Evidence of technetium and iodine release from a sodalite-bearing ceramic waste form
We proposed sodalites as a possible host of certain radioactive species, specifically 99Tc and 129I, which may be encapsulated into the cage structure of the mineral. To demonstrate the ability of this framework silicate mineral to encapsulate and immobilize 99Tc and 129I, single-pass flow-through (SPFT) tests were conducted on a sodalite-bearing multi-phase ceramic waste form produced through a steam reforming process. We produced two samples made using a steam reformer samples using nonradioactive I and Re (as a surrogate for Tc), while a third sample was produced using actual radioactive tank waste containing Tc and added Re. One of the non-radioactive samples was produced with an engineering-scale steam reformer while the other non-radioactive sample and the radioactive sample were produced using a bench-scale steam reformer. For all three steam reformer products, the similar steady-state dilute-solution release rates for Re, I, and Tc at pH (25 C) 9 and 40 C were measured. However, it was found that the Re, I, and Tc releases were equal or up to 4.5x higher compared to the release rates of the network-forming elements, Na, Al, and Si. Moreover, the similar releases of Re and Tc in the SPFT test, and the similar time-dependent shapesmore »

More homes, communities, and businesses in every corner of the world are adopting solar power as an affordable source of green energy. Why? Because solar is a sensible choice. Compared with other renewables, solar enjoys greater ease of deployment and maintenance as well as a faster payback.
However, in a fiercely competitive market, solar product manufacturers regularly succumb to consolidation or insolvency. At best, their customers are left holding warranties void of value; at worst, energy production is interrupted by the discontinuation of spare parts and technical support.
These costly setbacks are foreseeable. And avoidable.
Bankability: a critical success factor
To secure the success and long-term viability of any solar project, every investor must assess the bankability of their solar supplier.
What is bankability?
"Bankability translates to peace of mind, for the entire lifetime of the installation regardless of application or size," explains Laurent Bataille, SVP of Solar Business at Schneider Electric.
In the solar industry, bankability is a key indicator of the supplier's trustworthiness and its long-term commitment to green energy. In essence, bankability has four components:
The power of true bankability
What does bankability mean for customers and their solar projects? In practice, the four components of bankability come together to make solar energy a smart, sustainable investment.
At the installation and commissioning stages, reliable and fully integrated balance-of-system solutions from an experienced supplier allow efficient and cost-effective deployment.
Once the system is up and running, the field-proven solutions in tandem with monitoring and control, help to maximize energy harvest and optimize the return on investment.
In the long run, investors can count on a financially stable solar partner to honor warranties and provide technical support through a global service network.
"Schneider Electric is uniquely positioned to offer true bankability, for the long term. We continuously demonstrate our commitment to the solar industry through the launch of innovative products and solutions," says Bataille. "Thanks to our industry-leading expertise in energy management, our global operations teams and service engineers have unrivaled skills and resources to help clients achieve a higher and more secure return on investment."

'We are so pleased that the success delivered in the United States with our patented ECOBOND® LBP lead paint removal technology is now being expanded to the global market,' stated James Barthel, President and creator of ECOBOND®
Arvada, CO (PRWEB) December 04, 2014
It is estimated that there are more than 1 million workers in over 100 different occupations that may be exposed to lead poisoning. The devastating effects of lead poisoning including mental impairment, reproductive damage, and even death are well known and preventable. In the US, agencies such as the USEPA, OSHA, NIOSH, and the CDC have launched major campaigns to educate and enforce lead poisoning prevention.
This concern is shared internationally as well. This month, a leading Panama environmental consulting and engineering firm, JAP Ingenieros Consultores Asociados (JAP), selected ECOBOND® LBP for assistance on a recent demolition project in Central America. The project is near the historic Panama Canal and because of the presence of lead on various structures, great care needed to be followed in selecting a lead paint treatment product.
JAP selected ECOBOND® LBP because of its ability to seal and treat lead dust and lead in lead paint thereby protecting workers from lead poisoning by sealing the lead dust and reducing airborne lead up to 99%. By also treating the lead, ECOBOND® LBP protected the sensitive environment and rendered lead-impacted demolition waste as non-hazardous for disposal in compliance with canal port authorities.
"We are so pleased that the success delivered in the United States with our patented ECOBOND® LBP lead paint removal technology is now being expanded to the global market to eradicate the harmful effects of lead paint hazards," stated James Barthel, President and creator of ECOBOND® LBP. "Not only does ECOBOND® LBP workers from lead poisoning, but it also contributes to a reduced environmental footprint of lead and lead waste, it is associated with tremendous cost savings, and time management during most lead paint remediation projects," continued Barthel.
ECOBOND® LBP, LLC is the nation's leader in developing and distributing products that improve the protection of human health and safety from the hazards of lead in the home, workplace, and the environment. With over 14 years of proven success, the ECOBOND® family of products has been extensively used throughout the US and internationally in successfully treating lead hazards in over 11,000,000 tons of material.

HTC was among the initial batch of Android Wear partners announced by Google earlier this year, but so far we've yet to see any images of HTC's device or get any spec details about it. That's changing today, as a render has surfaced that claims to give a preview of what the HTC wearable will look like.
@evleaks today posted an "artist reproduction" of HTC's Android Wear device, showing a smartwatch with a square face and a metal band. It's worth noting that the screen is not accurate and just for fun, the hardware shown in this render is said to be a "100% faithful reproduction."
Considering HTC's history of creating quality Android hardware like the One (M7) and One (M8), there's understandably a lot of hype surrounding HTC's impending Android Wear device. The unit shown in this render doesn't appear to have any super amazing features or anything like that, but since this is just a reproduction, it's probably not a bad idea to hold off on making any judgments on HTC's smartwatch until we get a look at the real deal.
What features do you hope to see included in HTC's Android Wear device?

Martha Washington was raised on a large plantation near Williamsburg, Virginia. Martha met George Washington a year after the death of her first husband, Daniel Custis. Martha and George married in 1759 and made their home at Mount Vernon, just outside Alexandria, Virginia.
Their life together was disrupted when George was asked to lead the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War. During the war, Martha did not get to see George as often as she wished. However, during the months that the army stayed in winter quarters, Martha would go to camp and stay with her husband. She did this every year for eight years.
While Martha was at the army camps, she did many things to help her husband and his troops. She helped with sewing, rolling bandages, organizing other women to help, and encouraging the soldiers. Martha was at Valley Forge in the hard winter of 1777–78. She stayed with General Washington and his army in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Martha Washington was a very brave woman who did not mind helping in the army camps during difficult times.
Sybil Ludington
Many people have heard of Paul Revere's ride to warn the people that the British were coming. He became famous that night. In Putnam County, New York, there was another rider who did not become as famous as Paul Revere but was just as brave!
At the age of sixteen, Sybil Ludington was the oldest of twelve children and no stranger to hard work. On the night of April 26, 1777, Sybil was helping her brothers and sisters to bed when there was a loud knock at the door. An exhausted messenger had come to tell Sybil's father, Colonel Henry Ludington, that the British were looting and burning the town of Danbury, Connecticut. The residents of Danbury needed help and someone needed to ride throughout the area to let her father's minutemen know they were needed to gather (muster) for the fight.
Sybil volunteered for the dangerous mission. She took her horse, Star, and rode forty miles through the countryside on a moonless night, shouting "The British are burning Danbury . . . muster at Ludington's." Her mission was a success. By the time she rode home, most of her father's four hundred soldiers were ready to march to Danbury. After the battle, Sybil was congratulated by her friends and neighbors. Even George Washington thanked her!
Deborah Sampson Gannett
In 1782 Deborah Sampson exchanged her dress for men's clothing and enlisted in the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment of the Continental Army. She used the name Robert Shutleff. Deborah was strong and tall enough to look like a man. She was able to fool everyone. They thought she didn't have to shave because she was a very young man.
Deborah's unit was sent to West Point, New York, and she was wounded in a battle nearby. She was taken to a hospital to be treated but snuck out so that she would not be discovered to be a woman. She operated on herself and took a musket ball out of her thigh. When she recovered from her wound, she went back to her regiment.
The next time Deborah was wounded, her doctor found out she was a woman and arranged for her to be discharged from the Continental Army in November of 1783. Due to her wounds, Deborah received a military pension from the United States of America. Later, in 1838, Congress passed a special act granting a pension to her heirs.

I have this problem i like to share with you all, God i wish i could be an intellectual. You sit in grass with a glass of red wine in your hand, not like my friend who drink beer as fast as they can. You're so smart, you like art, you read the books i would never understand. I'm not that smart, I like to fart a teenage punk is what i am. Your life seems like such a joy to me, 'Cause you see art where i cannot be. Friends must be so easy for you to find, they don't have to be nice, just have an interesting mind. So now i stop riding my skate and be like tou a real fake. I don't have to care at all, 'Cause now i'm a intellectual.

Bohemia, N.Y. (PRWEB) January 14, 2013
On January 14, Online Bed Quilt commented on an article published by the Los Angeles Times with regard to a new study which points out how sleep training can get your baby to sleep more.
According to the Los Angeles Times article, Los Angeles is one of cities noted for pediatric health care. However, most doctors don't recommend or discuss sleep training for babies. The article said a new study from Australia found there is now long term emotional or health disadvantages if you decide to sleep train your baby.
Sleep training is a process parents use to teach their baby when to go to sleep and when to wake up. Though some babies may fall asleep fairly easily, others have trouble and may stay awake crying for long periods.
The study, published in the September issue of Pediatrics measured the levels of stress hormone cortisol in babies' brains, which is thought to rise when babies cry. It found that infants who were left to cry weren't any more stressed out than babies who were continuously comforted by parents.
In the article, Santa Monica-based pediatrician Jay Gordon said no one, parents or children, really sleeps through the night. "What I tell people is to wrap your life around a baby rather than trying to adjust a baby to your life," Gordon said. "Let everything happen as naturally as it possibly can. There are age-appropriate times for a child to learn to sleep in a way that makes more sense for preschool and a family. But mindless sleep-training, a one-size-fits-all approach can be somewhat dangerous."
The article offered some tips on how to sleep train your child, such as co-sleeping. The article also advised to practice waking the baby and letting it fall asleep by itself or picking it up and putting it down.
However, Justin Maas, a representative from mattress company Online Bed Quilt said even babies need good mattresses. "Though babies are small and normally sleep in a crib, it's still important to find the best mattress for them," Maas said. "Their bodies, spines and brains are still developing, so providing them with a very firm, but comfortable mattress is key. That should really help babies sleep, especially since they're not even supposed to sleep with pillows."
Online Bed Quilt is here to make sure you get a great night's sleep. We are a family-owned bedding and furniture review company dedicated to helping you find the best mattress and sleep accessories. We collect and share product information, reviews, and the best and latest available sleep solutions.

Is 'The Golden Compass' in Box-Office Trouble?
We're no Paul Dergarabedian, but we know that 85 percent is less than 100 percent.
Buried deep in Variety's box-office roundup this morning — amid the usual stuff about Enchanted making another boatload of money — is some dire news for New Line, and for those of us crossing our fingers that The Golden Compass will be successful enough to spawn films of the other two books in Philip Pullman's trilogy:
New Line Cinema sneaked big-budget fantasy "The Golden Compass" in 873 theaters Saturday. Studio reported that shows were at 85% capacity. In holding the sneaks, New Line was looking to boost interest in the film, which has been lagging in tracking, although awareness is high. "Compass" cost $180 million to produce.
Now, we're no Paul Dergarabedian, so we don't exactly know what "lagging in tracking" means. But we do know that 85 percent is less than 100 percent, and we really would have expected that any sneak preview of The Golden Compass would be, y'know, 100 percent full. Like, remember back when Lord of the Rings was coming out? Could you imagine if they'd had a sneak preview of that a week before it opened? It would have played at 218 percent capacity, and hundreds would have been injured in the ticket-line riots.

Genetic testing firm airs TV spot as part of $5M ad buy
Personal genetics firm 23andMe aired its first TV ad Monday in a bid to build the audience for DNA sequencing.
The spot is part of a multi-channel campaign, called "Portraits of Health," featuring national TV, radio and digital elements. The TV campaign begins with a national buy, mostly through cable networks, and the company said it expects to spend up to $5 million in 2013 with additional investment planned for 2014.
Havas' Arnold Worldwide created the campaign. Production company Buck directed and animated the :60 TV spots.
The consumer work is a first for the company, which recently set a goal of reaching a million customers by the end of this year. It also "pioneers advertising for the direct-to-consumer genetic testing industry," said 23andMe's president, Andy Page, in a statement today.The effort is designed to educate the general public about how understanding their DNA can help them make more informed and proactive health decisions. According to Page, it's also meant to help patients see 23andMe as a brand they can trust.
Earlier testing firms Navigenics and deCODEme were both bought by bigger companies that subsequently shut down the firms' direct-to-patient testing services.
Neil Rothstein, 23andMe's VP of marketing, said the company tested a variety of media channels and that "TV is still the best way to reach [a] mass group of people." The :60 spots, he added, offer "a lot of time for us to tell our story and for people to get a sense for our company and brand."
Breeding familiarity with the brand is key. "The reality is, even if you walk [through] downtown Mountain View [California, where 23andMe is based], not many people have heard of 23andMe, and that's in our backyard," said Rothstein.
As to why that is, Rothstein, who joined the firm in September from Netflix, said the company has spent the past seven years or so on the science. "Only recently have we focused on growing the customer base," which stands at 350,000 now.
In an effort to spur growth, 23andMe recently lowered the price of its test kit to $99, closed a new round of funding, and hired Page as president.
In the 23andMe commercial, clipped phrases are dubbed together to form running conversations, not unlike the bigger picture formed by individual genes: "This is me," says one actor. "My DNA," another quickly adds. "It helps make me who I am," chimes in a third.
23andMe stresses that the actors are speaking about their own test results. Knowing these results—and the risk for things like heart disease and arthritis—can lead to better preventive healthcare, the spot explains.
Who's the target audience? It's really not [aimed at] a specific demo," said Rothstein. "It's focusing on those who have this mindset and this way of thinking: They want to be proactive and be in greater control of their health. Those are who we want to target."

Anderson's son Jamie said his father died peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday at a nursing home near Oxfordshire, England, after being diagnosed with mixed dementia two years ago.
His condition had worsened dramatically over the past six months, his son said.
Anderson's television career launched in the 1950s. Once "Thunderbirds" aired in the 1960s, "Thunderbirds are go!" became a catchphrase for generations. It also introduced the use of "supermarionation" _ a puppetry technique using thin wires to control marionettes _ and made sci-fi mainstream, according to Jamie Anderson.
He said the TV show was perhaps his father's proudest achievement _ along with the cross-generational appeal of his body of work, which also included TV shows "Stingray" and "Space: 1999," among others.
Most recently, Anderson worked as a consultant on a Hollywood remake of his 1969 series "UFO."
In recent years, Anderson and his son had become active supporters of Britain's Alzheimer's Society.
Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of society, said Anderson tirelessly attended events to raise awareness and raise money for a cure.
Anderson is survived by his wife, Mary, and four children.

No relaxation on IPL policy - Morris
Hugh Morris, England's managing director, has confirmed that the ECB has no intention of relaxing its attitude towards the participation of England players in the IPL as it guards the status of its own Test programme in ongoing contractual negotiations for the country's top players.
Negotiations have begun on England's revised central contracts which will become operational in September and any pressure from players' representatives to relax attitudes about England players competing in IPL in preference to the opening Test of ther summer will be resisted.
Morris has restated that the policy to protect the English Test season will continue. "It's critical if England are playing international cricket that our best players are available," Morris told The Independent. "The principle of players being available to play for England first and foremost has got to be central."
As the player auction for the 2013 IPL season approaches, a small handful of England players will be in with a chance of competing for a contract. But interest from the franchises is not likely to rise if England players can only make appearances for part of the tournament.
Kevin Pietersen and Eoin Morgan already have deals with IPL sides, while Matt Prior, Monty Panesar and Ravi Bopara have been given permission to appear in the auction. Of those, only Pietersen is a regular in all three international formats and England players expected to be involved in the first Test of the summer against New Zealand, which begins on May 16, will be required to curtail their IPL stay in order to be available for one county match beforehand.
The IPL, which this year goes on until May 26, cuts deep into the England international season, which tradionally begins with a short Test series in mid-May. Nottinghamshire have also become the first English county to refuse its players permision to partake in IPL to protect a county season which starts in the second week of April, a decision which will leave the best county players looking more closely at their contracts in future.
Very few England players have featured in the IPL, which runs for six-seven weeks from early April, since its inaugural season in 2008. Pietersen and Morgan have both had stints of varying success, while Stuart Broad was contracted to Kings XI Punjab for two seasons without making an appearance, before he was released last year. Several county players, such as Essex's Owais Shah and Ryan ten Doeschate and Sussex's Luke Wright, also have IPL deals.
The England players' body, the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA), has called for the ICC and BCCI to negotiate a window for the IPL, which would minimise its disruption, but the BCCI has no appetite for this, confident that it can run the tournament whenever it likes, and for as long as it likes, and still attract enough world-class players to make the it highly successful.
West Indies toured England with an under-strength Test side in 2012, due to players' lucrative IPL commitments, and the same situation may yet affect New Zealand this year. An agreement between West Indies and Sri Lanka has seen their 2013 Test series, scheduled for May, dropped in favour of a limited-overs tri-tournament with India later in the year.

One hundred years ago today, on March 18, 1912, two men dressed in black crossed the Seine in Paris to pay a call on their younger brother, an artist who lived alone in his studio on Rue Amiral-de-Joinville. Half a century later, the artist would vividly remember the dark clothes his brothers had worn that day, as if they had come to challenge him to a duel.
The visit, it seems, was brief. Once his brothers had departed, the artist locked up the house and took a taxi by himself to the Quai d'Orsay, where the Salon des Independants was scheduled to begin later that week. Upon his arrival, he retrieved a painting that he had entered into the exhibition, carried it out to the taxi and took it home. And in doing so, he changed the course of art history.
The artist was Marcel Duchamp, who was not yet 25. As for the painting, it was an oil on canvas, about 5 feet by 3 feet, or large enough that he would have had some trouble getting it into the taxi. He had painted it two months earlier, as a more fully realized version of a subject that he had attempted the previous year: the abstract image of what seems to be a nude human figure, or a series of outlines of the figure, walking down a flight of stairs.

The groups of citizen soldiers who stood ready to fight the British were called militias. Militias consisted of part-time citizen soldiers that maintained law and order in the colonies.Continue Reading
A militia was not considered a professional military force, but militiamen did play a vital role in the Revolutionary War. Many served as guards at prisoner-of-war camps, while others provided protection from Indians on the frontier. Some tasks were as simple as herding cattle and gathering provisions. While militiamen rarely saw action on the battlefield, over 3,000 accompanied Governor Thomas Nelson at the Siege of Yorktown, Virginia in October of 1781.Learn more about US History

The concept of Wilderness
The concept of Wilderness,
a new need for conservation
areas and natural resources.
"The wilderness is both a geographical condition
that a state of mind "
The preservation of a wilderness for its intrinsic value
"In every place we would like a place, well, left uncultivated" (Cesare Pavese).
"The protection of a natural area can certainly have many roles, many purposes, but I think only one has to be the purpose for which it is to be implemented to preserve the land for its own sake"
(Franco Zunino).
Before civilized man did his "appearance" on the ground all over the world was "wilderness", a vast wilderness area, where reigned the natural truth. Then came the civilized man and little by little, he removed himself to the world and the harmony and unpredictable "chaotic" nature of which was the spirit of life. Aldo Leopold wrote (1949): "The wilderness is a resource that may decrease but never increase. The destruction may be blocked or limited in such a way as to make an area more accessible for recreation, or science, or wildlife, but the creation of new wilderness in the true sense of the word is impossible. It follows, then, that any conservation program covering the Wilderness is a defensive action, by which the degradation can be reduced to a minimum ....
The ability to understand the cultural value of wilderness is becoming ultimately a question of intellectual humility. The presumptuous thought of modern man has separated himself from his roots with the earth, and claim to have already discovered what is important: it is those who prattle of empires, political or economic, that will back thousands of years ....".
But let us explain what is the essence of the "concept of wilderness," see why he should be considered a true philosophy from which it generates thought protectionist and, more generally, the very conception of life. Quote in full the praiseworthy words of founder Franco Zunino, as mentioned, the Italian Association for the Wilderness.
"Social development is altering evolving every corner of our land, and also truly wild areas left to chance or such as up to date with no economic interest or can not be used for this purpose, are now being affected every day by new initiatives against them, without ever altering their economic justification to be considered in the second to spiritual, defining these, for brevity, all those things anywhere in the world that you protect the environment.
The few areas without roads and modern buildings remaining are considered to be 'conquered' by civilization, and the offices responsible for planning and its use will plan new forms of exploitation instead of preserving them in their natural state as ecological rarities which they are , as well as Eden to the emotional needs of the individual. No one seems to be more local in social love their land, the landscape in which it was born! Even the recreational use of the environment by citizens is proving to be, especially in National Parks, a last frontier of human achievement, as excessive use of this effect is likely to become more subtle and insidious damage, less striking a street or a residence, less annoying hunting on moral grounds, but as damaging and deteriorating because of all the physical and psychic is contained in the definition of wilderness, that is, 'Wilderness' as is understood in the culture Anglo-Saxon.
Wilderness is a term that may sound obscure to the layman, but whose intrinsic meaning goes far beyond its literal translation, it defines in fact even the dictates of a specific philosophy, which arose out of human needs and enjoyment in emotional contact with the wildlife and conservation of those natural areas where these needs can be expressed.
The 'Concept of Wilderness' is nothing but the definition of this philosophy, a philosophy that sees the relationship between man and nature, a nature that emphasizes mutual respect in cases of conflict of interest, a philosophy whose basis is really the' idea of giving body to environmental assets to leave to posterity, by investing our generations of their responsibility in this sense, that is now to decide the maximum limit beyond which the man and his suggestions do not have to go, to leave a permanent spacethe nature and its wild creatures.
....... We have to prepare public opinion today and tomorrow to understand the spiritual need of our and future generations to enjoy by just knowing that there are still far away places, in the sense of large and wild, places where nature is left to itself as the dawn of life on earth, and guarantees long-term preservation of their evolution in time and take them away from civilization ........
The nature protection associations have too often ignored the needs related to the purely spiritual relationship between man and nature, and so those impacts on human nature by which, while satisfying the needs of social development purely material or purely physical recreation, prevent its their expression, they have underestimated the economic potential destructive force of the spiral of our civilization in its most insidious nuances, as well as those of human needs as an individual. More than a few times that these associations have expressed consensus in favor of certain activities, too superficial or believed necessary educational and therefore compatible with the reasons of conservation, as developed by those who manage protected areas or disseminated and promoted with the aim of improving the relationship with the nature of who actually designed to indirect economic interests (eg camping, hiking, hunting photographic tricks of wildlife management, when realizations of shelters, roads and other structures 'essential'), which are seen in a different in fact the embryo of failures that undermine just what is the 'Concept of Wilderness'. For a lack of foresight, we run the risk of being protectionist us that in the most delicate cases triggered, without power of control, dammed difficult processes a day (and teaches the history of conservation, for those who want to learn!), Aided by the collaboration in this compact the media, for the most favorable economic discourses behind the ever new justifications that allow all''effetto man 'of incandescent kern deeper and deeper in natural environments.
There will come a day when visiting parks need to be programmed, and will be limited to devices to enjoy nature with the inevitable facilities, today more than ever in vogue (and behind which is always the economic spiral): this step trivialize even the most wild, remote and inaccessible of the earth!
Some natural areas are saved only because they have the right to continue to persist over time as they reached us, modified only by the slow evolution of the forces of nature or the primitive man, and then not because they are 'used' by men today as centers of economic production or recreational outlet, ie, in the strict sense of the material. They must exist for themselves instead, nature is to be saved in these areas only for wild fauna and flora, you need to be developed in complete harmony. In these places the man must be to precise limits, beyond which in principle not to allow further and more every slightest action modifier or artificial creations, and must then have the strength and the will to pull back even as a visitor as soon as its presence tends to change the physical, psychological or even what the visitor, which must always enjoy the feeling of loneliness of a relationship with the wilderness.
Of course, this is a difficult choice, but it is the only serious alternative to oppose the fearsome man-made landscape that surrounds us every day and vandalized the natural environment we do when we become tourists or summer Sunday ........ it is time to make this choice of 'use-no use' for the wildest ....... If we do not now due to lack of political courage will be too late for future generations. Anything else we wanted to take them or even physical protection of spiritual values that they, as well, and are enclosed, which will only be a stopgap measure to prevent our generations the responsibility of a choice that is difficult and unpopular knows ..... "
Thoreau said that "in wilderness is the salvation of the world," and said he was convinced that a wild nature helps to know ourselves better, to improve and enhance the society in which we live. The very thought that an area can remain wilderness, wild or "forever", freeing themselves from the presence of man conqueror and subjugated, profoundly affects the sensitivity of a person who has his own spiritual life. As noted above, the concept of Wilderness not only the physical space of an area but also concerns the emotion from which the inner man, alone in front of the wilderness, can be taken. The philosophy of wilderness can then be summarized in one sentence, "The wilderness is both a geographical condition that a state of mind."
Writes Salvatore Veca (1986): "Nature is not a pseudo-person to which humans are responsible for: we are against it for the simple fact that our actions lead to alterations in the biosphere and we can not, or rather, We should no longer be the predators of the biosphere. Obviously, we are part of nature, without having full control of it (we are not responsible for its existence), and yet differ in some essential aspects from other constituents of nature. Unlike other species, it seems that we can change - better or worse - the effects of our actions on nature: this creates a moral responsibility, causal responsibility ....".
As a corollary to that observed on the protection of nature according to the philosophy of wilderness, let us formulate a provocative reflection type: if someone proposed to destroy a great work of art, a museum or a precious Romanesque church would certainly be considered a crazy, but paradoxically it is not considered a fool who decides to destroy ancient woodland to pass a highway or build a sports complex of high mountains, with all the environmental damage that the works involved.
The man was therefore the responsibility to provide for nature conservation because it is the man who destroys it and so is his duty to defend it, unless you want to be thought of as one component of dialectical materialism, which would be given the task of completely subverting the natural environment: this could only be ironic essence of philosophy anthropocentric.
Gary Snyder (1992) masterfully writes: "Thoreau said, 'Give me a wildness no civilization can endure' (Give me a wild world that no civilization can tolerate). Such a thing is not difficult to conceive. It is more difficult to imagine a civilization that the world can tolerate wild. Yet this is precisely what we must try to do. Wildness is not just save the world; wildness is the world. For a long time, Eastern and Western civilizations are on a collision course with the wild and in particular the industrialized countries now have the insane power to destroy not only individual creatures, but whole species, whole processes of the earth. We need a civilization capable of living fully and creatively with the world's wild, be wild with the ..... The wilderness is a place where the wild potential is fully expressed, where a variety of beings, living or not, manifest themselves according to their internal order .....Wilderness means wholeness, entirety. Humans emerge from that totality, and the idea to reaffirm our participation in the assembly of all beings is not a regressive thinking. "
Zunino again writes: ".... who feels the desire for a different relationship with the environment, more tied to the needs of inner beauty and solitude, reflection, enjoyment of beauty, moments of life and the evolving nature more easily understand the need for greater respect, understand that the rights of nature, must have first place and that man is always ready to pull back to visit soon become obvious signs of change that his presence brings, ranging from environmental degradation to the disturbance of wildlife, the loss of certain states of peace and solitude (which are right before our fauna); therefore also ready to give up to nature when it is the case.
Instead, the majority of those who love nature, fauna, flora, and they enjoy physical recreation through it (naturalists, mountain climbers, hikers, hunters, etc..) Rarely pose problems compared to renunciation of one's pleasures to your needs ......... In fact, every category of users to pose natural limits should resign, because there are users and users of dangerous good, and the restriction of freedom all right that allows the compromise to ensure the ability of nature to perpetuate itself in its freedom, because while they are adaptable to our needs, most of the time they are not those of nature .......' Needless to love the Earth, not the pleasures they derive through the use '. E ', unfortunately, almost always the opposite for the vast majority of adherents to the various interest groups, the hunter dall'ornitologo ....".
Zunino wrote again and complete the speech: "The Wilderness Concept is the hypothetical invisible barrier against insurmountable, but the pressures of economic need, and then development of human society, man placed himself in defense of nature, or better to guarantee the its perpetuity. In practice a deliberate renunciation of rights to ensure those of nature. This barrier has been codified for the first time ever in 1964 with a special act of Congress. The areas delimited by this legislative barrier are forever and on principle protected against any proposed amendment to their state of the environment.
Time is now time to begin seriously to fight for the world this concept is applied conservation.
Salvage of the last wilderness on Earth is a priority deferrable, we have too many examples of wild places lost in a few years because they were considered large or resistant to the absence or scarcity of resources or the difficulties of operating profitable businesses. And 'instead because it did not take the slow erosion of land to the great wilderness has evolved with a dramatic exponential growth (the Amazon is the most current) as a result of socio-economic developments unthinkable just a few years ago, and so is for natural resources was discovered in unexpected places, resources, quality and quantity, whose application has reached the summit on world markets (oil, uranium, gas, etc..): and here teaches Antarctica, considered a land barren and desolate and now discovered as an inexhaustible mine of wealth for the whole world! It 'so are the places deemed inaccessible to the technical difficulties to be open pathways: engineering sciences in the last decade have practically solved every technical problem: it is now only a matter of money. If you want to reach civilization by means of roads, dams and buildings of every kind there is no natural barrier that is able to stop or contain the will of man colonizing.
For such a state of things, all based on profit, only one school of thought can oppose effectively. The desire to destroy using colonizing or you can fight only with the opposite intention: to preserve. No utilitarian belief can never take the place in the inner need and moral obligation to preserve something that we love because we feel intimately as our favorite corner from our house.Until you convince us that keeping a place or a region is how to ensure that outsiders respect our material properties (who does not rebel to those who smear the house or the car?), We do not get no law, no action lasting environmental protection: Always accept compromises, compromises that we would consider unacceptable if they were to cover our material possessions. And this is not right. It means that we have not yet reached a social conscience that makes us feel what we all. That is, we will continue to consider what it is all as if it were not for anyone or in any case never ours.
And 'for these reasons rather than serious and lasting ties every day we continue to call on the political establishment of new parks and protected areas just for the satisfaction of these definitions to stamp cartographically limited areas but which have little or Park Reserve and of the nature, accepting labile bonds in order to obtain the simple expressions geographical, indeed, have become the Italian parks, whether national or regional. The 'Parcomania' buckled by hunters there is not a definition to mock the green movement!
The Regional Parks established in recent years, and so many regional and state nature reserves and national parks are designed, are based on so little binding constraints beyond the usually assumed and sometimes futile ban on hunting, very little of defending defined environmental assets such as 'protected areas'.
We run the risk that in the past as was the case for all existing National Parks, you are to lose their best environmental and landscape values after they have been or will be, theoretically, subject to protection! We think such large areas of wilderness were the Gran Paradiso or the Abruzzi or when they are designated in the Stelvio National Parks: 60,000, 30,000 and 70,000 acres of Wilderness! Now that Wilderness has been very little.
Today, such as parks or other reserves ensure that no work or refuge road (not to mention worse!) Be made within their borders after the date of their appointment? Few, if any, in the sense of drive.
Hence the need for a new way of thinking about what conservationist. A current that he discovers and do exactly the Wilderness Concept. It is not a 'Parcomania'. Objective but a choice of places worthy of real protection, separate from those of little environmental value or, worse, with only socio-economic values for which can also be good pseudo constraints of today. A choice, not so much to protect the places to be exploited because of the places to be kept very, biological and psychological necessity, be defended as we defend our gardens, where we spend money to beautify the sole purpose of creating us something nice undisputed to watch and enjoy. Only by taking action and awareness of such an axiom, we will fight to obtain even by the standards we vincolistiche inspired by the Concept of Wilderness, standards to be applied in all existing protected areas and those to be expected in the future establishment, at least defense of the last remaining wilderness areas in the Italian territory. And only then can we defend our right to consider their indisputable, like the right to defend our homes, our real estate, our material goods in general.
Forever Wild could mean for our forever. "
John Muir wrote in a letter to his brother: "First sell 20 acres of meadow near the lake and keep it fenced so that there can not penetrate the cattle .... I want to save untrodden remains of ferns and flowers, and even though I can not see him again, the beauty of the lilies and orchids will be all in my mind that I will rejoice just imagination. "
Our mind henceforth atrophied in an artificial way of life, illusory and superficial, it allows us to conceive, even for a moment, the existence of a nature which has not been manipulated and transformed by man. Our thoughts of men "civilian" does not include more than something that is not human or at least humanized. That's why we appreciate only things that show in some way a "presence" human, even minimal, but always human (wild a path, not beaten and unmarked, is considered "abandoned", impractical, uncomfortable). Everything must always be submissive in any way the work of man. It is hoped that the last areas of the earth that are still immune from the "disease" human remains so forever.
"What I tried to say is that the conservation of wildlife in the world is ... The street is made of wild spaces. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, his presence the invigorates .... When I want to re-create me, I seek the forest more intricate, more dense and more extended, and for the city dweller, the most dismal and swampy. I enter as a sacred place, a sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength, the marrow, of Nature. In short, all good things are wild and free "(HD Thoreau).
John Mitchell in his article (1998) reminds us, to confirm what you said a moment ago: "When we speak of wilderness does not mean only a physical place, nor a management system ...... Wilderness is also a state of mind. An idea at once elusive and earthly as the personal risk, the freedom, solitude and spiritual rest, as concrete as the living earth and the waters that draw the profile. " He added, citing his partner Charles Little: "The earth is a community, Leopold taught. Its waters, soil, plants, animals, form a harmonious whole not for our benefit, but for them. "
And 'right to complete and integrate speech with the words of Aldo Leopold have quoted several times, you must first designation of Wilderness Area of the world, and universally known for his treatises on' "Earth Ethics". A Sand County Almanac opera (1949/1968, translated by F. Zunino): "The Wilderness is the raw material from which man has manipulated the artifact called civilization.
The Wilderness was never a homogenous raw material. It was very different results and the artifacts are, therefore, very different.These differences in the final product we know as culture. The rich diversity in the wilderness of which have come to life.
For the first time in the history of the human species, two changes are imminent. One is the exhaustion of the Wilderness in the most populated portion of the globe. The other is the hybridization of world cultures through modern transport and industrialization. Neither of them can be prevented, or perhaps may be so, since, by some trivial improvements of the changes imposed, certain values can be preserved before they are lost.
For the hot blacksmith at work, the iron on his anvil is an adversary to be conquered. So was the Wilderness, an opponent for the pioneers. But for the blacksmith in repose, able for a moment a glimpse into his world of philosophy, the same raw iron is something to love and cherish, because it gives meaning to his life and determination. This means the preservation of some remnants of Wilderness as museum pieces, to the delight of those who may someday want to see them, live them, or learning about the origins of their cultural heritage. "
Although some steps have a repetition of what is written on the wilderness, are some points (points 1 and 2) the programmatic document of the Italian Association for the Wilderness, so you better focus the importance of certain aspects of the real vision of conservation of nature.
Step 1 - Wilderness as feeling
Like all beauty, even in the vastness of nature in its many aspects and its physical manifestations before they arouse in us of a scientific or cultural interests or to meet recreational needs, arouses emotion. Would be foolish to deny it, each of us with the reflection may be able to go back to that first thrill of discovery of the natural world. Everything else came after our interests, with acculturation. Nature is thus primarily a spiritual heritage to man, and the complex environmental intact and therefore more beautiful in a natural yardstick, are the cathedrals or shrines of this spirituality.
In modern society it may be sick of the spirit so much as in the body, and in these cases the contact with nature, living in nature in a balanced manner becoming contributing members of their community finding ancestral relationship with it, may be one way, and it certainly is for many people, to find the mood that we improve and enhance our civil life with others, our social ethics, so it is a way to improve society in which we live. The nature in this case becomes an indispensable part of our life experience. This is the feeling that the Anglo-Saxons were closely related to the experience of "Wilderness".
In front of a forest destroyed, defaced a mountain, any alteration of the landscape we love or have we loved, we feel within us a spontaneous movement of revolt, which is our first reaction to these crimes. All other reasons, social, cultural, recreational, scientific and economic ones, we list them later, by reasoning. Once again we see, then, how to awaken the spiritual value of our first and most heartfelt interest. Despite this, the tendency is to put these other reasons at the top of our interests, and to make the reasons why we want to protect nature, we come practically to deny to ourselves the emotions we have inside and that is the first ground of revolt, so the very first reason why we must fight to protect the natural heritage (and this applies to artistic works, whose sentimental value is always higher than the market): the view itself without these feelings would not make senseor would be very sterile and cold.
Ultimately, we must protect nature because it is beautiful, because we like and gives us emotions, and especially because he has a right to exist. Those who understand this feeling understood the philosophy of Wilderness. Linking this idea is limited only to the wilderness: the great wild spaces are just the best places, one of the greatest beauty and natural wealth, which guarantee the rights of nature and where our emotional attitude to it is manifested most.
The spiritual needs of human nature are bound to increase, but both capitalism and consumerism are based on a materialistic society that tends to ignore this human need and that is then placed destroying or at least every natural phenomenon to its technological and economic needs and if there is a chance to stop this evolution, not revolution in social systems, but in exalting and advance the values of human feelings, because in them is able to resist UNOCHA strength and conditioning.
The inner motivation are among other things, the only ones that can never be then placed at the fickleness of politicians and administrators territory. Even in the most critical moments of social life will be harder to waive the need to preserve a little of nature, even when faced with serious contingent requirements may deny, in the limits of humanity, the destruction of nature.Such a force does not have any materialistic motivations.
Step 2 - Wilderness as greater respect for nature
Those who feel the desire for a different relationship with the environment, more tied to the needs of inner beauty and solitude, reflection, enjoyment of beauty, moments of life and the evolution of nature, the need to understand more easily than most, understand that the rights of nature, at least in some areas, should have the first place and that man must always ready to pull back to visit soon become obvious signs of change that his presence causes, ranging from environmental degradation to the disturbance of wildlife, the loss of certain states of peace and solitude (which are right before our fauna); therefore also ready to give up to nature when it is the case:
Instead, the majority of those who love nature, fauna, flora, or they enjoy physical recreation through it, rarely poses problems of its renunciation of the pleasures of respect for their needs. Usually, every organization, every interest group, trying to set limits to other organisms or groups of people whose freedom of action threatens their needs. It almost always looks to others, before self-criticism and began to see what its activities should be restricted. The most striking example is the rivalry between naturalists and hunters. The first would abolish all hunting activities seen as a rival to their interests, but almost never poses problems limiting their activities to the observation, study or recreation such as hunting even dangerous in certain situations.
" The wilderness is a spiritual need that each of us carries inside , and from the simple love of beauty to the overwhelming need to feel some loneliness . And ' the discomfort we feel in nature before the work of man, even when this is minimal or has the purpose of preservation or study. The wild water is free to flow, erode , swell and overflow ; is the freedom of flying and running animals; are intact horizons of mountains or flat marshes ; is the immensity of the sky in a landscape of grass ; is the silence of nature and the roar of the waters in the mountain valleys ; the howl of the storm in the forest ; the hiss of the storm and the roar of the avalanche scary ; the slow flight of canceling the space between the mountains ; is the play of the waves on the reef. The wilderness is turning around his eyes and did not see a sign of a man; is to listen and do not hear the noise of man " (Franco Zunino ) .
"The protection of a natural area can certainly have many roles, many purposes , but I think only one has to be the purpose for which it is to be implemented to preserve the land for its own sake . And keep it means , or should mean , to you that is not altered deliberately , it means deciding to subtract it from the logic of development (which is the logic of profit ) that is purely human .
Deciding to keep a place you decide to keep that place for an ancestral behavior , animal, who is our origin , that is the only way to define ourselves in balance with the environment : no deer , no wolves , no bear has ever could or purported to "develop" or " enhance " or " to produce" their own habitat . Simply use it for thousands of years for what it offers them spontaneously and leaving it unchanged for generations . It 's just the man the only species of animal to be out of this " circle of life." (Franco Zunino )

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata unleashed Wii U news in an installment of Nintendo Direct recently as he outlined Nintendo's future plans for the console. Iwata revealed how the Wii U launch lineup will be bolstered by a long list of top game franchises headed for the new console.
These games would be Mario and Legends of Zelda, further, Iwata also detailed a number of enhancements designed to make the Wii U game experience more social, even if people are not playing in the same room.
"The fun of video games is not only just playing games, but also sharing experiences together with people - even though they live far away, their skill levels are different or their experience does not happen at the same time," Iwata said. "We want Wii U to be the system that brings everyone together."
Two Zelda Games: Eiji Aonuma, the producer of The Legend of Zelda series, revealed two entries in the series for Wii U.
Super Mario is on His Way: The Nintendo EAD Tokyo Software Development team that created the Super Mario Galaxy games for Wii and Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS is working on a new 3D Mario action game for Wii U. The game is scheduled to be playable at this year's E3.
The new game, Legend of Zelda is one of the most popular investments of Nintendo, behind Mario. So it is not surprising that the company is releasing the Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker on Wii U in High Definition. The game is said to include Game-pad-only play, Miiverse integration and other additional enhancements. The original game can be found in Game cube. Gamers can get a look of the images of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker here.
The company during its direct video presentations, revealed its plans for the coming year and beyond. The details of the plans included a new range of updates to upcoming features, to new Wii U games and more. A number of Wii U titles were announced by the company which included titled Yarn Yoshi, developed by Kirby's Epic Yarn, Xenoblade Chronicles by Monolith and more.

Bioshock: Infinite Delayed Until 2013, No E3 Demo
Bioshock: Infinite is one of the most anticipated games currently scheduled for release. Building on the massive critical and commercial success of the original title, the next installment by Irrational is set to have a similar impact on gamers around the world as they are welcomed to the world of Columbia. Only not this year.
Although Bioshock: Infinite was scheduled for an October 2012 release, Ken Levine has today released a letter stating that the title has been delayed, until February 26th next year to be exact. In addition to this delay, Levine also tells us that no demo of the title will be present at either E3 or Gamescom. Explaining his reasoning, Levine has assured fans that the delay is purely to put some finishing touches on what should prove to be an amazing game.
In the letter he said: "I won't kid you: BioShock Infinite is a very big game, and we're doing things that no one has ever done in a first-person shooter. We had a similar experience with the original BioShock, which was delayed several months as our original ship date drew near. Why? Because the Big Daddies weren't the Big Daddies you've since come to know and love. Because Andrew Ryan's golf club didn't have exactly the right swing. Because Rapture needed one more coat of grimy Art Deco. The same principle now applies to BioShock Infinite."
All this sounds fair enough, but his words will still sting coming to the Holidays when we have one less triple AAA title to get stuck into. Oh well, I guess that we will have to console ourselves with Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, Assassins Creed 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Resident Evil 6. Shame really.

LSU's biggest question remains unanswered
LSU's quarterback battle is not quite finished just yet.
The Tigers depth chart listed Brandon Harris and Anthony Jennings as co-starters for the week one matchup against McNeese State.
Harris and Jennings have been battling for the position this entire offseason. After LSU's final scrimmage last week, Harris was named as the unofficial front-runner by Les Miles.
But either Harris has not been able to lock down the position, or Jennings has made the competition a bit more interesting.
Both QB's had their up and down moments last season and have earned praise by coaches and teammates during spring and summer camp. However, Miles has yet to name one guy as "the guy" — a common theme across the SEC this preseason.
Until kickoff on Saturday, only the coaches will know who will get the start, unless of course it's a game-time decision.
At this point, expect Harris and Jennings to share a bunch of snaps this weekend.
Here is a look at LSU's depth chart via the Advocate.com's Ross Dellenger.

From Pittston, Pennsylvania, USA:
For about a year, my 15 year old son (who has had type 1 diabetes for about three and a half years), has constantly been complaining of stomachaches. He has already had an upper GI X-ray by the family doctor to check for ulcers, but that test was good so the pediatric endocrinologist helped me to get in to see a pediatric gastroenterologist.
His gastric emptying test (which I am assuming was to check for gastroparesis) was just barely within the normal limits. Will this get worse over time? Does this have to do with the nerves being affected by his sugar? He also has a slightly elevated LDL cholesterol level which they said is from high sugars, but we are going to keep an eye on it. The gastroenterologist is also going to be doing an ultrasound of gallbladder and an endoscopy if the ultrasound is normal. What would the endoscopy show ( if anything) in relation to diabetes? Could this be something else completely?
Has anybody checked for thyroid dysfunction, adrenal dysfunction and celiac disease? These could also cause stomach problems.
It's hard to believe after just a few years of diabetes that this could be autonomic neuropathy where the stomach and intestines do not empty properly, but it is possible. Usually this is associated with very high blood glucose readings so hemoglobin A1c levels would also be important to review. I would agree to look for other sources of such symptoms very carefully so keep working with your diabetes team and the GI consultants.
