“Dr. Doom” Roubini, who accurately predicted the financial tsunami in 2008, said the global economy, including the U.S., will fall into a “long and ugly” recession by the end of this year, and it will not be able to get out of it throughout 2023, S&P said. The 500 is on the verge of a sharp correction of a 40% slump.
“Even in an ordinary recession, the S&P 500 could drop by 30%,” Robini said in an interview on Monday (19th). “If it’s a real hard landing, it could drop 40%.”
The chairman and CEO of Roubini Macro Associates believes that just by looking at the huge debt ratio of US companies and the government, it is known that the US economy will not be just a mild recession. As interest rates and debt-servicing costs rise, “a lot of zombie institutions, zombie families, businesses, banks, shadow banks, zombie states are all going to die. It’s going to be seen who’s swimming naked.”
Robini sees an “impossible mission” for the Fed to hit its 2% inflation target and keep the economy from a hard landing, predicting a 3-yard rate hike (75 basis points) in September , the interest rate will be raised by 2 yards each in November and December. This means that by the end of the year, the target range for the federal funds rate may rise to 4.00-4.25%.
But even so, with wage and service-sector inflation so stubborn, the Fed “may have no choice” but to keep raising rates, moving the federal funds rate toward 5%.
At the same time, the effects of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Covid-19 epidemic, and China’s zero-removal policy continue to ferment, making borrowing costs higher and economic growth weaker, which means that it will be difficult for the Fed to achieve a “growth recession” (long-term sluggish economic growth and unemployment. rate rises, keeping inflation in check).
Robini said that when the global economy enters a recession, governments will no longer be able to use fiscal stimulus because they have already run out of silver bullets. Moreover, fiscal stimulus in a high-inflation environment will only overheat overall demand.
So,He predicted the stagflation of the 1970s and a repeat of the heavy debt pressures of the global financial tsunami. “It won’t be a short, shallow recession, but a deep, long and ugly recession.”
He predicts that the U.S. and global economies will not emerge from a recession throughout 2023, the extent of which will depend on how severe supply chain shocks and financial stress are. During 2008, households and banks were hit the hardest,This time, corporations and shadow banking (such as hedge funds, private equity, etc.) will be the hardest hit.
Robini’s new book, “Megathreats: Ten Dangerous Trends That Imperil Our Future,” presents 11 medium-term negative shocks that could raise production costs and undermine potential economic growth, including: deglobalization and protectionism; manufacturing relocation from China and Asia to Europe and the United States; aging populations in both advanced and emerging markets; global climate change; US-China decoupling; immigration; recurring epidemics, etc. He believes another outbreak will occur sooner or later.
He advised investors not to place too much weight on stocks and hold more cash. While the value of cash will be eroded by inflation, it’s still better than stocks and other assets that could lose 10%, 20%, or even 30%. In fixed income, it is recommended to stay away from long-term government bonds and increase short-term government bonds or anti-inflation bonds (TIPS).

I believe that we are responsible for creating our own destinies. I don’t believe that some outside force has predetermined my life goals. I never attribute anything odd or surprising in my life to fate because I don’t think that the idea of fate actually exists. I don’t waste my time wondering how and why I was put here on earth; I live my life on a day to day basis and experience life for all it’s worth instead of preoccupying myself with a question that will never be answered. Being an atheist does not make me a bad person.
Life as Atheist
Many people dislike my point of view because it implies that the world is ultimately chaotic and has no real meaning. I wish that other people would busy themselves with making their own lives worthwhile instead of worrying about why we’re even here. Nobody else is going to do that for them. Perhaps it’s comforting for people to know that they’re not just pointlessly here for no reason at all. I can relate to that. If I thought about it too much, I would find it very difficult to function on a day-to-day basis in a world that is ultimately meaningless and absurd to me. However, there are the diversions in life that enable me to continue to function. I go to school, I go to work, and I have family and friends to surround myself with. I immerse myself in literature, I write, I play video games, I go for walks in the rain, and I like to eat ice cream. It is these things, big or small, that give me reason to wake up rather than the promise of a heavenly afterlife.
When I was a senior in high school, my grandpa abruptly died from heart complications. This wasn’t somebody who I was especially close to but I went to his wake and his funeral despite how morbid those ceremonies are to me because I didn’t want to be disrespectful. It was the first real wake that I had ever been to, and I spent most of my time as far away from the coffin as possible. I didn’t actually approach the coffin until the day of the funeral, and I wish I hadn’t; the image of my grandpa in a coffin has been permanently burnt into my brain. He looked like he was made out of wax and so unlike the person I knew when I was a little girl. I started to cry—not because I missed him, but because I realized that one day I was going to be that person. This isn’t to say that I didn’t miss him. If anything, I felt even worse for thinking about my own mortality at someone else’s funeral. However, just being there made me come to the realization that I too would eventually be in a coffin for everybody to see. People will be able to see my waxy body, pay their respects, and say to themselves that I’m in a happier place now. I am legitimately envious of people who have something to look forward to after they die because I am stuck with the reality that I won’t be anywhere at all.
I had never put so much focus on death until I had been to this wake, and it enabled me to come to a better understanding about other people’s beliefs. I’ve sent myself into panic attacks over what it’s like to die. I’m most afraid that it’s going to hurt and that I will experience pain that I have never experienced before. My heart will begin to stop beating and I’ll feel like I’m suffocating. I’ll be completely helpless. The worst part, though, is the consequence of my own beliefs. I’ll be neither here nor there and it’ll be as though I never even existed. A lot of atheists snidely remark that the religious use their faith as a crutch, and that may be so depending on context and how one frames it, but it’s still a crutch that I wish I could bare.
It’s been difficult marrying my two different beliefs together.
That is, it’s difficult to hold such an existentialist viewpoint about life while having such a powerful fear of death. Existentialism and atheism aren’t always mutually exclusive, but they are in my case. However, just as I do not focus on the meaning of life, I try not to focus on the meaning of death either. I’m only human though, and at times I find myself dwelling on death more than I would like to admit. It is this conundrum that makes beliefs like mine look unattractive and unappealing, but I do sincerely think that so much good comes of what I believe in.
I like that I can define myself and operate under my own values without having to subscribe to what society demands of me. Many people place so much importance on what other people think (or what scripture suggests is the proper way of living) that they begin to forget who they are, or who they want to be. Human nature is nonexistent to me; the only things that we naturally feel inclined to do are eat, sleep, use the bathroom, and have sex. Beyond that, there is no such thing as human nature. It is the society in which we live that creates the social constructions around us that people take for granted and mistake for “human nature.” I believe that I am responsible for all of my actions and that others are responsible for the identities that they create for themselves. In my eyes, responsibility ultimately takes the place of human nature and allows us to bare the blame. I think that if more people held this belief, we would become more conscious and socially responsible about our own culture, as well as the cultures that surround us.
I don’t think that there are many universal values that any one culture can agree upon. However, we’re all brought up with certain values. These values can’t necessarily be justified by the whole world, but they are still “our” values. I believe that we are responsible for our own values just like we are responsible for our own actions and the identities that we have created for ourselves. I could hypothetically follow all of the values of one society, but choosing to follow those values would allow them to consequently become my own values, by which point I am completely responsible for. I could choose different values at any time. For me, the close relationship that freedom and responsibility share enables me to be more socially responsible in my society.
I feel like communicating with people is so much easier this way. I feel more compelled to treat people right at every opportunity because there is no room in my beliefs for repentance. All I can do is ask others for forgiveness, which I think has lead to a greater level of thoughtfulness in my interactions with others. By not believing in something, I have come to find that I have more room to believe in all of the things that make my life good and worth living. I can place more importance on the things that most would normally take for granted. I don’t need a religious belief to make sense out of everything because everything important in my life already makes enough sense for me to be content.

New analysis reveals crippling cuts that will be forced on key frontline services including adult social care in Yorkshire and the Humber if the Government continues to back-track on their pledge to support councils in the wake of the Coronavirus crisis.
Local authorities are facing a £10bn Coronavirus black hole, forcing cuts across the board, with one of the biggest being to care, indicating a £3.5bn cut to adult social care this year.
Councils estimate the funding gap from coronavirus to be around £13bn in 2020/21, made up from extra spending and loss of income.
The Government have so far funded just £3.2bn of this, leaving a gap of around £10 billion.
This new analysis, based on 2019/20 budget estimates, shows Coronavirus-related income losses and potentially devastating impacts on social care across the UK, including:
- A £10bn Coronavirus black hole for local authorities, as mentioned earlier, which would mean £3.5bn cut to social care, as well £2bn to children’s social care and £700m to public health.
- The Equivalent of 23,155 adult social care places either reduced or gone completely in Yorkshire and the Humber, with over 225,000 nationally.
- Other key services at risk of cuts if the Government fails to plug the funding gap, including libraries, children’s centres, leisure centres, public parks, road safety, road gritting and street lighting.
In response to these potential figures, Cllr Shabir Pandor, Leader of Kirklees Council, said: “These figures are alarming and it shows the huge impact it’s going to have on our residents who are already suffering due to coronavirus.
“People will find these figures terrifying. There have been many sacrifices made, lives lost, business going but and livelihoods lost due to the Coronavirus crisis.
“Carers have gone through tremendous strains and pressures and families have been devasted.
“If we don’t get the support from Government then it will mean that they have been abandoned.
“It would be a scandal if Up to 1562 vulnerable people lose their care across Kirklees.
“As Leader, my Cabinet and I will do whatever we can to shield those most in need from these cuts, but the reality is that if Ministers suck another £10bn out of our budgets – on top of years of under-investment – then frontline services will bear the brunt and our community will suffer.”
Councils in England have already seen government funding reduce by £16bn since 2010, leading many to rely on income streams that have now been severely affected by the economic shock caused by lockdown measures.
Ministers promised to stand behind local authorities’ coronavirus-led budget reductions.
On March 18th ministers provided assurances that they would make sure the government provides “whatever funding is needed for councils to get through this and come out the other side”
However, last week, Ministers rowed back on those plans, with Communities secretary Robert Jenrick telling MPs that councils should not “labour under a false impression” that all costs would be reimbursed, provoking widespread anger amongst local government leaders and MPs.
Labour’s Shadow Communities and Local Government Secretary Steve Reed MP, said: “Carers and our loved ones they care for are on the frontline of the fight against Coronavirus.
“Local authorities are the biggest funders of social care in England – so when the Government promised to stand behind councils through this crisis Labour supported them.
“But now Ministers are breaking that promise, leaving councils with a £10bn black hole forcing 21% cuts across the board.
“Unless the Government drops those plans the frontline heroes we’re cheering will lose their jobs and the equivalent of 225,000 frightened older people and vulnerable adults will lose the support they rely on.
“That would be a catastrophe for social care, disastrous for those who lose support as providers are forced out of business, and would once again fail the very people putting their lives on the line to get us through this crisis”
“This government promised to do whatever it takes – if our loved ones see care taken away in their hour of need it will be devastating and unacceptable.
“The Government should change course, now.”

In Wyoming, the alpine tundra above the timberline is dominated by a variety of grasses and hibiscus plants herbs, shrubs, or small treessome that are also found in the Arctic tundra. The shrub layer has the most plant growth. Over the next thirty years, the nation's population will grow, and these newcomers will need a place to live, work, and play.
Biomes are defined as the world's major communities, classified according to the predominant vegetation and characterized by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment.
The northern coniferous forest is found in a broad sub arctic band across Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, and China, where the winters are long and cold.
The tank's capacity ranges from half a pint to 12 gallons or more. Examples include forests of Douglas fir, giant sequoia, and coastal redwoods.
So as you can see, some pollution comes from man made wastes, chemical wastes, garbage waste, but also naturally occurring.

Boiling Point Determination
Introduction: To learn how to investigate the physical property of boiling point. To carry out
experiments using a “micro” technique and calibration curve.
Chemical Responsibility: The unknown chemicals have hazards associated with them: methanol,
isopropyl alcohol, and ethanol are flammable liquids and are toxic by ingestion. Wear goggles to
protect your eyes from the chemicals, and avoid touching broken glass. Be careful while putting
the rubber stopper on the thermometer, for it can break. Throw all broken glass in the broken
glass box, and discard the unknown liquid from the small test tube into the bottle labeled
WASTE EXPERIMENT BOILING POINT UNKNOWNS.
Report sheet and sample calculations: see attached sheet and graph
Results: The boiling point was determined through the assembly of a thermometer attached to a
small test tube with rubber bands. Inside the test tube was a capillary tube submerged with an
unknown liquid. This liquid/thermometer apparatus was placed in a beaker filled with water.
This was placed over a Bunsen burner to allow the water to boil. When bubbles rose steadily
from the capillary then the heat was removed and the tube was observed until the bubbles
terminated. When this occurs, the temperature must be read on the thermometer. When this
occurred it means the boiling point of the unknown has been found, which is when the pressure
vapor inside the small capillary tube is equal to the atmospheric pressure. This procedure was
repeated twice to attain a measurable boiling point and to test

The moon, with its ethereal glow and ever-changing phases, has captivated humans for millennia. It has inspired countless poems, songs, and works of art, and its beauty is undeniable. But in recent years, a specific phrase about the moon has garnered attention: “Isn’t the moon lovely?”
This seemingly simple question, often spoken with a subtle smile and a shared gaze at the night sky, carries more weight than meets the eye. In Japanese culture, it’s a well-known expression used to express deeper emotions, particularly romantic feelings.
Here, we’ll delve into the meaning of “Isn’t the moon lovely?” and explore its cultural significance, historical origins, and modern-day interpretations.
The Cultural Context
In Japan, direct expression of emotions, especially love, can be seen as overly forward or even embarrassing. This cultural value stems from the concept of “amae”, which emphasizes interdependence and emotional closeness without needing explicit declarations.
“Isn’t the moon lovely?” falls within this context. It allows individuals to express their feelings indirectly, through a shared appreciation for the moon’s beauty. The phrase becomes a bridge between hearts, creating a moment of intimacy and unspoken understanding.
While the exact origin of the phrase is unknown, it’s believed to have been popularized by the renowned Japanese novelist Natsume Soseki. During his time as an English teacher, he supposedly overheard a student awkwardly translating “I love you” into Japanese. Soseki then suggested using the more poetic “Tsuki ga kirei desu ne” (which translates to “The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”) as a more nuanced way to express love.
While this anecdote remains unconfirmed, it beautifully illustrates how the phrase became associated with expressing hidden emotions.
In today’s world, “Isn’t the moon lovely?” continues to be a powerful expression of love and affection. It’s often used in anime, manga, and other forms of Japanese media, further solidifying its cultural significance.
However, the phrase has also transcended its cultural roots and resonates with people across the globe. Its elegance and subtlety offer an alternative to direct declarations of love, creating a sense of mystery and unspoken connection.
Here are some additional ways to interpret “Isn’t the moon lovely?” in a modern context:
- An invitation to intimacy: The shared experience of gazing at the moon creates a moment of closeness and vulnerability, allowing two people to connect on a deeper level.
- A declaration of appreciation: By appreciating the moon together, individuals acknowledge the beauty and wonder of the universe, and their shared perspective strengthens their bond.
- A promise of love: The moon’s enduring presence symbolizes constancy and devotion, making it a fitting metaphor for love that remains strong over time.
“Isn’t the moon lovely?” is more than just a casual observation. It’s a cultural touchstone, a poetic expression of love, and a reminder of the power of shared experiences. In its simplicity, it captures the essence of human connection and reminds us that sometimes, the most profound emotions are best expressed through shared silence and a shared gaze at the beauty of the night sky.

This is the story of a cook – a quiet, diligent cook who kept to herself. Her speciality was homemade ice cream topped with fresh peaches, which she served on hot summer days. She worked for some of the wealthiest families in New York, who spoke highly of her skills.
In August 1906, when six members of one household nearly died, the cook mysteriously disappeared – and the hunt for Typhoid Mary began. The resulting story became a tabloid scandal. But the true story of Mary Mallon is far greater than the sensationalized and fear-mongering stories. It’s also a lesser known story of human and civil rights violations. How did this private and obscure domestic cook become one of the most notorious women in American history? What happens to a person whose name and reputation are forever damaged? And who is responsible for the lasting legacy of the woman who became known as Typhoid Mary?
Look what Terrible Typhoid Mary has done!
A Junior Library Guild selection
Starred review: School Library Journal: “Energetic, even charming prose will easily engage readers….Middle grade biography lovers will gravitate toward this compelling title.”
Starred review: Booklist:a “Little is known about Mary Mallon, better known as Typhoid Mary, apart what can be garnered from case studies and wildly sensationalized newspaper articles, but Bartoletti impressively fills in the gaps with illuminating historical context and live descriptions of events…Expertly weaving together both historical background and contemporary knowledge about disease and public health …[a]completely captivating volume.”
Starred review: Horn Book: :”Bartoletti focuses more on Mary, using her as a lens through which to view – and analyze – a wider swath of American society. What was it like to be a servant, an immigrant, a woman at the dawn of the twentieth century? Bartoletti skillfully weaves the answers….[T]he book contains the hallmarks of excellent nonfiction…”
Publishers Weekly: “Thoroughly researched biography … this study of Mallon’s ill-fated life is as much an examination of the period in which she lived, including the public’s ignorance about the spread and treatment of disease, the extreme measures health officials took to advance science, and how yellow journalism’s sensationalized stories could ruin someone’s reputation.”

iPhone users may soon be able to unlock their phones by taking a selfie. Apple was granted the patent for using face recognition software yesterday, which will eliminate the “time consuming” process of swiping the screen and entering a passcode to unlock a device.
The new technology means users can gain access to their phone by moving it into a ‘use position’ and taking a quick snap of their face. The inbuilt camera matches the image with that of the registered user.
If the device doesn’t recognise the person it would automatically lock itself, however Apple said the technology could be used to identify other authorised users, such as friends or family members.
The phone will continue to periodically take pictures of the user while in use, guarding against unauthorised intruders using the device. It may also take a snap when the device has been motionless for a period of time.
However, this kind of facial recognition software has been used before. Android devices already have an unlocking feature called Smart Lock, where the phone unlocks by recognising its user’s image. Facebook also uses the technology for its photo tagging service.
Last month, Jack Ma, founder and executive chairman of Alibaba Group, the Chinese e-commerce giant, introduced Smile to Pay, where users can make mobile payments for goods using facial recognition software to prove their identity.
Apple has previously bought patents for software it hasn’t used, including one for a curved edge display.

Gigi and Bella Hadid Are Taking Over the #NYFW Runways
Gigi Hadid sure is making a splash at New York Fashion Week. In the case of Tommy Hilfiger's Caribbean-inspired spring/summer 2016 show (which was inspired by Mustique Island's famous Basil's Bar), we mean that in the most literal way possible—she led a gaggle of models into an ocean-designed pool for the finale.
With beau Joe Jonas looking on from the front row, the blonde beauty walked twice in the show—once in a colorful patchwork monokini and then again in a crochet-and-striped patchwork maxi dress.
Bella Hadid joined her older sister on the runway in a striped net tank layered over a crochet bikini top and styled with a pair of suede track pants.
But that wasn't the last we saw of the Hadid sisters, designer Jeremy Scott recruited them to bookend his spring show just two hours after Tommy. Gigi opened the wacky-retro presentation, titled "Remote Control," in orange-and-blush separates, complete with a platinum blonde bombshell of a wig. She smoldered for a second time in a metallic silver bustier and polka-dot, pleated skirt.
Meanwhile, Bella stunned in a polka-dot shirt and capris printed with a TV motif. She later closed the show in a green pleated mini, fishnets, and boots.

Many documentaries seek to enrich the lives of an audience through an exploration of a time, an area, or even an individual. These are the expectations set up by traditional documentaries seen the world over and these are the expectations that documentarian Jennifer Peedom (Miracle on Everest) breaks in Mountain (2017), a film that’s more a meditation on man’s relationship with nature’s grandest and cruelest stoic sentinels than an exploration of any specific mountain or climber. Rather, Peedom combines untitled imagery of mountains across the world with music from the Australian Chamber Orchestra and narration from Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project) that samples British mountaineer Robert Macfarlane’s memoir 'Mountains of the Mind.' This shift in approach will shock audiences, yet, if they can accept that Mountain is singular in purpose and vision, then they will find themselves in a literal jaw-dropping experience.
Peedom makes some wonderful choices throughout Mountain (2017) that make it a cinematic experience that’s awesome in the truest sense of the phrase. Mixing visual elements of nature and man’s attempts to conquer it with the beautiful orchestral accompaniment and narration that is a step shy of being absolutely sensuous, Peedom manages to make the grandeur and danger of mountaineering sexy as hell. Moving from one peak to another, the images tell the story of man’s smallness in their shadow as well as man’s desire for greatness. It’s a conflict of notions made incredibly human, even in one of the many brief montages Peedom presents of climbers struggling against nature’s indomitable forces. Humanity, though strongly represented In Mountain, isn’t explored in a specific nature. Other than images from newsreels and the footage we observe, not a single name is provided nor background offered. In fact, other than one climber stating, “this is not ideal,” no other voice beyond Dafoe’s is heard. The climbers are presented, instead, as they are in relation to the mountains they seek to climb either as tiny specks against the largesse of the formations, barely noticeable if not for the zooming in of a drone or helicopter as it sweeps by, or as larger-than-life figures working out how to maneuver the ice, wind, or dirt crevasses that impend, while also forming, their path. One of the more thoughtful moments comes late in the documentary when the focus shifts to a brief narration examining time in relation to nature. Here, using time-lapse, snow forms, melts, and forms anew. Trees grow heavy, lighten, and bend once more under the weight. As the orchestra plays a light tune, the audience becomes privy to the breath of Earth – inhaling and exhaling via the rhythm of nature’s constant renewal. It’s quite literally breathtaking to behold. Much like the insane stunts used to highlight man’s attempts to subjugate nature – bicycling off cliffs, hanging from ice by boots, free-climbing up rock faces, or, for the truly deranged, skydiving via wingsuit – which will leave your jaw firmly upon the floor, the return to the cadence of nature allows Peedom to bring the audience back to the prime focus of Mountain – nature’s permanence through time.
Not everything is flip-kicks and beautiful vistas in Mountain (2017), as there’s very little for the audience to grasp onto in almost every sense. There is no individual to follow as they climb because the film shows us multiple groups in various stages of mountaineering throughout the centuries. There is not a singular mountain that’s explored as footage is clearly from different mountain ranges in different hemispheres during different times of year. Those people we do see, we never learn their names. As mentioned before, outside of a rebel yell, only one line of dialogue is uttered by anyone other than Dafoe, and it’s timed to provide additional emotionality to the visuals and music on display. Similarly, none of the mountains – save for Everest – is mentioned by name. The audience has no way of knowing which mountain is being discussed or climbed at any given moment. This lack of direction may instill within the audience a kind of narrative vertigo without any kind of foothold to steady them. If, however, the prolonged sonata that introduces the orchestra, narrator, and film charms the audience with its wonder, then all of this is largely forgotten.
So, if you’re looking for a specific tale of human triumph or the history of a particular mountainside, Mountain (2017) will leave you wanting. However, if you’re searching for something different, something that explores the emotionality of mountaineering, something which keeps its focus on nature’s alluring call to humankind, then Jennifer Peedom’s Mountain is going to captivate you from beginning to end. From the beautiful music provided by the Australian Chamber Orchestra to Dafoe’s dulcet narration to the exquisite videography, Mountain is an experience for the senses and one that shouldn’t be missed in the grandest theater possible.
What documentaries take your breath away? What parts of the world do you think still need exploring? Are there any upcoming releases you’re looking forward to seeing in 2018? Please share in the comments below.
Final Score: 8 out of 10.
Mountain • Run time 1:14 • Rated PG - for perilous sports action, some injury images and brief smoking

Guest article by Alayna Pehrson – Digital Marketing Strategist at Best Company
Identity theft is destructive, especially to a person’s credit score. According to identitytheft.info, approximately 15 million people in the United States experience identity theft each year. The number affected by identity theft crime is on the rise as new technology gets introduced. Hackers continue to find prime targets like those who fail to monitor their credit, use their credit for unsecured purchases, lose track of their social security number, physically lose their credit cards, or fall for phishing scams. Overall, there are multiple ways that identity theft criminals can get their hands on your credit information and your identity. Here’s how your credit can be affected when your information falls into the wrong hands:
High Credit Utilization
When identity thieves obtains your credit information, they will most likely affect your credit utilization rate by maxing out your credit limit. A high credit utilization rate not only significantly hurts your credit score, but also shows lenders that you are a financial risk. Identity theft criminals can ruin your responsible reputation and limit your future credit opportunities.
Identity theft criminals can open multiple lines of credit under your name. Although credit issuers may see this as a red flag and start rejecting applications for credit accounts, the person using your identity may have done major damage before that happens. Whenever a person applies for a new credit account, a hard inquiry occurs. Hard inquiries can negatively affect your credit score but aren’t usually a problem if you are applying for one new account at a time. However, if an identity theft criminal applies for multiple credit lines, multiple inquiries can lead to major damage to your credit score.
Paying your credit card bills on time is necessary if you want to maintain a good credit score. Although you may make your payments on time, the person who stole your identity most likely will not. Payment history makes up 35 percent of your overall credit score, so having a buildup of late payments can definitely lower your score. When an identity theft criminal abuses your credit card by making extreme purchases, not only does your credit score drop due to missed payments, but you’ll also have higher interest rates, accumulate late fees, and take a hit on your credit report.
According to ValuePenguin, the average American household debt is approximately $5,700 and 38.1 percent of households are in some sort of credit card debt. When it comes to identity theft, the average debt can be much more. For instance, identity theft criminals may try to take out loans or go into credit card debt using your name. Debt can harm your credit score and your chances of getting approved for things like loans or new credit cards as it shows a lack of responsibility.
What You Can Do
Although it may seem like identity theft is inescapable, there are some precautionary measures you can take to lessen your risk of becoming an identity theft victim. Some measures you can take include the following:
- make sure you secure important documents at home
- shred documents that have sensitive information on them before throwing them away
- frequently review your credit report
- check your bank statements
- be cautious about sharing personal information with others
- create strong passwords for online accounts
- install the latest anti-virus software on your computer
If your identity has been stolen and you are worried about how it might affect your credit score, first, report the theft to the police. Then, contact your financial institution and let them know your identity has been stolen. Next, change your passwords for your online accounts, obtain a copy of your credit report, and report the theft to the Federal Trade Commission’s Identitytheft.gov website. This site will help you develop a recovery plan. Consider hiring an identity theft protection service that will monitor your credit, alert you if there is fraudulent activity, and help you recover if your identity is stolen.

All of my cats have been rescues of sorts, though not all have come from the shelter. Some have been kittens from families who carelessly left their cat unspayed. Others have been hand-me-downs from older relatives who could no longer care for them. I’ve loved them all. According to the Humane Society of the United States, one cat or dog is put down every eight seconds. This equates to four million unwanted pets euthanized at U.S. shelters each year. Many could have become loving animal companions—if only given the chance. The next time you’re ready to bring a new cat into your life, consider these reasons to adopt a shelter cat.
Black, white, tabby or ginger… shelters have them all. Whatever coloration, personality, or age you desire, you can find a cat that fits the bill at your local shelter. If you don’t have a preference, it is always fun to go in for a visit and see which cat chooses you.
Shelter cats are like plug-and-play electronics. When you adopt a shelter kitty, you get an animal companion that is already spayed or neutered, has been immunized, is litter box trained, and may even be micro chipped. Shelter staff can advise you on potential behavior issues as well, so you know exactly what you are getting into.
Adult shelter cats are low maintenance. Becoming a kitty parent really doesn’t get any easier than adopting an adult shelter cat. Unlike mischievous kittens, adult cats won’t wreak havoc throughout your house. If you’re away from home a lot, adopt an adult pair. Many are surrendered together or become close friends during their shelter stay.

DENVER — Officials have revealed details of plans to revitalize a 40-mile urban stretch of the South Platte River with plenty of water and healthy fish.
Denver Water and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said they’ve obtained 2,100 acre-feet of water that they will use strictly for environmental purposes. They plan to release the water at the Chatfield Reservoir choke point — a supply equal to what 4,200 households typically use in a year.
The goal according to The Denver Post (http://tinyurl.com/jv2er68 ) is to restore the river to a condition in which trout can reproduce.
“We’re trying to make the South Platte the best it can be for this city. . It’s not going to be like a Danube,” Denver Water manager Jim Lochhead said. “We can make it what it is, which is a Plains river that creates an appreciation of the connection to water in this city. The city would not exist without that water supply.”
The idea is that putting more water into the Platte at the southwestern edge of metro Denver will mimic long-lost natural flows, to the extent possible given the channelization of the Platte after the 1965 flood that destroyed buildings in the flood plain. More water also would help a fish hatchery where state wildlife workers breed rainbow trout.
For more than two decades, Denver conservationists have worked at reviving the Platte corridor, building cycling paths and riverside parks.
But just beyond Denver, farmers await every drop of the treated wastewater metro users put back in the Platte. There’s so much demand for South Platte water across booming northeastern Colorado that parts of the river run dry.
By 2018, project leaders say, new environmental flows from Chatfield will keep that from happening — and create curves and pools favoring aquatic bugs and fish.
This push to put more clean water in the Platte through Denver coincides with broader environmental efforts. Federal, state and city engineers have been mulling possibilities for restoring other metro waterways, for which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has dangled possible funding.
“Once we get things in place and start this on the South Platte, there will be people who will make a play for anything that will make the river look and act better,” said Colorado Parks and Wildlife senior aquatic biologist Ken Kehmeier.

Introduction: How to Make a Leather Bushcraft Hat
I had made a fantastic video tutorial on creating a bushcraft hat, but after being online for the last 6 years YouTube decided to remove it without telling me. So now, unfortunately I don't have another copy of the vid but I did have some images I used in making the vid. This presented a fantastic opportunity to do something I've wanted for a long time and create a more comprehensive and detailed instructable.
My foray into hat making came about because initially, when I started into leather, there were no resources online that offered plans on how to make these hats, and any I found at my local leather shop where overly expensive and didn't fit the style I wanted. So I grabbed my favorite Tilly hat, took some measurements and designed this hat based partly on it, and partly on what I wanted in a bush hat. It's my hope that this design, like all of the instructables I create, gets passed around as much as possible. It was pretty frustrating, when I first started out, to find there were so few resources for beginners, in any medium, and that plans and templates were so unattainable. This design, like many of my plans, can be modified simply by adjusting a few measurements to become anything from a fedora, to a top hat, to a cowboy hat. It was made to be fluid, so that there is no set number of holes to be punched, or stitches to be sewn, thereby keeping the fundamental design in tact, but allowing room for creative alteration.
Step 1: Tools and Equipment
- Sharp leather knife, x-acto knife, etc
- Wheel cutter
- Rake hole punch
- Sewing Awl
- Leather edger or 220Grit Sandpaper
- Rubber Gloves
- Wool for leather dye
- Spray bottle with water
- 2-3oz leather 26x15" minimum
- Patch of tanned deer hide 8x8" minimum
- Fiebings leather dye
- Large sheet of paper
- Leather polish (see my other instructable on how to make your own)
- Leather Glue
Step 2: Creating Your Template and Cutting Out Your Leather
This pattern can be used to make a hat that's anywhere from 7 1/8US (medium) to 7 5/8US (XL) depending on how you set it up, which I'll go into later.
Making your template is pretty easy. There are only four parts to your hat; the brim, two side bands and the crown. The crown can be made from the cut out center of the brim, thereby saving you leather. As youcan see by the template, the tapered section of the crown is actually slightly rounded. This sets the overall look of the hat by tapering it at the front. If you wanted to make a pilgrim style hat, or top hat, you'd simply leave the crown round. Likewise, on a cowboy hat, you would taper it even more across the front and the back. You'll notice the brim is slightly longer than it is wide. That's because the human head is longer than it is wide so making it perfectly round would make for a pretty uncomfortable hat. In the bushcraft hat style, the hat tapers up to the crown. Again, you can change this feature as you see fit for a straighter, taller hat, or for one that has a more pronounced angle. It's really up to you.
Once you've created your template, transfer it to your leather and cut out your pieces. You don't need to be to tidy since we're going to work a bit more on the edges next.
Step 3: Prepping Your Edges
Now's the time to fix those little slips with the x-acto knife. If you have a leather edging tool, then this process is pretty easy, however if you don't you can simply use a bit of 220 grit sandpaper. Using such a low grit sandpaper will take longer to smooth the edges, but it'll go a long way in keeping down inevitable burrs that can happen on the suede side of the leather. If your suede side does burr, you can clean them up with your knife.
Skiving the Edge;
If you ended up using higher weight leather, like I did with my first hat, you're going to need to skive the edges where the leather joins together, tho you can leave the brim as is since it won't take any of the forming. It's not a bad idea to thin your 2-3oz leather as well, as it'll help a lot in the forming process. Just be sure to skive the suede side of the leather only.
Step 4: Punching Your Holes
The biggest piece of advice I give, always count your holes. I can't stress this enough since one hole difference, between the brim and side bands can make your hat look crooked and ruin its symmetry. The holes on the inside of the brim should equal the holes along the bottom of both side bands, the holes along the top of the side bands should equal the number of holes around the crown etc.
You can punch a series of holes around the outer edge of the brim for a reinforcement band. It's not necessary, since we're working with solid veg tan leather, and, honestly I find it looks nicer with just a smooth stitch around the outside edge of the brim. For the reinforcement band, you just need to cut an extra piece of deer hide, which I'll get more into later.
Another good addition are breather holes in the side bands of the hat. I'd recommend two holes per side, evenly spaced and filled with lacing grommets for decoration. Again, it's not essential, but it can go a long way to keeping your head from overheating when wearing your hat.
Step 5: Sewing Your Side Bands to Your Crown
For starters, we're going to stitch the brim together inside out, with the suede on the outside. When you stitch the ends of your side band together, you should have the edge of one side overlap the other, with the inverse on the other side. You'll notice that the bottom of the new side band is somewhat concave. This will help form the overall shape of the hat since the seams will be on the front and back of the hat, rather than the sides.
Next sew on the crown of your hat, again with the suede side out. Only stitch one half at a time, starting from the front and ending at the back. This will prevent it from torquing due to over snug stitches and help it keep its symmetry better.
Step 6: Attaching the Top to the Brim
First you're going to need to turn the top right side out. For that, you're going to need to soak it. Now we won't be wet forming it just yet, but the entire top has to be soaked really well, almost to the point of dripping wet. The reason we wet the top is to prevent wrinkling along the sides where the leather will be flexing. If you don't soak well, the grain will stretch and create creases in the leather that can't be smoothed out, even with burnishing (rubbing with a wooden doorknob shaped tool).
Once you have the top with the grain side out, you can attach it to the brim. There are a couple of ways you can do this, and they are entirely up to you;
- Brim overlaps side bands. - makes for a larger hat, however creates a place for water to get between when it rains. Can be fixed with wax waterproofing or by gluing before stitching which also reinforces the seam.
- Side bands over Brim - Makes for a smaller hat, however prevents water from getting between the top and the brim. This is the most practical way of doing it.
Again, like you did when attaching the crown, when you attach the top to the brim, do one half at a time, starting at the front and ending at the back.
Step 7: Shaping Your Hat
This is where the wet forming comes in to play. First, we need to soak the hat to make it pliant. A really good resource would be to have a pre-form in the shape of a head, that you could set it on, but it isn't necessary. When leather becomes wet, it becomes more pliant, and as it dries, it begins to take the shape molded into it. Keep working on the shape, either using your hands or a burnisher, (any smooth round object will do), using your own head as a template, until you get the shape you want.
Step 8: Dying Your Hat
There's a lot of techniques when it comes to dying evenly, but mostly it amounts to;
- how clean your leather is
- how oil free your leather is
- how 'humid' your leather is
- and what you use to apply it with.
For me, I like to prep my leather by cleaning it with a preparation of distilled water and 10% alcohol, which seems to work very well. Next, I like to give a nice, light spray of distilled water with a spray bottle, because as the person who taught me used to say, "dry leather is thirsty leather". Then I like to apply with balls of raw wool, or the smaller wool on a stick that comes with the Fiebings bottles for smaller jobs.
**Important**: Don't dye the inside of the hat. It will leach to your skin and make you look very foolish in the process.
Here's an interesting technique;
If you want to give your hat a worn look around the band, just let it dry completely, then give it a light spray all over. Then, along the bottom half where the sides meet the brim, give it a heavier spray wetting it. The spots that are wet will take less of the dye and look faded compared to the rest of the hat, making it look worn. Next take a slightly damp, soft cloth and start rubbing down the entire brim. This will lighten it overall, and make the shade difference between the two areas more noticeable.
Step 9: Cutting Your Deer Hide Pieces
The Hat Band;
Take your wheel cutter, and make your patch of leather round. Next, start cutting around it, roughly 1/2" wide and keep cutting until you reach the center and can't cut any more. You should end up with a long leather lace. Next, cut it into three pieces. Start one end by punching a hole through all three strips then running a small lace of leather through it and tie it off. Attach the finished end to a table or chair, then start braiding your three strips, continually measuring its length against the diameter of your hat. It's important you keep the strands flat as you braid as any wrinkles in the leather will show in the finished band. Once you get it to length, you can punch a hole in all three strands and again, run a small lace through them to keep them together. Next, put the band around your hat, and tie the small laces together, fitting it snuggly. You should end up with a nice finished end.
Cut another piece of deer hide, roughly 1 1/4" wide that's the inside diameter of your hat. I neglected to mention that you can stitch this sweat band in when you attach to top to the brim of your hat, however it's not necessary. Some good quality leather glue should bond it in place nicely.
Step 10: Polish and Waterproof
The point of a hat is to keep the sun off of your heat and the rain out of your face and an unprotected hat won't do either very well. I highly recommend using a beeswax based polish that will fill any of the stitch holes and help waterproof your seams. Here's an instructable I made on making your own polish.
A little trick with leather polish;
If you apply your polish while your leather is still wet, your finished product will be softer and more flexible, however if you apply your polish to dry leather, it'll stay firmer and less flexible. I really couldn't tell you the science behind it, but suffice it to say it's a matter of choice. A flexible hat can become floppy over time but is more comfortable to wear, while a firmer hat will keep it's shape longer, but require more break-in time. It's your choice in the end.
Step 11: Finished
That's it. Creating a hat can seem like a big job, but it's really one of the easiest leather projects you can undertake. The best part is the flexibility and creativity that goes into designing them, and as far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as a bad hat.
Like always, thanks for following my instructable and I hope you enjoyed it.

could you please post a drawing of the different crown angles for creating the fedora? or email to me? many many thanks
Question 3 years ago on Step 2
Sorry I am new to this, I don't understand why your brim measures 8 1/2 and 7 1/2 but your side bands are 11 and 13
8 years ago on Introduction
Very nice 'ible! You made it so easy to follow, that I think even I could do a reasonable job of one! I do have a question, however. When you were talking about the patterns, you said the hat could be sized to any head from 71/8 to 7 5/8,and that you would discuss this later. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see that in the 'ible. If I missed it, please tell me where it is. If it isn't in the 'ible, could you please tell me how to size the hat? This isn't a criticism, but just a question. I definitely will use your 'ible to make my hat.
Reply 8 years ago on Introduction
No it's a perfectly valid question. The variation from 7 1/8 to 7 5/8 is very small and can be adjusted two ways. The first I cover in section 6 where I talk about brim over side bands or side bands over brim. Sidebands over brim will make the opening larger while the other way will narrow it some. Second is by using a sweat band. The thicker material you use, the smaller you make your hat, especially if you use a padded band. Hope this helps.
Reply 3 years ago
Antagonizer, this reply of yours says "sidebands over brim will make the opening larger"
The instructable says "Brim overlaps sidebands - makes for a larger hat"
Can you explain which is true?

I love this so much! Hopefully I'll get a chance to try my hand pretty soon... If I follow through I'll follow up with a picture. Thanks so much for sharing!

I tried to use two different glues (both made for leather) but neither held very well :( mainly because the finished and smooth side would not let the glue grab. I would suggest sewing it in or getting leather that has has both sides suede like so the glue can stick better.
Reply 4 years ago
Sand the finished side if you want your glue to adhere properly. It needs a rough surface to stick. You should also stick with leather glue and avoid things like contact cement or epoxy. They harden and crack over time. Proper glue, and surface prep goes a long way.

Great project, used some scrap left over from bags I was making for my daughters. Added a wire at the brim to stiffen it up, I used oil tanned leather instead of the veg tan because I had it on hand.
Reply 4 years ago
Lovely! Can I ask where you got the wire, and what gauge? How did you put the wire on? Was it with an extra piece of leather just sewn on? Thank you!

Awesome job. I love the finished look. Don't forget to waterproof, especially the seams.

Two quick questions- For sewing wire into brim, would you fold over the edge, or wrap entire edge in lighter gauge leather?
B) For the side pieces, wont there be a disparity in amount of leather when attaching a larger circle to a (slightly triangular) smaller circle. Are you making sides conical or doing all shaping post construction via wet molding? Thanks!!

Hi, I know this reply is late but hopefully it will help someone. Sewing wire into the brim can be done both the ways you mentioned, but if you are using really thick leather for the brim I would suggest wrapping the entire edge in lighter "gauge leather like you said. As to your second question maybe this link will help you out.

I have a question about the two side pieces, on your CAD drawing on each - one side is 13" long and the other is 11" long, both 4 1/2" wide, I have the hat cut out like the CAD drawing, ready to put it together. My question is if this is the correct way to cut out the sides, Which side (after you sew the sides together) is for the brim, and which side is for the crown. Is it the smaller side for the crown, and the larger side for the brim? Or should I just cut out (2) 13" x 4 1/2" pieces that are 13" on both sides, and go from there? Making this for the hubby, And Thank you for putting this out there for us all to try.

Sorry I took so long to respond. The narrow edge is for the crown as it tapers upwards. If you were to make them even, you'd end up with more of a tophat design.

I just finished making this and found that the brim keeps coming out wavy instead of having just the normal dips in front and back. Any tips on how to resolve this?

Columbus Business First provides valuable business, leadership and industry information. Central Ohioans and those seeking to learn more can use the news to make important business decisions, understand industry front runners and learn more about Central Ohio executives and rising leaders. The paper, owned by American City Business Journals (ACBJ), offers an insightful weekly publication and a variety of other resources including The Book of Lists, Forty Under 40 awards, daily and breaking news emails and other business awards.
Research Director Robin Smith creates, edits and manages the paper’s many lists which are featured in weekly publications and collected annually to form The Book of Lists. Robin leverages the company’s proprietary database, commercial databases, public records and online surveys to gather and analyze data for the lists. Topics for the list are decided by Robin, the editorial staff and ACBJ. In 2016, The Book of Lists contained 72 lists, but the number varies from year to year, depending on the market and relevant topics. June’s featured list explores Ohio’s Craft Brewers.
Robin shared her process for creating the lists. She sends surveys to businesses in the category of the list she is building six weeks in advance of the list’s publication date, and she follows up several times to ensure that the companies can participate. Information is self reported by the companies and verified through research and comparison from previous years. Lists are based on quantitative data and vary depending on the industry. Often, Robin works with the editorial staff when creating a list and stories related to the list subject are run in the same issue.
The job requires understanding and processing large amounts of data. Robin noted the largest list she complied examined 850 companies! As a member of an investigative reporting organization, she has learned new tips and tricks to help manage these kinds of data-intensive projects.
Robin began her career in graphic design and worked with Business First as an ad designer for six years. Later, she performed freelance research services and co-authored Ohio Then & Now: Contemporary Rephotography. Her research and time in libraries and archives sparked her interest, which led her to complete her master’s degree in library science.
Robin enjoys that her work provides difficult to attain information, demonstrating a valuable skill for many businesses and individuals. In addition to her research, she leads classes for Columbus Business First subscribers on how to harness the power of The Book of Lists. Interaction with users gives her the opportunity to learn first-hand the value of her work. One small business owner featured in the minority-owned business list shared her company’s clients significantly increased after being featured. Now that’s making a positive difference!
Companies and individuals use Columbus Business First’s information for sales, recruiting, purchasing decisions and many other research purposes. The work of Robin Smith and Columbus Business First is crucial for many in our community.

I am still iffy about this piece, especially after watching Masterforce. What I mean that while the figure is series accurate, the series not my favorite of the five shown on Japanese television. (Six, if you include Car Robots, which became an official Generation 1 series in 2007.)
However, I am also iffy about the possibility of adding Stepper from the TFC line. Because even though Ginrai is not really a Transformer, he looks like he would be a nice display piece. However, he is too pricey and I'd prefer seeking Stepper... Even though I do not have the time nor funds to back track for him.
So for the Masterforce fans and collectors of Supreme Commanders... Get him. The rest, up to you as I have to pass.

Kopi LuwakKopi luwak, also known as civet coffee, is a unique type of coffee made from coffee cherries that have been partially digested by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The cherries undergo fermentation as they pass through the civet's intestines. After being excreted along with other fecal matter, they are then collected. The Asian palm civets are increasingly captured in the wild and traded for this purpose.
The production of kopi luwak is primarily centered on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sulawesi, and in East Timor. It is also gathered from the wild or cultivated on farms in the Philippines, where it is referred to as kape motit in the Cordillera region, kapé alamíd in Tagalog areas, kapé melô or kapé musang in Mindanao, and kahawa kubing in the Sulu Archipelago. The term 'Weasel coffee' is an informal English translation of its Vietnamese name, cà phê Chồn.
Producers of these coffee beans argue that the unique process may enhance the coffee through two mechanisms: selection, wherein civets choose to consume only specific cherries, and digestion, where biological or chemical processes in the animals' digestive tracts alter the composition of the coffee cherries.
猫屎咖啡主要在印尼的苏门答腊、爪哇、巴厘岛、苏拉威西岛以及东帝汶生产。它还在菲律宾的森林中采集或在农场生产，被称为卡佩莫蒂特（Cordillera地区）、卡佩阿拉米德（塔加洛语区域）、卡佩梅洛（或卡佩穆桑）（棉兰老岛）以及卡哈瓦库宾（苏鲁群岛）。"鼬咖啡"是它的越南名称cà phê Chồn的非正式英文翻译。

Merino wool - all first lite and then if i feel cold i'll throw on a wooltimate henly with windblocker in it. I usually do not pull out the wooltimate pants until nov or if it is really cold and i'll be sitting or in a tree stand. Yes wooltimate is heavy but wow is it warm.
I have used a Windblock fleece vest for the last several years in similar temps up here in AK (mine is made by marmot, but almost every company makes some version). I have found I don't usually need a long sleeved mid layer, as the vest keeps my core toasty while still maintaining the ability to zip up or down if I am too hot or too cold. When I actually stop to rest or glass I almost always put on my "puffy jacket" aka insulation layer anyway, so I haven't really missed the sleeves. Really cuts the breeze when I am hiking, and when I slow down it adds another layer of warmth inside my insulation layer (Integral Designs Rundle jacket). I recently acquired a Sitka Kelvin vest, so I may give that a spin this season.
arcteryx Atom LT pullover for my puffy insulating layer. I also use some thicker merino, this year im also going to try some thicker merino from kuiu instead of my black justin charles stuff. That acrteryx puffy jacket is warm though! packs down tiny, and only weighs 10 ounces.

July 23, 2001 -- Thousands of people seeking relief from 100-plus temperatures in Saudi Arabia got an unexpected surprise today during a visit to a national park in the mountains.
They got snow — several inches of it. There was enough to trap thousands of park-goers.
Civil defense teams were called in after 75 people were injured in the ensuing panic. Several hundred were rescued by helicopters and mountain jeeps.
Ski Saudi Arabia!
Saudi Arabia's prevailing climate is hot and dry, but frost and freezing temperatures have been reported in winter.
Rainfall is considered very sparse with an average annual precipitation of just 4 inches.
However, there are mountains in the country's southwest, near its border with Yemen. Saudi entrepeneurs, undaunted by the lack of snow in the kingdom, have even been attempting to build ski resorts there with the help of snow-making machines.


In 2000, United Nations member countries agreed to ambitious development targets that they hoped to reach by 2015. These are the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Among them was to reduce the number of people suffering from undernourishment—enough to cut the global hunger rate in half.
Now 2015 is here, and it turns out the world is actually doing a pretty good job on that measure. The UN has released its annual report on hunger, which it defines as chronic undernourishment—the inability to acquire enough food for at least one year. Here’s what it found.
The total number of undernourished people has fallen by more than 200 million since 1990.
As a percentage of its total population, the developing world has cut undernourishment from 23.3% in 1990 to 12.9% today. It fell from 18.6% to 10.9% for the world population, just missing the mark of halving hunger.
The most significant improvements over the past 25 years have been made in Asia, where the rate of undernourishment has fallen more than 11 percentage points since 1990.
There were big improvements in East and Southeast Asia, while hunger has increased in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa…
…and indeed, the world’s most badly undernourished countries are primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.
Still, since 1990 31 more countries have met the UN goal of cutting hunger in half or bringing it under 5% of their populations.
With nearly 800 million people still going hungry, there is a ways to go. But the data are reassuring.
“The near-achievement of the MDG hunger targets shows us that we can indeed eliminate the scourge of hunger in our lifetime,” said José Graziano da Silva, director general of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, in a press release announcing the report.

Tips for building your first compost pile.
Make layers of equal parts of brown and green material (straw or dead weeds are brown, grass clippings are green). Be sure to add a shovel of garden soil every once in a while. Chop garden debris into smaller pieces before you put them in. The more surfaces the beneficial bacteria have to chew on, the faster the material decays.
