Yunnan fossil site placed on elite list
Updated: 2012-07-02 07:48
By Cheng Yingqi in Beijing and Guo Anfei in Yuxi, Yunnan (China Daily)
An area in Southwest China that boasts fossils dating back as far as 530 million years has been included on the World Heritage List.
The Chengjiang Fossil Site was among 36 sites being considered for the list by UNESCO's World Heritage Committee during its meeting from June 24 to July 6 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The natural area in Yuxi, Yunnan province, has become the second site in China to be included on the protected list in three days, according to a statement released on Sunday by the city of Yuxi.
On Friday, the Site of Xanadu in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region was included as a cultural site.
Deviating from its practice of previous years, the committee decided to choose the cultural sites first and delay the vote on natural sites until Sunday.
"That one day was like a whole year for me," said Li Yunping, a member of the Chinese delegation at the 36th session of the World Heritage Committee. The delegation arrived in Russia on June 23.
"Sometimes I felt like my heart couldn't take any more," she said, as she took her heart medication outside the convention hall.
However, after an eight-year wait - for world-heritage status, Chengjiang has become China's first world heritage fossil site.
On July 1, 1984, a researcher found fossils of naraoia, a marine creature that lived 530 million years ago in Yuxi. In 1997, the provincial government made the 1,800-hectare site a nature reserve, and Premier Wen Jiabao issued instructions in 2004 to protect the site.
"The Chengjiang site is the most concentrated, best-preserved and the most bio-diverse evidence of the Cambrian explosion worldwide," said Chu Zhongzhi, deputy director of housing and urban-rural development department for Yunnan.
The Cambrian explosion refers to the relatively rapid appearance of most major animal categories around 530 million years ago.
"Since we started applying for world-heritage status, government departments have worked together to overcome any difficulties," Chu said. "Now the site is inscribed on the World Heritage List, the ninth natural site in China, making it a valuable experience for us."
Before 2004, the Chengjiang area was a major phosphorous base, with 76 million metric tons of phosphorous ore. But government shut down all the 14 mining sites in a single week.
Since 2006, authorities have invested 77.38 million yuan ($12.18 million) to preserve the former mine sites.
According to reports on yunnan.cn, some animal fossils from Chengjiang have been smuggled out of China in the past 20 years, and in one case a naraoia fossil priced as high as 11,000 euros ($13,926) on the Internet. The report quoted local official Chen Ailin as saying great efforts had been taken to prevent smuggling.
"Now the Chengjiang site is China's first World Heritage Site of fossil, this has significance on the protection of all other fossil sites around China," said Wang Lixia, deputy director of the fossil expert committee's office under the Ministry of Land and Resources.
"As we know, fossils have scientific value. With the help of UNESCO, I believe we can improve cross-border cooperation on scientific research on the Chengjiang fossils," she said. "The better cooperation will surely benefit other fossil sites by creating some new means of cooperation."
Under its first fossil regulation, passed in 2010 and enacted in 2011, China prohibits the removal of fossils from a protected region without permission from the Ministry of Land and Resources, and excavating fossils outside the regions without the permission provincial-level authorities.
China obtained the return of more than 5,000 fossils from Australia, the United States, Canada and Italy between 2008 and 2010, according to the ministry.

An investment group is again pushing Google’s parent Alphabet Inc. to assess its internal whistleblowing program’s effectiveness, saying recent incidents suggest the company may have potential internal cultural or ethics problems.
For the second year in a row, Trillium Asset Management LLC submitted a shareholder proposal to Alphabet asking the tech giant’s board to oversee a third-party review of its effectiveness in whistleblower policies in protecting human rights.
“Investors for the most part are familiar with whistleblowing systems and protections and really prize whistleblower protections because, at the end of the day, they do protect long-term investors like Trillium,” said Jonas Kron, the firm’s chief advocacy officer.
The Boston-based firm’s proposal, which was submitted in December and could be voted on during Alphabet’s shareholder meeting this year, cited several examples of alleged retaliation against workers, saying the incidents were red flags about potential internal problems related to culture, ethics and human rights. Trillium’s proposal calls for the company to make the report public.

A chance encounter with an American WWII veteran leads John Gimlette, the award-winning travel writer, on an astonishing journey through France, Germany and Austria. This contemporary odyssey relives the last months of the war, passing through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and through cities that have risen from cinders."Panther Soup" is the story of that journey, a tale as rich, bleak and absurd as war itself. There's a colourful cast of survivors showing the way. But it's the American veteran, Putnam Flint, who served in the 824th Tank Destroyers (The Panthers), who guides the author through the emotions of that time. Now 86, he had been one of nearly three million Americans moving across the face of the continent. It was a journey of unimaginable scale and complexity, an armoured migration, a wheeled city rolling through Europe. For most of his life, Flint has lived with the memories of a tank-mangled sludge (the "Panther Soup") and finds himself once again speeding up the Rhone valley, re-living the camps, visiting the villages he'd shelled, and meeting the children of the battlefield, now elderly themselves.

Dolphins fans who clamored throughout last season for the team to run some read-option plays for then-rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill have a reason to rejoice. According to Sports Illustrated's Jamey Eisenberg, the Dolphins earlier this week disclosed that they will bring in a read-option scheme for Tannehill next season. Miami's decision to implement the scheme could be a result of the impressive ground yardage quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Colin Kaepernick accumulated via zone-read plays last season (815 and 415 yards, respectively). Or maybe the Dolphins simply watched this clip of Tannehill running through Oklahoma State like wildfire, and thought, "What the hell were we thinking by not giving this guy a healthy number of read-option plays last season?" Of course, Tannehill's considerable development as a pocket passer last season might've convinced the Dolphins' coaching staff to hold off on the read-option material. And the knee bruise he suffered midway through the 2012 season probably didn't help his dual-threat standing, either.
Read-option offense will bring its talents to South Beach

There is no question about it. Everybody loves cookies! It is something that people have learned to appreciate from childhood. Then, after a lot of experimenting and exposure cookie flavors aside from the one prepared by mom or granny, a person will be able to identify what his or her favorite cookie flavor is. Here are the top ten best cookie flavors.
10. Chocolate Cookies. It is established that in almost any kind of food that is available in different flavors, the chocolate-flavored one seems to always end up in the top three of the most loved flavor, if not the most. Cookies are no exception. Chocolate cookies – chocolate batter, chocolate chunks, some chocolate fudge, and probably chocolate sprinkles, is surely a delighting treat for chocolate lovers.
9. Peanut Butter Cookies. Peanut butter is another well loved base ingredient for different kinds of food such as sandwiches, ice cream, and even cookies! The nutty-sweet taste of it can drive people nuts. They just got to have their dose of peanut butter!
8. Oatmeal Cookies. Oatmeal may be known to have a bland, boring taste but Oatmeal Cookies are anything but bland. Made into cookies, it is sweetened and the oatmeal mixed with the batter creates an interesting texture. It is oatmeal that is best eaten not only for breakfast but all throughout the day.

5. Thumbprints. These cookies are anything but ordinary. Through to its name, the flavor of each cookie can be as unique as people’s thumbprints. You can add any flavor and jam of your choice and you can make batches with different flavors. It is one attractive kids especially loved by kids.
4. Ginger Cookies. Some may wonder how ginger would taste good on a cookie when it does not taste good in much of other kinds of food. It is because the strong flavor of the ginger is mellowed by the batter and contrasted by the sweetness of the cookies.
3. Shortbread. It is as simple as 1, 2, and 3. Flour, sugar, and batter is everything one need to create this simple, yet tasty treat.
2. Black and White Cookies. If you are undecided about your favorite between the regular chocolate and white chocolate, you do not need to feel pressured to choose since you can have both with Black and White cookies!
1. Chocolate-chip Cookies. You can enjoy bits of chocolates without the overwhelming taste of it when used in every component of the cookie. The taste of the chocolate chip is enhanced better against the plain cookies.

Disney Research Pittsburgh has just released the video below which demonstrates one of its latest projects: an audio animatronic robot that can interact with people by playing catch with them. The system uses an off-the-shelf Microsoft Kinect (according to the video’s narration) along with an external camera system (ASUS Xtion PRO LIVE) to locate balls and a Kalman ?lter to predict ball destination and timing. So not only is the robot able to track a human’s position and size by the location of their head, but it can attempt to move its hand to catch the ball. If the robot misses the catch, it’s fully aware and even responds with one of several different humorous animations to elicit a response from the person interacting with it.
Disney Research has also been able to use its system to successfully juggle up to three balls at a time when a professional juggler is used as the participant.
According to the video and its description, Disney Research is hopeful that this product leads to a fully interactive experience between guests and audio animatronics in environments such as theme parks, while managing to keep the guest a safe distance from the robots.

California's effort to cap carbon emissions by gasoline refiners, utilities and other large polluters will have little impact on consumers and businesses in the state while creating up to 623,000 new jobs over the next decade, according to a new report.
Next 10, a San Francisco nonprofit group that supports green technology, estimated the state's cap-and-trade program will increase electricity costs by an average of 2.3 percent percent to 4.1 percent per household by the year 2020.
The forecast – which comes a week before the California Air Resources Board's will vote on whether to approve the new rules for its cap-and-trade program – provides a sharp contrast to industry arguments that the state's climate change law will destroy thousands of jobs and increase electricity bills by at least 20 percent.
"There's very minimal impact on the California economy and there's very minimal impact on energy prices," said F. Noel Perry, Next 10's founder.
"Businesses are not going to get up and leave (the state) because of cap-and-trade."
A key component of the state's landmark climate change law, the cap-and-trade program essentially places a ceiling on the amount of carbon emitted by the state's 500 largest polluters.
The program – which will begin operating in 2012 – allows companies that emit less carbon than their allowed amounts to sell their unused allowances to companies that pollute heavily, creating powerful market incentives for the companies to reduce emissions voluntarily.

From exclusively using San Marzano tomatoes to importing artisanal Italian cheeses, Monno’s pizzas are made using only fresh and natural ingredients imported from Italy each week.
For Dubai diners who like their pizza prepared in true Neapolitan style, look no further than artisanal Italian eatery Monno Ristorante in Jumeirah this World Pizza Day on February 9, where handmade pizzas are prepared using fresh Italian ingredients, recipes passed down through generations, and age-old Italian cooking techniques to ensure authentic taste and texture in every slice.
From exclusively using San Marzano tomatoes to importing artisanal Italian cheeses, Monno’s pizzas are made using only fresh and natural ingredients imported from Italy each week that are carefully calibrated and prepared, to deliver a nostalgic journey of the country’s most cherished culinary traditions. From the pizza dough to the tomato sauce, everything is made in-house at Monno using the all-Italian ingredients, with different pizza options available throughout the year in accordance with the seasonality of produce.
Shaped by hand, Monno’s must-try pizzas include the ‘Salamino di Wagyu’ with spicy wagyu beef salami and smoked mozzarella, as well as the ‘Burrata’ pizza with double tomato sauce, fresh basil, creamy burrata and extra virgin olive oil – both of which are best-sellers at the restaurant.
Not forgetting the indulgent ‘Tartufo Fresco’ with fior di latte mozzarella from Napoli, stracciatella cheese and fresh seasonal truffle shaven on top, as well as the ‘Prosciutto Cotto e Porcini’ with San Marzano DOP tomato sauce, mozzarella fior di latte from Napoli, veal ham, porcini mushrooms and oregano.

Served fresh from Monno’s custom-built, classic pizza oven, diners can expect the warming and comforting smell of freshly baked pizza to hit their nose as soon as they enter the restaurant. Once presented to diners, pizzas are hand-cut with scissors – as done in Naples – to ensure precision and that all ingredients remain in place on the thin base and the pillowy crust continues to stand fluffily and crispy.
“As we see in a city abundant with pizza restaurants, there are many ways to prepare pizza. Being Italian myself and working in a restaurant that prides itself on staying true to Italian culinary traditions, we ensure guests at Monno will find traditional Neapolitan pizza here – the kind you’d expect to find on the streets of Italy. We import everything from Italy to ensure the taste, texture and presentation is as it would be in Italy,” said Head Chef Federico Bartoli.
Monno presents a wholesome and authentic Italian experience in a charming, casual and rustic space that welcomes all ages. Soothing music greets upon arrival, while a chilled-out neighbourhood vibe ensures a relaxing visit – whether it be for a leisurely lunch with family, or a romantic dinner date with a loved one, Monno is abundant with laidback idyllic moments for everyone this World Pizza Day.

First of all, let me tell you this article is not about self-pity or written to garner sympathy. It’s about my experiences and my journey of growing up as a beautiful confident young woman. The only purpose of this article is to urge people to consider our skin tones are normal.
I was born in Patna with a little pigmented skin, but we call it as 'dark complexion' and with a not very well contoured face or a sharp jawline. I was an average girl, but my parents always treated me like a princess.
Even during teenage, I never got attention from the opposite sex. I have often wondered why, as an innocent girl of 15, I was not aware of the biases our society has been plagued with. The first encounter I had of being called 'Dark and Ugly' was when a few people came to our house for a Roka ceremony. A woman who was getting ready in my room said, "Hey, it would be really difficult for you to get married as you are too dark and there is a high probability of you bearing a pigmented kid." I was taken aback as I had never thought this was one of the parameters for being beautiful or desirable. Since then, I realized that dark skin somehow or the other gets equated to being ugly and undesirable.
"Hey, it would be really difficult for you to get married as you are too dark."
Perplexed with all this negativity, I decided to talk about this to my mother and that was the day I came to know about my identity. Firstly, she told me to remember you are born as a woman and our society is dominated by men. Secondly, we are Dalits. People consciously or subconsciously might even judge you for this and thirdly, you were born with a dark complexion which the society does not consider as beautiful. I still remember the day, my mother had baked a cake for me and we were sitting on our tiny balcony, and she was listening to all the woes and was trying to calm me down while explaining every little possible humiliation, I might have to go through, in life. Ahh, how to forget, whenever I would accompany my mother for weddings or some get together, I would be bombarded with beauty tips all across the world from Multani mitti to Kesar. I am really grateful to all the people for their constant struggle to make me beautiful.
Firstly, she told me to remember you are born as a woman and our society is dominated by men. Secondly, we are Dalits. People consciously or subconsciously might even judge you for this and thirdly, you were born with a dark complexion which the society does not consider as beautiful.
Finally, I grew out of Patna got an admission in the prestigious St. Stephens College to study history and came to Delhi. Breathing fresh air of freedom and being proud of my achievements albeit short-lived. I came to know about 'Reservation' and how my admission was considered not on merit but because of government policies, again, I got a call from a few of my well-wishers, congratulating me with a pinch of sarcasm. Here unfolds the second subconscious humiliation of being born as a Dalit.
“Aarre yaar uska admission toh quota se huya hain naah.”
Yes, I am a Dalit A proud Dalit. I am happy about my identity to call me low-born or untouchable or a Dusadh. I am proud and happy about it. My identity has given me the confidence to stand up and speak for myself and I am never ashamed of it. I know I am beautiful I don’t need your words of consolation that “chehra pa pani bahut hain” or “you are so smart and intelligent” with a smirk. I am beautiful with my skin colour and I Don’t Wish To Be Fair And Lovely I Am Happy Being Dark And Ugly.
Yes, I am a Dalit A proud Dalit. I am happy about my identity to call me low-born or untouchable or a Dusadh.
People often compliment on how exotic we look, we might be exotic for white people not for our fellow Indians. You know what the worst is when I talk about this in social gatherings, women and men with lighter skin tone would come to me say, "Oh you are so beautiful and these days it doesn’t matter." I feel pity how oblivious you are of your social and cultural capital, you are born with. Women with lighter skin tone have even said to me, "I wish I had your skin tone."
Please stop making us feel that our skin colour is different, while assuring that it's beautiful, why can’t it be normal? I haven’t heard anyone say it to a fair woman, "your skin colour is beautiful," and why because it adheres to the societal norm of being beautiful.

Testing aparatus NC 50
>Modern compression ignition engines are distinguished from older types by their higher power outputs and better fuel combustion, which brings with it a decrease in the content of harmful substance in the exhaust gas, low specifi c fuel consumption, prolongation of the engine life, and the reduction of necessary maintenance to a minimum. Better fuel combustion is also greatly helped by the injector and the injection nozzle.
To enable checking of the correct function of the injectors and injection nozzles in operation, Motorpal Jihlava, s.c. builds the well tested NC 50 testing apparatus, intended primarily for repair shops and service stations. It is designed to be affixed to the work bench as a stable, immovable fixture.

I’ve always accompanied work in selected galleries with a range of greetings cards. Cards are a small way for people to get hold of a picture of my work without having to pay the full price for the original. Making a greetings card is even better than a framed print because it suits people from all walks of life and is great for people on a budget.
I’m always careful to cover my costs but am never too greedy; in fact, my cards are cheaper than many commercially available greetings cards. The photograph is directly of the original artwork itself before framing so the image is as perfect as it can be. Also, I only print photographs professionally on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper with archive inks and finish. This means if you frame one of my greetings cards and hang it in direct sunlight then it won’t start fading for another half a millenium at least.
Oh yes, and all my greetings cards are limited edition to a ridiculously small number so once they’re gone they’re gone, never to be repeated. For me, it’s about getting about as close to owning a slice of the real thing as you can get. It’s about knowing that you’re buying quality, for yourself or for someone close to you. It’s about having something you know the artist cares deeply about and connecting directly with the artwork you’ve seen in the gallery.
I’m selling these greetings cards exclusively through The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir. This latest batch have been created to coincide with A World of Work exhibition which opens next Thursday. Each design is limited to only 20 greetings card so you’ll have to be fast if you want one. Each image is taken from the Structured Chaos series which I created in collaboration with Ben Honebone. The originals of the images you see here will be hanging in the gallery when you visit.
That’s it. Shameless plug for my merchandise done for the day. Greetings!

Tips for raising money-wise kids
Kids are never too young to learn the skills of saving, budgeting, and other basics for becoming a money-wise individual.
In fact, T. Rowe Price's 2014 Parents, Kids & Money survey found that 60 percent of kids whose parents frequently talk to them about budgeting feel they are smart about money, as opposed to just 34 percent of kids whose parents do not.
Financial experts agree that the sooner parents start imparting key money concepts, the more effective they will be in raising financially responsible adults. While it may seem like an involved topic, it's as simple as starting a conversation.
"There is a clear correlation between talking with kids about financial topics and their habits," said Judith Ward, a senior financial planner with T. Rowe Price. "Parents can invest in their kids by talking to them weekly about money matters."
The survey also found that parents are having more financial conversations with boys rather than girls.
"Boys and girls should have the same opportunities to learn about money matters at home so they can grow into financially savvy adults," Ward said. "By talking to kids of either gender about things like saving for college, parents can help kids get involved and excited about their future."
Tips for starting money conversations: First, learn to engage in frequent money conversations with your kids. While you can sit down to discuss in a formal manner, casual dialog may be more effective and memorable. From trips to the grocery store to a visit to your neighborhood bank, there are plenty of real-world situations where you can teach your kids about spending, saving, and other money concepts.
Ward offers these tips to help parents initiate conversation:
When discussing weekend plans: When your kids plan for weekend fun with friends, ask them how much the activities will cost. Find out if they have budgeted for these expenses and if they are saving for any other upcoming events.
When talking about their future: Ask your child what they wish to be when they grow up. This is a great opportunity to talk about what kind of college degree may be required for the profession, how much getting the degree can cost, and the need to save for it in advance.
When talking about extracurricular activities: When talking about extra activities like soccer, dance, karate, piano lessons and others, talk with your kids about the cost of each. Help them understand that all of these add up to a lot of money, so they can help you save by only doing the ones they really enjoy.
Use these simple tips to help integrate money conversations into your daily lives — your kids will thank you later.

Jones was struck by the puck after a shot by Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov ricocheted on the way to the net. Jones went down immediately and needed assistance leaving the ice with 6.8 seconds to go in the period.
The Predators said he was receiving stitches for his injury and announced just before the second intermission that he would not return.
Jones' ice time has decreased significantly lately. The rookie has an average of 21:57, but he hadn't played more than 15:14 in the six games prior to Saturday.
He has three goals and seven assists in 35 games, with a minus-10 rating.
It's cool when you think about how many great American players have played the game and the two players that were at that 18-game point streak and what they've done in their careers. It's pretty cool right now, but it was kind of overshadowed by the loss.

What if we could charge electric vehicles with existing wall-mount outlets? There will be no need for expensive charging stations. Geo-Line from South Korea developed a solution that utilizes the existing outlets as charging spots so that any country can build the EV charging-payment infrastructure fast and cheap.
Detailed Solution description
Lack of charging stations is one of the major barriers to expanding the number of electric vehicles (EV) on the road. The installation of charging stands is not only expensive, but may also cause problems in public buildings and apartments as it requires EV only parking spaces. In countries like South Korea where there is an ample number of multi-unit buildings and apartments, this is a major hurdle that needs to be overcome. Another issue is the long waiting time during charging. Even the fast chargers take at least 20 minutes to charge and the driver has to wait by the car in the meantime.
Wall-mount home chargers are available for individual households, but it is exclusively used by the household and cannot be shared with others.
All these challenges are hindering the drivers from buying electric vehicles, which leads to delayed distribution of EV.
Geo-Line’s PLUG&PAY is a simple and economical way of solving all of the above challenges using the current infrastructure. Merely by replacing the existing outlet with the anti-power-theft SPSS socket, the outlet becomes a secured charging spot. When the authorized member plugs in the mobile charger into the SPSS socket, the locational and charging data is transmitted to the PLUG&PAY server, and the payment is automatically processed. No action is required by the driver other than plugging and then paying the monthly bill.
The outlet owner is not influenced by sharing electricity, as the power company adjusts the bill with reference to the EV charging data received from PLUG&PAY.
The solution is ideal for residents of multi-unit buildings and apartments and for office buildings, where installation of charging stands is socially and economically impractical.
Rather than ‘going to charging stations’, Geo-Line proposes ‘charge whenever you park’.
When charging becomes a part of the daily life, where no more than one minute is spent in charging, the barrier to electric vehicles will be significantly lowered, leading to an increase in the percentage of clean transportation on the road.
- Charging and payment is simple – just plug.
- A fast and economical way to build charging infrastructure – just replace the existing outlet with an SPSS.
- No waiting time – just plug and leave.
- Less CO2 emission during production and sales due to its smaller size compared with the larger charging stations.
- No standby power SPSS socket means no CO2 emission.
Launch DateProject in progress with preliminary experiments since
2015 and the official launch will be in March 2016.

Pastor Tony Evans Encountering The Power of God
By Hedieh Mirahmadi
Pastor Evans does this wonderful exhortation on how the extraordinary power of God can be made manifest in our lives through a dilemma. He uses the Israelites at the Red Sea being saved from Pharaoh as an analogy.
The Israelites at the Red Sea experienced the greatest demonstration of God’s power in the midst of their dilemma. God specifically LED them the long way to demonstrate his miracle. We must remember it is never just about ourselves. The purpose God puts on our life is to advance the Kingdom, so it’s always greater than just you or I. It is about His glory being made manifest on Earth. He allows us to get into a situation that only HE can get us out of. The dilemma God leads you into will often confuse you as well. Sometimes God will put you in a dilemma and doesn’t want you to do anything but stand still. So you do. But when he gives you the way out or a command to move forward, you move! Faith often operates in the presence of fear. The Jews proceeded forward even though they were afraid. Sometimes He will even harden the heart of others to push you in the direction he wants you to go. This is so beautiful because it’s at the essence of forgiveness. There is no need to hold grudges against people, because in reality, it was God’s will for it to happen to you. When we’re walking in God’s way He will make people do things for our good. So look at the dilemmas in your life in a new way. Stop complaining, and wait for God’s power to come. If you know you are not living in accordance with the will of God, then get in the will of God so he can turn your situation around. Walk in faith. Relish the adventure of being God’s loyal soldier.
I know about my own life experiences that God led me through the “wilderness” so that I would know it’s been His hand over my life the whole time. He took me first through the bondage of a life of sin, then to the “law of Islam,” and then back to a life of sin and despair so that I could truly experience the freedom and salvation that comes through Christ. I knew I had to leave Islam, but the situation I got myself into was so bad! I had no idea where God was taking me, and it just felt like I was blindfolded and dragged down a long tunnel.
I was so confused. “God, why am I in this place, how did I get HERE? Don’t You love me anymore? Wasn’t I a faithful servant, why am I in such a wretched state?” I know now He wanted to bring me to my knees, and that wasn’t easy. He wanted me to have no way out but Him, no matter how unbelievable it was. There was no other way I would have accepted Christ was Lord! Knowing God’s hand has been over me the whole time brings me peace and allows me to forgive the people who hurt me, because all of it brought me to where I am today. God wanted me to see His power and to grant me salvation. I feel such deep gratitude and joy for my salvation that I could thank the people who pushed me away.
This whole journey gives me the unique opportunity to help others find this same freedom. We overcome by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony. God in all of his glory showed up in the image of Christ and redeemed me. Now that is why I feel compelled to help others.
Now becoming a follower of Christ, I came up against the whole Islamic world and risked physical danger. Yet, I know it’s not my battle. It’s the Lord’s. It’s bigger than me. I’m walking according to my purpose that He has placed within me and He will protect me. “You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.”
God has made us victorious over our enemies, if we trust Him to lead us through the difficult times. We may not see the wisdom at first, but He makes it all work in our favor. If we surrender to His will and open our hearts, we can walk according to our Divine purpose and learn the wisdom He teaches us along the way.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did this.
When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. 7He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.
As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”
Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”

Mayara grew up in Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil and Latin America. She was a teenager surrounded by millions of people, technology, and everything the modern world could offer. But she still felt empty. In search of Brazil's roots, she traveled to indigenous, quilombola (communities founded in 19th century by runaway slaves), and rural communities. She was searching for women who could answer her questions. She found them. She calls them, Women of Earth.
Women of Earth beautifully reveals the priceless wisdom that has been preserved by midwives in Brazil for years. I was moved by the strength of the women depicted and feel grateful to have contributed to the project. I hope the film inspires others as it has truly inspired me – to honor the world around us and continue to empower women everywhere.
Women of Earth is a timely and important film documenting the importance of women leadership, not only in supplying essential health (and birth) services to their communities, but in helping those communities define themselves and grow. It is a must see film for anyone interested in social innovation that actually work for the very poor and disadvantaged.
Woman of the Earth lit a fire within me to reclaim my ancestors’ Medicine. This not only is a documentary, but a call to action for the next generation to keep these traditions and stories alive.
In an age where most people trust technology more than nature, Women of Earth gives a visual and narrative depiction of the wisdom of traditional medicine as well as the tremendous gifts that elder midwives are to their communities. I hope this film moves and inspires younger generations to become stewards of the land, of women’s health, and of birth, and to reaffirm the wisdom that nature has to offer.
A beautiful depiction of how several midwives have made a lasting and positive impact in their rural communities in Brazil. The film hopefully will inspire successful actions to improve the lives of women in Brazil and around the world.
Women of Earth will take you on an unforgettable journey from the megalopolis of São Paulo, where some people have all the material things they wish to have, but still feel empty, to rural communities –deep in Brazil’s hinterland– where women are the pillars and guardians of ancestral knowledge. They are community leaders because they maintain a strong bond with the forces of Nature, and are as deeply rooted as the trees and the plants that they use to heal others. They are the guardians of natural balance because they apply their ancestral wisdom to help other women give birth. They oversee the whole cycle of life for all living beings in their communities and beyond. Beautifully filmed and masterfully written and directed, Women of Earth also makes a great contribution to the other task that these indigenous healers must comply with: passing on their ancestral knowledge to future generations of women.

Country Chat - Jan 2019
1st January 2019. Another year done and dusted and each year they seem to fly by faster than ever. Once again we’ve achieved our mission – producing 36 new CDs, three each month and nearly always reaching the deadline of having them ready for release around the first day of the month. The exception is this month’s when we’ll be a few days late; I hope our subscribers (our Archive Buddies) will excuse us and will find this month’s releases well worth waiting the extra few days for.
First on the list comes Kenny Roberts a top yodeller in his profession with 28 great songs. In my opinion there are few better yodellers in the world of Country Music. On a couple of tracks he is joined by Elton Britt, who must rank along side Kenny as one of the all time greats as far as yodelling goes. Others heard backing Kenny on some tracks are Tommy Sosebee, The Down Homers and The Pine Toppers.
Our second album is an old favourite from the 1960s, Warner Mack, who will be well remembered by the second generation of Country Music fans. These songs are from his collection of Country Music hits Volume one and two with a few extra added to extend the playing time to 70 minutes. Some fine takes on popular country songs from the 1950s and ‘60s.
Finally, a treat for Western Swing enthusiasts – Pre War Western Swing Volume 2. This includes 33 Western Swing items recorded from the radio before 1942 and we must thank Ken Coffey for all the effort putting this together including the exhaustive research work. The recordings are rare and mostly not previously released and because they are radio recordings the sound quality is not always the best but I think fans of the genre will really enjoy hearing these lost treasures. Nice mix of styles and performers – some top names like Pee Wee Kings’ Golden West Cowboys, Rex Griffin, Texas Jim Lewis, W’ Lee ‘O’Daniel and His Hillbilly Boys and some less known.
So, those our January CDs and by the time you get them Christmas will be just a memory. But we hope that you had a great time with your families and friends.
This will be our 17th year in the production of BACM CDs, bringing the catalogue to 618 CDs! I never thought that we would reach that in my lifetime and I must admit it gives us some satisfaction having brought back so many recordings from country music’s golden years to new audiences. It doesn’t get easier as the years move on but it’s a labour of love, we do enjoy what we are doing and we are buoyed by the appreciative letters and emails we get from so many fans and enthusiasts from around the world.
Don’t forget as well as our main catalogue (the 618 CDs, historic recordings from the early 1920s to early 1960s aimed at core collectors) we also have our Chart Memories series. This is a new series of popular Country and crossover CDs, featuring top chart hits from 1957 to 1962, with the likes of Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins, Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis and so many others who brought a country tinge to the pop charts through those years. For each year, we have compiled the ‘Top 100’ country songs on a set of four CDs – check the website to see the titles. Subscribers (Archive Buddies) can buy them at half price, just £20.00 per set. Single CDs cost just £5.00 each (Buddies) 50% off the regular price.
Closing here as we’re busy preparing next month’s releases, sending warmest greetings to all our customers and friends and take care, life is precious!
From all the team here,
That’s the BACM BOYS, DAVE BARNES, BRIAN GOLBEY and BARRY FARNES and all our side kicks who do so much helping with our work. > > >

More than fifty years after the (partial) decriminalization of homosexuality in England and Wales (1967), the United Kingdom is opening its first LGBTQ+ museum (short for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer). Queer Britain has thus joined the small group of museums dedicated to the LGBT+ community, started by the Schwules Museum in 1985 and soon to be joined by the LGBT+ Museum in New York in 2024.
It is in Granary Square, in the London district of King’s Cross, that Queer Britain opens its doors. Established by the association that bears his name, he occupies part of the building rented to him by the British charity Art Fund, for at least two years.
“Preserve, Explore, and Celebrate the History and Ideas of the LGBT+ Community”Queer UK has such an ambition on its website. “Strange people have influenced every aspect of culture, but often their lives have been written on the edge of the history books. Stories and objects are lost”Is it indicated on its site.
It’s not about excluding anyone representing all communities “regardless of their sexuality, gender identity, origin, abilities or heritage”Anjum Mauj, one of the board members of the Queer Britain Museum, says.
The museum relies on a variety of media, audio-video and artistic, to represent “The Rich Diversity of the LGBT Community, Past and Present”, The place of choice for photography. Thus it shows deputy Leo Abbes who proposed legislation decriminalizing male homosexuality, the first footballer to admit his homosexuality, Justin Fasano, or Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, who contributed to the fight against AIDS.
