1. The Prime Minister in his statement to
the House of Commons immediately after the events of 11 September
said that "they would, if they could, go further and use
chemical, biological or nuclear weapons" and the Foreign
Secretary said that the instigators of the 11 September attacks
"would not be deterred by human decency from deploying chemical
or biological weapons" hence "we must therefore redouble
our efforts to stop the proliferation and the availability of
such weapons." How concerned should we in the United Kingdom
be of chemical or biological attacks and what can we do about
this danger?
2. Chemical and biological weapons go back
into antiquity. Chemical weapons were widely used in World War
I but fortunately not in World War II although they were used
in the Iraq/Iran war of the 1980s. Biological weapons were stockpiled
during World War II by the UK so that we could retaliate in kind
should such weapons be used against us. Following WW II, the UK
and the United States both studied biological weapons and the
USA possessed weapons and agent stockpiles at the time of the
unilateral decision by President Nixon in 1969 to abandon such
weapons, a decision the United Kingdom had taken in the mid-1950s.
3. There has rightly been increasing concern
about chemical and biological weapons during the past few years.
This concern was echoed in the January 2001 US Department of Defense
"Proliferation: Threat and Response" in
which the then Secretary of Defense said that "At least 25
countries now possessor are in the process of acquiring
and developing capabilities to inflict mass casualties and destruction:
nuclear, biological and chemical weapons or the means to deliver
them." The United States in its Quadrennial Defence Reviews[3]
has highlighted the likely threat of asymmetric approaches to
warfare, especially involving weapons of mass destruction. President
George W Bush in his Inaugural Address[4]
said "We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that
a new century is spared new horrors" and less than a month
later said[5]
"First, we must prepare our nations against the dangers of
a new era. The grave threat from nuclear, biological and chemical
weapons has not gone away with the Cold War. It has evolved into
many separate threats, some of them harder to see and harder to
answer. And the adversaries seeking these tools of terror are
less predictable, more diverse." The Director of Central
Intelligence in February 2001 said[6]
that "Terrorist groups are actively searching the internet
to acquire information and capabilities for chemical, biological,
radiological, and even nuclear attacks. Many of the 29 officially
designated terrorist organisations have an interest in unconventional
weapons, and Osama bin Laden in 1998 even declared their acquisition
a religious duty." The danger from chemical and biological
weapons has also been recognised by the UK with the publication[7]
by the Ministry of Defence in July 1999 of a detailed review of
defending against the threat from chemical and biological weapons.
4. International treatiesthe Biological
and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) of 1972 and the Chemical Weapons
Convention (CWC) of 1993totally prohibit the development,
production or transfer of such weapons and the corresponding UK
Acts make it a criminal offence for anyone to work on or use such
weapons. However, these treaties have not prevented some States
from seeking such weaponsnotably Iraq whose defiance of
the United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) arose primarily
from Saddam Hussein's determination to retain his forbidden chemical
and biological weapon capabilities. The BTWC prohibits the development,
production and stockpiling or use of biological weapons or toxins
against humans, animals or plants whilst the CWC prohibits the
development, production and stockpiling or use of chemical weapons
against humans and animals. Whilst attention is often focused
on possible use against humans, it is important not to overlook
the vulnerability of animals and plants to such attacks.
5. Chemical and biological weapons attack
human beings or animals primarily by the dissemination of the
agent into the atmosphere and its carriage downwind to the target
population. The overlap of the two Conventions is evident
from consideration of their basic prohibitions. The basic prohibition
of the Chemical Weapons Convention is set out in Article I in
Each State Party to this Convention undertakes
never under any circumstances:
Chemical weapons are defined in Article II of
the Convention as being the following, together or separately:
th toxic chemicals being defined in the same
Article as:
Any chemical which through its chemical action
on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation or
permanent harm to humans or animals. This includes all such chemicals,
regardless of their origin or of their method of manufacture,
and regardless of whether they are produced in facilities, in
munitions or elsewhere.
6. The prohibition thus applies to all chemicals,
however produced, and therefore applies to toxins. Quite correctly
there is an overlap between the scope of the Chemical Weapons
Convention and that of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention
in which the basic prohibition is that in Article I where
Each State Party to the Convention undertakes
never in any circumstances to develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise
acquire or retain:
Both Conventions cover toxins. Two toxinsricin
and saxitoxinare specifically included in Schedule I of
the Chemical Weapons Convention.
7. Both Conventions contain general purpose
criteria which ensure that the prohibitions are all embracing
as the BTWC covers all microbial or other biological agents, or
toxins whatever their origin or method of production, of types
and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic,
protective or other peaceful purposes and the CWC covers
all toxic chemicals and their precursors, except where intended
for purpose not prohibited under this Convention, as long
as the types and quantities are consistent with such purposes.
The general purpose criteria are highlighted in bold.
8. In considering the threat from terrorist
use of chemical or biological materials, it is important to focus
on available materials rather than on the traditional chemical
warfare agents as these were generally produced to provide a retaliatory
capabilityand consequently, agents were selected which
could be stored for extended periods. Iraq has shown in its selection
of chemical agents that different agents and different production
routes may be chosen for agents that are produced as required.
A rogue state or a terrorist group is more likely to seek an agent
for immediate use and a material that is available is more likely
to be chosen.
9. Of all the weapons of mass destruction,
biological weapons pose the greatest danger[8]
because they have the weakest prohibition regimethe BTWC
lacks any provisions for monitoring complianceyet biological
weapons can cause effects comparable to nuclear weapons and are
easier to acquire than nuclear or chemical weapons.
10. A useful comparison (see Table 1) of
nuclear, biological and chemical weapons was made by a US Congressional
which although published almost 10 years ago is still valid and
shows clearly that biological weapons are the easiest to acquire
as many pathogens are endemicie occur in nature, have the
least cost and least signature yet have comparable strategic effects
to nuclear weapons.
Taken together, it is clear that biological weapons present
the greatest danger today of all three weapons of mass destruction
as they are the easiest to acquire, have the weakest regime and
yet have effects comparable to nuclear weapons. Consequently,
countering biological weapons is a key security priority.
11. It is useful to consider chemical and biological
weapons as a spectrum of agents which overlap in the mid-spectrum
region which comprises agents of biological origin that are chemicals
and are therefore covered by both the BTWC and the CWC.
12. In the case of chemicals, sufficient has to be delivered
to cause harm to the victims and for an effective attack significant
quantitiestonsneed to be available and spread at
the right time and in the right way. In the case of biological
agents, enough to infect an individual has to be inhaled and quantities
needed are correspondingly lesstypically kilograms. It
is, however, misleading to hold up a bag of sugar and suggest
that if this were biological agent then it could kill everyone
in the UKthe analogy is to a sharp sword which can kill
a lot of people but the sword has to be taken to each and every
individual. There are significant technical problems with biological
attacksagent has to be obtained, enough has to be grown,
then it has to be disseminated and for effective infection the
particle size has not to be so large that they fall harmlessly
to the ground or so small that they are inhaled and exhaled without
being retained in the lungs. Furthermore, as biological agents
are living microorganisms, they are fragile and may be killed
through the forces needed to disseminate them or the ensuing exposure
to sunlight and the open air. Finally, local micrometeorolgy determines
whether dispersion into a turbulent atmosphere is such that the
target population fails to receive enough to be infected.
13. In comparison to terrorist devices using explosive,
chemical and biological weapons offer few attractions and much
uncertainty. With explosive devices, the effect is immediate when
the device is functioned and effects can be accurately predicted.
In chemical and biological attacks, there is much uncertaintyhas
enough agent been disseminated, is the particle size optimum for
retention in the lung, are the meteorological conditions right
to spread the agent to the targetto which is coupled the
delayed effectspossibly hours for chemical and days or
weeks for biological agents.
14. If nevertheless, such an attack is made or is threatened,
how can the danger be countered? The answer is a web of assurance
which together assures the public that all reasonable steps have
been taken to prevent and minimise the effects of such an attack.
This web is made up of four key strands:
Much can be gained from strengthening all the elements of
the web of assurancewhich is also a web of deterrencewhich
may lead the perpetrator to judge that chemical or biological
attacks will not serve his aims.
Comprehensive prohibition
15. When President Bush addressed[10]
Congress on 20 September 2001, he said that to fight and win this
war, "We will direct every resource at our command, every
means of diplomacy, every instrument of law enforcement, every
financial influence and every necessary weapon of war." We
need to strengthen all of the tools at our disposala call
echoed when the UN Secretary-General on 1 October 2001 told[11]
the General Assembly that the global norm must be strengthened
and efforts redoubled to implement the treaties outlawing biological
weapons. The States Parties to the BTWC have over the past decade
been engaged in negotiations of a Protocol to strengthen the effectiveness
and improve the implementation of the Convention. These negotiations
had essentially been completed by July 2001 when over 50 of the
55 States Parties engaged in the negotiations had spoken in favour
of completion of the Protocol prior to the Review Conference to
be held in November-December 2001. The quality of the Protocol
regime is certainly as good as, if not better than, that of the
CWC[12]. Regrettably,
the United States on 25 July 2001 rejected[13]
the Protocolwhich would have brought benefits including
provisions to ensure that all States Parties enact penal legislation
to make biological weapons illegal and to implement export controls
on those biological agents and technology that can be misused
to cause deliberate disease. As there appeared to be no political
will to go ahead with the Protocol without the participation of
the United States, it is a step forward that President Bush on
1 November 2001 proposed[14]
a number of measures to strengthen the BTWC as part of a comprehensive
strategy for combating the complex threats of weapons of mass
destruction and terrorism which included proposals that all States
Parties should:
Although these proposals are together less far reaching than
those in the rejected Protocoland as the Presidential statement
acknowledged the ideas we propose do not constitute a complete
solution to the use of pathogens and biotechnology for evil purposesthey
are a step forward and provide at least a starting point for further
Effective controls
16. The dangers from both chemicals and pathogens to
humans, animals or plants has long been recognised and countries
have increasingly introduced national regulations and controls
on the handling, use and storage of such chemicals and pathogens
in order to protect public health and the environment[15].
These controls have frequently required the creation of national
inspectorates who may be required to inspect facilities and give
approval prior to a facility starting working with a particular
pathogen or before pathogens are transferred between facilities.
Likewise controls are required of facilities producing or storing
large quantities of hazardous chemicals. Such controls have been
harmonised regionallymost notably in the European Unionas
well as internationally through the WHO, OIE and FAO.
17. In respect of transfers, Article III of the BTWC
requires that:
Each State Party to this Convention undertakes not to transfer
to any recipient whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and not in
any way to assist encourage, or induce any State, group of States
or international organisations to manufacture or otherwise acquire
any of the agents, toxins, weapons, equipment or means of delivery
specified in Article I of the Convention.
d Article I of the CWC requires that:
1. Each State Party to this Convention undertakes never
under any circumstances:
This effectively places a responsibility on each State Party
to satisfy itself that any transfer of agents or equipment will
not be used for prohibited purposes. However, it is important
to recognise that the BTWC and CWC requirements are not ones that
stand alone without regard to the national and international environment
relating to biological and chemical materials and equipment. There
are increasing concerns around the world about the possibility
that sub-State actors or terrorist groups may seek to use biological
and chemical materials and equipment as weapons to achieve their
aims. Furthermore, it has to be recognised that increasingly countries
are concerned about public, animal and plant health, about the
environment and about trade in an increasing variety of goods
as all States are keen to live in a safer, more prosperous world.
18. To an increasing extent States, both developed and
developing, are establishing the national infrastructure and controls
to ensure that biological and chemical materials and equipment
are handled, used and transferred only to approved facilities,
which increasingly are inspected by national agencies on a regular
basis, so that public confidence can be built that the public
and their environment are not being put at unnecessary risk through
uncontrolled handling, use and transfer. The Rotterdam Prior Informed
Consent Convention dealing with banned and severely restricted
chemicals, the Persistent Organic Pollutants Convention, the Biosafety
Protocol dealing with genetically modified organisms and the UN
Drug Conventions all require the monitoring of exports and imports
of potentially harmful materials. Similar infrastructure and controls
are also being sought by States who wish to deny the availability
of such agents and materials to sub-State actors or terrorist
groups. Furthermore, trade depends on the regular supply of quality
goods which need to be inspected and checked to ensure that they
are free from disease or harmful contaminantsthe recent
European concerns about BSE, swine fever and foot and mouth disease
in animals underlines the necessity for such controls. The concerns
in Europe about genetically-modified foods reflect similar concerns
about genetically-modified organisms which led to the entry into
force of the Convention for Biological Diversity which opened
for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and
in January 2000 to the agreement of the Cartagena Protocol on
Biosafety which includes provisions for advanced informed agreement
prior to transborder movement of such genetically-modified organisms.
It is thus clear that increasingly States are developing the necessary
national infrastructure and controls to build public confidence
within that State that the public and the environment are not
at risk from biological and chemical and equipment.
19. Such controls on the handling, use, storage and transfer
of biological and chemical materials and toxins contribute to
ensuring that such materials are only used for permitted purposes
and do not fall into the hands of those who are seeking to misuse
them and cause harm whether to humans, animals or plants.
Preparedness including both active and passive protective measures
20. Outbreaks of disease and intoxinations do occur naturally
around the worldwhether of Ebola virus in Africa or of
foot and mouth disease in Europeand States have developed
responses to contain and deal with such outbreaks. Industrial
accidentssuch as at Bhopal in India and Seveso in Italyhave
resulted in releases of harmful chemicals and States require preparation
of plans to deal with such accidents. These preparedness plans
for naturally occurring outbreaks of disease or accidental releases
of chemicals can and should form the basis of plans to counter
deliberate outbreaks of disease or chemical attackswhether
caused by a State or by non-State actors. Much attention has rightly
been paid by NATO and a number of other nations to ensuring that
their armed forces have effective protective measures should chemical
or biological weapons be used against them. A few Statesnotably
Sweden, Switzerland and Israelhave also extended such protective
measures to their civilian population through the concept, in
Sweden, of total defence. There is, however, much variability
in the national protective measures against chemical and biological
weapons and the importance of achieving more uniform protective
capabilities for coalition forces has been recognized. [16]
21. Concern about the possible use of chemical or biological
materials by terrorists, following the Aum Shinrikyo use of sarin
in the Tokyo subway in March 1995 and the subsequent indication
that they had also been seeking biological weapons, has attracted
much attention in the United States during the past few years
with significant resourcesin excess of $11 billionbeing
directed to combating terrorism. Whilst there is undoubtedly a
potential for terrorist groups to use chemical or biological agents
against humans, animals or plantsand therefore it is prudent
to have a preparedness response plan that is exercisedthere
is some indication that the US response has not been as well focused
as it might be. The US Government Accounting Office (GAO) in a
series of reports has emphasised the importance of developing
a sound understanding of the terrorist threat[17]and
have noted that "terrorists would have to overcome significant
technical and operational challenges to successfully make and
release many chemical and biological agents of sufficient quality
and quantity to kill or injure large numbers of people without
substantial assistance from a foreign government sponsor."
and that qualifications such as this are important in avoiding
policy makers obtaining an exaggerated view of the terrorist chemical
and biological threat. The GAO has also stressed the importance
of not using improbable "worst case scenarios" to plan
and develop response programmes but rather to counter credible
threats. A GAO survey[18]
of the way in which Canada, France, Germany, Israel and the United
Kingdom respond to terrorist threats has shown that, because of
limited resources, response programmes are selected on the basis
of the likelihood of terrorist activity taking place, not on the
countries overall vulnerability to terrorist attacks. In respect
of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attacks, it was
noted that whilst each country may be vulnerable to such an attack,
it was felt that such attacks were "unlikely for a variety
of reasons, including the difficulties terrorists would face in
producing and delivering such weapons." Consequently, these
countries "maximise their existing capabilities to address
a wide array of threats, including emerging threats like chemical,
biological, radiological or nuclear, before they create new capabilities
or programs to respond to such attacks."
22. It is, however, evident that preparedness will continue
to be an important element of the web of reassurance into the
future because of the dual-use nature of chemical or biological
materials and toxins. Protective measuresboth active and
passivehave a key role to play in reassuring the public
that all reasonable national steps have been taken to be prepared
should biological weapons be usedwhether by a State or
by a non-State actor. Such response plans should be based on the
existing plans to counter outbreaks of disease or accidental releases
of chemicalsin humans, animals or plantsas such
outbreaks, resulting from natural causes, and accidental releases
will continue to occur from time to time and will need to be contained
and treated effectively and efficiently.
23. Preparedness for chemical or biological attacks should
build on national preparations to deal with disasters resulting
from accidental releases of chemicals from industrial facilities
and unexpected outbreaks of disease resulting from a traveller
infected with an exotic disease arriving by air in the United
Kingdom. Emergency planning in the United Kingdom has long addressed
the possibility of disasters however caused. The Home Office website[19]
provides guidelines for "Dealing with Disaster" which
sets out how the emergency services, central and local government
will work together in responding to such an emergency and is an
example of truly "joined-up" government. The key elements
in the plan for responding to an emergency are rightly identified
as comprising assessment, prevention, preparedness, response and
recovery. Likewise, the guidance[20]
in Scotland addressing incidents involving infectious disease
in referring to a terrorist or criminal act involving the deliberate
release of infectious organisms states that It is most important
that arrangements for the management, investigation and control
of outbreaks remain consistent with those described for natural
outbreaks of disease. This general approach to combatting terrorism
in the UK is similar to that adopted in Canada, France, Germany
and Israel[21]. This
strategy of responding to chemical or biological attacks by building
on existing national capabilities to deal with accidental releases
and unusual outbreaks of disease is also advocated in the World
Health Organization's early provision on its website, following
the events of 11 September, of a new book[22]
entitled "Health Effects of Chemical and Biological Weapons".
Determined national and international response
24. Any use or threat of use of chemical or biological
weapons needs to be countered by a determined response, ranging
from diplomatic demarches, through sanctions to armed intervention,
both nationally and internationally. The international prohibition
regimes need to be implemented nationally and any breachor
threat of a breachdealt with firmly and effectively so
sending the message to other would be perpetrators that the acquisition
of chemical or biological weapons will not be tolerated. The Harvard-Sussex
Programme initiative[23]
to prohibit chemical and biological weapons under international
criminal law as a crime against humanity akin to piracy, torture
and hijacking is to be commended as it underlines the message
that such weapons are totally prohibited.
25. Unfortunately, the developments internationally in
regard to determined responses to any use or threat of use of
chemical and biological weapons in the last few years in this
respect have been decidedly mixedthe Chemical Weapons Convention
(CWC) which covers chemicals and toxins came into force in 1997
and has successfully been implemented although it has been plagued
by late submissions of declarations and bureaucratic difficulties.
The trilateral agreement between Russia, the United States and
the United Kingdom intended to build confidence that the former
Soviet Union's offensive biological weapons programme has indeed
been dismantled has run into the sand. The language addressing
the status of this trilateral process in successive US Arms Control
and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) reports has been unchanged[24]
noting that "while there has been progress . . , the progress
has not resolved all US concerns."
26. The situation in respect of Iraq is decidedly gloomy
with the suspension of UNSCOM in December 1998 and the lack of
progress with UNMOVIC which has yet to commence its responsibilities
in Iraq. There has been a disturbing lack of unanimity in the
Security Council with the P5 members being split on how best to
deal with Iraq. The fact that Iraq had developed significant chemical
and biological weapons capabilitiesand had deployed these
with predelegated authority to use these weapons in the Persian
Gulf war of 1990-91and has consistently refused to give
up these capabilities seems to be forgotten by some members of
the P5 giving a hollow ring to their commitment almost 10 years
"The proliferation of all weapons of mass destruction
constitute a threat to international peace and security. The members
of the Council commit themselves to working to prevent the spread
of technology related to the research for or production of such
weapons and to take appropriate action to that end."
It is shortsighted and foolish not to appreciate the danger
posed to international security by biological weaponsan
attack in one country could easily spread to other countries through
international travel and trade causing immense harm. There is
a need for the P5 to recognise that there are strategic issuessuch
as the proliferation of weapons of mass destructionwhich
demand unanimity of purpose rather than promotion of purely national

Ben 10: Ship Pilot
Ben Tennyson has gone places ever since he first discovered the Omnitrix. He have traveled to many strange land before, but there is nothing stranger than this planet he is right now. He can't seem to understand this land as if it is made out of a game. Well, it can be resembled to Super Mario's land. Unfortunately, for him, his Omnitrix is not working since he just use it recently, He need a few hours to use it again. He would have to depend upon his ship to navigate through the planet. In this game, you would need to drive your ship through the land. Take note that you won't be flying it as you would be driving it to the land. You might think that it is easy if you haven't' tried it, but it won't be that easy, especially because it is so light. The ship would be hard to control and it might fall on its back, so you need to be extra-careful while driving. Grab as many coins as you can along the way. The game gets more difficult as you make some progress. You can repeat the game in the middle of the play with the "R" button.

Iran has embarked on a series of military drills, described in various sources as three- to five-day exercises, which will feature "a large volume of artillery fire and missiles."
Khatam ol-Anbia airbase commander Brig. Gen. Farzad Esmayeeli, announced the combined army, navy, air force, and air defense exercise, named "Modafe'an-e Aseman-e Velayat 7." He said that F-4 Phantoms and S300 missile systems would be tested, and suggested the airspace would be kept clear of civilian traffic.
Iran's Fars news agency published Esmayeeli's full remarks and revealed his air-traffic warning was more of a menacing threat to foreign aircraft, promising they would be instantly shot down if they enter the drill area:
Of course, we are witnessing the presence of a number of trans-regional planes outside the air and sea borders of the country but we emphasize that these planes should know their limits and know that we will take action in less than one second. They should fully keep away from the drills zone.
"The air defense system can engage in combat against various targets at any altitudes and it blocks the path of any hostile flying objects that intends to enter the country's airspace," Esmayeeli added, saying that Iran's air defense capability has been tremendously improved by the addition of Russian-made S-300 missiles.
He boasted that Iran's enemies "don't even think of threatening the country," as Fars rendered his comments.
On Tuesday, Iran declared it had successfully test-fired "mid-range missiles against hypothetical enemies that invaded some sensitive sites in southern parts of the country."
Furthermore, a spokesman for the military exercise said these homemade Mersad and Ya Zahra-3 missiles were "successfully countered by the air defense systems used by Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base," which is presumably a reference to the Russian S-300 missile system.
International Business Times notes that some 17,000 Iranian military personnel are involved in the exercise, which covers an area more than twice the size of the United Kingdom — an area that normally does see quite a bit of civilian air traffic.

After studying Psychology, I spent many years working in the Social Care and Education system. It was there that I discovered the aspects of the work that I found most rewarding were those where I could offer deeper therapeutic support and assist people through life's challenges. I decided to take this further by advancing my studies and becoming a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
I started working within practices and in large clinical settings providing face to face therapy. Somehow it just wasn't enough for me as I had a desire to start something of my own and work for myself. I noticed that therapy practices were only open at set times, which I found to be somewhat strange - it's not like we choose when we go through distress. Hardship can knock on a person's door at any time of the day. It was my aim to create an easily accessible therapy service, where anyone with access to a phone or the internet could securely receive professional counselling from qualified Therapists. Help would be just a click away, 24 hours a day, from anywhere in the world, whether at home, at work, or overseas. This is how the Online Counselling Service was created.
Since the launch in 2008, the organisation has grown. I am delighted that we have been able to support thousands of clients from all over the globe in their time of need. Our service has developed from initially providing just Email and Instant Chat Counselling to, including the increasingly popular, Skype VoIP and Telephone Counselling sessions as well. We have supported and encouraged people to fulfil their potential and make the most out of their lives. It has been of paramount importance to encourage clients to stay motivated and committed to exploring ways of overcoming barriers and setbacks. Planning, goal setting and goal evaluation have been a useful tool in our therapeutic approach.
With extensive experience in face to face, online and telephone counselling, as well as through continuous study I have personally learned so much about a wide spectrum of issues. What is more important, I have gained a clearer perspective of how clients can be supported to regain strength and energy so that they can feel happy at last.
It is my role to encourage individuals to get to know themselves better and identify the causes which are holding them back to achieving what they want or achieving even more. I strongly believe in developing routes to move forward and make change happen, resulting in success. I am committed to finding the best, most effective way to help people in distress.
It is my belief that when you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product, this is why I adore being a Psychological Therapist. I love it when a career and a passion come together! Faith McMoyo

Sometimes we have a dream to leave a corporate job for a creative one. But how on earth can we do it? For this podcast I was lucky enough to interview Bree Noble who did exactly that. She left her corporate job as a Director of finance to pursue a career in music.
Bree talks candidly about the journey she took from University, to the corporate world, and then finally leaving to fulfil her dreams of a creative career.
Bree was able to carve out a successful career, not only as a musician, but as a podcaster, and as a supporter of other musicians through online courses, sharing the tools that worked for her.

"The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad." - Willie Brown
And all that man (or woman) needs to express a feeling is the human voice, an instrument and... well, nothing else, really. Hear blues when it was young, the way it was meant to be shared among family, friends and neighbors, with only a guitar, mandolin, harmonica or fiddle between them and the listener. No electricity or batteries required!
This songwriter started out ages ago as a folksinger, but Blues soon became my favorite folk music; a keen observer of life performing roots blues and original songs on acoustic guitar and bottleneck dobro, with friends occasionally joining in on a variety of acoustic instruments in the American tradition. We play with heart, humor and passion in a style designed to get your feet and body moving.

Partnering on PEAK
Today we worked with fellow Partner REI and a few of their awesome employees in Connecticut for an educational outreach program, teaching PEAK. We worked with 360 kids that attend a summer camp called, Winding Trail Youth Camp. Campers were from Kindergarten through 5th grade. One may wonder, how were you able to work with 360 kids? Having 2 traveling trainers, 4 REI employees, a solid game plan nothing is impossible. There were 6 sessions of 60 kids, all broken up by appropriate age levels for activities. We focused on what Leave No Trace was all about, so campers had an understanding of the principles, and ways they can be stewards for the land. A couple of activities we ran with the campers were, "What Principle Am I?", "Watch Your Step", "Step on It", and " How Long Does It Last". These activities explored some of the principles, and planted the seed about how we need to preserve and protect our environment.
The day was definitely jam packed with teaching, and was a huge success in our eyes. Partnering in the field and teaching along side with REI employees was great, and we hope for more programs like this in the future. We would like to Thank Mark & Josh at Winding Trail Camp, and a huge thanks to Jenna, Brad, Tina, & Tracy (Connecticut REI All-stars) for all your work and success on the massive PEAK program.
Happy Trails,

Future Subaru Leave No Trace Traveling Trainers?
This is Frank (left) and Vern and they are Leave No Trace super heros. We just spoke to 800 Arrowmen in Jackson Hole Wyoming for our last Arrow Corps 5 event with the Boy Scouts. These two Leave No Trace aficionados were able help teach some of our non-stop 30 minutes workshops throughout the day! They were a huge hit and used some crowd pleaser material like Bo jackson and Stanley the Leave No Trace Bear to really illustrate some of the principles. These two friends have been traveling to all five Arrow Corp 5 events throughout the summer, teaching Leave No Trace, trail work, and other important outdoor skills to their fellow Boy Scouts. Big thanks Frank and Vern. Maybe you could be the next Subaru Leave No Trace Traveling Trainers!?!

Washington Water Trails Association
What could be better than sea kayaking for four days in the Puget Sound? How about sea kayaking in the Sound with our new friends, past Traveling Trainers, and current dynamic duo that make up the SEA (Sound Education and Action) Kayaker Team. North Moench and Ella Goodbrod took us under their wing for the weekend as the four of us talked to visitors on and around Blake Island about the Washington Water Trails Association and "how to reduce your paddle print" by practicing Leave No Trace skills and ethics. The weather and water were great, and we had a chance to talk to 125 people during the weekend at three different Cascadia Marine Trail sites. Some quick highlights include; getting to hang out and work with Traveling Trainer legends, learning about tide charts and decision making when traveling on the water, wildlife sitings like bald eagles, osprey, seals, raccoons, and a salmon farm, being introduced to sea kayaker culture and meeting lots of great people who love this sport, an impromptu game of "Okay - No Way" with a large group one evening on Blake Island, and navigating some crossings full of big ferries and fun waves. To learn more about the WWTA, a great partner of ours, click on the link above. Also, please visit the SEA Kayaker page to read more about North and Ella's outreach and adventures on the water this summer. Keep up the great work you two!
Lastly, we would like to thank our new pals Sarah and Robert for their great company and hospitality while we were in Seattle.

The last two days have been spent in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, doing a Trainers Training for the USFS SACO Rangers District. This was truly an amazing backcountry program, with knowledgeable passionate rangers from the New England area. We had a variety of USFS employees from Backcountry Rangers, Fire Crew, a Mineral Specialist, Visitor Information, and Front Country Rangers. After our classroom session we headed to the trailhead of Baldface Mountain for teaching sessions, hiking, and backcountry camping. We hiked about 7 miles roundtrip throughout the program, and had some scenic classrooms in a beautiful alpine environment. One of the highlights from the course was the steep hike up the ledges from the shelter to the notch of Baldface Mountain, which provided scenic views of New Hampshire & Maine, and an incredible classroom.
Congratulations SACO Rangers & Thank You for being a Partner of Leave No Trace! You guys are Awesome! We had such a wonderful course, and wish you all the best in your work protecting and educating the visitors of the White Mountains National Forest.
Happy Trails,

Hope to see you there!

White Mountain Workshops
The past two days have been spent in the White Mountains National Forest of New Hampshire. We had a program with the Appalachian Mountain Club at the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, and 2 USFS SACO Ranger District awareness workshops. The AMC is a partner of Leave No Trace and throughout the summer has nightly ranger led interpretive programs. The Traveling Trainers have a history with AMC, doing awareness workshops for families vacationing and staying at the lodge within the White Mountains National Forest. Our Awareness workshops for the USFS SACO district were held at the Historic Russell-Colbath Homestead, in the restored barn. The Homestead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is a wooden frame dwelling constructed between 1831 & 1832 by Thomas Russell. The historic site was definitely a beautiful classroom especially to be teaching about the importance of Leave No Trace. The first workshop with the USFS was an introduction to Leave No Trace, and the second one was a refresher program for Master Educators in the New England area. All three programs were awesome, and scenic with the White Mountains as the backdrop.
Next programs are a Trainers Training in New Hampshire.

Summer Camp in Idaho
We're in the stunning Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, and we just left our new friend, Idaho State Advocate Paul Holle and the wonderful atmosphere at Camp Perkins and Luther Heights Bible Camp. We spent two days at the two camps talking with 200 kids and playing two games with each session. We played some old standbys like "Step On It" and "The Itinerary Game," and we were also able to debut "The Leave No Trace Relay" which tested the campers on each of the seven principles as they ran the course. We had a wonderful time being immersed in camp life for a couple days and would to thank the staff at both camps for making us feel right at home.

Western Colorado Trainer Course
Recently, we spent a couple days with scout leaders from western Colorado on a two-day Leave No Trace Trainer Course. We hiked up to about 10,000 ft on Mount Sopris near Carbondale, CO and spent some time getting to know each other and talked about Leave No Trace. Six scout leaders joined us for some great views of Sopris and numerous fields of wild flowers. The scenery was great, the company was wonderful, and the training was a complete success.

Maine - Trained
Thirty-two hours after leaving Arkansas, we found ourselves in Acadia National Park, on Mount Desert Island in Maine. Our two day trainer course was held at Schoodic Education & Research Center as well as Schoodic Beach, just a few minutes outside the park. On the course we had a diverse group of participants, park staff, Friends of Acadia staff, a hiking guide, a sea kayaking guide, and a teacher from College of the Atlantic. The entire group was well versed in the outdoors & recreation, which offered great discussions and stories during our 2 days together. We saw a great mix of teaching styles and activities, and enjoyed a beautiful hike up Schoodic Mountain.
Charlie Jacobi, the course host, is no stranger to Leave No Trace, this is his 10th year hosting a Trainers Training Course at Acadia. It was a true pleasure to work with an individual with so much knowledge and passion for Leave No Trace. Thank you Charlie for your dedication in training other staff members in Leave No Trace, and your continued support towards the Traveling Trainers.
We wish the 10 new Leave No Trace Trainers the best of luck, for everything you do to preserve the beauty of Maine!
Happy Trails!

Of all the roads crisscrossing the United States, few have the intrigue of the Mother Road: Route 66 which, as it happens, actually isn't a road anymore. Route 66 was first established in 1926 and it symbolizes important aspects of many eras in American history: it's road trips, family vacations, Americana, heading to California in search of a better life... Personally, I love 66, what it was in the past as well as what it is today; driving portions of Historic Route 66 and state roads still designated as 66 was a major trip highlight. There are other roads that are longer, others that are older, plus it's just not a continuous road, but there's just something about 66--lasting to this day--that makes it special. Although the road was officially decommissioned in 1985, it lives on in so many ways.
My favorite Route 66 map
Route 66 originally ran from Chicago to LA (Santa Monica technically) which isn't even cross-country or anything and yet there is something about it, not just because of the song (pardon the video) which isn't exactly accurate and points if you know why, the TV shownbsp;or associations with Okies and Arkies (no offense to anyone considering those derogatory terms which, apparently, they might be). Route 66 today is a combination of motels, tourist attractions, restaurants, and empty stretches of highway, some things dilapidated, others looking like they did fifty years ago (I hope), while many are modern versions of old attractions.

How to Sell Washington DC Real Estate Quickly
Selling your home in today's marketplace can be challenging. With the right approach you can sell Washington DC real estate quickly and for a reasonable profit. Follow these simple steps to ensure your property comes up on the wish list for multiple buyers.
Step One – Get Professionals On Your Side
You'll need to hire an experienced Washington DC realtor to attract qualified buyers, conduct your transaction and answer your questions along the way. Ask for recommendations and opt for a real estate agent with proven expertise and a personable, yet professional nature.
Besides hiring a realtor, it may also be a good idea to bring in your own home inspector. Getting the jump on this process allows you to correct any issues before the house goes up for sale. Taking care of repairs and maintenance is critical to a quick sale. But you should also be aware that if the inspector uncovers a problem you are unable to fix, you may be required to disclose that information to prospective buyers.
Step Two – Set a Reasonable Price
Taking into account the advice of your real estate agent, the market conditions and your own financial needs, now is the time to come up with a reasonable price tag. Remember that your property will be measured against others within your Washington DC neighborhood, so price the listing accordingly.
Consider any potential hesitations that buyers may have about your home. Is it a little cramped or in need of updating? Is the location inconvenient to public transport or on a busy thoroughfare? You need to set the price with these conditions in mind, thinking like a buyer and emotionally detaching yourself from your home.
Step Three – Clean Out and Home Staging
Once you have hired an agent to list your Washington DC real estate, taken care of anything your home inspector uncovered and set a reasonable price, it's time to get the property ready. Starting from the inside and moving all the way out to the yard, you need to clean out most of your personal items and make the property shine.
Repaint rooms in neutral colors, clear away clutter and clean out your closets. Rent a storage unit to hold your out of season clothing, seasonal equipment and other unnecessary items. Many professionals recommend removing some of your personal photos and other knick-knacks. This allows potential buyers to easily envision their own family in the home, rather than feeling like a visitor in yours.
Cut the grass and have the garden cleaned up as well, to create an attractive first impression. Wash the siding and clean the windows for maximum visual impact for all visitors, whether they attend an open house or come by for a private showing. The outside of your home is just as important as the inside – tidy up the yard, even when selling your home in the winter.
By following these three easy steps, you can expect to sell your Washington DC real estate quickly. Hire professionals to help you out, set a good price and clean up the property for potential buyers. Your hard work will surely pay off.

But after a couple of minutes the screen would get very distorted with black and white horizontal lines; there is a static sound as well. During this time of distortion I cannot do anything with the TV, either manually or with the remote. I have to wait for the TV to eventually turn off on its own. When it automatically shuts off, I cannot turn it back on at all.
The only way to fix this is to unplug the AC cord from the back of the TV and wait about 60 seconds to plug it up. Once I turn the set back on, it repeats the same thing over and over. I hope someone cane help. Thanks!

I may get my looked at by a repair shop and see how much they say it will cost to fix. If its to much I'll just replace it. It came with the house when I purchased it and I can see why.

The #orioles have acquired RHP Gabriel Ynoa (pronounced ya-know-ah) from the New York Mets in exchange for cash considerations.
— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) February 10, 2017
To make room for Ynoa on the 40-man roster, Francisco Peña has been designated for assignment. #orioles
— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) February 10, 2017
Francisco Pena DFA is a bit surprising, but Duquette said #orioles have good catching depth. And Pena is out of options.
— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) February 10, 2017
While this move may not jump out as a big one, it is a nice little trade that Dan Duquette pulled off to add bullpen/starting pitching depth, while giving up nothing. Ynoa had a career 3.36 ERA in the minors, while starting 128 out of his career 136 games. He was unsuccessful after making his major league debut with the Mets last year, posting a 6.38 ERA in his 10 appearances.
But what's jumping out to O's fans is that catcher Francisco Pena was DFA'd. Matt Wieters remains unsigned, and is looking for a job just days before pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training. I think Wieters would be crazy to accept a back up role, given that he'd hit free agency again next year after likely playing only a couple games a week this season, and would have even less bargaining power next offseason than he did this one. And even if he accepted a back up role, Wieters would be an expensive back up, and one the O's probably wouldn't shell out any money for, even on a one year deal.
It's very unlikely the Pena DFA move means anything about Wieters, because the move kind of made sense anyway given that the team wasn't going to carry three catchers, and Pena was out of options, but maybe, just maybe, there's a little more to it.

C|Net: Apple Patches 10.3, Leaves 10.2 Users Out In The Cold
C|Net: Apple Patches 10.3, Leaves 10.2 Users Out In The Cold
by , 8:00 AM EST, October 30th, 2003
Apple has produced a very stable, very secure operating system in OS X, but what happens when a new version comes out, like the recent OS X 10.3? According to an article at C|Net, OS X 10.2 users have been denied a security update, while users of the hot-off-the-presses version of the operating system were promptly given an update. The article also suggests that Apple may not be planning on offering much support for Jaguar, even on security issues that affect the OS. From C|Net:
On Tuesday, Apple released an advisory that indicate that the Mac OS X 10.3 upgrade--which adds an improved Finder menu, better synchronization of files and a tool to help users find a specific window on a crowded desktop--also includes more than a dozen "security enhancements."
However, Apple apparently doesn't intend to fix the flaws in previous versions of the software: Apple's Security Updates Web page doesn't list fixes for the flaws in Mac OS X 10.2 and earlier.
"It is not a friendly thing to tell your customers to shell out a lot of money to stay secure," said Thor Larholm, senior researcher for software security firm PivX Solutions. "It would be a dangerous precedent, if they did."
Apple declined comment.
You can read the full article at C|Net's Web site. Another article at eWeek has more details on the exact nature of the security holes, how they work, and how they can be taken advantage of by the bad guys.
The Mac Observer Spin:Let us first make it clear that Apple has not said it will not support Jaguar. C|Net's article says that Apple has not yet provided a security fix for Jaguar for a problem that has been fixed in Panther. The article also points out that some other problems remain unfixed in Jaguar, but any conjecture that this is a matter of policy is at this point just that, conjecture.
Don't misunderstand us; this is a very important issue. Apple simply has to support an operating system that is barely one year old. Jaguar is likely to remain the OS of choice for a couple of million users, including those who will never upgrade (most normal computer users never upgrade their OS until or unless they buy a new machine), and those who simply feel no need to upgrade as of yet. Jaguar was a paid OS, and its users have a reasonable right to know that new security issues will be fixed in a timely answer. This is both a professional and ethical issue.
Many users have already pointed out that Microsoft typically supports an OS for five years, and we think that such a policy is indeed reasonable. Apple should do the same thing, or something close, and perhaps it will. Again, we simply do not yet know what Apple's intentions are in this regard.
One thing is certain, however; until Apple's policy is made clear, it is up to Apple's paying customer base to let the company know what it expects. No support after just one year is simply not acceptable. Hopefully, this will end up being much ado about nothing, with Apple fully intending to continue support for Jaguar.

For Immediate Release, February 29, 2008
Contact: Michael Robinson, (575) 534-0360
Bush Administration Refuses to Protect the Last American Jaguars,
Driving Conservation Group to Court
SILVER CITY, N.M.— The Center for Biological Diversity issued a 60-day notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today over the agency's decision not to recover an endangered species native to the United States, the jaguar, in violation of the Endangered Species Act. The notice is required to allow the federal agency one last chance to comply with the law.
"Jaguars evolved in North America, and their recovery in our country is part of recovering our damaged ecosystems," said Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity. "They are beautiful animals that help keep the balance of nature, and preventing their extinction involves helping them reclaim the homelands from which our government exterminated them."
On January 7, 2008, in response to an active Center for Biological Diversity lawsuit seeking a recovery plan and critical habitat for the jaguar, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service director H. Dale Hall signed a "determination" that developing a recovery plan for the jaguar — as required by the Endangered Species Act — would not promote the conservation of the species. This decision effectively mooted a recovery-plan claim in an ongoing, two-part suit by the Center based on the fact that the government has unreasonably delayed recovery planning and protection of critical habitat. The "unreasonable delay" claim will shortly be replaced by a new lawsuit that specifically takes issue with the Bush administration's decision not just to delay a recovery plan but to abandon its responsibility to recover the majestic, shy cat.
The government's January decision awkwardly and inappropriately attempts to fit a narrow loophole in regulations under the Endangered Species Act that permit the agency not to develop a recovery plan for species whose "historic and current ranges occur entirely under the jurisdiction of other countries" (emphasis added).
Jaguars' historic range in the United States has been extensively documented in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Jaguar sightings and physical remains have also been reported in Colorado, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. In addition, American Indian artifacts depicting jaguars have been found in Alabama and Missouri. The jaguar's current range comprises a small portion of southern Arizona and New Mexico.
In June 2007, more than 500 members of the American Society of Mammalogists met in Albuquerque and unanimously passed a resolution calling on the Fish and Wildlife Service to develop a recovery plan for the jaguar. The resolution concluded that "Habitats for the jaguar in the United States, including Arizona and New Mexico, are vital to the long-term resilience and survival of the species, especially in response to ongoing climate change."
The Bush administration decision also claims that "actions taken within the United States are likely to benefit a small number of individual jaguars peripheral to the species, with little potential to affect recovery of the species as a whole" and that conservation plans outside the United States are adequate to recover the species.
"If this same logic had applied historically, there never would have been a recovery plan bringing gray wolves back to Yellowstone or the Gila wilderness," said Robinson.
The rationale is also contradicted by the decision's own admission that conservation plans outside the United States "have thus far fallen short in stemming the decline of the jaguar." Directly undermining its own assertion that a recovery plan cannot facilitate conservation of an international species is the fact that the Fish and Wildlife Service issued an international recovery plan for the whooping crane in March 2007.
Robinson added: "If the United States can work across borders to develop an international recovery plan for the whooping crane, why can't it do so for the jaguar? Could it be because the Bush administration is dead set on walling off the U.S.-Mexico border."
Circumventing controversy over the ongoing construction, without environmental review, of walls along the U.S.-Mexico border — including an area where a jaguar has been confirmed living in the United States for over 10 years now — may also be behind the decision not to recover the species. Jaguar recolonization of the United States from Mexico will be short-circuited by the wall.
Through most of the twentieth century, the federal government poisoned, trapped, and pursued with hunting hounds jaguars in the United States, implementing a policy that all should be killed. The Fish and Wildlife Service killed the last female jaguar confirmed in the United States in 1963, in the Apache National Forest of Arizona. After the jaguar was listed as an endangered species outside the country under authority of the 1969 precursor to the current Endangered Species Act, due to unregulated hunting of thousands of jaguars every year, the Fish and Wildlife Service began issuing "hardship permits" to safari companies to allow their American clients to import jaguar pelts into the United States.
On July 25, 1979, the Fish and Wildlife Service published a Federal Register rule stating that through an "oversight" the jaguar was not listed as an endangered species in the United States when the list of foreign endangered species authorized under the precursor Act was used as a template in creation of the list authorized in the current Act. The agency pledged to "take action as quickly as possible" to list the jaguar domestically, but failed to follow through until the Center for Biological Diversity sued the agency in 1996 to compel action. As a result, the jaguar became an officially endangered species in the United States in July 1997. But the Fish and Wildlife Service failed to develop a recovery plan or designate critical habitat for the jaguar.
In June 1999, the Service authorized its sister agency, the Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services, to "take" (ie. kill or injure) a jaguar as long as the taking occurred inadvertently in the course of trying to kill other species of wildlife.

Information to ask for on a consumer feedback form includes the name and product identification number for the product the consumer is reviewing, if available, as well as what the consumer wants to change about it and how she heard about the company and product. It should also ask for demographic information to help classify to which user segment the consumer belongs.Continue Reading
Consumer feedback forms allow companies to collect valuable information about a service or product from actual customers, which in turn allows the company to make modifications and alterations to its operation to better match the needs of its users. It is important for these forms to ask the consumer to identify the product, service or other aspect of the company for which the customer is giving the feedback. This ensures the feedback goes to the appropriate department or managers. The form should also ask the consumer to identify how satisfied she is with the product, typically through a quantitative scale to allow for statistical analysis.
The form can also contain several similar sections that focus on specific aspects of the product and the consumer's reaction to it. Another important question to ask on these forms is what the consumer would change about the product. This often appears as a free response section so that the consumer can give detailed, specific feedback. The form also needs to track factors about the consumer such as age, location, income range and ethnicity.Learn more about Customer Service
