Abandoned cinemas can be fascinating places, built to thrill large audiences, but left silent and forgotten. Many were demolished after the advent of television and some adapted for other uses. The most fascinating are those that linger on intact behind locked doors, frozen in the margins of existence.

Abandoned cinemas are popular among urban explorers, who are often avid photographers and consider dereliction an art form in itself. Since many remaining cinemas have been converted for other uses (or even incorporated into more modern buildings), the ones that remain intact are the most coveted. These picture palaces, frozen in time, were never designed to stand empty and are an ironic reminder of the golden age of Hollywood. (Above is the former Coronet Cinema in London – full report here.)
(Images licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic)
Picture palaces (or movie palaces in the U.S.) boomed as places of public entertainment during the early 20th century. Many were modernised theatres brought into the brave new world, and ranged in size from small local venues to grand city centre playhouses. Some were unflatteringly known as "flea pits", as grim social conditions in cities at that time rendered some cinemas rather dirty.
(Images left and right published under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic)
But generally, the term "palace" was used for a reason: large or small, picture palaces offered escapism and a touch of elegance to a public hardened by tough economic and social conditions and, to a large extent, war. Three main architectural designs included the Classic style picture palace sporting period-revival architecture; the Atmospheric theatre, with an auditorium ceiling resembling the sky; and the famous Art Deco cinemas of the 1930s.

Today, their fading elegance tells the story of a time where, even if conditions were hard, there was pride and style. Abandoned picture palaces have been spared from the fast-paced world outside, and to venture inside is like passing through a window in time. Occasionally, an entire town around the cinema is abandoned. The pictures below (right) show a former cinema in the city of Pripyat, Ukraine, which was evacuated after the Chernobyl disaster.

In some cases, projectors remain intact beneath years of dust and dirt, while film posters detailing the cinema's final screening still grace the walls. These buildings, fascinating in their own right, offer a brief glimpse into our social history, to a time when going to the cinema was about far more than simply watching a film.
(Image licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic)
Unfortunately, this is also a dusty corner of history that has been all too quickly forgotten by many city planners. Many cinemas have been demolished to make way for modern redevelopment, while others wait in the doldrums, most likely for the wrecking ball. Some have been imaginatively revamped to serve the demands of the burgeoning independent cinema market. Others are in such a poor state of disrepair that even visionary developers are repelled by the cost of fixing them up.
(Images licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic)
Preservation-minded members of the public are often responsible for ensuring that old buildings, including cinemas, avoid demolition. The Neo Classical Abbeydale Picture House (above) in Sheffield, opened in 1920, is a fine example. Saved by the Friends of the Abbeydale Picture House, a huge amount of progress has been made in restoring the old picture palace on the long road to one day reopening to cinema audiences.

Looking out of my window this morning, the scene that greeted me was a dull, foggy and cold landscape, I pulled the curtains shut quickly…no inspiration there! It was easy to get swayed into that mood of doom and gloom rubbed off into you in an instant…………… SAD/ Seasonal Affective Disorder is real, people ! Coming from a sunny bright country, I never knew about it or heard of it before, until I landed in this country, in the middle of winter, slowly over the years enlightenment dawned on me that this weather is for real, so what do I do now, I choose a better feeling thought and brighter colors to shake that "wintery"mood away and brighten my days!
Some call it color therapy, some call it aroma therapy, it sure works ! Thus arose my inspiration to try my hand at Homemade Sugar Scrubs, which had both color and smell and an added "FEEL" to it ….so off I went with a few ingredients I had handy in my pantry, to try my first venture into the land of Sugar Scrubs.I have heard rave reviews about the benefits of using them from friends and colleagues alike in the winter months, I was willing to give it a try this year .Just like candle making, this sugar scrub making piqued my interest, wondering how it will turn out, what it would feel like on the skin ?
The benefits of Sugar Scrubs are far too many, said a friend of mine, unlike the salt scrubs, they do not dry up the skin, sugar is a natural humectant drawing moisture into the skin from the environment, to keep it supple and soft during winter, hence even widely used as lip balms too, to prevent chapping. Sugars are not healthy when ingested, but boy !do they do wonders on the skin, she cooed, this really got me thinking….it never hurts to try, after all you know all the ingredients that go into it.
Little did I know that those expensive scrubs , you see in departmental stores or smell when you walk across the store in the mall, cost you pennies to make at home & the benefits still remain the same.They are incredibly moisturizing and exfoliating to the skin.Try them this winter and feel the difference!
For the Vanilla- Cinnamon Sugar Scrub :
Sugar (Fine White) – 1 cup
Coconut Oil – 1/4 cup
Honey – 1/4 cup
Vanilla extract – 1tsp
Ground Cinnamon powder – a pinch
First mix the Sugar, Coconut Oil and Honey together till they are evenly mixed, then add the Vanilla extract and Ground Cinnamon powder.The end product smells like delicious Vanilla ice-cream, so smooth and yummilicious enough to eat.
For the Lemon-Honey Sugar Scrub :
Sugar – 1 cup
Coconut Oil – 1/4 cup
Lemon extract – 15 drops
Turmeric powder- a pinch ( for color and is a good antiseptic)
Honey – 2 tbsp
Mix the Sugar, Coconut Oil and Honey together, then add a pinch of Turmeric powder while slowly adding the Lemon extract. Mix well, so the color is uniformly spread and you get a smooth paste like consistency.
For the Orange -Peppermint Sugar Scrub :
Sugar- 1cup
Coconut Oil – 1/4 cup
Orange Essential Oil- 6-10 drops
Peppermint extract – 10 drops
Orange Food color- a pinch
Honey – 2 tbsp
Mix the sugar, Coconut Oil and Honey together, then add the Orange and Peppermint extract gently while continuing to mix, until the ingredients are evenly mixed. To this one may add a pinch of Orange Food color, until all the ingredients are mixed evenly.
Store them in air tight glass jars and use them over the cold months, when skin gets dry and chapped easily, it helps in exfoliating and keeps the skin moist and supple and what's more,they make perfect holiday gifts too !
How to use the Sugar Scrub : Take a spoonful of the sugar scrub in your hand, after letting your body soak in the hot shower for a few minutes, rub the sugar scrub in a circular motion from shoulder down, or feet up, whichever is comfortable for you, allow it to exfoliate the dry dead skin, rinse in lukewarm water.Remember to use gentle pressure ONLY, you are exfoliating not peeling ! You will step out of the shower, thinking why you never tried it before, your skin will feel baby soft. Remember, happiness is homemade, so go on give it a try.Pat dry your skin or leave it a lil' wet, best to do it before bedtime coz it will let you relax, while the oil gets absorbed into the open pores, left by the sugar scrub, softening your skin into silky smoothness.
Remember to scrub your bath tub immediately coz it might get slippery with all the oil. It is advisable, to use the sugar scrub once or twice a week, and the benefits of long term use are clearly visible, or so I am told. Make it a part of your holiday tradition if you must, coz that's exactly what I plan to do starting this year.Have fun, while you are at it!
"Self care is not about self indulgence,it's about self preservation" ~ Audrey Lorde
You can substitute Olive Oil or Grape seed Oil instead of Coconut oil, if you wish, I love coconut oil and stand by it !
Honey helps to naturally moisturize the skin, acts as an anti aging formula,helps in exfoliation and prevents dryness, promoting new tissue growth when used on the skin.
Sugar helps to exfoliate, acts a humectant,encourages new cell turnover, generating fresher younger skin. One can use fine white sugar or brown sugar which is much finer, when using scrubs on the face.
Different essential oils or extracts of your choice, can be used , the base being the same of sugar, oil and honey.

Shey Phoksundo National Park - 1984 ( Area 3555 sq. kms)
Shey-phoksundo Narional Park is situated in the Trans-Himalayan region of northwest Nepal. It is Nepal's largest National Park covering an area of 3,555 km2. It was established in 1984 to preserve a unique Trans-Himalayan ecosystem with a diversity of flora and fauna. The Park's climatic differences, altitude variations, and different zoo-geographical regions support a diverse range of biotic systems.
In 1998, an area of 1349 km2 surrounding the park was declared as buffer zone, which consists of forests and private lands. The buffer zone is jointly managed by the park and local communities. Together they initiate community development activities and manage the natural and cultural resources.
Shey Phoksundo National Park provides a diversity of spectacular landscapes. Elevations in the park range from 2,130m in Ankhe to 6,883m at the summit of Kanjiroba Himal. Much of the park lies north of the Himalayan crest. Nepal's deepest and second largest lake, Phoksundo Lake, lies in upper regions of Suligad. Near the lake's outlet is the country's highest waterfall. The major rivers in the park are the Khung, Nmajung and Panjang, The Suligad and Jugdual Rivers, which are the major tributaries of the Thuli Bheri River; and the Langu Rilver, which drains the high dolpo plateau to the east and flows westward.
Phoksundo Lake is famous for its magnificent turquoise color and te spectacular scenery clearly rank it with the most scenic mountain parks in the world. Ringmo village, a typical Tibetan village, is scenically nestled in the area. Many beautiful glaciers can be found near and above the lake area. The Park contain many Gompas (Monasteries) and religious area. The most famous, Shey Gompa was established in the 11th Century. Thashung Gompa located near Phoksundo Lake was built about 900 years ago to conserve wildlife.
As a result of its spanning both the northern and southern aspects of the Himalayan crest, the park experience a wide climatic range. Most of the precipitation in the area occurs during the monsoon (July-September), although the Dhaulagari and Kanjiroba Ranges from a massive barrier preventing most of the rain from reaching the Trans-Himalayan area. The park contains the transition form a monsoon dominated climate with 1500 mm.of annual precipitation in the south (Suligad) to an arid climate with less than 500 mm. a year in the northern slopes. Winters are quite severe, with frequent snowfalls above 2,500m. and temperature's remaining below freezing above 3,000m. through much of the winter.
Flora & Fauna
The flora found within the park is exteremely diverse. The northern regions contain barren areas of the upper Himalayas and the Trans-Himalayan slope lands consisting of some rhododendron, caragana shrubs, and Salix, Juniper, white Himalayan birch, and the occasional silver fir dominate the high

When RGIII went down with a season-ending injury, it wasn't an ending, but a beginning. To build on this message, adidas wanted to inspire high school athletes to pour their heart and soul into training for the next season and go all in for week 1, just like RGIII.
As part of a product launch for adidas' signature Impact Camo training apparel, we created an #allinforweek1 Poster Generator. The social tool allows athletes to show the world that they're ready for next season. With the Impact Camo print as the basis for design, they could customize posters for their locker room, bedroom and campus that pushed their teammates to prepare for what lies ahead.

United States District Court, D. Minnesota
April 26, 2017
Mark C. Jorgensen, Plaintiff,v.Accounts Receivable Services, LLC, Defendant.
RICHARD H. KYLE United States District Judge
Mark Jorgensen commenced this action after Defendant Accounts
Receivable Services, LLC ("ARS") sued him in
state court to collect an allegedly past-due medical debt.
Jorgensen alleges that ARS violated the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act ("FDCPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 1692
et seq., by falsely asserting he was liable on an
"account stated." Presently before the Court are
the parties' cross-Motions for Summary Judgment. For the
reasons set forth below, the Court will grant ARS's
Motion and deny Jorgensen's Motion.
following facts are undisputed. On October 5, 2015, ARS sued
Jorgensen in Anoka County, Minnesota conciliation court.
There it alleged, in relevant part:
[Jorgensen] owe[s] [ARS] . . . because: Allina Health System
provided medical services to [Jorgensen] on various dates . .
. The costs for medical services rendered was $1, 487.50.
Allina Health System sold and assigned [Jorgensen's]
Accounts Receivable to [ARS].
[Jorgensen is] liable to [ARS] on an account stated, for
medical services rendered, in the amount of $1, 859.30.
Included in the above account stated amount is interest of
$371.80 assessed to today's date . . . as allowed by
Minnesota [law].
Ex. A.) Jorgensen appeared in conciliation court and,
ultimately, ARS voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit. Jorgensen
then commenced this action; against this factual backdrop,
the parties cross-move for summary judgment.[1]
FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from using a "false,
deceptive, or misleading representation" while
attempting to collect a debt, including a false
representation of "the character, amount, or legal
status of any debt." 15 U.S.C. § 1692e. Jorgensen
argues ARS ran afoul of this proscription by alleging an
"account stated, " a legal doctrine addressing
the formation of an implied contract to pay a debt. Where a
debt purportedly exists, and "one side proffers a
'statement' of an account between the parties, the
other side's retention of it without objection for an
unreasonable amount of time constitutes prima facie evidence
of the accuracy of the account that has been set
forth." Egge v. Healthspan Servs. Co., Civ.
No. 00-934, 2001 WL 881720, at *2 (D. Minn. July 30, 2001)
(Montgomery, J.) (citing Erickson v. Gen. United Life
Ins. Co., 256 N.W.2d 255, 259 (Minn. 1977) (internal
citations omitted)). Once established, an account stated
"constitute[s] a promise to pay whatever balance is
thus acknowledged to be due." Meagher v.
Kavli, 88 N.W.2d 871, 879 (Minn. 1958).
ARS contends it sent Jorgensen billing statements reflecting
a balance due of $1, 487.50 and that it "merely
added" prejudgment interest of $371.80 to that amount
"[f]or the convenience of the conciliation
court." (Def.'s Mem. in Opp'n 5.) But, as
quoted above, ARS's state-court complaint averred in no
uncertain terms that Jorgensen was liable on an account
stated for $1, 859.30. It is undisputed that ARS never
sent Jorgensen a statement reflecting that amount
and, hence, its representation was false.
said, not every falsity gives rise to FDCPA liability. To be
actionable, a misrepresentation must also be
material. Powers v. Credit Mgmt. Servs.,
Inc., 776 F.3d 567, 571 (8th Cir. 2015). A
misrepresentation is material if it "frustrate[s] the
consumer's ability to intelligently choose his or her
response" to the creditor. Salaimeh v. Messerli
& Kramer, P.A., Civ. No. 13-3201, 2014 WL 6684970,
at *3 (D. Minn. Nov. 25, 2014) (Doty, J.) (citations
omitted). The Court must analyze materiality through the lens
of the unsophisticated consumer, a standard "designed
to protect consumers of below average sophistication or
intelligence without having the standard tied to the very
last rung on the sophistication ladder." Duffy v.
Landberg, 215 F.3d 871, 874-75 (8th Cir. 2000)
(citations and quotations omitted). Thus, while the standard
protects even the "uninformed or naive consumer,
" it also incorporates "an objective element of
reasonableness which ensures that debt collectors remain free
from liability for peculiar interpretations of
[statements]." Adams v. J.C. Christensen &
Assocs., Inc., 777 F.Supp.2d 1193, 1195-96 (D. Minn.
2011) (citing Strand v. Diversified Collection Serv.,
Inc., 380 F.3d 316, 317 (8th Cir. 2004) (internal
citations and quotations omitted)). As the Seventh Circuit
has explained:
[§ 1692e] is designed to provide information that helps
consumers to choose intelligently, and by definition
immaterial information neither contributes to that objective
(if the statement is correct) nor undermines it (if the
statement is incorrect). . . . If a statement would not
mislead the unsophisticated consumer, it does not violate the
[FDCPA]-even if it is false in some technical sense.
Hahn v. Triumph P'ships, LLC, 557 F.3d 755,
757-58 (7th Cir. 2009) (cited with approval in
Powers, 776 F.3d at 571); see also McIvor v.
Credit Control Servs., Inc., 773 F.3d 909, 913 (8th Cir.
2014) ("Even a literally false statement does not
violate § 1692e if it would not mislead the
Jorgensen asserts that he found ARS's state-court
complaint misleading because he "never received any
account statement from Allina or [ARS] . . . so [he] could
not understand why that was listed as . . . an account
stated." (Jorgensen Decl. ¶ 7.) As a result,
"[r]ather than simply placing a call to [ARS] and
explaining that [he] did not owe any money, [he] appeared for
the hearing in Anoka County with counsel."
(Id. ¶ 9.) It is difficult to perceive exactly
how his decision to appear at the hearing (rather than call
ARS) flowed from ARS's invocation of the term
"account stated." After all, he was
summoned to conciliation court. In any event, the
Court need not linger on this point, as materiality is
analyzed objectively, e.g., Adams, 777
F.Supp.2d at 1195-96, and hence Jorgensen's subjective
confusion is not dispositive.
In the
Court's view, ARS's use of the words "account
stated" in this context is not material as a matter of
law. ARS's state-court pleading set forth the cost of
medical services Jorgensen allegedly received ($1, 487.50)
and the amount of prejudgment interest ARS sought ($371.80).
This breakdown does not remedy the falsity, but it clearly
informed Jorgensen (or any other person who might have
reviewed it) of the precise components of the alleged debt,
and it equipped him to respond intelligently. Under these
circumstances, it is fair to classify Jorgensen's view
that the words "account stated" mandated his
appearance in court as "peculiar."[2] Considered
objectively, the presence of the words "account
stated"-a legal term of art-is not misleading to the
unsophisticated consumer when combined with a breakdown of
the amount allegedly owed. Indeed, had ARS omitted the words
"account stated, " in the Court's view, the
objective, unsophisticated consumer would have responded in
the same way, and no FDCPA claim would lie.
and based upon all the files, records, and proceedings
herein, IT IS ORDERED that ARS's Motion for Summary
Judgment (Doc. No. 37) is GRANTED, Jorgensen's Motion for
Summary Judgment on Liability (Doc. No. 41) ...

Learn all the skills that are required to earn money online and work from home.
Thursday, June 3, 2010
How much you can earn with one blog?
I have been earning by blogging since 2005. I started with just one blog and now I have about 18 blogs and all are fetching money to me.
I am happy to be working from home.
First I started earning only from Google AdSense. Over the years, I have found various ways to earn by blogging.
I am giving below a short report on how much you can earn with just one blog provided you do the search engine optimization of your blog and promote your blog vigorously for 3 months.
All the estimated earnings are calculated on a conservative basis and this is the minimum you can earn. You can increase your earnings over and above my estimate and that depends on several parameters that include the topic of your blog, the content of your blog, keyword analysis and of course the traffic you receive.
Google AdSense: $15 per month
I arrived at this figure on an estimated 100 unique visitors per day. If the CTR is 3% and suppose the average click yields approximately 17 cents then…
3 clicks X 17 cents X 30 days=$15 per month
Sponsored posts: $20 per month
There are more than 30 companies that pay you to blog. But I arrived at this figure considering you work for just one company and they give you one blog post per week and it fetches you $5 per post.
$5 X 4 posts= $20 per month
Conditions: Your blog should have Google PR2 and above.
Text link ads: $15 per month
I know of 80 ad network and they usually pay $5 per month per link. Even if 3 companies approve your blog, you can earn $15 per month.
Conditions: Your blog should have Google PR3
Banner ads: $30 per month
Generally, a PR3 blogs commands a price of $30 per month per banner. There are more than 15 sources that give you this opportunity.
Cost per million (CPM): $36 per month
If your blog has Google PR3 and if it attracts 3000 unique visitors per month, you can earn a handsome amount of $36 per month. The average cost paid to you is $4 per 1000 impressions. There are 50 CPM ad network. If just 3 applications from your blog is successful, then 3 X 12 = $36
Total expected earnings: $116 per month
Earning through affiliate marketing is another potential avenue to monetize your blog. The income through this method cannot be estimated. But it can surpass all the above earning expectation.
To achieve the above result, your blog should be on your own domain and it should be preferably built using wordpress platform.
The earnings estimate is not typical and can vary either way.

The phenomenon of so-called "Hate Speech" has been in the public eye for a while now, but particularly in German news.

Since the first proposals for amendments to the European Commission's draft copyright directive were leaked earlier this month, we have seen quite some discussion on what the Digital Single Market will bring about. The leaked report was drafted by the European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs. MEP Therese Comodini Cachia takes responsibility over the subject.
DSM Watch: Leaked European Parliament comments may modify press rights under Copyright Directive
The European commission published its last draft directive on the modernizing of the European copyright law (COM(2016) 593 final) on 14 September 2016. The draft was part of a larger strategy to bring about a single digital market within the European Union. Back then, the legislative proposal triggered quite some discussion given that its provisions
CJEU: Exceptions of InfoSoc do not cover out-of-commerce works
Is it permitted to reproduce out-of-commerce works and make them publicly accessible under European copyright exceptions? So far, there is no explicit regulation at European level dealing with out-of-commerce works. However, a few member states, including Germany, have already complemented their copyright by way of introduction of new provisions governing the use that one can
Webinar invitation: Digital Single Market – The New European Copyright
There have been busy days in Brussels regarding the shaping of tomorrow's copyright law in Europe. It took the Commission ten months to follow-up on its first package of copyright legislation released last December, with a second set of draft regulations and directives published on 14 September 2016. The second legislative package truly touches upon
DSM Watch: Legislative proposals on Copyright officially released
These are exciting days for copyright fans. Yesterday, the European Commission officially published a communication accompanied by several – long awaited – legislative proposals regarding the future of the European copyright law (see this press release). The content of the individual documents does not come as a surprise given that we have seen a number
DSM Watch: Draft of Commission's Copyright Communication leaked
It is a busy time in Brussels right now. Within the last few days, we have seen leaked drafts of a comprehensive staff working paper on the modernization of EU copyright rules, a draft copyright directive and a draft regulation on online transmission of broadcasts (see our respective blog post). At the end of last
DSM Watch: Draft of new EU Copyright Directive leaked
Apparently, summer season is over in Brussels. Already last week, a comprehensive staff working paper was leaked dealing with the European Commission's aim to modernize copyright law within the EU. (see our respective blog post). Then on Wednesday, a first draft of the new Copyright Directive became public. It deals with, among other points, new

Dear all,
Seems that somethings are somewhat confused in the discussion.
For me it is obvious that "nanoparticles" is not one single type of substance. There is a tremendous variation within that broad category and there are good scientific reasons to be aware of this variation when human health and environmental risks are concerned. Particle design and applications, production volumes, exposure pathways, toxicity mechanisms - the variation is immense and nanoscale properties are both less well-known and influencing important particle "risk properties" in ways we have not foreseen. If the nanotechnology proves to be a least a little bit of a Panacea then there are reasons to sort out what types of particles that need specific treatment in order to keep risks acceptable low in order to avoid a number of Pandora=B4s boxes. Unfortunately we are far from that understanding in the ongoing innovation race which might be just another example of a a situation where risks are considered too late.
So yes - Nanoparticles: Panacea AND Pandora's box. And let=B4s avoid rethoric like "luddites". It doesn't support the build of a common understanding of the issues.

Asbestos workers who smoke are at greatly elevated risk of lung cancer with a somewhere in the range of a 90 times greater risk of developing the disease than asbestos workers that don't smoke.
But there does not appear to be an increased risk for mesothelioma due to smoking. This is probably because to cause the disease the fiber needs to migrate from the alveoli to the mesothelium layer in the plural membrane.

I would be interested to know if Osprey's knowledge of a mesothelioma death 20 year after a single asbestos exposure also includes whether or not this person was a smoker. I am not a medical person either but I have a strong suspicion that mesothelioma and other lung cancers might be caused, in addition to the mechanical insult to the tissue, by the adsorption of tobacco tars onto the asbestos fiber's active surface. This would hold the tars in contact with the tissue and provide chemical insult to the tissue.
It would be interesting to look at epidemiological studies and see how asbestos fiber exposure, with and without smoking, correlates with the incidence of lung cancer. Surely such studies have been made.

Re: [DCHAS-L] Science Matters - Nanoparticles: Panacea or Pandora's box?
Luddites were one group of people reacting to technological innovation that dramatically affected their immediate personal circumstances. The concern over nano-particles is quite another matter. I am reminded of three prespectives from a position of understanding rather than one of penury. The first is the early studies of the origins of mesothelioma which is attributed to exposure to asbestos and asbestos products. As I recall at least one dimension the the epidemiological study was the size and shape of the fibres to which victims had been exposed. The second point of concern is that the evolution of the disease was delayed by some 20 to 40 years from first exposure. The third point was that the exposure need not be prolonged, in fact in one occasion that I know of a single exposure resulting from emergency work on collapsed refractory lining of a kiln was responsible for his mesothelioma and death some 20 years later.
I am not a medical person and defer to those that no better and may be much more up to date in the field of asbestos related disease but as a physicist I am extremely interested in the radical developments the last two decades in particular have generated in the application of nano-structures both in the field of chemistry and physics - the miracle fields referred below. It should however be abundantly clear to all that such structures and the role played by nano-particles are dramatically different from what we might expect of classical structures and we have a long way to go before we properly understand them. In Nano science we are bordering on structures whose influence might better be described by quantum mechanical methods with all the complexity such calculations would bring and as such has a great future. My concern is that the practical science is far ahead of any consumer or regulatory understanding and the implications of multiple unproven products in the consumer market must surely backfire. I respectfully suggest that is very far from Luddite thinking.

Nanoparticles: Panacea or Pandora's box?
Nanoparticles can be used to deliver vaccines, treat tumours, clean up oil spills, preserve food, protect skin from sun and kill bacteria. They're so useful for purifying, thickening, colouring and keeping food fresh that they're added to more products every year, with the nanofoods market projected to reach US$20.4 billion by 2020.. Nanoparticles are the new scientific miracle that will make our lives better! Some people say they'll usher in the next industrial revolution.
Hold on... Haven't we heard that refrain before?
Nanotechnology commonly refers to materials, systems and processes that exist or operate at a scale of 100 nanometres or less, according to U.S.-based Friends of the Earth. A nanometer is a billionth of a metre =97 about 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. An FoE report finds use of unlabelled, unregulated nano-ingredients in food has grown substantially since 2008. Because labelling and disclosure are not required for food and beverage products containing them, it's difficult to determine how widespread their use is. Nanoparticles are also used in everything from cutting boards to baby bottles and toys to toothpaste.
"Major food companies have rapidly introduced nanomaterials into our food with no labels and scant evidence of their safety, within a regulatory vacuum," says report author Ian Illuminato, FoE health and environment campaigner. "Unfortunately, despite a growing body of science calling their safety into question, our government has made little progress in protecting the public, workers and the environment from the big risks posed by these tiny ingredients."
Studies show nanoparticles can harm human health and the environment. They can damage lungs and cause symptoms such as rashes and nasal congestion, and we don't yet know about long-term effects. Their minute size means they're "more likely than larger particles to enter cells, tissues and organs" and "can be more chemically reactive and more bioactive than larger particles of the same chemicals," FoE says. A Cornell University study found nanoparticle exposure changed the structure of intestinal-wall lining in chickens.
Like pesticides, they also bioaccumulate. Those that end up in water =97 from cosmetics, toothpaste, clothing and more =97 concentrate and become magnified as they move up the food chain. And in one experiment, silver nanoparticles in wastewater runoff killed a third of exposed plants and microbes, according to a CBC online article.
Their use as antibacterial agents also raises concerns about bacterial resistance and the spread of superbugs, which already kill tens of thousands of people every year.
The Wilson Center, an independent research institution in Washington, D.C.,recently created a database of "manufacturer-identified" nanoparticle-containing consumer products. It lists 1,628, of which 383 use silver particles. The second most common is titanium, found in 179 products. While acknowledging that "nanotechnologies offer tremendous potential benefits" the Center set up its Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies to "ensure that as these technologies are developed, potential human health and environmental risks are anticipated, properly understood, and effectively managed."
As is often the case with such discoveries, widespread application could lead to unintended consequences. Scientists argue we should follow the precautionary principle, which states proponents must prove products or materials are safe before they're put into common use. Before letting loose such technology, we should also ask who benefits, whether it's necessary and what environmental consequences are possible.
Friends of the Earth has called on the U.S. government to impose a moratorium on "further commercial release of food products, food packaging, food contact materials and agrochemicals that contain manufactured nanomaterials until nanotechnology-specific safety laws are established and the public is involved in decision-making."
The group says we can protect ourselves by choosing fresh, organic and local foods instead of processed and packaged foods and by holding governments accountable for regulating and labelling products with nanoparticles.
Nanomaterials may well turn out to be a boon to humans, but we don't know enough about their long-term effects to be adding them so indiscriminately to our food systems and other products. If we've learned anything from past experience, it's that although we can speculate about the benefits of new technologies, reality doesn't always match speculation, and a lack of knowledge can lead to nasty surprises down the road.

Local Chef Yannick LaSalle from Bryson was able to enjoy some exposure by Ici Radio-Canada Ottawa-Gatineau and Le Droit newspaper in recent days as he was named personality of the week.
In an article entitled "Un Chef qui sort de l'ombre", at the age of 30 Yannick Lasalle's most recent act of culinary innovation was awarded second place in the "Golden Plates" contest in Ottawa last week. The article looks back at his career, including his apprenticeship in the cooking program that was offered at Fort-Coulonge and the teachers who taught him, such as André Macron and Vanessa Zhivkov. Yannick Lasalle is currently a chef at Les Fougères restaurant in Chelsea.

It was her first year at Elon, and she thought he'd be one of her first college friends. She never imagined that she'd be the victim of acquaintance rape.
"I still get chills down my spine whenever I think about it," senior Jill Medhus said.
Medhus has spoken at Take Back the Night and almost every other sexual assault awareness event, but now she is taking on something much bigger. Last week, Medhus revoked her anonymity from the Sexual Assault Restorative Justice project, her senior project for the Isabella Cannon Leadership program.
SARJ was inspired by PostSecret, the widely popular Web site and book series that allows anyone to anonymously tell a secret through postcard art. Through SARJ, anyone affected by sexual assault — a victim or otherwise — can express his or her secret anonymously as a step in the healing process.
Medhus originally decided to conceal her identity as the founder of the project.
"It was to honor the voices of those who had been silenced," Medhus said. "It shouldn't matter who I am. I wanted it to be a community effort."
Medhus feared seeing her name on the project would make people hesitate to share their secrets and that she might receive hate mail. But she soon realized that she could better spread the word herself.
Although much of the Elon community is aware of Medhus's experience with sexual assault, she has yet to tell some members of her family.
"I'm nervous. I hadn't told them before because I was afraid they would pull me out of Elon, but now that I'm about to graduate, I don't have that fear anymore," she said.
Medhus has been passing out 300 blank postcards, on which participants can express themselves. Those who write a return address on the back of the postcard will receive information about the resources available to them.
Postcards can be mailed to Leigh-Anne Royster, coordinator for personal health programs and community well-being.
Every postcard will go into an anonymous file that will eventually comprise the final product, a book of secrets. Until then, each postcard will be posted on the SARJ Web site, which will be updated over time, similar to the PostSecret Web site.
"I was never a regular follower of PostSecret until I started this project," Medhus said. "But now I look at it all the time."
Medhus hopes her project will help change community attitudes toward sexual assault.
"It's one step in making sexual assault unacceptable at Elon," she said. "It happens everywhere, and I want to enable restorative justice for everyone, even if they choose not to prosecute."

Apply. The importance of educating the next generation of agricultural leaders has been underscored with up to $300,000 worth of agriculture scholarships on offer at the University of Tasmania.
This includes eight scholarships, worth up to $10,000 each per year, for first year students commencing studies next year.
Agriculture student outreach coordinator Joanna Jones said there are more scholarships available to students studying agriculture related degrees than in any other study area at the university.
"The large number of agricultural scholarships available is a reflection of the high and growing demand for well qualified agriculture graduates," Dr Jones said.
"The University of Tasmania is ranked 44th in the world for agriculture, and the range of careers available for our graduates is immense, with graduates working in diverse areas such as agronomy, agribusiness, food safety and horticulture."
