Forest resource administrations in the state are carried out by the Department of Forestry in the Ministry of Environment. In the State, forests are governed centrally from the office of the governor to the Ministries of Environment and the Department of forestry. The effectiveness of a forest policy depends on the energy, drive and dedication of the National Forest Service.
In bridging the gap between policy formulation and various agents of implementation in the country, the Federal Department of Forestry shall play a leading role in forest management throughout the country.
Forest Administrative Department
This is the body responsible for implementation of forest policy and forestry issues in any country.
Through norms and legislation, financial means, an information and forest programme, forest policy is designed to promote the sustainable management of forest land resources uses.
There are different implementations of state forest administration systems in different countries.
For instance, in Europe there are different institutional structures and approaches, variation in legal rights and duties between private and public institutions, and also differences in the share of duties between national and local levels.
Challenges of Forest Administration
In many countries, forest ownership and settlement have become politically explosive, forcing many governments to introduce radical changes in the way forest resources are controlled and managed and, thus, prescribing new roles for Forest Administrations.
But many Forest Administrations have yet to fully adjust to such changes and remain sub- optimal in their functions.
It is widely recognized that forestry institutions in these countries have weak capacities to fulfill their functions.
Administration of Forest Resources
Adequacy of staff capacity and effectiveness of agencies tasked with forest administration, quality and effectiveness of information and data management systems adequacy, effectiveness and transparency of monitoring and evaluation and accessibility of results, extent to which monitoring and evaluation results are clearly incorporated into forest management planning, effectiveness of collection, sharing and redistribution of forest taxes, royalties, charges and rents and extent to which on-the-ground management of forests follows adopted policies, laws and plans.
Forest Law Enforcement
Appropriateness and consistency of application of penalties for breaches of forest laws and regulations, effectiveness of division of jurisdictional authority and responsibility for forest law enforcement, effectiveness of measures and tools to prevent forest crimes, effectiveness of incentives for officers and agencies to enforce forest laws, including investigation and prosecution, capacity of law enforcement agencies to suppress, detect and prevent forest-related crimes and illegal activities, appropriateness and effectiveness of enforcement agencies’ use of tools, instruments and information to enforce laws, capacity and willingness of the judiciary and law enforcement agencies to deal with cases of forest crime effectively, extent to which courts and arbitrators are accessible, fair, honest and independent, work in a timely manner that is are affordable; and deliver enforceable outcomes.
Role of Government
To ensure the necessary coordination and collaboration between institutions to promote a coordinated natural resources policy, conflict resolution, and spatial planning, ensure the protection of biodiversity habitats, sites of historical and cultural value, and scenery, ensure responsible attitude in forestry through its enactments and regulations, to adopt the anthropocentric approach through the provision of goods and services to the people (i.e. food security and general well-being of entire rural communities using forests to alleviate poverty.
In conclusion, forest administration is an invaluable asset for the effective sustainable management of forest resources for both present and future use. The government should strictly penalized offenders who are guilty of forest offense which would act as a deterrent to the populace.

Zola Jesus is resurrected with this distinct album.
“Conatus” is a solid release by Zola Jesus, the alter ego of the powerful sounds that emit from Nika Roza Danilova’s body. The first thing you will notice is the dark and ominous beats this chick can produce and then she’ll throw her powerful voice over the top and change the song completely. All of these songs are swirly, dark, electronic, and beautiful. Most likely not the greatest album KJHK will play this year. But it will not have a problem finding a great setting in which to be enjoyed.

Master of synthwave, James Kent aka Perturbator will be back at the Docks after a first appearance in 2019. Outside the boundaries of styles, somewhere in a little-known parallel universe between metal and electro, his sounds offer deep emotions to our souls and electric sensations to our bodies. Get ready, on his latest album Lustful Sacraments (2021), the exploration continues.
According to Wikipedia, “Noise rock is a musical genre that emerged in the 1980s. Broadly defined, it is considered an experimental offshoot of punk rock”. And according to Health? It’s not the words that matter, but the sound. A sound to describe dark times, lack of bearings, anxiety, the sound made real by the brutality of rhythms and controlled dissonance.
From a distance, the vision is more industrial than cultural. Between cables and boxes, Author & Punisher’s set-up gives off metallic sensations, between science fiction and manufacturing. But the envelope is not everything. This almost dehumanised installation creates lively sound atmospheres, accompanied by the movements of the artist, an ex-engineer with mad genius. A complete immersion in the world of Tristan Shone.

The Pentagon wants to cut the costs of putting satellites into space by creating a "space plane" that can fly into low Earth orbit and release satellites for about $5 million a launch.
Called the XS-1, the plane to be developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) would be capable of flying 10 times the speed of sound (Mach 10), and carry payloads between 3,000 and 5,000 pounds into orbit, according to documents released this week.
If developed, the plane would be capable of rushing smaller satellites into space and cutting the long lead times necessary to use conventional launchers, such as rockets. "Current space launch vehicles are very expensive, have no surge capability and must be contracted years in advance (i.e., long call up times)," DARPA records show.
"The ability to launch a payload to orbit at less than $5 million will represent approximately a 10X cost reduction compared to Minotaur IV capabilities, with potential for further reductions using scaled-up systems," the DARPA solicitation for the space plane says.
The first phase of XS-1 develop could cost $14 million, DARPA records show, with the second two phases costing up to $140 million. The goal is to have an orbital flight in 2018.
The cost of putting satellites into space is weighing heavily on the minds of Pentagon officials. Other recent military plans include recycling old satellites by attaching new, smaller equipment to them and developing drone aircraft that can be operated automatically and without human controllers. All of the efforts are part of the military's larger plan to increase the amount of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data it can collect.
STORY: Wanted: Cheap drones
The XS-1 project follows a 10-year effort to build another hypersonic vehicle, called the Falcon HTV-2. According to a 2003 DARPA plan, the Falcon was intended to be capable of taking off "from a conventional military runway and striking targets 9,000 nautical miles distant in less than two hours. It could carry a 12,000-pound payload consisting of Common Aero Vehicles (CAVs), cruise missiles, small diameter bombs or other munitions."
The Falcon made two test flights in 2010 and 2011, but DARPA said last July that it would not conduct a third and would focus its hypersonic research on other projects.

Talk over the future of Erling Haaland continues yet, despite the serious interest of some of Europe's leading clubs, Borussia Dortmund insist he is staying put.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl is the latest high profile figure to proclaim that Haaland will remain with the club next season.
The Norwegian is one of the continent's most wanted players after another spectacular season, with massive sums of cash quoted for his signature.
Yet Kehl, a legend of the club from his playing days, is confident that he will stay with Dortmund beyond this summer.
"I understand that Erling Haaland will play for Borussia Dortmund in the new season. Erling totally agrees," Kehl told Doppelpass.
"I see him every day and I can say that he completely identifies with the club."
Haaland's agent Mino Raiola has recently talked up the possibility of the striker leaving the club, but Kehl is not surprised by the comments.
"We know Mino Raiola very well, so one or two statements do not surprise us," he said.
"We are not naive and we know that we are talking about probably the most talked about strikers in the world right now.
"The speculation will not stop."

This move is proposed so that the states do not have to depend on the centre for compensation. Increasing the GST percentage will help them in raising revenue on the goods. The proposal includes moving some goods of mass consumption to 3% and the remaining ones to 8% categories. Currently, GST levies taxes in a specific four-tier percentage category. These are 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. Out of all these goods, gold and gold jewellery attract 3 per cent of tax.
Not all goods attract GST taxes. There are some goods such as unbranded and unpackaged food items that do not attract any sort of GST taxes.
There are the following propositions are proposed in the proposal which will be presented in the next meeting of the GST council. These are given below:-
States want to become self-sufficient by not asking the centre for compensation to raise their revenue. It is implied that the states do not want to depend on the centre for bridging the gap in GST collection. Over the years, the GST council has succumbed to the demands of the trade and lower GST rates. Increasing tax rates now seems like the only possible way for the GST council to raise revenue without asking the centre for compensation.

Talking Trash – Food Waste
Last night I broke my all time record of expletives uttered whilst watching a TV show. The amazing and shocking War on Waste had me saying “holy bananas” (among other words) and shaking my head in horror and disbelief at the amount of food that goes to waste here in Australia. The waste we generate as a nation is growing at twice the rate of our population, the average Aussie family throws out a staggering $3500 dollars worth of food each year. Craig Reucassel told us that the total amount of food waste generated by Australian businesses and households in a year equals 3.3 million tons, that volume would fill the MCG 6 times over. It’s a horrid thought to think that there are people going hungry while food goes to waste – it’s darn confronting and something needs to change.
I think for me one of the most mind boggling fact revealed was that up to 40% of bananas are thrown away by farmers because they don’t fit the cosmetic standards set by supermarkets. If a banana is too curvy, too straight, too long, too short, too skinny or too fat it is considered unfit for sale. Now I don’t know about you but I don’t care about the size or shape of my Banana, I just want my banana to taste like a banana, in the words of Gwen Stefani – “This Sh–t is Bananas”.
We as consumers need to tell the Supermarkets how we feel about the unrealistic aesthetic standards set for food – email them, get on the socials and show them with your shop. I don’t know about you but I love a crazy carrot, quirky quince, peculiar pear and abnormal apple. I grow tired of seeing perfectly boring straight zucchini and cucumbers in the stores, and welcome more real vegetables and fruit hitting the shelves instead of going to waste.
What do you do to cut down on food waste? We’d love to hear of ways you fight this War on Waste – please feel free to comment below.

November 13, 2022
Rest, and stillness, and taking time for yourself are all practices one must train for to get good at, just like anything else in your life. Especially when multiple billion dollar industries have an ultimate goal to leave you stressed-out, restless, and scrolling and watching and listening and....
I recommend this book, Rest is Resistance.
I too struggle with 'resting' so identify with your post this week. Every night and morning I pour myself a cup of coffee and sit by the window, watch the leaves (or snow) fall, the birds enjoy their feeders, the clouds pass overhead, the squirrels forage....etc....but find it difficult to take time to simply SIT during the day. It's something I need to practice more....being present in my life and not distracted by 'work/busyness' I'm not alone..thank you.
"Is it possible if we learned to rest better we would also become less sedentary?" I do think these things can go into a feedback loop. I never feel better either mentally or physically than when I've been on a really long and strenuous hike. When I do that, the feeling of "giving myself permission to rest" releases because I'm just tired and content and no permission is necessary. (Also, GirlTrek does an annual Stress Protest in the Colorado Rockies that I think is just the best idea ever: https://stressprotest.com)
Hi Karen coming back to your newsletter after a hiatus of a few weeks. It’s been a few weeks of no rest for me as well! Haha
During weeks like this, sometimes I think the only rest I’m going to get ￼is via reflection. Taking a bit of time out from the stream of things and simply observing from a little far away, gives my mind some rest.
I hope your body finds the rest it needs.
Lots of love.
"tried searching for poems about rest - and my search results were filled with poems about death" wow that's really quite something; an insight that we can all share. I think rest is fast becoming one of the most difficult things. But for us it's either got to involve exercise or the great outdoors. By the way, your photos are mind-blowingly excellent and your writing as consistently excellent as ever!
Rest is an interesting term. What is restful to one person might not be to another. I'm also very active, but there are a few activities that I consider my way of resting, because they soothe my mind. Gardening, even though it's very strenuous, calms my senses. I also love to put on an old movie, one I've seen a million times so I don't have to think about the plot, and do a jigsaw puzzle. I only used to do this on vacation, and one day I realized I could do it any time. So we typically do one to two puzzles a month. And walking to my pond and sitting on the shoreline watching the wildlife, definitely restful. Oh, and playing games, Scrabble or MahJong. Thanks for the beautiful photos! 💟
I find that rest is linked to issues of trust and control. When I am worried about outcomes, or want to personally control them, I can't rest. I'm like a sentinel on perpetual guard duty. Once I return to a place of trust in my Higher Power (for me, God) and relinquish trying to control everything (including my own striving for perfection), I am more apt and able to sink into a space of being watched over and lovingly held, and then, like a tired child, I can rest. And it humbly reminds me that I'm not necessarily the one who knows how "everything should be." :-) Letting go of that "all-knowing" hubris helps me rest, too, into the gift of the present moment I may have previously overlooked.
I suppose rest has been conditioned out of us by the constant push to pursue and value productivity above all. And so, we need to learn again to rest - that is to say, unlearn the busy...
Thank you for writing about this, Karen. I've been thinking about rest a lot lately. I'm not letting myself rest. I just feel more driven than ever. Last week there were two nights when I only got 5 hours of sleep, which is very unusual for me. I would wake up at 4:30 a.m. & keep telling myself, You've got to get more sleep. No way was my body going back to sleep. I literally got up at 4:30 2 mornings in a row. Luckily this morning the time was 6:30 but still....."Give yourself permission" just doesn't work for me at all. Resting seems like the most boring thing in the world....
Beautiful and calming pictures. Thank you 🙏
Like you, health has forced me to accept rest. I'm getting better at it but still have times where I question my worth because I am not as productive. But I think this new skill of self kindness will eventually take me a lot further than "productivity".
I honestly searched for poems to share with you but couldn’t find any. Why am I surprised that it’s so difficult to find good poems on this subject! Also, thanks for making me feel not alone in this. I had a difficult week with some physical pain as well and I tried to rest but felt extremely guilty about it the whole time, defeating the whole purpose of it really.

Knowledge and Information Transfer in Indonesia's Agricultural Society
Because communication between individuals cannot be relied on for knowledge and information transfer to the most needy, government efforts become a more important focus in this research. In my work, I study the case of a successful effort to transfer appropriate knowledge and information within the agricultural sector in the country of Indonesia. This example is particularly useful to those interested in studying knowledge and information transfer because governmental programs helped to overcome a severe shortage of useful information among large numbers of worker in agricultural sector.
The Indonesia's agricultural society consists of farmers, fishermen, hunters, and foresters. Most farmers had used inefficient production methods, so that the production of agriculture never reached its maximum capacity. These farmers needed knowledge and information on how to cultivate their land appropriately using better seeds, irrigation systems and fertilizers. They could not access this particular knowledge and information nor distributed it by themselves. They lived below the level of self-sufficiency and under the cycle of poverty: low income, low nutrition, low capability, and low productivity, and low income, again, as the result of low productivity.
The Indonesia's government managed to break the poverty cycle of its farmers and brought these farmers to a level of productivity at which they could support themselves, primarily in food production. The government's efforts included providing the farmers with infrastructures, good seeds, and fertilizers. Importantly, the government programs also gave the farmers knowledge of how to use all these resources through training provided by the governmental agriculture extension service. The extension services have played an important role in transferring knowledge and information from government agriculture research institutes, markets, and other private institutions to the farmers.
A careful analysis of the agricultural extension services in Indonesia might help us identify mechanisms for how government agents help to close the knowledge and information gaps. It might provide us with insights regarding how discrepancies in knowledge and information can be overcome to increase productivity. My research will shed light on an important part of Indonesia's economic policy and history, particularly in the agricultural sector. Thorough analysis of examples of successful efforts to transfer knowledge and information can therefore both fill a gap in economic theory and help us gain deeper understanding of economic processes in particular societies.

By Anders Jorstad -- STAFF WRITER The Hofstra Pride men’s basketball team used a late surge and a big bucket by Justin Wright-Foreman in the final seconds to propel the squad to a road victory against the University of Delaware 64-59.
News struck before the game that the Fightin’ Blue Hens would be without Ryan Daly, the team’s leading scorer and last year’s Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Year. Daly is out for an indefinite period of time, and Delaware dressed just nine players for the contest against Hofstra after losing by 27 points the last time the two faced off.
But Delaware didn’t miss a beat and came out strong, opening up to a 24-13 lead thanks to weak interior Pride defense. Hofstra guard Wright-Foreman came alive late in the first half to trim the deficit, but the Pride still trailed 36-28 at halftime.
Hofstra burst out of the gates in the second half. The Pride forced turnovers and got into fast-breaks, draining multiple threes to tie the game at 39-39. The two teams traded buckets until Wright-Foreman nailed a three-pointer with just 12 seconds left in the game, putting the Pride up by five and sealing their road win.
“Whatever time of the year, the bottom line is win the game,” said Hofstra head coach Joe Mihalich. “We’ve found a way. Didn’t play great, didn’t defend well in the first half. I thought our defense in the second half was outstanding, [Delaware] scored 23 points in the second half. I’m really proud of our guys for locking in there and caring about their defense.”
Hofstra initially struggled defensively to fend off Delaware’s two-big offensive front. With forwards Eric Carter and Skye Johnson often playing at the same time, Hofstra freshman Stafford Trueheart often had to guard one of them even though he was much smaller than the two Blue Hens.
“I thought [Trueheart] did pretty well,” Mihalich said. “I thought he held his own. He got beat for his first couple of rebounds, but he blocked a couple of shots. He did a good job.”
Wright-Foreman scored a team-high 32 points, 23 of which came in the second half. His three to seal the game was well defended and in front of a loud Delaware crowd, but he stepped up to the moment.
“I don’t know when they start talking about Player of the Year, but he’s certainly got to be the first name you talk about when you talk about who that could be,” Mihalich said.
There were certainly some signs of progress in the contest for Hofstra. The Pride turned the ball over just four times during the game despite averaging 12 per game for the season.
Hofstra is now 6-4 in conference play and enters a much easier stretch. Hofstra will host UNCW and the College of Charleston before taking the road to face Elon and UNCW. The Pride’s first game against the Seahawks will be on Thursday with tip off slated for 7p.m.
For Mihalich, there’s still plenty of work to be done.
“[Delaware] had every chance to win this game, we just got a little lucky.”


Whether it's the automotive industry or aviation, medical technology or microelectronics - the number of applications in which very low torques have to be controlled, monitored and documented is growing steadily. The Nano Driver ERXS with integrated transmitter from Desoutter is the tool of choice in these areas. A new range of static torque transducers now enables these electric screwdrivers to be tested inhouse as well.
Desoutter is launching on the market a range of static torque transducers for its Nano Driver ERXS miniature screwdriver. “With the DSTxs, it is now possible to carry out a machine capability study in the area of the lowest torques", explains Lukas Kois, Product Manager at the screw technology specialist Desoutter GmbH, based in Maintal. "For every nano driver model there is a suitable static transducer in line with its torque range. We also offer the user a simulator set, the so-called DJS set box, with which the four test conditions - hard and soft screw joints with minimum or maximum torque - are covered on metal, whereas in the case of assembly in plastic, with seals or washers, "soft" screw joints predominate. Different tightening strategies are also required for these different conditions.
With the sensors and the simulator set, users can now check all electric and pneumatic screwdrivers that work in the area of very low torques in terms of their accuracy and suitability for the respective installation task (a so-called "machine capability study", MCS). Desoutter recommends measurement on a guided test station in order to ensure perfect alignment of the tool or connection simulator and torque transducer. The scope of delivery of the DSTxs 20 also includes an adapter that achieves high accuracy with MCSs under 0.2 Newton metres (Nm).
Increasing requirements for process reliability in micro assembly
“The reason for the new development was the realisation that even with delicate assembly processes, the requirements regarding quality control and process monitoring are becoming more stringent”, says Lukas Kois. “In addition, the global market for automotive electronics in the areas of driver assistance systems, body electronics, entertainment, power train and security systems will grow significantly in the coming years”. This will also increase the demand for printed circuit boards, which in many cases are mounted with micro screws. “There is also a revolution in the field of results data collection”, says Kois. “Both have the consequence that the manufacturers will use more and more electrical tools with very low torque instead of manual screwdrivers and pneumatic tools - whether hand-held, attached to a tool stand or automated”.
Desoutter had already launched the Nano Driver ERXS with integrated sensor for such screw connections. The electric screwdriver can be used wherever screws with very low torques are tightened and the installation has to be monitored and documented. Desoutter is exhibiting the Nano Driver, including 2nd to 4th April at the Aircraft Interiors Expo, the international trade fair for aircraft interiors in Hamburg (Hall B1, Stand 1A50). The handy tool is available in three versions, which cover a total torque range from 0.06 to 0.8 Nm. All models work at a maximum speed of 1,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) and have pressure and lever starters. With a length of just 216 mm, their low weight of 300 g and their soft, non-slip grip, they offer a high level of ergonomic comfort. The tools are also suitable for the so-called KoALa procedure. This procedure describes a special strategy for screw connections in different materials, in which the clamp force control of the screw is an important parameter for programming. In such cases, the KoALa procedure leads to a higher installation quality than a simple torque or angle control.
Machine capability study for the lowest torques
Users can now further increase process reliability in their installations by regularly checking their nano driver screwdrivers with the DSTxs. For this purpose, the sensor can be connected to mobile measuring devices from the Desoutter Delta range. In addition to the minimum, maximum and mean values, it also provides the standard deviation as well as Cm and Cmk values. The measurement uncertainty of the DSTx is ± 0.5% over the entire measuring range. “All relevant data for the report, such as sensor type, serial number, sensitivity, nominal load and test date, can be called up via the built-in smart chip memory”, explains Product Manager Lukas Kois. “And on request, our Project Department can also integrate the DSTx into a test station or robot cell”.
15 cycles and 50 sets of parameters can be programmed
The nano driver models themselves are equipped with an M20 connection thread for easy integration into the assembly line. They offer a maximum torque tolerance of ± 5% above 6 sigma, very good repeatability and reliable feedback with a total of four LEDs, two of which can be programmed flexibly. In combination with the vacuum suction integrated into the ERXS screwdriver, 4 mm wing or crescent bits allow the insertion of the smallest screws in accordance with the pick ’n’ place principle. “Apart from Desoutter, I can't think of a manufacturer that currently offers a measurement-controlled screwdriver with an integrated vacuum suction", Kois emphasises. The vacuum pump can be controlled directly via the Desoutter CVIXS control unit, with which the screwdrivers also work. Up to 50 sets of parameters with a maximum of 15 phases each can be programmed and saved.

Forecasts show a rapidly increasing demand for electronic components. This also increases the need for solutions for reliable installation. Desoutter has now expanded its range to include a static torque transducer for miniature screwdrivers. (Image: Desoutter)

Wright was released by the Cardinals on Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Wright has now completed two briefs stints with the Cardinals this season and was a healthy inactive for both games while on the roster. The veteran wide receiver hasn't had much luck finding a new team in 2018 after spending last season with Chicago.
Wright signed with the team six days prior to this contest, so he wasn't expected to have much of an impact if he did play. The Cardinals will work with four wideouts in a game where they're expected to throw early and often while behind to one of the league's best offenses.
Wright returns to the 53-man roster after he was released by the team Oct. 18 following a two-week stint in Arizona. The veteran wideout will provide some additional depth at the position coming off a bye week, but it's unlikely he'll have a major role in the offensive game plan during Sunday's contest in Kansas City.
The Cardinals released Wright on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Wright's stay in the desert lasted just under two weeks, with the veteran wideout serving as a healthy inactive during the Cardinals' lone game of that span. With safety Tre Boston (shoulder) ruled out for Thursday's game against the Broncos, the Cardinals were eager to bolster their depth in the secondary, so cornerback Deatrick Nichols was signed off the practice squad to take Wright's spot on the 53-man roster.
A roster casualty of the Vikings on cut-down day Sept. 1, Wright worked out for a number of teams in the meantime, finally landing a new opportunity with the Cardinals. He's done most of his damage out of the slot in his career, so he may be hard-pressed to see the field with Larry Fitzgerald primarily working there in the latter stages of his career. However, Fitzgerald has been dealing with a hamstring injury for weeks, which could equate to regular snaps for Wright to ease the burden on the long-time Cardinal.

My Dear Barack,
What do you do with an exhausted democratic republic whose citizens are no longer citizens but passive spectators of the assorted media frenzies that pass for news?
The short answer is you militarize it.
An article, yesterday, spotlighted the Pentagon’s plans to deploy 20,000 troops inside the U.S. by 2011. The article cites 9/11 as the catalyst for this deployment. But the truth is the groundwork for this deployment was laid in the closing days of World War II.
The Great Depression, and the New Deal that followed, had badly shaken our elite. Democracy had raised its ugly head and they badly wanted to decapitate it.
Now, it is a truism that anxiety and democracy are mutually exclusive. A healthy republic requires courageous citizens, not cowering spectators, and our leaders soon realized that an overhyped Communist menace gave them the tool they needed create and nurture the atmosphere of anxiety so necessary for the birth of an authoritarian regime.
What wonderful memories I have of being a child of the fifties, frightened of every thought that entered my head for fear it might be symptomatic of subversive thinking. Is it any wonder mine was called the Silent Generation? Penny loafers, belted chinos and a three-button plaid shirt were the uniform of the day, and anyone out of uniform was immediately suspect.
Pop culture fed our anxiety as we were taught to fear bad breath, body odor, acid indigestion, long hair, beards, ring around the collar, unpopularity and yellow teeth. (What child of the fifties will ever forget that ode to social conformity, “You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!”)
With the passage of decades, our elite become even more adept at feeding our anxieties. The worries of the fifties pale beside the worries of the twenty-first century. Now we sweat attention deficit disorder (ADD), acid reflux, spastic bowel disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), toenail fungus, erectile dysfunction, social affective disorder (SAD), aging, cancer, AIDS, constipation, flatulence and transfats.
Such is our anxiety that we raise nary a whimper as repressive laws are passed restricting what we smoke (cigarettes) and what we eat (transfats), all justified as measures that “save lives”, which is nonsense since no lives are saved; death is simply postponed. These appeals to “healthy living” overlook the fact that the leading cause of death is birth.
Now you know why, in the wake of 9/11, the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act passed so easily. A frightened people care more about their security than they do about their freedom.
America is primed and ready for a military dictatorship. Hell, we’re as deeply in debt and any third-world country, so we might as well have the dictatorship that does with it.
This, I believe, is the change we can believe in. And you are the man to lead America into a new Golden Age as we chant, “Yes we can!”

Each year I make sure I get to Steckle Woods to see the early May wildflowers. This woodlot is only five minutes from home by car and has a lovely network of trails. White Trilliums carpet the ground as far as the eye can see and many other wildflowers bloom as well.
I have almost completed three years of blogging and am approaching my 800th post. I started blogging to keep in touch with family and friends and also as a way to improve my writing skills. I did not have a good camera at first and could not rely on pictures to tell my stories. As I started taking more photos, the focus changed to images rather than words. I am a visual learner and like books with illustrations.
When I was off work for several weeks last winter, I started entering some weekly photo memes. These generated huge numbers of comments from others who registered their blogs on the same memes. I met some new bloggers who I enjoy visiting regularly through these memes like Esther, Gaelyn, Janie, Deborah, Carolyn and Antogoni, but there was no way I could keep up with all the bloggers on Skywatch and My World. Large blogrolls are time consuming and once I returned to work, it was impossible to write well and read and comment on dozens of blogs.
I will continue to report on my day to day life and birding, but I do want to make sure I also focus on reflecting and writing well about topics that are very meaningful to me.

Utah officials are asking the federal government to cancel their request for a limited Medicaid expansion with a work requirement after voters approved a full expansion.
Utah Department of Health spokeswoman Kolbi Young says the state has asked federal Medicaid officials to indefinitely suspend consideration of the plan passed by Utah lawmakers earlier this year. Utah’s plan needed a waiver because it has a work requirement and is more limited than the expansion specified by then-President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.
Utah voters approved the ballot measure last week after majority Republican lawmakers repeatedly rejected the idea over concerns that its costs would force cuts to other services. The initiative will provide health care coverage to an estimated 150,000 low-income Utah residents. It includes a sales tax increase.

Starting The Climb
Where did I start my journey into self-improvement? Well, it started many, many years ago… but let’s skip the normal; school, Boy Scouts, military. All of this did help me, however, it wasn’t until I heard Earl Nightingale audio series “Lead The Field” that I began to slip into the “older” knowledge.
At the time I didn’t see “Lead The Field” as really being that old, but there were many references to some older authors, like Emerson, Goethe, Cervantes, and…
This audio series changed my life forever. It was one of the “source” causes for me getting out of the military and diving into entrepreneurship. Thinking back, I can see now that it was just a sliver of what could have been if I were to have continued my quest for deeper knowledge then… but I guess I wasn’t ready.
I continued to be interested in reading all kinds of self-help books such as Tony Robins here and there, I even dabbled in the likes of Tim Ferriss and …but none of these were older knowledge, or were they?
It was more than twenty years later when I would start really digging again…
With the power of the internet, I was able to easily find some youtube audio of “Lead The Field” and many more Earl Nightingale audios; one of those was “Think and Grow Rich“. I was really intrigued by the content and found out that Earl Nightingale wasn’t the author, he was just recapping the information. The original book was written by Napoleon Hill.
I found the book very cheap on Amazon, so I bought a copy for myself, a friend, and one of my daughters. After doing quite a bit of digging in that book I started to look at other authors/speakers that were just as (if not more) interested in this book as I was. The most prominent of these people was Bob Proctor; he seemed to be almost delusional with this book! So, I kept dissecting this book thinking this was the gold mine because Earl looked to Napoleon for knowledge, right?
Well, after several months of wallowing in this wealth of knowledge, I began to question where Napoleon got his information from… It contained information on the Law of Attraction… and this is what the book “The Secret” is based on, so I began my research into it. I found Bob Proctor again, and also a source older than Think & Grow Rich… Charles Francis Haanel, who wrote many books including “The Master Key System”; this book appears to have been a big influence and source for both “Think & Grow Rich” and “The Secret”.
At this point, I thought that I had finally found the original source of not only much of Earl Nightingale’s writings, but it seemed like many of the top self-help gurus of today! I dug into this book like all the previous, but something had changed in my thinking… I was beginning to really grasp all of the complexities in these older texts! But once again, I had to wonder, where did Haanel get his information?
I soon discovered that William Walker Atkinson had written a book that was implied to have been, at least partially, Haanel’s influence in writing “The Master Key System”. This book “The Kybalion: A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece” was written by The Three Initiates, and is believed to have been Atkinson’s pen name. I can say that after reading almost all of Atkinson’s books, I would agree that the writing style is all his.
After many months of reading most of Atkinson’s books, I felt pretty confident that the study of Hermetic Philosophy was the final frontier… but no, I was wrong. I dug into Atkinson’s background and found that Marquis de Puységur (1700s French Royalty) influenced Quimby, who in turn influenced Mary Eddy, then she influenced Emma Hopkins, and she influenced Atkinson. But it doesn’t stop there, Atkinson was a Freemason… and so was Haanel (there are a few twists and turns here…).
During this time of The New Thought Movement, there was something called Theosophy; this now brings a lot of this together and also adds some older sources to everything I have been trying to explain… The main player/author in Theosophy was Blavatsky who had a major influence on Atkinson and one of my current favorites, Manly P Hall (who strangely enough was a Mason). Blavatsky wrote, “The Secret Doctrine” and her influencers can be found in; Neoplatonism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Kabbalism, Rosicrucianism, and who knows how many others! I am on hold as far as my continued research into her; I have started reading “The Secret Doctrine”, but… wow…
After my reading most of Atkinson’s books and then doing further research into many different realms, I stopped and drank from the fountain of Manly P. Hall; most of this was actually audiobooks that I found on YouTube. I just really like his voice and his philosophy… he’s just as good, if not a bit more my taste than Earl Nightingale.
Then, out of nowhere, I came across Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” and “The Power of Now”. What can I say, after studying all of the old stuff, Tolle was a breath of fresh air… and he really provided some bridges in and out of my consciousness. Tolle is alive and kicking; he has a ton of stuff on Youtube.
Believe it or not, this is the point where I really get started learning and grasping the source of all sources…
I was drinking a few beers with someone at a local brewery when the seed was dropped, I was recommended a couple of books written by Halevi; one of the first I read was “The Kabbalistic Tree of Life”.
Now let me just say right here and now, during all of these recent phases of study I have not been changing my religious views. I’m stating this not because I am worried about what you will think of me… just pointing out that all of this ancient knowledge can be of value to anyone within any religious belief. That is what’s so exciting to me… the fact that I can actually share my journey up the ladder… that ancient saying “Know Thyself” is the secret to everything. Self-knowledge, or SelfKen*.
*Ken is defined as; perception, understanding, or knowledge

Asbury Park Press:
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Bell said he is behind in the polls by double digits because single mothers are "wed" to the social benefits like food stamps that Democrats hand out.
Bell said his 20-plus percentage point deficit among women in public opinion polls isn't due to his socially conservative views, such as opposition to abortion rights, but rather the result of demographic boost in the number of unmarried women.
"I've done a lot of thinking about this and looked at a lot of different polls, I think it has more to do with the rise in single women," Bell told the Asbury Park Press. "Single mothers particularly are automatically Democratic because of the benefits. They need benefits to survive, and so that kind of weds them to the Democratic Party.
"But single women who have never married and don't have children are also that way," he continued. "If you take married women, they aren't that different from married men. So it's really a problem with the decline in marriage rates. The Democrats do benefit from that."

For those of you hoping to see the former NFL star getting it in with booty model Wankaego…sorry, it won’t happen. Chad Johnson’s attorneys have served cease and desist orders to websites that were showing the low budget video which was stolen from Chad’s hacked cell phone. TMZ.com reports:
“Sources close to Chad tell us the sites removed the video after they received the letter from his attorneys … which stated the tape was stolen property which they did not have the right to publish.
We’re told CJ’s attorneys are now taking aim at several other smaller websites that have posted still images from the sex tape — and they are threatening legal action against any sites that refuse to pull the material.
As TMZ first reported, Johnson has contacted the FBI because he believes the tape was hacked from his phone.”
Well I guess that means I’ll be pulling down the story I wrote! As Sweet Brown would say, “ain’t nobody got time fa dat!” So for those of you who haven’t seen the post you better read it tonight because I will be pulling it in the morning. 🙂
P.S. Chad’s body…dayummmm!

Aims The WHO recommends the SAFE (surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness and environmental improvement) strategy for trachoma control. We aimed to investigate the association between active trachoma and community intervention with antibiotics, facial cleanliness, environmental improvement (A,F,E) components of SAFE in five trachoma hyperendemic districts of Amhara region, Ethiopia.
Methods Cluster random surveys were undertaken to evaluate SAFE following 3 years of interventions. Children aged 1–9 years were examined for trachoma signs using the WHO simplified grading system and structured questionnaires used to assess uptake of A, F and E. Active trachoma signs (trachomatous inflammation-follicular (TF) and trachomatous inflammation-intense (TI)) were used to derive an ordinal severity score where TI was considered more severe than TF. Associations between active trachoma and potential factors were investigated using ordinal logistic multilevel regression models.
Results A total of 1813 children aged 1–9 years were included in the analysis. Factors independently associated with reduced odds of active trachoma signs were: number of times treated with azithromycin (p-trend=0.026); months since last mass azithromycin distribution (p-trend<0.001); clean face (OR=0.6; 95% CI 0.5 to 0.8); and household pit latrine (OR=0.8; 95% CI 0.7 to 0.9).
Conclusion These findings are important, since they make the case for continued implementing the A,F,E interventions simultaneously, and suggest appropriate timing of SAFE evaluations within 6–12 months after the last mass azithromycin distribution.

Expanding Vault12 Beta to Android and iOS: Now that the Vault12 Beta has been underway for some months, we are ready to expand the program to include both Android and iOS devices.
November 15 2021
So far Vault12 Beta testers have had to use iOS devices to create digital vaults and assign Guardians who are also on iOS, as well as assign Guardian devices that run iOS. All that changes now — as of the latest build of the Vault12 app, enrolled Beta testers will be able to create their Vaults on their Android phones running Android 8.0 Oreo or later. In addition both Vault owners on iOS and Android will be able to assign Guardians and Guardian devices that are on Android 8.0 Oreo or later in addition to iOS.
Those Beta testers who previously enrolled as Andriod users will shortly begin receiving invitations and new Beta testers can join the program at vault12.com/beta
Which releases of Android are supported?
For the duration of the Beta program, we will support Android 8.0 Oreo or later.
Note: Participants in the Beta program are now eligible for Community Rewards, see details here.
(including Cryptocurrency Seeds, NFTs and Art)
Every digital asset you own should be backed up, protected and remain accessible. Cryptocurrency in particular is difficult to secure. With natural disasters, hackers, to badly implemented security, you are always at the mercy of others.

Pass on your Digital Assets to future generations
Vault12 Digital Inheritance is the first solution to offer a simple, direct, and secure way to ensure digital assets can be accessed by future generations. Digital Inheritance enables investors to designate an individual who will inherit their entire portfolio of digital assets stored in a secure Vault once the time comes, eliminating undue risk and the need to continually update an inventory or continually issue updated instructions.
Designed to be used alongside traditional hardware, software and online wallets, Vault12 helps cryptocurrency owners, ICO investors, professional cryptocurrency traders, and high net worth investors safeguard their digital assets without storing anything in the cloud or in fact any one single location. This increases the protection and decreases the risks of loss.
A digital Vault containing your digital assets is assigned to trusted people or devices, known as Guardians. Your Guardians can be adjusted as needed in real-time so that the appropriate number are always guarding your digital assets. No one can access your assets and only you get access when you need.
The Winklevosses came up with an elaborate system to store and secure their private keys. They cut up printouts of their private keys into pieces and then distributed them in envelopes to safe deposit boxes around the country, so if one envelope were stolen the thief would not have the entire key.
The idea behind Vault12 is how do we essentially split that responsibility, make that problem of key control less a technological one by essentially making it into a social one with networks of people that they trust.
Exchanges are the main target for hackers. Those are the biggest honeypots. So the number one rule in Crypto is, do not keep your money on an exchange, and if you're going to custody that money, you need to do it off of the exchange with a product like Vault12.
Security and usability are inextricably linked, the former cannot exist without the latter. Vault12 understands the need for end-to-end management of this experience as well as the importance of integrating into the prevailing crypto ecosystem
As we move to a more open financial system driven by advanced blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, we need smarter ways to ensure that the system is trustworthy. Vault12 does this by addressing a foundational need -- ensuring that your crypto assets are not only protected by decentralized security, but also by your trusted inner circle. Your private key never exists in one place or with one entity, reducing risks from hackers as well as everyday accidents.
Security is the lifeblood of industry, commerce, and leisure. As more people use decentralized applications, they will need a way to back up their crypto wallets and exchange accounts. Vault12 provides a simple and natural way to reduce risks and combat the fear of forgetting seed phrases and private keys.

Online casinos sw casino, also known as virtual casinos or even virtual online casinos, are online versions of conventional offline casinos. Online casinos allow gamblers from all over the globe to play and gamble on online casino games. Today, it has grown into a very popular type of internet gambling. Online casinos offer you many advantages over conventional live casinos. As an example, you can acquire jackpots and gardenia888 casino other prizes and bonuses even if you are not in your home.
Additionally, there are many differences between online casino games and live dealer games. Most importantly, in-person gambling entails a live trader who interacts with players in a genuine casino. This interaction may consist of asking random questions that will help them reach a decision about whether they would like to gamble or not. In addition, a live dealer can sometimes encourage a player to try out a hand of blackjack or blackjack, which is prohibited in most cases.
On the flip side, online casinos generally do not have these issues. They generally utilize computers and software that behave entirely autonomously. The computers maintain the documents of all the stakes that consumers have made and cannot make any suggestions regarding the actions that a user should take in reaction to those choices. In this way, online casinos provide players with an experience which closely resembles the expertise that they would have in a true casino. They could take part in live casino gambling while still remaining within their own limits.
However, there are a few online casino games which demand more of physical activity than others. Online roulette, for example, may require the participant to push on a button, spin a wheel, or otherwise manipulate an invisible device to move the chunk from 1 place to another. These activities have in-person counterparts but are played at the cyberworld instead of on a true gaming floor. In addition, many online casinos offer variations of classic games which might be played between live dealers. This allows players to practice the approaches used in live dealer games without having to worry about really interacting with an actual dealer.
One of the most effective ways to research the legal online casinos would be to look for a professional legal counsel. The world wide web is filled with information and debate regarding many legal matters, including the regulation of online gaming. Legally qualified specialists can review a website’s security protocols, which can influence online casinos’ customers in addition to their capacity to process payments. They can also advise their clients about the games they should play, when they should play with them , and how they ought to behave in the event of a dispute. Most importantly, they could give tips about the best way to stay out of trouble by staying within the guidelines set forth by law. For these reasons, legal counsel is often a wise investment.
Many nations also have passed laws that influence online casinos and the manner in which they function. For instance, in Nevada, online casinos are required to get written permission from the owners of properties where they intend to construct. If they are accepted, these institutions are then held to the very same rules that conventional bricks-and-mortar institutions must abide by. Although this system was criticized to be unresponsive, it is vital for ensuring that the security of their property owners. Thus, online casinos have been closely tracked by both local and state governments.
Another regulation impacting online casinos is that the”one-sidedness” rule. In Nevada, live dealers must offer a demonstration of a game offered by a single of the licensed casinos to get a participant to choose from. If the live dealer doesn’t supply a demo of one of the live casino alternatives, the player should choose one off the list. This principle was put into place since some live traders get involved in certain games that are preferred at particular online casinos. By way of example, the favorite sport at several internet casinos is blackjack, and this is why gamers are sometimes needed to go through a long series of displays with different live dealers in order to make the ideal choice.
Lastly, the most common regulation that’s enforced on regulated online casinos is the no-deposit rule. In the united states, all online casinos are simply needed to require a player to deposit a specified amount of money before they can begin playing. This money is generally held in an online casino account before the player wins something, at which time that money is returned to the participant. This is the reason why players who participate in high-roller games are needed to deposit considerable amounts of money, which is basically to prevent them from getting too much and dropping their accounts.

Bitcoin [BTC] maximalist and Microstrategy, Chairman of the Board, Michael Saylor, recently said that Ethereum [ETH] The consolidation means that BTC will be stronger. Bloomberg mentioned Saylor made this statement while attending an Australian conference. According to him, the transition from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) makes ETH less of a crypto asset. Saylor said,
“Proof of work is the only globally accepted and proven method for creating a digital good.”
Strong, but not everything
However, it may seem that the former CEO made some important points. This is because Bitcoin has reached some high levels recently. The leading on-chain platform, Glassnode, revealed that the number of addresses with 1 BTC and more has reached another all-time high (ATH).
The previous ATH of 902,466 was observed on September 15, 2022
– glassnode alerts (glassnodealerts) September 17, 2022
In addition, BTC has also shown strength for every active supply volume in ten years. according to detailsThe scale is now at an ATH of 2,516,592.726 BTC based on Glassnode data.
However, BTC did not record high levels in all aspects, as there were some declines in important areas. CryptoQuant showed that the average exchange inflow and outflow for seven days has decreased from the last 24 hours. While the average exchange flow decreased By 46%, flow registered by 54%.
This decrease may be expected after a particle Selling pressure for each increase in currency inflow earlier.
Regarding the derivatives aspect, Coinglass showed that more than $27 million worth of BTC was filter it in the last 24 hours. There appears to be some stability compared to the levels of the previous day. For open futures, there was a plus Across almost all stock exchanges.
In the press, open futures positions were $14.68 billion. This status means that bitcoin traders were active in both long and short positions.
While BTC may have shown strength in the derivatives market, its price was not on the same page. CoinMarketCap open That BTC lost control of keeping $20,000. At the time of writing, it is trading at $19,882.
Despite the outcry from some ETH loyalists about the security token, Saylor appears to have made up his mind. The CEO previously stated that Bitcoin has no alternative. He went further Twitter Wall Street Journal article about the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) considering ETH as a security.
Finally, there was no clear indication that BTC was not greater than ETH. However, loyalists on both sides hope that one will prove wrong with time.
