The 2017 legislative session kept the Judicial Section busy this year. The Legislative Committee and its chair, Hon. Alfonso Charles, monitored over 8,000 bills and appeared and testified on a number of them. The four legislative subcommittees: Civil Justice, chaired by Justice Brett Busby; Criminal Justice, chaired by Judge Jean Hughes; Juvenile Law, chaired by Judge Gene Calvert; and Family Law, chaired by Judge Tim Womack; assisted with the monitoring. The section worked hard to implement the Judicial Compensation Commission’s recommendation for a pay increase to the judiciary, which would be the first since 2013. The section supports the Judicial Compensation Commission’s recommendation of 10.2 percent. Judicial Section Chair-elect Judge Jennifer Rymell chaired the Communications Task Force, working on a multi-year effort to upgrade the section’s website. Ethics Committee Chair Justice Lee Gabriel assisted with the updating of the Ethics Opinions portion of the new website by making it searchable and more user-friendly.

Pirelli has insisted that its tires for the 2014 Formula One World Championship are safe following a Twitter report from Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg that he suffered a high-speed blowout during the final day of this week’s tire test in Bahrain.
Before deleting it from his account (possibly due to influence from either Pirelli or Mercedes), Rosberg’s missive read: “Just spun at full speed 320km/h on Bahrain straight because my tyre blew up without warning.thanks to that need to get some toilet paper now..”
Afterwards, Pirelli noted in a statement that the tire that failed on Rosberg’s car had yet to be tested on the track:
“The tyre tests in Bahrain regarded a number of prototypes, which were completely innovative in terms of structure and compounds, with the aim of developing the most suitable solutions for the next season. This morning, Nico Rosberg’s Mercedes was fitted with one of these prototypes, a tyre which had only been tested in the laboratory and which will not be proposed again. Thus, the safety of the tyres which will be supplied for the next championship is not in question. The accident which happened to Rosberg’s car is being investigated and the findings will be communicated to the FIA and the teams.”
Prior to Rosberg’s tweet, things had been quiet in terms of news regarding the test from Bahrain, which also included World Champions Red Bull (with reserve driver Sebastien Buemi), Ferrari (Pedro de la Rosa and Marussia racer Jules Bianchi) and Toro Rosso (2014 race drivers Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniil Kvyat).
The Bahrain test was meant to help Pirelli as it continues to prepare its tires in advance of major rules changes for the 2014 season. With multiple problems suffered this past year – including several tire failures during the British Grand Prix – Pirelli is doing all it can to avoid more disasters.

Here are a few of my Begonia talienis 'marbled leaf form'. They are getting better and better every month it is a shame winter is coming. Now I have to wait to select the best ones to cross.
Re: Begonia taliensis "marbled leaf form" (China, ...
I would bet you could get lots of the Begonia's that get bulbils to overwinter especially if you put a thick layer of leaves other them for the winter. I put a 12 inch layer of leaves over my Taro plants. It doesn't get warm fast enough here so I lay them on thick and it keeps them from going dormant all the way down to the bulbs the growing stems just sit there leafless till spring under the leaves and then I remove them as the temperature gets warmer in April or so.
Nice Begonia taliensis specimens. Some can get Begonia grandis to overwinter here in zone 4.


Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, says he would not have joined the 2023 presidential contest if his Kano State counterpart, Abdulahi Ganduje was also in the race.
Wike who made this known on Monday during a courtesy call on i Ganduje in Kano, said that Nigeria was bleeding and they needed people like himself to rescue it, adding that Nigerians must begin to talk about the unity and togetherness of the country beyond party lines.
“There is no gainsaying that the country is not getting it right and there should be a desperate effort to save the country, and by this, I’m out to right the wrongs.”
However, Wike agreed that should Ganduje be contesting the presidency, he wouldn’t have tried to contest because he knew he would not make it.
“If Ganduje is running for the Presidency, some of us will quickly withdraw our ambitions, but thank God he is not running and I’m sure he will help me to make it.”
Wike, who is eyeing the 2023 presidential seat under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to disband the two anti-graft agencies in the country, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC.
He hinged his call on the recent granting of pardon to some former governors convicted of corruption.
“By granting pardon to the former governors, President Buhari has disgraced the EFCC and the ICPC and should immediately disband them.”
In his address, Governor Ganduje explained that the diversity of the Wike presidential team was Nigeria, and this clearly shows that the man believes in the greatness of Nigeria.
“Party differences should not make us stupid, our diversity is an advantage, even though we failed to utilize our diversity, each one of us must try in his own bid to change the status quo.”
He called on the Nigerian governors to be responsible for national integration, using their states and should act and see people as part of themselves by allowing them to own properties.

Richard Wolowicz/Getty ImagesNHL: Fresh from a convincing 6-0 win against the New York Islanders this weekend, the Bruins headed north to Montreal to try their 9th consecutive win Monday evening.
The Bruins got off the the early 1-0 lead in the 1st after Andre Ference managed to get the puck past Habs netminder Carey Price. And that would be it as far as the scoring from either side was concerned- Tim Thomas would turn aside all 33 shots he faced while Carey Price turned aside 17 of 18 shots faced. The Bruins even managed to kill a double-minor that was assessed to them late in the 2nd period.
The last person to score against the Bruins was the Blue Jacket's Derek MacKenzie in the 2nd period of the November 17 game against Columbus. Tim Thomas now has a career regular season total of 29 shutouts (after heading into this past weekend with 27). Monday night's win also puts the Bruins in 1st place in the Northeastern Conference (tied with the Sabres for points, but Boston gets the tiebreaker after winning the only head-to-head matchup so far).
Speaking of Buffalo, the Bruins will travel next to western New York to take on the Sabres who are coming off a 4-2 loss to Phoenix over the weekend. The puck drops at 7 PM Eastern time and the game will be televised on NESN and the MSG network.
I have to say, I figured it would only be a matter of time before the Bruins broke out of their slump and got their proverbial shit together- but this was taking place much sooner than I anticipated. Nothing puts that crappy October in the rearview like a 9-0 November.
ELSEWHERE IN THE NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Center Sidney Crosby returned to the ice for the first time since January on Monday night, tallying 2 goals and 2 assists in the Penguins 5-0 win over the Islanders at Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center.
Crosby was sidelined with concussion-like symptoms after receiving multiple hits to the head on two different nights in January of 2011.
Jim Rogash/Getty ImagesNFL: As it tuns out, week 11 was bookended by a couple of games that were pivotal to the AFC East playoff picture.
Heading into Monday night's game, the Patriots were well aware that they could increase their lead on the Jets after their Thursday night loss at Denver. New England had an AFC West opponent of their own on Monday Night's nationally televised game as they took on the 4-5 Kansas City Chiefs.
When they scheduled this game, they probably figured it would be some sort of reunion between former Kansas City QB Matt Cassell and some of his former teammates in New England. However, Cassel ended his season after breaking his hand last week, with the Chiefs starting Tyler Palko instead.
The Kansas City defence, beset by similar injury woes as the Patriots, were able to pressure Tom Brady, occasionally giving extra coverage to receivers like Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. After a penalty inside the Patriots 10 pushed them back, the Chiefs would get on the board first with a 25 yard FG from Ryan Succop to give KC the early 3-0 lead.
Feeling pretty aggressive, the Chiefs attempted an onside kick, only to hand the ball to New England after one of the Chiefs players touched it before it had travelled the minimum of 10 yards. The Patriots would get as far as the Chiefs 30 before Brady was sacked and KC recovered the fumble, although nothing came from their ensuing possession.
The Patriots finally got on the board with 4:18 to go in the 2nd quarter after Brady connected with Rob Gronkowski at mid-field before he ran along the sidelines to put New England up 7-3. New England would then get good field position after CB Kyle Arrington intercepted a tipped pass from Tyler Palko and returned it for 28 yards. The Chiefs, however, managed to lock things down after the Patriots got as far as the KC 3 yard line, meaning that New England had to settle for a short FG with 10 seconds remaining in the 1st half to make it a 10-3 Patriots lead.
You know that tired and worn-out phrase "A tale of two halves"? It actually applies here. Kansas City simply went away and New England scored 24 unanswered points in the 2nd half to make it a 34-3 final. Brady went 15 for 27 with 237 yards and 2 TDs while Rob Gronkowski had 4 catches for 96 yards and 2 TDs in the (second-half) blowout against Kansas City.
The win further opens up a gap in the AFC east with Buffalo and the Jets. New England will next take on the Philadelphia Eagles from Lincoln Financial Field in Philly on Sunday with a 4:15 ET/ 1:15 PT kickoff.
MLB: The saga of the 2011 Red Sox continues to unfold like a country western song where the crooner loses everything nearly two months after their late season implosion. If the loss of Epstein in the front office, Francona in the dugout and Papelbon in the bullpen wasn't enough, it's looking as though NESN sideline reporter Heidi Watney will be departing Boston to work the sidelines and pregame shows for Time-Warner Cable in Southern California [which could very well include the Lakers if they ever have a season- NANESB!].
A California native and graduate of the University of San Diego, Watney arrived in 2008 from an ESPN radio affiliate in Fresno, CA replacing Hazel Mae who was leaving for the then-nascent MLB network.
OTHER RED SOX NEWS: Former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine formally interviewed with the Boston Red Sox this week. Valentine was an unexpected candidate for the position that Dale Sveum, Sandy Alomar Jr, Gene Lamont and others had interviewed for in the past couple of weeks.
Leon Halip/Getty ImagesOTHER MLB NEWS: One week after being announced as the American League Cy Young winner, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander was named the AL MVP for 2011. This makes him the first pitcher to get the AL MVP since Oakland's Dennis Eckersley got the nod in 1992.
During the 2011 regular season, Verlander went 24-5 with a 2.40 ERA and 250 strikeouts.
ELSEWHERE IN MLB: Seattle Mariners outfielder Greg Halman was found stabbed to death by Dutch police in his Rotterdam residence. Police and paramedics were reportedly called to Halman's home and found him bleeding from stab wounds, but were unable to revive him.
A police spokeswoman said that Halman's brother is being held as a suspect, although they aren't allowed to disclose his name under Dutch law.
NCAA FOOTBALL: Well, the tough defensive slog giveth, the tough defensive slog taketh away.
The #22 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish managed to hold off a late rally from Boston College at South Bend on Saturday, recovering an onside kick with 2 minutes to go after the Eagles had closed to within 2 points late in the 4th. Trailing 16-7 with about 3 and a half minutes to go, Boston College started out on their own 22 yard line and managed to take all of 1:41 off the clock before punching it in from the Notre Dame 7 yard line to make it a 16-14 game before attempting the onside kick. However, the Irish recovered at the Eagles 48 yard line, and although they went 3 and out, the ensuing punt pinned Boston College deep in their own end. Not even a series of laterals as the clock ran out could help the Eagles as they went on to lose by a final of 16-14.
For the season finale, Boston College travels to Miami to take on the University of Miami Hurricanes on Friday, November 25th at 3:30 PM ET.
ELSEWHERE IN NCAA FOOTBALL: After Oklahoma State's loss to Iowa State on Friday night, it turns out there were some more top 10 upsets in the works.
Fresh off their loss to Boston College, the NC State Wolfpack simply steamrolled over #7 Clemson by a 37-13 final.
The fourth-ranked Oregon Ducks are no longer a one-loss team after missing a last-second field goal attempt in the final seconds of regulation against the USC Trojans, losing by a 38-35 final.
Sarah Glenn/Getty ImagesFor the first time in 20 meetings, the Baylor Bears figured out a way past the #5 Oklahoma Sooners in a thrilling contest Saturday night, with the Baylor Bears snapping a 38-38 deadlock with a quick drive capped off by a pass from QB Robert Griffin to WR Terrance Williams to give Baylor the 45-38 win (which now further complicated the Big 12 playoff picture).

Food security: Chhattisgarh whets appetite
- IPL spot-fixing: Delhi court drops charges against S Sreesanth and two other cricketers
- Nitish Kumar gets back at Modi, accuses him for 'not honouring promises'
- Major decisions on revision of role of women in armed forces on the anvil: Manohar Parrikar
- Congress, TMC and BJD to seek total withdrawal of NDA's land bill
- Never sought travel documents for Lalit Modi, says Sushma Swaraj
Days before the Chhattisgarh Assembly enacted the historic Food Security Act, Women and Child Development Minister Lata Usendi informed the House that 1,15,093 children are malnourished in Bastar, 31,034 of them severely. The figures in Surguja, another tribal-dominated zone, are expected to be almost the same given the deaths of kids attributed to severe malnourishment there. This situation has existed alongside the PDS and other food-related schemes in the two divisions that together constitute 12 of the state's 27 districts.
So what does the new law offer Chhattisgarh's tribals? First, it makes food a right, binding on the government to ensure it, failure of which is punishable under the Essential Commodities Act. Second, in a tremendous sweep, several groups have been given food entitlement to the extent that the law covers 50 lakh or nearly 90 per cent of the total 56 lakh households in the state. Of these, 42 lakh are BPL. Third, it confronts hunger directly. The government is mandated to provide "immediate relief to persons, groups or communities suffering from hunger or conditions akin to hunger" in the form of "two meals per day". The language and intention of the Act are as clear as they get. There is no circumvention, exceptions or disclaimers usually associated with government notifications.
Fourth, it not only fixes the entitlements including foodgrain, gram and salt, but mandates nutritional standards like calorie and protein value for children under mid-day meal, pregnant women and lactating mothers. Transparency and accountability are ensured through vigilance committees, social audits and internal grievance-redressal mechanisms. The state has set aside Rs 2,311 crore a year for the entitlements, 6 per cent of its budget.
For their failure in ensuring PDS in interior areas, officials often take the Maoist alibi. It will be interesting to watch how foodgrain will now reach Dandakaranya and Jashpur, and erring officers punished. CM Raman Singh understands the benefits should this law change the face of tribes. He introduced Rs 1 per kg rice scheme before the last Assembly polls and was instantly termed "chaaur wala baba" (the old man with the rice sack). He won that election. The next polls are not far.

Pineapple Growing Guide
Crop Rotation Group
Well-drained potting soil for pineapple plants grown in sturdy containers. In tropical areas where pineapple can be grown outdoors, they grow best in fast-draining sandy loam with a slightly acidic pH.
None. Pineapple is a tropical plant native to South America.
Pineapples grown in containers do not need feeding until they show evidence of fruit formation, which is actually a complex flower that forms in the centre of the plant. Drench with a liquid organic fertiliser when you see a tiny pineapple forming, and again a few weeks later.
Single Plants: 1.20m (3' 11") each way (minimum)
Rows: 1.20m (3' 11") with 1.20m (3' 11") row gap (minimum)
Sow and Plant
Most gardeners adopt a pineapple by rooting the top from a purchased fruit. This is best done in late spring, when days are getting longer and warmer. Cut off the top leaving 2.5cm (1 inch) of fruit attached. Trim off the outer ring of fruit and several of the lowest leaves, and set the crown aside in a warm, well-ventilated place for five to seven days. Plant in a medium-size container and grow in filtered sun under warm conditions. Move the plant to a larger container in its second year, and expect fruiting to begin a few months later.
Our Garden Planner can produce a personalised calendar of when to sow, plant and harvest for your area.
When grown in temperate climates, pineapples must be brought into a greenhouse during the winter months. In addition to propagating pineapple by rooting a top, you can take little plantlets found between the lowest leaves, and root and grow these 'pups'.
As pineapples ripen, they lighten in colour and sound solid when thumped. Container-grown pineapples ripen at any time of year, 18 to 24 months after they are planted.
Pineapples grow best in warm, humid conditions. Potted plants that fail to make progress should be summered outdoors.

Upcycling is all the rage for furniture and indoor accessories, but why not for outdoors? A water feature is a great way to add more interest to your garden space, as well as the delightful sound of flowing, tinkling water. Hit the local flea market or mine your own garden shed to make upcycled water features.
Ideas for a Recycled Water Feature
This is a great DIY project for anyone who likes to tinker with materials and put them together to make something new. Sure, you can buy a fountain from the nursery or garden store, but how much rewarding would it be to make your own creative version. Here are some ideas for old materials you can turn into DIY water features:
- Stack galvanized steel buckets and tubs, barrels, watering cans, or old flower pots you don’t need any more to make a cascading fountain.
- Make a similar water fountain using old kitchen implements, like antique tea kettles, tea pots, or colorful wine bottles.
- Tip an old glass patio table top on its side or use an antique French door to make a modern-looking water wall feature in the garden or on a patio.
- Create a small pond with a fountain out of an old canoe, wheelbarrows, or an antique trunk.
- Try some truly unique features made out of an old upright piano, a beat up old tuba, or an antique farmhouse sink.
What You Need for Upcycled Fountains
To make your own garden fountain or pond requires some basic tools and a little background knowledge. Most importantly you need a small water fountain pump. You can find this at a garden store, usually solar powered so that it will run without an outside power source.
You will also need some tools and materials in addition to the unique item you plan to turn into the feature. Depending on how you want to build it, you may need a drill to make holes, metal rods, washers, and nuts to thread different parts together, adhesive, and waterproofing materials to line your fountain or pond.
The best part about making upcycled water features is that you have the freedom to be really creative. The sky is the limit, so go to the flea market or antique mall with your imagination and a little bit of cash.

By Dawson Church
One of the most frequent problems you’ll run into as an EFT practitioner is a client who cannot recall many (or any) childhood memories.
They may have a vague feeling that “bad things happened” but be unable to describe them. The EFT Manual recommends you identify specific events to work on, but what do you do when you can’t find any? You might even have this problem personally.
Clinical EFT has several approaches you can take in these cases. Here are 8 you can experiment with:
1. Make up a story.
Have the client simply invent a story, and tap on it. The reason this is effective is that imaginary stories have to come from somewhere, and the elements a client selects reside in his or her consciousness. So the made-up story is inevitably going to contain elements of actual situations.
2. Tap on a disturbing scene from a movie.
People are triggered by completely different movie scenes. Some people will be triggered by love scenes. Others by characters in a movie shouting at each other. Some will be triggered by scenes involving blood, or death. Some might even be triggered by seemingly innocuous scenes. I watched a movie in which Bruce Willis plays a bankrupt cop. He can’t afford the $40,000 required for his daughter’s fancy wedding – but his ex-wife’s new husband is rich, and can.
Why did the movie trigger me?
Because the whole focus of this great wedding was the money; in the movie we never even saw the groom or heard his name! I hated the movie because it perpetuated the cultural myth of “happily ever after,” and I’ve counseled so many couples in distress who have been misled by that myth. Below that, I probably have some unhealed childhood wounds that need attention.
But that movie hasn’t triggered anyone else I’ve talked to about it so far. That’s how individual our responses are. Find a movie that triggers your client, and work with that.
3. Work on physical sensations.
These will often guide you to events, and they may be proxies for events. One of the most disturbing images I’ve ever seen is a video of a sonogram that my friend, biologist Bruce Lipton often plays during his presentations. It shows a fetus resting peacefully in the womb. The mother and father start yelling at each other, and the fetus jumps as though it’s being hit.
Stress hormones like cortisol also cross the placental barrier so if your mother was stressed, you received the full biochemical impact even before you were born.
You’re not going to remember specific events from the womb, or from early childhood, but you might well have physical sensations. You can give these a SUD level and tap on them. You can also describe them minutely, for instance, “This boiling black ball of pitch in the pit of my stomach, with red flashes shooting out from the middle.” These images may make no sense to your conscious mind, but they arise from deep in the unconscious, and are a guide to pre-verbal distress.
4. Use dreams.
I once worked with a therapist we’ll call “Ginnie” whose problem was that she had no childhood memories at all. But she had a recurring nightmare. In the dream, she was with her real-life husband and young son. They were fleeing a disaster in a ship, and they landed safely on shore with other refugees. She offered her services to the administrator running the refugee camp, since she was a trained psychotherapist, and the camp was full of traumatized people fleeing the disaster. The administrator – a female doctor in white scrubs – dismissed her contemptuously, believing she had nothing to offer.
Ginnie and I tapped together till her SUD levels for the dream came down to a 0. Then I asked her again about her childhood. Hesitantly she said that she remembered a time when she was a little girl, and her parents left her in the care of a babysitter. She couldn’t recall specifics, so we tapped on “something bad happened.”
Ginnie then recovered another memory fragment: when the babysitter’s boyfriend came over, “something very bad happened.” She gradually began to put together pieces of the event, but it was tapping on the dream that created enough safety for her subconscious mind to surface an actual event.
For a comprehensive guide to using EFT for dreams, see the excellent reference book by Bob and Lynne Hoss on the Dream to Freedom Technique. This is one of the Clinical EFT books we commissioned because it’s so excellent, and you will get many provocative ideas as well as detailed case histories showing how to apply them in practice.
5. Make up words that might be appropriate.
In the above example, I used the words “something bad happened.” I had no clue what that event was. You may be clueless, your client too. Yet something bad definitely happened, making this general statement appropriate for the circumstances.
If you go to a live EFT workshop, and see me working with people who have no memories, you’ll hear me use words like “the bad thing…the terrible event…it shouldn’t have happened…it should never have happened to me…I didn’t deserve that…no child deserves to have that happen…” and similar reminder phrases as we tap.
You can see in the client’s eyes that they’re in touch with their emotions, despite the lack of specifics. Sometimes their eyes fill with terror, or anger, or grief. Without ever uncovering an event, you’re able to dive to great emotional depths with this simple Clinical EFT technique.
6. Use the 9 Gamut technique.
It’s surprisingly effective when a client feels bad but can’t link it to a specific event.
I worked with a couple named Naomi and Derek on one of the live coaching calls for our Tapping Deep Intimacy relationship skills program. They were planning to move in together, but had many fears and reservations about doing so. I guessed there were childhood events beneath those fears, but in her session Naomi couldn’t specify them. We used the 9 Gamut for a long time, very slowly. She was surprised to discover great swathes of distress melting during that phase of the session.
Here’s a link to a recording of that session. And here’s a link to a detailed description of the 9 Gamut, a video, and a summary of the history and science behind the technique.
7. Tap on emotions themselves.
Sometimes we have free-floating emotions not linked to any event. One client I’ve worked with over the years sometimes becomes anxious. When I ask her why, she’ll cast around in her mind for a problem, but her life is so great there really isn’t much to select from that could be considered bad. She simply has free-floating anxiety.
Roger Callahan, the developer of Thought Field Therapy from which EFT was derived, believed that there were “thought fields” that caused emotional distress. The field might exist independent of an event. While I recommend you try hard to find a specific event, if that fails you can tap on the emotion itself.
8. Tap on an evocative phrase.
It’s easy to find a phrase that triggers strong emotion, but isn’t linked to a single event. Some of those you’ll see me use often are:
I don’t belong
The world is not a safe place
I don’t deserve
There’s never enough
You can’t trust anyone
These are all negative core beliefs. They usually arise from a series of events. I usually look first for the events, but if I can’t find any despite my detective work, I fall back on the beliefs themselves. This is particularly useful in conjunction with the 9 Gamut technique.
We’d like to hear from you about any cases in which you’re successful using the work-arounds described above. Please email us your EFT success stories through this link.

by guest blogger Bob Quinn, organic farmer and president of Kamut International
There is an increasing debate these days about displacing food production with fuel production, especially in corn country. Many are concerned that the increased demand for grain for ethanol production increases prices for corn and therefore drives all grain prices higher—which leads to increases in the cost of food. Besides that, if you do the math, there’s no way that we can grow enough fuel to run all the industry, businesses, transportation, and homes in this country. If we really want renewable energy, I believe a better long-term solution lies in expanding wind- and solar-generated electricity and in perfecting hydrogen fuel cells and high-capacity storage batteries. Of course, this is futuristic. In the meantime, however, we can grow fuel for our farms with no decrease in food production right now.
Rather than replacing gasoline with ethanol, on our farm we are looking at substituting straight vegetable oil, not biodiesel, for diesel fuel. We grow high-oleic safflower, which has been 100 percent certified organic since 1991. We believe that by being organic we can produce tastier, healthier food, and farm in a more profitable, sustainable way. We crush our oil seeds and those grown by other nearby organic farmers in our own food-grade production facility on the farm. Then we filter it and sell it locally. Restaurants use it for frying, baking, and even salad dressing. Their customers love the taste of the foods cooked with it. Of course, it costs more to produce it in our small crushing facility, however, because the production and sale are local, we have very little cost in transportation.
We’ve discovered that restaurants are willing to pay more for this oil, not only because of more favorable comments from customers, but also because it has a 35 to 40 percent longer cooking life. In addition, the nutrient components make this oil one of the healthiest types to eat, especially for heart health. Its levels of oleic acid exceed all other vegetable oils, making it better than olive oil in this regard. But that’s the food part of the story, now for the fuel part.
About half of our oil is sold to restaurants. When they’re finished with it, we pick up the waste oil as we deliver their next order and bring the waste back to the farm, where we de-water, centrifuge, and filter it. We then put it in our tractors to help produce the next crop of safflower seed, as well as other crops that we raise, such as ancient wheat, and market it under our Kamut trademark. Our tractor has been modified to allow it to burn 100 percent straight vegetable oil (SVO).
The vegetable oil’s viscosity must be reduced to nearly match that of diesel before the oil goes into the fuel-injection system of the engine. The engine is started and warmed up on diesel fuel, which is held in a small fuel tank attached to the tractor. When it reaches the proper temperature, valves automatically open to switch the fuel source from the small diesel tank to the large SVO tank. The power generated by SVO is about 94 percent that of diesel; emissions are a little lower. Before the tractor is shut off for the day, the procedure is reversed so that the fuel lines are once again filled with diesel, allowing for an easy start the next time the tractor is used.
This closed-circuit food/fuel production system could serve as a model that could be replicated in every farm community throughout the nation. Of course, the type of oil used would vary according to what crop was best suited for that region. For example, different high-oleic oils can be produced using certain varieties of sunflower and canola. It would be an efficient and sustainable way to keep the money spent on fuel by local famers circulating in each local community. It would also lower the cost of fuel to the farmers and guarantee farmers would have fuel to produce our food.
In my mind, not every farm would need to have its own presses, as they could form companies or co-ops with their neighbors. We estimate that 10 to15 percent of a farm’s acreage would be required to produce enough waste oil to run the entire farm. This compares favorably to the days when horses used to power the farm required 25 percent of the land to produce their feed. The beauty of modern, renewable farm-fuel production is that farms would use all their land to produce only food. After the high-oleic vegetable oil portion of this food has been used for deep-fat frying, it’s returned to the farm to be used as fuel. Everybody wins and the debate between food verses fuel is over.
Bob Quinn owns and operates a third-generation 4,000-acre family farm in North Central Montana. He has a PhD in plant biochemistry from the University of California–Davis. He considers his whole farm, which has been 100 percent organic since 1989, to be his garden and his laboratory as he continues to experiment with cropping systems, home-grown fuel, and a small orchard. In 1986, he introduced Kamut brand khorasan ancient wheat to the natural food marketplace. Bob is active in his church and community and has served on numerous local and national boards. He and his wife, Ann, have been married for 42 years and have five children and 16 grandchildren.

South Africa's public health system has been allocated R21.5 billion more for the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic but there's no strategy to guide how it should be used.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the existing challenges facing artisanal and small-scale mining in Kenya.
A consistent, predictable and friendly policy environment can attract private sector investments in agriculture to drive transformation.
Nigeria's post COVID-19 economic recovery plan appears to be a good start. But the government’s plan leaves a lot to be desired.
African policymakers should strenuously safeguard their right to choose from the widest possible range of technology options that suit their countries’ development needs.
When South Africa eventually emerges from the fog of the COVID-19 crisis, structural reform, including land reform, will be high on the political agenda as never before.
The hard truth is that the more the isolation is contained, the greater the economic problems will be.
South Africa must benchmark its education policies against high-income countries, if it wants to become one, and not measure its performance against its peers.
The net effect is that the shocks are most severe on poorer, more vulnerable households.
South Africa should use its remaining AGOA window to find other export markets and retool its economy - as US economic attitude towards Africa hardens.

TOKYO (The Japan News/ANN) — North Korea has continued its development of intercontinental ballistic missiles despite declaring a halt to launches, having conducted a missile-linked radio wave experiment early this month, it has been learned.
North Korea has continued its development of intercontinental ballistic missiles despite declaring a halt to launches, having conducted a missile-linked radio wave experiment early this month, it has been learned.
Despite sanctions limiting the North’s petroleum supply, the North Korean military is continuing to train at its usual levels. In response, the Japanese and U.S. governments plan to increase their surveillance of smuggling and other activities on the high seas, according to military and diplomatic sources.
North Korea conducted a launch test of its radio telemetry, which is transmitted from equipment in a missile’s components such as a warhead. When a ballistic missile is launched, telemetry provides essential information about the missile’s angle, location, speed and other factors to observers on the ground.
In 2016 and 2017, North Korea launched about 40 missiles, including ICBMs. Ground-based telemetry tests are often conducted prior to an ICBM launch, and are considered an important sign of an impending missile launch.
The U.S. military, Japan Self-Defense Forces and South Korean military are constantly monitoring North Korea for radio waves.
According to the sources, the tests have two objectives: first, to serve as a check on the United States due to a lack of progress in negotiating a relaxation of sanctions; and second, as a necessary part of missile development.
North Korea’s last ballistic missile launch came in November 2017. In April, a plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea adopted a decision stating a halt to nuclear weapons testing and ICBM test launches.
However, Japanese, U.S. and South Korean defense authorities believe North Korea has maintained a posture that would enable it to resume missile launches.
Analysis of satellite images and other data has indicated that since the start of the year, the North Korean Navy and Air Force have been training at roughly the same intensity as in other years.
The U.N. Security Council last December approved additional sanctions on North Korea limiting imports of refined petroleum products to 500,000 barrels per year. Nevertheless, the frequency of military drills and other matters have not changed compared to before the resolution, the sources said.

Priorities ad ties Romney to lost health insurance, cancer death (Updated)
The Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action is unveiling perhaps the harshest, most personal ad of the 2012 presidential race, featuring a former worker at a Bain-owned company talking about the death of his wife after their family lost health insurance.
The commercial casts Mitt Romney’s business background in a severely negative light, but it’s not a typical slash-and-burn attack ad. Instead, it features former GST Steel employee Joe Soptic speaking to the camera about what happened when the plant where he worked shut down.
“I don’t think Mitt Romney understands what he’s done to people’s lives by closing the plant. I don’t think he realizes that people’s lives completely changed,” Soptic said. “When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my health care and my family lost their health care. And a short time after that my wife became ill.”
He continues: “I don’t know how long she was sick and I think maybe she didn’t say anything because she knew that we couldn’t afford the insurance. And then one day she became ill and I took her up to the Jackson County Hospital and admitted her for pneumonia and that’s when they found the cancer and by then it was stage four. It was — there was nothing they could do for her. And she passed away in 22 days.
“I do not think Mitt Romney realizes what he’s done to anyone,” Soptic concludes. “And furthermore, I do not think Mitt Romney is concerned.”
The content of Soptic’s story makes this among the gravest criticism of Romney’s business record and personal character delivered in the 2012 cycle. It’s always a risk to air such a charged ad, but Priorities has made a habit of going several steps beyond where the Obama campaign will go in attacking Romney.
Romney has responded to criticism of his connections to GST Steel before — he has distanced himself from decisions made at the company after his tenure at Bain — but not criticism leveled in such raw and emotional terms. Responding to this may not be as easy as calling anti-Bain ads an attack on free enterprise.
The 60-second Priorities commercial is part of what the super PAC says is a $20 million campaign going after Romney’s background in private equity.
UPDATE: Romney spokesman Ryan Williams responded to the Priorities ad with the standard Boston pushback on Bain attacks: that they all amount to a distraction from Obama's economic record. "President Obama’s allies continue to use discredited and dishonest attacks in a contemptible effort to conceal the administration’s deplorable economic record. After 42 months of unemployment above 8 percent, it is clear that the president and his campaign do not have a rationale for reelection," Williams said in an email. "He focused on health care instead of the economy, he hasn't been able to pass a budget through Congress, he hasn't been able to cut the deficit like he promised and he's done little to change the way Washington works. Mitt Romney has a Plan for a Stronger Middle Class that will jumpstart the economy and bring back millions of jobs."

29 Aug – It seems that films have finally come to a screeching halt, what with the slew of awful movies that saw box office release in the last August weekend (23 - 26 Aug), which were "Premium Rush", "Hit And Run" and "The Apparition". It was so bad that none of them managed to open in the top three, nor even the top five. As such, Simon West's "The Expendables 2" kept its place in the top spot, with a total gross of US$52.2 million, which is trailing behind the original's 10-day total of US$65.4 million. "The Bourne Legacy" and "ParaNorman" also maintained their respective spots in the box office, in that order.
In Malaysia, "The Expendables 2" also maintained its seat at first spot, but unlike the U.S., the rest of the top three saw new entries, which are "The Dinosaur Project" and "Premium Rush". Second placer "The Dinosaur Project" is directed by Sid Bennett, and the found footage tale chronicles an expedition into the Congo jungle where a team of explorers stumbles upon a colony of Dinosaurs, following which, their expedition becomes a race for survival. On the other hand, David Koepp's "Premium Rush" is a modern day film set in Manhattan. When daredevil bike messenger, Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) picks up an envelope dirty cop Bobby Monday (Michael Shannon) also wants, a high-octane bicycle race soon takes place throughout the city.
Meanwhile, in Singapore, "The Expendables 2" fared much better. While it also kept its last weekend top spot, the sequel has beat the box office numbers of the original in the local box office in just over eight days of release. In second place is Akiva Schaffer's "The Watch", which stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade as a group of men living in the suburbs that come together to form a neighbourhood watch group first as a way to avenge their brutally murdered acquaintance before their activities snowballs into ways to get out of their day-to-day family routines. That is, until they find themselves facing a potential alien invasion. Last but not least, in third spot is Pixar's "The Brave".
For Malaysia, new movies that opened last week were "Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 3: Dog Days", "Diva", "18 Vayasu" and "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi". For Singapore, new movies that opened last week were "Ek Tha Tiger", "Greedy Ghost", "The Silent War" and "Rock Of Ages".
Box office takings for the weekend just gone (23 August - 26 August 2012)


Al Dean has never been convinced about 3D printing becoming mainstream, but he may be about to change his tune. Here’s how a big pink flying tent, a wireless weather station and a garden shed helped.
3D printing is getting a reputation amongst the mainstream media as something that’s new, something that’s got promise.
The more enthusiastic of the pundits out there are claiming that it represents a brand new industrial revolution – you can see this everywhere from Wired to the venerable Economist. 3D printing is coming and it’s coming to your home soon. Is it? I have my doubts.
Personally, the idea of 3D printing becoming mainstream has never sat well with me. I’ve been working with these systems for nearly two decades and writing about them almost as long.
My opinion has always been that there’s huge potenital for designers and engineers to do interesting things that don’t conform to either traditional design for manufacturing rules or indeed, traditional tooling vs part cost economies of scale.
But did I foresee a day where everyone had one in their house to print new bits for their vacuum cleaner? Not a cat in hell’s chance. And I’ll tell you why.
3D printing isn’t easy. Or rather, the process of designing a part isn’t easy.
Yes, there’s a whole raft of 3D design tools out there, but you can’t just jump in, design a part and build it. Well you can, but unless you’ve got an idea about what you’re doing, you’ll be building crap. That’s always been my opinion but could the loan of a £ 1,500 Up Personal 3D Printer by the kind folks at Cool Components change my mind?
3D printing on the desktop?
I was curious to know. What can you get for the price of a half decent workstation? Surely it’ll be a bit rubbish. Turns out, I was wrong. The box arrived around lunchtime one Wednesday afternoon.
Eagerly tearing into the packaging I got the various bits bolted into place, got the software installed after a download and got the machine running within an hour. And that included a bowl of soup.
The UP is an impressive little beast – about the same form factor as a standard laptop and will sit on your desk quite happily. Once you have the build platform set-up properly and levelled out (this is key), you’re about good to go.
To be honest, I was taken aback by how easy it was. I remember working with an old SLA 250 back in the day and that was a royal pain in the arse; lasers, optics, vats of resin.
With this thing, you feed in the filament (the UP uses an FDM type approach where each layer is ‘drawn’ using a near molten ABS filament), heat up the tip, calibrate it a little bit and you’re ready to rock. All that within an hour.
But what to bulid?
Chess piece with a staircase inside? Nope. A knock off Dsney character from TurboSquid? Nope. I didn’t want knicknacks or test pieces. I wanted something I needed.
Then I remembered my weather station. Erected onto my shed last summer, it had given me months worth of weather prediction and all manner of joy over into the autumn months until a rather windy day took the kids tent aloft and brought it crashing down on the shed, breaking the brackets to smithereens and leaving me with a wet finger and old wives’ tales to judge the weather.
So I found myself loading up Inventor, modelling up a new bracket (which you can see on Thingiverse.com, all documented) setting the printer to build a 1/2 scale part and going out.
I came back to find a fully built test part. Yes, it took a few minutes to set it free from the support structure, but it was clear this thing worked and worked well.
That evening, I set the full scale build going. With a build envelope big enough to build both components at the same time, I left it running over-night.
Cue a rush down the stairs in the morning to find my new bracket ready and waiting for me.
Twenty minutes later, the weather station was back in action – just in time for Spring.
I’m still not convinced that there’s truly a mainsteam market for 3D printers – people just don’t, in the majority of cases, want to get involved in making their own stuff.
But, for those that like to tinker, to experiment and try things out, the fact that these things are now so low cost can only be a good thing. But it’s just another tool for the creative and let’s not yet carried away with anything else. It’s just that: another tool in the box. And we all like new tools.
36 hours with a £1.5k printer can change some opinions of mainstream 3D printing

5 Hacks to Help Your Anxiety Go from Debilitating to High-. Set aside worry time. The last thing you should do is give yourself permission to worry, right? . Stop and take a few deep breaths. Change your perspective on anxiety. Get it out of your head. Take your cue from other people.
Table of Contents
What is considered crippling anxiety?
Debilitating anxiety involves an intense or extreme sense of fear or dread about everyday situations or tasks. Some people may also refer to this excessive anxiety and worry as “apprehensive expectation.” This type of anxiety can make it difficult for a person to function.
Why is my anxiety getting worse?
Daily stressors like traffic jams or missing your train can cause anyone anxiety. But long-term or chronic stress can lead to long-term anxiety and worsening symptoms, as well as other health problems. Stress can also lead to behaviors like skipping meals, drinking alcohol, or not getting enough sleep.
Will I ever recover from anxiety?
Can you recover from anxiety disorder and feel completely normal again? Answer: Yes, anxiety symptoms and thinking about anxiety can completely disappear. In fact, you can go back to living a normal life again without any concern about anxiety.

I can’t imagine dropping a series of <script> tags on a page to build a minimally complex website anymore. I’ve got used to browserify and so I can’t go back to building my fancy 3D thingies like it was 2012 all over again.
So I made this minimal template that sets the bare minimum you might need to build a three.js powered site using browserify via gulp. That lets you use any other npm-based modules and libraries you want! So your code should not be messy and/or a tremendously big file with everything tucked on it.
There’s also some extra help like a file watcher… and not much more, really.
Do let me know if you use it for something cool… or if you can/want to help on this issue! 😀
For the project I’m working on I’m building web components that sometimes require other components to build their UI. For example, the theremin-ui uses the slider. So they will try to load and register the component before creating instances of it. It worked fine when there was only one level of dependencies, but then I put all of the components on the same document, to let the user choose an instrument from the collection of Web Audio instruments, and I got an error from the browser complaining about… something:
NotSupportedError: Operation is not supported
I traced it down to the register() call, and I figured that I was registering an element twice. So I made safeRegisterElement, a one-function module I’m using now instead of directly calling document.registerElement:
var safeRegisterElement = require('safe-register-element');
Here I am in Budapest (for the first time ever 😮)! I’m back in the hotel after having a quick dinner on my own. I didn’t join the party because I had a massive headache and also I was getting so sleepy, no coffee could fight that (also probably the two things were related). But once I started wandering towards my hotel I found myself feeling so much better, and stumbled upon a cosy nice place and ended up stopping there for some food.
When I came back from the speakers’ dinner yesterday, I practiced setting up all my stuff and going through the demos again, which are in fact ran on real, physical devices, i.e. phones.
Again, JS server superstar Justin d’Archangelo wrote an implementation of a web server that works on Firefox OS. It’s called fxos-web-server and it includes a few examples you can run.
None of the examples particularly fit my use case–I want to serve static content from a phone to other phones, but the examples were a bit more contrived. So I decided to build a simpler proof-of-concept example: catserver, a web server that served a simple page with full screen Animated GIFs of cats:
Now it also has a command line tool, and you can push and launch apps from the command line without even having to write a custom script that uses the module (of course, you can still use the module code by requiring it).

Orchids are among the most fascinating and magical plants you can grow at home. Not only for their beauty, but also because they are able to grow in many different ways, some of which are truly very original!
Among these we find the steam method : this technique allows the roots of the plant to grow very quickly and above all healthy and strong. Let’s see what it’s about.
Growing orchids with the steam method
With this method, the flowers will bloom much more beautiful and in “shape”. First you will need to use garlic powder . You understood correctly, this product contains many vitamins and nutrients that are absolutely excellent for plant growth.
Use a teaspoon of this substance and then pour boiling water over it. Now pour the mixture into a vaporizer, making sure to strain it properly first (use cheesecloth or a cloth). You must then add half a liter of water.
Start spraying it on the leaves of an orchid plant and on the roots so that it can grow very healthy and strong and can fight the attack of various insects and parasites. The garlic will also help the plant to settle more easily in the new “house” that we are going to create.
At this point we use an empty plastic bottle and begin to cut the part of the cap, up to about ten centimeters. At this point, working on this cut part (which has a funnel shape), we will make various holes just above the opening where the cap would go.
Conclusion of procedure
At this point all we have to do is place our perforated “funnel” in the other half of the bottle and above all we will have to place the plant inside (make sure to eliminate the dry roots first).
Now let’s use some pieces of styrofoam to fill in the spaces. Fill the other half of the bottle with water and place the funnel with the plant on it. The water must only partially touch the roots: we place everything on a bright area and water abundantly.
Once the roots have grown well, and have used the holes previously made to “exit”, you can transfer it into a larger container, which allows the growth of the plant to give free rein. You will notice that the orchids will be healthy, fresh, lush and with very colorful flowers.
Follow the instructions you find in the video below to best follow the steam growth technique: you will surely be surprised!

Look, nobody’s going to political cartoons for intelligent, nuanced analysis of complex political issues. It’s just a political cartoon, mostly intended to scratch whatever preconceived biases you bring to the equation. They’re usually not exactly brilliant, but they’re not exactly bad. Well, usually not. But this on Wednesday, Pulitzer Prize-winner Matt Wuerker had a (since-deleted) cartoon tweeted by Politico and it’s a mess.
— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) August 30, 2017
As you can see, in Wuerker’s mind, Harvey’s victims are a bunch of cowboy-hat toting rednecks who can’t tell the difference between the Coast Guard and angels. Outrage came fast and furiously, from all sides of the partisan aisle.
And ignorant. Is the cartoonist not reading about/seeing the extraordinary efforts of individual Texans saving neighbors and strangers? https://t.co/xXMlD0XHIg
— Scott Wilson (@PostScottWilson) August 30, 2017
This is beneath the publication. https://t.co/r68WLymai0
— Kyle Feldscher (@Kyle_Feldscher) August 30, 2017
There are a few problems with the cartoon. The first and most obvious is how it reduces a complex conversation about government size to a snarky talking point. That’s an unfortunate belittling of an important issue, but it’s certainly not exclusive to this cartoon. All political cartoons (and a good deal of political commentary) are guilty of titling at strawmen.
More concerning is the callousness. Many people are still trapped by Harvey’s floodwaters, running low on supplies. Depicting these people as two-dimensional idiots is an insult to them.
Likewise, the belittling crack about the faith these people might be clinging to is deeply uncalled for. Sure, a lot of conservatives believe the government is too big and that there should be some cuts. Some of conservative lawmakers in Texas are on the record for voting against increasing financial aid for Hurricane Sandy while today they ask for more aid for relief in their own state.
There does seem to be hypocrisy there, but equivocating the political brinksmanship of a few with the real needs, beliefs and philosophies of a huge swash of America is just intentional obtuseness. And using a natural disaster that is costing lives as a chance to score a cheap, not particularly profound political point is just bad form across the board.

City Lights bookstore in San Francisco - birthplace of Hip?
What are the five most hipster things that have ever happened?
As we enter the third part of my efforts at cataloguing the five hipsterest things of all time, I’ll briefly pause to recount weeks one and two. First, we established the hipsterness of an obscure musical collaboration between Warren Zevon and 75 percent of R.E.M. Second was the entire life, from birth to death, of sportswriting hipster extraordinaire George Plimpton. Third, I draw your collective attention to October 7, 1955 — the date upon which Allen Ginsberg read “Howl” to a crowd of enthusiastic proto-hipsters at the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking
for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night...
In many ways, it was the modern hipster’s birthday, although the culture, such as it is, has grown and changed so much since then. Even so, I suspect the fundamental anger at how industrial society devalues and dehumanizes those who could — perhaps even should — be life’s brightest stars remains unchanged today.
But birthdays also start the inexorable ticking of the clock, and the birth of the modern hipster was also the first step towards blending seamlessly into mainstream society. “Howl” shocked the country as an affront to the unity of the mainstream, and in doing so it set the stage for the eventual acceptance and absorption of all that made its culture counter, so to speak. The world at large can only tolerate a rebellious subculture for so long before it must assimilate, by force if necessary.
Today, rejecting mainstream culture in favor of something weird, new, anachronistic, or obscure is recognizably hipster behavior. Sometimes, it is even celebrated. Ever since October 7, 1955, it has had, if not a manifesto, at least an undeniable statement of its existence. Thus, this event warrants designation as the third most hipster thing that has ever happened.
When I was a kid, I loved fantastic stories that inspired my overactive imagination. My favorite Disney movies were the ones about people having supernatural adventures, as opposed to the talking animal stories. As a teen, I devoured comics, what I’ll call “speculative” fiction, Star Wars, and any movies with an extraordinary bent. Then I got a little bit older, and I noticed how the people around me wanted more “realistic” entertainment. Sometimes, I felt the same way, but I also harbored a soft spot for the stuff that really fired up my imagination. Now, although I am not particularly good at being an adult, as at least a kind of adult, I am in the distinct minority, which I don’t get. Even when my peers do get into something fantastical, like Westworld or whatever, they have to qualify it by saying how the story would be just as good in any setting because it’s all about the deeper themes. Why do people turn steadily towards more boring, realistic entertainment as they age?
I can’t speak for people generally, and thus I probably can’t give you a fully satisfactory answer, but we hipsters prefer our entertainment in the gravest form possible because one cannot be both ironically jaded over contemporary social institutions (see above) and simultaneously revel in the endless playground of the human imagination. Maybe we take ourselves a little too seriously, but the point of books, movies, plays or any other form of entertainment is to reflect badly on life itself, not to fire up the imagination.

Just like humans have unique fingerprints, we use the stripes on Grevy’s zebra to identify individuals. The first people to develop this system were Hans and Ute Klingel. They would take photographs of the left side of Grevy’s zebra. They constructed their own dark room while out in the bush and developed several hundred rolls of films during any one field excursion. They then developed file cards for each zebra identified and would code the stripes. Using this unique coding system they were able to know which zebras they had seen for the first time and which they had “re-captured” in their camera lens.
With the development of the computer age, researchers began using computer programmes to identify Grevy’s zebra, but there were technical problems: the stripe pattern had to be coded by eye, which carried the risk of variation in interpretation through different observers. The code then had to be entered by hand, adding another layer of risk through typing errors. Additional information had to be entered into a separte database.
The concept of a computer based program which individually identifies Grevy’s zebra by their unique stripe patterns was borne following discussions between Princeton University and Marwell Wildlife . Such a system would automatically compare photos of individuals to a database of previously recorded animals, thus saving researchers in the field weeks of manual work. It soon emerged that a system like this already existed, and was in the early stages of development with Conservation Research Ltd.
The stripe ID software uses a 3-dimensional model to fit a generic body shape to the photo. In the case of Grevy’s zebra the system applies the model of a zebra to the photo and takes into account the different positions of the animal. Posture and fattening & thinning of the animal (e.g. during pregnancy) are accounted for.
Have you seen Grevy’s zebra in Kenya? If you have, we would love your photographs! You can email your photos to us along with the following information for each image:
- Date of sighting
- Location of sighting
- Sex of the Grevy's zebra if known
- GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) if available
If you are planning a trip to Kenya and might be going to areas where Grevy’s zebra are found and would like to contribute your photos to our photo-identification project, please photograph the zebra from the side as in the example below:
Please send your photos and associated information to email@example.com
Thank you for helping us with this important project!
Members of the Grevy's Zebra Technical Committee have decided to establish a centralised database where each member contributes their photographs and associated life history information. The database will provide critical information to scientists and managers for planning future conservation action. Here are two examples of how this data can advise conservation:
- Population vital rates
We can track the fates of individual zebra across a broader range. From this shared data, we can improve our ability to estimate key population vital rates such as movement, reproduction and survival.
- Population movements
From repeated observations of an individual we can determine the extent to which movement occurs across different population units. From this we can then identify critical population corridors or barriers.

(Natural News) Has winter left you with a scratchy throat and nagging cough? If you are like most people, you might already have reached for that bottle of cherry-flavored over-the-counter (OTC) cough syrup. According to the American Chemistry Society (ACS), a nonprofit chartered by the U.S. Congress, you’re not alone. Every year thousands of people worldwide spend billions of dollars on cough medicines. According to the Drug News Store report, cough syrup sales were worth almost $580 million in 2015.
Back in the old days, your OTC cough syrup may have consisted of alcohol, cannabis, morphine, chloroform, or even heroin. Luckily those days are over, but are today’s options any better and do they work as well as we think they do?
ACS called the active ingredients in today’s cough syrups “more reasonable.” However, we at Natural News have our doubts. Most of these syrups include synthetic chemicals which have been linked to serious adverse health effects. (RELATED: Learn more about natural medicine at Medicine.news)
Does cough syrup actually work?
The ACS analyzed both the chemistry behind cough medicines and data from previous scientific research into the efficacy of those drugs and published its findings in a video earlier this month.
The researchers analyzed systemic reviews and found very little evidence that cough syrups are effective at doing their job. They reported that these medications are generally no better than a placebo. In one of the systematic reviews they looked at, which included 19 previously conducted studies, 15 showed no benefit or the results were conflicting. All other reports showed similar results. The researchers concluded that there is no real evidence for or against the effectiveness of OTC drugs in an acute cough.
Furthermore, these OTC meds can have deteriorating side effects and even lead to death when taken in larger doses. Every year, thousands of children under 12 end up in the emergency room due to accidental cough medicine overdose, reported the ACS.
And if you thought you were better off with treatments based on Echinacea, vitamin C or zinc, the ACS researchers noted that aside from the placebo effect, these remedies will likely not help soothe a cough either. Although upping your vitamin C levels and boosting your immune system may help prevent a viral infection and winter cough in the first place.
What you should do instead
Though OTC cough syrups may help you sleep better, it is a persistent and nagging cough you want to get rid of, right? So, what should you do instead?
- Drink plenty of fluids to thin out extra mucus and reduce the cough reflex.
- Use a humidifier or take a steamy shower to reduce congestions.
- Honey and lemon have been used for ages to treat a cough and science backs it up. Especially kids fare well by this age-old remedy. It soothes the back of their throats which eases a cough. And it’s delicious, especially in hot tea.
- Cough drops have proven their effectiveness. They help to get saliva flowing which soothes a sore or irritated throat.
- Or why not diffuse the healing aroma of essential oils throughout your home to find relief? The potent plant compounds in some essential oils can suppress a cough and enable you to breathe better, especially when you are asleep. Some of the best essential oils to treat a cough include lemon, frankincense, lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, thyme, rosemary, tea tree and thieves oil.
A cough is usually a viral infection that will go away without any treatment after a week or two. However, when a cough persists for more than a few weeks, the ACS recommends seeing your doctor. (RELATED: Learn more about natural remedies at Remedies.news)

I wish pop didn’t have such a negative connotation for ~elitists~
Seriously, I just have so many issues with genres and the way music is categorized in general, but I feel like it’s so silly trying to label a band as “alt-rock” or “pop-rock” or whatever when so often there’s almost nothing rock about the band’s music.

A hospital stay can be a nightmare for many. And if someone is battling a life-threatening disease, a stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) can be daunting as it requires a lot of support, and often courage, to face the complexities involved in the recovery process. In fact, many people are unable to cope with stressful episodes during their stay in hospital.
A recent study by the Johns Hopkins University suggested that depression and anxiety-related disorders are highly prevalent among people undergoing treatment for a deadly disease, especially in an ICU. The situation becomes significantly alarming if the sufferer is a female, young and unemployed, according to the study.
Published in the journal Critical Care Medicine in April 2016, the study said that younger, female patients who survived acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and unemployed were at a higher risk of contracting a psychiatric disease during their hospital stay.
As part of the study, the researchers enrolled 613 participants diagnosed with ARDS who had to stay at the ICU for treatment. Of those recruited, 316 were female and 297 male with an average age of 49 years. After following them up for six months, the researchers observed that 36 percent participants displayed visible signs of depression, 42 percent were found to experience anxiety and 24 percent showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Even after 12 months, no improvement was observed in any of these symptoms. Of those who fought depression, anxiety or PTSD at six months, nearly 57 to 66 percent still showed similar psychiatric illnesses even after 12 months, which strongly indicated that the symptoms didn’t subside with time and in fact, became more pronounced, with the majority, nearly 63 percent, experiencing two or more symptoms at the same time.
It was also observed that patients who didn’t work before being admitted to the ICU were at higher odds, nearly 26–40 percent, of developing psychiatric symptoms soon after being discharged from the hospital. Likewise, patients who consumed alcohol or were treated with strong opioids during their ICU stay were at an increased risk of developing depression and anxiety.
“We need to pay more attention to the psychiatric vulnerability of ICU patients in recovery who are women, younger and unemployed prior to hospitalization, not just look at traditional measures of risk, such as greater illness severity and longer length of stay,” said Dale Needham, M.D., a professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
The study is an important step toward increasing awareness and developing improved treatment options for patients who suffer from psychiatric problems during their ICU stay.
Though depression and anxiety disorders are quite common, many people need intensive treatment to get better. A person with anxiety disorders can experience symptoms like loss of interest in daily activities, changes in sleep pattern, anger or irritability, loss of energy and so on.
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults (18 percent) of the population. Surprisingly, many even fail to realize their problem.
Medication and therapy are available to deal with anxiety so that one can continue to live happily. If you or a loved one is suffering from an anxiety disorder, the Anxiety Treatment Advisors Colorado Helpline can help you find the best anxiety disorders treatment in Colorado. Get in touch with one of our representatives at the 24/7 helpline number 866-891-2539 to get an easy access to the right anxiety disorder treatment center.

Mac|Life’s concept iDesk seems plausible and very expensive. In their concept, Mac|Life images a desk with a multitouch display and bluetooth connectivity. Phones, laptops, and other devices when placed on the desk can have their data accessed and transferred though on desk icons.
It’s a striking design, having your desk be one giant interactive flat panel display. The technology to do this certainly seems ready. Giant retina displays, and multitouch controls exist. (Well retina displays exist, scaling them up to 6 feet by 4 feet, maybe not.) The real problem seems to be more of software rather than hardware. You don’t even really need one display like that. Simply more intuitive graphical and tactile syncing with current separate displays would be nice. I imagine transferring documents from desktop or laptop computer to a tablet by touching the screen displaying the document with spread open fingertips, making a fist (think grabbing) and then touching the screen of the destination device. Of course thinking of local device storage is so 20th century. Everything is going cloud with continuous syncing.
Wands (and other pointing interfaces) are kindof cool in that you can just point at something on one device, grab it, point over at another device, and if they’re both listening to where the wand is pointing and to each other, it is quite a natural way to “transfer” from one device to another.

What will it take for the Mullah regime to finally intimidate these people into retreat..?
Or even more insidious, what level of bribery will they use in order to get them to end their protests and go back to the normal status quo?
Twelve dead in Iran as security forces are accused of opening fire on protesters after President Rouhani said people were ‘completely free to express their criticism’
- 12 people were killed during a fourth night of protest in Iran, state TV reported
- Two people were shot dead overnight in the town of Izeh while another two were run over and killed in Dorud, Iranian media reported
- Another three were reportedly killed in Isfahan after security forces opened fire
- Comes after President Rouhani said people were ‘free to express their criticism’
At least 12 people have been killed and multiple others wounded during a fourth night of unrest in Iran.
Iranian state TV reported the figure Monday, saying security forces repelled ‘armed protesters’ who tried to take over police stations and military bases.
Two people were shot dead in the southwestern town of Izeh while another two died in Dorud after being run over by a stolen fire truck, local news agencies reported.
Elsewhere there were unconfirmed reports that three people were shot dead after security forces opened fire on protesters in Isfahan.
