Salisu Yusuf's men will be playing in their first final in the history of the competition against the North Americans.
The team finished third four years ago in their debut appearance in South African and failed to progress beyond the group stage in the last edition in Rwanda.
Ajiboye who came in for the injured captain of the team, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, in the semi-final win against Sudan and posted a superb display says the team is battle ready for the game.
"We are on the verge of making history and can't afford not to go home with the trophy," the Plateau United goalie informed CSN.
"The hosts (Morocco) have a lot of quality players in their team and have played very well in this competition, but they are beatable.
"We have fought hard to get to this stage despite the injuries and the weather issue and it's important to end the competition on a high.
"We know it will be difficult as the Moroccans will have a lot of fans cheering them in the stadium but God and the Nigerian spirit in us will see us through. "

Effects of post-harvest management practices on the degradation of Bacillus thuringiensis proteins in genetically modified corn residue
Johnson, Veronica
Hooks, Cerruti RR
MetadataShow full item record
Most studies addressing the ecological effects of Bt crops have focused on non-target effects during the crop growing cycle. Less information is available on the fate of expressed toxins in crop residue after harvest in a no-till production system. This research investigated the effects of four post-harvest management practices on the degradation rates of Cry proteins expressed in SmartStax field corn. Cry protein degradation expressed as growth inhibition of Ostrinia nubilalis larvae after harvest was measured by a feeding bioassay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to detect the presence of Cry proteins. Cry proteins retained significant levels of biological activity at crop senescence and were still present in corn residue for more than 20 weeks after harvest. Despite inconsistencies in treatment effects, the study demonstrated that post-harvest practices that increase soil-residue contact increase protein degradation, thereby reducing the period of exposure for non-target organisms.

Levels of Care
Treatment of patients with addictions, especially substance use disorders, relies on a broad array of treatment settings and providers. Because addiction can often involve so called "reachable moments" (i.e. moments when the person with an addiction is in a position to accept help), it is essential that providers, families and patients themselves are able to find the right treatment setting and care givers at the right moment.
Here we refer to these various settings as "levels of care" because care for substance use disorders ranges in level of intensity from outpatient to inpatient and everything in between. Please see below for a one line description of various levels of care. If you click on "read more" you can see an expanded description and in some places an FAQ for each level.
It is also important to be aware the appropriate pharmacotherapy (medication) is an increasingly important part of good care for substance use disorders and while not listed explicitly as part of each level of care below, it does indeed cut across all levels of care.
Finally, caregivers and patients should remember that the determination of the right level of care can be a complex process – if there is any uncertainty about the patient's safety or the adequacy of a particular option, it is best to begin with a formal evaluation and assessment by a health care professional.
Levels of Care Informative Graphics
Considered the most intensive level of care, these facilities are generally for patients whose condition is the most severe or unstable. Daily nursing and physician contact along with 24 hour medical monitoring is included in the level of care for patients with severe withdrawal needs and/or other medical or psychiatric needs acutely complicating their addiction issues.
Emergency Room, Inpatient Detox, Inpatient Medical Unit with Detoxification, Inpatient "Dual Diagnosis" or Psychiatric Hospitalization with Detoxification
Considered the second most intensive level of care, these facilities are generally for patients who are medically stable but still require both daily support from counselors and other clinicians as well as a 24 hour supportive milieu to prevent relapse.
Acute residential including CSS, TSS, holding, private pay, and court mandated variants, Sober House or Recovery House, Halfway House or ¾ House
Professional treatment outside of inpatient or residential units in the community. Patients may come to outpatient treatment after an inpatient or residential treatment, or they may attend appointments while still in sober housing. Many others will enter outpatient treatment first and may never require a "higher level" of care.
Ambulatory Detox, Partial Hospital Program, Intensive Outpatient, Routine Outpatient care, Specialty addiction services including methadone and buprenorphine programs, Primary care offices
Community mutual help organizations (MHOs), historically referred to as self-help groups, are generally peer-lead groups whose members have lived experience with substance use problems or other addictions and offer various non-professional tools, strategies and resources to help newcomers maintain sobriety and develop their own recoveries.
Community Support, Mutual Help or "Self-Help" organizations, Other faith based mutual help, Natural recovery

New Delhi: Ahead of Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai's visit, the government on Thursday cleared another tranche of development aid to the tune of Rs 540 crore to be given to the war-torn country where such help has earlier directly benefited the local communities.
The Union Cabinet, at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, approved the third phase of the Small Development Projects (SDP) to be implemented across all the 34 provinces of Afghanistan.
Under the first two phases of the SDP, India has built a number of basic health clinics, schools, child hospitals and dug borewells across border provinces of Afghanistan.
The SDP directly impacts local communities, supports social-economic development and facilitates community life through creation of infrastructure in various sectors including education, health, agriculture, Finance Minister P Chidambaram told reporters in New Delhi.
"Local communities of Afghanistan would directly benefit from the Small Development Projects which will cover all 34 provinces of Afghanistan," he said.
The Small Development Projects were earlier implemented in two phases--the first in July 2006 comprising 50 projects worth $11,216,179; and the second in June 2008 comprising 51 projects worth $8,579,537.
With a 2.3 billion dollar aid programme, India is one of the largest donors to Afghanistan, investing in the economy, humanitarian aid, education, development, construction and electrical projects.

"Geometries of Thought: What the history of network visualizations reveals about how we think"
March 12, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Join us on March 12th for a talk by visiting speaker Scott Weingart, Carnegie Mellon University.
"Everything is connected", a generation of magazine covers shouted, proclaiming the dawn of an age of cybernetics, of information, of big data. The history of that connectivity reflects deep-seated philosophical positions which influence what and how we think. Trees and networks offer particularly compelling models through which to organize the world, and looking at their illustrations over the last thousand years provides a unique purchase into Western Europe's changing philosophical landscape. Through these illustrations, we can trace everything from the changing role of God, to the underpinning of early gravitational theories, to the values implicit in force-directed network layouts.
***Please note that the workshop that was to be held on March 13 has been canceled, but the talk will be held as scheduled on March 12.***
This event is free and open to the public, but guests from outside the Northeastern community should RSVP to Sarah Connell: sa.connell[at]northeastern[dot]edu.

"Waste not. Want not."
I heard those words at the dinner table at least twice a week from my mother when I was a young kid. But I don't think I understood them. I know they never had much affect on me. Nor did the stories of rationing during the war or the starving African children. It was only when I was told that I couldn't go out and play until I'd eaten everything on my plate that I first understood the irresponsibility of waste.
My real understanding of the problem though didn't come until recently.
Depending upon the source, global food waste is estimated to be somewhere between one third and one half of all the food that is ever produced. In developed countries, much of that loss is not at the production stage but during the consumption stage. I was astonished when I first heard the numbers; the estimate is about 100 kilograms per year per person or over half a pound a day.
My first thoughts were about that waste all being in the home (perhaps because kids no longer care if they go out to play) but, as more and more people eat their meals outside their homes, it's happening elsewhere. It's happening in restaurants. And someone in San Miguel de Allende is doing something about it.
Sibel Pinto is a chef who specializes in a cuisine that's foreign even to a foodie. The cuisine is called Turkish/Sephardic. I've been delighted by Turkish cuisine but I didn't know much about Sephardic except that, maybe, they were the Jews that originated in Spain and had some major problems in the country sometime around when Columbus headed west. But Sibel is the author of the book, "The Evolution of the Sephardic Cuisine in Turkey: Five Centuries of Survival" so obviously I still have a lot to learn. Sibel also knows a lot more about food waste than I do.
Sibel Pinto told me, "Food waste is a highly visible and urgent challenge that is gaining importance worldwide. While consumer and residential waste represent the largest sources of food waste, restaurants also account for 37% of waste. Thus cooks have the opportunity to have a significant impact on reducing food waste at the source by becoming more engaged, more creative and more focused in cooking. We would like to raise awareness and to teach, to learn and to share the best practices in food waste prevention."
"I was deeply concerned to see how much food was wasted in the kitchens I worked in. All those fresh vegetables, fruits, bread and other baked goods that were put into the trash when it was possible to turn them into delicious and healthy food."
Chef Pinto continued, "We want to successfully utilize the food waste like fruit and vegetable trimmings, peels, left-overs, and recycle food scraps as an exciting food adventure and a most enjoyable dining experience. We want to help others to learn to use every opportunity to prevent food waste, to show ways to improve our practices and attitudes about waste, to strengthen sustainability of the food system and to be a catalyst for changing the social acceptability of wasted food."
To address the problem, Sibel Pinto and her husband Henri have formed Action Kashkarikas. That word kashkarikas, which, probably to you, like me, was a total mystery, until I learned, and now you, that it is the signature dish of traditional Turkish-Sephardi cuisine prepared by using the peels from zucchini. The aim of Action Kashkarikas is to teach restaurants and you and I how to cook delicious, diverse, healthy and inspiring food by using fruit and vegetable trimmings, peels, left-overs and low cost ingredients.
To introduce the program, on January 12, Sibel Pinto will team with José Bossuet, chef/owner of San Miguel's Cafe Contento for a very special fundraising dinner.
Sibel Pinto told me, "We are committed to better health for human kind, to create educational opportunities and to support rural development. We are involved in the battle against poverty and hunger. We want to promote ecological development and humanitarian aid. We are partnering and fundraising for the non-profit organization Action Against Hunger, the leader in fighting child hunger and malnutrition in the world."
I don't know how much organic waste is produced in San Miguel de Allende but I did find out that Mexico City produces 5,100 tons of organic waste every day.
I also know that according to Mexico's National Crusade Against Hunger, over 58 million Mexicans live below the poverty line and the government has defined 11.7 million as living in extreme poverty and deprivation. One night of sensible eating isn't going to do a lot to solve that problem but, hopefully, it will make us all be much more aware of it. I hope I see you there.
The Action Kashkarikas Fundraising Dinner will be held at 8:00 pm on Thursday, January 12, at Cafe Contento, in Plaza Golondrina, Hernández Macías 72, in San Miguel de Allende. Reservations are essential and can be made by emailing Martha Alfaro at firstname.lastname@example.com or telephoning her at 415 154 8020.

New York Comic Con 2018 / NYCC 2018, Funko & DC Comics Universe Spoilers: DC Meets He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe In New DC Primal Age Toy Line & Comic Book Series
New York Comic Con 2018 / NYCC 2018, Funko and DC Comics Universe Spoilers follows.
DC Meets He-Man and The Masters Of The Universe In New DC Primal Age Toy Line and Comic Book Series.
DC Comics reports:
- The panel had even more surprises in store: Dan DiDio made reference to a recent interview on DC Daily where he talked about finding some old sketches and designs for a 1980s-era comic and toy line called Primal Age. With an announcement by Funko of a new retro-style barbarian fantasy-themed action figure line called DC Primal Age, Dan had to confess that the interview he did was part of a larger stunt and there was never a comic planned.
However, the joke was on Dan when DC writing icon Marv Wolfman took the stage. Wolfman spoke with Dan and Jim about his plans to write a comic book based on this new line of toys by Funko, with art provided by Scott Koblish. Titled DC PRIMAL AGE, Wolfman revealed initial details about his story, explaining the mythos behind the toy line and how it will be rooted in the sword and sorcery genre, reminiscent of DC comics like WARLORD and HERCULES UNBOUND. In addition, the DC PRIMAL AGE comic will also include several short stories featuring DC characters rendered in the style of Funko's new action figure line.
Fans received a firsthand look at the new line and were treated to a special surprise, receiving a New York Comic Con exclusive Mr. Freeze DC PRIMAL AGE figure.
Here are the Funko DC Primal Age figures revealed so far including a Batcave and more.

Speeding tickets are damaging to both your driving record and your pocketbook. Just how damaging depends on the severity of the offense and the state in which it occurs. No matter where it happens, a speeding ticket will likely lead to an increase in your insurance rates. Most tickets won't impact your rates for more than three years, but your rates may increase for up to 10 years if you were traveling more than a few miles an hour over the speed limit.
The length of time a speeding ticket affects your insurance varies based on the laws in your specific state and the rules of your auto insurance policy.
Rate Increases
The amount that your monthly premiums increase depends on the seriousness of the speeding ticket. It also varies from one insurance company to another. Generally, if you were traveling less than 15 MPH over the speed limit, your insurance rate increase might be as little as 11 percent. For tickets issued to drivers traveling 15-to-29 MPH over the limit, the increase is typically about 12 percent. For 30 MPH or more over the posted speed limit, you can expect a 15 percent rise in premiums, if your carrier will still cover you. At this speed, your insurer may choose to end your insurance coverage altogether. The more tickets you have, the more likely your rates are to increase and the greater the increase may be. Your age may also play into the equation.
Rate Increase Duration
You could probably live with an insurance rate hike for a few months, but speeding tickets will affect your premiums for years. The increase in your rates can last as long as 10 years, while the average is three. In some areas, insurers will add a surcharge to your insurance for the ticket and remove it if you remain ticket-free for one year. Ultimately, the insurance industry rules for your state determine how long a ticket remains on the insurance company's books,
Getting a Pass
Negotiate with your insurance company once you're found guilty and the ticket is officially part of your driving record. If you have been a loyal customer for an extended period of time, with a good payment history and an overall positive driving record, you might be able to soften the impact of the ticket. Explain why and how you got the ticket and how the rise in rates is going to hurt your finances. If your years as a policy holder have any value to the company, you might be able to negotiate your increase down, trade off a higher deductible in place of the increase, or get off with a warning if it's your first violation.
Options for a Reduced Rate
There are some ways to regain control of your insurance costs after your rates increase. Ask your carrier if there are any available discounts for bundled coverage or long-term loyalty. Ask about defensive driving discounts and whether a qualifying course exists in your area. If it does, you may be able to reduce your rates by attending a simple eight-hour course. If your carrier has nothing to offer, call other insurers in your area, disclose your ticket conviction and request a rate rundown. Compare the rates with your current company and make the switch if the savings are worth it.

Seared Alaskan Halibut can go with any side dish. I chose Spaghetti with arrabiata sauce because these are ingredients I had with me. A lot of times, this is how I cook, by using what is available to me. Some times it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Eggs and Spinach on Toast
I often make easy breakfasts like this on the weekend that fill you up, easy to make and taste great. Even though I have a slight allergy to eggs, I still find myself ordering them and making them at home because to me they are the ultimate breakfast ingredient. Well at least next to bacon. This dish is just one of my many variations on a typical breakfast open-face sandwich I enjoy making.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is coming our way shortly, a film starring Tom Hanks as the beloved Mister Fred Rogers in a movie that many critics are covering with accolades, and a must for the holiday season.
It's based on the real-life friendship between journalist Tom Junod, who was commissioned to write a profile on the famous TV star Fred Rogers for Esquire and the film follows the amazing friendship that blossoms between the two. Word is the movie is all about being respected, feeling special — and feeling loved.
What many don't realize is Rogers had an almost equally famous sidekick: his cardigan. For more than three decades, Rogers would start each episode of his famous Mister Rogers' Neighborhood singing his famous song, Won't You Be My Neighbor? while changing into his ubiquitous cardigan — many made by his own mom — and slipping on tennis shoes, a gesture that earned his cardigan a place of honour in the Smithsonian Museum and cultivating a fashion trend that continues to reverberate to this day.
From Rogers to Kurt Cobain to Jimmy Carter, few fashion items have had as much power or mass appeal as this humble sweater-type covering. Some are made of pure wool, others of cotton, polyester or blends, and range in price from a conservative $10 (if you're hunting previously enjoyed) to thousands of dollars.
Just recently, Rogers' widow, Joanne Rogers visited a women's hospital in Pittsburgh and was greeted by the sight of a row of newborn babies, all sporting red cardigans as a nod to her late husband and to celebrate World Kindness and Cardigan Day.
According to Poshmark, the largest online social marketplace for fashion, "like many fashion staples, the cardigan of today originated out of necessity. The cardigan emerged as a variation of a military jacket in the 1850s and is now considered a must-have item."
In fact, the cardigan is steeped in history, first appearing on the scene in 1854, when James Thomas Brudenell, the 7th Earl of Cardigan (yes, you heard that right), was considered a war hero and popularized his signature style: a knitted waistcoat. He wore the original cardigan.
Rogers started wearing a selection starting in 1968, followed by then-U.S. president Jimmy Carter who, in 1977, famously wore a cardigan for his televised speech about the energy crisis in the U.S. The late Cobain, Nirvana frontman, wore a vintage green cardigan for his world-famous performance on the MTV series, Unplugged, in New York back in 1993. And Ryan Reynolds — who helped popularize wearing a cardigan beneath a blazer, was named GQ's Man of the Year back in 2016.
And just this year, Tyler, the Creator — known for his style and cardigan collection — headlined his first performance at Madison Square Garden for a cardigan-clad audience!
Rogers wore his signature red cardigan but, according to poshmark.com, "after his mother could no longer knit his cardigans, the low-cost production team procured zip-up cardigans from the same company that supplied them to the USPS and dyed them vivid colours in a soup pot."
Carter's famous cardigan is now on display at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta, Ga., while, according to People magazine, Cobain's was recently auctioned for an astonishing and record-breaking $334,000.
And Reynolds can still be spotted rocking his favourite knitwear.
Who wants a cardigan
Since the premiere of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, cardigan searches have increased across North America. According to Poshmark, searches for cardigans by men increased 79% since the movie premiered, while purchases of men's cardigans have increased by 108% — and purchases of men's red cardigans has increased by 104%!
Top-selling cardigans? Lacoste, rag & bone, Polo By Ralph Lauren and All Saints were some of the top-selling men's cardigan brands across the U.S., with the southern states favouring Polo while rag & bone was all over New York State's face.

Jonathan N.United Kingdom
If it were possible to give 6 stars out of 5 we would do! Ravi really engaged with our family (including 2 daughters). From the minute he met us on the train platform this was much more than just a tour of the sites but a genuine cultural experience of the city. Ravi's level of English was excellent and along with his honesty we felt safe with him at all times. Highlights were the trip to the Osian desert, our walk-through the Blue City and meeting his family. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Christine KenderesUnited States
The Blue City Tour was the BEST and Ravindra was by far the best tour guide I had during my trip to India! He was very knowledgeable about the city, had great English, and was very accommodating to our needs. We arrived at the airport at 2pm and wanted to take the 2pm tour so he agreed to meet us at our hotel at 3pm! He took us around the blue city and we took a lot of pictures. He's from there so he knows all the best places for shopping, restaurants, markets, etc... and will go above and beyond!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi friend's thanks a lot for your wonderful reviews. It was a pleasure to me that I was part of your tour I hope I fulfilled your hopes. I hope I will see all of again in future. Regards Ravindra

text: California has joined the growing number of states that have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. If you are like many people here in the state, you decided to take advantage of this new law for a variety of reasons. After all, the medicinal uses of this drug are well known. Even though you don't need to use it for medical reasons, you wonder whether it could improve your health anyway, or perhaps you just like the way it makes you feel and enjoy it.

Gallery View: Videosphere
Peter Sarkisian's "Extruded Video Engine #5"
Who needs to truck in a blockbuster when you can produce a spectacular media art show from within your own collection? That's what the curators at the Albright-Knox must have thought when they dreamed up Videosphere.
A Buffalo native headlines the impressive survey—which will sprawl across the 1905 portion of the museum—but even if Cory Arcangel was not involved, there are many affinities between this exhibition and its local audience. Thanks to a strong tradition of fostering independent and experimental media carried on by, among others, UB's Department of Media Study, Squeaky Wheel, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, and the long defunct Media Study Buffalo, WNY has been a receptive audience for time-based art forms for decades.
The museum did not need to pull out every single time-based work it owns for this show, not even Bill Viola's spectacular The Messenger, acquired in 1997. Instead, the exhibition focuses almost exclusively on twenty-first century work, some of it mesmerizing projected video in the Viola tradition (like the enchanting trees of Jennifer Steinkamp's Dervish 1), some of it more immediately referential, like Phil Collins's dünya dinlemiyor (The World Won't Listen), which features young people in Turkey, Columbia, and Indonesia singing Smiths karaoke against pastoral backdrops. You can watch the Collins videos (as recorded by others) on YouTube. In their own way, they are as beautiful and poignant as the accelerated aging of Steinkamp's trees.
Cory Arcangel first became famous for his reworkings of obsolete but iconic video games like Nintendo's Super Mario. The work now owned by the Albright-Knox, MIG 29 Soviet Fighter Plane and Clouds (2005), also uses hacked video games. The use of this outmoded technology is interesting on a few levels—it draws attention to the visual aesthetics in a way less possible when it was state-of-the-art, and it's a nerdy-fun way to make serious references. Here, everything is vintage—the game, the Cold War reference, and the imagery—but the underlying threat of inevitable catastrophe is all too relevant.
Arcangel's website/blog (loaded with multiple exclamation points and smiley emoticons) is well worth a visit, especially for a crash course in the deeply ironic work of this fascinating artist.
Other artists whose names will strike a chord of recognition are veteran conceptual artist Bruce Nauman, whose projected video work appeared in the museum's 1997 Being in Time exhibition, and relative youngster Kelly Richardson, whose work was first introduced to Buffalo by Hallwalls in 2008. Nauman made neon-based artwork in the 60s and started making videos at about the same time, so the 1988 work in this show, Green Horses, could not be said to represent new technology for this artist. It does speak of his deep connection to horses and how his life as an artist is interconnected to his personal exploration of the bond between man and horse.
Richardson's videos were a highlight of the Hallwalls season in 2008 and they are sure to be equally engrossing in this show. The artist used digitally-altered video for her vaguely apocalyptic, fantastic landscapes. The falling fireballs in Exiles of the Shattered Star should be ominous, but they barely evade such easy connotations, evoking awe and fascination instead. It's a thin line, but one which the artists in this exhibition are adept at negotiating.
Videosphere runs from July 1 through October 9. Visit albrightknox.org for more info and associated events.

All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), commonly referred to as four-wheelers, and other Off Road Vehicles (ORVs or Off-Highway Vehicles – OHVs) are facing increasing regulatory pressures. The growing popularity of these recreational vehicles has resulted in grassroots movements to protect sensitive, natural areas from intrusion by ORVs. These vehicles can easily inflict damage to the landscape and there is also an emerging issue related to safety, children and ORVs.
Withpublic opinion on the side of reasonable environmental protection and safety, the debate boils down to a discussion on how much regulation is too much when it comes to limiting the access of ORVs to our public lands.
Authority Issues:
California Wilderness Coalition has a nice section of their web site devoted to information on a section of the RS 2477 Statute that was part of the Mining Act of 1866. The legislation was enacted at a time when road-building was essential to economic expansion. It reads in its entirety: "The right-of-way for the construction of highways over public lands, not reserved for public uses, is hereby granted."
Congress repealed this frontier-era statute in 1976 with the passage of the Federal Lands Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) but grandfathered valid right-of-way claims pre-dating the repeal. Title V of FLPMA established the rules and procedures under which the Bureau of Land Management(BLM) could henceforth grant such rights-of-way and was presumably intended by Congress to supplant RS 2477.
Many still view the antiquated statute as a means to claim rights-of-way across our national parks, forests, wilderness, and other public lands. These claimants try to use RS 2477 to keep open existing routes without multiple-use planning, and to re-open areas to which motorized access has been restricted or closed.
See the CWC Web Site's Section on RS2477 for a full discussion of this issue and how the Bush Administration is currently creating new rules and policies to facilitate RS 2477 claims as a way to release public land from federal jurisdiction.
Environmental Issues:
Of primary concern to many activists and organizations that are pushing for more rules governing ORVs is that their use is splintering the landscape into a disorganized and destructive web of trails and roads. They point to severe impacts to the soil, the spread of invasive plant seeds, and the disruption to sensitive and endangered wildlife as cause for regulatory intervention. Insufficient enforcement of existing regulations have resulted in thousands of miles of unauthorized routes across the landscape.
Specific policy changes that groups recommend generally intend to restrict use of ORVs to legally designated routes (that are specifically posted as open for use) and to eliminate the use of off-road vehicles within roadless and other ecologically sensitive areas. The designated routes must be established only after a regulatory agency can demonstrate that the use of ORVs will not cause adverse environmental impacts.
Safety Issues:
The Consumer Federation of America, Natural Trails and Waters Coalition, Bluewater Network and doctors have called for new national and state rules to stop the increasing number of ATV-related injuries and fatalities. Their report, All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Safety Crisis: America's Children at Risk, finds that the ATV industry's self-regulatory approach to safety, with minimal government oversight, fails to protect consumers – particularly children.
The report included a series of recommendations, many of which have been developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other health care professionals, that will better protect children, and every rider of an ATV:
- No child under 16 should be allowed to operate ATVs under any circumstances
- Every state should adopt model legislation developed by the AAP concerning licensing, training, and other aspects of ATV safety
- The Consumer Safety Products Commission (CSPC) should ban the use of adult-size ATVs by children under the age of 16 and require manufacturers to provide refunds for all three-wheel ATVs and adult-size four-wheel ATVs purchased for use by children under 16.
Natural Trails and Waters Coalition offers the following statistics:
- By the most conservative estimates, there are at least 11 million dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), snowmobiles, and jet skis in the United States, and they can go almost everywhere on our nation's public lands and waters.
- The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages 264 million acres of public land across the west and in Alaska. Nearly 93 percent of this land in the continental U.S. is open in some form to off-road vehicles.
- In Utah, 94 percent of BLM land – more than 22 million acres – is open to dirt bikes, ATVs and jeeps. In Montana and Nevada, off-road vehicles can access 99 percent of all BLM land.
- America's National Forests are criss-crossed by more than 400,000 miles of roads and routes. At least 60,000 additional miles of "ghost roads" have been blazed, largely by off-road vehicles.
- In the entire National Forest system – covering more than 190 million acres in 155 forests, only 2 forests, the Hoosier in Indiana and the Monongahela in West Virginia, do not allow off-road vehicle use.
The Public Supports Common Sense Limits
Off-road vehicle use on public lands will surely be an important and controversial issue in the coming years. Communities, states and the Federal goverment all have a potential role in balancing the interests of environmental protection and safety with personal freedom and rights to access our public lands. Here are a selection of the best web resources that we could find on the subject.
- The State Environmental Resource Center has a model state bill for regulating ORVs.
- MN Laws 2003 – Chapter 128 [Omnibus Environment, Natural Resources, Agriculture, Economic Development and Housing Appropriations Bill]
This law increased the restrictions on the use of off-highway vehicles, which include off-highway motorcycles, off-road vehicles (commonly known as 4x4s), and all-terrain vehicles. It requires an operator certificate for operation of off-highway vehicles on public lands. It also provides civil citation authority for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to enforce off-highway vehicle laws, limits off-highway vehicle operation on state lands to designated routes and expands the purposes for which money in dedicated off-highway vehicle accounts can be spent to include more enforcement, restitution for property damage, and increased grants-in-aid for local safety and maintenance programs.Unfortunately, in 2005 the law was gutted and instead of protecting a large swath of Minnesota from OHVs, provisions now allowed OHVs to ride off-trail in areas north of U.S. Highway 2, which affects 74 percent of total state forest lands. The 2003 law said:
Sec. 21. [84.777] [OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE USE OF STATE LANDS RESTRICTED.] (a) Except as otherwise allowed by law or rules adopted by the commissioner, effective June 1, 2003, notwithstanding sections 84.787 to 84.805 and 84.92 to 84.929, the use of off-highway vehicles is prohibited on state land administered by the commissioner of natural resources, and on county-administered forest land within the boundaries of a state forest, except on roads and trails specifically designated and posted by the commissioner for use by off-highway vehicles.
(b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to county-administered and within a state forest if the county board adopts a resolution that modifies restrictions on the use of off-highway vehicles on county-administered land within the forest.
- Blue Water Network has a section on ORVs
- California Wilderness Coalition has a Defense of the Wild Program
From the deserts of southern California to northern California's ancient forests, scenic and ecologically invaluable places are threatened by logging, oil exploration, off-road vehicle usage, mining, and other unwise uses. The California Wilderness Coalition's Defense of the Wild Program champions the protection of these de facto wilderness areas. These lands are of immeasurable value as wild habitat, yet are not protected from development. The Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service manage more than forty million acres in California. Yet protected wilderness makes up only a fraction of that land. The rest of it can be logged, roaded, mined, or otherwised degraded.
- Natural Trails and Waters Coalition
The Natural Trails and Waters Coalition works to protect and restore all public lands and waters from the severe damage caused by dirt bikes, jet skis and all other off-road vehicles. Our website is designed to be a resource for the media, activists, and others wanting to know more about the impacts of off-road vehicles on natural resources, wildlife, and public health and safety.
- Sierra Club
The Sierra Club has many of their local chapters working on ATV and ORV issues, just search their site for ATV and you'll find many resources to choose from.
- State Environment Resource Center has a section on Innovative State ORV Legislation
- Wildlands Center for Preventing Roads has a section on ORVs
Wildlands CPR envisions a tapestry of interconnected roadless wildlands where surrounding human residents would understand that their well-being is inextricably linked to the health of these wildland ecosystems. Removing roads and limiting motorized recreation are key steps to restoring nature to a healthy and functioning whole.
- The Wilderness Society has a section on ORV's and a section titled, Off-Road Vehicles and Public Lands: Balanced Policy Needed
The Wilderness Society notes that tens of millions of Americans visit public lands and waters every year to experience scenic wonders, our rich cultural heritage, and the naturalness and solitude of our last remaining Wilderness areas. Americans understand that there must be a balance between different types of users of lands and waters. Indeed, our system of public lands, the most diverse in the world, was developed with that balance in mind. But we are losing that balance today as dirt bikes, snowmobiles, jet skis, and other off-road vehicles push further and further into the backcountry, causing pollution and other impacts on our public lands, and displacing other visitors. Citizens nationwide support common-sense limits on off-road vehicles to protect public lands and waters, wildlife, other recreational experiences, and public health and safety.

What is a virtual phone system? How can it help my business?
U.S. Consumers Applaud Patriotic and Socially Conscious Entrepreneurs
As a business owner, you've got two precious insights into the minds of consumers: personal business analytics and definitive national trends. Both are absolutely vital for understanding prospective development directions and winning new, happy customers.
While studying personal analytics is the process unique to every business, evaluating nationwide consumer trends provides you with a bird's eye view of customer expectations. Luckily, accomplishing the latter isn't just easier – it's extremely simple thanks to Cox Business and their 2019 Cox Consumer Pulse Survey.
In April 2019, Cox Business researched consumer trends in its annual survey to hear the latest word Americans have to say about their expectations towards small business. Today, when the results are finally in, sharing in the benefits is as simple as thoughtfully applying the findings to your own business model.
Americans are proud of their products
If you're like most Americans, "Made in the USA" is more than just a label for you. Buying domestically-manufactured merchandise is a source of national pride and a way to show support for businesses that invest in domestic economy.
In 2019, over 70% of consumers surveyed by the Cox Consumer Survey said that they not only prefer Made in the USA products over imported ones but are actually willing to spend more money on American-made goods.
A similar attitude governs the support for local business. And it's not just about convenience! 53% of respondents said that local businesses provide better customer service than large businesses while 38% and 35% noted loyalty and increased trustworthiness, respectively.
For entrepreneurs, patriotic and local consumer tendencies can be a terrific boost to business identity. If you have a business specializing in domestically or locally grown/produced foods, or creative/ hand-made products, be sure to let consumers know that they have special reason to be proud of buying from you!
Supporting a cause makes a huge difference for local business
Today's consumers are very socially conscious. They want to not only buy great products but support businesses that leave a deeper trace in the world. In this regard, sustainable businesses and those that support a social or environmental cause are at the forefront of customer satisfaction.
The 2019 Cox Consumer Pulse survey shows that 71% of U.S. consumers wish small businesses to be more active in promoting the causes they support. A similar number of people (72%) said that diverse and inclusive hiring plays a positive role in their interactions with a business.
Modern trends show that businesses should partner up with volunteer/charity organizations that matter to them and that have resonance in their community. When you support a worthy cause, your business manifests itself in whole new ways. As a result, customers gain a new perspective of your work and the people behind it – and want to become a part of it.
Sharing means caring for your customers
Advertising business services often feels like walking the fine line between too little and too much. How do you know whether your customers are getting enough attention or feel like they're being spammed with frequent shout-outs? And what's the best channel for marketing?
The 2019 Cox Consumer Pulse survey shows that entrepreneurs should be more afraid of being overly prudish rather than over-advertising. Most consumers admit they'd like to receive more information and product recommendations from their favorite businesses when it's done in a polite, non-intrusive way.
60% of Cox survey respondents said they'd like to hear more often from local business via email newsletters, while 38% opted for social media outreach. A lot of people also noted that their favorite shops are very active via digital channels such as e-mail (68%) Facebook (66%) Instagram (33%) text messages (31%) and Twitter (20%).
Whichever channel you choose to bring out your business, remember that usefulness to your target audience is key to positive marketing.
Entrepreneurship education is the future of small business
In addition to consumer satisfaction issues, Cox Business included a special question on their agenda, a question that may define the future of small business in the U.S.: when should entrepreneurship education start?
The answer agreed on by over three quarters of the respondents clearly proves the evolving perception of business ownership in the modern world: 78% percent believe that entrepreneurship education should start way before college and enter the K-12 curriculum.
This means that most of today's consumers actually want their kids to be entrepreneurs, or at least, to gain critical business skills at an early age – and that the future of small business is much closer than we think!

I am in favor for a mainline inclusion through linux-mtd tree. On the AT91 side, we will have to take this inclusion into account to avoid merge conflicts... But as long as this cleanup is not ready yet, I prefer to go forward this way. For that purpose, that would be good to see this patch in linux-next. Thanks to all of you, bye, -- Nicolas Ferre

I'll be the first to admit, sometimes, it takes me months to complete a project. Our living room is no exception. Last July, I began working on our living room. Pieces trickled in over the months, I'd get inspired to do more, then sidetracked by holidays and even experienced a little mishap. While it's not yet complete, I wanted to share with you my work in progress. That's what life is after all, right?
Chris and I have very different tastes. He is modern and I'm traditional. I also wanted to keep the space functional for the girls and comfortable for all. Our other priorities included having plenty of seating for guests. We didn't deviate much from the floor plan I designed. We can easily seat 11, and honestly more if we utilize the "ottoman" and get a little cozy.

Hi Julie — do you mind letting me know what the measurement of the other (smaller) RH Belgian linen couch is? Is it a 5′ or 6′ couch? Thank you!
OMG! Julie your room is so lovely. I have no words to explain how beautiful it is.
julie, its look awesome and dream home room.
OMG! Dear Julie to be very frankly your living room is so lovely! I had a crush on your living room. I would soon contact your to get some ideas for my living room.
Love the beautiful chandelier! The white walls sure opens things up and makes the room look full of life. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Hi Julie – This room looks beautiful! Where are the mocha cushions from? Which color? Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond.
After seeing your clean and fancy hourse, I also want to change my hourse. Could you give some advice about how to find this furniture?
I love your living room! I really like the brass floor lamps. Can you share the source? I found your site through Emiliy Clark's.
Dear Julie,
I messaged you back a while ago about the rug and you kindly responded. I am hoping you will respond with a follow up question I have. Does the rug shed a lot? I have two small boys and we are always on the floor so I am hoping for a low shedding rug.
Your home is so beautiful. I love the simple clean lines and how you've taken an edited approach. I will be moving and would like to completely change up my "Old World/Tuscan look to something like this. I love your family room rug. Can you tell me the purchase info? Thank you, #readytogetridoftheclutter
Your home is just lovely and so very calming and peaceful! Wondered if it would be possible to find out where you got your ottoman. I've been looking for exactly that piece….would be so appreciative of your source. Thanks so much and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
I love how you redesigned your living room. I think the color white is the perfect theme in your house to make it look more light and vibrant too. I wish I could have atleast half of your creativity, Julie! Good job to you.
Thank you Connie, you're so kind! I hope some of my ideas and tips help as you decorate your home.
It's amazing how simple pieces of stuff could create a good impact on your living room. It's basically just a matter of putting the right stuff at the right place. Oh, how I love mixing up things.
I'm impressed with the selection of couches you have for your living room. They're pretty big, but for some reason I don't think they're cluttering the room at all. Must be because of the color scheme.
Holly, the living room was not without compromise! We blended our styles to create a space we could both learn to love. Best wishes to you when you purchase furniture next. I know it can be stressful!
I envy those people who can design and plot their own house by whatever they want on it to be. My husband and I sometimes argue which sofa to buy, what more to decide where to put it. But kudos to you, Julie. You did a wonderful design on your living room. The sofa-like long chair in the middle made it superb.
Patricia, I used to use a lot of color, but love using neutrals because I can change the entire look of the room with a few accessories-pillows, throws, art and even objects on the shelves. You can do the same with orange, finding a couple things that will play well together. Feel free to send a photo if you'd like any tips/ideas!
I noticed that you love white themed rooms. I love orange and white carpet so I guess I might change a little detail of that room.
Thanks Selena, I totally understand! We have 2 kids and 1 on the way, but fortunately we haven't had any issues. The fabric is very stain repellant and if ever needed, can be removed to be cleaned. I was originally going to choose a dark grey fabric (fog), but it was so much more expensive.
It's absolutely gorgeous! I would like to use white theme in our house too, but I'm delaying it for now because I have 2 kids at home. We all know how messy they can be. So it's definitely a no-no for me as of the moment.
Superb interior design. I am sure that the one the designed this has knowledge in interior design. It shows on the arrangement of the furniture and the motif on the walls.
Thanks Jenna! It's every bit as relaxing as I hoped it would be. Well worth it!
Fantastic color scheme. Purity and cleanliness on every photo. The brightness from the sunlight added a heavenly look to it.
Thanks Marguerite!
I love your living room, very beautiful and elegant. Those couch looks so soft and comfy. White paint really does wonders to a room, it brightens up the whole place, making it look clean and spacious. These really inspired me to do a minor makeover in our house.
Thanks Ava! There's nothing more beautiful than natural light.
I'm so glad I found and apartment that's as neat and bright as your house. Thanks for your pictures! You inspired me to clean more and open my windows during daytime!
Thank you!
Your living room's so lovely! My friend moved in next to my apartment unit, and she did that to the living room. But she used a bit darker shade.
The room reminds me of condominiums in Manila for some reason. I prefer dark colors for the bedroom but I think I might renovate my room and paint the walls with white color for a change.

Quick and Dirty – Old CD's into Scenic Monster Bases
Okay, who here does NOT have a stack of old CD's laying around? If you don't, you are under 20 years old or entirely too tidy. I have a stack of these tucked into a back drawer to use for basing smaller terrain pieces, hanging outside windows to keep birds from crashing into them, drink coasters, and even for a very dangerous game of catch (seriously, this can hurt you!). However, probably the best use for these derelict storage media is as scenic bases for larger models.
Many larger models don't come from the manufacturer with bases and I think that this makes it harder to tie the models visually to the rest of your force. Good basing gives context to your models and that helps the entire group of figures look like an army. This is especially important when your force might not have uniforms or insignia or a regimented paint scheme. Also, it annoys me to no end that I might spend $200 on a really nice resin piece (I'm looking at you Forge World) and then having no base to mount it on. This means 1) I'll be handling the model by the painted surfaces and 2) the bottom edges of the model can get dinged and nicked as you move it along the table, and 3) a visually stunning pose might result in a very "tippy" figure that will crash over – breaking the model and your heart. The long and short of it is that you should base your larger models.
The Golden Daemon winning Greater Daemon of Nurgle above was based on used CD's. The CD base was then inset into a larger scenic base that helped to frame the model and give it some context. The extra space offered by the base gave me some room to create a vignette – to visually tell a story. This added detail can help draw the interest of viewers and get them to spend more time examining your work (pro tip – the longer the judges are looking at your model, the more likely you are to be recognized for your work). The base has no impact on gaming as the model didn't come with one. We still measure to the model. I just make sure to confirm with my opponent BEFORE the game starts as to how we will play the piece.
So, as most things in our hobby, there are good and bad ways to do things. I'll start first with some don'ts.
- DON'T base your model on a single CD. They are too flexible for holding any weight. Also, the edge will be too thin for you to pick up easily from the table.
- DON'T glue or paint directly on to a CD. The surface is too slick for real adhesion. It truly sucks to get done painting a great base only to have the finish to peel right off.
- DON'T paint on a labeled surface. Labels must be removed or they may peel up later or even have their inks bleed through into the painted layer above.
- DON'T try to cut CDs with clippers or cutters. They are brittle and made of layered materials with various properties. At best, you get a lousy edge. At worst, it shatters and you get cut.
- DON'T throw CDs at others. Seriously. I have the scar to prove how bad an idea this is. Just because I used to jump out of airplanes doesn't mean I haven't got SOME sense.
Now, here is how you DO want to proceed.
My recommendation is that you use 3 CDs for a base. Just one or 2 is too thin.
To be able to glue the very slick faces of the disks to each other you will need to roughen up the surface. I just lay a sheet of medium-coarse sand paper (100-200 grit) on a flat surface that I have covered with old newspaper and rub the CD on that. Putting the paper on a tabletop is preferable to holding it in your hand. Varying the pressure or angle can give you uneven results as well as getting funky-colored dust on your hands. This means a poor join when gluing them together. No fancy technique needed. (Be sure to wear a mask at this stage. I'm not completely sure what all is in the dust but I am sure that it doesn't belong in my lungs.)
Just apply light downward pressure and use a swirling motion. I go ahead and sand both faces of all three disks. The glue for your basing material will need something to hold on to. Also, the bottom surface IS going to get scratched during game play. Get it over with now and you'll never notice a difference later.
Now is the stage where you decide what you are going to do about the hole sited rather obnoxiously in the center of your new base. If the model or some bit of scenery will completely cover the gap, you are great. Move on to gluing. If not, you can glue a thin but sturdy piece of plasticard or cardboard (cereal packet for you Europeans) over the hole. Placing the patch on the bottom means that the finished piece will wobble. A patch between layers means the layered CDs will bulge or gap. Stick to the top. I have tried plugging the hole with Greenstuff and even wood filler. This turns out to use a wasteful amount and the plug is prone to popping out later.
The next stage is assembly and gluing. Dryfit the three pieces together and see how they line up. Guess what? They likely wont align exactly. Despite what you might think about "standardization" amongst interchangeable media, there is some slight variation in size between brands. For most situations the slight unevenness wont be readily visible once the edge is painted (you DO paint the edges of your bases, don't you?). If the difference bothers you then you must have a bit of the old obsessive compulsive going on – like me. Once the pieces are glued together and have had a chance to set you can sand the edges. I make quick work of this by using a Dremel tool fitted with a sanding drum. If you really want to go all out, you can sand the edge to a bevel like your smaller bases. For gluing, I just use cyano-acrylate (super glue) dabbed in a couple places around the center hole and then a good solid line right at the outer edge. Be sure to have a couple small clamps to hold the drying pieces together. A brick or other heavy object placed on top will hold them together but may not ensure the edges dry with no gap. A firm wrapping with packaging tape might do in a pinch as long as it is the kind that will not leave sticky residue behind. You can use an epoxy for this application but I hate cleaning up the dribbles that squeeze out. Whatever your adhesive, let the adhesive cure for the full time. And, unless you have accelerator, let your super glue cure for at least an hour. You want to make sure the piece is stable and set before you begin to sand or texture your base.
To decorate your base you can let your imagination run wild. Anything you put on an ordinary base can go onto one of these CD bases. Sand, gravel, rocks, bits, bodies, gubbins… whatever. I glue down heavier items first with super glue. The plastic bits and your sand and gravel can go down next with the same white craft glue you use on regular bases. If you don't want a completely flat surface, you can use wood putty to build up bulges and ridges.
For larger raised areas I tend to use pieces of sheet cork. This is the material that bulletin boards and drink coasters are made of. I get packets of 4 10″x10″ sheets for a couple bucks at a local craft store. I found it in their stationary and scrap booking area. Breaking these sheets into chunks and then stacking them can give better height to your model, break up what would be an overly flat surface, or just to add visual interest to the whole piece.
I drizzled white glue onto this disk between the cork patches. This creates an irregular, fluid-looking surface that I later painted up to look like flowing lava.
The choice of painting the base before or after mounting your model is completely up to you. Because I tend to paint my larger models in sub-assemblies, the models tend to be mounted after painting. However, some pieces (like the feet of a titan) could use a foundation during their construction as well as something to hold while painting. Make mounting your model to the base a part of your project planning. Take a few minutes to visualize how you plan to assemble and paint the piece so that the mounting process wont cause damage to either the model or base. Also, if you are going to use pins to reinforce the attachment of the model to the base (PLEASE DO THIS), drill down through the base with it resting on a sturdy, flat surface. You don't want to stab through the base and into your hand or slip and scrape off the basing materials and paint. Also ensure that the surface below the base is protected from the drill bit as it passes through. I use an old kitchen cutting board the I got at a salvage sale.
Items you will need:
- 3 old compact disks
- medium-coarse sand paper (100-200 grit)
- super glue or epoxy
- dust mask
- clamps, a couple bricks, or tape
- white glue
- basing materials: sand, cork, plasticard, gravel, bits, … go wild.
- Dremel tool with sanding drum (optional)
Model makers have gotten better in recent years about including appropriate size gaming bases with their larger models. However, there are still many times when a model needs or would be better served by having a scenic base. If you have hands steady enough to cut perfect circles out of wooden sheet with a saw, you can make your bases out of that. For me, I'll keep recycling my old CD's as needed instead of adding them to the landfill. I hope that this helps some of you. Feel free to share and comment.
