. The incidence of such conditions is becoming more commonplace as temperatures rise in urban centers, a phenomenon directly attributable to the urban heat island effect.
Air pollution and public health
Besides the direct effects of heat, air pollution is a major public health concern.  Various types of cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses and some cancers have been linked directly to air pollution, which is worsened by rising temperatures in urban centers. Particulate matter and ground-level pollution trigger and worsen respiratory illnesses. They increase the risk of developing lung cancer and heart disease while making asthma attacks more severe.
The use of central heating and air conditioning systems is an integral part of modern real estate development. However, sharing air without sufficient purification mechanisms means that airborne diseases can easily be transmitted across a wide range. During the coronavirus pandemic, people, safely in their apartments, contracted the virus due to contact with recycled air.
Heat creates the ideal conditions for microbes to thrive and multiply, especially when there is sufficient moisture. Urban heat islands create these conditions, potentially aiding pathogens to proliferate, and disperse much faster than would otherwise be the case. The result – communicable diseases becoming more prevalent. This is despite current prevention mechanisms. The phenomenon is already causing concern among public health experts, with rising temperatures being seen as a major culprit.
PMP is responsible for various skin ailments seen in urban centers today. It is also a source of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress and the mutations and imbalances it causes in the body have been cited as possible causes of disease. Diabetes, cancer, and depression are steadily on the rise in urban centers.
The economic impact of the urban heat effect
An obvious impact of an urban heat island effect is the increased energy bills facing households and businesses. Phoenix, which is a desert, is also one of the fastest-growing large cities in the world. The architecture of its sprawl creates a heat dome that engulfs the entire city at night, with a difference as high as 12°F in nighttime temperatures. This means that in many instances, air conditioning systems run throughout, occasioning steep energy costs for businesses and households.
The amount of time that people spend on sick off is another economic cost.  They also incur costs seeking treatment, a cost that is not shouldered individually but by the community at large. In addition, excess deaths also mean that some careers and economic productivity are cut short prematurely. Though these costs may be difficult to quantify, they are nonetheless significant enough to warrant a rethink of the way our cities are built, and how they are growing.
Mitigating the urban heat island effect
Trees are an important agent in curbing the urban heat island. They absorb heat, while cooling off surrounding areas through evapotranspiration. Trees also provide shade, which makes pavements that would otherwise help build up the heat island effect cooler. According to the EPA, researchers suggest planting trees to the west to maximize their effect.
Planting trees does not limit the heat that buildings reemit. To manage this, green roofs have been championed, due to their effect on buildings’ interiors. Working in the same way as trees, green roofs reduce a building’s temperature and the urban heat effect. An experiment of this nature was carried out in Chicago’s City Hall, with encouraging results for researchers. Since then, the building has become much more pleasant to work in and has seen significant energy savings.
Green walls can also be used where applicable to complement the effects of green roofs and trees on the street. Green roofs insulate buildings while absorbing heat and synthesizing it. Singapore is a trendsetter in this respect, with high-rise buildings having a collection of vines scaling their length.
Water usually gains and loses heat at a slower rate when compared to adjacent land and solid surfaces. By evaporating, water can absorb more heat from the surrounding areas, thereby significantly reducing the temperature. Normally, cities situated at the coast or near major rivers, such as Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, Khartoum, and Mumbai benefit from the presence of large water bodies; they could otherwise be uninhabitable.
The trick then is to recreate the water bodies’ effect in places without the natural water bodies. In South Korea, the city of Seoul demolished an elevated expressway and replaced it with an artificial “river”, known as Cheonggyecheon. This had the effect of significantly reducing the city’s temperatures, both through the heat that the water absorbed, and the vegetation that it allowed to sprout along its banks.
Swimming pools and small dams can have a similar effect, albeit on a much-limited scale.  This is suggested to be the case in Phoenix, where scientists found that areas with a swimming pool nearby had lower temperatures than those without. To make it really count, however, it would need a large number of such water bodies, close enough to each other, to decisively deal with an urban heat island.
Reducing anthropogenic heat emissions
Human activity is a major contributor to the urban heat island effect. It is therefore obvious that measures to reduce activities that produce heat would have a direct effect on the intensity of the phenomenon. One such way should be to reduce the dependence on cars, and the reduction of low-density settlements that help spread out an urban concrete jungle, in the process taking up the area that was formerly cropland or covered by natural vegetation.
Besides car dependence, more efficiency is needed to reduce the incidence of wasted heat escaping into the atmosphere, such as from industrial activities, and domestic appliances. Additionally, more responsible air conditioner use by offices, households, and vehicles can significantly cut back on the amount of heat emitted into the atmosphere.
Rethinking urban planning and Design
Modern cities are dominated by asphalt and concrete. These surfaces are another big culprit of the urban heat island, due to their ability to absorb and retain heat. Some cities have tried painting such surfaces in brighter colors to reflect the light into space; while this may work, it also has other issues associated with it, including visibility and cost implications.
To deal decisively with the heat island issue, it is important to rethink how more surfaces can be reclaimed and turned into greenspaces. In other instances, the materials used could be changed, or, as is the case with Barcelona, covered in canopies where possible to prevent too much exposure.
It is impossible to discuss the urban heat island effect without mentioning one of its biggest causes – urban sprawl. The transformation of huge tracts of land into a concrete jungle has brought economic and social development. It has also brought health issues, pollution, and now, seemingly, a potential climate-altering phenomenon. It is necessary to point out that while the effect on the global climate is still negligible, due to the relatively small area of land that urban centers occupy, this is changing. Urban sprawl is taking up land at unprecedented rates. More and more people are moving to towns, where they will be exposed to the problems associated with urban sprawl, including the urban heat island.
While the mitigation issues discussed above may significantly help, decisive action is needed. Rolling back the use of one of the biggest heat emitters – vehicles, and redesigning urban centers to more adequately respond to the environmental issues that we currently face will help.

- In places like the Netherlands, warmer summers have been more acutely felt in cities. This has forced a rethink of urban design to reduce the ability of artificial structures to reemit heat, and studies on how to climate-proof Dutch urban centers.↩
- Urban centers experience greater rain runoff, diminishing the ability of rain to significantly reduce the urban heat effect.↩
- Newark, New York, Chicago, and Houston are some of the cities with the severest heat islands. It is blamed on impermeable surfaces, building height, and albedo.↩
- Higher temperatures lead to an elevated demand for electricity, sometimes as much as 9% for every °F. Since fossil fuels are burnt to generate electricity, urban heat islands directly lead to poorer air quality.↩
- Away from urban centers, ground-level ozone pollution also affects agricultural production, as seen in China’s Yangtze basin, where rice and wheat production has significantly reduced. The reduction is blamed on this pollution by research↩
- PMP is not a single pollutant, but an assortment of emissions from several sources, which may or may not react while in the air.↩
- There is a direct and positive correlation between 03 concentration and the intensity of an urban heat island. There is also a strong correlation between land surface temperature and air pollution.↩
- Additionally, Arizona State University says that, while the urban heat island effect is most apparent during the warmer months, it is experienced in Phoenix throughout the year. The primary reason for this, according to the university, is urban sprawl – people are building farther and farther into the desert.↩
- OECD estimates that if we were to follow the current trajectory, there will be between 6 and 9 million pollution-related premature deaths by 2060. By then, it will cost 1% of GDP (2.6 trillion).↩
- Phoenix’s swimming pools have long been blamed for making the air humid. This is incorrect. Instead, though the overall effect is limited, man-made water bodies can indeed reduce temperatures by absorbing excess heat.↩


This plant has been a favorite for many years now. Once it gets going it can be truly impressive with large, glossy heart shaped leaves which as the plant matures have the distinctive perforated and deeply cut leaves. It originates from tropical rainforests where the aerial roots help it to climb up into the canopy, so as your plant grows you want to gently push the aerial roots into the moss covered pole. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a black plastic pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.
Home care: Keep it out of direct sunlight, ideally it likes a bright spot, and mist the leaves, particularly if the room is warm and dry. Also the leaves will appreciate being given a wash sometimes to keep them clean and dust free. This plant likes a moist soil but not a waterlogged soil, so in the winter feel the soil before you water it. In the summer you can water more freely.

Background: Three 'Skymaster' aircraft, each carrying eight tons of maise, took off from Salisbury airport, Southern Rhodesia, Jan 17, bound for Luluabourg, capital of the Congo's Kasai Province.
For the past few days these aircraft have been providing a shuttle service, ferrying the much needed grain into the famine stricken Province, where 200 people are dying of hunger every day. In all they will carry 100-tons of grain bought by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation from Southern Rhodesia's Grain Marketing Board.
The F.A.O. has undertaken the work of emergency famine relief of the 300,000 starving refugees in South Kasai. A senior official of the Organisation said "suitable seed must be available at airports in the neighbouring African countries at a minimum rate of 50-tons each day. Seeds for the coming crop season must be planted before the end of the first week in February if food is to be harvested later this year."
Since film and newspaper reports of the refugees plight have been published, world sympathy has been roused. Food, clothing, and money for relief have been pouring into international Red Cross organisations.

Buddhism & the Contemporary World
Change and Self-correctionBook - 1983
Charles Hartshorne characterizes this book as an eloquent and insightful presentation of the claims of Buddhism to the attention of thoughtful people in this country, especially those aware of the widely influential process philosophy and process theology of Whitehead." Stressing Buddhism as opposed to Western philosophy, Jacobson concentrates on the theme of the self-corrective nature of Buddhism, ending with a strong emphasis on self-surpassing Oneness." Introducing the reader to the major perspectives of Buddhist philosophy, he notes that the more fully awakened we become to the moments that are the real event, the more we will recognize how much we need each other to enrich these nows, and the less tempted we will be to serve that abstract and false self." Because everything on earth is a part of everything else, an organic whole, even the most enlightened self-interest is irrational and destructive. The rational person seeks to infuse the life we live with the novel qualities of each now." The rational person further struggles to free himself from the one-sided, self-justifying cultural cocoons that have dwarfed and warped his awareness and crippled cross-cultural communications," according to Jacobson. Buddhism offers the only alternative to the enervated economic, political, diplomatic, and military measures presently used to cope with underlying disaster."

Camden set to reject plans to bring leisure centres in-house amid council row
- Credit: Archant
Camden Council is tonight set to reject calls to bring leisure centre contracts back in house, with its cabinet instead expected to say an external provider should keep running them.
The issue has caused an internal row within the Labour group in the last few weeks, with some councillors keen for the council to run its own leisure facilities again.
The cabinet was due to approve plans to look for outside bidders to take on the contract to run its five centres in Swiss Cottage, Talacre, St Pancras, Covent Garden and Kentish Town.
According to cabinet papers, the option to bring the services back in house was looked at, but other councils they had examined required a subsidy to maintain service and “social value outcomes”.
The cabinet paper also said bringing it in house would mean Camden wouldn’t meet its medium-term financial strategy target of saving £1million a year.
The current 10-year deal with Greenwich Leisure Limited, which runs Better, ends in March 2020.
However, the disquiet about outsourcing was brought to the fore at a meeting of the Labour group in late January.
- 1 Man files complaint following 'unlawful arrest' by police officers
- 2 Barnet: Two men charged following fatal High Road stabbing
- 3 Covid-19: Hospital admissions and bed occupancy continue to fall
- 4 Businesses hail return of Highgate's Fair in the Square
- 5 Fears over large nitrous oxide cannisters found in Gospel Oak
- 6 First Muslim lord mayor of Westminster announced
- 7 Golders Green school rated 'inadequate' for second time
- 8 What is the rare 'monkeypox' being treated at the Royal Free?
- 9 Barnet: Three arrested as victim of fatal stabbing named
- 10 Gambles come back to haunt Arteta's Arsenal
During the local elections last year, the council said it would look at taking back services where the option became available.
One of those who was present at January’s Labour group meeting expressed their dissatisfaction with “the lack of work that had been done on the options apart from the one put forward”.
They said: “This has been a missed opportunity, and it flies in the face of the manifesto. There’s a feeling that there wasn’t enough political will behind bringing it back-in house.”
It’s believed the Labour group meeting did back bringing some of the leisure centres’ internal services back in-house bit-by-bit, over the course of a contract.
The council will look to put a non-performance break clause into any deal. Cabinet member for culture and the environment, Jonathan Simpson, told a scrutiny committee on February 12 it would cost £30million over a decade for Camden to run the leisure centres itself.
He said: “[This is] a substantial pressure, given the austerity we’re facing and the commitments we’re making to safeguard our libraries and youth services, and protect the poorest from council tax. As a council, we are actively pursuing bringing services in-house where we can and, where this isn’t feasible, driving social value through our contracts.”

RHUMBA musician, Clement Magwaza, will be promoting his new album titled Izulu Liyeza in the Matabeleland region next month as he wants people close to his Plumtree hometown, to have a live feel of the product.
The album which was launched in Johannesburg and Plumtree just before Christmas has six tracks, title track Izulu Liyeza, Umkami, Baba Kukhona Angangitshelanga Khona, Hamba Kancane, Ikhisimusi and Mwanangu.
Speaking from his Plumtree base, the musician said he decided to embark on the launch tour as a way of uniting and uplifting people.
“I chose to take the album on tour because I want the message on my songs to be spread out there and have an impact on the society. Also, I want those close home to have a live feel of my latest album,” said Magwaza.
“I’ll tour places that include my hometown Plumtree, Gwanda, Beitbridge, Binga, Tsholotsho and Nkayi. I’ll also perform at rural areas in those places.”
Magwaza urged fans to gear up for a breathtaking tour as he finalises the tour dates. The tour is expected to end during the Easter holidays.
Already, he has staged shows to promote the album in Francistown and Gaborone in Botswana with more shows lined up for neighbouring countries.
Having been in the music industry for two decades now is telling for the musician who has worked with Ndolwane Super Sounds as he has always produced songs that have captivated fans on the dancefloor. From this album, the track Umkami which advises men who abandon their families to change their ways, was on high rotation during the just ended festive season. – @mthabisi_mthire

PONTIAN: MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong is hoping that the 2023 Budget Review will give priority to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) to assist the sector and entrepreneurs involved in the sector, to restore their economic status.
The former Transport Minister said the SME sector was important because the SMEs contribute tremendously to the job market, providing for almost 65 percent of the work force in the country but there are businesses that have yet to recover fully after the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The SME sector contributes 38.3% to GDP and provides employment for over seven million people.
He hoped the government can look at ways to assist the SME sector in line with the country’s efforts to revive the economy after the Pandemic.
The nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of the pandemic resulted in a decline of all Malaysia’s economic sectors,”
“The business sector, including SMEs face a severe challenge due to the new policies and amendments to the Employment Act. The sector is also facing a shortage of workers and it is one area that need quick remedial action so that SMEs can continue to survive.
“The MCA has also prepared a memorandum to be handed to the government next week and that includes proposals for the revival of the SME sector,” he told reporters after attending a Chinese New Year Open House organised by the Tanjung Piai Parliamentary Constituency at Dewan Tunku Ibrahim Ismail, Pekan Nanas, here.
Wee added that business owners and entrepreneurs are eagerly waiting for the government’s reaction and assistance towards the business sector’s revival after the 15th General Election and these sector will welcome any form of assistance and support from the government.
Apart from the business sector, Wee said the memorandum also contained proposals concerning the welfare of the people.
It is hoped that many issues would be discussed in detail during the Parliament session which starts on Feb 13, he added.
“I also the government will also look at the shortage of eggs and overcome the problem since the fasting month is around the corner and followed by Hari Raya Aidilfitri,” he said.
On Jan 24, Wee was reported as saying that a memorandum related the 2023 Budget would be handed to the Prime Minister with the main subject matters involving the economic status, SME and Education. - Bernama

File photo shows BRICS leaders - (L-R) India's Manmohan Singh, Russia's Dmitry Medvedev, China's Hu Jintao, Brazil's Dilma Rouseff and South Africa's Jacob Zuma - at a summit on April 14, 2011.
Brazil has announced that the BRICS group of countries of which it forms part with Russia, India, China and South Africa, will meet in Washington next Thursday to discuss how to help the European Union in its latest debt crisis.
And China has said it stands ready to boost European investments.
The proposal for the BRICS to help "makes a lot of sense," but would have a limited impact, according to Alex Agostini, chief economist at Brazilian risk analysis firm Austin Rating.
"Everyone has to be involved in looking for solutions because the economy is globalised and the crisis has negative effects in all countries," Agostini told AFP.
Help from the emerging economies, which have grown faster in recent years than the major industrialised nations, "could help to temporarily reduce this moment of volatility but it won't resolve the problem" of structural weaknesses in the eurozone.
NK Singh, an Indian lawmaker, said the BRICS must help contain the crisis or risk a drop in exports due to exchange rate volatility and increased "protectionism".
Analysts believe the emerging powers can help by buying bonds of debt-ridden eurozone countries.
"All emerging countries have current account surpluses, not just China, which has the biggest foreign exchange reserves in the world with more than three trillion euros ($2.2 trillion)," said Agnes Benassy-Quere, director of the French CEPII economic research centre.
"To recycle these surpluses, rather than putting everything in gold or Swiss francs, it would not hurt them to buy Italian treasury bonds," she said.
International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has said emerging economies coming to the aid of Europe was "an interesting development".
"But if they limit themselves to buying bonds deemed safe by everyone, like the German and British (bonds), they wouldn't be taking much risk. My hope is that if interventions like this take place that they'll be large and not limited to certain states," she told Italian daily La Stampa.
This would mean buying bonds of which investors are fearful that they cannot be repaid in the long term.
The emerging countries may buy some, but are probably not ready to buy a lot of debt from eurozone countries currently feeling market pressure, said Bhanu Baweja, a specialist in emerging economies at the UBS financial services company.
The risk was too high, he said, and emerging countries facing their own domestic challenges.
Italy has admitted its finance minister met the head of China's largest sovereign wealth fund CIC last week, although officials said direct investments into companies rather than purchases of Italian government bonds was discussed.
The G7 group of rich countries -- Germany, Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom -- failed last week to find any answer to the global economic slowdown, and has turned for input to the G20, which also includes emerging states.
South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan told journalists Wednesday that "within the G20 context we're going to have these sorts of interactions which are useful".
But while emerging economies may be able to help, he said "the crisis in the eurozone is one that ... the Europeans themselves need to resolve."
Benassy-Quere said that emerging economies, notably China, can help Europe by "rebalancing growth towards domestic demand", which would allow rich countries to sell their products there.
If they do not do so now, the emerging markets may have no choice later, she added.
"If global growth slows down, emerging markets will no longer be able to rely only on their exports and will have to develop their domestic markets. They must accelerate this trend," the economist said.

ELLSWORTH, Maine — Two people were taken by ambulance to a local hospital Saturday afternoon after a head-on collision on Route 1 in front of Jordan’s Snack Bar.
The accident, involving a Toyota Camry sedan and a Pontiac Matrix SUV, happened just before 2:30 p.m. on the busy stretch of road.
Ellsworth police and fire officials were on the scene within minutes and placed two people into ambulances. They were taken to Maine Coast Memorial Hospital to be treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
It wasn’t clear what caused the accident. Police were still investigating the crash Saturday afternoon and did not release the names of anyone involved.
Traffic was diverted for about a half-hour, police cleaned debris from the road, and two trucks removed the vehicles.

SEOUL, Nov. 1 (Korea Bizwire) – A court has ruled in favor of an unfaithful spouse who sought a divorce from his wife, the first such case after the top court decided to have more exceptive clauses.
Overturning a lower court’s ruling, the appellate court at Seoul Family Court last month granted a divorce to the man, whose identity was withheld, who was blamed for their shattered marriage, court officials said Sunday.
The couple tied the knot 45 years ago but agreed to end the marriage 10 years later. Three years later, they reunited, but the husband soon cheated on the wife and had a baby out of wedlock.
After 25 years of living apart from his family without any contact or exchanges, the husband initiated the divorce proceedings against his wife in 2013, but it was dismissed in the original trial.
But the appellate court found no sufficient reason for them to maintain their legal relationship.
“While being separated for the 25 years, their marriage has effectively ended,” presiding Judge Min Yu-suk said in a ruling last month. “The plaintiff has also financially supported his children with the wife, and she now is financially stable.”
It is the first ruling after the Supreme Court allowed more exceptions in September while maintaining the country’s “fault divorce” system, in which the spouse responsible for the breakdown of the marriage is not allowed to file a divorce lawsuit.
In a 7-6 ruling, the top court said it is too premature to change the law in consideration of the country’s social and economic conditions. But it expanded the scope of grounds for exceptive cases: when the spouse at fault is taking care of his/her partner and children enough to make up for the fault and when enough time has passed to make it meaningless to place the blame.

Seven percent of Americans actually believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows, according to a survey we wish was part of some elaborate and long-winded April Fools joke.
The survey was commissioned by the Innovation Center for US Dairy, whose most frequently asked question online is, in fact: “Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?”
With remarkable politeness, the website informs visitors: "Actually, chocolate milk – or any flavored milk for that matter – is white cow’s milk with added flavoring and sweeteners.”
One might think this is a no-brainer, but apparently that’s not the case for roughly 16.4 million people across the country.
The study also found that 48 percent of respondents said they weren’t sure where chocolate milk comes from, that 37 percent of people secretly drank milk straight out of the container and that 29 percent use their kids as an excuse to buy chocolate milk so that they can drink it themselves.
In other dairy-related findings, the survey of over 1,000 adults reported that 95 percent of American have some kind of cheese in their fridge – so at least that’s promising.

Mecmesin ups the force with new 50kN force test system
Product News Monday, February 27, 2012: Mecmesin Limited
Mecmesin’s premium range of computer-controlled force test systems gain in loading ability, with the launch of a 50kN twin-column tester. The MultiTest 50-i joins Mecmesin’s family of affordable tension and compression measurement systems, popularly used within QC laboratories and by manufacturers worldwide, with complex applications, requiring sophisticated programming and post-test data interrogation tools.
This high capacity force test system marks a significant milestone for the company’s test system capabilities. An increased clearance between the columns of 420mm and sample height of up to 1330mm (measured without load cell or grips), means quality professionals can now measure tension and compression characteristics of larger, higher strength samples, with Mecmesin’s same high standard of performance and accuracy.
Controlled via Mecmesin’s windows-based Emperor™ software, users can create test routines to meet their exact specifications and changing needs. Tests can be viewed as a ‘live’ event, via a graphical display shown on a PC screen, enabling critical observation of sample performance. A suite of calculations provides ample post-test data interrogation tools to pinpoint and evaluate mechanical properties of every sample in intricate detail.
Where personnel safety or risk of contamination is a factor, a special guard can be adjoined to the system, sealing the test zone to prevent any accidental damage or injury.

Well that was interesting. Sitting around watching the tdf and browsing the forum, so I decided to try this spreadsheet to see how it compares to my fit that I've settled on over a few years of trial and error.
86cm inseam, 50cm arm-finger, 8-9 flexibility, 45 shoe, not many variables here are there?
Suggested top tube = 56.5cm
current best fitting frame = 56.5cm
Suggested saddle height = 76.5cm
Actual saddle height crank center - sit bone contact point = 76.5cm (really)
Suggested setback = 8.4cm
Actual setback = 8-9cm range
Suggested stem length for 56.5tt = 115mm
Actual stem length for 56.5tt = 120mm
Suggested drop = 8cm +/- 1cm
Actual drop = 8.5-9cm
Suggested crank length = 175mm
Actual crank length = 172.5mm
Interesting... I'm not sure how I would feel about 175mm cranks but maybe I should give them another shot one day. Also not sure if I would be on a 19" mountain bike like it says, my friends' 19" 29er is massive and I feel like 17" might be better. Similarly the 130mm mountain bike stem estimation is probably inaccurate for modern 29er geometry based on what I've seen.
Perfect fit. Congrats, and you did it trial and error
. As i know 29er are the same only bigger wheels. Yes your size is a 19. 2.5 mm in crank arm is not so much.

Hirokazu Koreeda's childhood fable is a small, poignant film that fulfils its humble ambitions
Somewhere between the cheery naturalism of Wong Kar-wai’s Chunking Express and the warm whimsy of Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, writer/director Hirokazu Koreeda’s I Wish delivers a slight, but powerful story about growing up. No Hollywood-style sentimental voiceovers or heavy-handed life lessons are on offer here, just a delicate, life-affirming story about family life recovering from a divorce.
Koichi (Koki Maeda) and the younger Ryunosuke (Ohshirô Maeda) have a strong bond, tested when Koichi is sent away to live in Kagoshima, where a nearby volcano is constantly spreading ashes over the surrounding area. Koichi wishes that the volcano would actually erupt, allowing him to return to his family home in Osaka. After hearing an urban legend which suggests that when two bullet trains pass each other for the first time, wishes are granted and miracles happen, Koichi and Ryunosuke arrange to meet up halfway along the tracks in Kyushu.
As with Shane Meadows’ Somers Town, I Wish was created as part of a rail-company sponsored project to promote their newest line, but despite the commercial reasons for its existence, Koreeda retains the same exquisite sensitivity demonstrated in previous films After Life, Nobody Knows and Still Walking. Anchored by delightful performances from the Maeda brothers, Koreeda’s film is shot through with moments of insight, compassionately observing a gallery of parents, grandparents and passers-by as the brothers close in on their destination. And there’s a bitter-sweet sense of reality about the enterprise; no-one suggests that the children’s dreams will actually come true, and the way that their dreams change artfully suggests a maturing process.
A small film with humble ambitions, I Wish is a gentle piece that children may find dull, but tearful adults will recognize that Koreeda captures the essence of childhood dreams.
Screening at GFT, Glasgow, Thu 7 Feb as part of the Glasgow Youth Film Festival. Selected release from Fri 8 Feb.

Apparently Blizzard and I have drastically different definitions of the term “Global Play.” I see it as a company offering unrestricted access for users to play with anybody around the world. Blizzard, well Blizzard respectfully disagrees.
Blizzard recently announced that Diablo III‘s servers will be region free, allowing you to forge alliances with no borders (their definition of ‘Global Play.’) The game’s servers will be split up into three regions – Americas (also including Australia and New Zealand,) Asia and Europe – but players won’t be locked into their region. However, it’s not the unrestricted access that you may assume.
For starters, every region you play in will require not only starting a new character, but you’ll also need to recreate your friends list from scratch. To top it off, while the normal gold auction house will apply regardless of region, the real world money auctions must be accessed by characters in your home region.
Sure, this is hardly the end of the world, but it doesn’t exact seem like true “Global Play” from where I’m standing. How about you? Is it worth your time rebuilding everything for new regions, or are you just going to stick with your home?

Stem cell breakthrough may allow same-sex couples to have their own biological children
Researchers at Cambridge University have taken the first steps towards creating artificial sperm and eggs by reprogramming skin cells from adults and converting them into embryonic-like stem cells. The team then compared the engineered stem cells with human cells from fetuses to confirm they were in fact, identical.
The same researchers will now attempt to complete the process by creating fully developed artificial sperm and eggs, either in a dish or by implanting them in a rodent. Once this is achieved, the technique could become useful for any individual with fertility problems, he said, including couples of the same sex.
“It has already caused interest from gay groups because of the possibility of making egg and sperm cells from parents of the same sex,” Dr. Jacob Hanna, an investigator with the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, told ABC News.
However, the prospect of creating a baby by these artificial means alone is probably a long way off, Hanna said.
