So you have done some research and are thinking that maybe NSSD Therapy - Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is the treatment you want. But who do you see, where do you go, what is the best office for you, is traction the same as decompression therapy? All valid questions that need answers.
Spinal decompression therapy can be a very effective treatment however there are some critical factors and protocols that need to be considered and unfortunately not every doctor utilizing decompression is aware of these factors or protocols.
Here are a couple of things to look for when considering NSSD - Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression:
1. Is the doctor utilizing the a decompression machine or a traction table? You will find doctors who say that there is no difference but there is. A Honda is a car and so is a Ferrari but they operate very differently and have much different technology. So it is with decompression machines. Traction tables consist of simple motors with basic functions and can lower the pressure within the spinal discs. True spinal decompression machines utilize specific technology with much more extensive machinery allowing a creation of NEGATIVE pressure within the disc which is the key to solving disc bulges, herniations, sciatica, degenerative disc disease etc. The way a disc heals is to create negative pressure to allow for oxygen, water and nutrient exchange to take place, this can only happen with certain equipment and not with traction tables. A leader and expert in spinal decompression will only utilize the best equipment possible.
2. Is the doctor a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor? Many doctors who perform spinal decompression and traction not certified and unaware sometimes of all the functions of their own equipment and how it can best be utilized. They have no certifications or continued learning on decompression techniques or protocols that allow them to get the best results possible.
3. Is Spinal Decompression the offices primary focus and specialty or is one of there techniques the utilize? Many offices list themselves as experts at spinal decompression, however that is not what they primarily offer and is just one of the multiple therapies the utilize on occasion.
4. How long have they been utilizing spinal decompression for? How many spinal decompression visits have they performed, do they have staff do all the treatments or do they do actually do them? We have seen new offices pop up, offering spinal decompression and they are self listed as experts after a few months.
5. What do their reviews say about them and specifically in regards to spinal decompression? Google, yelp and other review pages will let you know this.
6. Do they utilize the treatment on themselves? Have they lived in your shoes, have they had disc problems that have required spinal decompression? If you have gone thru something your self you have a whole new appreciation and most importantly understanding of the condition and treatment involved.
We utilize only DRX 9000 True decompression machines in our office, we have 3 decompression machines in our office and we utilize 2 of these machines for the lower spine and 1 for the neck. Dr. Boelk is a decompression certified doctor who specialty is focusing on spinal decompression and he has performed over 24,000 treatments over the last 15 years. Dr. Boelk personally performs each treatment on every single patient he accepts into his program. Dr. Boelk utilized spinal decompression on himself for his multiple disc herniations as well as sciatica and he utilizes decompression now on a regular basis to keep his disc hydrated and in good condition so he cam stay active surfing, golfing working out and playing ice hockey still.
Hope this is helpful when trying to figure out who to call for help.
Call our office today at 619-298-0800 to learn more and see if you are a candidate for this highly successful treatment.
*Due to current demand, we are limited to the number of cases we can accept and cases are accepted on a first come basis regardless of referral from other doctors, neurologists, surgeons or patients. Thank you for understanding.

Mina is a typical 17yr old girl from Melbourne – her life a poster for normalcy; going to high school, hanging out with friends, listening to music, reading books, writing stories, going to the odd party etc. However, the façade is one of crafty deception, behind a long fringe and downcast eyes hides an inner torment and imaginary solace to a life more attune to violence and condemnation than the carefree rebellious teen life she should be leading.
Subjected to physical and mental abuse at the hatful hand of her older sibling, Mina conjures up Anim, an imaginary friend with real life influence who becomes her confidant and closest ally against the unbrotherly bombardment.
Adding to this hard knock life story is the typical teenage angst mixed with fluid friendship, experimental intoxication and a form of escapism that’s surreal and real at once. Mina is a complex character who experiences the full gambit of emotions as she shifts through a time lapse of events that at once captures the essence of 1980’s Australia and something a little other-worldly.
Author Andrez Bergen makes the fantastical and real bleed into one another; the seamless trajectory of actions to and from the respective perspective create a lucid dream experience that encapsulates genre fiction in its many iterations.
DEPTH CHARGING ICE PLANET GOTH does not subscribe to a label/category of fiction which makes this refreshing and unpredictable. Andrez Bergen builds upon his strength in diversity to ensure Mina’s plight is one of multiple possibilities and dimensions. We, as the reader, get to enjoy this vivid imagery and enthralling tale of survival, endurance, and coming-of-age.
DEPTH CHARGING ICE PLANET GOTH is due out midyear 2014.

Animal Health and Welfare (30-04-2010)
Animal welfare: An added value for the wool industry
The European Commission, together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO), will co-organise a conference on "Environment and Animal Welfare", during the 79th Congress of the IWTO, which will be held in Paris and Rambouillet, May 3-5 2010.
While globalisation is revolutionising international trade, public concerns on the sustainability of certain animal production practices, backed-up by a growing body of scientific findings, are growing.
The conference aims to raise awareness on appropriate actions needed to be taken by the wool industry in relation to environmental and animal welfare issues and to promote the consideration of these concerns as an added value to trade. It will take place on May 4, chaired by Mr Petrus De Vet, President of the National wool growers of South Africa and will be attended by major stakeholders from the wool sector, wool growers and traders, representatives of European institutions and international associations.
It is the first time that IWTO is approaching the issue of animal welfare during its annual Congress in the presence of the European Commission. This fact indicates that animal welfare standards are starting to have a significant impact in the wool industry worldwide.

Etan Thomas is a commentator I will always listen to. His is a vital voice when it comes to issues of athlete activism and race relations.
Today, he published an open letter to Colin Kaepernick in The Guardian, addressing Kaepernick’s silence over the past few years:
When I spoke on a panel at last year’s AEJMC Conference in Washington, I defended your right to remain silent to a room full of reporters who were criticizing you for not speaking up. I didn’t back down from a pointed exchange with Jerry Brewer of the Washington Post: “What else did you want him to say? He specifically told you the reasons why he was taking a knee: to protest political corruption, systemic racism and police brutality, and y’all allowed the narrative to be switched to being disrespectful to the country and the military.”
I accused those reporters of lazy journalism for letting your message be hijacked in the absence of your voice. Let’s just say I didn’t receive a standing ovation for my position.
I was at that panel. (Fun fact: That’s my YouTube video he linked to. Sorry for shooting it up-and-down. Rookie mistake.). It was, in fact, a pointed exchange. The room was heavy during it, but it’s worth noting that it was a civil disagreement. Thomas gave us all a lot to think about, because what he said ran in the face of the established ideals of how journalists do their job. And because he presented in such a forceful, intelligent manner.
As I wrote at the time, the larger issue to me is not the attitudes of the journalists but of their editors:
But I can’t help but believe that the most valuable audience for this would be editors — the people who make coverage decisions and write the headlines and set the tones for their respective sports sections.
Thomas’ entire piece is worth your time and attention. Addressing Kaepernick, he writes:
People all over America and around the world believe in your cause. They support you. And they need to hear directly from the man who inspired an entire generation of athletes to find their voice and use their platforms and follow in your footsteps. We know we have a long way to go. We are definitely not “past kneeling”. You’ve inspired millions, but now the people are ready for your voice.

PARTIALLY-sighted Barry Hopcroft has joined a campaign for talking buses around Bognor Regis.
Barry spends about three months a year in the town centre with his daughter and her family.
He contrasts the lack of audio-visual technology, which speaks the route number and bus stops, on Bognor’s buses with the buses in London.
He said: “In London, where the buses have AV, you know where you are. It’s a form of sat-nav and it makes for much safer journeys.
“My guide dog, Marley, gives me independence and having AV on buses gives me a bit more independence.
“Around Bognor, I have to ask the drivers to let me know when we reach the bus stop I want. Sometimes, they forget and I can get stuck on a bus.”
The technology was also useful if a bus had its journey suddenly terminated , said Barry.
Aged 47, he lives in Clapham, South London, for much of the year. He has myopic macular degeneration as well as diabetes, which has also affected his sight.
He has added his voice to the petition launched by the Guide Dogs charity for the government to ensure all new buses are fitted with AV technology as recommended by the transport select committee of MPs.
Just one in five buses in the country has the equipment. Of those, 97 per cent, are in London.
A survey by Guide Dogs showed two-thirds of bus passengers with sight loss missed their stop in a six-month period.
Joel Young, from Guide Dogs, said: “Audio announcements on buses are very helpful not just for people with sight loss.”
The petition would help make buses more accessible to all. It can be signed at: www.guidedogs.org.uk

The Ebola outbreak had claimed the lives of more 11,000 people and has devastated entire communities at both an economic and psychosocial level, mainly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. There is a necessity to act upon the good intentions and circumstantial discourses, learn lessons and react, says Sandra Lhote-Fernandes.
The main lesson from this crisis has been the inability of health systems to deal with and control the spread of the epidemic. This inability brought to mind a well-known situation: the weakness of health systems in West Africa. Indeed, well before this crisis, access to health services, drinking water and safe sanitation facilities was insufficient, and the health statistics of the three countries among the most alarming in the world. The poorest populations, who were the most severely affected by the virus, had extremely limited access to healthcare.
This observation needs to be acted upon: react by going back on years of health systems being neglected, which have had serious consequences on the health condition of populations, and react by making long-term investments to build resilient health systems.
The Ebola crisis has highlighted the precarious state of health structures in these three countries. To strengthen them, it is absolutely essential for national governments, with support from international donors, to invest in infrastructure that is accessible and suited to the needs of the population, particularly rural populations who are the most isolated from health structures, and guarantee an appropriate number of trained and motivated health workers, particularly non-clinical workers and community workers. It will be necessary to reach the most isolated populations and restore trust in the health system, which has suffered during the crisis.
The lack of effective vaccines and drugs largely exacerbated the outbreak. Lessons must be learned in order to make treatments available and affordable. As Margaret Chan pointed out, “A profit-driven [pharmaceutical] industry does not invest in products for markets that cannot pay”.[i] The existing research system does not serve the interests of public health well because it relies on market incentives that skew the R&D agenda in favor of products that maximize profits for pharmaceutical companies. These companies are granted monopolies on products through intellectual property (IP) rules which enable them to set prices for new ones. The “post-Ebola” period must serve to implement a binding research and development treaty, at the initiative of the United Nations, that promotes public and innovative financing for priority public health needs and unlinks funding from the end price of medical products.
Finally, the epidemic could have been avoided with an effective information and surveillance system. Information systems are essential public health structures that provide the data required for planning, the allocation of resources, as well as for the surveillance and evaluation of health policies and programs. They depend on data collection and, once again, it will involve restoring trust and improving cooperation with communities.
All these recommendations require political will, expertise, but especially financing. Where is it to be found?

Obama administration officials have decided to limit refinancings of "underwater" Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages to a loan-to-value ratio of 105% so the new mortgages can be securitized, according to Federal Housing Finance Agency Director James Lockhart.
"That is why the line is drawn there," Lockhart said at a meeting of government accountants. The refinancing program is designed to lower borrowers' mortgage rates, which the Federal Reserve Board and Treasury Department are trying to drive down by aggressively purchasing GSE MBS.
About 75% of the mortgages with LTVs above 80% the government sponsored enterprises own or guarantee fit under the 105% cap. If the program is successful, four million to five million mortgages may be refinanced. Servicers are already "overwhelmed," Lockhart said, and they didn't want to push the LTV any higher because of capacity issues.
He also noted that the GSEs have other loan modification programs to deal with more problematic underwater mortgages.

I don’t know what wonderful thing 2011 has done for Kate Bush, an artist who likes to disappear for long stretches, but it must’ve been something pretty special for her to reward us all this thoroughly.
Back in May she released Director’s Cut, in which she reworked some of the songs from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes. And in interviews she gave at the time, she hinted that there was new material on the way, but gave no suggestion of when it would arrive. This, in the music biz, often means another three or four years of total radio silence.
So it’s an almost total surprise to discover that another album is due to hit the shops on November 21st. It’s called 50 Words For Snow, and it’s a seven-song opus (over an hour long, bargain fans) which is described as being “set against a background of falling snow.”
Nope, I’ve no idea what that means either. The full tracklisting is as follows:
“Snowed In At Wheeler Street”
“50 Words For Snow”
Admit it, some of you are a little disappointed that there aren’t 50 songs, each one of which describes a kind of snow…Read More

Firm name and logo
A number of rules must be respected when choosing the name of a firm. The corporate name must be in French and comply with section 76 of the Code of ethics of chartered professional accountants, which prohibits members from carrying on their profession within a partnership or company under a firm name that is misleading, derogatory to the honour or dignity of the profession, or is a numbered name.
The legal form of the partnership or company (e.g. Inc., LLP, GP, undeclared partnership) must be part of the corporate name and appear on letterhead, business cards and advertising, as well as on commercial signs and other promotional materials.
These general rules will help you establish your firm’s corporate name:
- A dual designation (CPA, CA; CPA, CGA; or CPA, CMA) cannot be used in the name of a firm, whether or not the firm is a partnership or company.
- Individuals, partnerships and companies are prohibited by law from using the “chartered accountant,” “certified general accountant” and “certified management accountant” designations or the corresponding initials (CA, CGA or CMA).
- Individuals, partnerships and companies are prohibited by law from using the “professional accountant” or “public accountant” designation.
- The term “auditor” or its equivalent cannot be used in the name of a firm.
- The “chartered professional accountant” designation, or the CPA initials, can only be used in the name of the firm by a partnership or company if it is more than 50% controlled by CPAs practicing within the partnership or company.
- Members practicing as sole practitioners or as sole shareholders and directors of a corporation are subject to the same rules and therefore cannot use the dual designation in their corporate name.
Members practicing within a partnership or company (undeclared partnership, general partnership, LLP or JSC) cannot include “chartered professional accountant(s)” on their letterhead or business card. If they wish to include a descriptive style, they must use “partnership of chartered professional accountants” or “chartered professional accountant corporation”.

Chartered professional accountant
Descriptive style that complies with the regulations

Margo Anderson sewing pattern number 1302
Pattern includes sizes 2 - 30
Pattern condition: Uncut, factory folded and complete with instructions.
The pattern is printed on paper with colored cutting lines.
~ Item for sale is a sewing pattern, not a finished garment ~
The stretch choli is a modern interpretation of the traditional choi blouse worn under the sari by Indian women.
In some parts of India cholis are backless and held in place by narrow ties. The open back is usually covered with a long veil. These cholis are made of woven fabrics, often elaborately decorated.
As Tribal dance styles became popular in the bellydance community, costumers began to experiment with various garments inspired by the closely fitted, backless choli, incorporating modern western style elements and fabrics, and the need for garments that would move easily during the dance. One of the most successful variations was that of stretch fabric, and the garment known as a stretch choli was born.
Our choli pattern as a deep "V" neckline and an open back. It fastens with ties at the upper back neck and underbust band. A fisheye dart across the center front holds the fabric close to the body, and a separate pattern piece for sizes D-DD cups (D-E in European sizing) has lower darts to accommodate the fuller bustline. Sleeves can be cut short, elbow, or wrist length and an optional "cold shoulder" version is included.

Will it cost more to operate?
No. Operating costs will remain consistent.
The net operating costs of the new venue will be similar to those of the current Playhouse. Given the size and configuration of the new building, the operating and maintenance cost per square foot will drop significantly, especially in energy consumption and maintenance.
Event costs will remain the same. Overhead costs will increase marginally. And revenues will increase with the increased capacity.

This is the real thing, straight from Spain and translated for us by the ever-diligent David Rosengarten . For the best results, puree the vegetables in a Vita-Mix and strain through an Anolon cone strainer. If a Vita-Mix and Anolon strainer are not in your cupboard, it is delicious simply whirred in a food processor or blender.
- 2 ounces stale Italian or French bread, with crust
- 1/2 lb. ripe tomatoes, stems removed
- 1/4 lb. Vidalia onion
- 1/4 lb. cucumber
- 1/4 lb. green bell pepper
- 1/4 lb. red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar de Jerez
1. Break the bread into large chunks, place chunks in a bowl, and cover with cold water (about 1 1/2 cups). Soak until the bread is fairly soft, but not mushy, about 1-2 minutes. Squeeze the water out of the bread with your hands, and place bread in the container of the Vita-Mix.
2. Cut the tomatoes in quarters, and scoop out the seeds with your fingers. Discard seeds. Cut tomatoes in large cubes (you should have about 1 1/2 cups), and add to container.
3. Peel the onion, and cut into large dice (you should have about 1 cup). Add onion to container.
4. Peel the cucumber and cut in half the long way. Scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon, and discard seeds. Cut cucumber into large dice (you should have about 2/3 cup), and add to container.
5. Remove the stems and seeds from the green bell pepper and the red bell pepper. Cut each into large dice (you should have about 1 cup of diced green pepper, and about 1 cup of diced red pepper). Add cut peppers to the container.
6. Add olive oil and sherry vinegar. Turn Vita-Mix on at low speed, then ratchet up to high. Blend on high until the mixture is very smooth and velvety, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, then blend on high for a few seconds more.
7. Pour the gazpacho through the Analon Cone Strainer into glasses, or into a pitcher. Push gazpacho through the strainer with a spatula or wooden spoon. But it is important that you do not force through every last drop; leave the last bits of bready sediment behind in the strainer. Discard periodically. And don't scrape the gazpacho film that's on the bottom of the strainer into the finished gazpacho; simply clean your strainer under cold running water every few minutes, washing off the gazpacho film into the sink.

We are happy to welcome them to our team starting from this season. From their product range we have chosen the Bryton brand GPS cycle computers that will support the team’s cyclists throughout the season and the anti-puncture sealants and double-sided tape for tubulars of the Eleven brand. Their catalog is obviously much wider, with a wide choice for amateur cyclists.”
BRYTON – THE GPS CYCLE COMPUTER, RIDER 750

Perth’s, Jason Scrivener, is just two behind the lead as the Turkish Airlines Open heads into the weekend in Antalya in Turkey.
Scrivener put together a bogey free second round of 66 to be sitting just off the lead held by Austrian Matthias Schwab and with just this week and next week’s Nedbank Challenge remaining ahead of the season ending DP World Tour Championship Dubai, he needs to capitalise on this start if he is to force his way into the top 50 who will make it to the event in three weeks time
Scrivener is currently 61st in the Race to Dubai Rankings but his start has lifted him to a projected 54th. A good weekend might just be enough to qualify for Dubai without the pressure of being forced to play well in South Africa next week.
Scott Hend showed improvement on recent efforts to be tied for 25th, three shots behind Scrivener, New Zealander Ryan Fox is 33rd and Wade Ormsby 43rd in a field where this is no cut.
For the leader, Schwab, his start to the event continues an impressive run of form of late having been 4th in two of his last three starts and inside the top ten in five of his last eight.
The 24-year-old leads the standings in the highest number of top ten finishes on the European Tour this season, with nine.
Schwab has yet to win on the European Tour but many believe that once he does he will win many.
Despite an eagle at the first hole today he struggled through much of the front nine but things improved on the way home.
“I wasn’t really hitting them great at all, especially early on but kept it together,” said Schwab.
“Obviously the start was good with an eagle on the first hole, but then it was not very nice to watch I think. The long game wasn’t on but I managed to make a few good pars. On the back nine I found my swing a little bit and made a few good birdies coming home.”

Police investigate fatal stabbing at Schoharie County apartment building
April 7, 2018 —
CENTRAL BRIDGE -- Police say a dispute between two neighbors turned deadly overnight in Schoharie County. Officials say a 29-year-old man is dead after he was stabbed in the neck following an altercation with a neighbor in the apartment building he lived in. Police say there were many witnesses.
"We shut the lights off and locked the doors because we didn't know what was going on."
A late-night disturbance frightened residents at the Central Bridge apartment building, causing one to see what was going on outside her door.
"It was just disgusting, there was screaming, there was blood everywhere," she told us.
Police say around 10:30 p.m. Friday night, authorities received a call for a stabbing at 197 Church St., an 8-unit apartment building.
"Troopers responded and arrived on the scene in approximately three to four minutes and found a victim suffering from stab wounds to the neck,” NYS Police Capt. Michael Tietz said Saturday.
Police say the victim, who they say died on scene, was Zachary George, 29, and that the suspect was not hard to find.
"It was pretty clear who was responsible, he was immediately taken into custody, there was no struggle."
Kevin Hodgins, 30, was arrested and arraigned Saturday morning at Schoharie Town Court. He was charged with second degree manslaughter, and police would not comment on if Hodgins gave a reason for what they say happened.
"Whether or not self-defense played a role in this, we're not prepared to say at this time," police said.
Police did say there was a call to the building earlier on Friday - and multiple before that.
"Yes,” they said, “this is an area that was familiar with law enforcement."
Having seen disagreements between residents there on several occasions, police say this one went too far.
"It was just a neighborhood dispute over language, certain neighbors not respecting other neighbors, for it to evolve into this violent type of an incident, there's really no reason for it."
Hodgins pleaded not guilty. He is due back in court on Monday evening and is currently being held on $15,000 cash bail, $30,000 bond.

The director of Soundfestival said she was “hugely disappointed” yesterday after the north-east event was denied three-year funding by Creative Scotland.
Fiona Robertson insisted the festival, which was launched in 2004 and shortlisted for a prestigious award earlier this week, would continue.
But she admitted life would be hard with “no long-term security”.
The annual event – which features an eclectic programme of activities staged across the north east – has just been nominated in the Creative Programming category in the Scottish New Music Awards.
Ms Robertson was downbeat after Creative Scotland announced it would not be part of the Regular Funding Network for the period 2018 to 2021.
She said: “We are hugely disappointed that sound has not been awarded three-year funding.
“We had ambitious plans for the next three years, including increasing our support for composers and embedding our work even more closely in our local communities.
“We are committed to our work with the rich vein of new music created in Scotland. However, not having the benefits of guaranteed support makes this much more difficult and limits our reach.”
A Creative Scotland spokesperson told the Press and Journal: “Soundfestival has received continuous funding of between £125,000 and £140,000 per year through Open Project Funding for the last three years.
“The highly competitive Regular Funding application process has seen demand far outstripping available funding. We received 184 applications for 2018-21, requesting a total of £154million.
“Following the Scottish Government draft budget settlement, maintaining the funds available to us, we had an overall budget of just over £99million”.
There was better news for a range of arts and cultural organisations in the region, with six organisations in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire receiving a total investment of £3.6million.
A spokesperson for Aberdeen Performing Arts expressed delight about gaining funding of £1million, while Peacock Visual Arts has received £770,000 and the Scottish Sculpture Workshop £585,000.
Citymoves Dance Agency and Deveron Projects have benefited from £300,000 and £330,000 respectively, with North East Arts Touring (NEAT) awarded £250,000.
Emyr Bell, Executive Director of NEAT said “We are so pleased with this announcement, as a charity we are continually seeking funding from various sources and being a part of Creative Scotland’s Regular Funded Organisations means we have the security to carry on supporting rural communities across the region.”
Ms Robertson confirmed she would meet with Creative Scotland in the coming months to discuss the best way forward.
But she added: “Everything is now on hold until April.”


After two years of extensive research, a team of international researchers has determined the exact location from which they will extract ancient ice samples, dated to be 1.5 million years of age—older than anything ever uncovered before. The Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice (BE-OI) project aims to reveal more about the planet’s ancient climate while understanding more about the future of Earth’s climate. The team includes climate scientists from 14 institutions of 10 European Countries.
The drilling, which is not slated to begin until June of next year, will take place in an area of East Antarctica known as little Dome C where the ice is estimated to be 2.75 kilometers (1.6 mi.) thick. A press release from the British Antarctic Survey in 2016, when BE-OI initiated, cited Dome C as “one of the most hostile environments on the planet, and average annual temperatures are below -54 degrees Celsius.” Principal investigator and climate scientist Carlo Barbante predicts that it will take four years to complete the drilling.
Ice cores are cylindrical samples taken from ice sheets or high mountain glaciers. The layers within the samples are a record of what the Earth was like during the creation of that layer. The ice holds particles such as dust, ash, and pollen as well as small pockets of atmosphere. These air pockets allow scientists to measure the amount of greenhouse gases that was in the atmosphere when that layer formed.
Previous deep ice cores drilled by EPICA cover 800,000 years of climate and greenhouse-gas history. These cores demonstrated eight pronounced glacial cycles, each of which lasted up to 100,000 years. This new core will nearly double the climate record and extend to the Mid-Pleistocene Transition, which occurred one million years ago. Before this transition, glaciations happened every 40,000 years rather than 100,000, according to marine sediment records. Barbante told Nature that “a 1.5-million-year-old ice core will provide clues to what caused the transition—a major question in Earth and climate sciences.” This information will allow scientists to predict how ice sheets will behave in our warming world.
A press conference will be held next week (April 9) by the European Geosciences Union to share more specific information about the next steps of BE-OI.

A few of the challenges to cater for will embrace issues like administration, maintenance, security concerns, and personnel coaching and so forth. From the standpoint of administration, it is important to be sure that all autos are adequately documented. Be sure that all information about the truck, hiring costs per kg, capacity etc. are determined and such records are nicely maintained for future use.
With proper service and upkeep, your GMC-Chevy Duramax diesel engine, Dodge-Cummins diesel engine or Ford-Powerstroke diesel engine can final for years. In case you’re buying new, then you can start right away with a correct upkeep schedule, but for pre-owned autos, you possibly can’t tell how the earlier house owners might have cared for the truck. Knowledgeable diesel engine repair specialist can take a better look and let you know more about your potential truck’s past.
This is a large capital funding for many of these corporations. Most of them rely on the companies of economic establishments to help them obtain this objective. Without the help of monetary organizations, many of them will battle to get the trucks on their own.
Hiring a skilled driver means that: The choice so as to add a tri axle dump truck to your fleet of development automobiles is a clever one due to the sheer power and amount of fabric it may possibly haul from place to put from sooner or later to the next.
***4X4 Lifted vehicles for sale*** Principally lifted vehicles are those types which have the capacity to crush variety of things in a minute. This truck even has a capability to carry heavy equipments and machines from one place to another. It is usually known as as Monster Vehicles. It has lifted wheels in order that there won’t be any form of impediment in the crushing process, but when the Lifted is mixed with the 4×4 mannequin it provides some extra highlights to the truck. It’s because when the pace issue of 4×4 is combined together with the heavy load carrying capability than there may be the result of ‘higher load holding capability with larger velocity facility’ packed in this truck. Thus this can be a truck with improved efficiency to serve which is called as 4X4 Lifted vehicles.

TAMPA — The Bucs are not expected to sign former Eagles receiver Riley Cooper after a three-day tryout with the team during rookie minicamp.
Cooper, 29, hasn't played in the NFL since being released by the Eagles in February 2016. Coach Dirk Koetter said the former Gators and Clearwater Central Catholic star was promised a tryout before the NFL draft, when the Bucs took Penn State receiver Chris Godwin in the third round.
The Bucs already have a logjam at receiver with Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson, Adam Humphries, Freddie Martino, Bernard Reedy, Derel Walker, Thomas Sperbeck and Bobo Wilson on the 90-man roster.
The Bucs have not signed any tryout players from the rookie minicamp that concluded Sunday.
"I think it's getting tougher and tougher to make it," Koetter said. "When you start thinking about, 'Yeah, we'd like to have this guy, but who do you want to let go?' Not so easy."

SEEING SOMETHING FOR WHAT IT ISN’T:
Singular Objects and Editioned Sculptures Selections here from four distinct projects by Lars Fisk: Balls (1996-present), Trash (2008), the Self-Storage Volkswagen (2013) and Das Dings (2023). The Balls are a series of sculptures where familiar subjects such as a tree, a barn, or a UPS truck (to name a few) undergo a shape-shift into that of a sphere. As the artist says, “To make a ball of something is to abstract it into a kernel of itself. I want to strip it down to its most basic, identifiable features to see what we might find underneath the physical, like its essence. I’m curious about what happens to our perception when presented with something in this state. Can we still see it for what it isn’t?” “The sphere is the most pure and perfect of forms, a shape that lies at the heart of physics, philosophy, religion, geometry, and astronomy... it also presents the ultimate technical challenge for a sculptor. In a world in which most stock materials are based on straight lines, planes, and right angles, flawlessly bending these products to one’s curved will is an indication of an impressive mastery of technique and materials, as well as evidence of an overpowering desire for order. Fisk’s formal invention, sculptural prowess, and precise attention to detail yield sculptures that are surprising, humorous, accessible, and profound.” -Nick Capasso, Director, Fitchburg Art Museum The Trash series considers the issue of consumer waste and represents its signifying forms (garbage cans, trash bags, etc.) into iconographic sculptures carved in marble. In Trashbags, references to classical art history can be seen in its “drapery”, the traditional sculptors’ task of rendering the soft folds of fabric into the hardness of stone. And then in Trashcan, with its likeness to the fluted columns of Greco-Roman architecture. The Self-Storage Volkswagen is represented here by a series of large-format photographs of a VW van, modified to resemble a row of self-storage units. For this project, Fisk travelled across the United States and staged “pop-ups”, deploying the disguise in vacant areas wherever such a development seemed imminent. As stated in his travelogue: “Self-storage is a handy way to contain our bulging excesses of stuff. Boxy warehouses like these have been cropping up across America and can now be found anywhere, from our great cities to the most remote corners of the country.” These photographs echo America’s pioneering spirit (WESTWARD HO!) and at the same time, are a wry response to contemporary materialism. Aside from the images, the van itself, combined with its photographic facade, is considered a distinct work of art and is also offered here as a collectible. Das Dings (The Things) are sculptures made directly out of Volkswagens. Specifically, a rare model that was produced briefly in the 1970’s and marketed in the United States as “The Thing”. The design of this model was akin to “The Beetle” but without the friendly, rounded shapes of its sibling. The result was oddly similar to the ubiquitous Beetle and, to the artist, “seemed like some sort of cubist abstraction. It was already playing on a shift of identity that interested me so all I had to do was further the process”. Like minimalist sculptures, these objects are pared down to basic rectilinear shapes, trapezoids and parallelograms and like their automotive counterparts, are convertible- meant to be opened, closed, folded up and even rotated into a variable arrangements of form.

Miguel Bou is once again the fastest to cover the just over 3 kilometers of the test in the waters of Levante beach
More than 350 swimmers complete the 4th Crossing Heartbreak Benidorm
The second places in the male and female category have been also for local athletes
More than 350 swimmers have completed today the fourth Heartbreak Benidorm Crossing, organised by the local club Finisher with the collaboration of the City Council and companies in the city. The test, with a distance of just over 3 kilometres, has been developed in the waters of the Levante beach.
Shortly after 09.00 hours, and to the sound of Elvis Presley, the test began with departure and arrival from El Torrejó. Once again, Miguel Bou, from Alphaswim, was the fastest to cover more than three kilometres of distance, crossing the finish line with 42 minutes and 10 seconds and an average speed of 4.13 kilometres. Raúl Rincón, from the Finisher, was the second to reach the shore, with a mark of 43 minutes and 46 seconds. Seven seconds later, the third on the podium in the men's category, Mateo Pesquer, from Club Tiro Pichon Elche.
The first place in the women's category went to Ángela Cerdán, from the CN Master Natural Swim Petrer, who crossed the finish line in 47 minutes and 20 seconds. As in the men's category, the second place on the podium was also won by a local athlete, Eliana Sotelo, from CD Aguaviva Benidorm, who completed the course in 49 minutes and 12 seconds. Very close, with just six seconds difference, Esther Puche, from Petrer's CN Master Natural Swim, has also reached the finish line.
The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, and the Councilor for Sports, Mariló Cebreros, have participated in the award ceremony for the event, in which more than 400 swimmers had initially registered. Three of the members of the quartet of swimmers from the Benidorm Swimming Club who recently broke the Spanish record in the 4x50 meter relay test in the Benjamin category have also participated in the delivery.

There is a growing body of research designed to investigate the benefit of activities for Alzheimer’s. This research overwhelmingly concludes that appropriate activities have a positive effect on the behavioral symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease. As the disease progresses, activities that a person has been doing all of their adult life will become too difficult. Those activities have to be modified, or new activities found.
We subscribe to a very liberal definition of “activity”. Anything that keeps a person interested, busy, or in any way engaged, physically or cognitively, can be beneficial, and can be rightly called an activity. If she is not in some way engaged, she will fall prey to the “four a’s of Alzheimer’s”: anxiety, aggression, agitation, apathy. Then she will become difficult and unpleasant to be around. Your job will be harder, and her quality of life will be compromised.

The total RAM memory is 8GB of system memory and 1GB of video-card memory. Notice that only half of the system memory was in use. Moreover, that the processor (CPU) was only using 2% of its full power. I had a browser open and it was playing a YouTube video. The Ryzen 3 1200 quad-core CPU generally uses so little of its full power that the fan of the power supply seldom comes on. The 64-bit system hardly ever uses more than 4GB of its 8GB of system memory when playing videos, browsing online, doing office work, or all of those activities at the same time.
Overview of DDR5 RAM memory
DDR5 RAM memory (Double Data Rate 5 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory) is available. However, it will be probably be at least a year or more from now (April 2022) that motherboards and processors are made available that support it so that it takes over from DDR4 memory. In April 2022, Dell was selling its desktop PCs with DDR4 memory.
Released in 2021, DDR5 is the 5th generation of Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, (DDR5 SDRAM). In 2017 the industry standards’ body JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) started DDR5’s development with input from the leading global memory semiconductor and chipset-architecture manufacturers. Designed for the next decade of computing, DDR5 uses less power, provides higher performance and stronger data integrity than its predecessor, DDR4, but is more expensive.

RAM memory requirements of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10/11
A 32-bit version of Windows 10 can only use around 3.2GB of RAM if the system has 4GB, which is the maximum for a 32-bit operating system. I have come across 32-bit versions of Windows that won’t boot if the system has 4GB. I have had to reduce the installation to 3GB. Fortunately, in those days most systems had 4 x 1GB DIMM memory modules, so I just had to remove a single module. A 64-bit system might work using less than 4GB of memory but it will be slow and get slower as more demands than the boot-up take place. Windows 11 is only 64-bit now because a 64-bit system can run as much RAM memory as its motherboard can accept.
RAM memory requirements of Chromebooks and tablets
As is the case with a 64-bit workstation, for a Chromebook or tablet, 8GB of RAM memory is enough to do everything you need to do on those devices. 4GB is the minimum amount of RAM memory that you should choose for a Chromebook or tablet. The Chrome operating system that Chromebooks run comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. To find out which version of Chrome your Chromebook is using, click the menu button at the top-right corner of the Chrome browser window, point to “Help,” and select “About Google Chrome.” – It is advisable to upgrade to 64-bit Chrome because it is more secure, stable and faster.
Remember that a Chromebook is really just an enhanced Chrome web browser. In fact, the Chrome operating system, Chrome OS, like Android, is a stripped-down version of Linux, the free open-source operating system that comes in many other free distributions, such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
For more information on Chromebooks, read the following article:
I need a new laptop – Should I buy a Chromebook? –
Windows 10/11 laptops, workstations and gaming computers
RAM memory requirements obviously depend on what a particular computer’s main purpose(s) are. 8GB of RAM memory is enough for running office-work applications, web browsing, and even low-end games on laptops and workstations.
Remember that Windows 11 only comes in 64-bit versions. Windows 10 comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions that date back to July 29, 2015, the release date of Win 10 to retail vendors. Note that the end of Windows 10 support is on October 14th, 2025.
Windows (and macOS users) should find 16GB of RAM to be more than double the amount of memory that most tasks use, such as multiple applications and web browser tabs. Only mid-to-high-end games might use more than 8GB.
32GB RAM is ideal for demanding game-playing, for running applications and for professional graphics designers. That said, if you are a 3D modeller or computer engineer, 64GB RAM will better satisfy your needs and provide a noticeable increase in performance.
Applications that use the most RAM memory
When deciding how much RAM your PC needs, add up how much memory your most-used applications use. Windows 10 and 11 have a minimum memory requirement of 4GB and macOS Mojave requires at least 2GB.
The Processes tab of the Windows Task Manager shows how the available memory is being used. The image below shows how the 8GB of a Windows 10 desktop PC that is streaming a video is only using 44% of its memory and 11% of its processor’s full power. The Firefox web browser that is doing the streaming is only using 364.4MB of memory, which is only 0.9% of the total 8GB.
Note that if there is not enough memory to run the processes and programs, Windows uses its virtual-memory swap file, which operates very slowly compared to memory if the storage drive is a mechanical hard disk drive. But if the system is using a M.2 NVME SSD that process is almost as fast as RAM memory, so the use of such a drive does not slow the system down to the point of being noticeable.
The most RAM-intensive applications
3D modellers and graphic designers use the most RAM-intensive applications. Professional tools, such as Maya and Adobe Premiere, that usually recommend between 16GB and 32GB of RAM, depending on how you use the programs. Adobe Premiere, for example, requires 32GB of dual-channel memory for developing 4K screen-resolution or higher projects.
RAM memory requirements for games
Gaming PCs often need an absolute minimum of 8GB of RAM, but ideally at least 16GB of RAM to run the latest AAA titles. Games like Elden Ring are memory-intensive, so have a requirement of 12GB RAM. Therefore, if you want your PC to run smoothly when playing games and while running other processes in the background, 16GB is ideal.
That said, many PC gamers don’t just play games, they stream as well. While games won’t benefit from a performance increase when installing more RAM, if, some reason, you also want applications, such as OBS Studio running in the background, 16GB would enable doing that without affecting your gaming.
OBS Studio (also known as Open Broadcaster Software Studio) is “free open-source and multiplatform software for video recording and live streaming. With OBS Studio, you can stream on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Huya, Douyu, VK, and any other RTMP server. Windows, mac OS X , and Linux versions are available.”
The fastest RAM runs at the highest frequencies measured in MHz
With regard to the different speeds of DDR4 and DDR5 memory, you will come across the specifications in the names of each module. For example, two types of DDR4 memory that have different speeds (frequencies) are called DDR4-1600 and DDR-3200.
In this case, the numbers at the end – 1600 and 3200 – denote the memory’s speed (frequency) e.g. 3200MHz. As with the processor (the frequencies of which are measured in gigahertz (GHz) not MHz), the higher the frequency, the faster the memory can perform. This doesn’t necessarily mean that your RAM will run at this speed, it’s the manufacturer’s way of telling you that the modules have the capacity of working at that speed.
Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) and AMD Memory Profile (AMP)
Note well that on-board memory profiles can be activated via your PC’s motherboard’s BIOS. For example, if you purchase a DDR-3200 DIMM module of RAM, it will work at its stock speed of 2133MHz unless you set the BIOS to do otherwise. Before doing this, however, you’ll need to ensure that your PC’s motherboard supports Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) and the speed your RAM modules are rated for. Note that this is different from overclocking your PC’s memory, which means running it at BIOS settings above its rated speed.
Note that XMP is Intel technology that is not compatible with an AMD-based platform . That said, some AMD-based motherboards do provide a feature called AMD Memory Profile (AMP) that functions in the same way as XMP. You also enable it in the BIOS or through AMD OverDrive.
How to enable XMP to run your RAM at full speed
How to enable XMP to run your RAM at full speed –
When you buy high-performance RAM it only runs at stock speeds out of the box. Here’s how to change that.
Future-proofing your computer
The RAM memory requirements of a computer probably change faster than its hardware components become outdated.
Depending on what you use it for, a new computer can last you for as long as 8 years or more these days. What you are using your computer for at present may require using more memory in a few year’s time. That is especially the case with a laptop because mid-range laptops usually come with less memory than a desktop PC.
For that reason, it is a good idea to find out if you can upgrade the RAM memory before you buy a brand-name desktop PC or laptop.
Given the very high speeds of multi-core processors and M.2 NVMe storage drives compared to hard drives, upgrading the memory is probably all you will need to do to have a much faster computer instead of having to buy a new one.
If you are building your own PC…
If you are building your own desktop PC, make sure that the motherboard you choose has a free memory slot. For example, you might buy an micro-ATX (mATX) motherboard that has only two memory slots. (A full-size ATX motherboard usually has four slots.) You could buy two 8GB modules to make 16GB when it would be better future-proofing to buy a single 16GB module so that you can install another 8GB or 16GB module in the spare slot at a later date.

Achieving Healthy Nutrition Behaviors
Question: What nutrients does my body need to maintain healthy nutrition habits?
Response: There are lots of nutrients that can assist your body to become the image of health. Vitamin A is an essential nutrient that can be found in vegetables and fruits. Aiding cell recreation, Vitamin A helps vision, promotes bone and tooth development, and helps to keep healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes. A lack of this vitamin can cause such troubles as light loss of sight, bad bone development, dry skin, and weak tooth enamel.
Doctors advise 10,000 IU a day for an adult male, and 8,000 each day for adult females to preserve healthy nutrition routines.
Vitamin C is another among the most essential vitamins for preserving your health. 60 milligrams daily are suggested for groups of both sexes. This vitamin works as an antioxidant, safeguarding your body’s tissues from the damage of oxidation. Vitamin C also has actually been discovered to be an effective antiviral representative, protecting your body from different illness.
A crucial consider attaining healthy nutrition habits is to keep your mineral usage at its current levels. The word “mineral” explains any non-carbon-based substance that serves a function in the body. Some develop bones and teeth, while others perform such jobs as managing contraction. Minerals are categorized into two groups based upon the human body’s need for them.
Major minerals are minerals that our bodies need in quantities greater than 100 milligrams daily. Major minerals include calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium.
Minor minerals are minerals our body requires less than 100 milligrams per day of. Iron, zinc, and iodine all fall under the small minerals classification.
Proper usage of these minerals integrated with a diet plan that fits your lifestyle can lead you well on your method to obtaining healthy nutrition routines.

Tampa (CNN) – A new national survey illustrates the challenge Mitt Romney faces at the Republican convention as the GOP presidential challenger gets re-introduced to the American public.
While a CNN/ORC International poll indicates the race for the White House between Romney and President Barack Obama is in a dead heat among likely voters, new numbers from the survey released Sunday indicate that as of now, Obama's personal characteristics outshine those of Romney.

According to the poll, 53% of likely voters say Obama cares about the needs of people, with 39% feeling the same way about the former Massachusetts governor. The president leads Romney in the poll by an equal margin when it comes to being in touch with the middle class. And six in ten say Obama is in touch with the problems facing women today, with just over three in ten feeling the same way about Romney.
Forty-nine percent say the president is honest and trustworthy, with 42% saying the same thing about Romney. The poll indicates likely voters are divided on which candidate has a more optimistic vision for the country's future, is a strong and decisive leader, shares your values, and inspires confidence. Romney has 48%-44% margin over Obama on managing the government effectively and a six point advantage on having a clean plan for solving the country's problems.
"When it comes to the personal qualities of the two major-party candidates, the choice seems to be between compassion and competence in the eyes of many Americans," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "The public gives Obama a big advantage over Romney on questions on caring about people and understanding their concerns. Romney's strong points appear to be his skills as a manager and having a clear plan to solve the country's problems."
"The challenge facing Romney at the GOP convention is to build on those managerial strengths while at the same trying to convince average Americans that he is in touch with their problems. Obama's personal characteristics, for the moment, outshine Romney's," adds Holland.
The survey also indicates that 43% say Obama doesn't change his mind for political reasons, with 39% saying the same thing about Romney.
Reacting to the poll, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, on CNN's "State of the Union," said at the convention "We have to tell the Mitt Romney story here. People are just getting to know Mitt Romney."
The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International Wednesday and Thursday (August 22-23), with 1,055 adult Americans, including 924 registered voters and 719 likely voters, questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points, with a sampling error of plus or minus 3.5% points for likely voters.
CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.
Romneyhood only cares about the 1%.
Did you add the option to choose "Neither" on your poll? Because that would win hands down.
obama/romney two of the same. I am ONLY voting for Dr. Ron Paul, the father of the Tea Party, the ONLY candidate who will bring all of our troops home ASAP to defend our borders. the only candidate with a plan to cut the budget by one trillion dollars, the ONLY candidate who will follow the Constitution, the ONLY candidate for life, liberty and freedom.
Who cares– Like him all you want his record shows he either dosen't care or has no understanding of what caring for the country means.. That's what is important
Either of them care about the middle class, but I dont really want a President that panders to me, offering me more junk and continuing to add to this huge defecit. I support Romney, lets get our Fiscal house in order..
Obama of course; Mitt and Ryan are out there for the 1% ......not all Americans and if you believe otherwise....
your way off course. Proof is in the Pudding
As far as the Romneys are concern, "you people" are just a means to an end to get to the White House.
Not even close. The GOP cares nothing about average Americans. They believe in the trickle down economic theory and really don't even recognize that it never trickles down. The Dems at least have people in their midst that understand tough times, suffering, and trying to get by. That is no where to be found in the GOP.
P.S. I wonder what actual percentage of the country actually still has a land line.
Romney will manage the government better – are you kidding me – he can't even manage his mouth. The government is not a business despite what George W. and Romney think. It is a service oriented organization, not about making profit but about serving the citizens of the country. Romney has never had any experience at anything like that.
Neither of them can break 50% approval consistently.
Dems and Reps, different pages from the same bad book!
I don't like Big Government – but I don't like Romney (Big Business) any better.
What we need are people that will govern with sound economic ideals, and those that will leave the theological rhetoric at home.
mitt romney the best candidate for prez
The question is not who cares about any one group but rather who will be the most even-handed when dealing with problems. Who will make sure that children will be well-educated and have opportunities Who will help to insure that our young people have jobs? How will the needs of senior citizens be addressed? Who will make sure that veterans returning from the war have jobs? Who can make us all feel they have each of our interests at heart?
he business world of Mitt Romney is not very friendly. Big business owners are often more interested in making money to wow the shareholders. The attention to employees is not as strong.as it should be?
The President must have compassion and courage? The President must have the the abillity to bridge the gap between the haves and the have nots? This President must reassure voters that he will not cater to those who paid for his election?
I rather vote Jill Stein of Green Party. She cares about you more than either Romney or Obama!
One has to wonder, given the state of the economy, the 23M who are either unemployed or underemployed, what will motivate people when they actually vote. Given the amount of pain and anxiety in the country right now, I would put my money on the candidate with the "clear plan for soling the country's problems," numbers taken from your poll below.
Has a clear plan for solving the
Aug. 22-23, 2012 Obama 39% Romney 45%
of course this is a cnn poll and you can bet that the majority of the "likely" voters are registered democrats.
►CNN Poll: Which candidate cares more about you?◄
The one that has a more diverse audience when you look at the tube!!
The one who "did not" wake up yesterday thinking differently from yesteryear
The one who the other side took the initiative to maliciously label – OBAMACARE!!
YES, OBAMA does CARE more about the "middle class" and the majority of America!!
Obama 2012 – The Only Trusted Way Forward!!!
Mitt Romney loves to throw people off his path. Now he believes in this, now he doesn't. The world may never know...
He will have to check with his corporate sponsors for the appropriate response, then cross check with polling of his base, and then confirm the best way to word the answer with his team of corporate marketing experts.
Mittens is not one of us. As a plutocrat, he does not understand democracy, the middle class, the poor, minorities, seniors, veterans, or young people.
For an anchor baby, Mittens should self deport himself, and then he could see first hand if it works.
Romney retroactively cares when it fits the crowd,its hilarious when he pretends to care about the middle class because you can see right through his lies,double ditto for Ryan
Mittens care about corporations, money laundering, tax evasion, shipping jobs overseas, illegal tax returns, and somehow putting $100 million in an IRA.
President Obama cares the most about the American people. Romney hasn't a clue about the everyday life of people trying to make it. Obama has been there and done that..I don't even care to hear Romney speak because he isn't sincere and I can tell by the way he speaks that he is uncomfortable. If you think that Obama can turn this country around from the mess he got when he became president in his first term is unrealistic. Also, Congress has not helped with ANYTHING...
Funny poll. The majority thinks Obama cares more about them and yet will cast their vote for the other guy? That guy Mitt Romney who we all know is nothing more than a lying sack of crap?
Well, if they do vote for Romney and he does win, chances are his voting base is going to be terribly disappointed very soon into his first term, which will once again create a downturn in the trust factor for ALL politicians. He IS a proven liar after all. Can't imagine what makes them think he'll be something else if elected. Especially after Nixon, another proven liar before elected - and proved to be a pathological liar after elected.
Might just as well stay with the guy we've got and elect those who will work with him, not against him.

The wetland ecosystem in the Central Rift Valley is the largest freshwater ecosystem of Ethiopia with considerable economic, ecological and social significance. It is a biodiversity hotspot for flora and fauna, and contains diverse water plants and water birds, of which most breed in the ecosystem. The lake is also used for drinking water, small-scale commercial fishing, and small-and largescale irrigation agriculture. The landscape is a key sourcing area for export and local market-oriented agro-commodities, including flowers, wine, beef, fruit and vegetables as well as staple crops.
IDH is a trusted neutral convener in a complex landscape that plays a key role in fostering dialogue and joint action towards a sustainable landscape. IDH convened companies, government and CSOs to jointly identify priority interventions and co-invested in their implementation. By the end of 2017, the public-private coalition is running four field-level projects: a water allocation plan development for the Ziway Shalla sub-basin, a reforestation and alternative incomes project, GAP certification for smallholders to allow for responsible agrochemical and water use, and a solid waste management pilot in Ziway town, to avoid further contamination of the lake. By 2020, the landscape program aims to have an economically viable governance model up and running, locally owned to address land and water management issues to ensure a sustainable Central Rift Valley Landscape of 14,000 square kilometers.
Changes in Bussiness PracticesPrivate Sector Investment Ratio Target 2020 1Target 2017 1Result 2017 1A batch of green beans, onion and cabbage smallholder farmers were GLOBALG.A.P. certified for the first time ever in Ethiopia, changing their practice to an improved and measurable level of agrochemical and water use. They sell their produce to Ethiopian airlines. It may seem a small step, but other farmers will see the benefit of certification, which is projected to create a pull. Five flower farms, Castel winery and Verde beef PLC were convened by IDH in a PPP coalition, all jointly co-investing with IDH on projects outside their farms to help restore degraded land in communal areas. IDH program partner Verde beef set up a tree seedling nursery on its farm to raise seedlings for planting on degraded communal land to contribute to reforestation and alternative income-generating projects that IDH had started with the other companies. Through the IDH FSI program in Ziway, the flower companies are shifting to integrated pest management, and are implementing waste water treatment and recycling artificial wetlands.
Change in Sector GovernanceEffectiveness of convening role (target 2020 not set) 0Target 2017 (not set) 0Result 2017 7We localized the IDH program by rebranding it as the “Ziway-Shalla Sustainability Partnership”. PPPs are new in Ethiopia. Being visibly aligned in the landscape (by billboards and other means) shows alignment and is crucial to promote projects as joint achievements. Through the partnership, companies and regional and local governments have started dialogue on major sustainability issues such as flower waste and agrochemical management. The partnership attracted new, important stakeholders like the Oromia Regional Authority for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, as well as Oromia Investment Commission. Haile Resort and Ziway Lodge also joined the coalition to scale up field-level projects. Discussions have started with the Dutch Embassy in Addis Ababa to join as an observer. A roadmap for the implementation of a Water Allocation Plan in Ziway-Shala sub-basin was designed through collaboration between Rift Valley Lakes Basin Authority and IDH.
Field Level Impact# producers/workers reached target 2020 1,025Target 2017 270Result 2017 429Three types of protection/restoration activities were carried out in the reforestation projects: Replanting of tree seedlings: 44% of the seedlings survived. Area enclosure: the replanted sites and other marginal sites were protected from animal and human interference. Native vegetation quickly recovers if protected and has a much higher survival rate. Gully rehabilitation: 1.5 kilometers of gully was rehabilitated through construction of gabion check-dams. The effect of this intervention will be known after the rainy season.A pilot solid waste management project was carried out in Ziway town to help curb pollution entering from selected waste dump sites to Lake Ziway. The project availed 6 communal waste skips, 80 roadside waste bins, and 10 waste transporting carts to the municipality to better manage waste. A micro-enterprise of 10 youths was established as a result of the project to continue waste management as a business. Currently, the project covers less than 5% of the town due to capacity issues with the local municipality, but has high potential for scale.
Companies saw our tangible results and wanted to be part of it: for reputational reasons, and to achieve more impact on water quality and use, reduction of pesticides and landscape restoration.
There is a lack of high quality implementing partners (IPs) in the landscape, making it difficult for IDH to scale its interventions effectively. IDH is therefore looking for alternative IPs and exploring other options. Alignment and dialogue between public and private partners in the landscape is of vital importance, and can help ease tensions. The Water Allocation Plan (WAP) development with Rift Valley Lakes Basin Authority (RVLBA) is getting crowded by multiple international donors. With an increased number of initiatives and limited (institutional) capacity of the RVLBA, processes are time consuming and progress limited. IDH will co-finance the initial water balance study needed for the WAP and also continue building the capacity of RVLBA.
