Average house prices in Scotland increased by 0.2% in December 2016 and sales volumes reached their highest level for nine years, the latest index shows.
Year on year prices are now up by 2.2% to an average of £172,204 but while growth is ahead of the 2.1% annual rise for Wales and 1.3% in London, Scotland is still behind England, according to the Your Move index.
The Shetland Islands saw the biggest price growth in December at 10.9% and East Renfrewshire finished 2016 with the top growth of 11.5%, overtaking Edinburgh. Only Aberdeen saw prices fall with an annual decline of 4%.
Overall the index report says that the market in Scotland has largely seen steady growth since the spike in anticipation of the introduction of the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax in April 2015 and the subsequent fall in prices.
But Scotland has largely escaped the price drops seen at the top of the market in England and lower priced property has outperformed the top of the market growing 1.9%. The rise is supported by solid increases in areas such as West Dunbartonshire, up 7.1%, and Clackmannanshire up 6.1%.
The cheapest three areas, however, have all seen small dips in value over the last year with Na h-Eileanan Siar (the Western Isles), where prices average £105,376 recording a fall of 0.2%, North Ayrshire down 5.9% and Inverclyde down 9.4%.
Scotland's mid-market has been driving house price growth over the year. As well as recording the top monthly ruse, the Shetland Islands saw a new price peak of £163,997 which pushed annual price growth to 13.2%. Argyll and Bute also recorded double digit growth of 10.6%.
There was also solid growth in prices in areas such as Glasgow, up 5.9% annually, neighbouring South Lanarkshire up 5.7% and Dundee up 5.1%.
The latest transaction data from the Office of National Statistics suggests that the cut in interest rates to 0.25% in August has provided a boost to the market in Scotland. Sales in September were up 10% on the previous month and were 9% higher than September 2015, the highest for the month since 2007.
'Scotland's market continues to make steady progress, not hitting the highs of some other parts of the UK, but also missing the lows. It enters the new year in a good place,' said Christine Campbell, Your Move managing director in Scotland.
Alan Penman, business development manager for Walker Fraser Steele, part of the LSL group of companies, also believes that the solid mid-market helped Scotland's property market remain strong in 2016.
'The relatively modest growth belies an underlying strength, which is now less dependent on the relatively small number of high value sales that can sway the average figures,' he pointed out.

Wood Group's takeover of Amec pivots on asset buyers
27 July 2017. By Andrew Boyce.
Securing regulatory clearance for a merger often hinges on two things: agreeing to sell off assets and finding the right buyer for the hived-off operations.
The second half of that formula could prove a challenge for John Wood Group, the oilfield-services company seeking to acquire North Sea rival Amec Foster Wheeler.
Wood Group says it is prepared to sell the "majority" of Amec's upstream oil and gas business in the UK, hoping this will convince the Competition and Markets Authority to bless the union.
But skeptics note that one conceivable asset purchaser, Petrofac, has come under investigation for suspected bribery and money-laundering offenses. Petrofac is also understood to be a key competitor to Wood Group, meaning the CMA might be reluctant to allow it to buy the operations.
Might this, they ask, spell trouble for Wood Group's plan to purchase Amec in an all-share deal valued at 2.23 billion pounds, or $2.71 billion when it was announced?
A partial answer emerges from a UK competition review of a previous takeover by Wood Group. That investigation identified several rival companies that could, presumably, pick up divested assets. They include Norwegian rival Aker Solutions.
Whether these potential suitors would be willing to buy the assets at the right moment and the right price is another matter altogether.
Wood Group has said that it expects to close the buyout this year. Petrofac, Aker and other companies in the industry declined to comment for this article.
Remedy offer
In May, Wood Group said it had proposed a "remedy" aimed at securing the CMA's approval for the takeover. The offer would involve divesting "the majority of Amec Foster Wheeler's upstream oil and gas business located in the UK".
Aberdeen-based Wood Group said it might have to offer additional remedies but didn't "anticipate having to do so." The offer should be "sufficient," the company said.
Whether the CMA will require any concessions remains to be seen. The watchdog has until Aug. 7 to make an initial decision on the deal.
Both Wood Group and Amec provide services to oil and gas explorers and producers. This "upstream" work sees them designing, building and maintaining offshore oil platforms, for example.
Suitable buyers?
Clues to how Wood Group might view the CMA investigation can be found in a review conducted by the UK regulator's predecessor in 2011.
At the time, Wood Group had agreed to acquire Production Services Network, another oilfield-services provider with operations in the North Sea. In reviewing the takeover, Britain's Office of Fair Trading assessed its impact on competition for upstream services including the engineering, construction and operation of oil and gas facilities.
The OFT's decision to approve the deal says that Wood Group and PSN competed for those services with rivals including Petrofac, Amec and Aker.
Wood Group and PSN argued in that review that they "faced competition" from "a number of suppliers" already operating in the North Sea. That argument was "confirmed" by most of the customers the OFT contacted in its investigation, the decision says.
The merging parties also argued that "smaller competitors" such as Salamis and Altra/OGN could "easily expand" their operations in the North Sea since there were "no capacity constraints or other obstacles" preventing them from doing so.
Wood Group and PSN also argued that expansion by companies operating in other locations was "feasible within a short timeframe" because the resources needed to do so were "readily available."
The OFT decision mentions Aibel and Fabricom in Norway, Stork and Jacobs in the Netherlands, and Worley Parsons in Australia. Wood Group and PSN stated that the costs associated with expansion into the North Sea were generally "low."
All of this suggests that there should be no lack of suitors for Amec's upstream oil and gas business. Whether any of those companies would be interested in purchasing the assets — and at what price — remains to be seen.

Few articles of clothing have caused controversy in recent history like the advent of the romphim. What's a romphim, you may ask? Well, it's basically a romper, aka a onesie with shorts that the ladies have been rockin' during summer for pretty much ever. They're super convenient and hella comfy, but for some odd reason, boys romper wearing days peaked during their toddler years. Until now. Some marketing genius picked up on the fact that renaming rompers to the SUPER masculine rompHIM would entice the more fashion-inclined men to suit up. Enter Taika Waititi, who woke up one day and made the conscious decision to blow everyone's minds and rock a motherf*cking PINEAPPLE PRINT romphim to Nerd Coachella, aka San Diego Comic Con.
Now, you may be thinking this fashion choice is no big deal. Well, you're an idiot. Taika, who is a galactic treasure and a gift that keeps on giving that NONE OF US deserve to receive, rocked the sh*t out of this romphim. But he also accomplished something that no mere mortal could ever do, and that's UPSTAGE JEFF GOLDBLUM'S ENTIRE EXISTENCE. Do you know how impossible that is? It's never been done. And anyone who tried to overshadow JG only comes off looking like a megalomaniac try-hard that no one will remember a year from now. Not Taika, though. Taika was every sun in the galaxy shining at once, while Jeff graciously played the role of a supporting moon. In that moment, everyone said " Chris who?" because the best anyone in the MCU is forever Taika Waititi. Even Thor himself can't help but gaze lovingly at Taika.
He already spoke to my soul when the first trailer for Thor dropped and was chock-full of Flash Gordon-meets-Gladiator goodness. But this? This is too much and also not enough. We are all hashtag blessed to live during the rise of Taika.

Not much to say about this one.
an empty bottle serves
as envelope for the
letters I'll send
I'll throw it far out
into the river that flows
right beneath my feet
down from your face
into the ocean
it may take a few years
one or two times
circling around the arctic
but one day
someone will find
what I've send
from the past
into the future
the truth will be
uncovered the curtain
will fall the lights
will shine through
the windows the eyes
into yourself
and enlighten
what's been dark inside you
an empty bottle
thrown into the sea
contains my soul,
my secrets
I leave them up to you
when someone reads this lines
I'll be gone for long
my body deceased, my bones, dust.
time is a tricky thing
running fast, ticking slow
you watch a clock and time runs
blinks and seconds blur into
minutes, days, years.
what you remember
is not the truth
it's the history you wrote
words packed into pictures
stored within your head
you may missed a few
things that were important.
like when I said: "Be honest"
true words were never spoken,
so let me say this now
we're done.

"Don't text and drive" A Recipe for Disaster
If you can read this message, you may be "glty as chrgd" of texting while driving. Even if you don't text while driving, you are smart, but may soon be in the minority. More than 20 percent of ALL drivers, not just teens, admit to sending text messages while driving. Chances are that someone driving next to you or toward you is trying to do more than one thing at a time while driving. We all need to be more cognizant of exactly how dangerous this practice is to everyone driving on the highway. Come to find out, this shorthand way of communicating is causing our highways to be clogged with distracted drivers and, more importantly, a significant number of completely avoidable accidents.
Following quickly on the heels of reports that driving while tired can be as dangerous as driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, recent studies support the proposition that driving while texting can be equally as dangerous. In fact, it may be more dangerous than violating the most common DUI standard, of .08 blood alcohol level.
At the federal level, the Distracted Driving Summit, being held yesterday and today, is holding discussions about banning texting while driving. United States Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood opened the summit with this comment, "To put it plainly, distracted driving is a menace to society." And, while it has been discussed in many state legislatures, few new laws have been enacted. Utah, one of the exceptions, has taken a tough stance on the issue, passing a law which took effect in May stating that offenders face up to fifteen (15) years in prison for causing an accident which results in injury or death. The legislation was in direct response to a 2006 accident which resulted in the death of two men (fathers, husbands, scientists) who were killed by Reggie Shaw, a young Utah resident.
The Today Show on NBC is one of many who have highlighted this topic lately, including questions about whether public service announcements directed toward texting while driving produced overseas are too graphic to display on American television. The University of Utah and Virginia Tech have teamed up to study the issue. Their result, simply stated by Professor David Strayer, "It's crazy to be doing it."
In the simple words of a billboard I recently saw in Nashville, Tennessee: "dn't txt. jst lstn."

Prices for all residential properties in the Edmonton Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) for July were down from the previous month according to the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton. The average all residential price was $372,910 (down 1.4% from June) due mostly to the drop in price of single family homes to $436,948 (down 1.8%). The drop was not felt across all categories with condo prices up 0.4% at an average of $256,708 and duplex/rowhouse prices up 1.4% from June at an average of $356,237. While all residential average prices were down month over month, they still remained 3.3% higher than July of last year.
"This small dip in prices is expected due to our higher inventory and lower sales numbers. We continue to be surprised by how strong prices have been this year compared to last when we had higher sales and very tight inventory. The 'wait and see' attitude of buyers seems to be diminishing, but people continue to be cautious," explains Geneva Tetreault, Chair of the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton.
With reported all residential sales in July down 9.8% from June and down 2.8% from last year, average days on market is up to 50. This is up from 46 average days on market in July 2014. Single family dwellings spent an average of 48 days on market in July of 2015, duplex/rowhouses were at 43 days, and condos at 54 days.
"We have seen the biggest drop in condominium sales year to date at 14%. That drop coupled with an increase of condo listings of 17% explains why condos are taking longer on average to sell. Some of these buyers may be moving over to duplex/townhouse options which is the only residential category showing an increase of sales of 6% year to date." Tetreault continues, "We are seeing the effects of many condominium projects that broke ground when inventory was coming onto the market recently. Condominiums continue to offer the best price point for those entering the housing market and the ease of care and smaller size that appeal to an older demographic."
Higher priced properties continue to keep pace with sales of last year, likely contributing to the strong average prices in 2015 so far. There were 73 properties over a million dollars sold by this time last year, the exact same number as this year.
Inventory is still strong at 7,226 for the Edmonton CMA at the end of July 2015, up slightly from 7,177 in June and much higher than the 5,609 available in July of 2014. All residential listings were up year over year by 14.9% but down month over month from June by 2.2%.

Amazon cutting benefits to fund pay rises, union says
Online retailing giant Amazon has been criticised for cutting benefits for UK warehouse workers, offsetting part of a pay rise announced this week. In the UK, pay will rise from £8.20 an hour in London to £10.50, while outside London the rate rises from £8 an hour to £9.50. The pay rise applies to 250,000 workers in the US, 17,000 in the UK and tens of thousands of seasonal workers. Amazon's pay rise comes after widespread strikes by workers across Europe. Amazon is also facing pressure from workers in the US, and the pay rise coincides with a cross-US movement by retail unions to raise wages to a minimum of $15 an hour, the so-called "Fight for Fifteen" movement.

When the weather called for a blizzard, of course these girls decided it would be the perfect time to make their arrival. Mom and Dad had to drive an hour in the snow, got detoured because of a jackknifed truck, and were supposed to deliver in Portland, another two hour drive....on a good day! Instead they stayed in Farmington, and labored through the storm. This amazing mama is my sister, and she was an absolute bad ass during labor. There was no sign of pain until she was 8ct dilated! The girls Daddy, was such great support for my sister, and it was so sweet to see his excitement and love for my sister. Kirstin's Doula, Mary, who is also a mama to twins, was great support and encouragement. I've been in the delivery room many times, but witnessing a family member labor and deliver was a first for me..... and let me tell you...taking photos with tears in your eyes is not an easy thing to do! I am so grateful to be able to capture my sweet little nieces enter the world. Thank you so much Kirstin & Jamey for giving me the honor of being there! Congratulations!

Foto 1: Sergio Limonta (Territorio_Anselmo #1), 2007, ph Massimo CamploneFoto
2: Sergio Limonta, Motivo da Giardino, 2016, ph. M. Camplone
For this exhibition "Politics of Nature", i show two works. The first "Anselmo Territory Project", in photographic form documenting an intervention in the nature, made in 2007s and placed at the Foundation's entrance. The second work is "Garden motif", we decided to place it outside, actually it may have different positions, but we thought it was better placed it in the nature. For the "Anselmo Territory", had created a statue made in cardboard and plastic, reproducing a sculpture realized by Giovanni Anselmo of 1968s, sculpture eating salad. Mine was located in the urban nature's remnants, in the streets, in the railways where the habit of throwing garbage or other stuff is still alive. On the one hand there was this collective violence of territory, on the other hand I was really fascinated by their artificial appearance which created a dialogue with the territory. Here I did the same, just like a guardian. Under the sculpture there was an explanation advising who ever found it that, however, it wouldn't have been harmful to the environment, despite bad weather. The second work "Garden motif" is more recent, was born this year. It made up of circles forming a square according to diagonal lines, then multiplied on four sides, filling all space and creating different prospectives. The title was inspired by garden furniture from the 40s and 50s. The circles were put together by strings for resolving its lightness and elegance in a, we could say, domestic nature.

Golden Silents / Silent Film Clips / Message Board
George O'Brien (1900-1985)
"The Chest"
Handsome George O'Brien was born in San Francisco on April 19th, 1900. The son of a San Francisco Chief of Police, John O'Brien, George spent much of his childhood around the stables housing the police horses; it was here he learned to ride, something that would be useful in his later film career.
A star athlete at Santa Clara College, CA, he signed up for the US Navy in 1917, winning four medals serving as a stretcher bearer, and also became the US Pacific Fleet's Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion in 1918. At the end of the war he tried several careers, but eventually ended up in Hollywood, and with the help of Cowboy star Tom Mix, whom he had befriended, landed a job as an assistant cameraman. He had appeared in several early silents, usually uncredited parts, when director John Ford picked the unknown Geoorge for the starring role in his Western "The Iron Horse" (1924). The fight sequence with Fred Kohler, in which he lost his shirt revealing his athletic physique led him to being nicknamed "The Chest". He became a popular star appearing in several films including an early Howard Hawks comedy "Fig Leaves" (1926) in which he spent much time in a loin cloth and showed great flair for light comedy.
Janet Gaynor with George O'Brien in Murnau's classic "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans" (1927)
In 1927 German director F. W. Murnau cast him as "The Man" opposite Janet Gaynor in Murnau's first American movie "Sunrise"; the movie had a lukewarm reception on its initial release, but is now regarded as one of the finest movies, not just of the silent era, but, of all time. George continued to make movies, making a successful transition into talkies via Darryl F. Zanuck's retelling of the story of "Noah's Ark" (1929). It was during the 1930's that George established himself as a popular star of the B Western, consistently appearing in the top 5 money makers list of that decade thanks to movies such as "Daniel Boone", "Riders of the purple Sage" and "Mystery Ranch".
With war looming at the start of the 1940's, George re-enlisted into the US Navy even before Pearl Harbor. He did so with such little publicity that his studio had to issue a statement to his many fans who wondered why their favorite star had not made any more movies. First serving as a recruiter, then as a "beach master", George was involved in many of the Pacific invasions and left the Navy at the end of the war with the rank of Captain, having four times been recommended for the rank of Admiral. He would later serve in the Naval Reserve in both the Korean and Vietnam wars.
After the war, George found it difficult to return to movies and was helped out by John Ford with roles in his movies "Fort Apache" and "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon". After making a movie with The Three Stooges in 1951, George appeared less and less on the screen, his final role in the 1964 in John Ford's "Cheyenne Autumn", after which he retired to ranching. Sadly, he spent his last years bedridden following a heart attack, and died as the result of a stroke on September 4th 1985 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As befitting a Naval hero, he was buried at sea.
George was 6 foot tall and had brown hair, brown eyes and an athletic body, which he was not afraid to show off (thank you, George!). He married his co-star in "Riders of the Purple Sage", Marguerite Churchill in 1933; the marriage lasted until 1948 and produced two children, Darcy and Orin O'Brien. - Bio courtesy of Diane (damfino) from the Golden Silents Message Board

Looking Back
Looking Back: Exploring the First Era of the Greater Houston Port Bureau 1919 to 1939
Charting the early days of the Port Bureau is a little like navigating the waters of the Houston Ship Channel itself: complex and full of turns. If there was a newspaper announcement of the new offices or photographs of the first staff, these seem to be lost in time. However, from the records that remain, one thing is clear – leaders were eager to build business for Houston's port, and the Greater Houston Port Bureau was established from that goal.
Determined to make the inland Port of Houston a prominent player in the global shipping community, port director Colonel B.C. Allin visited other ports to review their operations. He became convinced that port promotion was a neglected activity. The general outlook among port authorities seemed to be that if a port was there, it would be utilized, but Allin and Houston's business leaders refused to fall victim to this mindset. There was too much potential and too much at stake to let the value of Houston's port go unnoticed.
The Port Commission, Houston Merchant's Exchange, Houston Cotton Exchange, Houston Chamber of Commerce, City of Houston, and Maritime Committee of the Houston Cotton Exchange sponsored the creation of the Houston Port Bureau, the original name of the organization.
According to Marilyn McAdams Sibley, in her book "The Port of Houston: A History", the Port Bureau began operations on June 1, 1929, by establishing offices in Houston, New York, Kansas City, and Dallas. Its purpose? Promote the Port of Houston, solicit tonnage on its behalf, and provide services to shippers.
Our records show Edmund Pincoffs, president of Maurice Pincoffs Company, was the first chairman of the Port Bureau. "Houston Port and City: The Houston Port Bureau", authored by T.L. Evans in November 1930, names an extensive list of businessmen and officials as comprising the first board:
- Colonel B.C. Allin, representing the Port Commission
- W.N. Blanton, representing the Houston Chamber of Commerce
- J.M. Lykes, representing the Maritime Committee of the Houston Cotton Exchange & Board of Trade
- Raymond C. Stone, representing the Houston Merchants Exchange
- H.M. Crosswell, representing private terminals
- Thomas Kehoe, representing the Houston Cotton Exchange & Board of Trade
- Col. R.C. Kuldell, representing the Houston Chamber of Commerce
- George Pruter, representing the City of Houston
- Sigmond Rothschild, representing the Houston Foreign Trade Club
- A.D. Simpson, representing Houston banks
Completing this picture of the exciting, broad commitment to building port business were the offices inland and at home in Houston:
- Kansas City: Thomas P. Bartle, 433 Board of Trade Building
- New York City: John C. Mayfield, 1512 Whitehall Building, 17 Battery Place
- Dallas: F.C. Dezendorf, Jr., 1113 Cotton Exchange Building
- Houston: T.L. Evans, General Manager; H.S. Crawford, Assistant; Houston Chamber of Commerce Building
Evans wrote in the same 1930 article: "All of these gentlemen entered the work of the Port Bureau with an excellent background, gained through their many years connection with companies, which actively engaged in shipping, or handling merchandise through the Port of Houston."
The fledgling organization set quickly to work. An early endeavor included publishing the "Houston Port Register", a weekly magazine offering articles pertinent to Houston's tonnage, and most importantly, a sailing schedule.
The first few months of operations must have been heady days for the Houston Port Bureau as they pursued the goal pushing the cargoes to Houston. The U.S. stock market crash in October 1929 surely created more than a few devastating moments for these maritime commerce pioneers, but the strength of their commitment remained strong. In spite of such a tremendous setback to the economy, Evans records that "the Houston Port Bureau has grown to be a most important adjunct to the port and its business."
Houston was slower than other cities to initially feel the effects of the Great Depression, and some industries took several years before seeing the full impact. By 1933, tonnage sank to pre-Depression levels as fewer ships called on Houston. The port's much-celebrated grain elevator, which handled nearly 3 million bushels in 1932, sat largely empty between 1933 and 1935. Longshoreman ranks shrank to skeleton crews.
Even when tonnage began to slowly rebound, the value of cargoes had dropped considerably. Countless individuals and organizations worked hard to keep commerce flowing. It was the refining industry, however, that was a lifeline for the Houston Ship Channel. Fuel was still needed to operate machines and vehicles, and the country needed petroleum byproducts for industrial use.
Technology worked in Houston's favor during the Depression, and by extension, eventually brought a major change to the Houston Port Bureau. Long-haul trucking took hold in the 1930s. Their ability to reach more places made truckers more flexible than railroads, giving truckers a successful competitive edge. Men displaced by the Depression could set up their own trucking company with little capital, and regulation was non-existent.
The Port of Houston's position 50 miles inland was a distinct advantage over shoreline ports. Commodities such as cotton that once chugged by rail to Galveston or New Orleans began to flow to Houston's port. In response, New Orleans revived barge traffic on the Mississippi River basin and joined with the railroads to provide rail-barge service.
These and other competitive moves created rate structure inequities in the logistics chain. Sibley records that the barge-rail rate gave New Orleans an advantageous rate that included areas into the New Mexico. "For example," she wrote, "the all-rail rate from Tucumcari, New Mexico, to Houston was $2.42; to New Orleans, $2.76; and to Memphis, $2.26. But the rail-barge rate from Tucumcari through Memphis to New Orleans was $2.41."
The rate disparities and intense competition prompted a reorganization of the Houston Port Bureau. On June 1, 1936, the organization became a part of the Houston Port and Traffic Bureau, with Harold B. Cummins as general manager. Sibley quotes J. Russel Wait, general manager of the Port of Houston, in describing the Port Bureau's expanded role. "Its prime function is to keep informed on rate adjustments initiated by hostile transportation agencies", explained Wait in his report of 1936. "These continual efforts to divert tonnage to and from the interior and heretofore there has been so single agency responsible for combating such activities."
Cummins, leading the Houston Port and Traffic Bureau, Wait, and C.E. Holloman, manager of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, hounded regulatory agencies, including the Interstate Commerce Commission, to alleviate the inequities in the rate structure. The inequities, however, went largely unresolved. In the meantime, progress in other areas continued. The Houston Ship Channel was deepened and widened twice and navigation lights were installed for night navigation.
By the end of the 1930s, the Port of Houston was ranked as the number one port in the South and the fourth largest port in the nation. David Falloure, in his book "Sheer Will", puts tonnage near 30 million and cites paper goods, the resumption of grain exports, coffee imports, and automobile imports/exports as the leading cargoes. He also notes the rise of scrap metal exports – salvageable metal from old cars, appliances, etc., – with the bulk of it headed for Japan. An ominous omen, perhaps, for the time was to follow that would change the world and the Port Bureau along with.
From its first decade to the present, the Greater Houston Port Bureau was been noted for its ability to support the needs of Houston's maritime community. Sibley includes a quote from the "Houston Port and City" in describing the Port Bureau's work: "… the bureau proved a flexible agency that was reorganized from time to time during the following decades to meet the special needs of the times."
Editor Note: Historical data has been collected from the Greater Houston Port Bureau's archives, online digital archives of newspapers and journals, and the books "The Port of Houston" by Mark Lardas; "Sheer Will" by David H. Falloure; and "The Port of Houston: A History" by Marilyn McAdams Sibley.

Environmental And Economic Evaluation Of Conventional And Organic Production Systems In The Canadian Prairie Provinces
Free (open access)

S. Kulshreshtha & C. Klemmer
Changing agriculture current production practices (called conventional production system) to an organic production system can reduce the need for synthetically produced agricultural inputs, and thereby reduce emissions. However, this change may also generate other co-benefits (or costs) to society. The focus of this study is to evaluate the implications of converting a conventional agriculture production system to an organic one for greenhouse gas emissions, level of agricultural production, farmer net income, and for regional and national level changes. The analysis was undertaken for the three Prairie Provinces in Canada. Since there are several types of changes resulting from the conversion, a trade-off analysis was used to evaluate the overall desirability of the two production systems. The study concluded that converting land under a conventional production system to an organic production system reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves farm income, Canadian gross domestic product, household income, and employment. However, it also results in a reduction in physical quantity of agricultural production, and thus has implications for food self-sufficiency. Keywords: organic crop production, greenhouse gas emissions, farm income, sustainable food production, trade-offs. 1 Introduction The impact of agriculture on the environment has come under increasing scrutiny (Hanley [1]). Over the past century, the climate on earth has become increasingly

I don't swear often after reading a comic book but I did this time! I almost couldn't even believe what I had just read! I try to keep the reviews light and don't give too many exact details because I want you to read the books yourself so keep that in mind when you read the review for this insane issue!
We pick up in the past with Captain Fortean flirting with Betty Ross. We immediately are brought back to the present where we last left the Hulk facing off against the new Abomination. Dr. McGowan is freaking out that Fortean has released the Abomination in a populated area. The new gamma infused creation doesn't know anything but killing – there is no other "human" side to this freak. Even worse, when the Hulk went to fight this creature it does not go well…
Immediately, Abomination swallows the Hulk's fist and then regurgitates acid, burning the Hulk's fist off! Even worse, Hulk's healing factor doesn't seem to be helping at all. Meanwhile the new Abomination calls out for someone to kill him! If there is no Rick Jones – no human side at all – who is asking to be put out of their misery?
Shadow Base soldiers converge on the area to clean up the mess that their new creation is making – but cleaning up just means the soldiers kill anyone who witnesses the carnage! That is until Jackie McGee and the Harpy show up. No matter how much firepower the soldiers brought there really is no match for the Harpy's speed! She rips through the armed men in mere minutes, tearing them limb from limb!
Fortean doesn't seem to fazed as he just watches the Harpy rip her way through the army! Then she follows a scent until she comes across the grizzly scene where the Hulk's arms, legs and eyes have all been melted from acid! Thank goodness the Harpy is here to save him, right? Yeah… not so much.
She claws the Hulk's chest open and tears out his heart – all while the Hulk asks Betty "why?"! It's one of the most insane things I've read in the Hulk's history and I almost couldn't look away!

|Nettle fertiliser brewing
Making nutrient-rich 'tea' for your plants is simple: Stuff a water barrel full of comfrey leaves, nettles or seaweed, fill with water and leave to infuse for a month or so. You'll be able to smell when it's ready - it's very fertilisery! This fertiliser is very concentrated - to use it, dilute it 1:10 with water. One full barrel lasts a long time.
|Comfrey tea on tap
|Time to harvest the comfrey
Another indispensable fertiliser for the garden is well-rotted manure. Try to find a free source from a local farmer or stables. If it's fresh you'll need to let it mature as fresh manure can actually take nutrients from the soil rather than add them. We use it in all our container-grown plants (tomatoes, tomatillos, cucumbers, chillies, peppers, okra, melons) at the bottom of the pots underneath the compost as well as dig it into some of the beds (but not the onion, garlic or leek beds!).

Are you unable to open your Outlook as it is crashing or freezing, then how will you see your calendar, process the messages in your inbox, and get your tasks done on time? Such a situation can be quite threatening. No worries as fortunately, the professionals at PCSupport Office are here with the ways to fix this irritating snag in your Outlook. Why they are available with this helpful guide is their passion to make the users get most out of their computer and the apps on it.
The main symptoms that indicate the occurrence of this issue is an error message stating 'Outlook not responding'.
There are many reasons that result in this issue. Some of them are as follows:
- You are not running the latest updates
- Size of your mailboxes are extraordinarily large
- Data files in your Outlook are damaged or corrupted
- A formerly installed or outdated add-on is distracting Outlook
- The antivirus software installed on your PC is not up-to-date
- Antivirus software or any
other programconflicting with your Outlook, etc.
Now, when you have been accustomed to the reasons 'why your Outlook is crashing, freezing, or not responding, it will be quite easier for you to get rid of this problem. Just follow the below tactics by the experienced engineers at PCSupport Office & see the results yourself.
- Ensure having the latest updates: Your first step is to check for updates pertaining to all applications (including antivirus). Doing this is an easy exercise and can troubleshoot your glitch. For Outlook updates, you have to open an Office app -> choose File -> Account -> Product Information -> Update Options. Once reached here, check if the updates are enabled. If not, enable the option and click Update Now & follow the on-screen instructions. Ultimately, reboot & restart your Outlook.
- Utilize System Restore: Sometimes changes that take place in your system can generate the issue. For instance – the installation of new hardware or software that conflicts with your Outlook. Restoring your system's settings by rolling it back to an earlier phase of time can fix the problem. This will not impact your vital data but it is obvious that you need to uninstall & reinstall the programs installed after that restore point. Go to the Start -> Control Panel -> System & Security -> File History -> Recovery -> System Restore -> Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Remove Add-ons: Interfering with the applications, add-ons often lead to such snags. Hence, removing add-ons from your Outlook can be an effective step to buzz-off the problem. For this, you will have to navigate to Settings -> System -> Apps & Features. Now, search for add-ons. Once found, select any of the two options – delete all or delete one at a time. Finally, relaunch your Outlook. Hopefully, the troublesome add-ons have been removed.
- Use Repair Tool: MicrosoftOutlook is a part of MS office & encompasses a repair tool. Have the advantage of this utility and let it troubleshoot your issue automatically.
- Reinstall MS Office: If the snag is still following you, then there is a need to uninstall & reinstall the Office completely.
Sometimes (very rarely), the issue keeps frustrating the user even when he/she had tried all the aforementioned steps. If the same thing happens with you, consult the adept PCSupport experts as instantly as possible else you can suffer from major losses.

To bring housebuilders improved availability
Carvers Timber Engineering has joined Södra Wood Ltd's engineered wood products distribution network to help the housebuilding industry more easily access the fast supply of I-joist floor kits using Masonite Beams.
Södra is one of the UK and Ireland's leading suppliers of structural timber and engineered wood products (EWP), and is a driving force behind sustainable timber production. Its association with Wolverhampton based builders merchant, Carvers, will support their aim of delivering I-joist kits within just seven days compared to the current market norm of three to four weeks. Carvers service includes the complete I-joist package, from bespoke design through to kit preparation and delivery.
Together, Södra and Carvers can offer this high performance turnaround thanks to the powerful combination of Carvers design capacity and expertise, and Södra's fast, reliable timber supply. As part of Europe's largest co-operative of forest owners, Södra has the ability to supply timber and EWP to its customers via East Coast ports within 48 hours, enabling them to provide a fast turnaround of I-joists – something that is invaluable to the construction industry, particularly when it comes to housebuilding.
Simon Smart, Contracts Manager with Carvers, commented: "We've chosen Södra as our exclusive supplier for I-joists because of our experience of its unmatched outstanding service, reliability and strong environmental ethos. We value the partnering approach we have with Södra, we all work as one team bringing the best offering to our customers, and ultimately this is what it's all about."
Neil Lewis, National Sales Manager at Södra, added: "Södra's mission is to support more sustainable construction through timber – housebuilders are under massive pressure to build efficiently, and to do this they need a reliable supply chain. We are delighted to add Carvers to our network of distributors – we are confident that their approach will offer housebuilders the supply assurance that fits their needs.
"Together we bring many years' experience in timber, outstanding design knowledge and expertise, and top quality products. Quite simply, between us the housebuilders can depend on us to get the job done – within the timeframes they require."
The Masonite I-joists supplied by Södra are manufactured in accordance with the environmental management system ISO 14001 and use wood fibre certified under PEFC with full chain of custody processes. The high efficiency of the 'wood to I-Joist' conversion process means that for a specific volume of I-Joists, far fewer trees are harvested than those required to produce an equivalent volume of solid sawn timber joists.
For more information on the new I-Joist service from Södra and Carvers, Contact Carvers design team on 01902 577040.

In an industrial, whitewashed room full of monochrome critics, pale chipped pillars loomed over an illuminous runway. The dismal weather outside saw an impressive stream of people pouring into the venue like rain in the drains outside. All were in the same place for the same thing: Matthew Miller Autumn/Winter 2016.
If past collections have taught us anything, it's that Mr Miller is influenced by current world topics and politics. Post war soldiers and over-saturated sportswear have been seen in the past, but this season he brings an interpretation of the new filthy rich generation. They are vulgar and do not appreciate true beauty.
Lights. As bright as the morning after a heavy night out made way for the awaited 'nouveau riche'. Smashing Pumpkins gave way to Jack Mather (Premier Models); a bouncing head of curls in an all black compilation. What started as stripes developed into pleats and leather belts giving a total utilitarian vibe, Matthew Miller soon came through strong and hard with armbands in hand-painted oil on canvas (cue the medieval references) and shredded velvet dragging the fabric back to relevance. From the Far East (of East London that is), Riina O was in charge of accessories. Hand stitched leather gloves unite traditional techniques with modern technological advances, while Maine's GH Bass designed the smart penny loafers worn by all. They brought the look together creating the uniform of tomorrow in just twenty minutes.
Beautiful, almost studious perfectly cast faces let the garments do the talking with the likes of Simon Kuzmickas (Established Models) featured in Issue 9 "Growing Sideways), as well as Ben Rees (AMCK Models) on the familiar faces list. Bjork left the audience compelled in a bubble of Miller magic, as the final walk graced the catwalk. Last thoughts? Artistry, colour and layers giving us a clear direction for Autumn/Winter 2016.

Reuters April 14, 2004
Reuters correspondent Alan Elsner recalls how the U.S. State Department chose semantics over action as slaughter engulfed Rwanda in 1994.
I covered the U.S. State Department for five years from 1989 to 1994 and during that time I must have attended hundreds of briefings and asked many thousands of questions. But none were more important than the questions I asked about the Rwandan genocide.
I should explain that as the son of a Holocaust survivor, I am very sensitive to issues of mass slaughter. I have often asked myself what I would have done if I had been living during those terrible years. In 1993, I had my answer. It was, not much, but perhaps just a little.
As the Rwandan slaughter unfolded, the United States took the position that what was happening may have been "acts of genocide" but it was not actual genocide.
The difference was legally significant because the United States was and remains a signatory to the international convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide, which obligated all participating nations to prevent genocide wherever it took place. Article 8 reads:
Any Contracting Party may call upon the competent organs of the United Nations to take such action under the Charter of the United Nations as they consider appropriate for the prevention and suppression of acts of genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III.
The Clinton administration had had its fingers badly burned the previous October in Somalia and the last thing it wanted was another military involvement in Africa. So it took cover behind this legal fig leaf.
But to me, the distinction between "acts of genocide" and "genocide" was meaningless, especially to the hundreds of thousands of victims. I could not understand why the United States was standing by, especially since no other country in the world seemed ready to act without Washington's lead.
It seemed like the 1930s all over again. The world knew what was happening and was doing nothing to stop it.
On June 10, 1994, my impatience boiled over. The following excerpt from an article by Samantha Power that appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in September 2001 described what happened at that day's State Department briefing.
Christine Shelly, a State Department spokesperson, had long been charged with publicly articulating the U.S. position on whether events in Rwanda counted as genocide. For two months she had avoided the term, and as her June 10 exchange with the Reuters correspondent Alan Elsner reveals, her semantic dance continued.
Elsner: How would you describe the events taking place in Rwanda?
Shelly: Based on the evidence we have seen from observations on the ground, we have every reason to believe that acts of genocide have occurred in Rwanda.
Elsner: What's the difference between "acts of genocide" and "genocide"?
Shelly: Well, I think…as you know, there's a legal definition of this…clearly not all of the killings that have taken place in Rwanda are killings to which you might apply that label… But as to the distinctions between the words, we're trying to call what we have seen so far as best as we can; and based, again, on the evidence, we have every reason to believe that acts of genocide have occurred.
Elsner: How many acts of genocide does it take to make genocide?
Shelly: Alan, that's just not a question that I'm in a position to answer.
The same day, in Istanbul, Warren Christopher, by then under severe internal and external pressure, relented: "If there is any particular magic in calling it genocide, I have no hesitancy in saying that.
My questions have had enormous resonance in the 10 years since I asked them. A TV filmmaker shooting a documentary on the genocide tracked me down and interviewed me. I became a footnote in a number of books and articles. The questions even showed up in the TV drama, The West Wing.
Of course, a few questions could not help the hundreds of thousands of victims. But they did show that reporters ready to ask tough questions could make a small difference. I'm only sorry I could not have done more.

Coverage Gap for Emerging Risks
While customers see a gap in their coverage due to evolving risks, insurers are yet to recognize the full extent of demand driven by emerging risks. As customer needs evolve due to the fast-changing risk landscape, insurers' success may be contingent upon the ability to understand and align with policyholders' requirements quickly.
Customers report high exposure to emerging risks across the board. Individual customers polled for the World Insurance Report 2019 overwhelmingly indicated moderate to high exposure to emerging risks related to health and cybersecurity. More than 85% of personal customers say they have medical and health risk exposure; however, only one in 10 has an existing policy that comprehensively covers this risk. Similarly, commercial customers indicated the changing business environment and cybersecurity as significant threats, but most of them feel inadequately covered.
World Insurance Report 2019
As new risks are impacting the insurance landscape, the World Insurance Report 2019 from Capgemini and Efma explores the opportunity for insurers to develop new, technologically-advanced products to provide comprehensive risk coverage and better manage shifting customer expectations.Download now

No, I use Poser. I downloaded it because I thought I needed it. I tried your suggestion and it didn't help. The morphs still don't load.

@redphantom Do you have more than one installation of Victoria 4?
rokket last edited by
I'm with Kalypso on this one. Reinitialize V4, and the morphs should show up.
The bat file didn't help. I only have victoria 4 installed once, but I have a few cr2s saved of her under different names in the same runtime. Do I need to get rid of those?
RobZhena last edited by
I don't know if this would work, but Karina's Sasha-16 in the figure setup folder has an icon to load elite morphs, It worked with Sasha and might work with a regular V4. You can also manually install the morphs from the folder in your DAZ runtime.
anomalaus last edited by
@redphantom you shouldn't need to get rid of any character you've saved to the library yourself. The only ones which may have a problem are the DAZ supplied base figure.
Can you tell us what sizes the files you see in your character library are? Do you have Victoria 4.2 EZ? That file (about 1.2MB in size) uses readScript lines to load groups and morph slots for whatever V4 product packages are installed in the folder @kalypso mentioned, where the bulk of the V4 & M4 morph injections reside. Loading that figure will give you a character with groups, but no injected morphs. The morph injections are done (the first time) with injection pose files in :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Victoria 4:DAZ's Victoria 4:Morph Injections.
I'm guessing, from your first post, that you know all that, but sometimes it's easy to overwrite one of the installed files. If you can check the character file in the library with a text editor and see any lines that start with "readScript" you should have the right file (and it's a lot smaller than a fully loaded V4 .cr2 file).
The very first one in the file should be in the BODY actor and look like:
readScript ":Runtime:libraries:!DAZ:Victoria 4:V4BODYGrps.pz2"
Opening that file in the text editor (assuming it's not compressed as a .pzz file) should show all the groups for installed products. (This file gets built when you run the batch file @kalypso mentioned) and should contain (amidst all the rest):
groupNode Elite { collapsed 1 parmNode FBMUtopianBody parmNode FBMFantasiaBody parmNode FBMSylphBody parmNode PBMGenitalCrease2 }
If it doesn't, then you won't see an empty Elite group in the parameters tab and the channel slots may not exist to allow the morphs to be injected. At this point you should probably try to reinstall the Elite morphs product "ps_pe072_DAZ"
I don't have a victoria 4.2 ez. Only Victoria 4.2. I tried reinstalling the elite morphs and also running the bat file again. It's not helping.
anomalaus last edited by
@redphantom can you confirm that your Victoria 4.2 is about 1.2MB in size and look to see if it has the readScript lines in it? The batch file will only process what it finds in the :Runtime:libraries:!DAZ folder. If the file you have in your character library doesn't have the readScript lines, it's not referring to anything in the !DAZ hierarchy.
If the Victoria 4.2.cr2 file already has groups in it, I think you will need to re-install the base Victoria 4.2 package. DIM can do that for you (I've just looked inside the installer folders and the IM00004783-01_Victoria42Base.zip file contains a Victoria 4.2.cr2 of the right size to have only the readScript lines. You will certainly need to run the batch file again after that. I'm on MacOS, so I can't tell you what file paths to look in for DIM packages, but the :Runtime: structure on both platforms is identical (except I run DzCreateExPFiles.app, instead of .bat)
j.naylor73 last edited by
If you re-install V4 and the morph packages from DAZ using the DIM this should automatically initialise v4 for you. This is the only way I've ever got the morph packages to work for me, never managed to get the batch file to do the job.
I tried the DIM too and it didn't help.
