Threats of environmental issues
Thirty years before the turn of this century the north east corner of the continent, the Horn was still one of the world's most interesting and prolific wild–life regions an area where the contrasting. Beauty of the mountain, steppe and plain of Africa was enhanced by varied and interesting flora and fauna which the hand of man had laid only lightly.
To day, particularly in the two northern states of Somaliland and punt land, large areas have been devastated by gross over–stocking which has caused the destruction of the vegetation for charcoal burning and exposure of the land to erosion. The habitat for wild – life has been destroyed over large areas and humans with their domesticated animal's wildlife and charcoal burners compete for the remaining forage and forests.
To put the above in simpler comprehensive way "the environment is affected by natural factors and man's activities as he seeks to ensure his well–being in essence these activities may be called the process of development, when the process is such that it take's into account also of the effects on the environment and provide for the well–being and vitality in a sustained manner it constitutes management of the environment (UNEP 1978).
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise but a foolish man spendeth it up "proverb ch.21.V.20 (Mario pagans, 1969 – SOS planet earth" the above descriptions and proverbs are all applicable to Somaliland and are the most prevailing constraints in the country to protect biodiversity in our country.

SES Track record:
Since its creation 1996, by a group of committee nature lovers and experienced local environmentalists who have a profound knowledge of the ecology of Somaliland SES have registered outstanding achievements in its campaign to raise the awareness of the local community on the importance of their natural heritage of nature, by doing so one strategy adopted was through the mass – media to convey its message to the people. Programmes were released frequently…
- Hargeisa TV
- Radio Hargeisa

The beginning of Social and Water Erosion In Ga'an Libah
An Indigenous Early Account of Ga'an Libah (Adopted)
The following is the story of Ahmed Naleye, Habar Yunis, Muse Abdallah, Abokor Loge an old man who has lived on Ga'an Libah all his life. His age is now about 65years (1947). This story was recorded by P.E Glover and included in his unpublished work (Vol. 11. part 11, 1947), about 55 years ago many elephants lived on Ga;'an Libah. There was a herd of probably more than 200. Then one day the whole herd moved away in a body westwards. I would say this was 55 or 56 years ago for I was still a small boy from then until now, not a single elephant has returned. "[Swayne (1895) says that his brother shot a large tusker on Wagger where there a number of elephants. This would seem to confirm the old man's story C, F, H.].
At that time every hollow had a permanent running, spring in it, and there was a luxuriant grass growth everywhere. Before my time, a people called the RAHAN WEIN, who now live in Abyssinia, lived here and made gardens. These people built a fort the remains of which can still be seen at Bagan, there were no other Somali tribes here at that time. Then after the RAHANWEIN had gone away, the ISHAAK tribes came here from mait and he is the HABRAWAL, still lived only on the coast.
When I was a small boy the open plaints, which are now covered with Chrysopogon aucheri var, quinqueplumis, Acacia etabaica and Acokanthera schimperi var, ouabaio were very small openings in the forest now only a few dead stumps show where the Junipers procera was. The Juniperus procera extended as far as the present kharia at Gerba keyleh. Now there is only little on the northern slopes. In the gully there was plenty of Juniperus prucera. Where the Acokanthera schimperi var, ouabaio is now is called wabile, there was Juniperus procera growing with it when I was a boy of about 10 years old, but it has all died out now. There was always a great deal of Acokanthera schimperi var, ouabaio there. The place where the Governor's camp now is, called BALLEH, because a great deal of water used to accumulate there after rain, where the water–hole is now. Was called kab–on and there was a permanent spring of running water there. The waterhole now called ONEIMEDU consisted of one well only. Three men handed water up from the bottom. This hole was made by us with iron bars, about six holes were made later, but all except two have been covered over by the wash of rain water. The waterhole where the big root of the focus is near the coffee shop was called GUROH and was once a permanent spring now it runs for a short time only. It is called GUROH, because it is so narrow.
Where the "Se'ed" (Syzygium guineense?) thicket is there was a large permanent swampy jungle called BIYO – ADO – BUK, but now only a few small water – holes remain the elephants liked that place very much.
When I was a young man there was a great deal of fighting among the tribes here, and the OGADEN used to raid stock right down into the GUBAN, they raided and killed a number of stock and LAFERUG, was their headquarters, the road they took down to the GUBAN is called FURDOH, they accumulated big mounds of bones because they used to break bones for the marrow.
When I was a young boy people called the SULAH GUDUB lived on GA'AN LIBAH they were called that because they were a mixture of HABR YUNIS, KASSIM–ISAHAK, ARAB RER ADAN and ARAB AHMED ABDULLAH. These people used to raid from here to JIGJIGA and HARAR.
About 50 to 60 years ago, before the Somalis had rifles, they used to burn large patches of the forest to drive out the lions which were very numerous, that is how a great mainly trees were killed out. This practice had been going on for a very long time, but stopped after the Somali people were able to get arms. When I was a young man GA'AN LIBAH, was one of the best grazing areas in the country, but now there is no much stock here, and there are so many people, that nothing is left and everything has been ruined.
When I was a boy there was no erosion where now there is a large patch near WABILE also at DERE-MARAH, where there is very bad erosion now, there was none, and that part of the country was densely covered with Acacia atabaica and A. nilotica sub–species pleiocarpa. All this erosion started 10 years after I was born. A very heavy, Gu' rain fell one night which was called "Dig Wein" the people in BURAO called it "Dogob-jibeye" because there was such a volume of water. All the wells were washed out in BURAO, this rain fell only for one night. That is when most of the erosion in the country was started. The plain near the GORE coffee shop on the BURAO road, which is now bare was covered with trees and good grass, but all the trees and grass were washed away.
In the old days when I was young. Only cows were kept on GA'AN LIBAH no other kind of stock come here, my father told me that before my time there were cattle and gardens here. When I was young the plains around were full of hartebeest, Oryz "Aul" and "Dero" and in the bush were numbers of Greater Kudu, there are still a few kudu but there are no Oryx or Hartebeest left, they were shot out by the local tribes when they were able to get arms, and by European hunters, "(Interpreted by Hussein _ Weid, Habar Yunis, Musa Arreh, Native Names of Plants replaced by Latin Names by the author).
"The above account reflects the continuous Deterioration of Environmental Challenges in Somaliland"
Some Projects Implemented by SES
The Project Function Under Food for Work not Cash Money
Click here to see a table of activities – in PDF format.
SES Challenges of Natural Resource Management is lack of:
1. Policy, Legislation and Plans:
a. There is no officially adopted or implement forest, range and wildlife policy for Somaliland in existence at present, and the awareness of the need for a definite programme is increasing for the last 10 years in higher circles of the government. However, therefore the main grass – root challenge is mainly inherent in lack of policy, legislation and plans, implementation.
b. Lack of alternative source of energy is the main cause of forest destruction 99%, of energy use is from charcoal, traders in the country in which wildlife perish for lack of shelter.
c. Over – grazing gully erosion, soil and water erosion are depleting livestock grazing lands in the country to a large extent.
Long term objectives combat it:-
a. Creating and managing sufficient forest reserves like"libaahley" mountain of Dayib "juniper forest" and others.
b. Establishment of plantations to supply what the indigenous forest's can not supply.
c. Making some watersheds protective forest reserves.
d. Creating reforestation, watershed areas.
e. Establishing or rehabilitation of existed forest nurseries in regional level.
2. Range:
- To Establishing or re – establishing sufficient grazing reserves where necessary or possible.
- To educate the public on the proper principles and application of range management
- To reverse capability of the land and the reproduction of the plants by enclosing large range areas in the form of famine reserves.
3. Wildlife:
- Preserve the wildlife of this country in such a manner which facilitates the perpetual continuity of the wildlife in variety and number.
a. By creating game parks where possible, sanctuaries and orphanages to ensure the continuity of wild game population with in the limitations of the natural environment.
b. By creating facilities where people could satisfy their educational needs as well as natural curiosity.
c. To find ways and means of arresting the extinction of unique and rare animals indigenous to the country.
d. Create an effective and capable organization to work towards the attainment of the above goal.
The Somaliland Ecological Society (SES) is very much interested in Marine ecosystem conservation.
In reference to (PERSGA), the Regional Organization for the conservation of the environment of the Red sea and Gulf of Aden, there are many offshore in Somaliland's Coastal waters.
Aibat and Sa'adadin Islands, (PERSGA) 2001, not only the largest coral reef area in the Gulf of Aden, but also including a fascinating area of low-lying mangrove islands, salt marshes and swamps, a very important site for nesting sea birds and probably also for turtles.
Threatened Marine Shrimps are over harvested in off-shore Islands and Coastal SLagoons
The Somaliland SES has been active in promoting the wise use of natural resources through a national TV. Radio, public meeting and organizing workshop, but due to lack of funding it has relatively small NGO unable to progress further, especially in the past couple of years. However, with the help of small funds from UK based Somali Ecological Society, we have been able to re-launch our organisation, and managed to rent again small office base from September 2010. Somaliland SES co-founding member used to member of the now UK based Somali ecological Society and hence when the organision was set up it was used and similar name, with a view to making it affiliated to it in the long term.
Our organisation has provided a great deal of support the recent fact finding mission by the chairman of the UK based Somali Ecological Society (SES), and the two organisations agreed to work together more effectively and co-ordinate their work . Furthermore, Somaliland SES have formally requested support from the SES with fund –raising issues, as well as technical expertise from UK, and the two organisation signed memorandum of understanding about key areas of priority for action in Somaliland such as the urgent need for alternative energy to protect the remaining natural forests and woodlands, protection of wildlife, the need for re-establishing forest reserves and re-establishment of forest nurseries in all major towns.

Howdy Folks.
I'm back again to report on the previous week.
So what did I do? Well a few things, but they aren't really related to writing. So I'm not really tempted to discuss them here. As far as I can tell my life isn't very interesting, so I'll spare you the tiny details of my day-to-day.
That all being said I did spend several hours discussing the plot of this book that we are writing. I think it keeps getting better every time we get together and talk. But as it is I didn't get much time to work on the first draft. Sleep has been hard to get, so when I do finally drag myself out of bed I simply don't have the time, nor the energy to devote to writing. I don't want to just type away without inspiration, or if I feel I'll hate doing it that day.
Of course this isn't the best way to get a book written. You should work everyday, and get something done, but it is difficult when you wake up in a zombie like state. Lurching from one room to another, searching for coffee or food as the need arises. Not even recalling what you last wrote. But perhaps I'll try harder this week.
I know the other author is doing other things. I could tell you what they are, but that'd be spoilers.
But as a message to those of you that know my interests, watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Unless you are a completionist skip the first arc, Phantom Blood. I promise you that you'll have a good time.
I'll talk to you next week, have a good one.

During the second keynote of Build 2017, Microsoft surprised everyone by announcing that Apple would be bringing its iTunes UWP app to Windows Store by the end of this year. "Windows users will get the complete iTunes experience, including Apple Music and the iTunes Store, as well as support for iPhone and other Apple devices on any Windows 10 or Windows 10 S PC," said Microsoft in a statement.
This essentially means Windows PC users will not have to install the regular desktop iTunes app to sync their iPhones or play Apple Music. This could appear as a huge relief to a country like India where most iPhone users are on Windows PCs. This comes after Spotify was announced for Windows Store recently.
Microsoft says that the iTunes Windows app will have all the functionalities of the regular iOS version. There is no confirmed release date yet.
(Disclaimer: The author is in Seattle covering Build 2017 on the invite of Microsoft.)

Redlands, USA, July 26, 2007: The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) is implementing ESRI's ArcGIS Server and updating its existing geographic information system (GIS) to ArcGIS 9.2 technology. This move will support IDWR's GIS analysts in the technology and adjudication sections as well as more than 150 IDWR staff who use GIS technology to answer questions, create maps, and identify water-use activities.
IDWR is responsible for administering water use in the state of Idaho. It has used ESRI GIS technology for more than two decades, and now all of the department's business processes use GIS, from the filing of water rights and adjudication of water right claims to making high-level water administration decisions based on hydrologic modeling. Most recently, the Adjudication Bureau reviewed 180,000 claims in the Snake River Basin, the largest adjudication in the nation. A water rights adjudication identifies, reviews, and decrees claims to valid water use. ESRI's ArcView software was used in the review to both map and analyze these claims.
To prepare for processing approximately 20,000 water rights claims in the north Idaho adjudication, the department is creating an interactive Web page planned for 2008 that will allow applicants to file a claim online. ArcGIS Server will make public access to the department's terabyte of data and images easier. The public can access maps and high-resolution aerial photographs to identify their land, then draw their water-use and water-diversion locations on top of the images. This online capability makes it more convenient for applicants and saves time for office staff by increasing the accuracy of the location data that accompanies claims.
Within the IDWR Technical Services Bureau, the Hydrology Section runs water rights accounting models for five river basins. IDWR, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and Idaho Watermasters use the results to calculate annual storage, time reservoir releases, and distribute water to irrigators. The GIS upgrade will increase efficiency as they redesign and simplify current models into a GIS environment with integrated tools for data visualization and plotting. ArcGIS Server will also help integrate quality assurance and control procedures.

My fell! she called. My fell!
She didn't cry til Joe got to her, scooped her up, and hugged her. "Are you okay?" he asked.
My knee hurts! she cried, a dozen enormous tears suddenly rolling down her cheeks.
Thinking that she was crying because she was tired or hungry or wanting to go outside, I offered her a Halloween Oreo cookie with orange filling.
She stopped crying, and her face lit up. Yum, yum! she squealed.
"Okay. Come over and get it."
She stood up, took a step, and fell down. This time, she was wailing before she hit the ground. My knee hurts!
Joe picked her up again and brought her over to the couch. She grabbed her Oreo, turned around, and fell to the floor again.
"What happened, Honey? Where did you fall?" I asked her.
Right there! she cried, pointing to the spot on the carpet.
Neither of us had seen the fall. There had been no crash, no screaming, no noise. Just My fell!
"Did you fall outside or inside?"
Yeah. My fell. My knee hurts.
I pulled her pant legs up, checking for bleeding or something. Nothing. Both legs looked totally normal.
But she couldn't walk. Not at all, not even one step.
"Joe, we have to go to the Emergency Room."
He looked at me, his face totally blank.
I looked at the clock: 4:25. I dialed the pediatrician. The nurse listened, told me to give Grace some ibuprofen, and then go immediately to get x-rays. "Don't leave the radiology center," she said. "Our on-call doctor will contact you as soon as she gets the report."
The whole way to the radiology center, I prepped Grace. "The doctor is going to take some pictures of your leg so that she can fix your booboo. You'll have to lay very still so that she can take pictures."
Okay, Mommy. My lay still for pictures.
But then, when the time came, she cried. Screamed. Wailed.
My scared! M'afraid! Mommy, hold me!
It wasn't as bad as the blood draw. Or maybe I'm just stronger.
Or maybe both.
After a long wait, the doctor phoned.
Broken fibula. It should be okay overnight but don't let her try to walk on it. Give her ibuprofen every six hours, and call the office when it opens for a referral to a pediatric orthopedist.
I explained to Grace that her leg was broken, and that it was very important that she not walk on it. I'm pretty sure that was a mistake.
My can't walk? My can't walk!
Her heart is more wounded than her leg.
Every time she thinks about it, her eyes get wide. My can't walk? My can't walk!
She's heartbroken.
I don't know which is worse: feeling guilty because I don't know how she fell or wishing I could fix it or watching my baby's pure sadness.
I don't think that it matters. It's not about me.

Several exploitable denial of service vulnerabilities exist in Pidgin's implementation of the Novell protocol in the libpurple library. An attacker who can control the contents of an Novell protocol message can cause an out of memory condition by specifying an overly large size value for a memory allocation operation.
Pidgin 2.10.7
A denial of service condition exists in Pidgin when handling events in the Novell protocol. The vulnerability occurs in file pidgin-2.10.7\libpurple\protocols\novell\nmevent.c at lines 155, 170, 276, 285, 355, 407, 446, 496, 536, 595, 638, 676 and 837.
Below is a representative example from line 155:
rc = nm_read_uint32(conn, &size);
if (size == MAX_UINT32) return NMERR_PROTOCOL;
if (rc == NM_OK) {
guid = g_new0(char, size + 1);
rc = nm_read_all(conn, guid, size);
While there is a check at line 154 to ensure that there is no integer overflow at line 155, an attacker can still specify a value of MAXUINT32-1, this will result in a g_new0 function call with the requested size of MAXUINT32. The g_new0 function will attempt to allocate this memory, resulting in an out of memory exception and termination of the program.

Do you wake up in the morning with a 'tired jaw'?
Or do you regularly suffer from earache, headache/migraine, tinnitus, neck pain, insomnia?
There is a very good chance that you are suffering from a medical condition known as 'bruxism', which is caused by clenching or grinding your jaws, either throughout the day, or while you sleep. A visit to the dentist will help you find out if this is a problem you have.
Statistically, between 15-38% of children do this (although the majority will stop naturally by the time they are 13 years old), and between 5-20% of adults do this also.
Children grind their teeth for a variety of reasons, too. These include anxiety, illness and stress, pain, and dental misalignment. As children's teeth pop through, it can be quite painful and cause the child to grind or clench their teeth. Studies have shown that in children having tension headaches, there is a strong likelihood of them having the symptoms of bruxism.
Regardless of a person's age, anxiety and stress are most likely to be the major culprits causing bruxism!
Why do we grind our teeth?
Well, the causes can be emotional, or physical. Factors such as stress, anxiety, unexpressed anger or frustration, or disturbed sleeping patterns come into play, as do things like dental misalignment, genetic disposition (did/do your parents grind their teeth?), particular drugs and medications, certain illnesses, allergies and inadequate diet/dehydration.
What are the risks of teeth grinding or bruxism?
There are a number of issues around bruxism, and here are some of them:
- Facial pain
- Teeth pain (sensitivity to cold, hot and sweetness)
- Headaches
- Popping/clicking noises in the jaw
- Insomnia
- Nighttime grinding of the teeth can cause sleep disturbances for partners and roomies
- An increase of jaw and dental problems (TMD – Temporomandibular Disorders; TMJ – Temporal Mandibular Joint)
- Fracturing, loosening or loss of teeth. Chronic grinding can result in bridges, root canals, crowns, implants, even partial/complete dentures.
- Misalignment of teeth
- Receding gums
- Difficulty in chewing and eating, reduced appetite, leading to nutritional problems
- Reduced capacity to open the jaw
- Impressions of your teeth on the sides of your tongue
- Wear on the insides of your cheeks
How do we deal with bruxism?
The most commonly known treatment is the use of a splint or mouth guard. It's generally worn at night, and it prevents the upper and lower teeth from getting in contact with each other.
Other measures you can take are the following:
- Sleep! Get plenty of it!
- Avoid hard/chewy foods like nuts, whole apples, and lollies
- Drink plenty of water
- Apply ice/heat packs to the jaw area
- Facial/neck massages, working on the trigger points
Behavioural relaxation therapy can help reduce underlying anxiety in conjunction with specific exercises to relax you, and work on the balance of the action of the muscles and joints on each side of your head, which can give you relief.
Also, make a habit of relaxing your face and jaw muscles daily.
Do you think that you might suffer from bruxism without realising it?
If you are having trouble eating, or opening your mouth, go and see your dentist! And if some of the above self-help options don't help you, again, see your dentist. And bear in mind that TMJ symptoms can be caused by other things (e.g., arthritis). While bruxism isn't a life-threatening condition, it can eventually cause much discomfort and cost.

Reviewed by Good News Reviewer
Clarine Lizana
As the curtain goes up on the Pittsburgh Opera's 2016 presentation of Strauss's " Salome" the audience was immediately drawn in by the exquisite set design of Boyd Ostroff. Creating the illusion of fluidity and change in a one-act Opera is not easy, but between the beautiful bas-relief of the set design and the ever-changing mood reflected in the moon, the stage becomes a vibrant part of the production.
Based on the play by Oscar Wilde, Salome reimagines the biblical story of King Herod, his stepdaughter Salome and John the Baptist - Jochanaan. "Salome" provides one interpretation of why exactly Salome forced Herod to give her John the Baptist's severed head on a silver platter.
Salome, Op. 54, is an opera in one act by Richard Strauss to a German libretto by the composer, based on Hedwig Lachmann's German translation of the French play Salomé by Oscar Wilde. Strauss dedicated the opera to his friend Sir Edgar Speyer.[1]
Salome is not an opera that needs much help holding the audience's attention, however, steeped as it is in some of the vilest characteristics of the human race lust, incest, and necrophilia. It is truly amazing that the opera was not banned in major cities when originally released because of the notorious dance of the seven veils. Nudity pales in comparison to the desires of the main characters of Herod, Herodias and Salome.
Patricia Racitte's Salome was outstanding, not only for her musical ability, but also for the physicality she brought to the role. When she is on stage she rules the stage and she holds the audience's attention throughout her performance. Her actions seem neither forced nor stilted, but create a moving montage of lust, anger and desire. This was her Pittsburgh debut so we hope to see her again.
"Dance of the Seven Veils" could have been long and painful but was so expertly choreographed by Michele de la Reza of Attack Theatre that it held the audience spellbound.
Jonathan Boyd as Narraboth and Two-time Grammy winner Nmon Ford as Jochanaan both gave excellent performances. Boyd's voice and diction were exceptionally clear and even off stage Ford's voice was commanding. Robert Brubaker as King Herod had some comical moments despite the tragic them and Michaela Martens is absolutely imperious as Herodias.
Pittsburgh Opera had not performed Salome since 2001, and is performed a different production than the previous. The production is 'traditional'- meaning that the sets and costumes make it look like the biblical era in which it takes place.
Although the story is extremely tragic, the actions and reactions of the characters were often comedic. Overall it was an interesting and pleasurable opera. It would be a shame to wait another fifteen years to bring it back.

Will '50 Shades of Grey' help make 2015 the year of sex tech? / Tech Cocktail
Written by Kirra M. Newman for The National Edition. Originally published January 12th, 2015.
"Imagine you're an angel investor and you find an exciting new sex tech startup to fund. You arrive home at night and your wife asks how your day was – did you find any hotshot startups today?
"Why yes, honey, we funded a porn company."
The problems that many sex tech startups face often boil down to this stigma: our age-old discomfort with sex, and how anything sex-related is equated with porn.
"We associate the world of pornography with this image of seedy mobsters from the 1970s who are wearing wife-beater t-shirts and gold crucifixes around their necks," says CEO Todd Glider of BaDoink.
BaDoink started in 2005 as iTunes for adult content, and branched out in 2013 with BaDoink magazine. The online news site aims to be a major voice in the evolution of sex tech and help reduce the stigma, at least in the business world.
Funding is only one of the issues. It took Cindy Gallop, founder of MakeLoveNotPorn, two years to get funded. But her bigger problem was figuring out a payment infrastructure. They had users willing to pay, but struggled to find a reputable service to accept money.
Part of the issue, says Glider, is that there aren't shining examples of successful and reputable sex tech startups that young companies can point to – see, we're not all sleazy and we can make big bucks. By covering sex tech, BaDoink hopes to spotlight some of those up-and-coming names.
The past may be riddled with challenges, but Glider sees a change happening in 2015. For one, the erotically explicit 50 Shades of Grey movie comes out around Valentine's Day and will certainly drive tons of conversations in the media."
To read more about the issues faced by sex tech startups, and how those challenges might change this year, check out the rest of the article here.

Blackstone LaunchPad Program Hosts University-Wide Business Plan Competition; $30,000 in Cash Prizes Awarded
Leaders in the Capital District business community (pictured above) served as judges for the University's first Blackstone LaunchPad business competition. (Photo by Paul Miller)
ALBANY, N.Y. (April 27, 2016) – The University at Albany's Blackstone LaunchPad program recently hosted its first business plan competition on campus, teaching student entrepreneurs how to pitch their ideas to potential investors.
The competition, which was held in the Massry Center for Business, invited angel investors and venture capitalists to judge presentations from 35 UAlbany student teams. Winners were awarded cash prizes totaling $30,000.
Each team was given the opportunity to present during the competition's first round in early April. They were separated into different "Shark Tanks" based on the category/industry of their business. The idea was influenced by Daymond John, a celebrity investor, best known for his role on ABC's reality show "Shark Tank." John headlined UAlbany's "World Within Reach" speaker series on March 28.
Seven teams moved onto the competition's final round on Friday, April 15. Their businesses ranged widely, from charitable giving mobile apps, to technologies supporting cancer treatment. Three finalists were awarded cash prizes, including:
1.) Advanced Modular Instruments (total winnings $17,000): A modular multi-instrument centrifuge accessory (Tony Hoang, chemistry Ph.D., and Antoinette Fraser '16, M.S. forensic biology)
2.) Youni (total winnings $5,500): A new social media platform driving real-time millennial analytics (Anthony Escamilla '16, communications, and Jordan DiLapo '16, business administration)
3.) MooPlans (total winnings $2,500): College meal plans for upperclassmen (Wesley Sherow '16, physics, and Ami Le '16, chemistry)
Students Tony Hoang (above) and Antoinette Fraser were awarded the top cash prize at UAlbany's Blackstone LaunchPad business competition after presenting on their idea for a modular multi-instrument centrifuge accessory – Advanced Modular Instruments. (Photo by Paul Miller)
"These teams pitched hard-nosed investors successfully, many being approached by the judges/investors about support going forward," said Jan Woodcock, executive director of UAlbany's Blackstone LaunchPad program. "There were no losers in this competition. Students are developing the skills needed for career success, whether they end up self-employed, or working for another company."
Woodcock said the winning teams are planning to use proceeds to help with start-up costs related to their businesses. Many of the students who participated will also be working with incubators, or expanding their business through other capacities this summer, including additional business competitions.
Recently, nine UAlbany student teams participated in Blackstone LaunchPad's virtual Solve a Campus Challenge. Teams were asked to define a problem they were experiencing on their college campus and propose a solution in a 60 second pitch video. Each pitch was voted on by participants from 25 universities. Youni (from UAlbany) was the top public vote-getter, beating out hundreds of submissions with almost 3,000 "likes." They were awarded with a $2,000 cash prize.
Blackstone Launchpad at UAlbany:
Last October, the Blackstone Charitable Foundation announced the expansion of its Blackstone LaunchPad entrepreneurship program to five New York State universities, including UAlbany.
Through the program, UAlbany's 17,300 students are given access to individualized coaching as well as seminars and training sessions related to building their own business. Interested students can write business plans, complete financial analyses, and design marketing campaigns, while also being teamed up with external mentors and business incubators.
To learn more about the program, visit its official website. You can also contact executive director, Jan Woodcock, directly by email, or visit its location in the University's Campus Center (adjacent to the Student Association offices).

We were able to get our voucher printed at the Sant train station Information desk where they also then gave us our passports and got us on our way. We didn't see that as a possibility in the information we were emailed, so it felt like a lucky find. Made things very easy. We only were able to utilize two days, as that was the duration of our stay (actually, just 1-1/2 days). But, even at that, it more than easily paid for itself. We saw several museums (Picasso, Dissemy, Míro, etc.) and sights (Parc Guell, Sagrada Família, etc.) and were able to traverse the entire city quickly and easily via the included bus and metro.
The bus is a really convenient way to explore Barcelona. I was in Barcelona with my parents, who don't enjoy walking long distances and they were super happy to be able to take the bus and move onto the next sight. All drivers and guides on the bus were super friendly and the audio guides were thorough and really well made. The only small problem we had was that the Park Güell stop was changed and neither the App nor the map are up to date so it took us a little while to make it back to the right place. It would be great if the app were updated. All in all I was really satisfied!
The pass I think depends on how long you will be there - I am not convinced that was value for money as quite a lot of the activities were not free - you only received a discount - and the ones that were free were relatively inexpensive and you could purchase easily at the time with no great expense. The travel card was good and made life easy for getting around the city
I chose the Hop On Hop Off tour because it took me to all the important spots to see in Barcelona at a reasonable price and allowed me the flexibility to hop off and on the bus however many times I wished. My husband had rented a car, but traffic and finding parking was really stressful, so that's why we decided to do the Hop On Hop Off tour.
The Barcelona card is really useful for people who want to visit many museums and attractions, and do not have a car. Besides the gratuities and discounts at museums, having 120h to travel by any public transportation mean is really comfortable and confident in very handy for a tourist.

There are plenty of pages on the internet about how to get a re-entry visa for Japan, but anyway, here's a summary of how to get one in Tokyo.
You need to go to the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau in Shinagawa. There's a bus from Shinagawa station – take the Konan exit (港南口) and follow the signs. You can also walk there, if you feel like getting a bit of exercise. Here's a map of the Immigration Bureau location.
What you need to take with you:
- Passport. The original, not a copy. They need to stick the re-entry label inside it.
- Completed multiple-entry visa application form. You can download a blank application form from the Ministry of Justice website.
- Alien Registration Card (外国人登録証 – Gaikokujin Tōroko Shō). If you haven't received the card yet, you can take the "Issuance of Foreign Resident Registration Certification" (登録原票記載事項証明書 – Tōroku Genpyo Kisai Jikō Shōmeisho) which you should have received when you applied for the card at your local ward office.
- Revenue stamp. The revenue stamp for a re-entry visa costs ¥6,000 and must be paid in cash at the convenience store on the ground floor. If you forget to bring cash there is an ATM in the ground floor lobby, which conveniently accepts foreign cashcards.
Assuming there are no problems with your application, the re-entry visa will be issued immediately.

15 Apr Choosing the Right Air Conditioner for Your Needs
Summer temperatures that are Increasing may make you think about getting a new air conditioner. There are a number of facts to take into account before buying an air conditioning unit for your dwelling. It's best to determine what size the unit ought to be and which sort of unit will best fit your requirements. The size of the unit and the efficacy of an air conditioner will finally determine its usefulness and functionality. Keep in mind that a straight sized device or one situated in a window will cost more to operate and execute lower standards.
Choosing the Ideal Air Conditioning Unit for Your Specific Needs
Before selecting an air conditioner, it is important to take into account the number of rooms and the size of these rooms in your house. This will determine the sort of unit that you need based on your needs. Hogg Mechanical
As soon as you've got the information about your house and your requirements, you can consider the sort of device that will suit your requirements.
Portable Units are to get a small space or single room which needs infrequent cooling. These are mobile and can be readily moved from one room to another in your home. Wall Units are for single rooms or small spaces but don't give the ease of being mobile. Split System Components are for rooms or rooms inside the house that require cooling. Units are best suited to keep your home cool and comfortable.
Types of Ac Units
Air conditioners may typically be broken up into compact systems and distribution systems. Compact systems, also known as room air conditioners, are created to circulate air inside restricted or (semi-confined) spaces. All these Compact Units could be freestanding or installed in walls and windows. They might be formatted to get double-hung or slider windows and could be installed easily by the owner. New Air Conditioning Installation & Pricing | Buy an Air Conditioner
Window air conditioners will be the least expensive units, whilst through-the-wall models are slightly pricier and are held in position using a metal sleeve. Freestanding portable air conditioners are tall and are housed in a custom wheeled cabinet that has to be located near a window or another way of ventilation. In certain versions, the warmth collects in a tray and has to be emptied occasionally. average price of an air conditioner
What Determines the Price Differentials Between Units?
Cost differences are determined by attributes like accurate temperature adjustment, remote controls, controlled temperature alternatives, and heating capabilities. It's a good idea to think about a noisy air-conditioning unit for the living room or bedroom and be certain that the unit is installed to reduce noises that are prospective like rattling.
Other Costs to Think about
Most homeowners decide upon an ac unit without inquiring about additional accessories such as air conditioner covers (for winterizing) or air conditioner filters (which usually have to be replaced in whole house systems). A number of the more recent air conditioning units have an extended filter life and higher energy star ratings that will help save you money because of those energy costs. By choosing the right air conditioner for your 8, the difference can be made in saving cash and staying cool.
It is not possible to predict when you will require a brand new air conditioner, but by purchasing off-season, you can save money. Many homeowners opt for models if the unit is going to be used rarely. Before making a buy, shop around.
A ducted AC process is one that provides cooling to multiple chambers through a series of ducts that are usually installed at the roof of your home. This is a more intricate system which requires the installation of a skilled and is more expensive than other types of systems.
An underfloor heating system works by drawing warm air from the outside and turning it into cool air in your house. This is less expensive and more energy efficient than a ducted AC system and needs only the assistance of a skilled contractor for its setup. This works great in areas with low humidity.
A refrigerated air conditioner uses the evaporation of a refrigerant liquid to give cooling. It's the choice of households since it works in weather also lowers humidity inside homes.
Reverse cycle
This really is really a 2-in-one heating and heating unit that operates well in houses that experience seasonal hot and cold temperatures because the opposite cycle unit can be used as a heating and cooling system depending on your needs.
Split kind
A split AC system provides cooling comfort using an indoor and outdoor unit. The split kind is preferred to air conditioners because it is relatively easier to install. Depending on the size of the room you intend to trendy, the split type unit can be much more energy efficient compared to the usual window type air conditioner.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing the system that is right for you:
Mobile evaporative coolers will be the cheapest, followed by window mounted kinds. Split type units may be more expensive than the window and all types but not as much as the complicated ducted air conditioning program which entails another expense for installation.
Energy Expenses
In Australia, manufacturers are required to display the Energy Rating Label containing a star score for greenhouse gas emissions and also useful information regarding the energy consumption of an air conditioner. Total energy consumption is expressed in kilowatts per hour (KWH) while a top star rating means fewer greenhouse gas emissions. To save on energy bills, start looking for a unit that shows a KWH consumption.
The cooling capacity that's expressed in kilowatts ought to be proportionate to the size of the room. Know the dimension to reach the appropriate cooling capacity for your AC of your room.
Additional factors which can impact your selection include noise levels and appliance enhancements like the remote controller, timer and digital thermostat. These days is convenient and fast since you can compare technical specifications and features of several models online.

Little Red Rodent Hood is a 1952 animated short featuring Sylvester in parody of Little Red Riding Hood.
A grandmother mouse is telling her granddaughter a bedtime story, and so tells of Little Red Riding Hood (with the mouse as Riding Hood), and her visit to Grandma's House, unaware that the wolf (Sylvester) is watching her. He takes a shortcut to Grandma's, only to find four others already there, who he forces out. Red comes along, and he speaks his cue line, ("The better to eat you with") starting the chase.
He pursues Red down the staircase, only to be propelled further than intended by a stick of butter. Sylvester then decides to blow the house up with dynamite, but accidentally sticks it into Hector's mouth, who then sticks it in the cat's mouth until it blows up. Sylvester next disguises himself as Red's fairy godmother, attempting to electrocute Red with a rigged wand. Sylvester's incantation is "ragg mopp" in reference to the 1950 pop song Rag Mop by The Ames Brothers. However, Hector unplugs the power so that it doesn't work. Sylvester wonders if the wand is faulty ("What's this? Must've blown a fuse or somethin'") but Red simply tells him that nothing had happened ("It's a fake; nothing happens"). Hector then plugs it back in just as Sylvester tests it on himself ("Whaddya mean, nothin' happened?")
The mouse then tries to go outside, but is trapped once again. Underneath a cup, Sylvester watches as the mouse prepares something, revealed to be a miniature tank that packs a punch. He then traps the mouse by its hole. The grandmother describes how, to save herself, the mouse threw a stick of dynamite out, doing so to demonstrate. The mouse claims that it must have blown the cat up, to which Sylvester replies, "You're not just whistling dixie, brother!"

Our environment, 'Forever changing yet always the same" – to coin a well-known phrase.
Interpreting this means, although something is always there – say a farm, or a river, within that area, region, or ecosystem, it is always changing.
It's this change we need to manage as best we can and the implementation of Healthy Rivers Wai Ora in its existing or possibly reshaped form will mean some major changes for pastural and cropping farmers, horticulturalists, and fertiliser suppliers to name a few associated groups.
From a product perspective, Hortigro supplies products that can help mitigate some of the main issues that Healthy Rivers establishes its backbone from, these being nutrient loss from Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
The key phosphate we use (G-Phos Guano) is non-synthetic, is much more efficient, breaks down in water immediately yet is non-water soluble, has non-leaching, non-run-off, and no-lockup characteristics, low heavy metal contaminants, with around half as much or less generally applied in comparison to superphosphate (at sensible application rates, not silly rates), it's an absolutely wonderful product and very competative when quality, attributes, benefits, transport costs, and rate of P applied are calculated. G-Phos is another product where just fucussing on the 'price of P as the only consideration' simply doesn't work.
We have nitrogen products that support the environment more favouarably than for example urea N. Chemistry and technology has come a long way and we simply don't need to keep pouring on products that create most of the issues, there are alternatives and companies such as Hortigro import and retail quality products that not only consider the environment but also soil, plant, and crop health.
Summing this up, we believe we offer a long term and sustainable option for growing your crops; short term, non-logical solutions generally don't maximise outputs nor provide customer satisfaction.
Expect a difference!
