Experts split on 'Nakba law'
Approval of motion to prohibit events marking Palestinian Arab 'catastrophe' of Israel's inception raises concerns among legal experts. Tel Aviv University law expert calls motion 'foolish', while Sha'arei Mishpat law professor says motion legitimate, 'people forget where we are living'
The motion approved by the Ministerial Committee on Legislation on Sunday to ban Nakba Day, that refers to the refugee flight of Palestinian Arabs following Israel's inception, has caused a storm among legal experts and intellectuals, who say human rights and the freedom of expression, that have been the guidelines to Israeli democracy, will suffer a difficult blow.
"To what level of stupidity can they sink?" wondered Dr. Eyal Gross, a constitutional law expert at Tel Aviv University, "it's the kind of law that tries to make everyone think the same way. I don't know of any similar laws in any democratic country."
According to the motion, that was brought before the committee by Knesset Member Alex Miller (Yisrael Beiteinu), anyone marking Nakba Day could receive up to three years in jail.
The Ministerial Committee on Legislation approved the motion despite the objection of a number of ministers and the attorney general's representative, and it will be put before the Knesset for a first reading next week.
Advocate Theodor Schwarzberg, an expert on the High Court of Justice and human rights says the new law threatens the freedom of expression.
"Anyone who wants to mark Independence Day as a Nakba - is entitled to. I can understand concerns that marking this day could easily turn into incitement against Israel, but in such a cause there are legal restraints.
"The criminal law determines the line between freedom of expression and incitement against the State. Therefore, there is no need for the 'Nakba law'. In any case, it will be very difficult for it to pass the test of the High Court of Justice."
Schwarzberg continued to say that "the general trend in the enlightened world is to limit freedom of expression as little as possible. Not only does this bill go against the trends of the democratic world – but it is also very problematic from a constitutional point of view".
Dr. Gross says laws like the 'Nakba law' are a thing of the past: "Even in the patriotic United States there is a well known Supreme Court ruling that says the law prohibiting flag burning is unconstitutional."
According to Gross,despite the fact that the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union has fallen, it seems that someone in the Knesset longs for the days in which there was only one truth, that was dictated by the government.
'Forbid Jews to complain about anti-Semitism'"You can travel to communist China, where freedom of expression is not particularly strong, and you can join the Turks, who are always agitated when the Armenians say they have been wronged. Why not pass a law that forbids Jews to complain about anti-Semitism because it may offend someone?" he wondered.
President of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, author Sami Michael expressed a similar opinion. "In the last year, we have been witnessing a disturbing deterioration in the protection of the freedom of expression and the upholding of democratic values," he said.
"Marking Nakba Day is no threat on the State of Israel's security, but the legitimate basic right of every person, group or people to express their pain following a catastrophe. This is not just about the rights of the Arab minority but about safely crossing all lines towards the brutal oppression of everyone's freedom of expression."
Meanwhile, there are those intellectuals that believe the legislation of a 'Nakba law" is legitimate. Professor Eliav Shuchtman of the Sha'arei Mishpat law school, says, "The State has the right to educate the public and mold the citizens' character, even through tools of legislation."
Shuchtman told Ynet, "I don't see anything wrong with a State that proclaims it is Jewish not giving legitimization to the denial of it being so. Imagine US Jews declaring a day of morning on July 4 - that would be unacceptable.
"How can citizens view the birthday of the country they live in as illegitimate? People forget where we are living. There is a struggle for our land here. In terms of international law, it is the Jewish people's right to establish a Jewish State here in the Land of Israel.
"Claims being made these days that it is a state of all its citizens is against international law and what was written in the British Mandate. The moment the Arab public in the country says the establishment of a Jewish State is a catastrophe, it contradicts not only the Zionist outlook, but also the principles of international law. Just as I don't have the right to defame people in the street, they do not have the right to defame the State."

If we learned anything from the impeachment of three presidents it is we are nation of laws, not men. Except if you are one of the nearly 80 Illinois sheriffs who have boldly proclaimed they will not enforce the state’s new assault-weapons ban.
Lake County Sheriff John Idleburg is not one of the many sheriffs who are hiding behind the possibility the Protect Illinois Communities Act is unconstitutional and could be overturned in the courts. Common sense dictates that any bill adopted by the legislature and signed into law can be labeled unconstitutional once lawsuits are filed and the system of rulings and appeals begins.
Gov, J.B. Pritzker signed the law last week. It prohibits selling semi-automatic rifles and pistols, .50-caliber guns, extended magazines and attachments that can increase a weapon’s rate of fire. Additionally, the law requires existing owners of semi-automatic rifles to register their ownership with the Illinois State Police by this time next year.
Sheriffs, like other elected officials, are sworn to uphold state laws. They and those they supervise do it daily making sure Illinoisans are safe. They rein in speeders, respond to shootings, break-ins, robberies, thefts, reports of vandalism and inspect redlight-camera transgressions.
All are violations outlined by laws enacted by the legislature or local governments. Illinois sheriffs seem to like those laws, as they should.
About 30% of the state’s 102 sheriffs definitely don’t like the Protect Illinois Communities Act. This despite the push from citizens as a reaction to continuing gun violence across the state, from Chicago to Peoria and beyond.
Their argument is like some followers of organized religion about which doctrines to follow. Plenty accept what they believe to be gospel; others take different paths.
“It’s incredibly dangerous for me to cherry-pick and enforce only laws I agree with, or only laws I feel are important,” Idleburg, who was reelected to a second four-year term in November, said in a lengthy Facebook post the other day explaining his reasoning. “Like everything else we do in our profession, we will use discretion and common sense.”
Idleburg wholeheartedly supports the weapons ban. He added: “This law does not mean our deputies will be going door to door, asking for documentation on weapons. It does not mean we are forming a team to search your home for weapons.”
His point of view, easy to take in a county which saw a mass shooting at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade by a gunman brandishing an assault weapon, runs counter to that of the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association.
“We are always supportive of new tools, techniques and laws that assist us in preventing and holding accountable those that wage efforts of harm and violence on others,” the group said in a news release. “However, this new law does not do that.”
Indeed, the new law may not stop senseless and random shootings, most which are carried out by pistol-packing criminals. Attorneys and constitutional scholars remain split if the law — the ninth in the nation banning the sale and possession of military-type rifles — violates the U.S. Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, which guarantees “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Remember that AR-15 weapons and their like were banned for 10 years under federal law, from 1994 to 2004.
The current anti-gun ban stand taken by the dozens of sheriffs doesn’t instill confidence in law-abiding citizens. The stance also doesn’t enhance the low opinion and distrust of law enforcement that many Illinoisans hold.
Being a cop or state trooper these days is tough duty. The police profession is seeing hundreds of officers hanging up their holsters and taking early retirement, or moving to more bucolic surroundings.
The governor and Attorney General Kwame Raoul have threatened sheriffs who don’t enforce the state’s new weapons ban with removing them from office. Unsure how they’ll do that, for Illinois doesn’t have a recall provision in the state Constitution.
Pritzker said last week that those who don’t enforce the ban “won’t be in their job.” So far, two legal challenges to the bill have surfaced, filed in Downstate county courthouses. More are expected.
State officials weren’t the only backers of the measure. Mayors across Lake County, like Waukegan’s Ann Taylor, Leon Rockingham Jr. of North Chicago and Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit, among others, offered their calls for an assault- weapons ban.
Until judges decide otherwise or give gun-rights activists injunctive relief, the weapons ban is the law of the Land of Lincoln. Sheriffs across the state need to do their jobs as required under their oaths of office. We are a nation of laws.

Guelph - Delegates want sidewalk on Woodlawn Road put back into capital budget
Removal from the capital budget of a multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists on Woodlawn Road was top of mind for many of the delegations who spoke to council Wednesday night after staff presented the capital budget. Almost two-third of the delegations spoke about it. Yvette Tendick, of the Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation, called the current path a "goat path" that forces pedestrians onto the busy road at times because the snow makes it impossible for walking.

Support the Monkey! Tell All your Friends and Teachers
prevented me from distinguishing. With a loud long knock, the
newcomer appealed to the door.
‘Is it you, Mr. St. John?’ cried Hannah.
‘Yes-yes; open quickly.’ ‘Well, how wet and cold you must be,
such a wild night as it is! Come inyour sisters are quite uneasy
about you, and I believe there are bad folks about.
There has been a beggar-woman-I declare she is not gone yet!- laid
Get up! for shame! Move off, I say!’ ‘Hush, Hannah! I have a word
to say to the woman. You have done your duty in excluding, now
let me do mine in admitting her. I was near, and listened to both
you and her. I think this is a peculiar case-I must at least examine
Young woman, rise, and pass before me into the house.’ With
difficulty I obeyed him. Presently I stood within that clean, bright
kitchen-on the very hearth-trembling, sickening; conscious of an
aspect in the last degree ghastly, wild, and weather-beaten. The
two ladies, their brother, Mr.
St. John, the old servant, were all gazing at me.
‘St. John, who is it?’ I heard one ask.
‘I cannot tell: I found her at the door,’ was the reply.
‘She does look white,’ said Hannah.
‘As white as clay or death,’ was responded. ‘She will fall: let her
sit.’ And indeed my head swam: I dropped, but a chair received
me. I still possessed my senses, though just now I could not speak.
‘Perhaps a little water would restore her. Hannah, fetch some. But
she is worn to nothing. How very thin, and how very bloodless!’ ‘A
mere spectre!’ ‘Is she ill, or only famished?’ ‘Famished, I think.
Hannah, is that milk? Give it me, and a piece of bread.’ Diana (I
knew her by the long curls which I saw drooping between me and
the fire as she bent over me) broke some bread, dipped it in milk,
and put it to my lips. Her face was near mine: I saw there was pity
in it, and I felt sympathy in her hurried breathing. In her simple
words, too, the same balm-like emotion spoke: ‘Try to eat.’ ‘Yes-
try,’ repeated Mary gently; and Mary’s hand removed my sodden
bonnet and lifted my head. I tasted what they offered me: feebly at
first, eagerly soon.
‘Not too much at first-restrain her,’ said the brother; ‘she has had
enough.’ And he withdrew the cup of milk and the plate of bread.
‘A little more, St. John-look at the avidity in her eyes.’ ‘No more at
present, sister. Try if she can speak now-ask her her name.’ I felt I
could speak, and I answered-‘My name is Jane Elliott.’ Anxious as
ever to avoid discovery, I had before resolved to assume an alias.
‘And where do you live? Where are your friends?’ I was silent.

With the iPhone 3G launch out of the way, it's time to turn to what appears to be the next big thing on Apple's road map for the year: new notebooks.
The Commercial Times reported (in Chinese, but translated by Digitimes) that Apple has increased its orders of printed-circuit boards for notebooks by 20 percent, compared to last quarter.
, but that's a stronger boost than would be expected from the usual seasonal patterns, and it's unlikely that Apple would be planning for that kind of boost unless it planned to trot out new hardware this quarter.
There are a few signs that Apple is about ready for new notebooks. Intel has AppleInsider reported earlier this month that a redesign was imminent, after confirming that a supposed image of new MacBook posted on a message board was genuine., albeit a little late.
Also, Apple values the back-to-school shopping season more than just about any other PC company. Last year, it unveiled new iMacs in early August, just before the rush back to college. Given that the MacBook design is aging, the time seems about right for Apple to bring the aluminum casing on the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air to the MacBook line.

LITTLE ROCK — Legislative leaders on Monday unveiled a $5.5 billion proposed budget for the next fiscal year that includes funding boosts for public schools, prisons, children and family services, computer-science education and early childhood education.
The plan mostly aligns with the budget proposal Gov. Asa Hutchinson released late last year.
The proposal also includes increases in reimbursements to county jails for housing state prisoners. Libraries and senior centers would receive funding increases to replace cuts of $1 million each that the Legislature approved in 2015.
Nearly $16 million would go into the state’s Rainy Day Fund under the proposal.
“This is a good budget and one that we can go home and be proud of,” House Speaker Jeremy Gillam, R-Judsonia, said Monday.
Sen. Larry Teague, D-Nashville, co-chairman of the Joint Budget Committee, said the state appears to be on track to end the current fiscal year at or above revenue projections.
“Our people and their people still think by June 30 we’re OK,” he said.
Revenues in the fiscal year that begins July 1 are expected to be “tight,” with little surplus remaining after every budgeted item is funded, he said.
The process of approving the budget takes a minimum of six days, which means the Legislature could send the budget bill to the governor next Monday. The session would then go into recess until formal adjournment, which is scheduled for May 5 at the latest.

Hagerstown's City Council has voted to sell four city-owned Public Square properties in the western Maryland city to developer Expo Holdings LLC. for $240,000, the Hagerstown Herald-Mail reported.
Mayor David S. Gysberts said the city's goal in "disposing" of the property is not only to make the largest profit possible but to create "an enhanced value through the kind of agreement we have with a purchaser who shares the vision for what we want in downtown Hagerstown."

Early Monday morning, October 23rd, a dense “super fog,” a rare weather condition created by the mix of smoke and fog, resulted in a tragic pileup involving 158 vehicles, including three 18-wheelers. The catastrophic event occurred on Interstate 55 in St. John the Baptist Parish and claimed seven lives and injured over 25 individuals.
If you or a family member were injured in a super fog vehicle accident in Louisiana, you have rights and options for seeking compensation. This devastating event may have been beyond your control, but taking informed steps toward recovery is not. Contact a Lafayette car accident lawyer for a free consultation.
Assessing Your Legal Options After the I-55 Super Fog Incident
The chaos and confusion following the multi-vehicle pileup could leave anyone feeling overwhelmed. Assessing your legal options will help ensure you receive justice and compensation for your injuries.
Remember, Louisiana legal statutes are in place to protect victims of unforeseen and tragic roadway disasters.
Gather Accident-Related Documentation
Before proceeding with legal action, compile documentation related to the multi-car crash, including:
- Medical records: Collect and store all medical reports, bills, and receipts associated with your treatment. These documents serve as evidence of the injuries you sustained and the medical expenses incurred.
- Witness testimonies: Obtain written statements and contact details from witnesses. These can corroborate your account of the incident and provide additional perspectives on the crash.
- Insurance correspondence: Keep a detailed record of all your interactions with insurance companies, including dates, times, and summaries of conversations. This can be crucial in case of disputes.
Seek Legal Consultation
Next, choose the right attorney to help navigate the aftermath of the super fog crash:
- Expertise in weather-related accidents: Search for a lawyer who specializes in cases involving weather-related accidents. Their expertise can be pivotal in understanding the nuances of your case.
- Case assessment: Allow your attorney to review the details of your accident thoroughly. They can provide a roadmap of the legal process ahead and outline the potential for compensation.
Take Strategic Legal Actions
Your attorney will be instrumental in guiding you through the necessary legal steps:
- Insurance negotiations: Your lawyer can handle negotiations with insurance companies, aiming to secure a fair settlement for damages and injuries without the need for court intervention.
- Legal filing: If negotiations do not yield a satisfactory outcome, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit. They will manage the preparation and submission of all legal documents on your behalf.

Understanding Super Fog: Causes and Road Safety Risks
Super fog is a hazardous weather phenomenon, particularly for motorists. According to the National Weather Service, it forms following a mix of smoke and moisture from smoldering vegetation that combines with cooler, humid air.
This blend creates a dense fog with visibility often reduced to less than 10 feet. It typically occurs under light wind conditions and tends to settle in low-lying areas.
On roadways, especially highways, super fog can be extremely dangerous, leading to reduced reaction times and visibility for drivers.
Frequency and Impact of Super Fog in Louisiana Weather Patterns
Super fog in Louisiana is not a daily phenomenon; however, certain conditions can increase its frequency.
According to research and modeling by the National Weather Service, various types of fog occur in Louisiana with some regularity, particularly between October and April.
While specific statistics on the frequency of super fog events are not provided, the U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that state-wide drought conditions, which lead to marsh fires, have been causing a continuation of super fog events on Louisiana highways during peak commute times.

Safely Navigating Alternate Routes Following the Louisiana I-55 Closure
Alternate routes should be considered for travel until the I-55 bridge near Manchac reopens. Drivers are advised to allow for extra travel time due to potential congestion on these alternate paths:
- Louisiana Highway 51: This route runs parallel to I-55 and can be used as a detour for southbound traffic diverted at Frontage Road.
- Causeway Bridge: Available for both northbound and southbound commuters, this bridge offers a passage to and from the Northshore.
- I-12 to the Twin Span at Slidell: This detour provides a route to bypass the closed section of I-55.
Risks and Legal Support for Accidents on Detour Routes
In addition to personal injuries caused by the super fog incident, accidents can also happen on road closure detours due to various factors. This is especially true when these roads experience an unexpected increase in traffic volume.
If you or a loved one was injured in a car or truck accident on one of these alternate routes, contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Common causes of accidents on super fog alternate routes include:
- Increased traffic density: More vehicles on the road can lead to congestion and erratic driving behavior.
- Unfamiliar roadways: Drivers may not be accustomed to the alternate route’s traffic patterns and road conditions.
- Speeding: With the urgency to reach destinations, some drivers may exceed speed limits or drive too fast for conditions.
- Aggressive driving: Frustration from detours and delays can lead to road rage and aggressive maneuvers.
- Distracted driving: Drivers using navigation devices to follow detour routes may become distracted.
- Poor road conditions: Alternate routes might not be designed for heavy traffic or could be in poorer condition than main roads.
Drivers need to remain vigilant, patient, and courteous when navigating through alternate routes to minimize the risk of accidents.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.Client
The Role of Personal Injury Lawyers in Super Fog Accidents
Personal injury lawyers play a critical role in super fog accident cases. They provide legal representation to those injured due to another party’s negligence during such low-visibility events.
When you sign on with our firm, your lawyer will investigate your accident, gather evidence, navigate your insurance claim, and advocate for fair compensation on your behalf.
Our attorneys are skilled in interpreting weather-related factors as part of liability assessments. They can be instrumental in ensuring you receive financial support for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from the accident.
Your attorney will also guide you through legal system complexities, including meeting crucial deadlines like the statute of limitations for filing a claim.
File Your Claim in a Timely Manner
In Louisiana, the statute of limitations sets a time limit on how long you have to file a lawsuit after an accident or injury.
For most personal injury cases, including car accidents, you have one year from the date of the incident to bring a claim (La. Civ. Code art. 3492).
Missing this deadline typically means your legal claim will be dismissed, and you’ll lose your right to compensation. It’s important to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within Louisiana’s legal time frame.
They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.Client

After years of planning and nearly 15 months of construction, an exact (and operable) replica of the first all-metal passenger aircraft—the Junkers F13—took center stage at the world's largest air show. The F13 is credited with the original inspiration for the iconic design of Rimowa: the luggage with the grooves.
With press flown in from all over the world, the reveal of the brand-new F13 came amid a gala celebration housed inside an aircraft hangar, elegantly transformed into the height of 1920s luxury. International supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio and Johannes Huebl led a choreographed fashion show, complete with a performance by Norah Jones.
Following the celebration, the F13 was moved to the fairgrounds for public display.
Projected onto a nearly 100-ft wraparound screen, the launch film—created by our friends atThe Mill+andPUK—ushered in the dramatic unveiling of the much-anticipated reborn F13.

By a 2 to 1 margin, Americans prefer to be empowered to take control of their online data and privacy instead of having the government adopt new rules for Internet providers, according to a new Protect Internet Freedom (PIF) survey conducted by Morning Consult. The PIF national survey of 2,040 registered voters was conducted by Morning Consult April 8-11. Among the key findings:
- Americans feel Google tops the NSA in tracking them online – The survey breaks down where Americans feel their online privacy is most at risk with 25% of respondents believing Google tracks the online behavior of Internet users the most, followed by the NSA (23%) and Facebook (16%).
- Consumers do not trust online companies with their private information – 54% of respondents said they have little to no confidence that their online information is kept secure by online search and social media companies. For comparison, 59% are confident banks keep their online information secure and 51% feel the same way about their ISP.
- New FCC privacy rules won’t protect Internet users – With the FCC excluding companies like Google, Facebook and other content providers from following their proposed privacy regulations, only 32% of respondents believe the FCC’s new rules will actually improve their online privacy.
- “Do Not Track” opt-out is better – By a 2 to 1 margin, respondents agree that empowering Internet users to take control of their own data through an easy opt-out method, similar to Do Not Call, is better for privacy protection than selective government regulation.
“These findings should be a clear message to lawmakers and regulators: Americans may be concerned about their online privacy but government regulation that handpicks the Obama Administration’s biggest corporate supporters for special exemptions while regulating everyone else is the type of cronyism that Americans find appalling,” said PIF National Director Drew Johnson. “Instead, the individual should have the ability to universally opt-in or opt-out of the pervasive tracking imposed by the government and its favored corporate partners as they wish.”

Here we are, one week out from the biggest election of the century, and we have a HUGE hurricane that has wreaked havoc in the northeast.
Immediately, on the morning after the storm hit the Northeast, Romney suspends his campaigning and starts to hold food drives for the people that need help while Obama is all talk, telling the people he will break the Government if necessary, to provide them help.
We have reports of the people of the South getting out of their homes and helping each other recover from the storm, providing shelter and meals to those who cannot help themselves. http://www.redcrosswv.org/detalle_noticias.asp?id=12425&IdCapitulo=gg76au49a5
While in the North we see that people are too lazy to walk across a bridge to get to work or even to go to the other side of town to take a bath and get food. In NJ the Police have blocked off sections of towns, not even allowing those who had evacuated to return to their homes, telling them they are protecting them. I say this is a Nanny state effort and typical of what we would expect from a police state. Get out and help yourselves! At least show some effort!
We also have reports of the UN sending “Observers” to observe our US elections, looking for civil rights violations. So far, two states (TX and OH) have told those observers they will be arrested if they come within the limits of the polls. Good for them! The last thing we need to do is turn over our elections to the UN.
I am still in hopes that this election is a landslide for Romney. While he isn’t my first choice for a President, I am still pulling for his election and will keep him under fire if he is elected to make sure he holds steady to his election promises.

The Law Ministry on Thursday received a petition seeking another extended suspension of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s jail term sent by the Homer Ministry.
“We have received a file from the Home Ministry regarding the extension of Khaleda Zia’s conditional release. We’ll send it back to the Home Ministry with our recommendations,” Law Minister Anisul Huq told UNB on Thursday.
Replying to a question whether the BNP chief will be allowed to go abroad this time, the minister said, he still did not see the file. “But I can say that the previous conditions will remain in our recommendations.”
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s younger brother Shamim Eskandar submitted a fresh application recently to the Home Ministry seeking extension of her release period.
In the application, he asked to relax the conditions of her release and allow taking her abroad for treatment.
The government extended Khaleda’s conditional release in the two corruption cases several times.
The former prime minister was sent to Old Dhaka Central Jail after she was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment by a special court in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8, 2018.
She was convicted in a second corruption case later.
The 77-year-old BNP chief has been staying at her Gulshan residence since her release. A special team of her personal physicians has been overseeing her treatment.

Which pasture would you like to graze?
Care and Establishment of Pasture
It is important to establish and maintain a strong stand of forages regardless of the grazing patterns. Pastures with poor forage stands are more susceptible to erosion, livestock damage, or weed invasion. A thick, healthy pasture is not only pleasing to the eye, it also allows livestock to more efficiently and utilize the forage. For more information follow the link above this paragraph.
Rotational Stocking System
Grazing methods are also very important to maintain a productive pasture and keep average daily gains up on livestock. For information on developing and maintaining rotational stocking systems, as well as tours of established rotational stocking systems, please follow the link above this paragraph.

Car battery must always be in top condition. As the only supplier of electrical energy, car batteries are essential to ensure your car has optimum performance. Statistics show that the average car battery can last for 3 to 5 years. In the meantime, perhaps you might also want to visit garagemasterblog.com if you’re looking for a reliable guide to choose the recommended car battery chargers that you can buy on the market.
Here are some tips to extend the life of your car battery:
1. Make sure all electronic equipment has been turned off before you turn off the machine.
Make sure the headlights, parking lights, interior lights, radios, car wipers, car alarms, GPS or navigation devices, music players and video devices have been turned off.
Various equipment that is allowed to live will not only drain the car battery power but also risk damaging the car’s electrical system.
2. Make sure the car battery is fully charged (already charged) if you do not start the car for a week or two.
Do not leave the car battery dry (no power is available). Heat up the car regularly even though you are not using it either to keep the battery occupied.
3. Avoid corrosion.
Corrosion or rust on the battery terminals can shorten the life of the battery.
If you do not have time to clean yourself, make sure the mechanic in your trust workshop to check and clean the battery terminal on a regular basis.
4. Check for loose cable and also check the battery holder.
The rusty battery stand is recommended to be replaced. Damaged or rusted seats potentially create unstable battery positions that will vibrate or move positions that in turn shorten the life of the battery.
Drive belts on the car also need to be checked periodically. The damaged belt will make the battery charging process imperfect.

Minor Bupleurum Combination (MBC) is a formula of seven botanicals used for Shaoyang syndrome in East Asia for more than 1800 years. This study was to investigate the potential antiallergic effects of MBC by evaluating the potential binding modes of compounds from SST to the human histamine H1 receptor. A virtual screening (VS) strategy based on the Multiple Fragment Molecular Dynamics (MFMD) method with was applied in this study to screen for potential histamine receptor antagonist constituents in MBC of the 13 selected compounds, 10-gingerol, 6-gingerol, 6-shogaol, baicalin and baicalein demonstrated the ability to bind to the histamine H1 receptor at helices III, V and VI, and thus antagonize the action of histamine. The results of this study suggest that MBC may act as a histamine receptor antagonist and deserves further investigation of its antiallergic potential. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first time MFMD/VS has been used to demonstrate the histamine receptor antagonist action of active constituents in Minor Bupleurum Combination.

Saltus Christmas giving campaign
Schoolchildren made up packages of food and gifts to help others in the run-up to Christmas.
Saltus Grammar School pupils created the gift packages, which were donated to charities.
A spokeswoman explained: “Each student contributed one non-perishable item for their classroom box.
“Parents or students could provide more if they wanted.
“The goal was to provide the charity chosen – Eliza DoLittle Society – with 21 food boxes.”
Carol Jack, a literacy programme assistant, and Kathy Pacheco, an administrative assistant in the upper primary department, spearheaded the food drive.
The generosity of pupils and their families meant that the school handed over 27 “very full” packages.
Year 6 pupils chose to deliver an extra “act of kindness” to help other people “feel special during the holidays”.
They decided to make care packages to donate to Meals on Wheels.
The spokeswoman said: “The students put a lot of thought into what should go into these boxes.
“They made a card, an ornament and then, with the generosity of their parents, donations of socks, activity books, pens, packaged cookies and candy, travel size soaps and lotions, notepads and so much more, were added.”
Rosie Doughty, a Year 5 teacher, organised upper primary school staff donations of toiletries to Teen Haven and the Loads of Love outreach project run by Christ Church, in Warwick.
Middle and senior school pupils also donated to the Eliza DoLittle Society earlier this term and some students gave cards to accompany the Meals on Wheels deliveries.
The spokeswoman said: “Thank you to everyone who contributed to these donations.
“Everyone deserves to be happy and we hope that the day they receive their special gift is that much brighter.”

I love Google Drawing. Many people do not even realize it is part of the Google Doc’s options. When I am teaching and introducing students to Google Drive and Google Docs I use Google Draw as my first activity. I create a template in Google Draw for a name sign. I then have students make a copy and share it with me.
First thing the name plate activity does for me is helps me to learn my students names. I have them put their name sign up on their desk. The second thing it does it right off the bat shows the students the magic of Google Docs. They simply type their name and then the next day I show up with their sign printed. Effortless submission, helps to win them over!
Create a Template
Click Here to access my template. You can use File->Make a Copy to make your own copy. Edit the template to have your class name at the top. You can also customize the picture.
Make sure you click on the blue share button and change the sharing to “anyone with the link can view.” Share the link with students.
Name it and Share it
When using Google Docs I always teach that the first thing you do is “Name it and Share it” before you type a single thing. Have the students click on the title and rename it with your class naming nomenclature.
Students should then click on the blue share button and type in your email address. I overly emphasize to have them UNCHECK the notify via email checkbox. As a high school and college instructor I have a lot of students, my inbox does not need to explode over an assignment I am expecting.
Type in Your Name
A personal pet peeve of mine is when I see people using the delete key. I try to take this opportunity to teach students they can double click on a word to highlight the word or triple click to highlight the phrase. I try to get them to triple click on “Participant Name Here” and to NOT hit the delete key, but instead to just start typing. Anyway, they should type their name on both sides of the name sign.
Just to really freak them out, I tell them to next use Control W. (Command W on a Mac). Learning keyboard shortcuts is a big step towards making students computer ninjas so any chance I get to teach them a shortcut I will.
Pull Up Google Drive
I then pull up my Google Drive. Up in the search box at the top is the ability to filter Google Drive. I choose to filter for Google Drawings that are NOT owned by me. I then type the “After:yyyy-mm-dd.” And this should show me all of my students drawings. Note that the AFTER is not inclusive. So if students made their drawings on the 20th you would want drawings after the 19th.
I want students to see that I have their drawings even though they did not print it out or do anything special to share it with me. I think the visual of them seeing everyones name sign in my Google Drive is pretty magical.
I wish there was an option to print multiple things at once, but there is not. Here is my workflow.
I filter all of the drawings as I did above. I drag them into a folder I created called name signs.
I click on the star so I know I printed it.
I click on the title of the document to open it.
I use Control P to print.
I push enter.
I use Control W to close the drawing.
I also take the time if a student did not rename the document to go to File->Email Collaborators and remind the student how to name documents for my class.
The next day I come in with a big armful of name signs.

Strange Nature is a 2018 thriller written and directed by James Ojala. The film stars Lisa Sheridan as Kim Sweet, a former pop star who returns to her home town to take care of her sick father. Jonah Beres plays Brody Sweet, Kim’s son and Bruce Bohne plays Chuck Sweet, her father. Strange Nature is strange, but also engaging.
The film’s plot revolves around Kim(Sheridan) returning home with her son to take care of her father, who has cancer. While getting reacquainted with her town she finds multiple frogs with deformities. It soon turns into an epidemic of deformed animals and deformed children. Kim tries to find out what is happening as the town begins to panic and blame a deformed local, Joseph(played by David Mattey) and his deformed daughter, Michelle(played by Chalet Lizette Brannan).
The film is a mix of thriller and monster movie and does it in a really fun way. The film jumps between an unseen monster attacking people in the woods and Kim’s story of trying to find the cause of the abnormalities. The film does take some basic tropes and turns them around. A lot of the problems seem like they are caused by pollution, but as we find out as the film goes on it isn’t that simple. The problem is pesticides, but from pesticides that are overly organic cause algae which causes parasites. Twists like that help the movie stand out from generic monster film. The film claims to be based on a true story and there was a point when a lot of deformed frogs were found, but besides that there isn’t much of a connection. The actual story found no connection between deformed frogs and pesticides and there were no monsters running around in the woods or deformed children born.
The acting for the most part in the film is solid. There are some familiar faces sprinkled through out who do a good job. Stephen Tobolowsky plays Mayor Paulson and plays the part to perfection. He comes across as reasonable, but still in the wrong due to his lack of action. Carlos Alazraqui plays Greg, the local bar owner and nice guy with bad friends. One of the more recognizable faces would be John Hennigan who plays Sam, an angry man who blames the deformed Joseph for the town’s troubles. Hennigan is more widely know as John Morrison, Johnny Mundo or Johnny Impact a professional wrestler. He actually does a really good job and plays the role well. The rest of the cast does a good to great job with few weak performances. Lisa Sheridan carries a bulk of the film and does a great job especially with Beres and Bohne. The family aspect is portrayed great with a fun but sometimes misunderstood family dynamic.
The special effects are well done for the most part. Once or twice in the film the special effect falter, but not for long. The deformed animals and babies were extremely well done. The actual monster that hunted in the woods was less impressive, but didn’t have much screen time to compensate for that. The special effects for Michelle(Brannan) were well done and looked very realistic. Joseph(Mattey)’s on the other hand didn’t hold up as well especially when they are in scenes together. The best special effects are at the very end with an eyeball in a child’s back. The effects used when looking through the monster’s eyes are a real weak spot. Instead of looking primal or bestial it is difficult to watch and looks saturated. It is used sparingly but still noticeable.
Some Extra Thoughts: The furry joke feels out of place. The little mention of Brody’s father is weird, they never say if he is dead and never say where it is. The scenes with the dog are very disturbing, especially the puppy scene.
Overall the audio is good. No missed dialogue due to bad sound quality or bad sound effects. The opening song, Don’t Make Me Go by Off With Their Heads was good and sounded great, but it is the only song really used in the film. The sound effects used for the deformed animals are very, very good and hard to listen to because of it. They are almost to good.
Strange Nature isn’t the average monster movie and focuses more on the characters and their town. It isn’t a traditional thriller, but it has the right elements there. The twists and turns the story take help make it feel different than other ones like it. It is a solid watch with an intriguing little story, but also good characters.

Authorities are bracing for three days of sweltering heat with an extreme fire danger warning issued for numerous regions, total fire bans in force and some schools closed.
Hot and dry conditions are predicted on Monday all along the NSW coast and the Central West with parts of the state tipped to experience severe conditions until Wednesday.
A widespread heatwave warning has been issued, with temperatures tipped to exceed 40C in some areas and large parts of the state are under total fire bans.
The heatwave will also impact parts of Queensland and Western Australia.
The NSW Department of Education has closed 34 schools in areas with an elevated bushfire risk across the central ranges, where extreme fire danger ratings have been declared.
The temperature in Sydney is predicted to soar to 38C on Monday.
It will drop slightly 34C on Tuesday, with temperatures remaining in the high 20s for the rest of the week and some possible showers on Saturday.
The country’s eastern coast is bracing for this summer’s most intense heatwave so far. Picture: Windy.com
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast extreme fire danger for the Greater Hunter, Central Ranges and Lower Central West Plains.
Those areas can expect hot and dry conditions combined with fresh and gusty northwesterly winds.
‘Isolated high-based thunderstorms are possible during the early morning about the southern and central ranges, then developing in the afternoon across the northeastern ranges,’ the bureau said.
‘Little to no rainfall is expected with any thunderstorm activity.’
The NSW Rural Fire Service says extreme fire danger stretches across much of the state.
A total fire ban is in effect for the Greater Hunter, Northern Slopes, North Western, Upper and Lower Central West Plains, Central Ranges and Southern Ranges zones.
Early Monday morning, 35 fires were already burning across the state, including four not contained.
Western NSW is the biggest concern for authorities.
Certainly in western NSW elevated in that grass lapped area. You think before the 2019/20 fires there was nothing out there because
it was a drought and just dust. Now there is grass more than a metre tall and ready to burn and these fires move incredibly quick. The the bush areas that weren’t burnt in that 2019/20 area are ready to burn as well. A couple of years since people have had this level of fire
threat. Don’t be complacent and pay attention. The risk is absolutely there.
Elsewhere across the country, parts of Tasmania could see snow.
Heavy rains in the Top End continue to bring flooding risks and have blocked off a key transport route to Western Australia.
Damaging winds will batter western Victoria and southeast South Australia later on Sunday.
Eastern Victoria and southeast New South Wales could see severe thunderstorms bringing large hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding.
Severe thunderstorms could also threaten Tasmania on Sunday evening, bringing heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding, though they are expected to clear Monday morning.
Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Sarah Scully said hot conditions on the eastern coast are due to shifting hot northerly winds moving ahead of a cold front.
‘The heat is going to be peaking across much of Victoria on Sunday with a cold front on its way, and that’s forecast to move through Adelaide in the mid afternoon and Melbourne on Sunday evening,’ she said.
‘For much of NSW on Monday through to Wednesday it will be hot and windy, elevating fire dangers particularly about the NSW Ranges and Western Slopes.’
‘We’re expecting low intensity heatwave conditions for parts of eastern NSW … while southeastern Australia will have a series of cold fronts with temperatures dropping well below average,’ Ms Scully said.
‘There’s even a chance of snow about elevated parts of Tasmania on Wednesday.’
Heavy rains will continue to batter the Top End, courtesy of a monsoon trough dipping down over Cape York Peninsula over Queensland.
‘That’s drawing in moisture over Northern Australia at the moment, bringing increased storm activity,’ Ms Scully said.
Sydneysiders, such as the Bondi Beach swimmer, will be looking to cool off this week with the temperatures set to soar
Some of the higher areas in Tasmania such as Mt Wellington (pictured) could be seeing snow
‘A number of flood warnings and watches have been issued across northern parts of the country.
‘There’s a number of impacts on the community, last week very heavy rainfalls across the Top End resulted in a number of communities being evacuated – it’s actually eased, however that large body of water that created those flooding conditions last week is moving downstream.
‘This has caused flooding over the Victoria River crossing, the main route for transport between the NT and WA, and it’s expected to remain impassable until Thursday.’
Western Australia has had some heatwave relief, with some very isolated patches of low intensity heatwave conditions to occur over the next week.
Sydney will sweat through maximum temperatures of 36C on Monday and 34C on Tuesday, with weather remaining in the high 20s for the rest of the week and some possible showers on Saturday.
Melbourne can expect a cool week after its steamy weekend, with maximum temperatures ranging from 17C to 24C and possible showers on Wednesday.
Brisbane is set to swelter through a week of hot temperatures with the mercury poised to tip over 30C every day, peaking at 34C on Wednesday and Thursday. It will be partly cloudy towards the end of the week with showers expected on Friday and Saturday.

Psyche – a beautiful girl, whom Eros
fell in love with and married. He had to hide her from his mother Aphrodite,
who was jealous of and vindictive to beautiful women. Jealousy, vindictiveness,

end of the story, however, is happy – Zeus
granted Eros his permission to marry the mortal Psyche, and Psyche was
reconciled with Aphrodite.

Wordsworth the Mouse Teaches Keiki About Haiku
A wise mouse encourages kids to express themselves and explore a new medium in this new book by an acclaimed author.
Hawai‘i Island-born author Frances H. Kakugawa came out with the fifth installment of the award-winning children’s series about Wordsmith, a little Hawaiian mouse who’s deemed different because he expresses himself through poetry. In Wordsworth’s latest adventure, Wordsworth the Haiku Teacher, Kakugawa is his pen pal, offering him the confidence to teach his friends this traditional art.
“Capture an image so others can see and feel and taste it, too,” says Wordsworth to encourage his new students to try their hand at the simple structure of haiku poetry (three lines with five, seven then five syllables each).
As a haiku teacher, Wordsworth is able to make the art of it engaging. Therefore, keiki reading along will be introduced to writing concepts like simile, metaphor and personification in easy-to-understand terms. The 32-page book is beautifully illustrated by Scott Goto.

A high risk of rip currents continues on Tuesday, October 3, for all Outer Banks beaches from Buxton north, per an update from the National Weather Service. A moderate risk of rip currents is in effect for Hatteras Island beaches south of Frisco, and Ocracoke Island.
A high risk of rip currents means that the surf zone is dangerous for all levels of swimmers, and beachgoers should stay out of the water.
The public should check surf and swimming conditions before heading to the beach, and the daily beach forecast at www.weather.gov/beach/mhx includes rip current risk levels, and information about other hazards along the shoreline. In addition, the public can visit Dare County’s Love The Beach, Respect The Ocean website for current risks and additional info about rip current safety.
For more information on the local forecast, visit www.weather.gov/mhx for general weather information, or the National Weather Service office in Newport / Morehead City’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/NWSMoreheadCity/.

I really struggled for words on this one.
The recurring theme (which resides in the title) seemed too anti-religion, even for me, but I couldn't escape it. I chose to go with it and hope that this image finds your hearts and minds open to its message. Which is about finding faith that will endure when the buildings, alters, and symbols constructed by man fail.

Greening our Future and Environmental Values: An Investigation of Perception, Attitudes and Awareness of Environmental issues in Zambia
The visibility of environmental problems and the increasing awareness of associated consequences have made environmental issues salient in Zambia. The purpose of this study was to investigate correlations between the social and psychological influences affecting college students in Zambia, and the behaviours perceived by them to be appropriately environmentally friendly. The underlying social and psychological factors that would determine individuals' attitudinal responses toward appropriate environmental behaviour were assessed. The study attempted to measure behavioural tendencies towards environmental conservation. Behaviour involving energy and water conservation (EW) was consistently rated as the most important, and appropriate category of environmental behaviour, whereas social and political action (SP) was viewed as the least favourable behaviour according to the respondents in Zambia. The respondents who were older in the graduate level of the study and had frequently contact with environmental education activities and courses were more likely to hold positive behavioural tendencies toward environmental conservation in general.

SIGNS OF THE SEASON
The Observer/PIERRE LaBOSSIERE
It's that strange time of year when it's hard to tell if it's still winter or if spring has arrived. Spring brings the arrival of baseball, but as these La Grande fans can attest to, it wasn't spring-like weather at Optimist Field Thursday. The game was played in off-and-on snow flurries with fans finding whatever blankets and jackets they could round up to try and stay warm. Shaun Cederholm here slaps a ball into play.

Black Light marks a new musical venture for singer-songwriter Sam Genders, formerly of Tunng. It’s his first album in a new guise as Diagrams, dubbed a “solo project of sorts” but also one embracing the talents of numerous collaborators, from singer and trombonist Hannah Peel to drummers Matt McKenzie and Tom Marsh.
While not without moments of acoustic simplicity – most apparent in the lilting and melodic Peninsula – there’s little to be found here of Tunng’s signature brand of folk. Instead the album journeys more boldly into the realms of electronic experimentation, especially in its title track, and a kind of pop-rock fusion most in evidence in Appetite.
It’s a smooth transition, and smooth is indeed an apt word for the album as a whole. Though it is laid-back and doesn’t announce itself too loudly, it compels with its long immersive intros and lyrics presenting weirdly imaginative ideas: “We could be animals” for one. Then, of course, there are the vocals, which are as well rendered as you’d expect from Genders and a real driving force.

One common thing that we all have heard about since childhood is how important it is to add nuts to our diets. How they improve the memory and help grow muscle, but still we often fail to incorporate them in our diets and neglect them. As there are so many kinds of nuts available, it is easy to get confused. In this article we have brought to you an easy fix to this very issue.
Nutrition Antioxidant Mix is a readily available mixture of various essential nuts like almonds, cashews, pecans, dried blueberries. It also contains a variety of fruits, and is mixed a pinch of sea salt, which gives it a unique flavor, unlike any you have had before.
They have properly made a blend of these nuts and berries to provide angood source of the antioxidant Vitamin E, which I personally think is excellent, because it can help you feel, well, excellent.
In this fast-paced world where time is of utmost importance having something like this will make your life a lot easier.
And not consuming your nuts and fruits will only add to our problems. I urge you to resort to means like Nutrition Antioxidant Mix.
It is readily available in stores and online. Just get a pack for yourself and munch on some delicious nuts and gain some healthy gains.
Health effects of Nutrition Antioxidant Mix:
Health benefits of salads is one topic everyone is aware about, but what about items like nuts and berries, which are often neglected. But I can assure you that having a portion of it every day will transform your life drastically!
Nuts like almonds, cashews, pecans, dried blueberries, might seem small but can have a huge impact on our health are consumed regularly.
We are aware about the low calorie in almonds – no salt, and how much healthy they are! The health benefits of almonds include lower blood sugar levels, reduced blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels.
Almonds are high in fat, but it is good fat or unsaturated fat. This type of fat does not increase the risk of cholesterol problems.
Research tells us that consuming almonds may increase vitamin E levels in the plasma and red blood cells and lower overall cholesterol levels.
Consuming nuts and seeds, may help improve fat levels in the blood. This can benefit the overall health of your heart.
Scientists have found that almonds significantly increased the levels of antioxidants in the blood, reduce blood pressure and improves blood flow.
Cashew contain relatively high levels of vitamin E. Vitamin E contains antioxidants, such as tocopherol. One ounce of plain cashew provides 7.27(mg) of vitamin E, which is around half a person’s daily requirement. Vitamin E and other antioxidants help prevent oxidative damage in the body.
This damage can occur when too many free radicals accumulate in your body. A recent study looked at cashewconsumption and cancer risk. The experts identified a two to three time’s lower risk of breast cancer among individuals who consumed higher quantities of peanuts, walnuts, and cashewcompared with those who did not.
As a whole if you want to live a long and healthy life, go ahead and treat yourself to some delicious Nutrition Antioxidant Mixtoday! You can also try out Nutrition Power Squares.

Les Woodward is standing as a Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition candidate for Gowerton Ward in the May 2012 Swansea council elections. Les is the national trade union convener for Remploy and a Socialist Party member.
I have always lived in Gowerton and over the 58 years of my life I have seen many changes in the village, some for the better, some for the worse. But the people of Gowerton are set just like the rest of the population of the UK to face the most vindictive attack on their livelihoods, their services, and their community, for generations, arguably since the start of the industrial revolution.
As the Government made up of millionaires and bankers friends bail out their comrades in the European Central Bank through the IMF by lending Billions of pounds, the austerity measures imposed on the working class who make up 99% of the population will be made to pay and pay dearly, for the greed of the bankers who caused the crisis in the beginning.
I believe that this is wrong! What I also believe is totally wrong, is the fact that the 1% of the population who are made up of some of the richest people on the planet are getting richer by the day because of this crisis and the way Osborne and his Eton toff pals are running the country.
There is an alternative to the cuts agenda and the austerity programme that is in place and it is quite simple, close every loophole for individuals to avoid paying tax, vigorously chase down anyone who evades paying tax, change the laws so that Companies such as Amazon pay they correct amount of tax in the UK which they avoid at the moment by being registered in Switzerland and tax the rich who can afford it, at a more realistic level.
If elected I will pledge my heart and soul to fight against all cuts in public spending in Swansea. I will argue for the Council to set a needs budget on behalf of the people of Swansea and argue that any shortfall must be paid for through the coffers of Central Government. The good people of Gowerton and Swansea must not be penalised with loss of jobs and services in order to pay for the miss management of the financial institutes and the greed of the bankers.
NO TO CUTS, NO TO PRIVATISATION, NO TO THE CLOSURE OF REMPLOY!
VOTE TUSC ON MAY 3RD.

From time to time, I’ve written here about the importance of having and building a good reputation in the community where one works. Whether one is in a small town or in the capital city, having a good reputation will bring opportunities that would be otherwise impossible. In our work, two things happened this week that, hopefully, are signs that the work we’ve done to build a reputation is paying off.
Becoming known as capable
The first thing that happened was completely unexpected, and is not something we normally go out looking for. A student from the local law school’s student organization contacted us, asking if we would be interested in teaching an English class for law students, organized completely by them. They have a need for someone who can come and help them learn some legal terms, but they don’t have the means to pay a professor or certified instructor, and so they turned to us, on the basis of the classes we have already been offering.
What an opportunity — one that we would never have gotten, had we not first done the work of putting on English classes for students in the first place. In our effort to provide a service to students, and because we sought to do a decent job, we have become known as a group capable of providing that service.
Becoming known as compassionate
The second thing that happened takes us in a different direction, and is no less special. After we announced our efforts to collect clothes ahead of Christmas, I was contacted by a student from a nearby town, asking about it. She said she had read about it in the newspaper.
Now, this still has me a little bit confused, but apparently, someone who was involved in one of our events works for the local newspaper. I was able to find the paragraph they wrote — it was pulled directly from our group’s Facebook page, nearly word for word.
What do we want to be known for?
I think there is so much to learn here. Here are just a couple of things
- Compassion and competence are two things that are contagious — when people see them, they just want more! I would not say we have been big promoters of ourselves, but somehow news has managed to get out, without our knowledge. Fortunately, we have been serving people well in our community, and people have begun to ask us to do more.
- You are always building something with your time. At times it has been impossible to see the pieces coming together, but over the past year and a half we have managed to be noticed for doing some positive things. The reputation, up to now, was built whether we noticed or not — and now has provided some things we can be happy about.
What now? We thank God, and we trust him to provide us with the time and skills to do these things he has entrusted to us.

Article: Felline, S., et al. (2014). “Can a marine pest reduce the nutritional value of Mediterranean fish flesh?” Marine Biology: 1-9.
Even if you aren’t the kind of person who likes fish, you’ve probably heard of the benefits of eating fish; salmon is considered a brain food, right? It’s true; fish meat contains important compounds for human nutrition as well as cellular structure and function. Fatty acids found in fish meat can help prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes. These compounds also play a role in supplying energy for growth and creating cellular membranes. Seafood is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine as this region is home to a large number of fish species. However, this region is also home to many invasive species, some of which may be affecting the quality of the seafood reaching the consumer.
Caulerpa racemosa (Fig 1) is a green algae that invaded the Mediterranean in the early 1990s. Like many invasive species, C. racemosa began to outcompete local algal species and eel grass and spread like wildfire. This species has been shown to negatively effect food webs and communities.
Due to its low nutritional value and toxic compounds, marine animals don’t usually consume it. But as C. racemosa began to take over, some fish species switched from being omnivorous (consuming a mix of plant, algal, and animal tissue) to a diet comprised mostly of C. racemosa. This was observed in the native fish Diplodus sargus, or white sea bream (Fig 2, Fig 3), an important species in Mediterranean fisheries. This was most likely done out of necessity as this seaweed is often the only thing around to eat. C. racemosa seems to function as a food source for the white sea bream, it even contains fatty acids, but it lacks the ones important in human nutrition. Therefore, if fish are consuming this alga at high rates, they are likely not gaining important fatty acids. This could affect the overall health of the fish but also the nutritional value to humans.
Researchers set out to determine how a C. racemosa heavy diet impacts the fatty acid composition, thus nutritional value, of the white sea bream.
C. racemosa is an ephemeral species, it blooms in the late summer through the fall and declines in the winter and spring. Knowing this, researchers decided to sample for white sea bream from 3 locations in the Mediterranean and during 2 seasons. The three sites were all very similar in structure but two of them contained high densities of C. racemosa, while the third site had significantly lower density of the invasive alga. They sampled in October, during peak bloom, and in June, prior to the summer bloom. Fish were caught by spearing and immediately preserved. Fish tissue was analyzed in the lab for the concentrations of different types of fatty acids and the presence of caulerpin, a molecule found in C. racemosa.
Overall, researchers found significant differences in poly-unsaturated fatty acid concentrations in fish tissue based on when the fish were caught, where they were caught, and the level of caulerpin in their tissue. Researchers found lower concentrations when fish had high concentrations of caulerpin, when fish were located in areas of higher C. racemosa density, and when the C. racemosa had bloomed (Fig 4). These results indicate that when the invasive seaweed is relied on as a food source, fish lose these important fatty acids. Researchers further determined that fish eating mostly C. racemosa contained smaller proportions of the nutritionally valuable poly-unsaturated fatty acids.
The invasion of C. racemosa appears to have had a larger effect on Mediterranean ecosystems and function than originally thought. Fish that began to consume more of this invader have shown a decline in important fatty acids. Fish that have a mixed diet are able to obtain natural levels of these molecules and can pass the nutritional value along to a human consumer. But when fish consume mostly a diet of C. racemosa they lose that nutritional value. However, during the seasonal decline of C. racemosa, fish diet becomes broader and more balanced. This aspect will be increasingly important as the world’s oceans are warming. Warmer waters could lead to the year-round persistence of algal species like C. racemosa and fish will no longer find temporal refuge from poor diet.
Humans continue to introduce species around the globe, whether intentionally or unintentionally. It is often hard to relate the impact of invasive species to the public, but having a study like this helps. Relating invasive species to the quality of food on one’s plate is a great way of bringing attention to this global problem.

Because the original vintage portrait of this proud old man was very high quality, I was able to enlarge it quite a bit. I named "the sitter" Foster McCracken, who knows why? My husband calls him Grandpappy. I added an antique photograph of a little bird to his cane. Because this piece has a muted color scheme, it is easy to live with despite its size.

"Bill Clinton laid out the truth last night" when it comes to welfare reform, The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell told Martin Bashir on Thursday. The pair dissected Clinton's complete evisceration of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Lawrence slammed these "tricks" by the Romney campaign, saying they just "don’t work anymore."
Republicans "were moving along last week in Tampa, in a kind of uninterrupted soliloquy that was filled with lies about this sort of thing. And what’s happened now is we’ve seen what the Democratic Party, as a team, can do in responding to that sort of thing," he explained. "And there’s no more powerful responder to it than Bill Clinton, who signed that welfare bill into law and President Obama, who knows exactly how that law is operating now."
Lawrence said the former president was perfectly cast in that role given his "long history with this subject."
