The planet's prodigious poo problem
|Each year, livestock produces billions of tonnes of excrement. It's starting to poison the natural world. So what is to be dung?
Recent research has estimated that by 2030, the planet will be generating at least 5bn tonnes of poo each year, with the vast majority being deposited by livestock. With 80% of farms in the Netherlands already producing more cow dung than they can legally use as fertiliser, and China resorting to drastic measures to try to reduce the amount of manure being discharged into rivers, scientists say this is a major environment and health challenge.
"It's a huge problem," says Joe Brown, professor of environmental engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. "Animal waste is going up because as populations and wealth increase, there's a bigger demand for protein. But while we've seen lots of initiatives to safely manage human waste, nobody is talking about this."
Despite extensive Environmental Agency regulations, the UK's dairy, poultry and pig farms were responsible for 424 incidents of serious pollution related to waste disposal between 2010 and 2016.
With the UK's cows already producing 36m tonnes in waste every year -- enough to fill the Shard 78 times over -- and many dairy farmers feeling the pinch from tumbling milk prices, safely disposing of these mounds of toxic mess is a serious and expensive conundrum.
What are the knock-on environmental risks?
Because most first world farming systems are highly concentrated, industrial operations, this produces very concentrated streams of waste. Unless these are dealt with rapidly, they can pollute the air with large amounts of harmful gases such as ammonia, nitrous oxide and hydrogen sulphide.
Inhaling these toxic fumes can be lethal in large quantities, and studies have repeatedly shown that people who live near industrial farms have a much greater risk of chronic asthma, respiratory irritation, immune suppression, and even mood disorders.
Water pollution and climate change are also issues.
Moreover, the greenhouse gas methane is produced in large quantities when waste is left to decay uncontrollably. Many scientists believe animal waste is already a vastly overlooked component of climate change. "When methane is first released, it's around 80 times worse than CO2 at trapping heat, and that continues for 10-20 years until it becomes oxidised and its global warming potential is reduced," says Philip Longhurst, a professor at Cranfield University's centre for climate and environmental protection. "When you look at sources of methane emissions across Europe, agricultural waste is probably in the top three."
In China, where production of animal protein increased nearly five-fold as part of its dramatic economic growth between 1980 and 2010, methane from animal waste is thought to be one of the main reasons why greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere doubled during the same period.
What about water pollution?
So far, it's the impact of manure on waterways that has received the most attention. This either occurs through accidental spillages, flooding or farmers deliberately dumping excess waste into rivers. Investigations have found that the latter practice is still commonplace, despite being illegal in many countries.
The ecological consequences are typically drastic, with the high levels of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrates in manure leading to the spread of waterborne pathogens, and the growth of harmful algal blooms. The latter can poison wildlife by releasing deadly neurotoxins, and if they become widespread in fresh and marine water, they can end up getting into the food chain and being consumed by humans.
As an example, in China, more than half the freshwater lakes have become polluted, which has led to the rise of diseases such as cholera in many rural communities. Unless more effective ways are found to deal with the increasing amounts of animal manure, some scientists predict that by 2050, large swathes of the country's rivers will see a 100%-200% increase in phosphorus and nitrate pollution.
"Water pollution is a one of the biggest problems resulting from ineffective disposal of animal waste," says Oene Oenema, a professor at Wageningen University, who has spent many years researching agricultural pollution across Asia. "When waste is being disposed of in rivers, and then transported to lakes and coastal zones, fish disappear, the water becomes dark and black, and there's a high risk of infections being transmitted to humans. In parts of China, there are still discharges directly into service water."
What are the risks to human health?
Some of the most direct health risks posed by increasing amounts of animal waste are likely to come in parts of the world such as Africa, India and much of south-east Asia where communities still live in close contact with their livestock. As these economies grow and become increasingly urbanised in decades to come, the demand for protein will rise sharply, as will the amount of dung.
"This issue will be most acute in places which see massive population increases, such as parts of eastern and southern Asia, and areas of sub-Saharan Africa," Brown says.
While many sanitation initiatives across sub-Saharan Africa have focused solely on human waste, scientists fear they have overlooked a much greater problem. "There have been a number of studies in low-income countries, where human sanitation for people was improved, but outcomes like diarrhoea didn't change," says Jan-Willem Rosenboom, senior programme officer for sanitation and hygiene at the Gates Foundation. "This could be because there's already so much animal waste in the environment, that merely improving human sanitation doesn't have enough of an impact on health."
While centralised farming systems, such as those in Europe and the US, mean that humans avoid direct exposure to animal poo, this is far more commonplace in many low and middle income countries, meaning that enteric infections are still a common cause of death, especially in children. Scientists suspect that many of these deadly infections are zoonotic -- which means they can be transmitted directly from animals, or their waste, to humans -- and in countries where farmers use high amounts of antibiotics in their livestock, many of these strains may be antibiotic resistant.
"A lot of the animals used in livestock production are reservoirs of zoonotic infections," Brown says. "So we know, for example, that chickens can transmit salmonella, or hepatitis A, and cows are known to be a source of cryptosporidium exposure. These infections can have long-term outcomes such as malnutrition, anaemia and even cognitive problems."
Exploiting animal poo to produce environmentally friendly energy through anaerobic digesters requires vast slurry stores to hold the manure, which are prone to either leaking or collapsing. Investigations have found that a store big enough to hold all the waste produced by 100 cows costs UK farmers tens of thousands of pounds, meaning that for many it's more economically viable to pay a fine for illegally disposing waste than buying a new slurry store.
At the more exotic end of innovation, some companies are convinced they can take waste and turn it into furniture, paper and even clothing.
These are unlikely to make a big difference. A systemic approach to safe management of this waste is going to be needed.
What next?
In 2006, the UN published a landmark report, titled Livestock's Long Shadow, highlighting the serious environmental and health problems posed by the growing amounts of animal waste, and calling for urgent action. However, little progress is being made.
China has attempted to lead the way, announcing strict regulations for the disposal of livestock waste in 2015, emphasising the need for farmers to recycle manure as a replacement for synthetic fertilisers. However, despite the threat of severe fines, critics still question whether these laws will prove effective.
Small-scale projects are under way, such as the efforts of a team of scientists from the University of Vienna who are partnering with various farms across Europe and helping them convert animal poo into paper. But while the potential of new revenue streams could spur more farmers worldwide into taking action to deal with waste, there remains a dire need for new policies, initiatives and conferences to discuss how to deal with the impending problem on a large scale.
In 2016, the Environmental Journal castigated "governmental apathy" surrounding the problem. Three years on, little has changed. "There's a massive policy gap around the world on how to safely manage animal waste, despite all the risks it presents," Brown says. "It's a huge missing piece, and it's been overlooked for so long. In the US, there's very little regulation at all on how to deal with animal waste. That's the same around the world. There's no systematic approach to the safe management and reuse of this waste, even though it does end up getting into the environment and leads to downstream exposures to people."
Solutions to a crappy problem
By 2030, world's total faecal output is likely to contain 100m tonnes of phosphorus, 30m tonnes of potassium, and 18m tonnes of calcium. These are all valuable minerals which if tapped, could be recycled back into the global agriculture system.
In addition, waste emissions such as methane can be converted into electricity through biogas generators, as recently highlighted by a British inventor who built a street lamp powered entirely by dog poo. "Methane is a very versatile fuel," Longhurst says. "It can be used to generate electrical power, domestic and industrial heating, and even in transport. In the coming years there's going to be increased pressure for countries across Europe and beyond, who are concerned about climate change, to control methane emissions from animal waste and make greater use of it."
Waste could also be seen as a valuable asset, though whether it can be exploited by the majority of farmers remains to be seen. "If you're living in an urban environment, you may not have the space to install a generator and it could seem easier to let your waste wash away," says Eric Fevre, professor of veterinary infectious diseases at the University of Liverpool. "It also requires access to financing to invest in a generator. And it requires time and labour to use that waste. But the hope is that the cost benefit is greater than the initial expenditure, and so it starts to happen on a larger scale."

The vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedure generates weight loss by restricting the amount of food (and therefore calories) that can be eaten by removing 85% or more of the stomach, without bypassing the intestines or causing any gastrointestinal malabsorption. It is a purely restrictive operation.
Check with your insurance company to see if the vertical sleeve procedure is a covered benefit for you.
This procedure works by several mechanisms. First, the new stomach pouch holds a considerably smaller volume than the normal stomach and helps to significantly reduce the amount of food (and thus calories) that can be consumed. The surgery also positively affects gut hormones that in turn impact a number of factors including hunger, satiety, and blood sugar control.
Short term studies show that the sleeve is as effective as the roux-en-Y gastric bypass in terms of weight loss and improvement or remission of diabetes.
There is also evidence that suggest the sleeve, similar to the gastric bypass, is effective in improving type 2 diabetes independent of the weight loss.

Antique Chinese Child's Feeding Chair Stroller.
To View All of our Antique Chinese Chairs, Benches and Stools Click Here
This unusual child's seat was designed to function in many different ways. You would use it as a play seat when the front shelf is intact. The round cutout in the front shelf is removable. You would place bowl in the hole when the cutout is removed. Then this piece would then become a feeding chair. The entire top, as well as the seat can be taken out. With everything removed it is possible this chair became a wash tub. The sides are constructed with vertical slats and metal bands, very much like barrel or bucket construction. This would allow the chair to hold water, so the tub seems logical.
There are also 4 wooden wheels to allow for moving the chair with relative ease.
The piece is finished in a nice warm red lacquer. This piece is a wonderful conversation piece and we are selling it as such. We are not selling it to be used as it's original intent as it would not comply with current safety standards.

Year 7 Girls Super 8s Cricket - State Finals
- 27 Nov 2018
Congratulations to our Year 7 Girls Super 8s cricket team who participated in the SSV State Finals on Tuesday 27 November. On the day the girls participated in three matches against Bairnsdale SC, Springside West SC, and traditional rivals Balwyn HS.
In the City v Country Derby in Round 1, the girls from Bairnsdale were too strong with the bat as they coasted to an easy victory. However, the girls bounced back smashing Springside West SC and Balwyn around the park to finish the day with two wins and 3rd place in the State.
Well done to all the girls in the team, and special credit to our team leaders Casandra Joseph and Aspen Lehmann.

Rest is not best when it comes to healing: in fact, it may be counterproductive to your health plan to recover from any injury involving back pain. Being sedentary while recovering encourages stiffening, which can make both joints and tissues more susceptible to injury. Supportive muscles, especially those in the core, also stiffen and atrophy which can be a slippery slope for injuries like herniation in the lumbar region. Furthermore, intervertebral discs will dry out and stiffen when they are not used for long periods of time.
Now that all the bad news is out of the way, we can focus on how to use activity to your advantage. While "resuming normal activity as soon as possible," may be impossible depending on the degree of pain, there are small steps you can take to keep the structures and tissues of your body moving to avoid weakening. Before starting any new health plan, especially one to heal an injury, it is wise to confer with a medical professional to determine your limitations and a healthy level of activity.
Ways that you can maintain a level of activity even with back pain include:
At Family Chiropractic & Natural Healing Center, we know that every injury is individual. We also know one thing that most of them share (excluding the most serious ones) is that their healing time can be improved with regular activity.

As I've alluded to before, I have anxiety issues. Probably good 'ol social anxieties. I take 100mg of Setraline (brand name: Zoloft) daily. Have so for well over a decade. But over the last 10 weeks, I've only ventured out to be social twice including this holiday weekend. I think I went out 4-5 weeks ago. I think it's time for a new approach, because only going to work and shopping when I absolutely need to is not healthy when you're already single.
Unfortunately, I haven't had the energy to get off the couch. And when I have, I've been afraid of socialising because I feel that I've become too awkward to do so. And sometimes, both happen at the sametime. I just can't relax. Shit, when I leave for work in the morning will be the first time I've been outside since I drove home from work Friday.
...I'm trying to get my shit together but I think it's time to ask for help. And it's not the type of help I want to ask for.
Tired of ranting. I will be asleep by the time this goes live.

Copper Cop Tagged Picabo
Denver, CO, Nov. 15, 2001 (AP by Solomon Banda)--Picabo Street was kicked off the mountain for skiing too fast.
The Olympic gold medalist and other members of the U.S. ski team were practicing Nov. 3 at Copper Mountain Ski Resort. She was stopped when she went onto an intermediate run.
``She wasn't out of control,'' resort spokeswoman Beth Jahnigen said Wednesday. ``Given the number of people in a small area, they felt it was too fast. The patrol who stopped her didn't even know who she was.''
Jahnigen did not know how fast Street was skiing.
Street was asked not to ski the rest of the day. She has since been at the resort training for the Feb. 8-24 Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
``She was in the wrong and the action that was taken was appropriate and we apologized to the mountain,'' ski team spokesman Tom Kelly said.
Street won a silver medal at the 1994 Lillehammer Games and a gold in the super-G at the 1998 Nagano Games. A month later she broke a leg and shattered a knee during a race in Switzerland.
In Street's recent autobiography she writes about being an 18-year-old rebel who despised exercise and authority, and who was kicked off the U.S. ski team in 1990 for being out of shape.

The Calgary Stampeders aren't going to rush anyone dealing with a head injury back into action.
For now, that means the team is ruling out both starting running back Don Jackson and receiver Juwan Brescacin for Saturday's big tilt in Regina against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
"Definitely Don, I'm going to rule Don out. Don's not going to play," said Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson. "Take a little pressure off him anyways, on that.
"I've gotta rule Bresc out, as well. I'm a coach, I understand these types of things with injuries, especially with concussions and all that. Brescacin has been coming to meetings. I believe there's improvement but we're always going to side with caution when it comes to these things."
Brescacin left last weekend's game against the B.C. Lions after getting his head smashed into the turf during a fight for the ball with the Lions defensive back T.J. Lee, while Jackson left the game late in the fourth quarter.
Both were undergoing concussion protocol earlier in the week and the Stampeders chose to make the decision to keep them out of this weekend's lineup early.
It likely means that Ka'Deem Carey is going to get a start at running back and split duties with Terry Williams — more on that later — while it's expected that Richard Sindani will see a lot more action at receiver.
Rookie Canadian receiver Hergy Mayala also suffered an injury prior to Saturday's game and it's unclear how long he'll be unavailable.
The injuries to Brescacin and Jackson only add to an already-lengthy list of injuries for the Stampeders that is headlined by the uncertainty surrounding quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, who is getting a second opinion on an MRI that was conducted Tuesday.
The defensive line is badly beat-up, too, while defensive backs Tre Roberson and Brandon Smith did not participate in practice on Wednesday.
"(Roberson) is fighting a hip a little bit," Dickenson said. "We had a lot of guys who are sore. I sure hope he plays, he's doing great, so we'll see.
"Smitty's close, that would be awesome if he could come out and do some things tomorrow. He's vital to our success, he's close."
The Stamps are hoping for a little luck with Roberson and Smith, but one way or another there are likely to be some faces that are unfamiliar to fans in the team's lineup against the Riders.
"We definitely finished practice with a young, young roster," Dickenson said. "We're already a young team, anyways. If your number's called, let's go. Let's play and go execute."
When the Stampeders kicked and retrieved an onside kick late in last weekend's game against the Lions, it was a little weird to see third-string quarterback Montell Cozart out on the field.
As it turns out, it was Cozart's first time ever being in that situation.
"Never, I've never done that in my life," Cozart said. "It was, like, the second-to-last drive and our special teams coach (Mark Kilam) came up to me and said 'We're going to score here and put you in at special teams' because Brescacin went down and Hergy had gone down in pre-game.
"I guess it was next-man-up and he wanted me to go in there."
Cozart may see a lot more playing time this weekend against the Riders, depending on Mitchell's availability.
If backup Nick Arbuckle takes over the starting duties, it could mean that Cozart gets in for short-yardage situations.
With the uncertainty surrounding Mitchell's health, however, Cozart admitted he wasn't entirely sure what the coaching staff's plan was for him.
Dickenson made it sound as if Cozart had the confidence of the coaching staff if they need him to play.
"He could do short yardage, I'm confident in Montell," Dickenson said. "He's got a good arm, he can throw it downfield with the best of them. It's just decision-making and a little bit of accuracy, but I feel like Montell has some similarities to a guy like (Ottawa Redblacks quarterback) Dominique Davis.
"Dom has obviously taken that next step, but I'm confident in Montell."
If Carey and Williams are splitting duties at running back, it could fulfill Dickenson's pre-season wish to give defences different looks in the run game.
Wiliams is as fast as anyone in the league, while Carey plays a tough, physical game and likes to go heavily into contact.
"That's going to be tough," Carey said. "When you've got that speedster out there trying to hit those corners and me hitting the middle, that's going to be tough for a defence."
Eric Rogers was named one of the CFL's three players of the week for his performance in the Stamps' win over the Lions. Rogers finished with three touchdown receptions and two catches on two-point converts … Honestly, good luck guessing who is starting on the Stampeders defensive line against the Riders. The media at Wednesday's practice tried to figure it out based on who was participating, but we definitely failed.

The cylindrical body of this millipede measures up to 47 millimetres long and up to 5 millimetres wide, and is divided into a head and a trunk. The latter consists of between 44 and 54 segments. Each segment has two pairs of legs, from which this group of arthropods gets its name: diplopoda. The Rossiulus kessleri varies in colour from dark grey (almost black) to bright grey (usually young millipedes). When threatened, it coils itself into a spiral disc with its head to the inside. To protect itself from predators it has defensive glands on the sides of each segment, which secrete hydrocyanic acid with admixtures of other toxins, which cause severe irritation to the eyes and leave yellow or purple stains on the hands, with a strong almond smell. The body of the Rossiulus kessleri has a strong calcinated armour.
This environmentally flexible species spreads from the Kola Peninsula to the Caucasus, and from Central Ukraine to the Urals.
Rossiulus kessleri lives in the steppes, in the upper layer of the soil and in leaf mould, with as many as 200 to 300 per square metre. It is a typical saprophage, feeding on fallen leaves, decaying leaf parts and grass debris. Along with the earthworm, it plays an important role in the humification of the forest floor and in improving soil fertility. After mating in June, females lay eggs in specially built chambers in the soil, from where the young hatch in a few weeks with several segments and a soft body. As they grow, the young regularly shed their skin (ecdysis), and the number of segments grows. Diplopoda are the only invertebrates in the world characterised by periodomorphosis: in unfavourable conditions the male kessleri moults and reverts to a sexually immature stage. When favourable conditions return, it once again moults and returns to the adult state. This lengthens its overall lifespan by one and a half to two times.

11 December 2018
The African National Congress (ANC) is deeply concerned about the alien tendencies of violence that continue to bedevil the organisation. The violent confrontations that broke out amongst ANC delegates during the list conference registration and verification process at Potchefstroom, in the North West Province, on Monday afternoon points to a great lack of discipline.
We are quite incensed that some members were injured and another was hospitalised with stab wounds due to this lack of discipline and intolerance. The forceful entry to the conference venue signals ill-discipline and those involved must face the full consequences of their action.
The ANC called upon all members to respect internal democratic processes and not resort into violence. The allegation that the Provincial Task Team (PTT) manipulated the list, including the rigging of branch representation should be subjected to the ANC internal processes.
The ANC is disappointed on how members in the province continue to dent the image of the organisation. We believe that all involved must be hauled before the disciplinary committee. Any act of violence including stabbing is a criminal offence and we call on the law enforcement agencies to act swiftly against those involved.
The ANC calls for calm amongst the members in the province. We wish all injured members a speedily recovery.

Examining the Open Relationship
At the peak of racial and social trauma in the world, one could argue that the last thing society should be concerned with is who or how many people a person decides to love. Yet, sex still stands to be one of the most taboo topics in our culture. Many will reject the idea that a person can love many, but for those who choose to live this lifestyle, their decision is supported by numerous benefits.
I would have purchased front row tickets to see the reactions on people's faces as they watched world-renowned comedian, actress, and mother, Mo'Nique boast proudly about her open marriage. In a society that promotes monogamy and marriage, the boldness it takes to hold hands on a Christian-based television show and unapologetically declare that you have chosen a nontraditional arrangement should be praised.
As a proclaimed free spirit, I honor everyone's right to choose a life and love of that is pleasing to them. I've both cheated and been cheated on. I've been in love, and still desired the conversation, affection, or time of other people. As a woman who has done all of these things, I wonder if Mo'Nique and her husband are valid in believing that it's best to have an open relationship.
Polyamory is defined as the desire to have more than one intimate partner. I wonder if polyamorous relationships are a relief to all the difficulties that come with monogamous relationships, or would having more than one partner only complicate things on the home front?
While many will squirm at the idea of an open relationship, I think it's worth examining. Those who practice a non-monogamous lifestyle would argue there are multiple benefits to open relationships including:
Strengthened Communication
At the core of a polyamorous relationship is the need for strong communication. Polyamorous relationships require constant open dialogue, truthfulness, and the consideration of your partner's feelings. The constant exchange increases trust between partners, and the free flowing transparency gives permission for emotions to be addressed in a healthy way. Polyamory allows partners to openly express their attractions, desires, wishes and needs all in a way that minimizes unhealthy emotions like insecurity and jealously that is often present in more traditional unions.
You Stop Demanding Perfection in One Person
We've all heard of the 80/20 rule. It suggests that we will never get 100% of what we need from our partners. The friction occurs when we give more attention to the 20% we don't receive. In monogamous relationships, you simply learn to appreciate what you do have, instead of focusing on the 20% you are not receiving. In poly relationships however, instead of going without a portion of what you need in order to experience complete satisfaction, you and your partner seek 100% satisfaction by connecting with more than one person.
It's Not All about Sex
Most rush to judgment when it comes to polygamous relationships. Despite what the consensus may be, these relationships are less about sex and more about developing healthy, rich connections with people. Polyamorous relationships allow you the freedom to exchange energy and build healthy, empowering friendships with people who serve to connect you to your higher self. These connections may never lead to sexual intimacy.
Open Relationships Allow for Diversity
Open relationships allow partners to explore an array of emotional and sexual experiences. Compatibility is essential for a prosperous relationship. Instead of choosing to part ways with your mate because you do not align sexually or romantically, a polyamorous relationship allows you and/or your partner access to the fulfillment you need without forcing them to alter who they are to satisfy you.
Get In Tune with Who You Are
Nothing teaches you about who you are faster than relationships. Dating multiple people not only increases your personal support network, but it gives you multiple opportunities and avenues to get in touch with yourself. Personal relationships help us recognize our strengths, areas of opportunity and our needs. Different people bring out different elements of our personality. Polyamory has the ability to expedite the process of self-awareness while developing strong relationships with people you know have love for you.
You Control Your Destiny
If you do not know who you are, a relationship can easily strip you of your identity and individuality. Polyamory allows each individual to live life on their own accord. While the thoughts and feelings of your partner(s) are to be considered, you are allowed to place emphasis on your own wants. The freedom offered in polygamous relationships can ensure that in the process of getting to know another person, you do not lose yourself.
Whether there is agreement or not with this lifestyle, free love is the new movement and more individuals are deciding to spread love and receive it from multiple people.

On this day, JULY 4th, in 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence, former Presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, who were once fellow Patriots and then adversaries, both died, within five hours of each other, each thinking that the other still lived. Adams' last words were said to be: "Jefferson lives."Jefferson and Adams were the last surviving members of the original American revolutionaries.

"Events like this are critical to the future success of any company. I believe our message of "Products for Today, Tomorrow and Your Future" resonated with our dealers and underlined our vision. We have a strong offering no matter where they are in transitioning their company. Our product message was strong as we introduced 20 new MFP products. We outlined the simplicity of our programs and defined our vision of a smart office in our industry. Our technology fair allowed more than 50 of our 3rd party partners to showcase complimentary products. On top of that, we had some great news to share in regard to Sharp's financials and our partnership with Amazon Web Services. The feedback has been positive and dealers seem to be excited about partnering with Sharp in the future. I loved the camaraderie and the people I was able to meet in such a short period of time. I am excited to get started in working with the dealer community."
"There was a lot of conversation built around the smart office and how to facilitate that through our dealers. Dealers showed much interest in how our back-end logistics through distribution will give them a Sharp portal that can make this process easier — all the products on one invoice. These conversations led to more discussions on which training and education is needed to sell these solutions. This training will be a big focus for me and my team as we go forward."
"The other comment I heard was the strong interest in our Veterans Hiring Program. It was a consistent message that dealers are struggling to find the talent needed to grow or enter new markets. People entering the workplace don't see this market for the value it brings, and we are excited to provide this recruitment tool to our dealers. And, like before, the training of these new entrants will be critical. So that training focus comes back into play. In both issues, training is a key component. Sometimes we lose focus on what's truly important and a well-trained and highly motivated team is what drives success. That will remain a key area for me."
"My background is in the audio visual (AV) space. I have watched traditional AV dealers who sold 'boxes' move into advanced technologies and services to meet the needs of customers. This same shift is happening in the MFP marketplace. The topics of smart office and new technologies really took the forefront at the meeting. Sharp is positioned to accelerate the growth in these categories with the portfolio of products we have access to. We need to provide our dealers with the process, margin structure and training if we are to be successful."
"A challenge the dealers and Sharp continue to face is price and margin erosion. The positive in this is that it is forcing us all to look at new revenue streams. I feel that we can have an immediate impact with our enhanced line of display products. Previously, most of the talk has been around the AQUOS BOARD® interactive displays, but we have a full line of Pro AV products that includes TVs, video walls and even desktop displays. Our relationship with Foxconn and our back-end operations with distribution channels will allow us to provide products that can fill all the new categories for our dealers. This is why we feel we are poised to be a leader in the smart office space as it is an area we know well, and our dealers are in a great position to expand their offering into this space."
"Competitive products and programs are always at the top of the list, but I feel that dealers are seeing someone that they can trust and who is truly invested in their success. Every manufacturer has goals to hit and sometimes the perception from dealers is that manufacturer company goals supersede dealers' goals. At Sharp, we have developed a "dealer first" culture by listening to our dealers' needs, which has led us to develop the programs we have today. The programs we announced at our meeting reflect that mindset: recruitment, training and a demo contest, new products and transition products. They all originate with the mindset of the dealer — addressing their needs first, because if they succeed, we succeed. Moving forward, their needs will help us as we evolve in smart office solutions and any new opportunities to grow our mutual business."

This is a bit of a treat. While we are waiting for Swiss SynthWave producer Worship's soon to be released new EP, here's a brand new track he has delivered. And it has us more eager than ever for his new record.
Arcane is a SynthWave track at heart, but plays around with the sound in ways we haven't heard before. Dropping a Speak & Spell vocal over the top of a relentless Italo bassline give the track the ability to swing from gritty Electro riffs to rich, rousing synth chords. The track is a nice mix of SynthWave, Kraftwerk and Italo, pumping and sweet at the same time. We're hoping Worship's new EP comes around some time soon.

Pirates agree to release Ukrainian ship
In return for a ransom from the vessel`s owner
Somali pirates have reportedly agreed to release a Ukrainian ship and its military cargo in return for a ransom from the vessel`s owner, VOA reported.
News agencies say several people involved in the case confirmed the deal Sunday, including a spokesman for the pirates, Sugule Ali, a man, Mikhail Voitenko, representing the owner, and a Kenyan maritime official, Andrew Mwangura.
The reports said the pirates and the owner of the MV Faina were continuing to discuss how the ransom should be delivered. The pirates initially demanded a $35-million ransom, but later lowered their demand to $3 million.
Pirates captured the Ukrainian ship on September 24 in the Gulf of Aden as it headed to Kenya, carrying Russian-made T-72 tanks, ammunition and other military hardware. About 20 crew members have been held on the vessel, mostly Ukrainians and Russians.
Kenya says it was the intended recipient of the Faina`s military cargo. But maritime officials and diplomats in the region have said the cargo was destined for the government of Sudan`s southern autonomous region.
Somali pirates have captured about 15 vessels in a recent wave of hijackings that has forced international warships to patrol the Gulf of Aden.
On November 15, pirates took a Saudi tanker carrying $100 million worth of oil.

Through February 17, 2017, Hilton HHonors is offering an 80% bonus on purchased points.
The cost to purchase points with HHonors is ordinarily one cent per point (including tax), so through this promotion you can purchase Hilton points for ~0.56 cents each. This bonus applies as long as you purchase at least 5,000 points in one transaction.
You can purchase a maximum of 80,000 HHonors points before any bonuses per account per calendar year, meaning the highest number of points you can pick up through this promotion is 144,000 at a cost of $800.
I value Hilton HHonors points at ~0.4 cents each, though there are certainly instances where you can get more value out of Hilton points than that.
To put that price into context, here are Hilton's award categories (as you can see there's quite a bit of variance in each category — HHonors is the closest to being a revenue based hotel program):
To give some examples of potential value, the DoubleTree Wuhu is a Category 1 property, meaning a free night redemption costs 5,000 points per night. If you're buying points that translates to $28 per night, while a paid rate would be significantly more than that.
Even on the other end of the spectrum there's value to be had. For example, the Conrad Maldives is $1,300+ per night in peak season, while a redemption costs 95,000 points per night. At a rate of 0.56 cents per point, that's like paying ~$530 for a night there.
It gets better than that, though. Through February 15, 2017, you can book a Hilton AXON award at this property, which would cost 300,000 points for four nights, which is an average of 75,000 points per night. At 0.56 cents each, that's like paying $420 per night to stay here, which is pretty great.
To do a direct comparison, if you booked the cheapest advance purchase rate for four nights, here's the cost (since the above rates don't account for the 22% tax and service charge):
Hilton points purchases are processed by points.com, meaning they don't count as a hotel purchase for the purposes of credit card spend. Therefore you'll want to purchase these points with a credit card that maximizes your return on everyday spend, like the Amex EveryDay® Preferred Credit Card, Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Card from American Express, or Citi® Double Cash Card.
Conrad Maldives underwater restaurant
Bottom line
In general I'm not for speculatively buying points when they're being sold for more than I value them. That being said, that's the beauty of non-revenue based points currencies — the way in which people value them varies wildly. I know people who value Hilton points at 0.3 cents each, and I know people that value them at 1.0 cent each.
With a particular use in mind this could represent a very good deal, though do keep in mind we've seen slightly bigger bonuses in the past.
Do you plan on buying Hilton HHonors points for ~0.56 cents each?

President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Munich, Germany armed with the "wish list" of Nigeria in line with the demand of the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized countries.
President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Munich, Germany armed with the "wish list" of Nigeria in line with the demand of the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized countries.
The G7 had earlier requested the then President-elect to prepare a shopping list and come with it for their consideration in what is seen as an excellent goodwill gesture towards the new leader and the country.
The Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the President, Malam Garba Shehu in a statement from Munich on Sunday said top on the list of the requests President Buhari will tender before the G7 leaders is on the problem of security.
"We have a problem which they know." President Buhari himself said.
The President said he has used every opportunity at his disposal ahead of this meeting to discuss the country's needs with specific reference to terrorism and development needs at person-to-person meetings and phone conversations with some of these leaders.
"These development issues, many and varied as they are, touch on the economy, combating corruption, increased foreign direct investment, FDI; power and energy, infrastructure, environment, enhanced transparency in elections and good governance."
The leaders of seven major industrialized democracies are meeting for their annual summit, with the first day devoted to the global economy and talks to liberalize trade rules. But The meeting will also focus on the continued fighting in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, which U.S. and German leaders agreed should remain in place.
The leaders also expected to discuss world crises including gains by the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria and the crises in Libya and Yemen. There are also the pressing issues related to China, which is building islands in the Pacific that could be used to control shipping lanes.
U.S. President Barack Obama said it is a list of "difficult challenges."
"We're going to discuss our shared future," he said, "the global economy that creates jobs and opportunity, maintaining a strong and prosperous European Union, forging new trade partnerships across the Atlantic, standing up to Russian aggression in Ukraine, combating threats from violent extremism to climate change."
Russia was suspended from the group last year, after it annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula. G7 countries are among the leaders of an extensive sanctions regime designed to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to change his policy.
Obama, Merkel united on continued sanctions
Obama, Merkel united on continued sanctions
Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel say economic sanctions against Russia should only be eased with Moscow's full implementation of a shaky truce in eastern Ukraine to end fighting between pro-Russian insurgents and Kyiv's forces.
The American and German leaders met before the G7 summit in the Bavarian Alps. The White House said both leaders agreed the duration of the sanctions should be "clearly linked" to Moscow carrying out February's cease-fire deal and showing "respect for Ukraine's sovereignty."
More than half the meeting Obama had with Merkel was devoted "to the issue of Ukraine and the need for the G7, but also our European partners, to continue to show unity in confronting Russia over the destabilizing actions in Ukraine," the White House said in a statement.
Merkel told German public broadcaster ARD that Moscow should stay out of the G7 "community of values" over its actions in Ukraine. "There is a barrier at the moment and I cannot really see how it can be overcome," she said.
Another participant at the summit, European Council President Donald Tusk, said the European Union and the G7 leaders remain firm in their support of Ukraine in its fight against pro-Russian separatists.
The West accuses Moscow of supporting the insurgents in eastern Ukraine, a charge that Russia denies. The truce singed by Kyiv, Moscow and separatist rebels at talks mediated by Germany and France requires the warring sides to withdraw heavy weapons from the line of contact, but the provisions have been routinely violated.
Before meeting privately, Merkel and Obama drank beer and ate sausages at a table with local residents in the picturesque Alpine village of Kruen, a few kilometers from the summit site. Chancellor Merkel called the United States "our friend and our partner" and referred to the American leader as "dear Barack."
Monday agenda
On Monday, the G7 leaders will be joined by the Iraqi prime minister to discuss the fight against Islamic State, and some African leaders will join the meetings for a discussion of development, women's rights and health policy.
The leaders also want to agree on a climate change policy for a key meeting in Paris in December, where the goal will be to reach a global agreement to reduce carbon emissions.
G7 communiques on such issues are often greeted with indifference, but an international group of scholars that monitors the organization says they do follow through and do make a difference.
In its annual assessment, issued Sunday, the G7 Research Group based at the University of Toronto said on average the G7 countries complied with 80 percent of the commitments they made at their summit last year. Researchers say the G7 does make a difference, particularly on such issues as financial regulations, health care, helping refugees and infrastructure development in Africa.
Like all G7 summits and similar events, this one has attracted protesters who blame the big powers for many of the world's problems. Chanting and singing, some of them briefly blocked roads in the area early Sunday, and one group walked across a field where protesters had been allowed to camp out, trying to reach the summit hotel.
More than 15,000 German security personnel are keeping the protesters at bay and ensuring the leaders are safe as they uphold the G7 tradition of spending a couple of days largely on their own, discussing the world's most pressing issues.President Buhari announced that the leaders of the industrialized nations have shown a preparedness to work with Nigeria to help the country out of her problems.
President Buhari will hold meetings on the sidelines with the host, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the French President, Francois Hollande, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the World Bank President Dr. Jim Yong Kim.

YOUNG Omagh boxer Tiernan Bradley has been busy sparring with Conor McGregor ahead of next month's mega bucks showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas.
Bradley went nine rounds with 'The Notorious' on Wednesday and was expected back in the ring today for another session with the two weight UFC champion.
Last week the rumour mill went into overdrive when it emerged the 20-year-old Irish amateur star was set to hook up with the two weight UFC champion who is preparing for the August 26 multi-million blockbuster.
On Monday that it was made official- Bradley, a six times Irish champion, was to become one of three sparring partners for the 'Notorious' McGregor at his Straight Blast Gym in Dublin for the next two weeks.
After putting pen to paper Bradley said, "So it's official!! I'm Team McGregor, contracts signed for the next two weeks I will be one of his three sparring partners down here in Dublin.
"Great opportunity to be apart of one of the biggest fight in combat sports history which should surpass all records.
"I will give my all to make sure McGregor is at his best so we can really make history."
The Omagh boxer has a hugely impressive amateur record of 98 wins and is currently training hard in the hope of securing a place at the next Commonwealth Games.
His boxing style, in particular his defensive game, is similar to that of Mayweather and the McGregor camp were made aware that the talented southpaw competed in similar fashion to the man who won all 49 of his professional bouts.
A former sparring partner of McGregor's Conor Wallace also recommended Bradley as a like-for-like opponent. The Newry light heavyweight spent last summer in Las Vegas helping McGregor prepare for the rematch with Nate Diaz and was credited with playing a key role in the Dubliner's revenge mission.
On Monday Bradley, who has represented Ireland on a number of occasions, met the McGregor camp and the rest as they say is history.

The democracy of mobility
Posted in Uncategorized on May 5, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Cool expression, eh? It refers to the freedom we have in this country to physically move around via travel by car, bus, airline, etc. It's not mine. I got it from Dan Simmons, the Institute for Energy Research's Director of State Affairs. He and David Kreutzer of Heritage allowed this week's briefing attendees a fascinating look at the truths and myths concerning some of the issues surrounding proposed energy legislation and environmentalism in general. It's always interesting to seriously discuss a topic that is pretty rapidly being dismissed by most scientists as radically overblown and based on faulty, if not outright false, science. Look, no one's saying we shouldn't take care of our environment. It's just that using scare tactics and trying to paint those tactics as something more reputable to pass crap legislation is pretty unseemly. My favorite part was when Kreutzer pointed out that raising energy prices, which even our esteemed President has pointed out will happen under a comprehensive energy bill, will only keep us on the oil standard longer. So, you may want to hold off buying that Prius. Flawed logic is awesome.
Anyway, Kreutzer is about to release an economic analysis of a renewable energy standard (long and short: it's expensive and produces very little) and you can check out IER's breakdown of energy mandates by state here. Basically, no matter what happens at the federal level, you will pay into the United Church of the Holy Apostolic Green Movement. Whether you like it or not.
Now for the fun stuff, I've included a bunch of photos below, some of a band that played at a little neighborhood thing Saturday (they were pretty good. You can hear them here. Better live…I recommend Ithaca), some of Alexander chilling at the landlady's house (it's his glamor shot), and some from the Alexandria waterfront. I work down there but never get to just hang out. So Saturday, I did. That's how much I need to get out on the water. I'm serious man. I get it from my Grandpa. Miss you G-pa Dix…
Oh yeah, going here and then here this evening. Can't wait…Go Braves.

I am not delighted with my house. It is a small ranch-style house. Every room in it is a bit too little, especially since we now share it with a wheelchair-bound relative and his two dogs.
I complain about the galley kitchen. The bathrooms are cramped. Our king size bed pretty much fills up the master bedroom.
I awoke this a.m. to a news story on PBS about families in Egypt. Things have not gone well there for "middle class" people under the current administration, much less the poor. We heard the story of one couple whose home was buldozed by the government with no warning. They were told to go to a local government office and fill out paperwork and they would be able to move into an apartment. Arriving there, they were told that no such paperwork existed. Along with some of their former neighbors, this couple has been living in a tent for over a year. Not a nice camping tent, either. A tent they put together from blankets from their bed. They are in view of an apartment building with many empty units. They are not allowed to move in. Paperwork.
Today I am feeling grateful for my little house.

5 Surprising Ways You Can Improve Your Sexual Chemistry With Bae
The way he looks at you makes you want to curl into a mush ball! His kisses transport you from reality to la la land and there's no way the chemistry is dying anytime soon. Make-out sessions with bae leave you with a thousand butterflies in your tummy and you have absolutely no complaints. Or maybe you do. Maybe you're an ambitious lover and you want more. There's nothing wrong with that. Either way, no harm in getting that chemistry to shoot through the roof.
No, we're not going to give you tips that involve BDSM and looking like a porn star. At least not in this article. Here, we present to you 5 surprising and adorable ways that can help you enhance your sexual chemistry with bae!
1. Spend time away
According to experts, a couple that spends time apart pursuing their own individual passions, land up spending more meaningful time together. Also all that longing for each other definitely reflects in the next time you have sex. The wait is always worth it!
2. Plan sexy time
While Chinese big-shot Jack Ma suggests couples have sex six times a week, it isn't always possible, given the long work hours we have. Which is why scheduling sex can help you not miss out on your weekly orgasms! Also, when you know what awaits you, the anticipation can build the heat up. Bonus points if you can prep yourself in advance to feel sexier!
3. Re-create your first meeting
If you were attracted to each other in the first meeting itself, it definitely remains special to you. In that moment, since you were both oblivious to each other's flaws, you could only see the best in him. Why not re-create the whole meeting (meaningful role play!), but this time with a lot less shyness and a lot more sexual chemistry!
4. Talk Dirty
No, we aren't saying you should sound like an adult hotline operator, but you can always tease him in subtle ways. Some clever puns will make it difficult for him to wait. By the end of the sexy talk, you both will be craving to get it on!
5. Indulge in PDA
You don't have to play full-on tonsil tennis, just a little snuggling is what will add to the sexual tension between you. (If you can actually keep things from progressing, then you might want to question if there's any sexual chemistry at all.) Steal kisses when nobody's looking. Caress his thighs from under the table. And when you finally get to bed, nobody will be sleeping!


text: Aguila1 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 I just wanted to post that the convertor box bought from David Blume's outfit works fine. I had some problems with them sending the wrong connectors and their customer service left a lot to be desired, but in the end the car runs great on E85. Before the conversion, I couldn't run anything over E20 without the engine wanting to stall and running erratically. Could anyone explain how this box works? If I understand correctly it doubles the pulses - two quickly in succession vs. just one originally. I couldn't get a straight answer from them and I'm curious about this.

Summer Raspberries
At this time of year, its hard to believe that Summer will ever come again, with long cold days and frosty evenings. However, when a parcel arrived for me a couple of weeks ago containing 12 Summer fruiting raspberry canes, I couldn't help but think of the seasons ahead. In preparation for planting I had … Continue reading Summer Raspberries

I initially only planned to "cheat" on my diet a tiny bit, however the treats of the season have proved to be way too much enticement for my less than perfect willpower. Not only have I gained weight as a result of my excessive binging (over which I swear I had no control due to being enslaved by the mocking seduction of the delicacies spread out before me), but I have also been too lazy to exercise (obviously as a result of my temporary state of "gluttony-insanity").
However I truly feel that all is not lost and I plan to resume my challenge in full force as from next week. I still have a month and a half to reach my goals and because of the success I had achieved rather early on in my challenge, I honestly do believe that I will still obtain my desired results in the end.
Fortunately my hair and skin have not suffered due to my weaknesses and my spirit of endurance is still fully intact. All I need to get on track with again, is my weight loss and fitness regime. The four kilograms of weight I have gained back, are truly not the end of the world, therefore I am confident that all I really need to do to get back on "the wheel" is to increase the amount of time I exercise per day (when I actually resume my routines in full force again that is).
Here's to my last official day/night of binging! Enjoy your Old Year's Eve celebrations and be safe. Only 43 days left until D-Day!

This question involves too many factors to consider on this website
so we will try to bring up enough questions for you to do some fact
finding and get a feel of what is involved. We would remind you
though that the "Job Satisfaction" clause in our warrantee means
that once you have discussed the application with us, any unit furnished
subsequent to our discussion is guaranteed to do the job. No reservations,
no questions asked, no fault assigned for things overlooked--just
ask for a full refund or credit on another unit to do the job (completely
your choice). If you choose to take another unit, as always, we
will provide a loaner (in this case at no cost to you) until we
build your replacement unit if we do not have one in stock. Make
us fully responsible for your decision and call us at 1-866-221-3131
or put your name and phone number on the e-mail form on this page.
If an electric motor is started on the utility (cycling across the line start), it commonly draws about 6 times its full load amperage (ever notice the lights dim when a large motor starts). The starting surge varies with the starting method. This can be a problem since a solid state frequency converter is commonly current limited at 1.5 times it's full load amperage. A rotary converter on the other hand commonly can supply 4 times it's full load rating (for motor starting) and often more.
In general, if no large motors or electrical distortion causing
devices (large SCR's, thyristors etc.) are involved as part of the
load, and a modest cost premium (advantage in the case of smaller
units) may be acceptable as a trade-off for operating noise level
in an office or lab environment, a solid state unit may be the preferred
approach. Given the presence of these "problem" loads , a rotary
design may be best. There are many factors involved in both design
choice and sizing. Again, we will be glad to
discuss this with you and assume responsibility for the final product
choice and performance, just call 1-866-221-3131 or put your name
and phone number on the e-mail form above and we will call you.
The question of what size usually breaks down into two basic questions:

decision under our warrantee and call us at 1-866-221-3131 or put
