The present invention relates to a digital switch for handling time division multiplexed (TDM) pulse code modulation (PCM) intelligence.
It is known in such switches for the PCM words or bytes received over TDM highways into the switch to be converted from serial to parallel format for handling within the switch, often with the reverse conversion at the output side of the switch. In addition the thus converted data is super-multiplexed within the switch so that, for instance, with 8 bit words these words from eight PCM highways are super-multiplexed onto one highway within the switch. Such a process is used separately for GO and RETURN paths. Such an arrangement has been found to give economies as compared with the switching of individual serial highways.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improvement to a switch of the above type.
According to the invention there is provided an electrical digital switching arrangement for handling time division multiplexed (TDM) pulse code modulation (PCM) intelligence, in which separate forward and reverse highways are provided for each of a number of PCM systems between which switching is effected, in which a loop-back connection between the portions of the arrangement for two directions is provided so that when a call is to be set up between two subscriber lines served by the arrangement that call is set up wholly within that arrangement and in which when a said call is set up via the loop-back connection a delay is introduced which is appropriate to the time difference between the two TDM channels to allocated respective ones of which the two lines to be connected.
According to the invention there is further provided an electrical digital switching arrangement for handling time division multiplexed (TDM) pulse code modulation (PCM) intelligence, which includes inputs from the forward channels of a number of TDM highways each of which serves a number of subscriber lines, the PCM bytes being received from the highways in byte-interleaved serial manner, a second-stage multiplexer to which the bytes from the highways are applied via serial-to-parallel conversion means, which multiplexer multiplexes the PCM bytes together into byte-interleaved parallel manner to give a super-multiplexed output from the said multiplexer, a super-multiplexed input via which super-multiplexed PCM bytes for the lines served are received in byte-interleaved parallel manner, first selection means to which said input is applied and which applies the PCM bytes to parallel-to-serial conversion means, the results of the conversion effected by said parallel-to-serial conversion means being applied to the reverse channels of the TDM highways to the respective subscriber lines, further selection means for controlling calls involving respective ones of the lines served as needed for the calls to be set up through the switching arrangement, a loop-back connection from the super-multiplexed output from said forward channels to the first selection means which loop-back connection introduces a fixed delay to which the bytes passing via that connection are subjected, and means under control of the further selection means whereby the first selection means can be set to a first condition for a call to be set up wholly within the arrangement or to a second condition for a call to be set up which is not wholly within the arrangement, in which the said serial-to-parallel conversion means and the said parallel-to-serial conversion means both include temporary storage for the PCM bytes being dealt with, in which for a call to be set up wholly within the arrangement the first selection means is set to its said first condition wherein the loop-back connection is used, the delay to which the PCM bytes are subjected having a value appropriate to the time difference between the TDM channels allocated to the respective ones of the lines invalued in the call, and in which for a call to be set up which is not wholly within the arrangement the first selection means is set to its said second condition wherein the loop-back connection is not used.
It will be appreciated that with such a system if the output side of the switch should fail, local calls can still be set up via the loop-back connection. Further, such a switch, with only the loop-back connection at the "output" side is usable as a small local exchange.
Hence the present invention also provides an electrical digital telephone exchange for handling time-division multiplexed (TDM) pulse code modulation (PCM) intelligence, which includes inputs from the forward channels of a number of TDM highways each of which serves a number of subscriber lines, the PCM bytes being received from the highways in byte-interleaved serial manner, a second-stage multiplexer to which the bytes from the highways are applied via serial-to-parallel conversion means, which multiplexer multiplexes the bytes together in byte-interleaved parallel manner to give a super-multiplexed output from the said multiplexer, a super-multiplexed input via which super-multiplexed PCM bytes for the lines served are received in byte-interleaved parallel manner, parallel-to-serial conversion means to which the super-multiplexed input is applied, the results of the conversion effected by said parallel-to-serial conversion means being applied to the reverse channels of the TDM highways to the respective subscriber lines, and a loop-back connection from the super-multiplexed output from said forward channels to the super-multiplexed input to the reverse channels and thus to the parallel-to-serial conversion means, which loop-back introduces a fixed delay to which the bytes passing via that connection are subjected, in which the said serial-to-parallel conversion means and the said parallel-to-serial conversion both include temporary storage for the bytes being dealt with, and in which a call to be set up between two of the lines served by the exchanger is set up via the loop-back connection, the delay to which the PCM bytes are subjected having a value appropriate to the time difference between the TDM channels allotted to the respective ones of the lines involved in the call.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying highly simplified block schematic drawing.
The arrangement shown in the drawing serves a number, eight in this case, of blocks of subscribers, each consisting of 256 subscribers, and served by eight PCM systems, each serving 32 subscriber lines, each of which is allocated one time slot on his PCM system. The systems are "four-wire", i.e. separate forward and reverse highways are provided, and PCM words or bytes are received from and sent to the subscribers' lines in serial byte-interleaved form. As will be seen, the internal highway within the switching arrangement is organised in parallel byte interleaved manner with a bit rate of 2.048 Mb/s. After switching, the intelligence is converted back to serial form for transmission over eight thirty-channel PCM systems. These latter are also "four-wire", and are similar to the PCM systems leading to the lines, with the difference that two slots are allotted to signalling and synchronisation functions.
The intelligence in the parallel byte-interleaved form may be looped back from the forward side of the switching arrangement to the reverse side with a half frame delay. This enables local calls to be set up within the switching arrangement, which is useful if the arrangement is a line concentrator remote from a parent exchange and if the connections to the parent exchange should fail. In such a case the concentrator can continue to handle local calls. Furthermore, the arrangement can be used as a small local exchange or PABX, with some connections to a remote exchange.
Referring now to the drawing, the arrangement is in two parts, that above the dashed line for the forward direction, and that below the line for the reverse direction. The arrangement can switch up to 2048 subscribers to 256 time slots in a 125 μsec. frame, i.e. the PCM byte rate is 8 KHz. The subscriber's lines are grouped in blocks of 256, each block served by eight 32 channel PCM highways, on which intelligence is received in serial byte-interleaved form. The arrangement shown has eight line receiver and staticiser blocks such as 10 each of which receives eight PCM forward highways. This block includes such pulse re-shaping and amplification as is needed, and staticizes each received byte, for application to a serial-to-parallel converter 11, from which the intelligence passes to a second stage multiplexer 12 and to a RAM 13. The converter 11, like most of the blocks included in the drawing is a "custom" chip.
The "parallelised" bytes are thus stored sequentially in the locations of the RAM 13, which is a 256 byte store, each byte location being able to accommodate an eight bit byte during the first half of a 2.048 MHz time slot. These bytes now await switching, which is controlled from the central control (not shown) of the system using the arrangement shown. To switch the bytes from one subscriber's line, the central control sends an eleven bit address in a selected time slot (on the 2.048 MHz highway) to define the line whose byte is to be switched to that time slot. This address, received over the connections shown at 15 is applied to all of the RAMs such as 13 and to the multiplexer 12. Eight bits of the address selects the same-numbered location in all RAM's such as 13 while the other three bits are applied to the multiplexer 12 to cause it to select the block from which a byte is to be switched. This addressing is effected in the second half of the 2.048 MHz time slot. Note that the multiplexer 12 has inputs from all eight of the converters such as 11.
The output from the multiplexer 12, which is in parallel byte-interleaved "super multiplexed" form is applied to a so-called ROM system 17, and if it is speech during an established connection it passes through the system 17 unaltered. This system includes a read-only memory, and its function is tone generation and injection, and in some cases pad switching. Pad switching is necessary where lines with widely varying attenuation characteristics are present, in which case for some at least of the calls to be set up, pads may have to be switched in. This system is controlled from the central control over an input CB, via which central control supplies a control word for each of the 256 time slots to define whether the output of the ROM system 17 is unattenuated speech, or attenuated speech (in which case the control word indicates which pad is to be cut in), or whether a tone, suitably cadenced, is to be injected into the particular time slot.
From the ROM system 17 the speech or other intelligence passes to a parallel-to-serial converter 18, which may be the same "custom" chip as the converter 11 but used "in reverse", the output of which is eight 30 channel PCM highways. As already mentioned, only 30 channels are usable on these highways since channels 0 and 16 are used for synchronisation and signalling.
The output of the ROM system is also applied to a fixed delay RAM 19 and stored therein and read out half a frame later to give the loop-back facility. As will be seen later, this provides the facility whereby local calls can be set up wholly within the arrangement shown.
In the reverse direction, byte-interleaved serial intelligence arrives via eight 30 channel PCM highways at a serial-to-parallel converter 20. The output of this converter is applied to a select unit 21, to which the output of the fixed delay RAM 19 is also connected, and at which it is multiplexed with the output of the RAM 19. The central control determines the loop-back status of each time slot, i.e. it decides whether that time slot is in use of intelligence from the converter 20 or the RAM 19. This control is effected via an isolation bit input IB.
The data which leaves the block 21, which in normal operation is usually the bytes received from the converter 20, passes therefrom to another ROM system 22, which is very similar to the system 17. Thus, dependent upon the control word applied to it from the central control via the input CB, this block 22 passes unattenuated speech, attenuated speech, or cadenced tones.
The intelligence in both directions is aligned at this point, so the same eleven bit address is used to control both reverse and forward switches. Thus the three high order address bits enable the write pulses for one of the eight reverse-direction RAM's such as 24. Intelligence is read from the sequential RAM locations in the first half of a 2.048 MHz on all eight blocks of 256 subscribers, but only one of these is effective due to the selection due to the first three bits. To effect this, the write enable gating 23 controls writing into the selected one of the RAM's 24.
From the appropriate one of the RAM's 24 the intelligence goes to a parallel-to-serial converter 25 from which it passes to a staticiser and line driver block 26. The output of this latter is eight 32-channel PCM highways, and these give access to the lines served.
The fixed delay RAM 19, which introduces a half-frame delay, enables local calls, i.e. calls in which both lines are in the same 2048, to be set up without proceeding further into the system. If the arrangement shown is at a concentrator, this means that for a local call the parent exchange is not involved. In addition, if the links to the parent exchange all fail, then the concentrator can still function for local calls. Note that such a call uses two time slot channels separated in time by half a frame.
If the communication to the parent exchange fails when there are local calls in existence which do not use the loop-back connection, these calls can in some cases be re-arranged so as to use such connections under control of the controlling program of microprocessors in the various blocks shown. When such a re-arrangement takes place it is extremely unlikely that the subscribers involved in the re-arranged calls would realise that anything had happened.
Normally in a concentrator system charging is effected at the parent exchange: in the present system if the communication to the parent exchange fails normal telephone calls set up via the RAM 19 are not charged during the failure period.
A system as described with or without the blocks 18 and 20 can be used as a local exchange, or a PABX, with links to a main exchange or (in the case of a PABX) an exchange in the public network.
Only 240 of the 256 time slots on the internal "super multiplex" are available for speech, as two time slots out of each 32 are used for synchronisation and signalling. In the forward direction the remaining 16 time slots are assigned to multifrequency signalling (e.g. MF4), and the ROM system 17 outputs for these time slots are stored in the block 27 and then transmitted over a serial PCM link to a VF receiver.
Considered from the "equipment practice" aspect, each level of switching provides four cards for 512 subscribers, plus one card for each additional 512 subscribers.
In the interest of system security, the arrangements shown in the drawing are triplicated, with the outputs from blocks 18, and 26, taken via majority decision gating (not shown). This functions in known manner to give a majority decision output, and gives an alarm in the event of any discrepancies being detected. The majority decision gating and the alarm circuitry associated therewith are not shown to avoid needlessly complicating the drawing.

text: 000 FXUS63 KGLD 220150 AFDGLD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 750 PM MDT THU JUL 21 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 750 PM MDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Have issued update to decrease coverage/slow timing of rw/trw into the CWA. Currently...only activity moving thru Cheyenne county in CO. Based on current trend...may have to cut back further if more of an east/northeast push is not seen in next couple hours. Some tweaks for temps as well. Sunset is providing a much needed cooling after many locales have seen 100F or higher today. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 220 PM MDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Latest upper air data shows a ridge centered over the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. Rotating around the ridge is a short wave trough currently over the Central Rockies with thunderstorms accompanying it. At the surface a trough/dry line was located over the Tri-State Area extending from La Junta and Lamar to Oakley and Atwood. For the rest of the afternoon the upper level short wave trough over the Central Rockies will move onto the Plains bringing thunderstorms with it. The surface trough/dry line will move very little during the afternoon. Latest SPC Mesoanalysis indicates the surface feature is capped, but this may change by late afternoon when the upper level short wave trough deepens over it. Latest radar shows storms already developing in southeast Colorado. Am expecting these storms to continue tracking toward the Tri-State Area and eventually moving into Cheyenne County Colorado. Tonight the short wave trough will deepen over the southwest part of the Tri-State Area. With added lift from the surface trough/dry line am expecting storm coverage to increase during the evening. By midnight the short wave trough will begin filling causing storm activity to diminish. Cannot rule out isolated storms developing across the rest of the Tri-State Area this evening due to large scale lift from the short wave trough. The nose of the low level jet will develop over the southeast part of the area this evening. This may allow an isolated storm to develop along the elevated CAPE axis that will form along the low level jet nose. After midnight storm activity should be confined to the upper level short wave trough that will be filling over the southwest part of the Tri-State Area. Any storm activity should end a couple hours after midnight as the short wave trough continues to fill. Lows tonight will continue to be above normal. Friday will be another warm day with heat indices of 100 to 105 across the advisory area. Highs will be very similar to today. The surface trough will be southeast of the Tri-State Area during the afternoon. However an upper level short wave trough will deepen over the center of the Tri-State Area during the afternoon, with the strongest lift over the northern and southwest part of the area. Am expecting storm activity to be fairly isolated then increase in coverage into the evening as the short wave trough deepens. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 220 PM MDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Temperatures become more seasonal after Saturday in the long term period. Chances for afternoon and evening thunderstorms persist through early next week for portions of the area. Friday night: The ridge over the CONUS breaks down and high pressure retreats to the west as a shortwave trough advances from the Pacific Northwest towards the northern Plains. Thunderstorm chances continue into Friday evening as convection from Colorado moves eastward. Saturday through Sunday night: The trough travels along the Canadian border towards the northern Plains on Saturday. Temperatures still appear to be warm (ranging from the upper 90s to a couple degrees over 100) ahead of a cold front expected to pass through Saturday night/early Sunday. At this time, am thinking a heat advisory is not needed for Saturday due to slightly lower heat indices than previous days, but will continue to monitor. As the next system nears the region, afternoon/evening thunderstorm chances return. A few strong to severe storms are possible across the region. Cooler temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s are forecast Sunday behind the front. Thunderstorms will be possible again Sunday afternoon and evening with a better chance to the south near the boundary. Monday through Thursday: High pressure remains over the southwestern CONUS in the beginning of the extended, with westerly flow over the northern half of the country. A series of disturbances appear to pass through the flow and impact the High Plains on Monday and Tuesday. Ridging starts to rebuild over the western CONUS towards the later half of the work week. This looks to bring drier conditions and warmer temperatures back to the area. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 520 PM MDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Conditions...VFR...with scattered mid/high clouds.

The Arizona Cardinals' offense took a hit Friday night when rookie running back Ryan Williams left the team's preseason game against Green Bay on a motorized cart.
Replays showed a Packers player landing on the back of Williams' lower right leg.
There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury, but replays left the impression the injury could be serious. Williams had dazzled during training camp and was expected to push Beanie Wells for the starting job eventually.
Arizona traded running back Tim Hightower to the Washington Redskins after the Cardinals used a second-round choice for Williams. Wells ran aggressively and effectively against the Packers. Injury problems have slowed him previously.
LaRod Stephens-Howling and Alfonso Smith are the only other halfbacks on the roster. Reagan Maui'a and Anthony Sherman are fullbacks.
UPDATE: The Cardinals said Williams injured his knee and would not return to the game.

General Motors announced last week that it is purchasing AmeriCredit Inc. so that it can make more subprime auto loans.
Considering that GM was one of several companies bailed out by American taxpayers last year and that losses on subprime loans were largely responsible for those companies' problems, we think this is the wrong message for GM to be sending.
Programs for the 52nd Schweizer Fest were in last week's News and copies are available at our office and businesses across the city. Two events I'd like to plug are the street-car parade Wednesday, Aug. 11, and the Saturday, Aug. 14, diaper derby. For years, both events have been on my Schweizer Fest beat.
The number of participants in the street-car parade, which falls on the Wednesday-evening kickoff to the festival, varies year to year, and since it takes a little time for youngsters and their adult helpers to prepare the entries, now's the time to begin working.
Playing 25-minute, seven-on-seven games in which every offensive play must be a pass is definitely not the same as playing regular 11-man football.
But it does help quarterbacks and receivers hone their skills, and running backs get to work on pass blocking and catching short passes.
It can also help the center, the only offensive lineman who plays in these games, get his exchange with the quarterback down pat.
But for a rebuilding team such as Tell City, success in this type of football can also be a confidence builder.
INDIANAPOLIS - Emily Sprinkle, a seventh-grader from Perry Central, placed 16th in the U.S. Swimming summer state meet July 23-25.
Sprinkle, competing in the 11-12 girls age group, swam the 50-meter freestyle in 31.86 seconds for her 16th place.
She swam that race in 30.43 in the preliminaries. That was a zone qualifying time, making her eligible to swim for Team Indiana in a national meet in Lincoln, Neb., later this summer.
TELL CITY - City celebration will feature golf, baseball, running events.
Golf tourney Aug. 14-15
Entries are being accepted for the 36th Schweizer Fest Golf Open to be played at Hoosier Heights Country Club Aug. 14-15.
Entry fee is $65 for club members and $75 for nonmembers. The fee includes an 18-hole practice round.
All entrants must be high school graduates or age 18 or older.
Up to 120 golfers will be accepted. A full field will have five flights and a senior division for golfers age 60 and over.
UPDATE, THURSDAY - ST. MARKS - A 69-year-old Lewisport, Ky., man involved in a Tuesday crash of an experimental gyrocopter has died from his injuries.
Charles G. Lunceford, 69, had been undergoing treatment in the burn unit at the University of Louisville hospital, a spokeswoman said Wednesday, after suffering severe burns to 80 percent of his body in a crash Tuesday near the Perry County Airport. The morning crash sent a plume of smoke over the airport, which lies near Indiana 37, and closed the county facility as federal investigators arrived to begin an inquiry.
TELL CITY - Rocky Point resident Jeremy Luecke said he was a nervous wreck, "like I was sitting in front of thousands of people when we hit the 'record' button."
He grew more comfortable, however, as he approached completion of what he and Brett Mulzer think was the first full-length master CD recorded in Tell City. Titled simply "Jeremy Luecke," the CD was produced at Mulzer's Side Alley Records studio at 432 Main St.
TELL CITY - County-council members had no choice but to certify a referendum question Cannelton voters will answer in the November election.
"You have to pass the resolution, there is no discretion as to whether you can pass it or not," council attorney Jim Tyler told them at their regular meeting July 22.
As The News reported July 22, Cannelton Schools Superintendent Al Chapman told that city's school board July 13 a tax increase of 41 cents per $100 of assessed value is needed to partially offset a projected $217,000 funding shortage.

Talk:The Sun-Herald

Merge with SMH?[edit]
I removed the suggested merge tag, as there appeared to be no consensus after several weeks of discussion (last count was 6 against, 3 in favour). The last comment was 3 weeks ago (not five as I stated in my edit summary - a counting error, sorry). On that basis I am assuming this conversation has died a natural death.
Please revive it if you feel there is merit in further discussion. Euryalus 03:27, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
As part of a resarch project I have accessed the 25 August 1963 of the paper. Its masthead is The Sun-Herald and is followed by:
Incorporating "The Sunday Sun and Guardian" (No. 3144) and "The Sunday Herald" (No. 757)
This appears to contradict the date given.
Fair use rationale for Image:Sun-herald frontpage 201105.jpg[edit]
Image:Sun-herald frontpage 201105.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

External links modified[edit]
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on The Sun-Herald. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add
{{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add
{{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/20091111235943/http://www.adcentre.com.au/the-sun-herald.aspx to http://www.adcentre.com.au/the-sun-herald.aspx
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I tried to make this work, but you can't view the actual scripting for the examples they have:
(see their working demos here ... http://jquery.vostrel.cz/reel )
I wish they had a separate web page with one demo, so I could see how the header looks,
and how it is initialized, and how the <img> tag looks. There must be some other scripting
that is needed, that I can't see.
Has anyone done this before?
Could someone show me a page where this is being done?

Mental Health First Aid
Just as CPR training helps non-medical professionals assist an individual following a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid (MHRA) training helps an individual who does not have clinical training to assist someone experiencing a mental health crisis. MHFA participants will learn to apply a single strategy in helping someone through a variety of situations including a panic attack, engaging with someone who may be suicidal, supporting a person experiencing psychosis and helping an individual who has overdosed. In practicing the intervention strategy, MHFA participants learn the risk factors and warning signs of specific illnesses such as anxiety, depression, psychosis and addiction; engage in experiential activities that build understanding of the impact of illness; and learn information about evidence-based treatment and support-ultimately building participants 'mental health literacy.' The goal of MHFA is to increase mental health literacy.

Indonesia's Rupiah, Bonds Decline as Europe Crisis May Worsen
Indonesia's rupiah and government bonds dropped for a second day as concern Europe's debt crisis will worsen damped demand for riskier assets.
The Jakarta Composite Index of shares fell 0.5 percent after losing 1.8 percent yesterday, the most in a month, as overseas investors sold $14 million more local stocks than they bought, according to exchange data. Moody's Investors Service revised its rating outlooks for Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg to negative on "rising uncertainty" over the credit crisis in the euro area, it said in a statement yesterday.
"The rupiah is being driven by another round of risk aversion," said Artanavaro Gasali, the Jakarta-based head of global markets at PT Bank ICBC Indonesia. "Germany is among the most stable and powerful economies in the euro area, so its downgrade definitely caused some concern."
The rupiah weakened 0.4 percent to 9,493 per dollar as of 3:36 p.m. in Jakarta, prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg show. One-month implied volatility, which measures exchange-rate swings used to price options, was steady at 8 percent.
The yield on the government's 7 percent bonds due May 2022 rose one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 5.82 percent, according to prices from the Inter Dealer Market Association. That was the highest level in a week.
Bank Indonesia received approval from the People's Bank of China to invest in the interbank Chinese bond market, according to statements from both central banks yesterday.
"Aside from diversifying its holdings, Bank Indonesia may wish to invest in yuan-denominated notes for the prospect of currency gains ahead of 2015, when the yuan will be internationalized," Gasali said.

少吃肉去避免危險的全球暖化,科學家說 Eat less meat to avoid dangerous global warming, scientists say
報告將會刊登在「美國國家科學院院刊」( Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)…
Research led by Oxford Martin School finds widespread adoption of vegetarian diet would cut food-related emissions by 63% and make people healthier too
Monday 21 March 2016 19.00 GMT
Growing food for the world's burgeoning population is likely to send greenhouse gas emissions over the threshold of safety, unless more is done to cut meat consumption, a new report has found.
A widespread switch to vegetarianism would cut emissions by nearly two-thirds, it said.
In three decades, emissions related to agriculture and food production are likely to account for about half of the world's available "carbon budget" – the limited amount of carbon dioxide and its equivalents that can be poured into the atmosphere if we are to hold global warming to no more than 2C.
While energy generation, transport and buildings have long been a target for governments, businesses and campaigners looking to reduce emissions, the impact from food production has often been left out. But on current trends, with intensive agriculture increasingly geared towards livestock rearing, food production will be a major concern.
The research, led by scientists at the Oxford Martin School, found that shifting to a mostly vegetarian diet, or even simply cutting down meat consumption to within accepted health guidelines, would make a large dent in greenhouse gases.
Adhering to health guidelines on meat consumption could cut global food-related emissions by nearly a third by 2050, the study found, while widespread adoption of a vegetarian diet would bring down emissions by 63%.
The additional benefit of going further, with the widespread adoption of veganism, brought a smaller incremental benefit, with emissions falling by about 70% in the projections.
Such steps would also save lives, argued Dr Marco Springmann, lead author of the study, entitled Analysis and valuation of the health and climate change co-benefits of dietary change, and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Tuesday.
"Imbalanced diets, such as diets low in fruits and vegetables and high in red and processed meat, are responsible for the greatest health burden globally and in most regions," he said. "At the same time, the food system is responsible [currently] for more than a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore a major driver of climate change."
More than 5m premature deaths could be avoided globally by 2050 if health guidelines on meat consumption were followed, rising to more than 7m with a vegetarian diet and 8m on veganism. These steps, if widely followed, could also reduce global healthcare costs by $1bn a year by mid-century.
Intensive livestock-rearing is a major cause of greenhouse gases, in part because of the methane produced by the animals and the massive slurry pits that accompany large farms. It also diverts water and grains to animal-rearing, which is less efficient than directing the grains towards direct human consumption.
Non-intensive rearing of livestock, such as raising animals on marginal land, could be "an interesting proposal" that would allow meat-eating at lower levels with less environmental harm, said Springmann. "That is one of the discussions that could spring up as a result of our research."
Individuals were often confused by health messaging, food labelling and the availability of foodstuffs, he added, meaning that many people do not realise the harm that over-consumption of meat may be doing them. As populations around the world have grown more prosperous, with the rise of middle class societies in areas that have emerged from poverty, people have tended to switch their diets to include more meat as they have grown richer.
Governments agreed at a landmark climate conference in Paris in December to hold global warming to no more than 2C above pre-industrial levels, with an aspiration of an even lower target, of 1.5C. However, the exact measures that will be required to meet the global goal, and nationally set emissions targets, have yet to be fully worked out.
Linking health and climate change in challenging our eating habits could have more effect than focusing on each of these issues alone, said Springmann. "By combining the two benefits, you have a more powerful impact. I think this will make more of an impression," he said.
"We do not expect everybody to become vegan. But the climate change impacts of the food system will require more than just technological changes. Adopting healthier and more environmentally sustainable diets can be a large stop in the right direction.
"The size of the projected benefits should encourage individuals, industry and policymakers to act decisively to make sure that what we eat preserves our environment and health," he said.

~ 12月5日更新~ 協助抵達希臘萊斯博斯島難民的持續旅程,部分內容如下:
~ 在11月17-19日,救援隊在希臘萊斯博斯島購買了4000個睡袋、雨衣,襪子和兒童服裝分發給抵達的難民。這些都是因冬天將至而急需的保暖物品。在沒有帳蓬又沒有熱水器的情況下,睡袋是尤其需要的。
~ 約3200難民繼續每天到達希臘的萊斯博斯島,在莫尼亞營地,以及其他聚集點和接待場所,已經遠遠超過了他們的能力。
~ 從難民口中聽取他們走難的故事,令人心碎不已。他們中許多人要步行20至30天才得到前來萊斯博斯島的船,然後不知未來是怎麼樣。…
~Updated Dec. 5~ Assisting the Continuing Journeys of Refugees Arriving in Lesbos Island, Greece
By Formosa and United Kingdom Relief Teams (Originally in English)
In response to Master's loving reminder to assist the refugees, our Association members from Belgium, Formosa and the United Kingdom formed a relief team and traveled to the island of Lesbos, Greece, to lend a hand wherever needed and provide continued support for the refugees. Thus far in our relief efforts, we have used EUR 91,373.98 of Master's funds to assist the refugees.
November 15, 2015:
On November 15, 2015, our relief team arrived on Lesbos where we visited three different refugee camps to assess the situation. About 3,000 refugees are coming to Lesbos daily and are transported to different camps by bus with the help of many NGOs. Our relief team is working with the NGOs to provide needed aid.
November 16, 2015:
On November 16, 2015, as we were driving near an area south of the island's capital, Mytilene, a local man asked us to assist a full boat of approximately 60 refugees for landing. We drove down quickly and were able to help. The refugees were very happy to land safely and were pleased to see us.
Later, we visited the transit camp in Mantamados and a camp organized by Mercy Corps in Sikamineas. Both places were very well organized. Next, we went to the northern tip of the island close to Turkey where many refugees arrive. After spotting four boats approaching the rocks, we worked with volunteers from the Youth With A Mission organization to help these boats land safely and assisted the refugees to climb up the cliff. All the refugees were very happy to arrive in a new land safely.
On the way back, we attended a meeting with some of the volunteer groups and learned warm supplies will be needed for the coming winter and the refugees' upcoming journey further north. Thus, we are currently planning the purchase of 4,000 sleeping bags and light raincoats for the refugees staying at Camp Moria, where they will be waiting for their paperwork to be processed. The remaining funds will be given to a local volunteer organization, which is responsible for receiving children, pregnant women and the most vulnerable refugees referred by doctors, to purchase a much needed van.
November 17 – 19, 2015:
On November 17-19, our relief team in Lesbos, Greece purchased 4,000 sleeping bags and raincoats, socks and children's clothing to be distributed to the arriving refugees. These warming items are desperately needed as winter is approaching. Sleeping bags are especially in high demand because some refugees do not have tents or their tents do not have heaters installed.
As approximately 3,200 refugees continue to arrive at the Greek island of Lesbos daily, the camp in Moria, as well as other assembly points and reception sites, have far exceeded their capacity. Therefore, on November 19, our relief team went to Camp Moria to help clean up the site and meet other NGO members. We collected many bags of rubbish together with other volunteers. Some refugees also joined us in cleaning. We were pleased to see the site was a lot cleaner and less crowded, with the arrival and help of more volunteers and the United Nations (UN) staff members.
Speaking to some of the refugees, it was heartrending to hear stories of their journeys here. Many of them had to walk 20 to 30 days before getting in a boat for Lesbos, and are now being faced with an uncertain future.
We also later visited the Village of All Together, an open shelter for refugees organized by Lesbos citizens, collectives and NGOs, located at a former tent-camp for kids, PIKPA. The site is now a camp for the most vulnerable among the refugees such as those who are pregnant, sick, and living with a disability. Every day, the camp provides meals for 1,000 to 2,000 people. They plan to set up a vegetarian restaurant in the busy area near the port, which will provide affordable food, and also employment opportunities for refugees. After asking what they needed, our relief team has decided to help them look for a much-needed van while we are on the island.
We were interviewed by a German TV channel, and told them of the collective relief efforts here in Lesbos, and also the importance of adopting a vegan diet to protect all life on the planet.
November 22 – 26, 2015:
On November 22, our Greece relief team, formed by Association members from Belgium, Bulgaria, Formosa, Greece and the United Kingdom, revisited Camp Moria to deliver clothes, shoes, and other supplies and found many things had improved since our last visit. The overcrowding has been greatly reduced and the camp was very clean. We came in time to help set up a temporary storage space as the strong wind had blown over the big tent for supplies.
On November 24, 5,000 refugees suddenly arrived on Lesbos. Therefore, we started buying supplies in order to distribute them at different locations. We drove up the north coast of the island at night where the refugees' boats were constantly arriving, and helped 50 passengers from one boat to come ashore. Some of the women and children were scared and shaking.
As most refugees have to go to Camp Moria to register, the next day on November 25, we loaded our car with supplies and went to this camp again to distribute the most urgently needed supplies for the new arrivals such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, backpacks and children's hats and gloves. Within two days, over a hundred sets of children's clothing, 6,000 pairs of socks and a few carloads of fruits, bread, water, sleeping bags, blankets, clothes and other daily necessities were distributed to newly arrived refugees, all with Heaven's love. Medicine San Frontiers (MSF) (Doctors Without Borders) in Idomeni offered to let us use their warehouse and sent volunteers to help us as well.
November 26 – December 1, 2015
On November 26, we completed three distributions of necessities at Camp Moria. Due to difficult weather, fewer boats arrived than on the previous night. So far Camp Moria is well-covered for now. Our order of sleeping bags will be arriving next Monday. PIKPA camp is giving us the use of their warehouse. Right now the island is looking calm again, but things can change suddenly. We never know when new boats will arrive. Let's pray to God the refugees have a safe passage.
On November 27, our relief team in Lesbos, Greece went to the port in the capital, Mytilene, where some refugees were waiting for a ferry to mainland Greece, and distributed fruits and Arabic versions of Alternative Living flyers. The area was clean and well-managed. We were pleased to hear that the police prepared an extra boat in case there was not enough room on the ferry for all the refugees. Another volunteer group was giving breakfast to the refugees. Many refugees read the flyers while waiting in a queue. A young man from Pakistan told us if it were not for God, he would have died five times already!
Afterwards, we visited Kara Tepe, a transit camp near Mytilene, where we learned from a UN official that there were enough sleeping bags in stock for the winter. At Camp Moria, we were relieved to see that the Red Cross staff was handing out arrival packs containing warm clothing and blankets to the 500 newly arrived refugees, and that there were enough tents for them as well.
The next couple of days, there were not many refugees arriving due to heavy rainfall. We went to Camp Moria to check out the situation. During the visits, we met Mr. Sotirios Petrakis, an island resident with a heart of gold. He has devoted a lot of time and effort to help the refugees since the beginning, and he kept reminding people that it is a lesson of love for the whole world. He happily received a copy of Master's The Key of Immediate Enlightenment Sample Booklet.
On November 30, we went to PIKPA camp to wait for the delivery of the sleeping bags we ordered. We brought some biscuits and candy, to the delight of the children. We gave a copy of Master's The Key of Immediate Enlightenment Sample Booklet and From Crisis to Peace – The Organic Vegan Way Is the Answer to the camp's financial administrator. He is also running a school called Second Chance, teaching languages to adults. We met a volunteer psychologist named Lafy from Jerusalem, who encourages refugees' children to express their feelings, experiences and what they want to achieve in the future.
Within an hour after we received the sleeping bags, we delivered 200 to Camp Moria where they were urgently needed for the arrival of new refugees. The conditions in the camp have improved. At the new children's art place at the camp, we became friends with Shah, an Iranian volunteer from London who enjoys working with the children, and also works as a translator in the camp. We also plan to send 3,000 sleeping bags to Idomeni, where thousands of refugees wait at the border between Greece and Macedonia, and we will join the Austria relief team to distribute them.
On December 1, back at the port of Mytilene, the weather was getting cold as night fell, and more and more refugees were gathered to wait for the ferry. We attempted to lighten the mood by sharing pieces of chocolate with everyone. They were surprised and started to smile upon receiving the unexpected treat.

I bought these rain boots for my EXTREEMLY messy 3 year old. They are GREAT! He can slip them on and off fast without any help. The little loops at the top are great. At first I thought that they needed a liner, then after what he put them through, I am glad that they do not have any lining! The boots go throught it all and look new. He wears them almost daily. He seems to find mud on a daily basis. I would buy these boots again and again!
snow, mud, rain, everything! I bought these for my 7 year old boy and he has worn these EVERYDAY for the last 3 weeks and they still look great! A lot of times, rubber boots = stinky feet, but these seem to allow enough air from the top to prevent that! For 10 bucks, these are an EXCELLENT buy!
My son loves his "fireman boots." Everyday he wants to play outside and wear them! Great for the price. Perfect for outside and hosing off when finished playing. No more washing tennis shoes everytime they play outside!
My kids just love running through puddles and mud in these boots! I bought them especially for this reason. Just rinse them off for a very easy cleanup! Love these boots ........highly recommend for any child!
product is very stylish for both boy or girl. I like the fact that it
has the hooks at the top of the rain boot for the child to be able to
slip into them easier. Some rain boots don't have that.
My 4 year old grandson loves these boots. He has not wore any of his other shoes since he got them on Christmas. He calls them his fireman boots.
Great boots for my 3 year old to just slip on real fast. He loves them and it makes my job easier when trying to get him ready to go.
These boots are so cute. They fit great and my son loves splashing around in them. He wears them when it is not raining too!
My 3 1/2 year old boy loves wearing these to splash in the water. They also make do in the snow when in a hurry.
I purchased this boot 1/2 size bigger...fits great on my son....Good even in the snow

Good News Everyone!
This is the second part of the tied poll. I accidentally put the second book of a series in the poll, so we will be reading the first book of that series, Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. See the links below to learn more about the book.
We will be meeting at Comicazi on Highland Ave in Davis Square. There is metered parking all along Highland as well as a public lot on Day Street near Redbones and across the street from Orleans restaurant. There is also T access and bus connections.
See you there!
Saturn's Children by Charles Stross on Amazon, B&N, or through the Minuteman Library system. Learn about it on Goodreads.
Short story that falls in between Saturn's Children and Neptune's Brood. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2013/06/short-story-bit-rot.html

Stuff I particularly liked: (spoilers!)
A fairly novel take on creating AI/robots, and more detailed than David Brin's "Lungfish", which also used the "raise them like children" approach. (Also more depressing, because Stross.) Details including instars, soul chips, hotel sexuality (given the hotel brain being based on humans), abusive conditioning, and the lack thereof for outer system xenomorphs.
Pretty plausible space travel, showing how expensive it realistically is even for much better adapted robots, let alone the quixoticness of humans in space. This is what space looks like without magic physics.
Solar system wackiness, from Venus dirigibles to Mercury's city-train to Erisian biospheres (and the heat pollution from all those fusion plants).
The basic story premise of human resurrection was interesting. The story details somewhat more meh, I got tired of killer chibis. But for me in general, Stross writes interesting books, not favorite books.

Nick Smith denies bullying Fish and Game
Related Links
Relevant offers
Conservation Minister Nick Smith has rejected allegations of political interference, but may "tweak" the legislation which governs Fish and Game if he stays on as minister after the coming election.
Smith said he was considering legal action against Association of Freshwater Anglers president David Haynes, who made the allegations.
Haynes said Smith had been highly critical of Fish & Game at a Fish & Game Council meeting in Wellington this month.
"Nick Smith is very good at talking at and over people," Haynes told Morning Report.
"He was wading into them and they sat very quietly and listened to what he was saying.
"From my perspective they [Fish & Game] were very clearly being castigated, it could be construed as political interference - this was about telling Fish & Game to wind their neck in."
The allegations were centred on a series of billboards that called for greater protections to keep rivers and lakes clean.
Smith today released a page of handwritten notes taken throughout the meeting by the official from the Department of Conservation's head office responsible for Fish & Game.
The document painted a "very different" account to Haynes' version, and came from an impartial observer, Smith said.
Fish & Game is an independent organisation. It collects its funding through fees for fishing and hunting licences.
It has statutory obligations to oversee fish and game management and ensure effective management of the country's sports fish and game resources.
Smith vehemently denied any political interference.
Reports that he told Fish & Game it was "standing in the way of the Government's economic agenda" were untrue, Smith said.
"Mr Haynes is a longtime critic of me as conservation minister, most recently over 1080. He is not neutral and his deliberate misrepresentation of the meeting is driven by politics and the election season.
"I am taking legal advice over his statements. I have been a long-term advocate for improving New Zealand's water quality, including putting in place New Zealand's first National Policy Statement on Freshwater, and I find his statements offensive and defamatory."
Smith said he had said that "Fish & Game does need to engage with industries like agriculture and irrigation through the collaborative process to get the best outcomes for freshwater quality".
"While it was absolutely right for them to advocate for freshwater, I do think they got into the space sometimes of being anti-New Zealand's most important industry, that being the dairy industry."
Some people in the group had an agenda to misrepresent the Government's agenda, Smith said.
Labour's conservation spokeswoman Ruth Dyson said Smith had "overstepped the mark" as minister.
"You would have thought he would have learned from the Bronwyn Pullar ACC debacle where he intervened in his own department to lobby for a friend," Dyson said.
"Instead, as soon as he returned as a minister he was gagging his Conservation Department's concerns over the Ruataniwha Dam," she said.
"He has now threatened to change the mandate of Fish & Game because of its advocacy for clean rivers."
It was "straight-out intimidation", Dyson said.
