A few people have asked me why I wanted to base a new web design and digital marketing agency in Chilliwack, of all places. The simple truth is that as someone who was born and raised here, it’s a place I’ve always really loved. While I’ve visited 38 countries and spent time living in many of them, there has always been something magical about this little Canadian mountain town.
My previous web venture was based out near Toronto. While I worked remotely or from Chilliwack, most of our clients were from out east. One of the main advantages of Lindell Media, and one that I’m looking forward to, is helping some of the talented business owners that have chosen to locate their businesses here as well. I’ve always imagined Chilliwack becoming a technology hub at some point, as it seems to have a nearly perfect blend of lifestyle, geography, and leisure activities, all of which would appeal to some of the larger technology companies.
So if you’re in or near Chilliwack and are looking for help designing, building or maintaining a website, online or social media presence, then get in touch with us via the menu up above and we will surely be able to help.

I’m going to be up front with this review and inform you that I’ve known the author of this comic for several years.
Now that I have that out of the way, I want to be clear that I’m giving this book my honest opinion to the best of my ability. As a comic book fan, I love checking out solid indie comics and when I had the opportunity to get my hands on Soulfinder Demon’s Match, I jumped on it. I’m a man of faith, but I don’t prefer my comic books getting preachy and the creators putting their personal beliefs into the book unless it fits the characters and the story. After reading this book, I really felt that Douglas Ernst was able to deliver a magnificent story with an interesting character on an intriguing subject without inserting any sort of agenda or preaching to the reader.
I strongly suggest you give this book a read! If you didn’t back the Indiegogo campaign for this graphic novel, I heard a rumor that Doug and his creative team may be secretly working on a publishing deal with this book so you can potentially pre-order it soon.
Follow his blog here and check out my in-depth review below:

With Dusty Baker's pitching rotation thrown into a turmoil just eight pitches into the night, it was the Reds' bullpen that carried the night for Cincinnati and has given the Reds a one game lead in their best of five National League Division Series with the Giants.
The Reds defeated the Giants 5-2 at AT&T Park in San Francisco Saturday night.
Reds opening game starter, Johnny Cueto, a 19-game winner in 2012, lasted just eight pitches before leaving the game with back spasms.
"When I was throwing long toss, nothing happened, everything was feeling well," Cueto said through an interpreter after the game. "It was only on the last two throws when I felt a sharp pain on my right side."
Baker was at a loss after the win to determine when, and if, Cueto will be able to throw again in this series. "I can't say for sure, but you know how back spasms are. When it lets you go, it lets you go when it wants to," Baker said.
Cueto said he felt better after the game.
Baker had to turn to his bullpen -- statistically the best in the National League in 2012 for an early bailout. He got one. Sam Lecure, someone considered "on the bubble" to make the post season roster gave the Reds an inning and two thirds of shutout baseball.
That allowed Baker to give Mat Latos, penciled in to be his game three starter in Cincinnati next Tuesday, plenty of time to warm up. Latos followed Lecure with four innings of four hit one run baseball. Latos was pitching on just three days' rest for the first time in his Major League career. In four innings, Latos allowed just a run and four hits.
When asked afterwards as to when he'll pitch again, Latos responded, "You know as much as I do about that."
The offense was provided by home runs, something the Reds have relied on heavily this year for run production. Brandon Phillips got the Reds started with a two run home run to left field in spacious AT&T Park in the third inning. Jay Bruce followed with a solo shot over the 421 feet marker in right center field.


Knoop Hardness Test
It is an optical method in which the size of the indentation left by the indenter is measured.
In Knoop hardness testing machine the hardness of the material is calculated by using a diamond tool.
The procedure will be as given below,
- First, the sample is prepared for the test and kept under the tooltip.
- With proper settings, the diamond tip is pressed onto the sample surface.
- This produces an indentation on the surface of the sample in the shape of a pyramid.
- The depth of the impression will be approximately 0.01 to 0.1 mm when applied 1 Kgf force (or less than that).
- The impression is then observed using a calibrated micrometer as shown in the above image.
- The lines are set to the impression endpoints and height and width is calculated.
- Now, after finding the area of impression Knoop Hardness(HK) is calculated using formula.
HK = 14.229(Force applied in Kgf / Area in sq.mm)

Freezing Temperatures Mean Time to Prepare Gardens for Winter
Posted By News On October 10, 2009 @ 6:25 am In Today’s Local News | Comments Disabled
With near or below-freezing temperatures in the forecast for this weekend, area gardeners will need to take some precautions to preserve their plants and flowers. Master Gardner Nancy Spoelstra, of Pella, says all annuals should be taken inside, cut back, or slipped – which means cutting off a piece and starting a new plant. She adds that gardeners can also cut back some spring-blooming plants.
Nila (NEYE-lah) Landsperger, Knoxville Hy-Vee Garden Center Manager says residents should also dig up bulbs which won’t make the winter; while planting tulips, daffodils, and other winter-ready bulbs before the frost sets in. Also, those with pumpkins as part of their fall decorations should bring them inside or cover them up on nights when the temperature will dip below freezing.

ABSTRACT This historical article presents information about the public health nurse's bag as used in mid-20th century America. The bag was an essential of practice, containing items necessary for providing home care to the sick, maternity nursing, health demonstrations, and other functions within the role of public health nursing agencies or private organizations in which nurses gave home care to multiple patients. Contents of the bag and specifications for their use are described. The historical use of the bag as both a repository for the instruments of skilled care and expert knowledge and of bag technique as a means of infection control may help explain the endurance of the black bag as a symbol of public health nursing.

YouTube Music is becoming a real successor to the Google Play Music app, but there is still a long way to go. Fortunately, developers add new features almost every week, and when they don’t, they test new features on different platforms.
Reddit users recently noticed that YouTube music developers (via XDA developers) are testing a brand new feature that allows mobile users to listen to a library playlist.
The ability to download songs from your library is probably one of the most requested features and is likely to become available to mobile users soon. Reddit user Iordbrack claims to have found a new “Library Tracks” playlist on the YouTube Music app on Android that also has a download button that allows users to download one or more tracks for offline listening.
The Library Tracks playlist is automatically generated by the YouTube Music app and looks like a standard playlist. The difference is that you can also download the music to your phone aside from the fact that you can shuffle the playlist.
Although the feature is fully implemented (it shows a 404 error), Android users who find it on their devices can download it and view the playlist offline. It looks like the new feature is still in the works, but at least we know that YouTube Music developers are working hard to bring the app to the level of Google Play Music.

Serbia: Gazprom Has Not Announced Plans to Scrap South StreamEnergy | December 2, 2014, Tuesday // 10:09| views

Serbia has not been officially informed by Gazprom about any change to the project for the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline, according to Energy Minister Alexander Antic.
Antic’s response to the announcement of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the suspension of the South Stream gas pipeline was cited by Russian media outlets.
During his visit to Ankara on Monday, Putin suggested that Russia would drop the gas pipeline project, taking into account the opposition of the EU to it and the failure of Bulgaria to issue a permit.

Dr. Marcela Almeida studied as an undergraduate in Rome, Italy, and graduated from medical school in her native Brazil in 2002. Shortly after receiving her medical degree, Dr. Almeida chose to practice in a remote area of Northeastern Brazil, the poorest region of the country. She regards that experience, and the lessons learned there, as the most crucial for her medical career. She completed her post-graduate studies and her residency at the University of Chicago, where she became an avid advocate for minorities and underserved populations—especially women of color. Dr. Almeida then served as Director of the Women’s Mental Health and Reproductive Psychiatry at the University of Illinois, the largest specialized program in the US, where she treated women with psychiatric manifestations related to their reproductive cycle, including pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and menopause. In addition to patient care, she directed the women’s mental health fellowship program and conducted research that focused primarily on burnout and de-stigmatization of mental illness among Latinas. In 2017, she joined Harvard Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where she has mentored trainees from underrepresented minorities, and provided care for women with chronic mental illness while striving to reintegrate them into society.

Nick Giannakos dances around
being a Broadway diva
Nicko Giannakos will not be going all Showgirls on Ross Petty's ass. Despite being the understudy for the leading role of the evil stepmother in Cinderella: The Gags to Riches Family Musical, Giannakos has no plans for accidents involving staircases. "Ross is not one to take shows off," says Giannakos, "but I'm a different kind of understudy. I'm more apt to say, 'You owe me if I have to go on. I'll do my job, you can do yours.'"
Giannakos is busy enough without plotting against his employer, "I'm in the show every night regardless. Right now I'm focussing on my ensemble work and once we get the show open, I'll spend a little more time worrying about my understudying. We have a lot of musical numbers, there are nine production numbers just in the first act. We're busy but it's a lot of fun. I was a dancer first so I like to dance around, I studied classical ballet and moved into musical theatre in my early 20s. Dancing is always going to be my first love but I also enjoy the singing and acting. Singing and dancing is my thing." And Giannakos admits, modestly, that one has to be a triple-threat, "You have to be versatile to keep working today."
Versatility is one of Gianakos' strengths, he has worked at Stratford and across the country in musicals ranging from West Side Story to Mary Poppins. "The job itself is not all that different, but the pantomime environment is very different. Every year you create an entirely new show and some artists go through their whole lives without playing a part that you get to define. The freedom of creating your own character. If you do Chicago, you're playing a part that's already been created by another person. The Cinderella rehearsal hall is a very creative place, very open. It doesn't matter if you're the bottom of the ensemble or the lead of the show, if what you say is funny: it's in. I make stupid jokes all the time and usually in the rehearsal process everyone just giggles and we move on. With this process, it might end up in the show. It's a very inspiring environment."
An environment that Giannakos is apparently suited for, "I always knew I'd eventually end up in a pantomime. I'm a pretty silly guy and this is a pretty silly place." When it was noted that Giannakos was very comfortable, even enthusiastic about, making a fool of himself, he had to agree, "If the shoe fits."
And shoes are the only concern Giannakos has about playing the Nasty Stepmother. "I've only done drag one time. I dressed up as Liza Minnelli in Cabaret for Halloween. One year a group of my friends went as 'Broadway Divas.' I think I was pretty fabulous at it but I just don't understand why a person would want to walk around in heels all night long. It was the biggest mistake and by the end it was kind of embarrassing. I said I'd never do it again . . ." And this from a performer who learned to stilt walk for the musical version of Lord of the Rings.
"Anyone who's seen a panto before should recognize the character of Plumbum, who is of course played by Dan Chameroy. She is an absolutely hilarious drag queen and her character is back this year as the Fairy Godmother. She definitely makes it worth seeing Cinderella, she is ridiculous. Plumbum is more like the drag queens in Montreal. I found when I moved to Toronto that the drag here was so much more serious, like they were more worried about looking like women. I'm not that well-versed on the subject but we don't have the equivalent of those crazy drag queens who come out and do stand up. Plumbum is more reminiscent of that, she's definitely crazy."
Will Giannakos be able to fill Petty's shoes if a staircase does get involved? And will he be able to do so without being hopelessly upstaged by Plumbum? He thinks so, "We all have a Broadway diva inside whether we want to admit it or not," but in the meantime he has a lot of dance numbers and silly jokes to perfect.
Cinderella runs Fri, Nov 21 to Sun, Jan 4 at the Elgin Theatre, 189 Yonge St. rosspetty.com

Crown counsel has charged Kamloops resident Christopher Mathes with animal cruelty under the Criminal Code of Canada in the beating death of the family’s Chihuahua-mix dog on Thanksgiving, 2015.
BC SPCA investigators say the incident occurred during a family dinner, when the five-year-old dog named Jersey bit a family member, causing a small wound.
“Mathes allegedly took the dog outside and beat him repeatedly over the head with a four-foot-long fence post,” said BC SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty.
“The BC SPCA was alerted to the situation and found the dog buried in a cardboard box.”
Moriarty said the necropsy performed on Jersey showed that the dog, who was adopted by the family through a rescue group, died of blunt force trauma caused by multiple blows to the head.
If convicted, Mathes faces a maximum fine of $75,000, up to five years in jail or up to a lifetime ban on owning animals.

Agriculture insurance is a national necessity
Posted Tuesday, February 5 2013 at 02:00
Ms Obel, a resident of Tororo was very excited about the prolonged rains late last year that she planted an additional five acres of the maize crop hoping to cash in on this good fortune.
This was before, Striga, a common parasitic plant laid waste to her entire plantation. With this misfortune went the over Shs5 million she had invested in the venture.
In Magoro Sub County, Teso, a similar and equally devastating story was playing out. Mr. Atim, an aspiring cattle rancher, lost his fledging herd to a rare livestock disease. His dreams of reaping big from the Naads provision faded away much like his cattle.
Agriculture provides a significant economic base for the country employing about 80 per cent of the population either directly and indirectly, while contributing about 22.5 per cent to GDP.
The government and donor driven programmes that provide more disease resistant crop and animal breeds, as well as grants and advisory support, to farmers across the country have been largely welcomed.
However, despite efforts made and the overwhelming contribution of this sector to the country, agriculturists especially small scale farmers who dominate it, remain severely constrained.
This is particularly so in areas involving risk.
All this lays the argument for access to a type of insurance tailored to the needs of the local farmer.
This would serve to compliment, and surely improve on efforts made thus far by the government, the donor community and individuals.
Agricultural insurance provides a relatively simple and yet affordable risk management option for even small scale farmers.
It provides payment to policyholders in the event of loss or destruction due to disease, pests, drought, floods and other forces of nature.
Compensation is at market prices for the loss incurred in the case of crops; especially well cost of veterinary treatment for sick animals and monetary value of the animal at the time of purchasing insurance in the case of total loss.
For a country endowed with fertile soils and favourable climate, agriculture provides the potential for economic muscle globally if appropriately harnessed.
Much has been said about what needs to be done to transform this sector from one of subsistence and hobby farming, to a well planned and adequately resourced venture.
Insurance is a major stakeholder, and together with existing strategies must form part of the framework into achieving this transformation.

Experience News in a New Way
Two men in Miami were fighting on a highway off-ramp when — some way, somehow — the suspect ended up naked and began chewing the victims face off.
A police officer showed up and ordered the man to, you know, stop being a cannibal. When that didn’t work the officer shot the guy once, but even that couldn’t stop him from chowing down.
Doesn’t the officer know you have to shoot zombies in the head to kill them?
The cop fired at least half dozen bullets, finally killing the undead dude. The victim is fighting for his life.
Maybe there’s a need for that zombie apocalypse survival kit after all.

Matt, a young glaciologist, soars across the vast, silent, icebound immensities of the South Pole as he recalls his love affair with Lisa. They meet at a mobbed rock concert in a vast music hall--London's Brixton Academy. They are in bed at night's end. Together, over a period of several months, they pursue a mutual sexual passion whose inevitable stages unfold in counterpoint to nine live-concert songs.Written by
Sujit R. Varma
The 9 songs to which the title of this movie refers are:
"Whatever Happened to My Rock and Roll", Black Rebel Motorcycle Club "C'mon, C'mon", The Von Bondies "Fallen Angel", Elbow "Movin' on Up", Primal Scream "You Were the Last High", The Dandy Warhols "Slow Life", Super Furry Animals "Jacqueline", Franz Ferdinand "Debbie", Michael Nyman "Love Burns", Black Rebel Motorcycle Club See more »
Cutaways during several different band performances, such as close up of backup guitarists, are from different parts of the shows and often don't match wide shots of the band or shots of the singers. See more »

i disagree with the negative comments on nine songs.....spotted a review on the film back in October and put it in my brain diary as one to watch!....it popped up at the Jameson film festival and so an opportunity arose to see what all the fuss was about.......thoroughly enjoyed all 65 minutes!......thought the film was beautiful at times,sad at others but basically real....was blown away by the piano pieces....yeah the film did begin and end with zero character development but so what, that wasn't the aim of the film...it just lets u wonder ...(and want to go to the antarctic!!).......an artistic film well worth a watch in my opinion....enjoy!

Iran is brushing-off the Trump Administration’s decision to end waivers for some of its biggest oil customers.
China, India, and Turkey were among those initially granted exemptions without facing renewed U.S. sanctions. But those waivers will end May 2.
CGTN’s Nathan King explains the decision.
It’s part of an effort to ramp up pressure on Tehran after the unilateral withdrawal by Washington from the Iran nuclear deal.
The U.S. administration wants to stop all Iranian oil exports.
“Today, I am announcing that we will no longer grant any exemptions,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.
“We’re going to zero – going to zero across the board. We will continue to enforce sanctions and monitor compliance. Any nation or entity interacting with Iran should do its diligence and err on the side of caution. The risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi called the sanctions “illegal.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran basically considers the granted waivers as worthless,” Mousavi said.
According to Pompeo, Iran’s oil revenue used to be $50 Billion a year. Pompeo contends that number has been reduced by $10 Billion since the U.S. imposed sanctions last November.
But, because Washington unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal while Tehran was in full compliance, there is little appetite from other nations to comply with U.S. demands. Turkey has already expressed its opposition, as has Iraq and China-the biggest buyer of Iranian oil.
#Turkey–#Iran relations gain strength day by day, contributing to regional peace&stability. We do not approve unilateral sanctions against Iran. Sanctions will only harm the Iranian people&international cooperation. Iran’s constructive contributions are needed, not its isolation. pic.twitter.com/iybsW9iUsf
— Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu (@MevlutCavusoglu) April 17, 2019
“China has consistently opposed the U.S. implementation of unilateral sanctions and the so-called ‘long-arm jurisdiction,'” Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Geng Shuang said.
“The cooperation between China and Iran is open, transparent, reasonable and legitimate, and deserves to be respected.”
Whether Washington will follow through with its threat remains to be seen. Several of the nations that rely on Iranian oil are U.S. allies.
Italy, Greece, and Turkey are all members of NATO. Japan and South Korea key U.S. allies in the Asia Pacific.
Washington says energy supply disruptions can be solved by increasing supply from Saudi Arabia – Iran’s main regional adversary – and from other oil producing nations.
Saudi Arabia and others in OPEC will more than make up the Oil Flow difference in our now Full Sanctions on Iranian Oil. Iran is being given VERY BAD advice by @JohnKerry and people who helped him lead the U.S. into the very bad Iran Nuclear Deal. Big violation of Logan Act?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 22, 2019
But, for many nations, it’s not just about the oil. It’s about standing up to Washington when it comes to global governance over energy supplies and resisting the White House policy of economic and diplomatic warfare against Iran.

(ZIZ News) – Prime Minister, the Hon. Dr. Timothy Harris said his administration cannot achieve true prosperity for all while violent crimes linger in St. Kitts and Nevis.
As a result, Dr. Harris said the government will spare no expense to address the crime situation.
He used a local radio station to update nationals on the work of his administration since taking office.
“We have determined that we would put all the resources that we reasonably can muster in support of the agencies of law and order in the country,” the Prime Minister told listeners on Friday.
“That is why when the police came and said we needed this very special microscope that will go a long way in determining firearms; their ownership, tracing, making connections between murder here and murder at this particular time because we have the shells, we have everything, we said that we couldn’t put a price on life. And though it astounded many of us to know that the microscope will cost us near a half a million dollars, we found the resources to do so,” he added.
The Prime Minister further stated that with the assistance of eight law enforcement experts, the forensic capabilities of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force are being significantly enhanced.
He said, “We determined that forensics was the way to go and we put away special space at Lozack Road Police Station to develop a modern forensic lab. We have about three police officers already trained in that particular area, some undergoing further training to come back and take over from the foreigner we have providing leadership in that particular facility. In the fight against crime, we will spare nothing.”
Prime Minister Harris also used the opportunity update the nation on work to establish a Small Business Fund at the St. Kitts and Nevis Development Bank, reform of the Citizenship by Investment Programme and the progress of the Sugar Workers’ Restoration Fund.

Normally, I like my hip hop to be devoid of R&B as much as possible, and to not use autotune. It's just a preference from being middle aged and growing up on late 80's/early 90's hip hop. By all usual standards I should hate the latest song from Boston's Oompa. "Go" is pure R&B with liberal use of autotune and just the sprinklings of hip hop. But... this is Oompa. Oompa radiates a natural charm that is impossible to resist, even if the song wouldn't normally be something you like. "Go" may be R&B, and mostly modern R&B, but it does have a certain 90's flair to it, back when I was a little more (ok, a lot more) open to the genre. Even if you don't think you'd be into it, you owe it to yourself to at least check this song out.
You can watch the video for "Go" below. For more on Oompa, check out the artist on Facebook and Twitter.

The Belgian world music group Think of One have been on the road for more than 10 years now, a cross-cultural moveable feast housed in a raggedy fleet of vans, trucks and trailers.
Their base of operations is in a former military warehouse on the edge of Antwerp. It's here that they store their original East German Barca van, which they have adapted to open up to make three levels – brass on the top, bass tuba in the middle, guitar and vocals at the bottom – and which has served them as an impromptu stage in countless stops along their decade-long journey.
The core band numbers a half dozen – three brass players, a drummer, bassist, and guitarist – and they've just finished the first gig of a new tour for a new album, Camping Shaabi, that mixes, in Bovee's own words, "Berber rhythms with Django Reinhardt".
The band's guitarist, singer and main songwriter, Bovee is a longtime veteran of the travellers' movement. He is the only band member still living full-time on the road. But, he admits, "It's getting much harder. There were three big camps in Antwerp – a mix of Turks, Romany and travellers. Sometimes there'd be clashes, but we were all in the same boat." He shrugs. "Then they literally cleaned it out, brought in container trucks. I live now on what looks like a touristic mobile home. But we know all the good spots for stopping, we know where can stay for two or three nights before moving on."
Think of One grew from a loose, communal pool of musicians and friends based in Antwerp. Right from the off they were jamming with African musicians based in Belgium, mixing it up with their own angular, sometimes atonal European folk, rock and jazz dynamics. Their first single release was so home-made it was packaged in a coffee filter stuck on to cardboard. A year or so later they'd acquired the Barca van and set out on the road to play their first festival.
"What turned it around was that van," says Bovee. "We kitted it out, and we went to Avignon, played on the street and had real success. Made enough money for petrol and pizzas. That was the start of Think of One in doing it yourself, so that whatever else happens, we've got our own stage. With these trucks we'll always be able to play on our own terms."
Their last album, 2006's acclaimed Trafico, took them to Brazil, where they recorded in situ with local musicians. Other projects have brought them together with gypsy, Congolese and Inuit singers and musicians, and for Camping Shaabi they've steered the compass back towards the Moroccan rhythms they started out with back in the Nineties.
"A percussionist from Marrakesh, Abdellah Marrakchi, came to jam with us, and we went back to his uncle's house in Marrakesh and stayed there for four months, really studying the rhythms. He introduced us to the Houara singer Amina."
Hourara is a powerfully rhythmic, full-throated, guttural vocal style. Amina Tcherkich, along with fellow Houara singer Lalabrouk Loujabe, are here with Think of One in Utrecht to take Camping Shaabi on the road. Though the album is stuffed with layers of samples, on stage it's the African elements that dominate.
Nor are they the only guests pitching tent with the freewheelin' Belgians. As well as shaabi singing star Mustafa Bourgogne and violinist Hakim Bouanani, the album features Gnawa master musician Abdul Kabir, who plays the ghimbri.
Shaabi is Arabic for ghetto, and it is a rough and ready street music, a dance style that weaved its way out of Egyptian pop and got itself restamped by radical Moroccan bands of the Seventies. It dominates the new album, from the opening song, "J'étais Jetée", all ebullient call-and-response choruses in Shaabi time signatures, to the likes of "Gnawa Power", a traditional tune with the ghimbri mirrored on bass and guitar. Even after the gig is over, the venue's after-house DJ spins superb Moroccan shaabi, as Think of One finally climb into the back of their van, heading towards the roads that'll take them to the rest of Europe, and the festival season.

Roasted Aubergine & Chickpeas
with Pearl Barley Jumble and Feta
A delicious mix of roasted sweet potato, tomatoes and aubergine, crunchy chickpeas, nutty pearl barley and creamy feta, this bountiful bowl of goodness is the perfect thing to fill you up after a long day. Seasoned with Middle-Eastern inspired flavours like paprika and cumin, served with peppery rocket (a good source of calcium) and finished off with a squeeze of fresh lemon, this healthy but hearty dish is a real weeknight winner.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
Baby Plum Tomatoes
Diced Sweet Potato
(May contain Celery)
Harissa Spice Mix
Vegetable Stock Powder
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. When boiling, stir in and dissolve the stock powder. Stir in the pearl barley. Bring back to the boil then reduce the heat slightly and cook until tender, 25-30 mins. Once cooked, drain in a sieve and return to the pan. Cover with a lid to keep warm until everything else is ready.
In the meantime, drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve. Trim the aubergine then halve lengthways. Chop each half into four long strips then chop them in half. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Zest and quarter the lemon.
Lightly oil two baking trays. Pop the diced sweet potato and chickpeas onto one and drizzle on another splash of oil. Sprinkle over the ground cumin, harissa spice mix (use less if you're not a fan of heat) and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine. Pop the aubergine and tomatoes onto the other baking tray then season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over some oil.
Place both trays in the oven, the chickpeas on the middle shelf and the veggies on the top. Cook until the chickpeas are crunchy and the veggies are tender and coloured, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.
When everything is ready, gently mix all the roasted veggies and the chickpeas through the drained pearl barley. Mix in the lemon zest, coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pop the rocket into a large bowl and squeeze over a little lemon juice, toss to combine. Share the jumble between your plates and crumble over the feta. Serve the rocket alongside. Enjoy!

Living Safety and Security Cases for Cyber-Physical Systems Certification
Safety cases are an established method within certification processes of embedded systems. They trace safety goals down to safety solutions, providing evidence for the fulfilment of a system´s safety properties. However, safety cases do not scale up to cyber-physical systems like platforms for autonomous driving or smart energy management due to the lacking support of security-specific aspects or of system changes. Within SALSA, our goal is to develop a novel tool-supported method of “living” safety and security cases enabling efficient compliance management in settings characterized by heterogeneity, cross-organizational structures, certification with respect to multiple standards and short release cycles. Core concepts within SALSA are a workflow-enhanced knowledge base supporting collaborative maintenance of safety/security evidence chains, coordination of tasks in multi-standard contexts and efficient handling of system releases.
SALSA has received funding from the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology under the funding program “IKT der Zukunft”, grant agreement n° 855383.

There are two ways a surrogate mother gets pregnant.
There are two ways a surrogate mother gets pregnant. In the first form, the surrogate mother’s egg cell is used to conceive the child. The sperm is donated by the male of the couple who opts for surrogacy.
In the other form, the surrogate mother only hosts the embryo. The embryo is created in the laboratory from the couple’s sperm and eggs.
This is a pregnancy where the surrogate is genetically related to the baby and becomes pregnant through artificial insemination. The sperms belong to the male of the couple.
When in vitro fertilization (IVF) is used either with the eggs of the intended mother or with donor eggs, the surrogate mother does not use her eggs and is genetically unrelated to the baby.
There are three stages to host surrogacy:
- Egg donation: The female intended parent or an egg donor undergoes special procedures to extract a few eggs.
- Fertilization: The eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory, resulting in embryos.
- Embryo transfer: The embryo is transferred into the womb of the surrogate mother. It can be transferred to the surrogate either fresh or after having been de-frosted from storage.
- For a fresh embryo transfer, the cycles of the surrogate and the egg donor must be synchronized, and this is done using hormone medications.
- In cases where embryos have been frozen already and the de-frosted embryos are being transferred, the surrogate mother is provided with hormone medications to “ready” her womb lining.
A surrogate mother must meet all the clinical requirements to maximize her chances to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF) in as few attempts as possible, as well as have a healthy, uneventful pregnancy and undergo an uncomplicated delivery. Surrogates can be a person with a relationship to the intended parent(s), such as a close family member or friend. The surrogate should:
- Be a woman between the ages of 21 and 41 years.
- Have had at least one uncomplicated pregnancy and live birth.
- Have a positive outlook about being pregnant and is in an environment supportive of a surrogate pregnancy.
- Be of a reasonable weight and have healthy personal habits (non-smoker, non-drug user, healthy diet, and regular exercise).

You may have considered using an experienced landscaper to design your yard. However, it is much less expensive and much more fun if you do it yourself. All you need to have is the right information on what to do. Continue reading in order to gain some great ideas on how to build the perfect outdoor space.
Make a sketch of your landscaping project ideas before you start digging. Sketching your ideas out first will help you visualize what you want the results to be, and therefore, you will know what materials you might need. Making changes to a sketch is much simpler than making a change to your yard.
Changing the edging on your beds can dramatically alter the look of your landscaping. Curved beds are a lot more up-to-date as opposed to straight lines and sharp corners. The fresh edges are a cost effective way to improve the look of your yard and flower beds.
A basic landscaping tip that can help anyone is to comprise a list of any needed materials before even beginning your project. It is terrible to start a project, only to realize that you don’t have an essential tool required to do the job.
If an outdoor kitchen is in your design plans, granite is the best choice when selecting a material for your prep surfaces. Even though marble and other materials may cost less, you are able to put hot items on granite without having to worry about getting ruined. Plus, it does not need a lot of upkeep.
Despite what most people think, it is not absolutely necessary for you to hire a landscaper to take care of your projects. Hiring a professional can lead to paying out a serious amount of money before all is said and done. It is a good idea to meet with a landscaping expert that can let you know what you should be expected to do and what to avoid.
Measure and get a rough estimate of the square footage of your yard before you buy plants and materials at a landscaping center. This makes it easier to know how much of every item you will need. This helps you to not waste money on gas and time by buying too much and having to return it.
Now you’re prepared to embark on your landscaping project. Great Job! Doing your own landscaping will improve the value of your home while saving you money. So get to it and start planning out your landscaping design; the sooner you start the sooner you’ll accomplish your landscaping goals.

The TOMODACHI Boeing Keio SFC Entrepreneurship Seminar Midterm Report
On May 22, 2022, TOMODACHI Boeing Keio SFC Entrepreneurship Seminar Midterm report was held online.
This year’s program started in December 2021; twenty-three (23) high school and university students participated. In order to delve deeper and build the necessary skills to lead and solve social issues, the students were divided into five groups. From January 2022, in their perspective teams the students brought their ideas and discussed ways to solve the social issues chosen based on their interests.
The five groups first undertook a voluntary activity for about three months and made presentations on the progress and future of their actions on May 22. Students worked on a wide range of activities, including community formation for students, interaction with people around the world, visualization of changes in the feelings of young people, and support for women regarding period and reproductive health.
Boeing Japan further showed its support and commitment to the program through the active participation of its employees in providing feedback and advise to the students after each group presentation.
On July 10th, three employees from Boeing Japan participated as guest speakers and gave presentations on Boeing’s efforts and careers. A debriefing session kicked off the program’s final day on July 24th. The four participants selected through the program are scheduled to participate in the training held in the United States in August. This year’s seminar theme is “Well-being.” Each student will consider social issues centered on Well-being.

Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic: We love the smell of freshly-smoked P Zero’s in the morning12 July 2019
The Mercedes-AMG A35 is a performance-orientated version of the Mercedes A-Class, which death-stares similar premium hot hatches like the Volkswagen Golf R, BMW M40i and Audi S3 Sportback.
Within its own brand stable, the Mercedes-AMG A35 is the range-entry Merc to wear the prestigious AMG badge, bridging the divide between the cosmetically enhanced A250 AMG-Line and the feral A45 S, the second generation prototype of which was seen blasting up The Hill at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The standard A-Class has a rather soft and understated look to it and, surprisingly, AMG’s design team has managed to remain relatively restrained in its reworking on the A35.
If the ‘regular’ version isn’t aggressive enough for you, then you may want to consider the optional AMG Style Pack that adds 19-inch alloys, tinted rear windows and an aero package with a rear wing, large front splitter and a rear diffuser blade.
For added aesthetic 'snootiness', you can also opt for the Sun Yellow paint job which brings a welcome level of unsubtle sportiness. We think it looks great and suits the car’s in-your-face character.
The inside story
The standard Mercedes A-Class is a class-leader when it comes to interior style, quality and comfort, so it comes as no surprise that the AMG A35 also leads the luxury hot-hatch market in this regard.
The same high standard of fit and finish is here, with a number of welcome sporty additions to help set the car from its standard siblings, as well as putting it head and shoulders above the rather frugal interiors of the Audi S3 and Volkswagen Golf R.
Head and legroom are good in both the front and the rear, though the larger sports seats might impinge slightly on rear passengers’ knee space when adjusted for taller occupants. There’s room for four adults and thanks to the A35’s five-door only layout, rear access is easier than in some hot hatchbacks.
Despite its four-wheel-drive – a system which can negatively impact on interior space in some cars – the AMG A35 keeps the same boot size as the standard Mercedes A-Class.
Luggage capacity is 370 litres with a low lip to help loading, which can be expanded by folding the 40/20/40 split rear seat down, it doesn’t fold completely flat but the option just to fold the centre does help carrying long items whilst still having seats available for 2 adults.
There’s still room for two sets of golf clubs, which is a notable improvement over the smaller, previous-generation A-Class.
AMG A35 equipment
All Mercedes-AMG A35 models come as standard with sat-nav, a reversing camera, climate control, keyless entry-go, a sports steering wheel with touch-control buttons and supportive sports seats, which are superb.
The AMG Premium Plus pack includes a Burmester stereo, adaptive LED lights, electric seat adjustment, the larger 10.25” central infotainment display and a panoramic sunroof.
There’s also Mercedes’ excellent MBUX infotainment system, that’s a doddle to use and responds quickly to commands.
In sportier modes, the AMG A35’s ride is overly firm and feels distinctly fidgety when driving at low speed or around town, but fortunately, things improve the quicker you go. The car on test featured optional adaptive dampers, which has three levels of adjustment to suit your driving style and road conditions.
Engine and transmission
The A35 is the range-entry hot hatch from Mercedes-AMG and its most affordable car to date. Both are significant milestones as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz seeks to broaden its appeal and customer base.
To facilitate this, AMG has toned down the power compared to the previous A45 and this new A35 offers a 302hp from a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. No real surprises there as this is the default engine capacity for so many latter-day turbocharged hot hatches. Mercedes-AMG does buck the trend to a large extent by fitting all-wheel drive as standard to the A35, which elevates it above the likes of the Honda Civic Type R and Renault Megane RS.
Drive is supplied via an AMG SpeedShift 7 speed dual-clutch transmission. The chassis has been designed to give more feedback and involvement for the driver whilst being easy to drive on a daily basis.
On the road
On the open road, there's more than enough performance on tap for most, particularly as it's shod with a series of grippy Pirelli P Zero's. The steering is well-weighted and grip and turn-in is remarkable, to say the least, with no understeer during hard cornering. The AMG A35 responds well to being driven enthusiastically, but never feels dangerous or ‘on the edge’.
There’s a natural comparison between this and Volkswagen’s Golf R, with the AMG 35 just piping the Golf R due to its chassis dynamics and feedback experienced by the driver.
Larger, more powerful brakes compared to the standard A-Class help reign things in while also improving handling as part of an AMG Dynamics programme, which can brake individual rear wheels to improve agility..
With four driving modes available to the driver, you can select between Slippery, Comfort, Sport and Sport+, each setting subtly changing the suspension, engine and throttle response whilst the DCT gearbox adjusts its change speed allowing you to dial the AMG 35 into any conditions you face while on the road.
There’s also an Individual setting that allows each of these parameters to be adjusted independently.
In its sportiest setting, the sports exhaust emits pops and bangs on hard acceleration and crackles and bangs whilst down changing and under braking, giving a sensory overload for driver and passenger mated to the superb chassis.
As with all modern Mercedes, the AMG A35 comes complete with a range of active safety systems, while an optional ‘Driving Assistance’ package adds adaptive cruise control, lane-change assist, active speed limit assist and active blind-spot assist.
The Mercedes-AMG A35 is marginally more expensive than its closest rivals, the Audi S3, BMW M40i and the all-conquering Volkswagen Golf R. Naturally, leasing will make this starter AMG a more attractive proposition, but you will need to factor in some extra spend to make the A35 the car you really want to drive.
In true Mercedes fashion, it offers a little more luxury and quality than the aforementioned rivals, with class-leading infotainment and an interior that’s miles ahead of the competition. If you like your premium hot hatch to have an expensive feel, the AMG A35 is the car for you.

BellBrook Labs Leverages Transcreener® Technology to Develop Essential HTS Assays for Epigenetic Targets
Product News Apr 18, 2011
BellBrook Labs has introduced an innovative line of EPIGEN Assays for high throughput screening of enzymes involved in epigenetic modifications. The new EPIGEN Methyltransferase Assay enables screening of methyltransferases, a family of enzymes that create posttranslational modifications of chromatin.
Although necessary for normal growth and development, epigenetic post-translation modifications, such as methylation, can also play a role in tumor development and cancer metastasis. As a result, many pharmaceutical and biotech drug discovery programs now contain key initiatives dedicated to the identification of methyltransferase inhibitors.
The EPIGEN Methyltransferase Assay will address the needs of these initiatives by enabling screening of the entire family of methyltransferase enzymes.
By utilizing its expertise in HTS assay development, the BellBrook team is able to offer generic, fluorescence based detection of methyltransferases. This novel approach avoids the difficulties commonly found in detecting specific methylated products.
In the case of methyltransferases, it proved difficult to develop an antibody that recognized S-adenosylhomocysteine - the product of methyltransferase reactions - without cross-reacting with the SAM substrate. Instead, a coupled enzyme assay was developed: the SAH product is first converted to AMP, which is then detected using the Transcreener® AMP/GMP Assay.
The EPIGEN Methyltransferase Assay provides robust activity measurements even with very low levels of SAM, while still offering the outstanding deck and signal stability that BellBrook’s Transcreener® Assays are known for. Follow-on assays are being developed to screen additional target enzymes, such as Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs).

Wearing of hijab during the international games had been banned by the FIBA earlier, which put the FIBA under the scanner. The stringent cultural norms among the Muslim caste public has put the partition of women in the sports in a tricky situation. Looking at the women wearing hijab lag behind in the sports due to their dress code problem has made Nike, one of the best-branded companies, to step in.
Nike has come up with the best outfit for the women wearing a hijab. The outfit called as the “Nike Pro Hijab” is something the company is been working on since a year. The outfit has been designed taking into consideration the athletes opinions. The hijab is a full pull-on outfit made up of stretchy, light fabric with a number of holes that provide breathability. It has an elongated back so that it will not come untucked. For now, the Nike Pro Hijab is available in three colors such as black, obsidian, and vast gray. The new sports outfit is supposed to hit the market by next year.
The fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad became the first American Muslim to win the bronze medal at the Rio Games that too wearing a headscarf last year. Similarly, the Muslim women participating in the U-17 Women’s World Cup 2016 wore headscarves during the huge “FIFA event.” Looking at the headscarves, the Soccer’s international governing body had lifted a ban on head coverings of the Muslim or Sikh players during the games in 2014.
After the ban, the governing body FIBA is under the scanner for taking such a drastic step without even considering the careers of the women wearing the headscarves.
Speaking of gender diversity, Nike proves to be the knight in a shining armor for the Muslim athletes.
For more updates please do stay tuned.

Taming of the Shrew
The enduring Shakespearean Comedy, Taming of the Shrew, has several important themes, among which are: the hurtful nature of shrewish behavior, male domination, and appearance versus reality. We will discuss these in this research paper. In The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare research papers, conflict and misunderstanding form the foundation of delightfully comedic theater. The various ruses being played out by different characters, assumed identities, and differential levels of cognizance regarding the complicated combinations of truth and fiction simultaneously operating challenge the omniscient audience throughout the play. The audience must be active in their participating with the story or they might lose track of the misunderstanding that are constantly developing.
Interestingly, the first misunderstanding is not directly connected with the overall plot of The Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare. In the introduction, Christopher Sly is misled by an adventurous Lord. The drunken Sly is told that he has been mad for the last fifteen years. A page takes on the role of Sly’s wife; the boy pretends to be a woman. Convinced he is the Lord of the home he is in, he becomes desiring of his “wife.” The actors involved in the ruse carry him away to watch the play The Taming of the Shrew.

Lehigh County Democrats marked an early start to the fall campaign season last night with a Candidates Night sponsored by the Lehigh County Young Democrats.
Before a small group of fellow candidates, Allentown Mayor Joseph Daddona, Carol McGinley, Democratic candidate for Lehigh County judge, and county commissioners Kenneth Mohr and Donald Wieand made some of their first public statements of the fall campaign.
Wieand, who is running unopposed for the 4th District commissioners seat, spoke of the importance for Democrats of a victory by Mohr over Republican Mahlon Hellerich in District 5. "The Democrats have a rather fragile balance of power on the board of commissioners and Ken's seat is the key to that balance," said Wieand.
Mohr said he believes he has helped bring the county "from a government of crisis to one of foresight and policy."
Daddona, who is being challenged by Republican Charles Theisen, said he doesn't want to leave the November election "up to chance," noting his narrow defeat eight years ago by just 119 votes out of 30,000. "Let's not let that happen again. Remember, no election is won till the votes are counted on election night."
Daddona outlined what he considers his five areas of achievement: public safety, economic development, neighborhood renewal, greater citizen participation and reduction in sewage plant odors.
McGinley said she has logged visits at "100s of homes" since the primary and before Labor Day. "I look forward to the campaign because I want to discuss the role of a judge, and how I am uniquely qualified to play that role by my temperament, my experience and my ability. And I look forward to learning from citizens how they view the role the judge should play."
Also speaking was John Wieand, Whitehall Township zoners chairman, who is a candidate for township commissioner. Wieand said he wants to make Whitehall Township's methods of handling commercial growth and development an example for other townships to follow.

Lina M. | September 26, 2014
Have you ever wandered by the courtyard at Idea Exchange Preston, looked at the sculptures and wondered what it all means and why is it there? Well we can help with that!
The artist Stephen Cruise was born in Montreal and studied at the Ontario College of Art. He has exhibited nationally and internationally since the early seventies. His work can be found in the streets of Toronto, in many private collections, as well as the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Cruise’s vision of “Stock” began as children’s wooden blocks stacked in the shape of a tree. Seven trees are found in the Cambridge’s coat of arms. So, seven sandstone tree towers with10-16 articulated book layers with sandblasted tree icons were then created for the courtyard. The trees are arranged in a pattern that loosely resembles the path of the Speed River as it defines the northwest boundaries of the community of Preston. The placement encourages visitors to interact with the “trees” and follow the river’s path as they meander through the courtyard to the library’s entrance.
Have you looked carefully at the wonderful art we have on display outside the Preston Library? Do so now and know that it truly represents the community of Preston! Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Q.1. Why did KLM Retail attend MAPIC 2018 in Cannes?
It’s an opportunity to meet with our growing group of international network partners and exchange perspectives, contacts and ideas for various brands expanding in different directions across Europe and beyond. It also provides us with a good opportunity to market some of our international projects, or those with international appeal such as our outlet projects in Ireland, Scotland, France, Denmark and our Elektrownia project in Warsaw – which will prove to be one of Europe’s best mixed-use projects for 2019. Our portfolio of international projects is growing.
Q.2. What are the most significant trends you identified at MAPIC 2018?
The world is rapidly becoming a smaller place from a retail point of view. Successful businesses are looking at a global footprint rather than merely their country of origin, facilitated by improving logistics network, availability of international partners and franchisees and of course the Internet.
The growing importance of online is causing all owners to examine how they manage, develop and invest in spaces to keep them relevant as places to shop and visit, when faced with a highly convenient alternative. They have yet to touch some markets to the same degree as experienced in the UK. The question of sustainability and profitability of this form of retailing still has a lot to answer. If out-of-town retail parks provided a second "retail playing field", the Internet has now provided a third – with obvious widespread rebalancing to be mastered.
Q.3. In light of the above, what advice do you have for investors and retailers?
Both sides need to consider the town centre environment becoming a far more diverse place. For retail brands this inevitably means mingling the largest and most successful businesses with a variety of local traders, in locations which are not dominated by shopping centres – especially the covered variety.
There is greater need for shops of a smaller, more human scale to accommodate independent brands on leases which are low cost and flexible: providing the environment for new growth to flourish. The diverse retail environment is an interesting concept around the UK and Europe.
Investors and local authorities need to strongly consider diversity in the overall pattern of uses and city centres encouraging and replacing offices, (which are often shipped out to the periphery) and residential, as necessary drivers of a healthy, busy urban core. There are some stark and unfavourable comparisons between vibrant continental cities and some of the UK's own, where our city centres have been "hollowed out" over time.

A Quiet Place remains one of the great Hollywood success stories of the year. The John Krasinski-directed film is on track to be one of the very biggest “not based on anything” horror hits of all time. Heck, unless Skyscraper performs at best-case-scenario levels, A Quiet Place will probably be the biggest not-based-on-anything grosser of the year in North America.
Whether or not it tops the box office in its third weekend of release, John Krasinski's A Quiet Place continues to be a huge horror hit. The Emily Blunt/John Krasinski chiller, co-written by Krasinski, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, is still pacing well ahead of most of its relevant competition in daily (unadjusted) grosses and relative 15-day totals. The $17 million flick has now earned $117m domestic, higher than the lifetime cume of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village (back in 2004).
CBS Corp. directors must face investors’ claims they improperly granted network owner Sumner Redstone millions in compensation after he became incapacitated in 2014.
There have been summers where I’d have to really bend over backward to find any major summer flicks that qualified as “female lead.” So, it’s a little heartening that this isn’t a comprehensive rundown of this summer’s multiplex offerings that happen to star ladies instead of dudes. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Gabrielle Union’s Breaking In got a note in the horror/thriller section while Ant-Man and the Wasp and The Incredibles 2 got a nod in the comic book/superheroes post.
Shares of Viacom (VIAB) have plummeted 30% over the last year and 8% during the last 12 weeks, as its struggles mount. With that said, Viacom could see its stock price pop if the entertainment company is able to report better-than-expected quarterly earnings results.
Corp.’s NBCUniversal has been reluctant to support OpenAP, a TV audience targeting concept from a consortium of TV networks, instead touting its own data and targeting efforts. Now, the media company is changing its tune. The goal is to “build a significantly more accelerated advanced ad business for all TV programmers,” said Krishan Bhatia, executive vice president of business operations and strategy at NBCUniversal.
If you dream of a glamorous literary side hustle alongside your quotidian office job, then Jillian Medoff, who is both novelist and management consultant, has advice on maximising efficiency: “If you cut out a lot of the excess, you can get stuff done.

is being complicated by concerns that independent shareholders in CBS could drag any deal into lengthy and expensive legal action. CBS is expected to increase its offer in the coming days, but people familiar with the matter say it is wary of paying a premium for fear of being cast as “bailing out” Viacom, whose performance has lagged behind the broader market. CBS and Viacom are yet to decide whether they will allow independent shareholders to vote on any deal, making it dependent on getting the agreement of a majority, or ram it through using Redstone family votes.

An increasing worldwide demand for meat will likely drastically alter human health, the environment and the global economy in the next 50 years, according to a new report.
According to a new Stanford University report, Livestock in a Changing Landscape (.pdf), the livestock industry is critical to the livelihoods of some 1 billion people and the global economy as a whole.
But it's also a major polluter, according to Stanford professor Harold Mooney.
"Without a change in current practices, the intensive increases in projected livestock production systems will double the current environmental burden and will contribute to large-scale ecosystem degradation -- unless appropriate measures are taken," Mooney said in a statement.
According to the report, livestock production accounts for 40 percent of global agricultural gross domestic product.
More data points from the report:
- Beef, poultry, pork, and other meat products provide one-third of humanity's protein intake.
- More than 1.7 billion animals are used in livestock production worldwide.
- Those animals occupy more than one-fourth of the Earth's land.
- Production of feed for those animals consumes about one-third of total arable land.
- The livestock sector is responsible for about 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
- The rapid growth of commercialized industrial livestock has reduced employment opportunities for many.
- Large-scale industrial production has displaced many small, rural producers in developing nations such as India and China who can't meet global health regulations.
The other problem? The livestock sector is a major environmental polluter. It requires lots of water, fertilizer, pesticides and fossil fuels.
What's more, all that animal waste is polluting land, water and air resources -- a health hazard for many.
The report did come with two primary suggestions:
- Implement more environmentally and socially sustainable practices to animal production systems.
- Adopt policies that provide incentives for better management practices that focus on land conservation and more efficient water and fertilizer use.
"This is the first time that we've looked at the social, economic, health, and environmental impacts of livestock in an integrated way," Mooney said. "[We've] presented solutions for reducing the detrimental effects of the industry and enhancing its positive attributes."
Apr 8, 2010
I grew up on a family hog farm, but believe it or not, much of what you say is true. Livestock and meat consumption are major consumers of agricultural resources. However, I would argue the success of large "industrial" livestock operations comes about because they are simply more economical than family livestock operations (but with more of the other problems you point out). However, the vast majority of humans love their meat. We are biologically predisposed to prefer meat because of its unique protein and energy attributes. As an example. the quickest and biggest win to be made in fighting man-made global warming would be to ban all meat consumption. Unlike other areas of greenhouse gas production, we already have cheaper and readily available alternatives which would harm the environment much less. Yet you almost never hear any advocate against global warming suggest that meat consumption should be ended. The truth is most of these people will put up with underpowered cars and draconian cap and trade taxes, but they will not let anybody get between them and their steaks.
We need to stop using hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, etc. before we worry much about greenhouse gas emission. These items are messing our bodies up (obesity, mental disorders, various other failing body functions).
