At first, Hofmann faced her mortality alone, shamed by a disease society considered the exclusive property of gay men, injection drug users and sex workers. Burdened by her secret, she withdrew from the world she once knew. Over time, though, Hofmann began to accept her mortality -- and HIV -- and reconsidered the way she wanted to live her life. After nearly a decade of silence, Hofmann did what she never imagined having the courage to do: she came out to the world about what she was going through.
Regan Hofmann not only has the courage to fight HIV and the debilitating stigma that surrounds it, but she writes about her experience with unflinching honesty and a deep affection for the family and friends who support her. I Have Something to Tell You is a memoir of disease and survival, and an inspiring account of a life driven by a sense of purpose and a search for love in the face of the unthinkable. More than anything, it is a story that reminds us that while life can change in an instant, we each hold the power to decide how we use the time we have. With humor, vitality and an unquenchable passion, Regan shows us a life fully lived.
The world of HIV/AIDS diagnosis and therapy is changing dramatically. At-home testing is now available, people exposed to the virus may be able to get immediate treatment, and the number of dominant classes of HIV treatment has increased from four to six. This new edition of A Woman’s Guide to Living with HIV Infection includes the latest information on diagnosis and treatments as well as recent findings about pregnancy and HIV, starting treatments when you have HIV-related complications, liver health and hepatitis, and sexual health.
Two patients—each known in medical history as the Berlin Patient—were cured of the HIV virus. The two patients’ disparate cures came twelve years apart, but Nathalia Holt, an award-winning scientist at the forefront of HIV research, connects the molecular dots of these cases for the first time.
Scientists are known to maintain a professional distance from those they study, but sometimes scientists are not just investigators, they are caregivers, too. Cured illustrates that even in the era of high-tech and big pharma, the way doctors and patients communicate remains a critical ingredient in the advance of this science. Holt offers a kind of hope that the thirty-four million people currently infected with HIV need and a story of ingenuity, dedication, and humanity that will inspire the rest of us.
The incidence and prognosis for the disease among special populations, as well as their needs and struggles, are covered in detail. These groups include: drug and alcohol abusers, the gay and lesbian community, minority communities, pediatric patients, prisoners, senior citizens, and women. With education the key to both prevention and care of those infected, this volume is an invaluable resource for students and general readers.
Heinrich Kremer, MD, Medical Director Emeritus was, from 1968-1975, head of social therapy for addicts, sexual offenders and people with personality disorders at the Berlin Tegel prison which was the pilot project for the reform of the German penal system. In 1988 he resigned as medical director of a model clinic specializing in youth drug addiction due to differences on medical ethics regarding the HIV test and AIDS therapy. From 1993-1999 as collaborating member of the Study Group for Nutrition and Immunity (Bern) he investigated together with Prof. Alfred Hässig the mechanisms occurring in AIDS defining illnesses and in cancer. Since the publication of this book in German in 2001 he has been in demand as a lecturer on the treatment of chronic diseases, working today as senior consultant in a growing medical network for Cell Symbiosis Therapy®.
First, the use of lamivudine (3TC) for the treatment of HIV infections, and its more recent introduction for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, has heralded the transition of D- to L-nucleosides in the antiviral nucleoside drug design, and it is likely that the future will provide more nucleosides of the L-configuration, such as (-)FFC (emtricitabine) and L-FMAU, as will be described by J.-C.G. Graciet and R.F. Shinazi.
Second, the acyclic purine nucleoside phosphonates, i.e. PMEA (adefovir and PMPA (tenofovir), offer great potential as both anti-HIV and anti-HBV agents, and both compounds have been the subject of advanced clinical trials in their oral produrg form (adefovir dipivoxil and tenofovir disoproxyl), as mentioned by M.N. Arimilli, J.P. Dougherty, K.C. Cundy, and N. Bischofberger.
Third, with the advent of nevirapine, delavirdine, and efavirenz, the NNRTIs have definitely come of age. Emivirine (MKC-442), a derivative of the original HEPT analog that was described in 1989 has now proceeded through pivotal clinical studies, and how this class of compounds evolved is presented in the account of H. Tanaka and his colleagues.
Fourth, at the end of 1999, anticipating on the next winter influenza offensive, we should have at end two compounds that specifically inhibit influenza A and B virus infections: zanamivir (by the intranasal route) and oseltamivir (by the oral route). Both compounds have proved effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of influenza A and B virus infections and act through the same mechanism; that is by blocking the viral neuraminidase (or sialidase), a key enzyme that allows the virus to spread from one cell to another (within the respiratory mucosal tract). The design of these sialidase inhibitors will be presented by M. von Itzstein and J.C. Dyason.
Fifth, the discovery (in 1996) of the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 as essential coreceptors (in addition to the CD4 receptor) for HIV entry into the cells, has boosted an enormous interest in potential antagonists of these receptors. The bicyclams represent the first low-molecular-weight compounds targeted at CXCR4, the coreceptor used by the more pathogenic, T-lymphotropic, HIV strains, to enter the cells. They will be addressed by G.J. Bridger and R.T. Skerlj.
The five topics covered in this third volume of Advances in Antiviral Drug Design are in the front line of the present endeavors towards the chemotherapy of virus infections. They pertain to the combat against three of the most important virus infections of current times: HIV, HBV, and influenza virus.
The Pharmacist's Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy and Stewardship puts all the necessary information in one place, including:
Evaluating potentially infected patientsIdentifying the infection's suspected source and related organismsComparing the range of anti-infectivesKnowing the factors that impact treatmentDeveloping an antimicrobial stewardship programA step-wise approach walks logically from overall key concepts to disease- and drug-specific information. Disease states are summarized for easy reference. Tables make it easy to evaluate recommended treatment options.
In infectious disease management, when answers are seldom black and white, this guide helps pharmacists make confident decisions.
What Nurses KnowÖHIV/AIDS provides up-to-date, reliable and practical health information for people living with HIV and their significant others. In easy-to-understand everyday language the authors give information to help individuals with HIV navigate the healthcare system, covering everything from receiving an initial HIV test to becoming an engaged member of their healthcare team, knowledgeable and actively involved in their healthcare decisions. The authors include vignettes based on their real-life experiences that speak to the individual with aids. However, they approach HIV in a holistic manner and write not for the individual with HIV, but also their friends, family, and community.What Nurses Know Series:
Nurses hold a critical role in modern health care that goes beyond their day-to-day duties. They share more information with patients than any other provider group, and are alongside patients twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week offering understanding of complex health issues, holistic approaches to ailments, and advice for the patient that extends to the family. Nurses themselves are a powerful tool in the healing process.
The What Nurses Know series will give down-to-earth information, address consumers as equal partners in their care and explain clearly what a reader needs to know and wants to know to understand their condition and move forward with their lives."
Clinicians will gain a greater understanding of the complex mechanisms of the disease. Beginning with a basic introduction to HIV infections and Neuro-AIDS, practitioners will find useful data on advances in molecular biology, neuroepidemiology, neuroimaging, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, as well as information on the development of therapeutic strategies appropriate for the disorder, including groundbreaking retroviral therapies.
In addition, the socioeconomic and political constraints that hinder treatment and disease management in developing parts of the world are presented.* A comprehensive understanding of HIV/AIDS and neuro-AIDS, and the progression of the scientific community’s understanding of the disease
* Detailed information on fields such as neuroepidemiology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging and their contributions to HIV/AIDS research
* Subject specific chapters on conditions associated with HIV/AIDS, including opportunistic infections, central nervous system tumors, and myopathies, amongst others
Recent literature on effective HIV/AIDS prevention programs underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity and cultural competence in the delivery of services and care. Successful prevention interventions must be tailored for their target populations. Yet many HIV/AIDS prevention professionals struggle to meet the specific needs of their communities.
Tools for Building Culturally Competent HIV Prevention Programs contains a variety of well-informed, evidence-based approaches to HIV prevention programs. It offers all the tools practitioners need to launch an effective prevention program: from identifying program goals and objectives, to developing program models, to recruiting and retaining staff, and finally to conducting evaluations and reporting results. All material is filtered through a cultural perspective and methods are tailored to specific racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
Additional resources are included to assist in the preparation and development of your prevention program, such as:
Federal standards and guidelines for culturally competent health care and social service provisionTrue-life case studies that show how other HIV prevention programs succeededChecklists, worksheets and templates to create, monitor, and manage your program
The CD includes:
Customizable checklists and worksheets that you can use in your programA demonstration of the Virtual Program Evaluation Consultant (VPEC) software program, a program evaluation service offered by Sociometrics Corporation. Purchasers of this book will get a three-month license to VPEC free
Use the companion volume, The Complete HIV/AIDS Teaching Kit (with CD-ROM, in your prevention program to assist you in providing an overview of the incidence, prevalence, prevention, and treatment of HIV/AIDS to all your students, patients, or clients.
Origin and Evolution of Viruses presents a full and clear description of general viral concepts and specific viral systems, and provides an excellent foundation to our understanding of how viruses emerged.
This unique and comprehensive work is essential reading for all researchers in virology, molecular biology and related areas, as well as evolutionary biologists interested in phylogenetic approaches to molecular evolution. The reader is taken on an illumination journey--in time and concepts--from the first primitive replicons to their present-day complex viral counterparts.
Apart from the obvious interest, as humans are potential hosts for these viruses, there is also a great deal of academic interest in the evolutionary aspects of this simple group of organisms, since information can be gained about the origin of stains/species and evolutionary patterns that might be applicable to higher species.
The book addresses:
* Nature and evolution of early replicons
* DNA and RNA viruses in both plants and animals
* Viral origin, mutation, and survival
* Antigenic variation in influenza virus
* Interplay between host evolution and DNA virus evolution
* Emergence of viral-induced diseases, e.g. hepatitis, influenza and HIV
With several attempts to mainstream HIV and AIDS in education both in schools and in tertiary institutions, the book serves both the academic and research community at national and international levels. It does not serve only those studying religion, but all who address issues of HIV and AIDS from whatever field of study.
Aids-Associated Viral Oncogenesis will specifically address viral-induced human cancers. Topics will cover the viral associated cancers observed in the AIDS population, specific treatment required in this special population, and molecular biology of the causative viral agents.
Sizwe and Hermann live at the epicenter of the greatest plague of our times, the African AIDS epidemic. In South Africa alone, nearly 6 million people in a population of 46 million are HIV-positive. Already, Sizwe has watched several neighbors grow ill and die, yet he himself has pushed AIDS to the margins of his life and associates it obliquely with other people's envy, with comeuppance, and with misfortune.
When Hermann Reuter establishes an antiretroviral treatment program in Sizwe's district and Sizwe discovers that close family members have the virus, the antagonism between these two figures from very different worlds -- one afraid that people will turn their backs on medical care, the other fearful of the advent of a world in which respect for traditional ways has been lost and privacy has been obliterated -- mirrors a continent-wide battle against an epidemic that has corrupted souls as much as bodies.
A heartbreaking tale of shame and pride, sex and death, and a continent's battle with its demons, Steinberg's searing account is a tour-de-force of literary journalism.
Drawing on research conducted in the U.S. and Uganda during the mid-2000s, Crane provides a fascinating ethnographic account of the transnational flow of knowledge, politics, and research money—as well as blood samples, viruses, and drugs. She takes readers to underfunded Ugandan HIV clinics as well as to laboratories and conference rooms in wealthy American cities like San Francisco and Seattle where American and Ugandan experts struggle to forge shared knowledge about the AIDS epidemic. The resulting uncomfortable mix of preventable suffering, humanitarian sentiment, and scientific ambition shows how global health research partnerships may paradoxically benefit from the very inequalities they aspire to redress. A work of outstanding interdisciplinary scholarship, Scrambling for Africa will be of interest to audiences in anthropology, science and technology studies, African studies, and the medical humanities.
Seth Kalichman focuses not on the “difficult” or doubting patient, but on organized, widespread forms of denial (including the idea that HIV itself is a myth and HIV treatments are poison) and the junk science, faulty logic, conspiracy theories, and larger forces of homophobia and racism that fuel them. The malignant results of AIDS denial can be seen in those individuals who refuse to be tested, ignore their diagnoses, or reject the treatments that could save their lives. Instead of ignoring these currents, asserts Kalichman, science has a duty to counter them.
Among the topics covered:
Why AIDS denialism endures, and why science must understand it.
Pioneer virus HIV researcher Peter Duesberg’s role in AIDS denialism.
Flawed immunological, virological, and pharmacological pseudoscience studies that are central to texts of denialism.
The social conservative agenda and the politics of AIDS denial, from the courts to the White House.
The impact of HIV misinformation on public health in South Africa.
Fighting fiction with reality: anti-denialism and the scientific community.
For anyone affected by, interested in, or working with researchers in HIV/AIDS, and public health professionals in general, the insight and vision of Denying AIDS will inspire outrage, discussion, and ultimately action.
See http://denyingaids.blogspot.com/ for more information.
During the past twenty years, more than 65 million people across the globe have become infected with HIV. Already 25 million around the world have died -- more than all of the battle deaths in the twentieth century combined. By decade's end there will be an estimated 25 million AIDS orphans. If trends continue, by 2025, 250 million global HIV-AIDS cases are a distinct possibility.
Beyond the ineffable human toll, the pandemic is reshaping the social, economic, and geopolitical dimensions of our world. Eviscerating national economies, creating an entire generation of orphans, and destroying military capacity, the disease is generating pressures that will lead to instability and possibly even state failure and collapse in sub-Saharan Africa. Poised to explode in Eastern Europe, Russia, India, and China, AIDS will have devastating and destabilizing effects of untold proportions that will reverberate throughout the global economy and the international political order.
In this gripping account that draws on more than two hundred interviews with key political insiders, policy makers, and thinkers, Greg Behrman chronicles the red tape, colossal blunders, monumental egos, power plays, and human pain and suffering that comprise America's woeful response to the AIDS crisis. Behrman's unprecedented access takes you inside the halls of power from seminal White House meetings to tumultuous turf battles at World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva, heated debates in the United Nations, and chilling discoveries at the Centers for Disease Control. Behrman also brings us into the field to meet the people who live in the midst of AIDS devastation in places like a school yard in Namibia, the red-light district in Bombay, and an orphanage in South Africa.
Intensely researched and vividly detailed, The Invisible People is a groundbreaking and compellingly readable account of the appalling destruction caused by more than two decades of American abdication in the face of the defining humanitarian catastrophe of our time.
In Ancestors and Antiretrovirals, Claire Laurier Decoteau backs up Tutu’s assertion with powerful arguments about how this came to pass. Decoteau traces the historical shifts in health policy after apartheid and describes their effects, detailing, in particular, the changing relationship between biomedical and indigenous health care, both at the national and the local level. Decoteau tells this story from the perspective of those living with and dying from AIDS in Johannesburg’s squatter camps. At the same time, she exposes the complex and often contradictory ways that the South African government has failed to balance the demands of neoliberal capital with the considerable health needs of its population.
Hoffman became central to Riegle’s caregiving when he asked her to be his health-care proxy, and although she willingly chose to do this, she explores her conflicting feelings about herself in this role and about her involvement with Riegle and his grueling struggle with hospitalization, illness, and, finally, death. She tells of the waves of grief that echoed throughout her life, awakening memories of other losses, entering her dreams and fantasies, and altering her relationships with friends, family, and even total strangers.
Hoffman’s memoir gives voice to the psychological and emotional havoc AIDS creates for those in the difficult role of caring for the terminally ill and it gives recognition to the role that lesbians continue to play in the AIDS emergency. A foreword by Urvashi Vaid, former executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, offers a meditation on the politics of AIDS and the role of family in the lives of lesbians and gay men.
“Some of my reasons for wanting to write about AIDS were altruistic, others selfish. AIDS was decimating the community around me; there was a need to bear witness. AIDS had turned me and others like me into walking time bombs; there was a need to strike back, not just wait to die. What I didn't fully appreciate then, however, was the extent to which I was trying to bargain with AIDS: If I wrote about it, maybe I wouldn't get it. My article ran in May 1985. But AIDS didn't keep its part of the bargain.” —George Whitmore, The New York Times Magazine
Published at the height of the AIDS epidemic, Someone Was Here brings together three stories, reported between 1985 and 1987, about the human cost of the disease.Whitmore writes of Jim Sharp, a man in New York infected with AIDS, and Edward Dunn, one of the many people in Jim’s support network, who volunteers with the Gay Men’s Health Crisis organization in the city. Whitmore also profiles a mother, Nellie, who drives to San Francisco to bring her troubled son, Mike, home to Colorado where he will succumb to AIDS. Finally, Whitmore tells of the doctors and nurses working on the AIDS team in a South Bronx hospital, struggling to treat patients afflicted with an illness they don’t yet fully understand.
Expanded from reporting that originally appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Someone Was Here is a tragic and deeply felt look at a generation traumatized by AIDS, published just one year before George Whitmore’s own death from the disease.
From an international expert editor and contributor team, this new sixth edition includes expanded coverage of HIV testing, assessment and routine follow up and new chapters outlining problematic conditions associated with HIV and AIDS. Prevention strategies, early diagnosis and antiretroviral drugs and pharmacotherapy are covered in detail as well as children and women with HIV. It also addresses key psychological and mental health issues, patient perspectives and the role of patient engagement.
As knowledge into the illness grows and major advances in HIV therapy see more people living with HIV in the community, the ABC of HIV and AIDS, 6e provides clear practical guidance for general practitioners, hospital doctors, nurses, medical students, counsellors, allied health workers and anyone working and caring for patients with HIV and AIDS.
The work explores the barriers of stigma in relation to political participation, and demonstrates how stigma can be effectively challenged and redirected.
The majority of the women in Berger's book are women of color, in particular African Americans and Latinas. The study elaborates the process by which these women have become conscious of their social position as HIV-positive and politically active as activists, advocates, or helpers. She builds a picture of community-based political participation that challenges popular, medical, and scholarly representations of "crack addicted prostitutes" and HIV-positive women as social problems or victims, rather than as agents of social change. Berger argues that the women's development of a political identity is directly related to a process called "life reconstruction." This process includes substance- abuse treatment, the recognition of gender as a salient factor in their lives, and the use of nontraditional political resources.
Approaches include the application of traditional herbs and foods aiming to define both the risks and benefits of such practices. Readers will learn how to treat or ameliorate the effects of chronic retroviral disease using readily available, cheap foods, dietary supplements, and lifestyle changes with specific attention to the needs of patients receiving antiretroviral drugs.
This work provides the most current, concise, scientific appraisal of the efficacy (or lack thereof) of key foods, nutrients, dietary plants, and behavioral shifts in preventing and improving the quality of life of HIV infected infants and adults, while also giving the needed attention to these complex and important side effects.Covers the role of nutrients in the prevention and treatment of HIV-induced physiological changes in children undergoing HAART, including covers of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fat intake, metabolic changes, and vitamin DExplores food and the treatment of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in HIV infected patients, including fundamental coverage and recommendations for careProvides coverage of fitness and exercise regimens, physical activity, and behavioral and lifestyle changes on HIV infected individualsGives careful attention to the specific nutritional needs of patients undergoing HAART therapy

Since 1996, politicians and public officials in the United States have celebrated the “success” of welfare reform legislation despite little, if any, evidence to support their claims. The Promise of Welfare Reform: Political Rhetoric and the Reality of Poverty in the Twenty-First Century presents articles from 23 community practitioners and researchers who challenge the “reform” that has turned public aid from a right to a privilege. The authors transcend conventional academic writing, offering careful and thoughtful analysis that examines the history of welfare reform, its connection to poverty, family issues, and the impact of racism on poverty and on the treatment of the poor.
The Promise of Welfare Reform analyzes the consequences over the past ten years of legislative changes made to the public assistance program formerly known as Aid to Families with Dependant Children (AFDC). This powerful book examines the social, political, and economic context of welfare reform, including the elimination of poverty as a societal goal, how racial and ethic groups have been targeted, popular stereotypes about the poor and their work ethic, anti-immigrant hostility, the struggles of single mothers with children, domestic violence, and marriage as a realistic escape from poverty. The book’s authors address the need for empathy and understanding to change public sentiments about welfare and poverty.
Contributors to The Promise of Welfare Reform include:
Elizabeth A. Segal and Keith M. Kilty, co-founding editors of the Journal of Poverty (Haworth)
Frances Fox Piven, co-author of Regulating the Poor: The Functions of Public Welfare
Ann Withorn, co-editor of For Crying Out Loud: Women’s Poverty in the United States
Mimi Abramovitz, author of Under Attack, Fighting Back: Women and Welfare in the United States

Rebel minister who fled Yemen hit by shoe at news conference
CAIRO — A minister who served in Yemen’s rebel government before defecting to Saudi Arabia was struck by a shoe hurled by a Yemeni journalist at a news conference in Riyadh.
Abdul-Salam Ali Gaber, who served as information minister, is the most senior member of the Houthi administration to defect since civil war broke out in 2014. He made his first public appearance during Sunday’s news conference.
Throwing a shoe is a show of deep contempt in Arab culture. An Iraqi journalist famously threw both his shoes at President George W. Bush at a 2008 news conference in Baghdad, narrowly missing him.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have been at war with a Saudi-led coalition since 2015. The rebels control the capital, Sanaa, and much of northern Yemen.

SIEMENS Malaysia Sdn Bhd has been awarded a RM100 million contract to supply and install a high-speed baggage handling system at the KL International Airport (KLIA).
The project, awarded by the Transport Ministry, will extend baggage handling from the satellite terminal at KLIA to the Express Rail Link (ERL) platform at the main terminal of KLIA.
The project is due for completion in September 2007, after which KL Sentral can facilitate prompt and convenient baggage reclaim.
The baggage handling system will result in a more efficient and faster baggage handling for the convenience of passengers connecting direct to KL Sentral upon their arrival to KLIA, Siemens said in a statement.
Speed of baggage transfer is expected to increase by fivefold. The additional conveyor line will also increase the capacity of the ERL baggage handling at KLIA, it added.
"Passengers today, especially frequent and business travellers, want minimum connecting time. Siemens' new system allows for baggage transfer at an impressive speed of 36km per hour," president and chief executive officer of Siemens Malaysia Rainer Althoff said in the statement.
The present baggage handling system transfers passenger baggage at 7.2km per hour.
KLIA will be the fourth airport in Asia to be equipped with a baggage handling system from Siemens after Hong Kong, Incheon (Seoul) and Beijing International Airport.
Similar systems have been installed by Siemens in Dubai, Frankfurt, Madrid and other major airports in the world.
In Malaysia, Siemens was also the system and solutions provider of the ERL linking KLIA to the city centre and the MASkargo Handling System at KLIA.

Bigger, grippier, lighter and as tough as ever. The Penthouse Flat MK5 pedal is here!
After two years of development and testing the MK5 Penthouse Flat is here. Retaining our signature toughness, the MK5 is the lightest and grippiest Burgtec pedal to date. We did this by not only increasing the size of the pedal platform, but also how concave it is alongside reducing the diameter of the pins and adding the most wear resistant internals on the market. From the outside to the inside, we’ve sweated the details of the MK5 to bring you the ultimate flat pedal.

Herbivorous fish and coral reefs: a relationship we must protect
You are here
Home » Herbivorous fish and coral reefs: a relationship we must protect
Vibrantly colored herbivorous fish feed on the macroalgae that covers coral reefs. These fish play a fundamental role in the health of marine environments by cleaning the algae that deprive corals of light and oxygen. They are vital for maintaining the ecological equilibrium necessary for the reef’s survival.
Recommendations for saving herbivorous fish
Targeted measures are urgently needed to maintain and improve the health of coral reefs. Protecting the colonies of herbivorous fish that sustain them would go a long way toward helping reefs recover. In order to do so, AIDA recommends:
Establishing and adopting strong fishing management and conservation strategies that will help herbivorous fish (particularly parrotfish) populations recover. This includes fishing management initiatives, establishing temporary or location-based bans, and strict quotas on fishing. Other measures include encouraging fisheries to diversify the species they capture. In the Caribbean, for example, fishing for lionfish—an invasive species—could be promoted as a viable economic alternative in hundreds of fishing communities.
Establishing marine protected areas and recovery zoneswhere fishing is prohibited. These areas or zones, which should include at-risk habitats, need urgent protection because they are considered refuges for juvenile and adult fish. Allowing herbivorous fish species to complete their life cycles would contribute to the resilience of key marine environments like coral reefs.
Standardize monitoring techniques of fish populations and implement alternative management practices. Encouraging optimal standard practices would allow scientists working in diverse habitats to improve monitoring, as well as fishery and ecosystem management. Among other options, reef restoration is also extremely beneficial, and has already been adopted in several areas of Mexico.
Promote comprehensive regional management systems that allow local authorities to share experiences and establish shared management and conservation tools.
Create and implement norms and laws that protect reefs and herbivorous fish. These could include laws that promote adequate fishing management practices and effectively combat threats like overfishing and tourism that damage reef habitats. Such laws could also encourage low impact coastal development that incorporates thorough scientific and technical evaluation into the planning process.

Kano State has concluded plans to provide functional primary healthcare centres in all 484 political wards, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has said. Dr. Ganduje stated this when he received the Chairman, Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) Board of Directors, Mr. Emma Eneukwu at Government House, Kano.
Ganduje said the investments in primary healthcare centres in all wards of the state had become necessary to take off the pressure from tertiary healthcare centres.
“This vision is driven by our desire to alleviate the stress on tertiary health care facilities like Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. Presently the hospital’s capacity has been overstretched due to increasing number of patients; when you have functional primary health care centers, the burden will be less.
“We are also about to start the upgrade of hospitals in the four new Emirates to 400 – bed capacity, and when this is completed with standard equipment and health workers, it will minimize the need for patients coming to the city for medical attention,” Ganduje said.
He said the health sector was critical to his administration, and that huge resources were committed to completing the Muhammadu Buhari Specialist Hospital and the Isyaku Rabiu Pediatric Hospital to a state that they were currently ranked among the best public health facilities in the country.
Chairman, AKTH Board of Directors, Mr. Emma Eneukwu thanked the governor for constructing the hospital’s Community Medicine Complex and for appointing several personnel of the hospital into key government positions.
He appealed to the government to help in renovating the roads inside the hospital and to fix electricity cables that were damaged during construction of projects in the area.

Bears notebook: Hester: ‘I’ve got to step up’ on kick returns
Devin Hester set an NFL record with five kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns as a rookie.
Then he broke it with six as a second-year player.
But he has zero return touchdowns in seven games since signing a four-year contract extension worth up to $40 million.
The Bears still rank fourth in the NFL in average starting position on kickoffs (29.3) because teams have squibbed several kicks against the Bears. Hester proudly pointed that out Wednesday, saying the offense has consistently gotten good starting field position, but he also said he’s not doing enough.
“The return game is not the way it was. I put all the pressure on me,” Hester said. “At the end of the day, I’m the one with the ball in my hand. I’ve got to be the one to figure it out and pick up the slack. They rely on me. I’ve got to step up and make big plays.
“I want to be consistent throughout my whole career, not just the first two years.”
Hester said increased receiving duties – he’s fourth on the Bears with 18 catches, for 215 yards – hasn’t been a factor. “I’m not tired when it’s time to return kickoffs and punts,” he said.
Coach Lovie Smith said Hester “assumes he’s going to score every time he touches the football. I can see why a guy like that would think that way, but it’s been a lot more than just Devin. We have to do some things to help him out, namely block better. It’s just a matter of time, though.”
Seven Bears on injured list
Seven Bears starters were on the injured list Wednesday. Defensive tackle Tommie Harris (knee) did not practice, but Smith said he would today.
Six other players were limited in practice. The biggest question marks among them are linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer (thumb), wide receiver Brandon Lloyd (knee) and cornerback Nathan Vasher (wrist). Cornerback Charles Tillman (shoulder), safety Danieal Manning (hamstring) and receiver Marty Booker (knee) also were limited in practice.
“All of the players are getting better,” Smith said in his typical refrain. “We’re encouraged about them being able to play this weekend.”
Hillenmeyer practiced with his thumb heavily wrapped. “He can do most of the things,” Smith said. “I’m anxious to see what kind of progress he makes the rest of the week.”

Different manufacturers recommend different intervals for flushing the coolant from a car's cooling system, but the most common time frames range between two to three years. This time frame varies with the particular vehicle and the type of coolant that the car needs.
A coolant flush involves removing all of the fluid within a cooling system. Hoses attach to both ends of the system, and the technician power flushes and cleans the whole system before adding a new mixture of coolant. Any dirt, rust and sludge that have built up go out with the old coolant, and the result is a healthier engine.

Fai Named SCIAC Athlete of the Week
Occidental swimming sensation Dickson Fai ’08 was named Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week on Jan. 25 after breaking two pool records at Redlands five days earlier.
Fai, an All-American in the 100 and 200 backstroke in 2005, swam a 1:55.90 in the 200 backstroke – about 1 second shy of an NCAA “B”cut. He logged a 1:59.23 in the 200 IM, eclipsing the previous pool record by 0.02 seconds. Fai sat out last semester due to illness and both performances came after just eight days of training.
Fai, of Hong Kong, made the All-SCIAC team as a frosh. He is the Occidental record-holder in the 100 backstroke (50.49), the 200 backstroke (1:50.67), and the 200 IM (1:55.23). Fai also was a member of the record-setting 200 medley relay (1:37.22). As a frosh, he was SCIAC Male Athlete of the Year.

S&P/ASX 200 futures advanced 0.34%, while Hang Seng index futures added 0.40%
Asian equities are poised to rise on Tuesday after the S&P 500 and Dow indexes set records as a streak of strong U.S. economic data fuelled optimism even as a smaller-than-expected jump in 10-year Treasury notes eased inflation concerns.
Investor sentiment was buoyed by a survey from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) on Monday showing activity in the U.S. services industry reached its highest level on record in March. The data came after a jobs report on Friday beat forecasts with 916,000 added to the U.S. economy last month.
The jobs report set the stage for what we’re seeing today, said Thomas Hayes, chairman of Great Hill Capital LLC in New York. It’s not only that the report crushed expectations but it showed that wage inflation was subdued as people compete for labour.
Australian S&P/ASX 200 futures advanced 0.34% in early trading, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures added 0.40%.
The S&P 500 and the Dow have rallied in recent sessions as widespread vaccinations and an unprecedented government stimulus boosted investor confidence in an economic rebound and spurred demand for sectors, including energy, financials and materials, which are primed to benefit from economic reopening.
On Monday, gains were led by sectors that have underperformed recently, including communication services, consumer discretionary and technology, as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remained below a 14-month high hit last week.
The rate of change with the 10-year yield has slowed and that has created a runway for some of the left behind sectors in recent weeks like tech and other yield sensitive areas like utilities, Hayes said.
On Wall Street, Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.13% to a record high of 33,527.19, the S&P 500 rose 1.44% to a record 4,077.91 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.67%, to 13,705.59.

Campaigners for the Left List were set to join a protest against airport extension at Heathrow airport in London on Thursday this week, Terminal Five’s opening day.
Elaine Graham-Leigh, who is standing on the London assembly list, told Socialist Worker, “I am going to the protest with Left List’s mayoral candidate Lindsey German.
“This is an important issue, not just for London but for the whole world. Tackling climate change means cutting emissions from aviation.
“Labour argues that extending Heathrow is important to attract business into Britain. It is putting the interests of capitalism over the future of the planet.”

Finally this week we completed the 4 bore ‘Model de Luxe’ that completes the set of seven already delivered to celebrate our bicentenary back in 2012. We suppose in gunmaking terms 5 years after the event for such a one off beast cannot be too bad! In truth it was ordered after the original set were delivered, as up until then we had not designed let alone built a 4 bore double shotgun in hand detachable lock format.
The final result with full case colour hardening by the St.Ledger brothers is a seriously nice job and we have to give credit to all those involved in the building of this magnificent gun. The 4 bore really is in a league of its own and for those of you who have never handled one they truly are a gargantuan gun!
The ‘Swan’ carved game scenes really do complement this gun very well, especially when combined with the carved fences, traditional scroll and gold borders. All of us here at Westley Richards would like to thank the very patient owner whose commission made this gun and the earlier set of seven guns a reality. They are a unique and very special set of guns in the history of Westley Richards.
Here in the UK the season for hunting Roe Bucks opens tomorrow, April 1st. This diminutive little deer is revered throughout Europe and the stalking and taking of a mature 6 point trophy is considered by many one of the finest hunts you can partake in.
As a tribute to the Roe deer we were commissioned a few years ago to build this beautifully scaled hand detachable lock double rifle in 9.3 x 62 calibre. Weighing a mere 6lb 14ozs the rifle is fitted with Westley Richards patent single selective trigger, a slim semi beavertail forend and open sights regulated at 100 yards for relatively close range hunting.
In this calibre the rifle is primarily intended for the great Spanish ‘Monterias’ where you might also encounter big Red Stags, Fallow Bucks and huge Wild Boar. Nevertheless, it makes a super compact and quick handling woodland rifle and would certainly be great fun to use during the Roe Buck rut in late July/early August when the deer can be called to within yards of the hunter!
It was a fine winter day, in the duck season. I had my pickup loaded with all things for an afternoon hunt. My Labrador, Miss Feather (Miss Duckhill Sheba’s Bournebrook Feathershower) had already occupied her place in the passenger’s seat for several hours as she always did on these days. I had worked through the never-easy task of selecting the gun and this one was well beyond ordinary. It was a Scott Premier 10 bore, with Damascus barrels. It was all done up in ducks as they often were, but this one was decorated with several odd and unusual species of sea ducks. I was almost out the door for the 1 ½ hour drive when I received word that Simon had gone to the other side.
My first reaction was not to go hunting, but then realized that was a very foolish notion, one that would disappoint him deeply. Instead, the day and the GUN would be a tribute. The Scott was befitting almost any occasion, but today it had to be a Westley and not just any Westley, but the finest one I knew. One only has to witness the title of these pages to know Simon valued Exploras and I value them as well. In fact I see them as the most complete and sophisticated firearms ever made. The gun today would be “The Queen of Birmingham” a Deluxe Explora and the most wonderful Explora and Westley I have ever met.
It came to me in a rather unusual way; out of an auction. I saw the gun, held it and crushing-love at first sight would be an understatement. It was glorious and essentially new… and I knew I could not afford it. A mutual friend liked the gun equally, but he had something I did not, an invincible purse. He told me simply to bid and buy the gun. If in the end I could afford the hammer price I could have it, if not I was to continue and buy it for him. I wrote a number, my very last number, down before the bidding began. The hammer fell on that number.
With it I began to perfect Explora ammunition, ammunition that would be ballistically identical to that which the great Leslie B Taylor had created. I used a ballistic technique similar to the originals to get 735 grains (1 ¾ ounces) to go 1250 fps at normal shot gun pressure. Then I developed bullets that would fly like the L.T. Capped originals. In the end I had a cartridge driving bullets that would fly exactly to those glorious sights, each and every one of them, all the way to 300 yards; and be deadly when they arrived.
The Queen performed wonderfully as a shot gun; taking valley quail, rare mountain quail, and ducks with perfection. Its crowning moment came late one autumn afternoon in the Sheep Creek Valley. The great yellow 6 x 6 bull elk walked out of the thick young timber into a room-sized open meadow and stood broad side. I was sitting with The Queen on my knees and made my best estimate of 250 yards and turned up that leaf. I looked at those massive shoulders over the sights, sights that were strangely rock solid and crystal clear. My son was beside me and I whispered, “250 yards????”… “Yes, very close”, was his reply. I pressed the front trigger. The big bullet arced across the valley and landed with a mighty “wok” as the bull lurch into the black timber. We listened, for there was nothing to see and suddenly there was a huge fir-rending crash in the timber, followed seconds later by another when the big bull slid out into a little clearing. The bullet struck the top of the front sight with laser precision, dead center and completely through both of his shoulders. She is a very, very special Westley.
I thought back on these things as we watched the sky over the pretty little pond. It was a still cold, a day without ducks. And then he came, the loan magnificent mallard drake with the most brilliant orange feet I have ever seen. He circled twice and levelled across the far side of the decoys; at 40 yards… almost too far for an Explora barrel. The same right barrel spoke and he folded; the only duck we saw that day. Feather broke ice to retrieve him. To me there was a perfection about it all.
It may seem odd that I waited so long to write this, but it took me time to heal and find the courage to fully address the loss of this wonderful man. While he was a bastion of the trade and a truly passionate gun person I think I miss that dry humour and wit most of all. Some time ago I addressed my Selvyt Pad and Tin for preserving the Westley Detachable locks in these pages. When he received this he feigned being stricken and stunned. He thought he had the only tin and I had poached in this sacred space. But then in virtually his last notes to me, he won the day as always, “Well only real Westley men have a tin”!
He does not know this yet, but a Hundred Pounder is making those tracks he is following.
Well they just keep coming! Another .500 3″ hand detachable lock double rifle has just been completed from engraving this week and it once again shows a subtle variation on the classic Westley Richards ‘house’ scroll. Yet another style of carved fence which combines a banner with acanthus leaves, nice indeed.
It seems that we are one of the few double rifle manufacturers actually getting anything out there these days. The beauty of this rifle is that it is going to a young enthusiastic hunter who will use it considerably, once again proving that we build genuine user rifles as well as the fabulous presentation pieces you see on this blog.
Finding real quality in vintage guns is certainly getting harder and harder these days. Much of what is coming to the market is clearly tired or in many cases now of recent manufacture. It is therefore nice to see a pair of guns like these lovely Holland & Holland ‘Royal Brevis’ guns from the 1930’s.
Hardly used the guns retain practically all of their original case colour hardening and it has to be said they are in fantastic condition. The original ‘Brevis’ name came about in the 1930’s in response to the success that E.J.Churchill were having with their short 25″ barrel guns. The word Brevis is taken from the latin meaning ‘short’ and the Holland guns were originally built with 26 1/2″ barrels primarily aimed at the grouse and partridge shooting market. In 1932 the name was changed to ‘Royal Brevis’ as the guns were of Holland’s best quality.
With the short barrels and Holland self opener, these guns really are very handy and quick to shoot and quite honestly there is no reason why they would not be relevant today on a good grouse moor or for shooting partridges in Norfolk.
The guns are fitted with Hollands detachable locks.
The engraving on the bottom of the actions clearly highlights the self opening patent of 1922.
Whilst the shooting season may well be behind us now it is always nice to be finishing guns with a view to the coming season which for many is only 6 months away! The pair of guns shown here will certainly be one of the first pairs put to good use when the grouse season starts.
These 16g guns are built with 30″ barrels on our hand detachable lock action with traditional full scroll engraving, case colour hardening, double trigger and Prince of Wales grips. The slim beaver-tail forends are an unusual choice on a pair of guns for the British shooting scene, such forends found more commonly on guns built for the US market. That said the new owner shoots big days and is a big man so the extra surface area of the beaver-tail should make for comfortable grip on a hot peg!
Presented in our dark tan lightweight leather case with tools and gold leaf leather label, they make for a wonderful package which the new owner will have years of fun using. Hopefully the grouse numbers this year will be kind to him!
Whilst we are best known for our hand detachable lock (droplock) shotguns which are the mainstay of our shotgun production, it is always nice to see our sidelock side by side shotgun pass through the factory. At present we have several pairs of 12g, a trio of 16g, several 20g and a 28g passing through the works.
Our sidelock shotgun is built on a round body action with assisted opening, Southgate ejector work and exhibition walnut as standard. We offer both pinned and pinless locks with the majority of exhibition grade guns now moving towards pinless so that the engraving is uninterrupted.
Here we have a lovely pair of 12g guns with elaborate relief scroll, carved fences and traditional game bird scenes. The rounded lines of the guns lend themselves to a wrap around format of engraving that is certainly very elegant and keeps everything flowing. The wood is once again outstanding, another signature feature of Westley Richards best guns and rifles.
New in this week from engraving is another of our traditional hand detachable lock double rifles in .500 3″ NE. This particular rifle has been built on a heavyweight frame as the client requested that the rifle weigh close to 12lb 8ozs on completion. Aesthetically the additional size at the breach ends makes for a nice sweep in the barrels which will become more evident once the rifle is finished.
Engraving wise we have another variation on our traditional ‘house’ scroll. In this instance the fences have been carved with a design that complements the scroll very well. The game scene of a mean old looking buffalo combines carving with fine detailing, as opposed to the more rounded carving of animals you get to see, which often lacks lifelike details. There is a nice perception of distance with the scene that should be highlighted more when the cover plate is blacked in the traditional manner.
We are looking forward to getting this one completed and out to the hunting field this year where with a bit of luck it will take a big buffalo or two!
Here we have a small selection of used guns that have recently come up for sale at our UK factory.
The first offering is a slightly unusual Westley Richards 12g, fixed lock ejector, assisted opener. Built in 1955, on a Webley scroll back action with two triggers, tang top lever and automatic beetle back game safe. It retains some original case colour and is engraved with large scroll and the Westley name in a block format. It has 26” barrels with 2 ¾” chamber, choked ¼ & ⅝. The straight hand stock measures 14 ⅝ to centre and a splinter forend with Anson push rod release. It’s slightly unusual to have made a fixed lock action with assisted opening and it’s not a gun we would have made many of. It’s a very lively gun in the hands and points very quickly weighing only 6lbs 3oz, it would make the ideal walk up gun and the assisted opener works flawlessly meaning you really can get your next two shots off much quicker. The gun would benefit from a light refurbishment but is sold as is and personally I would just take this gun out and shoot it and enjoy it for what it is, a solid, usable quick shooting boxlock.
Next we have a superb Marcel Thys sidelock double rifle in 7x75R Vom Hofe calibre. Bolstered sidelock action with two triggers, the front of which is chequered and articulated, engraved with large floral scroll and retaining all original case colour hardening. 24 ½” chopper lump barrels with a single folding leaf sight regulated to 100 yards and ramp foresight. Semi beavertail forend and a full pistol grip stock measuring 14 ⅛” to centre with carved drop points, strap over comb, grip cap with trap and black rubber recoil pad. The wood is exhibition quality and absolutely stunning. Weighing 9lbs 2oz this is a high quality rifle from a very respected Belgium maker.
In bolt actions we have a Holland & Holland .275 H&H Magnum take down rifle. Built on a Mauser ’98 action with a 26” threaded take down barrel held in place by a locking pin and keeper pin, it has a rear island base with one fixed sight regulated to 200 yards and two folding leaves at 350 and 500 yards. The stock measures 14” to centre with a cheek piece, horn heel plate, case colour hardened grip cap with trap and horn forend tip. Weighing 7lbs 14oz this is an opportunity to own a really very nice Holland take down rifle in their propriety cartridge.
We also have a Gastinne Renette of Paris bolt action rifle in .300 H&H. Built on an DWM Mauser action it has a 25” barrel with a rear island base with one fixed and 3 folding leaf express sight and ramp foresight. Full pistol stock measuring 13 ½” to centre with a rubber recoil pad, strap over comb and grip cap with trap. The rifle comes with a Zeiss Diavari 1.5-6×42 on quick detachable claw mounts. A well-made bolt action in a popular plains game calibre. Weighing 7lbs 14oz with the scope, a nice practical package.
Last but not least we have a J.Rigby .275 which has been re-barrelled by Paul Roberts of J.Roberts & Son. 22″ barrel with a mint bore, hinged floor plate, 13 7/8″ semi pistol stock with a slim Silvers pad and sling studs. Weighing 7lb 5ozs the rifle comes with 1″ mounts and is an affordable and usable English rifle in a popular, smooth shooting calibre.
All the guns and rifles will be on our used gun site shortly but for any initial enquires, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.org or call +44 121 333 1918.
We are lucky enough here at the factory to hold quite a diverse collection of guns and rifles both old and new. Amongst these is this very nice .577 ‘Elephant’ rifle that we completed a few years ago. The rifle had never in fact been photographed properly and so we have just taken the opportunity to take a few shots.
The rifle is built on our square back hand detachable lock action in the classic .577 3″ magnum load. This round had a formidable reputation as a real ‘elephant’ calibre and so we decided to engrave the rifle with semi carved elephants entwined in an elaborate scroll design.
You would not know it, but the rifle has in fact been on safari which is always good to know as so many people assume that such rifles are only built for display. We have always looked at the guns and rifles we build from the purist eye of the gunmaker, functionality and aesthetics first, embellishment second. Ultimately, if you combine these elements well, then the final product can be an outstanding example of craftsmanship.
You will probably notice that the action is more square overall in the actual file up compared to the more recent roundedness that we have been doing. We actually offer both options to clients as some do prefer the more classic ‘box’ shape of the pre-war rifles. Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder!

About to have this amazing knife. 1095 steel, saw back design. What is y'all's take on this knife
Looks cool and useless to me. Funky blade design doesn't lend itself to utility cutting, adds a degree of difficulty to sharpening. Saw back in such a short knife is incredibly unusable, especially with that saw tooth geometry, and can easily snag (likely will) in the sheath if it's to be used as a self defense knife, especially under stress. The saw back is decorative mostly.
That particular edge design WOULD lend itself well to chopping, but it's too short to be very effective.
Couldn't give it to me. Don't wanna be a blunt jerk, but I'm being honest.
It could possibly work as a Skinner. But...I dunno. It wouldn't be that great for the job.
I agree man, fact is I am getting this knife or its trade and or sales value. At 149.99 it's a good trade and I will probably put it on eBay or sell it on a forum. It's pretty cool looking yes but as far as using it I never will


I bought the BT2100-63 Router and card from PCW the other week. Straightforward install and nice and secure with the built in firewall. Works a treat - especially with my sons X-box plugged directly into one of the ethernet ports in the back of the router for X-box live! I can now use my laptop anywhere in the house. The router has another 3 free ethernet ports and can support up to 10 wireless computers - so potentially a network of 14. Don't think I'll be using all of those!!!! I would recommend this set-up for novices due to the ease of installation but you could probably get a similair thing for a little less money. A friend of mine has a Belkin set-up with 1 desktop - hardwired - and 2 laptops on wireless. He has a bigger family than me. The only problem he has had was with the initial set-up when he had difficulty getting the laptops to play. The desktop was fine from the off. His system has a built in firewall too - and I believe that it is also 128 bit encryption. A friend at work, who knows considerably more about computers than me, also has the BT kit and says that it is the easiest to get up and running.

Agroforum Extra 30.
Nepenthe – or chasing away sorrow
(Dr. László Bódis)
New grapevine varieties and clones on the national list
Last year the choice of our table and wine grape varieties were enriched by various varieties and clones. The article describes the origin, the most important morphological characteristics and the production values of the particular varieties.
Parent-progeny relations among our grapevine varieties
(Péter Bodor, Zsuzsanna Varga)
The grape varieties enter into commercial growing as the outcome of selection or crossing. This article wishes to present the results of national and international investigations concerning the origin of hybrids. The varieties involved in growing via selection, i.e. were created by a mutation of a plant (e.g. bud mutation) are not covered by this article.
Evaluating grapevine rootstocks – accommodating to site conditions
(Anna Csikász Krizsics)
Rootstocks can significantly modify the production value of the variety, expressed in particular in the vigour of the vine, the longevity of the vineyard and the crop quantity. The effect on quality is less measurable, it acts more indirectly. This article lets us have an insight into the experiments with the combinations of Cabernet sauvignon established by the Research Institute of Viticulture and Oenology of Pécs University.
Suitability of different soil management methods on areas exposed to erosion
(Dr. Péter Varga, Dr. János Májer, Csaba Németh)
The authors present the results for 2007-2008 of their soil cover trial. Among the tillage operations available for use in integrated vine production, the investigators studied, in addition to soil cover by organic waste, the effects of lasting and temporary soil cover on the development of vine plants, yields, nutrient content of the soil and leaves, the moisture content and compactness of the soil in a vineyard planted on a site with an average slope of 10-12 %.
Quality vine-growing and low crop load
(Dr. Gábor Zanathy, István Fazekas)
There are strict requirements and legislation specifying yields and the number of viable buds left on the vine. In case of low crop load fruit quality can be fairly good, but excessively reducing the number of buds can easily lead to breaking the bearing balance of the vine, expressed in too vigorous shoot growth. Therefore it is worth briefly considering the factors influencing vigour of grapevine and clarifying the various effects of reducing crop load.
Requirements of organic grapevine growing and the system to control and certify their fulfilment
A great many people speak about ecological growing but what do we mean by that? Which are the main requirements that one needs to meet during ecological production, in particular in terms of plant protection, nutrient supply, weed control and soil cultivation? What is the period of time available for transition to ecological growing, furthermore, how does the control and certification scheme work? The article will give the answer to all these questions.
Tools to help pruning
(István Fazekas, Dr. Gábor Zanathy)
Pruning is a very labour-intensive operation, therefore trying and introducing technologies facilitating and replacing hand pruning is gaining more and more importance. This is why the authors from Budapest Corvinus University guide readers to the world of pneumatic and electric pruning scissors and of mechanical pre-pruning.
Susceptibility of grapevine varieties to powdery mildew
(Dr. Edit Hajdu)
Last year growers were fighting against a threatening fungal disease of grapes, powdery mildew throughout the country. They encountered infections impossible to control in various wine-regions. Many times, thorough knowledge of the varieties or the process of the disease for basing practical plant protection is often missing. This is why we publish the experience of the investigators in the Research Institute for Viticulture and Oenology obtained in 2008 with the susceptibility of grape varieties to support more efficient control of powdery mildew.
About resistance, a bit differently (x)
(Dr. Antal Kürti, Dr. Elemér Tóth)
DuPont presents its fungicide offer to fight powdery mildew and downy mildew of grapes.
What has happened in Szekszárd vineyards since the emergency? Report
The author talked with dr. Géza Vörös, head of the Directorate of Plant Protection and Soil Conservation of the Agricultural Office of County about the experience of vintage obtained last year in Szekszárd wine–region and the pest management situation in vineyards after the withdrawal of many pesticides from the market planned by the EU.
Pergado F – Long-life and safe protection (x)
Syngenta Kft. recommends growers its fungicide Pergado F (mandipropamid +folpet) to control downy mildew in vineyards.
Conclusions of grapevine powdery mildew in 2008
(János Czink, Attila Hollósi, Mihály Kovács, Diána Mészáros Pólya, József Mikonya, László Somogyi)
Some plant protection professional working at different wine-regions of the country summarise their experience about powdery mildew. It turns out from the article whether professionals were able to protect their vineyards from the disease, which were the active substances and products found efficient in the control and how they are preparing for fighting the pathogen in the forthcoming pest management season.
Technology of spraying in vineyards
(Dr. György Dimitrievits)
Efficient pest management is a precondition of successful vine-growing. The applied sprayer and the level of operation also play an important part in the success of the control. Therefore it is important to take into account the technical conditions such as selecting and operating the machines.
Weed control options in vineyards
The article summarises the criteria and jobs to consider for achieving successful weed control in vineyards before and during planting, the major weeds in vineyards, as well as the mechanical, agronomic and chemical means of control.
A new scheme for wine categories. Report
The European Union will create a completely new basis for the protection of origin of wines and the related indications and marking from 1 August 2009. This will give a new task for every winery, but information provided to consumers will also be basically changed. We asked Csaba Horváth, the secretary general of the National Council of Vine-growing Communities in order to be informed about the most important criteria and understand.
Hungarian wine exports in the ocean of 5 billion Euros exports in agriculture
(Compiled by: Jenő Szabó)
You may get to know the last year’s results in terms of data for Hungarian wine exports and imports.
Turning a hobby into an enterprise. Report
This is a talk with a grower in the wine-region Neszmély, Mihály Szöllősi about vine-growing and winemaking.
Are there two kinds of protection of origin?
(Dr. Ágnes Szabó)
The author of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development outlines the wine law and industry law aspects of the protection of origin.
Thirty years in Villány. Report
In addition to vine-growing and protection of grapes, Béla Jekl is also committed to winemaking in Villány.
BASF conference on vine growing and wine making
(Dr. György Demes)
In early February it was the ninth time that the Agrodivision of BASF Hungária Kft. organised the meeting of vine-growers and winemakers at Ramada Hotel in Balatonalmádi. In the frame of the technical programme, the participants listened to valuable talks about the foreseen adverse effects of climate change already observed even today, the current situation and future prospects of the grape and wine market, as well as about the experience of last year’s pest management in vineyards.
