Coral reefs are aragonite structures produced by living organisms, found in marine waters with little to no nutrients in the water (too many nutrients would damage the reef). "Coral reefs are made predominantly of stony corals and supported by the limestone skeleton they excrete," says Jennifer Horton of HowStuffWorks.com. "These rainforests of the sea are home to a quarter of all marine fish species. In addition to the variety of marine life they support, coral reefs are also immensely beneficial to humans, buffeting coastal regions from strong waves and storms, providing millions of people with food and jobs and prompting advances in modern medicine."
All too predictably, human behavior is their biggest threat and 70 percent of coral reefs may be gone in less than 40 years if the present rate of destruction continues. In a classic example of human arrogance, rather than addressing the damage, old New York City subway cars are being used to create artificial reefs.

Brazil released second quarter economic results on Friday showing growth of a meager 0.4 percent compared to the first quarter, according to government figures from the Brazilian Institute for Statistics, or IBGE.
It wasn't much better year over year, either. Brazil's GDP growth was just 0.5 percent.
That's right. The B in BRICs these days stands for boring.
As an investment, equity markets there have underperformed the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index this year and has been the worst performer out of all the top four emerging markets, meaning Russia, India and China. Although here in the U.S., investors and the financial punditry on CNBC and Bloomberg prefer to discuss the "ti-ti-ti" of China, Brazil as an equity investment has been much worse.
The MSCI Brazil (EWZ) exchange traded fund is down 8.73 percent year to date while the iShares FTSE China Xinhua 25 (FXI) ETF, the second worst performer due to a load of bank and real estate shares in that particular fund, is down 5.38 percent. The MSCI Emerging Markets index is up 3.18 percent. The major Russia and India ETFs are all up year-to-date.
Even record low interest rates are of no use to this economy, it seems. The industrial sector is essentially in a recession, with a second quarter contraction of 2.5 percent compared to the first, and around 1.5 percent compared to the same period a year ago.
All told, national production of goods and services in Brazil amounted to R$1.101 trillion (approximately $561.2 billion, using the average exchange rate in the second quarter).
If not for the agricultural sector last quarter, which rose 4.9 percent compared to the first quarter and 1.7 percent from the same period a year ago, Brazil would have registered no gains at all. Agriculture accounts for less than a third of the Brazilian economy.
Nevertheless, Brazil's cheerleading, currency war fighting Finance Minister, Guido Mantega, said he believes the worst is behind them.
"Brazil's second quarter results show that the Brazilian economy is gradually picking up. We are already observing a recovery in investments in the second half of this year," he said in a statement. "The domestic market remains dynamic and vigorous, contrary to what we are observing in other parts of the world. Despite the adverse external environment, the Brazilian economy has been reacting positively to the various countercyclical measures adopted by the Brazilian government. By the end of this year, we expect Brazil to be growing at an annualized rate of around 4 percent," he declared.
Year ending GDP growth, non-annualized, is expected to come in around 2 percent, roughly on par with the U.S. economy, which is still recovering from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Brazil has thrown everything plus the kitchen sink at its domestic economy. But a round of mistimed fiscal and monetary policies coupled with a slowdown in China, Brazil's leading export market, and the ongoing problems in Europe have made for slower than expected growth in the country all year. There seems to be no end in sight, with China still hobbling along at a slower than normal pace and Europe mired in crisis. At best, Brazil's tax cuts and low credit costs can probably be credited for keeping the country out of a recession, but only barely.
Over the last several months, the Brazilian real has weakened to two to the dollar, a favorite forex rate for Mantega and many mid-sized and smaller exporters clamoring for markets but unable to tap them because the real has been strong for years, trading around R$1.80 to even R$1.65 to the dollar. But even that has done little to help overall GDP. And while the woes of the international economy are not Brazil's fault, they are clearly weighing on the shoulders of policy makers who are longing for the days when money was flowing like dust in a tornado in the heady days pre-crisis.
Even Brazil's newfound oil wealth isn't as big a deal as it once was. Petrobras (PBR) is losing money and says it will invest less in its deep water oil drilling. Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista is taking some of his private commodity and logistics companies off the market and making them private after mega losses this year.
Another consideration of the economy going forward is the impact of soon to be announced tax cuts on the inflation rate. For example, changes to taxation of energy will lower inflation this year. In effect these types of measures represent on-off negative supply shocks on inflation, taking it lower, says Tony Volpon, managing director at Nomura Securities in New York.
"But in so far as they represent fiscal easing, they also generate a positive demand shock, only of less immediate but longer lasting impact. Thus they represent a trade-off between less inflation today for more inflation tomorrow," he warns. "Though it is extremely difficult to say what the net impact is, the timing of the pattern is clear. Thus even forgetting the fact that there are fiscal limits to how much can be done in this front, front loading these measures now will only generate more inflation later."
(To my Brazilian friends: eu pelo menos não acho Brasil chato. Ainda adoro seu pais e ainda tô investindo nesse porcaria de Petrobras que me faz chorar diaramente. I sorry. My Português no so goody anymore.)

20 Years Ago: Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes of TLC Burns Down Andre Rison's House
Twenty years ago on this day, TLC's Left Eye made headlines when she burned down her boyfriend Andre Rison's mansion.
Twenty years ago on this day, TLC's Left Eye made headlines when she burned down her boyfriend Andre Rison's mansion.
It's no secret that TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was working on a solo album for Death Row Records under the moniker N.I.N.A. (New Identity Not Applicable) before her untimely death in April 2002. But in a new interview with L.A. Weekly, Left Eye's last producer, Darren Vegas, reveals some interesting information about the unfinished project.
Lester Cohen, WireImage
Legendary music executive Clive Davis, 80, who signed Whitney Houston, Diddy, Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin and many others, has revealed that he is bisexual. While this is probably not news to many in
"The word anniversary means a celebration," Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins said in a statement as she remembered her former TLC bandmate Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, 10 years after her tragic death. "For us her death will never be a celebration -- it's still something that hurts," she added. Lopes was killed on April 25, 2002, in a car accident in Honduras.
If Nicki Minaj is the only female rapper on your radar, then Houston, we have a problem. Sure, the animated rhymer has saturated videos alongside Diddy, DJ Khaled and Trey Songz as of late, but a slew of femcees commanded the spotlight in clips way before she donned an orange wig

Latest From Our Blogs
July / August 2014
Congressional Visit In late August, Redeemer's Child was honored to be visited by Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota. She was in Haiti with a delegation from the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI). A good friend of Redeemer's arranged the visit. The goal of CCAI is to educate policymakers on issues related to adoption and foster care in an effort to remove policy barriers that hinder children from finding families. Within this role, they are also concerned with orphan care. Congresswoman Bachmann was able to share meal with the children and was blessed with a few of the songs they sing. Thank you Congresswoman Bachmann for you commitment to care for orphans in their time of need.
May / June 2014
Many of our teams have participated in digging, clearing and moving dirt bucket by bucket for the school at Redeemer's Child Orphanage in Croix-des-Bouquets. All of those efforts have made it possible for the foundation to be set, the first floor constructed, and this summer, the second floor to be poured. We are so excited to see how all the prayer, labor and generosity have come together to bring us to this point. As the building takes shape, it is becoming easier to envision the school filled with children, learning not only the basics of reading and writing, but more importantly about the good news of Jesus Christ. We continue to covet your prayer and support for this project and look forward to the day of completion. If you would like to help with this project, you can do so my going to www.monadnockbible.org/haiti/All_Giving.html
March / April 2014
New Chapters Someone said "All good things must come to an end." I am not sure I buy that, but on June 30th we will be saying goodbye to Joan Mosher. She has decided this chapter has come to an end and a new one is to begin in her home state of Maine. She has served the Haiti ministry faithfully for over sixteen years; since its inception, she spearheaded our child sponsorship program. Many children were introduced to the Savior through this program and it has been an honor to labor with her for the cause of Christ. If you would like to send a note of encouragement and gratitude to her, she can be reached at Love in Motion, PO box 70, Jaffrey, NH 03452. In her place, God has brought us Jama Marvel. Jama has traveled with us to Haiti many times and brings great office managerial experience from other ministries where she has worked. She has been working with Joan already to ensure a smooth transition. Both women would appreciate your prayers as they both begin new chapters.

Cuckolds: are you staring at that cock?
I know you are.
Are you becoming aroused in this voyeuristic moment where you see another male aroused?
It's ok; it doesn't mean you're gay (or even bi). Relieved, right? Your wife is, too.
I was asked about this topic by a wife recently who was concerned that her husband got so aroused by hearing about her boyfriends cock and would even get aroused by images such as this. Granted, there are many bi-sexual men out there and certainly some married men who are in the closet and will gladly hide behind the cuckold role to further their homosexual desires, but for those who are quite obviously heterosexual in their desires, this reaction to other males is easily explained.
For you husbands who have found yourselves struggling with what it means to be so aroused by mens' cocks, answer this: when you view an image such as this, do you think of it in connection with your wife? Is it her lover's cock? Is he about to enter her? Is she crawling across the floor to suck the tip into her mouth? If these are the thoughts you have, then your own swollen state isn't so much about his cock as it is about your role as cuckold.
The cock is the symbol of manhood, which is why it is not referred to as a cock for cuckolds, but rather as a 'penis' and teased, denied and demeaned as an expression of dominance/submission withinin cuckold marriages. It is also the symbol of the husband's cuckolding. This is particularly true when that cock embodies characteristics or qualities superior or more desirable for the wive than the husband's penis.
Being exposed to or having to interact with another male, her lover, in particular, can also bring on these feelings as such interaction (cleaning, bathing, assisting in their coupling) will also likely be very arousing and in these cases, the source of arousal is most often the submission expressed by having to perform such acts - not an attraction to another male.
Perhaps some of you are breathing a sigh of relief now!

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome and team president Dick Cass have been informed in a ruling by a third-party arbitrator that they must testify at the appeal hearing for indefinitely suspended former Ravens running back Ray Rice, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Former federal judge Barbara S. Jones determined that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has to testify in the Rice hearing, which is set for Nov. 5 and Nov. 6, along with the Ravens' executives and Rice, according to sources.
Newsome and Cass attended Rice's meeting with Goodell in New York along with his wife, Janay. Newsome, Cass and Goodell are expected to be questioned by Rice's attorney, Peter Ginsberg, along with NFL Players Association outside counsel Jeffrey Kessler.
Goodell originally suspended Rice for two games for violating the NFL personal-conduct policy then increased his punishment to an indefinite suspension saying that Rice's version of events differed from the video that surfaced of the...Read more
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been ordered to testify in former Ravens running back Ray Rice's appeal hearing, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
NFL lawyers have been resistant to having Goodell testify in the hearing, set for Nov. 5 and Nov. 6, hoping to avoid a he-said, he-said situation between the league's top executive and the three-time Pro Bowl running back, who was suspended indefinitely by the league.
Former federal judge Barbara S. Jones, the third-party arbitrator appointed by Goodell in consultation with NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, has decided to have Goodell testify as a witness, according to sources.
The NFL had no immediate comment, but Goodell said during the fall league meeting that whether he testified would be at the judge's discretion. League spokesman Brian McCarthy previously told The Baltimore Sun: "We intend to comply with the confidentiality order entered by Judge Jones regarding the appeal proceedings."

The last time the Ravens squared off with Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Green, he caught the game-winning touchdown pass in the season-opener just behind cornerback Chykie Brown's outstretched fingertips.
However, Green has been sidelined for the past two games with a turf toe injury and his status for Sunday's game against the Ravens remains undetermined.
Although Green didn't practice Wednesday and Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was noncommittal about his medical outlook, the Ravens are preparing as if Green will be on the field Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
"He's going to play," Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb said authoritatively of Green.
The Ravens didn't have their top cornerback, Jimmy Smith, covering Green on the game-deciding play in the fourth quarter. Since that game, they've replaced Brown in the starting lineup with Webb back from a lower-back injury. Brown was inactive in the Ravens' 29-7 win on Sunday over the Atlanta Falcons.
"You have to assume that any...Read more
Shadowing Cincinnati Bengals multidimensional running back Giovani Bernard is among the Ravens' top defensive priorities heading into Sunday's game at Paul Brown Stadium.
Bernard is a dangerous threat out of the backfield who has caught 19 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in three games against the Ravens. Since being drafted in the second round last year out of North Carolina, Bernard has rushed for 1,096 yards and nine touchdowns with 76 receptions for 691 yards and three touchdowns.
With plenty of athleticism and speed working in his favor, Bernard is someone the Ravens are paying attention to as they make their preparations for Sunday.
"In man coverage, you have to keep an eye on Bernard and make sure we play top-down in coverage and get everybody running to the ball," Ravens rookie inside linebacker C.J. Mosley said. "They like a lot of screens. They did about three or four screens in the first game."
During the Ravens' season-opening 23-16 loss to the Bengals at M&T Bank...Read more
It's been a whirlwind of activity for Kevin McDermott since he caught a red-eye flight from California late Sunday night after Ravens long snapper Morgan Cox tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against the Atlanta Falcons.
Signed to a one-year contract worth $291,177 for the remainder of the season after beating out Patrick Scales for the job vacancy during a Monday morning audition, McDermott has spent the past few days familiarizing himself with Pro Bowl kicker Justin Tucker and punter-holder Sam Koch.
"It's been great, very glad to be here and getting to know my new teammates and getting to know everybody," McDermott said. "It's an honor to be a part of the Ravens I think I benefited from being here in the preseason. They've been great trying to catch me up to speed."
McDermott had a previous stint with the San Francisco 49ers a year ago as their regular long snapper after being signed as an undrafted rookie free agent out of UCLA. McDermott also snapped in three...Read more
Ravens left tackle Eugene Monroe's patience has been tested by a right knee injury that has kept him out a month.
Now, Monroe's recovery from arthroscopic surgery is coming to an end, and he expressed confidence he'll return for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Undrafted rookie James Hurst has started the last four games in Monroe's place.
"Yeah, it gets frustrating after a while being in a training room every day," said Monroe, who practiced Wednesday. "Missing out on games, man, that was really the first stretch of my career where I was out for consecutive weeks. It was different, but it was needed. I needed to get healthy, and now that's happened. I'm just glad to be back out there. I feel real good about it."
Monroe participated fully Wednesday along with left guard Kelechi Osmele, who has a bruised, hyperextended right knee that's being protected by a brace.
Osemele declined an interview request on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, tight end Owen Daniels didn't practice due to a...Read more

The biology of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is far from
Reproductive hormones have been thought to be implicated because women
experience its symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual
cycle—the two weeks or so following ovulation where the reproductive
hormones progesterone and estrogen are elevated. However, the levels of
progesterone and estrogen at this phase of the menstrual cycle are no higher
in PMDD subjects than in non-PMDD ones, so the cause of PMDD must be due to
more than just elevations in progesterone and estrogen.
A study published in the June 19 advance online version of Molecular
Psychiatry supports such a hypothesis. It has found that a dose of
progesterone can activate the amygdala in mentally and physically healthy
young women. Thus PMDD may be due, at least in part, to an excess of
progesterone in the luteal phase exciting the amygdala, the researchers
Progesterone is known to produce anxiety in animals, and it appears to do
so by acting on the amygdala. So Guido van Wingen, a doctoral candidate at
Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and
his colleagues suspected that progesterone might provoke anxiety and other
symptoms of PMDD by acting on the amygdala.
To test their hypothesis, they gave an oral placebo to 18 mentally and
physically healthy young women in the follicular phase (day 2-7) of their
menstrual cycles, when endogenous progesterone is low. Subjects were then
shown visual stimuli known to robustly engage the amygdala, and functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure the reaction of their
amygdalae to the stimuli. Then when the subjects were in the follicular phase
of another of their menstrual cycles, they received an oral administration of
progesterone, which increased levels of progesterone to the levels that they
normally would have experienced during the luteal phase of their menstrual
cycles. Again they were shown visual stimuli known to robustly engage the
amygdala, and again fMRI was used to measure amygdala reactivity.
The researchers t hen compared amygdala reactivity, finding that it was
significantly greater under the influence of progesterone than in the control
situation. In contrast, progesterone did not influence neural activity in
other brain areas any more than the control situation did.
Thus, even though the results were obtained in women without PMDD, the
imaging results implied that PMDD may be due, at least in part, to a surge in
progesterone during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and subsequent
amygdala activation.
The researchers also suggested that progesterone-induced amygdala activity
could affect the processing in other brain regions relevant for mood
regulation. For example, they found that progesterone decreased the functional
connection of the amygdala with the fusiform gyrus, a brain region involved in
the processing of angry or fearful face stimuli, and that progesterone
increased the functional coupling of the amygdala with the dorsal anterior
cingulate gyrus, a brain region activated during the evaluation of threatening
Recently, a variation in the ESR1 gene, which codes for an estrogen
receptor, was found to dist inguish women with PMDD from women without it
(Psychiatric News, August 17). If PMDD is indeed due to an elevated
level of progesterone exciting the amygdala, then how does this gene variant
fit into the picture? Van Wingen told Psychiatric News that he didn't
know, but added, "Our results indicate that progesterone modulates the
interactions between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex." Thus, it's
possible, he speculated, that PMDD could be due to a surge in progesterone
exciting the amygdala and then to the prefrontal cortex not being able to halt
the excitement due to altered estrogen sensitivity.
Although PMDD is not officially recognized as a mental disorder in
DSM, it is listed in the DSM-IV-TR appendix as a condition
worthy of further study. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved
four medications to treat the condition—the antidepressants fluoxetine
(marketed as Sarafem), sertraline (Zoloft), and paroxetine controlled-release
(Paxil CR), and the oral contraceptive drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol
combination (Yaz).
The study was funded by the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, the
European Union, and the Swedish Research Council.

Reactivity in Women" is posted at<www.nature.com/mp/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/4002030a.html>.▪

Iridescent Shark Catfish are very graceful, elegant swimmers and beautiful fish to watch!

I've had mine about 5 months. It's always jumping around. Very good community fish but my eel is always attacking it. What should I do?
Kim - 2008-09-05
I adopted a pangasius catfish that was originally about 15 inches and 12 years old. She was in a 210 gal tank and would freak out and jump out of the much to small tank, leaving a massive mess behind her. I brought her home and put her in an agricultural tub while looking for a more suitable home for her. My family fell in love with her and when I finally found an affordable 500 gallon tank I bought it right away. The only problem, it wouldn't fit in the basement. Guess what, now we are currently in our new home (with bilco doors to the basement - yes we moved for the fish) and Rebuttal is in her 500 gallon tank. She is happy as can be and is now about 27 inches, so we will be looking for another bigger tank for her in the future.

I have bought two pangasius catfish and they hide in this log all day long. I am really diassappointed, they were swimming around at the pet store. Someone help please. I have had them for a month now. They are in a 46 gallon tank and are about two inches long. Please help.

My wife & I have 2 Iridescent sharks, Bonnie & Clyde, & have had them for almost 3 years now. They've been in a 10 gallon tank & have done really well. They have grown a lot but still had room to swim in the tank. When we got them they were only about 1 1/2'' - 2'', but are now about 5 1/2'' each. We've always mixed up their diet a little bit, between flakes, bloodworms, freeze dried shrimps & live feeder guppies. They really devour the live feeder guppies though! Just last week we upgraded to a 55 gallon for them. They still kind of stick to one corner of the tank, but are exploring more & more. We really love these guys. We think they make a great addition to our living room, along with a great conversation piece. We are anxious to watch them get more comfortable in their new tank & enjoy their entertaining ways.
Rachel - 2008-04-16
I have an asian shark catfish which is a pangasius catfish. He is still quite small (about 3 inches) but he loves to shoal with my silver shark (who is about 7 inches). He does freak out when we change the water and at feeding times. He bullies my red-tailed black shark (which is no bad thing as red is very territorial!) and he also loves to pick at the algae thats growing on my australian red-clawed crayfish (he's very big 9 inches long). I don't have a problem with him growing big as my tank is 4 foot long and approx 3 feet deep and 2 1/2 foot wide, so there's plenty of room for him for a while yet. If I'd known that he would be so entertaining I would have gotten more than one, but in south wales they seem quite hard to find.

I have had these beautiful sharks now for only two years, and love them desperately. Unfortunately my original two died when I asked a friend to fish sit for me, she over medicated them despite my many warnings on how to medicate. Nevertheless I was able to get two more and have had them just about 8 months now. They have grown from about 2 inches to now 6" and 8". If you are interested in these large beauties be sure to do your research ahead of time. I knew they got large but I never fully planned on this much growth this fast, so for the time being they must stay in their 55 gallon tank. They don't seem to mind, they do travel well. I am in college so they come home with me over the summer and Christmas. They don't seem to mind as long as they get the travel tank to themselves. I have 2 other Lace Catfish that they prefer not to ride with because they like to pester them. Manteo and Viet are always together. He does get quite upset and plays dead every time I clean the thank. She doesn't seem to mind, except for the fact that he's playing opossum and she has no one to swim with. She often pokes him until he comes back to. I have a 75 gallon tank waiting for them back home and can't wait to move them over. Hopefully that will last them another year or so until I can buy a house and give them a proper home. Some things to keep in mind about these guys if you are looking into buying one. They like to school, mine almost never leave each-other's sides. Also, they do not like light, they will bash around the thank until it's turned off. I only use my light as a sign that I am putting food in the tank. They do seem to love variety in their diet. They are very sensitive to changes in the tank, so change things over time. They get very large fast so beware. I have many people in the Marine Biology department who say they have had their sharks for 10 years and they never seem to get any bigger than 6". I'm not sure why because my old ones were about the size of these guys and the same age, and I had only had them 7 months. These guys just don't seem to stop growing, it might be that I only feed, medicate, and condition with natural or organic things. They also receive bottled water because I have well water. Don't worry when they play opossum they'll come back to its just a coping device. Its a hard first fish but really fun if you're ready to dive into the deep end. Remember with medications only to give them 1/2 doses. While the large ones might live thru it, the smaller ones will die. they are scaleless fish. If you are a first time fish owner, fish are amazing pets. They really do have personalities. Manteo, my largest shark is the big, lazy football player of the tank. He's shy, but if he's upset he will bowl everything and everyone over in the tank. Viet is somewhere between a girlfriend in tow and a herding sheep dog. She's always in tow and always prodding if he's too lazy or not giving the attention she wants. Guppy, one of my lace catfish is the nerdy little brother that hides, reading a book in the corner until its time for food or he's being pestered by Cleopatra, my other lace catfish. She is the blatant problem child. She's never happy unless she's bothering the others in the tank. Her days consist of chasing the others relentlessly. And lastly there's Cujo, my fish of the night. He is an upside down catfish. During the day he's such a boring fish, he sits attached to the bottom of one of the leaves in the tank, but as soon as night comes he sneaks off to pester the others. Every now and then I can catch him if I come in and turn the light on unexpectedly.

I have had my iridescent shark at least 7 years. I call him B.T. named for a school bus driver. He is approximately 7 inches. (He won't stay still long enough for me to measure him.) When I saw how large and how fast they grow, I got very concerned. I only have a 55 gallon tank and no options for getting a larger one. Somehow he still is more then comfortable in his tank. Unfortunatly, he lost one eye to "Pop-eye" and the other just fogged over and is useless. But this has not stopped him at all. B.T. will only eat algae tablets. He used to eat the flake food but does not seem interested any more. My experience with this fish has been very positive. My co-workers all love B.T. and are terrified that he will die while I am on vacation.
I constantly wonder how long he will continue to live and how large he may get. But as fish go, this has been a wonderful experience. Long live my Iridescent shark, B.T.

I have owned a Pangasius catfish for about 6 years and have now found another home for it. It has grown to 18 inches and eats cichlid staple pellets (7 handfuls a night. Giving it 1 handful then waiting for it to eat it all before giving it another). This fish will grow to maximum length and weight (between 5 and 10 foot, 96 to 300lb depending on type) it doesn't matter what tank you put it in, and needs plenty of room to swim. I would suggest a 5000 litre tank or larger. It is also likely that you will need plenty of money for food as these fish, when full grown, can eat anything up to the size of a small cat (In the wild a Pangasius Gigas will eat animals that fall into the water, such as dogs!). They eat mainly at night.
If you want the fish to be calm give it plenty of attention. It will be scared for a while but gets used to it. The only light you will need is the light of your room (no tank lights).
I would suggest looking at other types of fish as these should not be sold to the public under any circumstances and, unless you can fill your living room full of water or build an extremely large heated pond, you will only end up getting rid of it.

My shop, Environmental science and technology, just got two iridescent sharks and are studing them. They are so interesting.

I love my Pangasius. I've had her for about 2 months. She was underweight at the pet shop and that's why I picked her. She was a bit panicky the first day, but she settled right in. She doesn't hide or sleep in any wierd postitions. She likes one spot in the middle of the tank and stays there alot. She does swim around fine and will hide in the corner when I do a water change, but as soon as the lids back on, she's back out again. She eats anything I put in the tank food wise and sometimes has to fight the Pleco for it, but neither gets hurt. Not sure what I'll do with her when she grows, but for now at 3in, she's fine.

PR is a craft. At the heart of that craft are three muscles that must be trained and flexed on a daily basis. Listening, appreciation and curiosity. Now, more than ever, this world demands a concession to conversational instinct and that comes from a lifetime of building and nurturing relationships and of understanding human nuance. But then conversely, experience though of great value, all too often fails to change the world. What does change the world is open mindedness and a healthy dose of distraction! Imagine suggesting a module focusing on distraction should make the PR degree syllabus – and yet, being open to disjointed impressions is essential for creativity. And creativity is essential to great PR.
Many of us can get into the habit of believing that solving problems and creating solutions means bringing our minds to bear on them with discipline, thoughtful concentration and single-mindedness. I'm not sure this is completely true. Discipline, thoughtful concentration and myopic focus usually shut down creativity and drive it straight into reasonableness and logic, and whilst of course, logic certainly has its place and so do intense concentration, undistracted focus and attention to detail, they are best to come after the flip side of that has produced its magic. That magic, comes from limitless distractions and disjointedness to provoke appreciation, curiosity and imagination, in whichever sequence they occur to you.
Most businesses are growth obsessed and can only purport to be creatively driven. Most are repeat order service businesses, where originality and breakthroughs take too much time and don't add up on the balance sheet.
A successful business or campaign now demands relationships are built on trust and based on an understanding of different demands and opinion. This is the first time in modern business when success or failure depends not on what you say nor even on what you produce, but who you are.
Be careful.
This world demands trust above all and, alongside that, the right people in positions of power who understand the pressures.
Traditional methodologies are no longer fit for purpose. A younger, more knowing generation cannot be moved in the same way as before.
Legacy industries have to touch the same consumers they once bought. Fifty years ago corporations could hide behind expensive public image campaigns. But now thanks to social media they actually need to connect properly.
This is the first time in modern business when success or failure depends not on what you say, nor even on what you produce, but on who you are.
In days gone by, trust was at best viewed as subsidiary to the all-pervasive focus on better sales and market share demanded by stakeholders.
In the current environment, the degree to which consumer trust influences decisions has never been higher and is clearly rising.
Yet, paradoxically, trust and transactions are independent variables. Only when you view them as such can you fully understand their relationship to true brand sustainability.
PR can no longer shape perceptions about a brand to the same extent because a brand is a conversation happening as much outside a company's walls as within them.
So it is individual relationships that count. That said, businesses should avoid the tendency to use their increased social reach to try to 'advertise' their way out of that responsibility. Behaviour is on public display so customer interaction is an imperative.
Big corporations that have been weighed down by their responsibility to shareholders and legal straight-jackets must be able to rethink these bonds.
It is time to develop a new style of corporate leader and build something more resilient.
Given the nature and role of textiles, it should therefore come as no surprise to discover that they can serve as powerful visual metaphors for all sorts sentiment and propaganda.
There's a point. This week Karl Lagerfeld sent a parade of waifs down the runway brandishing placards for women's rights (of a Barbie doll kind of flavour) Lagerfeld certainly knows how to pull off a stunt, but is this really the best fashion can do? Lagerfeld's comment "I don't ask myself political questions at that level" proved this was nothing more than his version of a model army.
Stunts are the fastest means to create indelible brand infamy. Some of them are put under the microscope and picked apart by media cynics, Chanel included, but the greatest stunts are those which nobody spots as stunts. Without careful thought the wrong stunt can diminish the impact of the message, and if it's not backed up it's not worth the newspaper inches it generates.
If you look back in history, fashion actually does have the power to make such changes: Coco Chanel herself emancipated women from the restrictive corsetry giving them freedom to move and work. This was nothing but a tongue in cheek swipe at the Parisian predilection for street protest, but one that millions are impressionable young women are willing to buy into…
This week, the New York Times reported that Russia is set to <http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/09/24/world/europe/russia-takes-step-to-extend-control-over-news-media.html?ref=europe&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=1&referrer=> "limit foreign ownership of Russian media outlets to 20 percent, targeting several prominent publications critical of the government and extending the Kremlin's control over the nation's independent news media". Russian lawmakers claim that the West has been using the media to attack the Russian government, particularly in light of the situation in the Ukraine.
Whilst this may seem like a political grizzly bearing its teeth at basic freedom of expression, there is an element of truth in the lawmakers' claims. Media Land has been the frontier of many a Cold War, and the West is just as guilty of the manipulation and dissemination of meddlesome information or misinformation, as the East. A brilliant article in this week's LRB by Frances Stonor Saunders entitled The Writer and the Valet <http://www.lrb.co.uk/v36/n18/frances-stonorsaunders/the-writer-and-the-valet> provided an excellent exposé of the War of Words that took place during the last Cold War. Specifically, the article explored the theft and illegal circulation of Pasternak's novel Dr Zhivago by Western political powers ranging from the BBC, MI6, the Vatican, and the CIA to attack Russia in a move dubbed Operation Dinosaur. It is evident that power structures in the West were also content with putting lives at risk in the crossfire of media jousting.
The Financial Times reports that <http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f83e04ee-4339-11e4-be3f-00144feabdc0.html> "some executives believe the new rules may also be aimed at helping Gazprom Media, the country's largest media holding, gain full control of radio station Ekho Moskvy, the lone liberal bastion on Russia's airwaves". The link to Gazprom Media is significant, as the giant has ties with Michael Maslov and Ketchum, the PR heavyweight behind Putin's communications – whom we wrote about in 2013. <http://www.markborkowski.co.uk/ketchum-pr/> CNBC wrote an interesting piece on their relationship this year <http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2Fid%2F101465564&ei=OaMiVLyVPIyd7gaArYGADA&usg=AFQjCNE8w7vwcQD1eY3J5xAoMTMpLaj1YA&sig2=hgbrT88feE4DFhGCleoIbg&bvm=bv.75775273,d.ZGU> , too.
As Russia wraps her wings around herself once more, we can be sure that this War of Words will provide ample ground for the spreading of mischief on both sides of the world. Pasternak is just the tip of the iceberg.
Anyway, this is not a radical new thought. But it's one I keep coming back to.
It's the listeners, the doers, the seekers and the questioners that don't sit with the status quo that make change happen. Yet in an ever changing media landscape it's more and more impossible to allow for distraction and time out to reflect on new ideas and thinking.
Blinkered by habit and time pressures we glance around rather than look with acuity. Yet what we see and what we notice aren't the same. CEO's so often fail to step outside of their own echo chamber, so they fail to see the bigger picture or the legacy from the past. We shouldn't write off what's gone before, as taking experience forward is vital. But it must be done with an open mind. This means building cultures where mistakes are allowed.
For experience is based on repetition and rigidity.
In many cases when businesses hit a crisis point, either in communications or strategy, they call for an "expert". After all there is no one more expert than an "expert!". But an expert will see that your question gets answered as if it's been answered many times before, and the resulting solution is actually more or less the same answer!
That is why a critical friend with an open mind is more vital than ever. There is no one answer these days or at least there is a wide picture to glean before the answer is arrived at. So someone who is not fooled by fashion, tamed by reason and trapped by experience is what a business should look for. Leaders are required to become masters of reaction which requires a wholly new mind-set and approach – one that embraces uncertainty, empathy and learning how to communicate in a way that can be engaged with. Everyone talks about disruption which is fine as long as you don't paper an Emperor.
Successful campaigns and services are designed around compelling ideas, organisation and immaculate detail. A given of course.
But not easy to reach that point. Working with people who inspire new thinking allows us to go beyond where we are capable of getting to alone…
ALS. It doesn't matter if it's not new. Kudos!

Optometrists, also known as ophthalmic opticians, carry out detailed eye examinations to test vision and identify any problems or defects. They make a diagnosis and when necessary prescribe, fit and supply spectacles and other optical appliances, often advising patients on suitable frames. Vision defects are measured using sophisticated instruments which make assessments based on the way light bounces off the retina. The strength of a lens is evaluated through the use of reading charts and other tests. Optometrists must also be aware of eye diseases - these are treated by...more
