(Mesfin Mekonen and Bart S. Fisher) - Has a Nobel Peace Prize ever been given to a less deserving candidate than Abiy Ahmed, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, who received the award in 2019? While there has been some attention in the media to Abiy's deadly war in the northern region of Tigray in Ethiopia, little notice has been made regarding his ongoing repression of the Amhara people. Under the leadership of Abiy the government has attacked churches, suppressed independent media serving the Amhara people, committed extrajudicial killings, and encouraged ethnic cleansing. At least two million Amhara people have been killed or "disappeared" as a result of the massacres, including drone strikes, that have been undertaken against the Amhara.
The United States and the global community need to support fundamental human rights for the Amhara, the rule of law, and democracy. The failure of the Biden administration to condemn crimes being committed on a daily basis by the autocratic regime of Abiy Ahmed encourages its continuing war on the Amhara people, creating needless suffering and the risk of violence that could destabilize the Horn of Africa.
The world should listen to Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the United Nations Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide, who warned the global community on October 10, 2023, of the ongoing risk of "genocide and related atrocity crimes" in Ethiopia. The Lemkin Institute has alerted the world to "evidence of an ongoing process of genocide in the country against Amhara citizens."
We suggest that the U.S. government undertake a three-part strategy focused on cessation of hostilities, sanctions, and constitutional reform.
First, the United States can and must play a significant role in promoting a settlement of this ever-escalating war against the Amhara by the government of Ethiopia. At a minimum, the United States can promote collective efforts of local, regional, and global actors to bring about an immediate cessation of hostilities and attacks by the government of Ethiopia against its own people. Lasting peace in Ethiopia requires an urgent and inclusive dialogue and reconciliation.
Second, the White House and State Department should condemn the abuses the Abiy government is undertaking and condoning, and take steps to ameliorate the situation. These steps include the imposition of targeted sanctions on the government officials who are responsible for abuses or who fail to protect the lives of innocent civilians.
Third, the U.S. government should promote the drafting of a new constitution, an essential precondition to lasting peace and prosperity. Article 39 of the 1994 constitution of Ethiopia grants rights for any ethnic group to secede and form a nation. Thus, groups such as the Tigrayans and the Amhara currently have the constitutional right to secede, which of course sparks protracted civil war. The ability of the central government to govern is undermined when every ethnic group has the right to secede. The present constitution has exacerbated ethnic tensions. If not revised, it will lead to the destruction of Ethiopia.
Failure to act imperils the safety of millions of Amhara people and increases the risk of instability in the Horn of Africa, a region of great strategic importance to the United States.

Spelling: Ojibway, Ojibwa, or Ojibwe?
According to Professor Dennis Jones who teaches the Ojibwe language at the University of Minnesota, either Ojibwe or Ojibwe are actually correct spellings, but some people feel Ojibwe should be the preferred standardized spelling. I have chosen to use the Ojibwe spelling only because that is the way I originally learned it. If I had it to do over again I would probably use Ojibwe.
The Ojibwe Totemic or Clan System
According to Eddy Benton-Banai (1988) the Ojibwe clan system was a system of government and a division of roles and labor. William Warren, listed 21 totems (both by their Ojibwe name and in English), noting that, according to oral tradition, in the beginning there were only five. Originally the totem descended through the male line and individuals were not to marry within their own clan. According to Warren, the principle totems were the "crane, catfish, bear, marten, wolf, and loon" (Warren 1885:45). Warren indicated the English name for the more extensive list of 21 totems to be as follows: Crane, Catfish, Loon, Bear, Marten, Rein Deer, Wolf, Merman, Pike, Lynx, Eagle, Rattlesnake, Moose, Black Duck or Cormorant, Goose, Sucker, Sturgeon, White Fish, Beaver, Gull, and Hawk Warren 1885:44-45).
Ojibwe Spirituality
In general terms, Ojibwe spirituality centers around certain customs and beliefs, concepts, events, and objects. These include the sweatlodge, pipe, drums, singing, the naming ceremony, prayer, vision questing and guardian spirits, the Pow Wow, the medicine man or woman (shamans), medicine bags, dream articles and traditional stories regarding the Great Spirit, Creation, Original Man, The Flood, etc. Ritual and spiritual objects include sage,sweetgrass,tobacco, and cedar. Dogs were akin to the sacrifical lambs of early Christianity. There are 4 seasons and 4 grandfathers (or 4 powers of the universe) sit at the four cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West. The symbolic "four colors of man" are red,yellow,black, and white. Listen to Frances Densmore's Audio Cylinder Recordings (RealAudio Player – loads fast) or watch a QuickTime Movie about the Ojibwe (5 mgs).
Important Terms and Concepts related to the Ojibwe Creation Story:
Boo-zhoo' means "hello" (and indirectly makes reference to the idea that Ojibwe are related to Original Man or Anishinabe also known later as Way-na-boo'zhoo or Naniboujou, etc). Mi-gwetch' means "thank you" and Mishomis means "Grandfather." Since everything in the world was created before Original Man many things are referred to as "Grandfather."
Madeline Island in the Apostle Islands in Lk. Superior is significant because the Ojibwe believe their ancestors migrated there from the east coast of No. America and it was their final stopping place after 500 years of migration following the dream of the prophet of the First Fire to move or be destroyed. Teachings about Ojibwe history are passed down orally. Birch bark scrolls were used to write down things using pictographic writing (a mneumonic or memory device using pictures and symbols rather than a phonetic writing system).
Ah-ki' (the Earth) is a woman and had a family. The Sky is called Father. Nee-ba-gee'sis (the Moon) is called Grandmother. Gee'sis (the Sun) is Grandfather. Gi'-tchie Man-i-to' (Creator or Great Mystery) is the Creator. The four directions – North, South, East, and West are very important. The physical and spirtual duality is represented in the four directions. It is thought that medicinal plants when physically picked will not work unless there has been the proper spiritual behavior (such as offering tobacco, etc.).
"Gitchie Manito…took four parts of Mother Earth (earth, wind, fire, and water) and blew into them using a Sacred Shell [the Megis or Cowrie Shell]. From the union of the Four Elements and his breath, man was created" (Benton-Benai 1988:2-3).
According to Benton (1988:3) Anishinaabe (the older term for Ojibwe) means ani (from whence), nishina (lowered) abe (the male of the species). Others translate it as first male or first man or original man.
Original Man was lowered to the Earth according to this creation myth and all No. American tribes come from him.
The Ojibwe are a tribe because of the way they speak (Algonquian language).
Traditional people call North America "turtle island" because it is shaped like a turtle (Florida is one hind leg, Baja California is another, Mexico is the tail). In the Ojibwe Story of the Great Flood the turtle offered its back to Waynaboozhoo to bear the weight of the new earth. The new earth was formed from a piece of earth recovered by muskrat from the bottom of the water which covered the world.Cf. Noah & The Flood The expression "there are many roads to the High Place" means Nat. Americans should support and respect each other's traditions and one tribe's beliefs can shed light on the others. According to the Ojibwe creation story the Original Man's first responsibility after he was placed on Earth was to follow the Creator's instructions and walk the Earth and name all of the animals, plants, hills, and valleys. He also named the parts of the body.Cf. Genesis Many English words are derived from the Ojibwe language such as: Mississippi "Miziziibi"(large water), moccasin "makizin," moose "mooz," pecan "bagaan" (nut), toboggan "zhooshkodaabaan," Milwaukee "mino-aki," etc.. The rivers that run underground are the veins of Mother Earth and water is her blood, purifying her and bringing her food. Mother Earth implies reproduction and fertility and life.
The Creator, Gitchie Manido, sent the wolf to keep Way-na-boo-zhoo, Original Man, company while walking around creation. After they completed that task he ordered Original Man and Wolf to go different ways.
The wolf and man (the Ojibwe) are thought to be similar because both walked creation, mate for life, have a Clan system and a tribe, have had their land taken from them, have been hunted for their hair, have been pushed close to destruction and are recovering.
Dogs should never be at sacred ceremonies because dogs are the Ojibwe's brothers as much as the wolf was a brother to Original Man. Because the Creator separated the paths of the wolf and Original Man, the dog who is a relative of the wolf should be separate from contemporary people and should be kept separate from sacred ceremonies and where ceremonial objects are stored or it could endanger people's lives.
The Naming Ceremony
The Naming Ceremony, which remembers the sacrifices of Original Man in naming everything, requires that a medicine person be asked by the father and mother to seek a name for their child. The seeking can be done through fasting, meditation, prayer or dreaming and the spirits give the name. At a gathering the medicine person burns tobacco as an offering and pronounces the new name to each of the 4 Directions and everyone present repeats the name when it is called out. The Spirit World then accepts and can recognize the face of the child as a living thing for the first time. The Spirit World and ancestors then guard the child and prepare a place for him or her when their life ends. At the naming ceremony the parents ask for four men and four women to be sponsors for the child. The sponsors publicly vow to support and guide the child. This naming ceremony is thought to have been started by Original Man.
The Ojibwe Migration Story
According to oral tradition the Ojibwes and other Algonquin speakers were originally settled up and down the East Coast. Those who do not share this traditional view think it is more likely the Ojibwe lived next to Hudson's Bay and moved southward. Traditional Ojibwe spiritual leaders are creationists and do not believe in the Bering Strait hypothesis for the peopling of North America nor the evolution of human beings in a Darwinian sense. Traditional oral history indicates that the early Ojibwe planted corn and used canoes, overland trails, and sled dogs and sleds in winter. According to they oral traditions the Ojibwe Daybreak people (Wa-bun-u-keeg') vowed to stay in the east and may be the people the French referred to as the Abnaki. The prophet of the 1st Fire told the people to move or be destroyed. Most of the Daybreak people were later destroyed when the whites came. The Mide (shamans) remembered the prophet of the First Fire speaking of a turtle shaped island that would be the first of seven stopping places during the Ojibwe migration. There are two sites that fit the description. The first is at the mouth of the St. Francis River and the other is an island near Montreal. The 6 Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy were major adversaries during the migration. The seven major stopping places of the great migration were 1) turtle-shaped island (Montreal?) 2) Niagara Falls 3) the Detroit River 4) Manitoulin Island in Lk. Huron 5) Sault Ste. Marie 6) Spirit Island in Duluth and Madeline Island in the Apostle Islands of Lk. Superior. The Megis Shell rose up out of the water or sand at each locale and they knew when to stop when they found a turtle-shaped island (Madeline Island) and "the food that grows on water" (wild rice).
The Ojibwe have a 3 Fire confederacy composed of the Potawatomi (the fire people; keepers of the Sacred Fire), the Ottawa (the trader people), and the Ojibwe (the faith keepers; keepers of the sacred scrolls and the Waterdrum of the Midewiwin (the organized shamanic society for healers). All of the Anishinabe people are the nation of the Three Fires. Benton-Banai thinks the people were mistakenly referred to as the Chippewa. Densmore said that: "The meaning of the word Ojibwe has been the subject of much discussion. The derivation of the word from a root meaning "to pucker" has been conjectured. Many attribute this derivation to a type of mocassin formerly used by this tribe, which had a puckered seam extending up the front instead of having a tongue-shaped piece, as in present usage" (Densmore 1979:5-6). The Three Fires nation was attacked along the migration by the Sauks and Foxes and never fought the whites. They fought battles with the Dakota when they got to the Midwest. Benton-Banai thinks the migration started around 900 AD and took about 500 years to complete (1988:102). He believes the Sacred Fire was kept alive that long and the dream of the original 7 prophets was carried by many generations.
Ojibwe Dream Articles: Physical Objects Representing or Interpreting Dreams and Visions
According to Anthropologist, Frances Densmore (1867-1957), physical objects such as stone pipes, a horned cap, woven yard cords, paintings and drawings on cloth, blankets, headgear, miniature objects given to children, and woven beadwork such as headbands or neckbands worn tightly around the neck, frequently represented the subject of important dreams and visions, and represented them either by imitation or interpretion (Densmore 1979:78-86).
She wrote that: "It was the belief of the Chippewa that by possessing some representation of a dream subject one could at any time secure its protection, guidance, and assistance. There seems to be inherent in the mind of the Indian a belief that the essence of an individual or of a 'spirit' dwells in its picture or other representation" (Densmore 1979:79).
"[F]asting, isolation, and meditation" were the main methods to obtain a dream (Id.). The dream representation could be either made into an object or outlined as a picture and could be "either an exact representation or an article or outline more or less remotely suggesting a peculiarity of the dream. The representation published the subject of a man's dream but seldom indicated the nature of the dream" (Densmore 1979:80).
Stone was favored for its enduring properties and on older man told Densmore: "A picture can be destroyed, but stone endures, so it is good that a man have the subject of his dream carved in a stone pipe that can be buried with him. Many of his possessions are left to his friends, but the sign of the dream should not be taken from him" (Id.).
Protective charms could be either direct representations or symbolic representations of dreams. The possession of a woven yard cord with the color white woven into it, when tied around the waist of a woman who had dreamed of a safe trip on a large lake, was believed to provide protection to her when traveling (Densmore 1979:80-81,111). As Densmore points out: "A personal fetish was usually a crude representation of an object seen in a dream, either by the wearer or by someone who transferred it to him, together with the powers or benefits accruing from the dream" (Densmore 1979:111). A husband who dreamed of the bear when he was young, could strengthen his very ill wife by spreading a cloth with the image of a bear over her and later hanging it by her head as she was getting stronger. A man who had dreamed of a rainbow, thunder bird, lightning, and the earth (indicated by a circle) painted it on a blanket and wore it around his back for everyone to see and fastened it across his chest (Id. at 82). A man who dreamed of an unusually shaped knife made one and carried it in battle. A woman who saw a winged figure in a youthful dream carried a representation of the figure made of black cloth and bordered with white beads, "believing that she has secured supernatural guidance from its presence. . . . When in doubt she has 'always seemed to have a mysterious guidance' that has led her to a successful solution of her difficulties" (Id. at 86). Beadwork incorporating dream representations were common in headbands and neckbands (Id.).
After recounting various physical objects Densmore notes: "From the foregoing instances it is evident that the subject of a man's dream was clear to all intelligent observers, but its significance was a secret that he might hide forever if he so desired" (Id. at 83). One man related that he was able to increase his strength by wearing a horned cap similar to a horned animal seen in a dream. He believed "in the power of a dream article, as well as the making of an article in accordance with a dream" (Densmore 1979:85).
Dream articles were also given to children by their medicine man (or woman) namer. Densmore wrote that: "Miniature representations of dream objects were frequently hung on a child's cradle board, the child deriving a benefit connected with the nature of the dream. Such articles were usually given the child by the person who named it, and were in accordance with the namer's dream" (Densmore 1979:113). In Chippewa Customs is an illustration of an upside down lunate that was given to a small child to be worn around the neck.(Figure 8, Densmore 1979:55). The shaman who named the child (after dreaming for the name) gave the "token" to the small child "'in order that the child might care for him' This consisted of something that might attract the fancy of the child and was usually worn around its neck by a cord" (Id.). It is not clear from Densmore's description but the upside down lunate may be a dream article related to the namer's dream that gives him or her power, or it may be a representaion of the child's dream name. Densmore gives two clear examples of medicine man namers who gave dream articles to children they named and one example of a similar practice where a namer gave a dream article to an adult. The man, mentioned above, who dreamed of a peculiarly shaped knife, "always gave a miniature of this knife to they boys that he named. Another man always gave a little bow and arrow to his namesakes. A dream article given to an adult by a namer is noted in a subsequent paragraph" (the woven yard cord with white cord woven into it)(Id.). The power to name children is derived from a shaman's dream (Id. at 56). In the case of the adult woman who was named by another woman: "The namer. . . related [the namer's] dream, announced the name, and presented an article made to resemble the subject of the dream" (Id. at 58).
As Densmore notes: "It was considered desirable that the representation should be put in as enduring a form as possible," and as one old man told her, "stone endures" (Densmore 1979:80).
Ojibwe Rock Art: Physical Artifacts Representing or Interpreting Dreams and Visions
The physical objects of Ojibwe culture that perhaps most permanently recorded and represented their dreams, visions, representations of dream names, and mythical figures was the rock art. As Vastokas and Vastoukas (1973:44-45) have pointed out, based on their analysis of Henry R. Schoolcraft's descriptions, (1851-1857), there were actually two kinds of pictographic images that the Ojibwa would render in stone. Schoolcraft was himself part Ojibwa and was the Ojibwa Indian agent at Sault St. Marie, Michigan from 1822 to 1841. The Ojibwa pictography termed "Kekeewin" could be "incised upon birch bark scrolls as memory aids in the singing of Mide songs, as heraldic devices identifying clan affiliation or representing personal totems carved on the trunks of trees, as images placed on gravemarkers, and as glyphs pecked out or painted on rocks or boulders" (Vastoukas and Vastoukas 1973:43). These were generally known and understood. "Kekeenowin" on the other hand "are shamanistic renderings of visionary experiences" and were more symbolic, secret, and sacred rather than secular. "Muzzinabikon" or rock writing, most often recorded "the visionary experiences" of Ojibwa shamans (Vastoukas and Vastoukas 1973:44).
The Algonquian Language Family
The Ojibwe (Ojibwa,Ojibwe) language is spoken in the southern portions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario, and northern areas of MN, MI and WI. It is part of a larger language group called the Algonquian Language Family. The four main parts of the Ojibwe people are 1) The Northern Ojibwe in central Canada, 2) the SE Ojibwe in Ontario, northern Ohio, etc., 3) The Chippewa in MN, WI, and MI, 4) the Plains Ojibwe in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and ND (see Ojibwe Maps).
The Algonquian Language Family originally extended NE of a line from North Carolina to the Great Lakes excluding upstate NY and southern Ontario, and the Ohio Valley. Now it extends from the Maritime Provinces in Canada to Alberta, including Michigan and the western Great Lakes area, and scattered settlements in MT,KS,IA,OK and northern Mexico. The Algonquian languages include Micmac, Maliseet-Passamoquoddy, Etchemin, Penobscot, Caniba, Aroosagunticook, Sokoki-Pequaket, Western Abnaki, Pennacook, Pentucket, Loup A, Loup B, Massachusett, Wampanoag, Cowesit, Narragansett, Mohegan-Pequot, Montauk-Shinnecock,Quiripi,Unquachog, Mahican, Delaware languages, Munsee, Unami, Unalachtigo, Unami, Virginia Languages, Nanticoke-Conoy, Powhatan, Chickahominy-Appomattox,Pamunkey-Mattapony, Nansemond, Carolina languages, Chowan, Pamlico, Cree Languages, Eastern Cree, Naskapi, Montagnais, East Cree, Western Cree Atikamek, Moose Cree, East Swampy Cree, West Swampy Cree, Woods Cree, Plains Cree, Ojibwe languages, Northern Ojibwa, Algonquin, Severn Ojibwe, Eastern Ojibwe, Ottawa, Central Ojibwe, Lac Seul Ojibwe, Southwestrn Ojibwe, Saulteax, Potawatomi, Menomini, Fox, Sauk, Kickapoo, Mascouten, Miami-Illinois, Shawnee, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Atsina, Blackfoot, Blood, Piegan, Ritwan, Wiyot, Yurok.

2014 Emmys: Watch Billy Crystal's Touching Tribute to the Late Robin Williams
Amid all the celebrations and laughter during Monday night's 2014 Emmy Awards, there was one larger-than-life presence that was sorely missed: the late, great Robin Williams. And following the annual In Memoriam segment to honor the famous faces we've lost over the last year, Billy Crystal took the stage to honor his longtime friend and fellow comedian in a moving and heartfelt tribute.
If you missed it during Monday night's festivities, you can watch the tribute above, in which Crystal reminisces about his pal before playing clips of some classic Williams stand-up performances, forgoing the typical awards ceremony tradition. Williams' loss is still very much fresh in all of our minds, and his absence is very much felt throughout all of Hollywood.
He was a presence so big and so vivid that he simply couldn't be reduced down to a simple photograph, and Crystal's tribute truly is perfect.

Long time supporter, and thought I'd drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don't mind me asking what theme you're using?
(and don't mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the
theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for "royal cbd" on Google (would appreciate any feedback) –
it's still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself

Pied Piper Wanted: Better Lures for Pest Mammals
Robert Keyzers
Pest mammals (rats, stoats, possums, etc) are a scourge for NZ's native fauna, as well as a significant economic risk for our export food industry. Traditional poisoning and trapping methods for control have a limited ability to keep pest levels in check, especially at low population densities. It is therefore imperative to develop more advanced technologies to attract shy pest mammals into traps to effect complete eradication in significant bush or pastoral areas. This talk will describe some of our recent attempts to assist in this endeavour.
Rob is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry at Victoria University and leads the Natural Products Chemistry research group which studies metabolites from food and wine, and isolates and characterises novel bioactive compounds from marine organisms collected in NZ and the Pacific region.
Naming the un-named
Kate Bazeley
The Antarctic Peninsula was first sighted over 200 years ago, with the first people stepping onto land 80 years later, in around 1900. Now, there are approximately 35,000 tourists visiting the Antarctic Peninsula per year, as well as numerous scientific research stations being operated by several nations, both year-round and seasonally.
On a continent with no native population, how do you go about imposing names on such a vast blank canvas? If you are interested in Antarctic history, geography, science and culture, come along and learn about the Antarctic Peninsula region.
Kate studied geography at Newcastle University in the UK and is particularly interested in how glacial rivers influence their surrounding landscape. During her degrees she undertook fieldwork in Greenland and Iceland. Kate went on to work in the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre at the British Antarctic Survey for 4 years, where her main role was Secretary of the Antarctic Place-names Committee. She spent 3 months at Rothera, the main UK Antarctic base, in summer 2014. Her interests include polar regions and maps!

EDF Partners with Google Earth Outreach to Map Natural Gas Leaks Under U.S. City Streets
(NEW YORK, July 16, 2014) Environmental Defense Fund today unveiled interactive online maps showing natural gas leaks beneath the streets of Boston, Indianapolis and New York City's Staten Island. Leaks like these rarely pose an immediate safety threat, but the leaking natural gas – which is mostly methane – has a powerful effect on the global climate, carrying 84 times the short-term warming effect of carbon dioxide.
Maps for each city are available at http://edf.org/methanemaps. They constitute the first phase of a pilot project developed using specially equipped Google Street View mapping cars, under a partnership between EDF and Google Earth Outreach to explore and unlock the potential of new sensing and analytical technologies to measure environmental indicators in ways that have been difficult or impossible until now, and to make that information more accessible to everybody.
EDF also worked closely with several leading utilities to validate the findings, which offer a valuable new way for both system operators and regulators to focus and accelerate upgrades. Visitors to the website can nominate their communities as future candidates for the mapping project.
"New technology has given us vastly greater ability to make environmental data available for everyone to see, and to use that information to solve environmental problems by making better decisions," said EDF's Chief Scientist Steven Hamburg. "Methane leaks are a pervasive challenge throughout the natural gas industry. This is an ideal chance to put new science to work and to solve a major real-world challenge."
The maps were created using three Google Street View cars specially equipped with sophisticated methane sensing technology. EDF and researchers at Colorado State University spent two years experimenting with the system and developing analytical tools to not only locate, but also accurately assess the amount of gas escaping from even small leaks detected amid 15 million individual readings collected over thousands of miles of roadway.
"Environmental quality is an issue that affects everyone. Making this information more accessible can make a meaningful difference in people's quality of life," said Karin Tuxen-Bettman, Program Manager for Google Earth Outreach. "This pilot project is meant to explore and understand the potential for EDF and others to map and visualize important environmental information in ways that help people understand both problems and solutions."
Natural gas utilities routinely monitor their systems for safety, as required by state and federal regulations. But current methods involve specialized personnel and equipment, and until now it was difficult to determine how much gas is escaping from a given a leak. While major leaks are typically fixed quickly, vast numbers of others wait months or years for repair. By showing just how much gas is escaping, the technology developed by EDF and Google Earth Outreach illustrates the true scale of the problem.
"We are taking action, accelerating natural gas pipeline replacement to reduce leaks while enhancing safety and reliability, and this kind of technology and data offers valuable insights," said Susan Fleck, vice president, Pipeline Safety for National Grid. "We've taken a leadership role on a national level and support initiatives underway to reduce methane emissions. There is a significant investment that comes with these improvements and that can have an impact on our customers. We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by working with our regulators and elected leaders to develop appropriate funding mechanisms and policies to achieve these goals."
Leaks occur throughout the natural gas supply chain. Until recently, little was known about exactly how much was being lost or where. So in 2012, EDF embarked on the largest research project in its 47-year history: Sixteen independent studies to better understand how much methane is escaping as it makes its way to the end user. In addition to the work with Google Earth Outreach, these efforts include studies of well sites, processing facilities, and long distance pipelines, as well as commercial trucks and refueling stations.
"Until now, these smaller leaks have not been a priority in most places. Yet we can see from these maps just how much they can add up," said Mark Brownstein, EDF Associate Vice President & Chief Counsel for Natural Gas. "By pulling vast amounts of information together in a place that offers simple, clickable visualization, the platform is going to be an important advocacy tool, one that helps shift resources to an area of historic underinvestment."
EDF and Google Earth Outreach will be mapping methane leaks in more cities as part of the current project, and they are exploring the potential of mapping other air pollutants in the future. The EDF algorithms will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific paper later this year, and made available on an open-source basis.
Readers should note that the current maps were generated based on months of testing and analysis, with each leak verified with at least two sampling runs on dates noted on the maps. While they constitute a thorough and accurate picture of conditions at the time of measurement, the information in the maps has not been updated to reflect real-time status. Some of the leaks on the maps could have been repaired, while others may have developed. Anyone who smells gas, or is otherwise concerned about a leak in their neighborhood should contact their local utility immediately.
Correction: The number used in this press release to describe the heat-trapping strength of methane compared with carbon dioxide, while accurate, has been updated with one that is more widely used among experts.

Do you use "Keeper?" If you're not sure what it is, then you probably don't. It's a password manager that Microsoft has been bundling with some of its Windows 10 releases. Either way, there's a serious flaw in its design that you should be aware of.
Earlier in the year, Tavis Ormandy, a researcher on Google's Project Zero team, discovered a bug that saw Keeper injecting privileged user information into web pages, exposing all manner of private data unnecessarily to website owners.
The potential damage comes from a user being lured onto a hacker-controlled website, whose owner could siphon up the information (including literally every password stored by Keeper) and resell it, or use it to launch a highly targeted attack against a specific user or device.
The bug was reported, and a patch was issued. Then, in a later version, Ormandy found the same bug cropping up again. He had this to say about the matter:
"I've heard of Keeper, I remember filing a bug a while ago about how they were injecting privileged UI into pages. I checked and, they're doing the same thing again with this version.
I think I'm being generous considering this a new issue that qualifies for a ninety-day disclosure, as I literally just changed the selectors and the same attack works. Nevertheless, this is a complete compromise of Keeper security, allowing any website to steal any password."
Craig Lurey, the CTO of Keeper Security, had this to say when informed of the bug:
"This potential vulnerability requires a Keeper user to be lured to a malicious website while logged into the browser extension, and then fakes user input by using a 'clickjacking' technique to execute privileged code within the browser extension."
The two important takeaways here are as follows:
- The company reports that so far as anyone can tell, this flaw has not actually been exploited in the wild.
- Keeper Security has issued an emergency patch that has disabled the "Add to Existing" feature, which is where the problem code actually resides.
This temporary measure was implemented as a stop-gap until the bug can be properly patched.

Why Greenhouse?
Exactly one hundred years ago, in Harper's Weekly, Louis Brandeis made the frequently quoted statement that "sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." Brandeis's preceding sentence in the article may be less well known, but it is equally important: "Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases." I created Greenhouse to shine light on a "social and industrial disease" of today: the undue influence of money in our Congress. This influence is everywhere, even if it is hidden. I aim to expose and publicize that disease through technology that puts important data where it is most useful, on websites where people read about the actions, or inaction, of members of Congress every day.
It is my hope that providing increased transparency around the amount and source of funding of our elected representatives may play a small role in educating citizens and promoting change. If you use the extension when reading about a Congressional vote on energy policy, for example, maybe you'll discover that a sponsor of a bill has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the oil and gas industry. Or maybe you'll learn that the top donors to a member of Congress who opposes tort reform are lawyers and law firms.
The motto of Greenhouse is: "Some are red. Some are blue. All are green." What it signifies is that the influence of money on our government isn't a partisan issue. Whether Democrat or Republican, we should all want a political system that is independent of the influence of big money and not dependent on endless cycles of fundraising from special interests. The United States of America was founded to serve individuals, not big interests or big industries. Yet every year we seem to move further and further away from our Founders' vision.
I plan to continue to refine this resource and expand it into other areas. If you have any feedback or ideas, please send them to me using the form below. I look forward to hearing from you. And feel free to spread the word using the Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus icons above!
Even though I am only 16 years old, not quite old enough to vote, I am old enough to know that our political system desperately needs fixing. I hope that this tool is one step in that direction.

Bitcoin payroll platform Bitwage have announced that they've created a new initial coin offering (ICO) advisory firm, as well as extending their existing services to support Ether. Their ICO guidance service will be known as Inwage.
Inwage Will Help Companies Raise the Maximum Funding from Their ICO
Bitwage have launched a couple of new services to add to their existing crypto payroll platform. The first is Inwage – an advisory firm to help clients creating initial coin offerings to achieve the best possible results.
According to a Bitwage company blog post published earlier today:
"Inwage leverages our experience in blockchain to build a highly secure turnkey solution for companies of all sizes to launch ICOs."
As part of the Inwage service, companies will receive technical services comprising of:
- A complete website with options for Inwage to provide hosting.
- A secure signup process.
- KYC compliance.
- Payment processing.
- The development of necessary smart contracts.
- Auditing of existing smart contracts and website security.
Inwage are also offering clients various marketing services to boot. These have been developed with the help of a team of 16 marketers with experience targeting U.S., European, Middle Eastern, and East Asian markets. The services advertised by the blog post are:
- Targeting of online influencers.
- Digital marketing.
- Content marketing.
- Social media advertising.
- Marketing at events.
The Bitwage blog post proudly reports the success of the first project they collaborated with – Moria, a company looking to tokenise investment into the extraction of precious metals. According to the blog, Moria raised $50 million – a figure that was around 40% higher than the $30 million target initially set for the token sale. The post reads:
"In order to achieve this goal, they trusted the technical expertise and blockchain experience of InWage – which not only advised on the ICO, but also helped with platform development, technical services, and security compliance."
The second news from Bitwage is that they've launched support for Ethereum on their existing platform. They identified that firms who had run ICOs in the past struggled to pay their employees thanks to the difficulty many had encountered in setting up company bank accounts. Since many ICOs are created on the Ethereum network, it therefore made sense for Bitwage to extend their payroll services to support Ether too.
Bitwage have also stated that companies such as Status and Aragon had been using the service since January when the service was 'soft launched.'
The Bitwage platform was initially launched in 2013 by founders John Lindsay and Jonathan Chester. They've spent the last couple of years slowly expanding their Bitcoin payroll services across the globe. They provide the ability for employees and freelancers to receive payment directly in Bitcoin without the company itself needing to be crypto-literate. Last July, we reported on Bitwage's successful launch in the U.K.

Mackenzie Moss is hanging out with her friends Jewelz Blu, Harmony Wonder, and Alison Rey. The girls are gossiping. The conversation turns to Mackenzie's stepbrother, Rion King, who is totally a virgin. Mackenzie wants to pop Rion's cherry. Jewelz encourages Mackenzie to act on her desire, and the other two girls join in on egging her on. Mackenzie calls Rion in, then reaches out to touch his dick. He has an obvious boner, but Rion tries to disengage. Mackenzie escalates the situation by getting all her friends chanting that he should show them his cock. Eventually he agrees and whips his dick out before taking off.The girls are all impressed at how big Rion's dick is. They want more, so they agree that Mackenzie should call Rion back in and get more than just a show. They confirm that he's still hard, and then the girls take up a new chant that Mackenzie should suck Rion's dick. Eventually, Rion gives in and lets his sister wrap her lips around his hardon. A bit of a showoff, Mackenzie proves she can deep throat as her friends watch. Jewelz is super turned on by watching Mackenzie and Rion, and Harmony and Alison encourage her to join in. Soon Rion has two girls blowing him while two more come up with ideas for how Mackenzie and Jewelz can continue to rock his world.As Mackenzie and Jewelz get pulled into the sexual frenzy, Jewelz peels off Mackenzie's shorts so Rion can fuck his sister from behind. Meanwhile, Jewelz gets naked from the waist down so she can rub her own pussy until Rion pulls out of Mackenzie to bang Jewelz. At their friends' suggestion, Mackenzie climbs onto Jewelz's face to turn their encounter into a full on threesome. Then Mackenzie hops back on her brother's dick and rides him with Jewelz's help. Jewelz bends over the coffee table for a doggy style pussy pounding. Once he has gotten both girls off, he shoots his load on their faces so they can snowball his cum shot. All four girls are satisfied with their sexy adventure.

StepSiblingsCaught – Evelin: Step Sister Caught Masturbating – S2:E5 (Apr 16, 2016)
1Evelin thinks that she's alone as she slides her hand down her pants to get herself off. Little does she know that her stepbrother Nick Ross is watching her go at it. When he makes himself known and lets her know that he likes to listen and wants to watch, Evelin is disgusted. It's only after he says he's going to tell Evelin's mom that she decides to play ball.After coaxing Evelin into taking off her shirt, Nick next asks her to show him how she masturbates. He points out that she has a collection of toys under the pillow and that he wants to see what she does. Evelin agrees, but soon she is distracted by Nick's offer to let her suck his cock. Once she puts her indecision aside, she is soon happily slurping and sucking at her long hard treat.Nick isn't about to pass up his opportunity to full-on fuck his stepsister, so once he's had enough of getting his cock sucked he urges her up onto her knees on the bed. Her bald slit is at the perfect height for him to slide right in, and soon he is buried balls-deep in her tight twat and happily stroking away. When Evelin flips onto her back and rubs her clit in a race to climax, Nick isn't far behind. Pulling out, he blasts his cum all over Evelin's small boobs and belly to prove his total satisfaction.

Pool Noodle Lightsabers
Step 1: Measure one pool noodle and mark the middle.
In this case, I already had one lightsaber completed, so I used it as a guide. This is not a science. It does not need to be exact. Hopefully no one will be comparing length... they're little kids after all.
Using a sharpie or similar works well. The end will be covered by tape when all is said and done.
Step 2: Cut.
Use a serrated knife to cut the pool noodles in half. The cut surprising easily. Like buttah.
Step 3: Admire your work.
Step 4: Assemble your supplies.
In additions to you pool noodles, you will need: duct tape (silver, grey or both), black electricians tape, scissors.
Step 5: The end.
Cover the end of the of the pool noodle first. They are a bit of an awkward size in that one piece will not cover the end completely, and doing a simple 'x' will leave little corners exposed. We found this to be the most effective way to cover the end of your lightsaber 'hilt'.
Step 6: Cover your hilt.
Using the duct tape and electrical tape, wrap the bottom eight or so inches of the pool noodle to form the base of your hilt. You can chose to use all black, all grey, all silver, or a combination of all three.
Step 7: Spend hours and hours and hours detailing the hilts.
Cut lines and pieces, impossibly tiny square and thin strips of your various tapes in order to create the lightsaber hilt detail. Stay up until midnight several nights in a row in order to complete a dozen unique, one-of-a-kind pool noodle lightsaber.
Yes, THEY ARE EACH DIFFERENT. Have I mentioned that I can be a little neurotic?
Cost break down
- pool noodles from Walmart $1.97/2 = $.98 each
- 2x duct tape, 1x electrical tape ~$11.00, used approx half so $5.50/12 = $.46 each
TOTAL $.98 + $.46 = $1.44 each
Since these made up the majority of the "loot bag", it was a very frugal parting gift for all of the kids who attended. The kids

If you are a plumber and named Mario, listen up. BFGoodrich has free tires with your name on them.
BFGoodrich has free tires for you, but only if you are a plumber named Mario. We're sorry, but if you are a plumber named Princess Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, or Bowser, the company has nothing to offer you but banana peels, mushrooms, Koopa shells, and the Starman. Even if your name is Luigi and you have a brother named Mario, it's still a no-go.
If you are of a certain age and scratching your head right now, the program gets its inspiration from one of the top video games series of all time, Mario Kart and Super Mario. Mario is the hero guy, a plumber who holds a wrench when not holding a white Wii steering wheel or Nintendo controller. The give-away program is intended to draw attention to the BFGoodrich Tradesmen Support Program. The company says it's a nod to the "…hard-working men and women who build and maintain our world." Now, this may be a bit politically incorrect, but we are guessing there are not many women who are named Mario. Maybe we are just old-fashioned.
This third Friday in September is National Tradesmen Day. The day was founded by a tool company back in 2011. America has over 50 million employed tradespeople. From September 20th through the 27th, BFGoodrich is accepting applications for the free tires from anyone named Mario who is a plumber.
If you are a tradesperson, you know that tires are an important tool of your trade. The BFGoodrich Tradesmen Program helps to make it easier for tradesmen and tradeswomen by reducing downtime and costs because of tire and vehicle issues. The program has many benefits, including 30-day test-drives on BFGoodrich tires, 24-hour worksite assistance, and special pricing on select models, including the company's legendary All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires.
If you do happen to be a plumber and are, in fact, named Mario, you can cruise on over to the BFGoodrich entry ballot to enter to win the tires. You'll need to be a U.S. citizen to win and BFG is going to ask you to provide some proof that you are indeed named Mario and know which is the business end of a pipe cutter. BFGoodrich wants you to be aware that supplies are limited (aren't they always), so it makes sense to enter now to win. Ten plumbers name Mario will be awarded four free tires if they act fast.
