Food Scientists Fighting Hunger, One Sandwich at a Time
Today on Taste & See I'm starting a new feature that aims to introduce inspiring, innovative individuals that are making a difference in the world of food, nutrition, health, and more - #gamechangers. What better way to start off than with an epic story about a group of students who have developed a product that aims to play a role in alleviating hunger amongst the poor in South Africa.
What is a Food Scientist?
Before I continue, let me fill those of you in who might not be sure of what food scientists actually do. Food scientists fill a number of different of roles within the food-production and agricultural sector. A food science graduate is equipped with the knowledge to work in food processing and production, quality management, food safety, packaging and new product development, food science research, as well as food labeling, amongst other things [1].
Depending on your specific job, as a food scientist you are likely to [2]:
Develop innovative new products that can be manufactured on a large scale
Modify and reformulate existing products to make them healthier, more cost-effective, or tastier
Design the manufacturing processes required to make products on a large scale, as part of a team along with others such as engineers and factory managers
Develop and manage the food quality and safety management programme within a food production facility in order to guarantee the quality and safety of food products
Why not take a look at this cool interactive map that highlights some of the job opportunities that are out there for food scientists?
To be a good food scientist you'll probably need [2]:
An aptitude for mathematics and science
An interest in food production and preparation
Attention to detail
The ability to work with very strict health and hygiene rules
Good time management
Good communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a multidisciplinary team
Good problem-solving skills
Game-changing Food Scientists
Now onto the story about our #gamechangers for today. Today I'd like to introduce you to an amazing group that I had the opportunity to study alongside during the course of my BSc Food Science degree at the University of Stellenbosch. As already mentioned, this group has developed an innovative, more nutritious alternative to chocolate spread or peanut butter with the aim of "...fighting hunger one tub at a time!". They recently represented South Africa at the IUFoST conference in Dublin, Ireland, and placed second in the "Food Science Students Fighting Hunger" competition for this amazing product. Read ahead for a bit more information about where the idea for the product came from, the journey that they've been on, and what is in store for them in the future!
All parents struggle to find appealing food that is also healthy for their children, but this young group of food scientists has cracked it. After months of trials and reformulation, they have developed a low-cost chocolate spread imitation with amazing nutritional value. This tasty invention is a great example of stealth health, but also buck's the trend of the cheaper alternative being the least healthy option. The Stellenbosch University team's final year project had a specific focus on providing lower-income families a way to feed their kids healthy food at school and at home. However, due to its convenience, we're betting higher income parents will also be queuing for S'coolBeans' delicious goodness.
The main ingredients of the spread include fermented red speckled beans and sweet potatoes, which means it is high in protein and dietary fibre, low in sodium and enriched with vitamins & minerals. Additionally, the sugar content is low relative to other alternatives on the market. Other than being catchy the product represents something much bigger, which is tailored South African innovation, in other words, students who are developing products that fulfill a need in the market. In this case, the product addresses a major social concern in addition to being innovative. A new era has entered the tertiary education paradigm. Universities will need to set their focus beyond merely producing publications and graduates, and venture into the production of intellectual property, world-class technology, and services. Ultimately this creates ongoing funding for academic activities, and more importantly, this kind of innovation leads to the birth of high-quality entrepreneurs that will provide jobs through the businesses they create. All of which is sorely needed in South Africa. The S'coolBeans team is a success story of this process and were mentored by Stellenbosch's Technology Transfer Office (TTO), known as INNOVUS as well as receiving funding from the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA).
Their success and the simplicity of their product shows that young South Africans can turn dreams and ideas into real products and real income opportunities. The S'coolBeans Team and their nutritious and delicious spread were shortlisted as finalists in the International Union of Food Science and Technology's (IUFoST) "Food Science Students Fighting Hunger" product development competition in Dublin, August 2016. The competition was strong with nine teams competing from all over the world, mainly from developing countries. The team placed overall second place and are making waves with this innovative spread.

Work. Real work. The stuff that actually pays. Not something I talk a lot about. But lets talk it for a second.
Work is stressful. Hard? Perhaps not. Challenging? People are challenging. My work demands that I sit politely while people try their best to tear my ideas apart. And I'm ok with that. For the most part. But it wears you down. Essentially, work requires that I'm "ahead of the curve", so being challenged isn't about telling others that they're wrong, or finding out that I'm wrong. It boils down to slowing down to teach others and bring them up to speed. To pull them ahead of the curve. I swear though, some people seem to want to be behind.
Flex, roll, adapt. If you want to work in IT, you need to always be ready to do so, even at the 11th hour.
In more positive news, this feedback for Feathers Fall made me smile – because deep down, it told me I'd nailed the story:
Ok so you got me… I cried. Not just a few tears, mind you, but outright sobs. I found myself so emotionally attached to the characters!
Beautifully written, Ben. Thankyou for writing this story. X
That feels good.

A show with Ze Frank
Back in the middle ages of the web -- you know, 2006 -- when online video was still a bit of novelty, a guy named Ze Frank did something that was crazy for that time: he produced a short online show every weekday for a year. The result -- The Show with Ze Frank -- was weird/entertaining/goofy/thoughtful/collaborative/funny and covered everything from current events to the creative process. It helped define the "person looking into a camera, jump cut, quick cut" online video genre. And it was great.
As it happens, Ze is from Guilderland. He went to Guilderland High School. As he mentioned in one of the episodes of the show: "I was very popular in high school and very good at the sports. Just thinking about how popular I was makes me want to throw up." After graduating, Ze went to Brown, studied neuroscience, played in a band, and became wildly internet famous for a series of video clips of him dancing (including a form of dance "first explored by yours truly at the Senior Prom in 1989 in Guilderland, NY"). So, pretty much like everyone else you went to school with.
Anyway, the point of all this is that Ze Frank has decided to produce another show. And after posting a Kickstarter project yesterday to help fund it, he raised more than $60,000 in about 12 hours.
He's says he's planning to start posting episodes around the end of March. We can't wait.
One of the classic episodes of The Show is embedded after the jump -- "Brain Crack"...
Watching his former web show was likely the closest I have ever come to following something with religious-like zeal (besides reading AOA, of course). My favorite episodes involved a string of days watching him travel to and explore Cannes, France.
This is very exciting news.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Recently my friends, Stella and Leslie and I attended the opening of Morgan Brig's latest work at the Patricia Rovzar Gallery in Seattle. Her work is just extraordinary and I am a huge fan. You just want to touch each one and inspect it. Luckily, she was with us part of the time so we could do just that and ask her questions. The scale of some of these pieces are much larger than you can imagine when you look at promotional materials.
I Shine A Little More Brightly - huge. Just magnificent.
And then there was this!
Here it is with Morgan so you can see the scale of it. Love the ballerina at the top!
Her grids of sculptures took our breaths away. So much detail in each piece. Just amazing. We could have stayed for hours and looked at each one.
Loved this sweet little piece.
Love the ears on this one. Hard to take a picture and not get the shadows.
Love the details on this one. Hmmm, I have some eyes from Oaxaca!
The show is open until the end of the month. It's just down the street from the Seattle Art Museum. Give yourself a gift and go see this show!
Ideas are swirling around in my head for the creations we will be making in September with Morgan. SO Looking forward to this workshop!

How does one choose the right career path? There is no denying that there are diverse options available to leave us confused and scared. Engineering, Medicine, Economics or…? Which stream if Engineering? Nobody has a proper answer to these questions and most certainly not me. The one thing that was clear was that I wanted to fall in love with anything I choose, day in and day out. The intention was to be crystal clear with my inner self which is what will drive me the extra mile. With all these mind-baffling questions, I set out on an adventure to find the right answer to the most important question to me – "What will I do after graduation?" It is said that "The tea tastes good, only when it's prepared keeping in mind the person's likes" and the quest for my cup of tea had begun.
My principles were simple. "If you do what you love, there isn't any scope of getting tired". This quote is relatable to most of us. As a kid, I loved playing cricket. I would always be ready to play another time even if the first one had drained me completely. I could push myself the extra mile any time and this came from the love for the sport. Similarly, the main motto was to decide my career path keeping my core strength in mind which was – Mathematics. Then began the exploring; through the easiest means of information – Google. This made me realize that the internet is a vast ocean of data and to dig through this data manually would require a few lifetimes. This thought kindled the desire to figure out a ray of light amidst the ocean of darkness. This was my discovery of Data Science. You may now ask "How Data Science?"
While browsing, I came across the concept of factor tree. It was initially disturbing as there was a lot of Statistics involved. This built up the eagerness to crack it as if it were a puzzle and I started climbing up and down the tree. While I did that, there were a lot of ideas blazing in my head and the tree now looked like a strategy for a company. The more I learnt about this and some related topics, I developed a very keen interest in Data Science. It was a perfect blend of Statistics and solving puzzles using computer programming languages. After a lot of introspection, I concluded that this was indeed my cup of tea. I buckled up all the eagerness and anxiety and set out on the data-filled journey. This was the career path that I unknowingly figured out for myself.
But of course, wanting to do and actually doing are two different extremes of the story. The two ends can only be connected only with determination and persistence. This pleasure of pursuing what I really wanted to do, came to me when I got the opportunity of joining the Enquero team. The perfect opportunity was given to me, where I could not only portray my current skills but also add more relevant tools and technologies to my arsenal. We at Enquero believe in making ideas real. And I can definitely say it made mine!
In conclusion, I would say – To thrive at something, you need to have the belief. To hold on to your belief, you need to have the passion. But for all of this to fall into place you need to have the right platform. So, have you found your right platform yet?

Newport Council is to review proposals to implement new limitations on taxi licensing after its original plans were overturned by a court.
The authority had originally planned to impose new regulations which would prevent vehicles which are more than 12 years old from being used as hackney carriages, reports the South Wales Argus.
Applications for taxi licences would also have had to be submitted within five years of a vehicle's registration with the DVLA.
However, the High Court in Cardiff has deemed that these plans had not been made with due consideration of hackney drivers' response.
The move has been welcomed by a number of local cabbies, with Tariq Tufail of Maindee telling the newspaper: "It's a relief [as] the decision would have put my vehicle off the road and me out of a job."
Last week, the Advertiser reported that a taxi driver in Norwich had won approval to use a new-style Peugeot E7 as a hackney carriage after lobbying the local authority for three years.

The latest casualty figures in the ancient war of man versus beast in Africa are in, and they look bad for both sides.
At least 25,000 elephants may have been slaughtered in Africa in 2011 — more than in any year since reporting began in 2002 — according to Kenneth Burnham, the statistician for Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants, an intergovernmental research agency.
Hundreds of humans have also died as a result of the elephant slaughter — not just from scattered maulings or tramplings, but from bullets fired by other humans fighting on the animals' behalf.
Since the 1980s, under the mantle of conservation efforts and with funding from the European Union, governments, NGOs and private associations, African park guards have fought a rarely discussed low-level war against poachers. The conflict is becoming increasingly militarized, with both poachers and anti-poachers each justifying their belligerence as a response to the other's.
In the Central African Republic, where I am conducting research on governance in a conflict zone, the anti-poaching war has been especially brutal. In remote parklands, far from public scrutiny, park rangers and militias led by foreign mercenaries, safari guides and French soldiers on a cooperation mission for the government have been fighting a dirty war on behalf of the elephants.Continue reading the main story
It is difficult to know exactly how many people have died. Groups that support anti-poaching efforts might count the number of guards who fall in the line of duty, but not the poachers dispatched to hidden bush graves. The reports I've seen for the E.U.-funded anti-poaching project in the Central African Republic, when they refer to the bloody effects of their work at all, give conflicting figures and make only passing reference to the number of people "neutralized" — or place the category "men" in the column labeled "animals killed."
Some anti-poaching guards claim to have killed hundreds of poachers. In a particularly macabre case from 2007 in a remote northeastern part of the Central African Republic, a dozen anti-poachers mutilated the bodies of the handful of poachers they killed under the watch of a heavy-handed mercenary who led the bush war in Central Africa in 2005-2007. Witnesses told me they saw human limbs hanging from tree branches.
Meanwhile, the slaughter of elephants continues. In and around the Zakouma National Park in southeastern Chad, the E.U. has funded park guards to battle hunters and nomadic herders in their violent anti-poaching efforts. Unable to effectively control the 3,000-square-kilometer area, they focused on specific elephant refuge zones. It didn't work. In 2006, 3,000 elephants were believed to live in the area; two years later, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society, only 1,000 were left. A colleague of mine who did research there last year found fewer than 500.
Anti-poachers further demonize poachers by describing them as rapacious foreigners. Yet locals are often complicit. In Central Africa, familiar fiends like the Lord's Resistance Army or the Janjaweed militias are cited as the primary killers of elephants, and the ivory is said to be exported through Sudan to China. But less-obvious conduits are important as well. Much of Zakouma's ivory, for instance, appears to be harvested by Chadians and Cameroonians and carried not east to Sudan but west through Chad and into Cameroon and Nigeria. And though anti-poaching guards are rarely accused of participating in the ivory trade, they are frequently caught trading in bushmeat for local markets.
What can be done? Participatory approaches to conservation have had some success, at least in zones that aren't militarized. Beginning with Zimbabwe's Campfire (Communal Areas Management Program for Indigenous Resources) in the 1980s, revenues generated through wildlife management and conservation, such as tourist and sport-hunting taxes, were handed to the communities bordering the protected zones.
The idea was that if people had a financial stake in preserving animal populations, they would take the initiative to stop hunters. These efforts resulted in fewer deaths. According to Campfire, both elephant and human populations in these areas doubled between 1990 and 2003. (Independent analyses have noted, however, that the program was more coercive and less profitable for communities than its backers acknowledged.)
In areas with endemic violence and ineffective governments, like Central Africa, repressive strategies are more common. The only wildlife conservation that has succeeded has been by accident.
Conservationists had feared that Sudan's protracted civil war would decimate wildlife in the South's verdant savannahs, swamps and forests. But a survey by the Wildlife Conservation Society after the 2005 peace agreement revealed that in inaccessible enclaves, some animal populations, especially gazelles and antelopes but also elephants, had in fact flourished.
Unfortunately, the geographic and circumstantial factors that allowed this are impossible to replicate. The animals of South Sudan found a natural refuge in the swamps of Sudd to the east of the Nile which are impassible by humans.
The prospects for ending poaching in war zones through human management are slim. The only way to reduce both the slaughter of elephants and related human killings is to reduce demand for ivory. And that's a very tall order.
A P.R. campaign displaying gruesome photos of elephant carcasses would likely have limited effect in China, Thailand and the Philippines — the countries that drive the demand for ivory. Demand there is driven by religious beliefs, including, among many Catholics and Buddhists, the notion that ivory honors God.
Strengthening the international legal architecture would also be difficult, given the major profits that the Chinese government, among others, draws from the trade. Only sales of ivory harvested after 1989 are banned — a criterion that is easy to fake.
But curbing the demand for ivory is, in the end, the only way to curb both elephant and human deaths.

The carburetors on new Echo chain saws come adjusted from the factory. However, due to different environmental factors, such as altitude, the carburetors may not stay properly set for long. When that happens, even a newer chain saw will need its carburetor adjusted. However, Echo recommends running the chain saw through at least two full tanks of gas before adjusting the carburetor. Overadjusting the carburetor on a new saw can also lead to serious engine damage, with the potential to ruin your new saw.
Things You'll Need
- Screwdriver
- Brush
- Approved fuel container
- Fresh Echo chain saw fuel
- Small screwdriver
- Tachometer
Video of the Day
Unscrew the top cylinder cover on the Echo chain saw, using the screwdriver. Take the cover off and pull the air filter element off the saw. Brush off the air filter element to make sure it's clean.
Open the approved fuel container and mix up a fresh batch of chain saw fuel, using a 50-to-1 ratio of gas to two-cycle oil. Close the container and shake up the contents. Fill the Echo's tank with the gas.
Place the Echo on a spot of ground where the chain won't contact anything during carburetor adjustment. Start and run the chain saw at a high idle for several minutes to warm it up.
Remove the grommet covers from the low- and high-speed carburetor screws, on the side of the engine. Connect the tachometer to the spark plug wire.
Let the engine idle and check the reading. Adjust the low-speed screw with the small screwdriver until it idles between 2,700 and 3,300 rpm.
Depress the throttle until it is wide open, then check the reading. Adjust the high-speed screw clockwise or counterclockwise until it reaches 10,500 to 11,500 rpm.
Turn the low-speed screw clockwise until the chain starts to spin. Rotate the screw back counterclockwise until the chain stops. Position the low-speed screw to the highest rpm before the chain starts to spin.
Depress the throttle again and make sure the chain saw transfers smoothly from idle to high speed. Check the high-speed and low-speed readings again to make sure they fall within the speed parameters. Readjust as necessary.

Hello! My name is Jude.
I started this blog to help you with achieving your goals of advancing your career and reaching financial freedom. I am not a financial professional (yet), but I have already taken many steps towards making that official. That said, here are some of the roles that I play in my life right now.
A raketero. This is exactly why I believe I have the relevant experience to talk about hustling and being raketero. As a young boy, I have always been enterprising. I inherited it from my parents. When I was in elementary, I used to decline the allowance that my parents give me (which they get from our small business), then engage in buy-and-sell in school, and use my earnings as my daily allowance. Now, I still do side-hustles freelancing and buying-and-selling things, while keeping a day job.
A working professional. Just like the people that I dedicate this blog for, I am an employee who works 8 hours a day, for a monthly salary. I work full-time for the shared service arm of a large multinational that provides information and analytics for professionals and businesses across many industries. I understand how challenging it is for a normal, non-elite, non-privileged person to chase financial freedom and climb that proverbial career ladder.
A breadwinner. Who isn't, right? As Filipinos, being part of the Sandwich Generation has become normal (or even a default) and is a vicious cycle that has trapped (or continues to trap) many of us. I believe in devotedly supporting our families, but I also believe in working towards breaking that cycle of dependency.
A manager. On top of nurturing my own, I have also been managing the work and developing careers of other people for some years now. I have seen how handful types of people deal with career progression and struggle with job institutionalization. I have seen (and helped) some of them rise and succeed in their areas of specialization, in their respective organizations. I have seen some of them settle, seemingly satisfied with what they are already doing and earning.
A son. My parents are very enterprising and industrious people, who influenced me early on. Both of them came from very meager beginnings, but they worked very hard to release themselves from those conditions. Their stories of their enterprise in their childhood have always inspired me to work for a better lifestyle not just for myself but for my family.
A partner. One of the reasons why I started finding and setting up multiple streams of income is because I am preparing to get married to my beautiful fiancée. Most of my exposure to financial planning is because of my exploration of alternative and additional ways of increasing my income to prepare for our wedding day and family life.
It's just me doing all the content for this blog right now, but anyone who shares the same advocacy and would like to contribute content here is more than welcome to do so.

In fact, there are fishing prizes in a variety of tournament placements, including a 2014 Ford F150 for 150th place, a 2014 Ford F-150 at 900th place, a Lund 1875 Impact with a Mercury 150hp motor for the 400th place winner and a 1650 Rebel XL Sport with a Mercury 90hp motor for the 600th place winner.
There's also a raffle where entrants can win $3,000 cash, two Honda Foreman 500 ATVs and more.
Everyone who fishes Lake Winnebago is in for a treat regardless of what kind of luck they have on the ice.
Lake Winnebago is a simply outstanding place for ice fishing. It's the largest freshwater lake entirely within a U.S. State. It had a maximum depth of 21 feet and covers more than 137,000 acres.
The lake is known internationally for its fantastic freshwater fishing.
Battle on Bago tickets cost $30. You can weigh one fish per fishing ticket of any of the following species: walleye (minimum length 12"), pan fish (perch, bluegills, crappies), or white bass. More information about the rules and completion details can be found here. Information on where to buy tickets can be found here.

This venue transports you to the French countryside right here in the back alleys of New Jersey! Speaking with the owners, I learned that they purchased the materials to construct the buildings from France, had them flown in and re-constructed them on their property in Pottersville. To say that you can have a little slice of France right in your back yard is an understatement. From the beautiful brick to the lush greenhouse this venue is one for the books!

There are people who come visiting the residence to just have dinner or a lunch at the shared table. Here, the local blueberry farmer sits next the sound artist from Vienna, and in front there is an old Spanish writer whispering something to a radiant girl from Brazil. Today for lunch there is homemade pasta and deep fried zucchini flowers , for the dinner we'll served Peruvian stuffed potatoes, and tomorrow a hot Russian borsch with a shot of chilly and honey vodka.
When the stone oven is fired up, another sacred ritual begins. The dough was started the night before and energetically kneaded the next morning. A part of it is for pizza, the rest for bread and for farinata, Ligurian flat cake from chickpea flour. It's waiting for its turn. Local shamans teach us how to relate to the fire. When the smoke crosses the sun, and the red-hot brick vault turns white, you can load the first pizza. Then, when everybody is full, it is time to count the stars. While the bread is still cooking, by the fire, the musicians are already jamming .

Once considered as a commodity of luxury, now with the evolution of time, highly upgraded mobile phone or smartphone has just become a necessity. Every year, rather every day, even every minute, technology is evolving rapidly and there is something new and innovative in each launched smartphone.
Be it hardware quality or specifications or highly upgraded tech features, mobile manufacturers are making the smartphones more and more powerful every passing day.
Let's check out, what all mobile manufacturing companies have in their bags in the form of latest mobile phones to offer the users, in 2017:
- Samsung Galaxy S8 –
Samsung's claim "the camera is so fast and accurate that you won't miss a moment, day or night" seems legitimate due to 12 mp rear and 8 mp front camera. Priced at around Rs 57,900, with some mind-blowing designs and themes, advanced features like DeX, Bixby, new Gear VR or the Gear 360 and astonishing new display, 4GB RAM & 64/128 GB internal memory and Quad HD+ display, Samsung will once again aim to gain the top position in smartphone market.
- Apple IPhone 8 –
2017 is the year of 10th anniversaries; first IPL; now IPhone. With rumours like placement of Touch ID either at back of IPhone or inside display only,or may be something like scrapping of volume rocker buttons, not much can be confirmed about the smartphone, but with features like wireless charging, iris, facial, or gesture recognition, it is going to give a tough competition to Samsung.
- Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 –
China is known for creating standards, and Xiaomi is no exception. With more than 80% bezel free and a giant 6.4 inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Octa Core 64 Bit Processor, 6 GB RAM & 256 GB mammoth internal memory, 12 MP dual rear shooter cameras, this smartphone is going to create a buzz for sure. With inbuilt enormous memory, even "No SD Card Support" will not create any difference.
- OnePlus 5–
OnePlus, the new Chinese sensation, is coming with a new smartphone OnePlus 5. With specifications including Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, 23 mp rear camera 8 GB RAM, and dash charge technology (100% in less than half an hour), it will again give a good option to the tech-friendly users.
- Nokia 8 –
The oldest and once the undisputed king of mobile market, Nokia is all set to make a comeback with its power packed smartphone Nokia 8. With 24 MP rear, 6 GB RAM, 64/128 GB internal memory, around 4000 mah battery and a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, Nokia is ready to announce its massive comeback in the smartphone market.
Expected to be the first HTC device with Qualcomm SoC, and rumoured to have 12 MP rear camera and 6 GB RAM, HTC 11 is going to be controlled by 'Sense Touch' technology.
Due to lot of rumours and leaked reports hitting the internet, actual comparisons can only be made when these smartphones are launched, but one thing which sure is the fact – they'll transform the world completely!! In comments, tell us about the mobile phone you are most eagerly waiting for. Also do not miss to check out Tata Cliqcoupons for best offers.

____ Learning through training is cheaper.
About the Trainer: Mark Fedderson became a full time real estate investor in 2001. He started by rehabbing the properties which he always bought, because they were never on MLS, from individual sellers – who called him. He didn't want to compete with the 100's of other investors who were 'working the MLS' for deals. He built up his own full time rehab crew. He has since also wholesaled more than 100 homes, and has grown his operation to become a Hard Money Lender. He has a passion to share what he has learned with others. He spent thousands of dollars on "guru" seminars and programs, but he came to feel that much of what they taught him had 'lots holes in it' or just muddied up the waters. His mission today is to present truly useful and valid information – the real picture and actual proven techniques.

Why Are Urgent Care Express Centers Becoming So Popular in the US
It is no secret that the American healthcare system is overloaded. Costs are skyrocketing as more and more patients flood into our emergency rooms. Our doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals are doing what they can to stay ahead of the rising tide but are finding themselves severely outmatched.
For Americans looking for an improved healthcare experience, there are urgent care express medical centers. An increasing number of American patients are seeking help for their medical needs at their local urgent care centers. Here's why.
- More Attentive Patient Care
If you were to ask a friend or a family member if they have had trouble being seen by their doctor for an emergency, chances are at least half of them would say yes. The fact is that primary care phy
What to Know About Commercial Printers in DC
Inside your own home, setting up a personal printer is easy. You plug in a few cables, install some software, and boom! Instant access to printing out documents, travel tickets, receipts and so forth.
But if you are a business, particularly a small business still struggling to find its financial footing, printing is a bit more complicated. Businesses need documents, of course, and a small printer can handle minor tasks like that. When it comes to printing out large posters, colorful brochures or other complex media items, a tiny, desk-mounted laser printer just will not satisfy.
This is when you have to call in the big guns. Luckily, there are tons of printing companies in Washington DC that help equip you
The Intriguing History of Three Items You Might See Every Day
How closely have you examined the desks and chairs around you, if you're in an office? There is a rich and interesting history to many of the things around us that you would never know unless you chose to look a bit deeper, underneath the curtain that often separates us from seeing plain objects as tools that have a history as old as human civilization.
Manufacturing tools and devices, for example, often come off as cold, metallic, and uninteresting to the average layman. And yet, some of them are actually quite fascinating. Here are three little known stories of the bits and pieces of industrial mechanics you walk past every day.
1. Magnets
Imagine for a moment you are in ancient China and notice that a magnetite metal, known as lodestone, attracts iron. This is the first recorded notatio
The More You Know, the Better Your Purchasing Power Will Be
You've heard it, read it, seen it a dozen times, but the adage is true. Knowledge is power. The more information you know about your standard, industrial supplies, the better your purchasing power. So, for your benefit, here's some handy info to make you a smarter shopper!
Rubber Grommets.
Rubber grommets are made out of the resilient material to bounce back when it's put under pressure. Rubber grommets are used to prevent the ripping, tearing, or abrasion of the pierced material. These rubber grommets are used to cover the sharp edges of the piercing. Many rubber grommets are used in desks and the like.

Apple Daily Report: Irish Supreme Court to hear appeal over Apple data center (and more news)/
Since Steve and I can't cover everything, at the end of each week day, we'll offer this wrap-up of news items you should check out.
Ireland: The Supreme Court will sit in Galway next March to hear an appeal over whether An Bord Pleanála breached its legal obligations in how it approved the first phase of Apple's planned €850 million data centre in Athenry.
While Apple isn't proceeding with the project, the court's decision is likely to affect the board's consideration of similar data center developments, per the Irish Times. Due to delays in the approval process, Apple dropped a $1 billion plan to open a data center in Athenry, Ireland, in May.
The Guardian reports that a series of short clips filmed on an iPhone featuring the Scottish countryside from a train window, a T-shirt on a radiator and a cat pawing at a lamp has helped filmmaker Charlotte Prodger win the 2018 Turner prize.
A version of Apple Music with public performance licensing in mind might be coming soon, given that Apple has filed trademark applications for "Apple Music for Business," according to AppleInsider.
Deadline says that Planet of the Apes films star Toby Kebbell has been tapped as the male lead opposite Lauren Ambrose in Apple's upcoming psychological thriller series from M. Night Shyamalan and British TV writer Tony Basgallop.
As noted by MacRumors, Apple has received FCC approval for a nondescript "sleep monitor" "designed by Beddit in California." The tech giant bought Beddit, a company that develops health-related hardware, in May 2017.
Apple has announced on its Chines language site that its HomePod smart speaker will be coming to China early next year. The exact release date wasn't given, but both white and space gray color options of the speaker will be offered at 2,799 yuan ($408) each.

It's a subject through which almost everybody is involved, and about which it is not well mannered to say that anyone concerned just isn't nicely knowledgeable; for, although there are scattered through the world many people that need to begin their own home based enterprise, sorry to say, plenty of them are unable or unwilling to pay for the essential work from home enterprise start up, nevertheless it has never been but heard of anybody of them unable to go judgment or being opinionated on the topic.
Some homeowners are discovering their rates have doubled or tripled in only one yr while others are learning that their coverage has been cancelled by the insurance company which means they must shop for new insurance.

They turn your can't into can. They work with you on all aspects of training and nutrition a complete package and truly make it personal."
Julie S.
"I can't say enough about John and Kristin. They motivate our group with amazing, well rounded, FUN workouts every week. During our workouts, they educate us on fitness & nutrition. They are attentive, non-judgmental and make each of us in the group feel as though we are their only focus. Because they care for you as a whole person (not just fitness), they get to know you & your goals & help you succeed in reaching them. One of my favorite qualities is their ability to recognize that each person is different. From there, they are realistic in their expectations and help each person modify the workout to suit their body, fitness level and expertise...without sacrificing your dignity or missing out on a true fitness session. If you are searching for Personal Trainers, you must give John & Kristin a call!"

Algerian Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia revealed Saturday that the country's reserve of foreign monetary dropped to less than US$80 billion.In a news conference concluding the 6th cycle of the National Council of the Democratic National Rally, he said: "unfortunately, foreign monetary reserves dropped to less than US$80 billion (around US$79.80 billion)".End of November, Algeria's reserves of foreign monetary reached US$82.12 billion compared to US$97.33 billion end of 2017. Financial pressures increased during the past years in Algeria with the drop in global oil prices since the second half of 2014.The occurrences in the global energy markets reflected the country's reserves of foreign monetary that declined sharply from US$192 billion in 2014 to US$108 billion mid-2017. Oil and gas account for 60% of the budget and 94% of total exports revenue. The North African country also increased state spending for 2018 by 25% after a 14% cut in 2017.The government expects the economy to expand by 2.6% this year due to a 1.5% reduction in spending and lower energy revenue projection. Oil and gas earnings should reach US$33.2 billion, down from the US$34.37 billion target for 2018, because of growing domestic consumption.The government is benefiting from a recovery in global crude oil prices but a large proportion of energy revenue is still being used to pay for goods imports due to poor domestic production.

Toxic Antiperspirant Vs Natural Deodorant
Firstly, the difference between Antiperspirant and Deodorant - Antiperspirant inhibits the body's ability to perspire or sweat (this is where aluminium comes into the equation). Deodorant simply absorbs and/or masks perspiration and its smell (body odour).
Antiperspirant, with all its additives, is toxic to our bodies and our minds. So what is in antiperspirant that makes it so bad?....
Aluminium- known to be a neurotoxin so is linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. When absorbed through the skin, people with lowered kidney function may accumulate aluminium in their bodies. High levels of aluminium have been found in breast tumours close to the armpit. As aluminium inhibits perspiration, the body is unable to remove toxins through sweating. This is pretty important seeing as skin is the largest organ of the body. Aluminium has also been linked to bone disease, specifically osteoporosis.
Triclosan - a pesticide which has the potential to cause cancer.
Petrochemicals - can be dangerous to the central nervous system, heart and liver.
Parabens - can mimic oestrogen in the body so is linked to hormone related cancers.
Also, synthetic colours and fragrances, all of which can be linked to either cancer or allergic skin conditions.
So what is the alternative?.....
Non-Toxic Deodorant !!
There are many natural deodorants available but please be sure to check the ingredient listings that no nasties have been added. Your options are generally a water based spray, oil based spray or roll-on, or a paste. My personal journey to find the most effective toxin free deodorant lead me to Black Chicken Axilla Deodorant Paste (and it smells great!!). I'm very happy to be now stocking this fabulous product.
$18.50 for the large jar and $7.99 for the small jar available in the webstore or at Botanical Living Clinic Famborough heights NSW 2526 Australia. Also available for sensitive skin without bi-carb soda $19.50 for the large jar.

I was doing my rounds today and came across a hot Hungarian blonde chick in a broken down car! Cecilia was new to the area and had no friends or family to call for help, so I offered her a ride home. We had a nice chat about our personal lives, and as she was talking, I couldn't stop staring at her beautiful eyes. This was one super sexy MILF! Things got flirty, and I asked if she'd ever had sex in a car, and if she'd like to try with me. Cecilia must like a man in uniform, because she was super turned on. She took my big cock out of my pants and rubbed it with her silky soft hands before giving me an amazing blowjob, then we went back to her place so we could really let our freak flags fly! It's amazing what a uniform and badge can accomplish!

A million therapy tasks, with little wiggle room in your day
Is the idea of therapy daunting for you? If you're just starting your journey with special needs homeschooling, you may be wondering what to expect from therapy. Here's what it's really like to have a kid working with a bunch of therapists.
Speech therapist: "This week I want you to work on smooth sentences using familiar books and poems he can repeat."
Occupational therapist: "I want you to focus on proper pencil grip and calming techniques for meltdowns this week."
Physical therapist: "He needs to work on core strength. Keep working on his animal walks and start doing yoga."

1) Take Frequent Brain Breaks
Many children with special needs have struggles with sensory processing and with a lack of proprioceptive sense. Getting up and moving can help with both of these problems. You're probably familiar with sensory issues but may not have heard of proprioception. Simply put, it is the brain's ability to sense where the body is in relation to things around it. Kids with proprioceptive struggles may seem clumsy, play too rough, and intensely seek (or conversely tend to avoid) gross motor activities.
I don't know if you've ever noticed, but kids (especially those with special needs) can get a bit squirrelly during school. That's why brain breaks are so handy. Brain breaks are when you pause whatever you are working on and get the body moving. As Heather Haupt discusses in her book on the topic, when your kids are getting antsy or losing focus, you should stop for a brain break!
It's all well and good to know the problem, but what should you actually do? Should you just make your kids run laps around the house every few minutes? Well, running laps is an option, but there are things that can help even more. My FAVORITE brain breaks are called animal walks. Gallop like a horse. Walk like a crab. Crawl like an inchworm. Taking frequent breaks for animal walks offers several specific benefits.
- Building limb strength and coordination by moving their bodies in unique ways
- Meeting sensory-seeking needs by getting kids moving
- Improving academic readiness by strengthening the proprioceptive sense
2) The Magic of Music and Rhyme
If you have a child in speech therapy you know how important it is to practice at home. That homework brings about the true change. It can be pretty time consuming, though. Is there an easier way to do it? YES! Through the magic of music and rhyme. Whatever your child's troubles are, music and rhyme can help.
- Signing practices volume and tone control.
- Many nursery rhymes have repeated sounds that make it easy to focus on specific articulation issues.
- The repetition of familiar passages builds fluency.
So how do you do it? Start by choosing 3-4 songs and nursery rhymes to do together as a family. You want short, simple songs. If you're feeling short on ideas, these Preschool Song Cards are a great resource. Even Bible verses can be a great choice. For advice on how to make scripture memorization easy and painless, check out my post on it here.
Do the same songs/rhymes/verses every day for at least a week. Preferably two weeks. It may seem boring to you to do the same songs over and over, but it's what will help the most. Songs that rhyme are especially helpful. Not only will they help with speech difficulties, they can help strengthen your children's reading skills.
3) It's Craft Time
I'm going to be honest with you ladies. I have a MAJOR aversion to kids' crafts. My face gets all twitchy just thinking about the mess they create. I know they are good for my kids, though, so I do them. You should, too.
Arts and crafts can help your kids in SO many ways. Drawing and coloring practice pencil grasp and fine motor strength without the pressure of handwriting practice. Activities with scissors and glue build bilateral coordination. That's a fancy way of saying that someone can use both sides of their body well at the same time. Using different types of materials (soft, smooth, rough, gooey, etc.) can also help kids with SPD. You get the idea. Crafts are GOOD (even if they can be a bit stressful).
If you're worried about your lack of artistic skills, take heart! These don't have to be elaborate projects. You won't need an art degree to help. You also won't need to take out a second mortgage to cover supplies. Keep it simple.
- Something to color with: These Pip-Squeaks are what they suggested for my son's occupational therapy.
- Scissors: Assisted scissors are great for kids still developing their cutting skills.
- Glue: Glue sticks may seem easier, but bottles do more for building motor skills.
- Paper: Whatever kind is cheap and easy to get. Different colors are fun.
- Basic household supplies: food coloring, rice, pasta, shaving cream, etc.
See, nothing crazy or expensive needed. Most of what you need you probably already have buried in your cupboards!
4) Yoga is the New PE
My LEAST FAVORITE class growing up was PE. What I learned most was that if you weren't into sports, exercise wasn't for you. It wasn't until adulthood that I realized that was wrong. That's when I discovered yoga. It turns out yoga is good for much more than relaxation. It's good for the body and good for the brain!
Yoga is the perfect way to get the brain ready for learning. 'Heavy work' (things that push or pull the joints) like yoga builds core strength and the proprioceptive sense. We talked about the importance of the proprioceptive sense earlier. Core strength is also vital to school success. It has a huge impact on handwriting and the ability to focus.
How Do You Combine Yoga and Academics?
I know what you're thinking. How can you possibly fit in daily yoga sessions on top of all your other work!?! It's simple. Incorporate this form of therapy into something you are already doing!
Do you teach or practice spelling? Are your kids learning letters and sounds? This alphabet yoga chart is what we use to do that. Are your kids a bit past the basics? Try composing a story and acting it out with yoga poses like they do on Cosmic Kids Yoga. You could even retell historical events by acting them out with yoga moves!
5) Go Retro with Home Economics
Have you seen those videos with perfectly capable adults who can't do the most basic of tasks? These are 20-somethings who don't know how to bake a potato or do a load of laundry. They're at a complete loss. I don't think ANY of us want that for our children. So what's the solution? Home Economics! Those classes taught many of our parents how to 'adult.'
Many household chores include 'heavy work' that builds the proprioceptive sense. They can also fulfill the needs of sensory seekers. A chore like carrying laundry bags to and from bedrooms is perfect for this. That's what they suggested in occupational therapy to prevent Milo's evening meltdowns. They get the physical work out to regulate their bodies while learning to manage their lives.
I want you to picture yourself baking cooking with your child. As you read through the recipe he is practicing sequencing (and you didn't even need a worksheet). Then as he pours the ingredients into the bowl he is building his coordination and fine-motor skills. Next up is stirring, which requires him to cross the midline (an essential skill for reading and writing). As the cookies bake and cool he must be patient, which is a skill that those with executive function issues struggle with. All that came from just a simple batch of cookies!
Be Creative!
I'm not going to lie. There are times when parenting a child with special needs is HARD. Sometimes it feels like a giant game of whack-a-mole! Like you can't ever keep up with all the issues popping up. It's easy to get overwhelmed! You're going to have to be creative and find ways to add therapy into your daily life. Let's recap how to do that:
- Brain breaks
- Music & rhyme
- Crafts
- Yoga
- Home Ec.
Take a deep breath, relax, and get creative. Don't let therapy be the thing that pushes you over the edge. You CAN do this!

Israel and Palestine have been at war with each other for a few decades now. But the world community still cannot see dawn of peace there. All along, successive US presidents did try to reconcile the conflict between the two of them so that each can have their own independent state and live in peace without disturbing each other.
Unresolved Issues
For years, the United States has worked on this Middle East peace plan that involves mainly the unresolved conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians. But until now, when it is President Obama's turn to handle this Middle East issue, the Obama administration still needs to work hard on it. The present US position is that Washington does not expect that lasting peace can happen between Israel and Palestine right away. But Washington does hope that the two confronting sides can at least return to the negotiation table. It is obvious that the Obama administration is serious in wanting to bring lasting peace to the Middle East. With such a mission in mind, President Obama sent US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the Middle East for such a special trip on 31 October to meet with leaders from both sides with the hope that they will resume the long-suspended peace talks.
Hillary Clinton's Remarks
But Hillary Clinton's effort has failed. Shorting after Hillary Clinton's arrival in Israel, Hillary has made some remarks that did not reflect the real conflicting situation between Israel and Palestine. She said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had offered "unprecedented" concessions on West Bank settlement construction in an effort to restart peace talks. But Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is known to apply tough stance to handle the Palestinians. He also encouraged the Jews to build construction in the Palestinian territory.
If Natanyahu can really offer some "concessions" to the Palestinians on the West Bank settlement construction, it will be a real surprise to hear. In response, the chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat rebuked Hillary Clinton's remarks. He said that "Palestinians expressed deep disappointment and frustration at Clinton's words, which signaled a departure from past US calls for a complete freeze on settlement activity."
Peace Road Map
In 2003, all relevant authorities have already proposed a "Middle East Peace Road Map" that stipulated that Israel should completely freeze building construction on the Palestinian settlements. But the Israeli authority has never accepted such a Middle East Peace Road Map and has continued to ignore world pressure in allowing the Jews to build new homes on the Palestinian settlements. Available figures show that since 2003, new Jewish settlements built on West Bank have increased to 73.000.
The Jews in the United States have a strong influence in US government. This has resulted in the US government and US leaders have all along adopted a Middle East policy either intentionally or unintentionally deemed favoring Israel. This is an indisputable fact. Even President Obama has also followed such a policy path now.
Palestinian Hard-line Attitude
We recall that at the beginning of this year, President Obama has called on Israel to freeze construction of Jewish settlements on West Bank. But later on, President Obama has also softened his tune by explaining vaguely that: "The Israeli side has held a useful meeting to talk about constraints on settlement construction."
Palestine and Israel have history of deep hatred. We understand the hard-line attitude of Palestinians toward the Israelis. It seems to us that the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu must really work double hard and take good courage to make a truly "unprecedented" concession so that we can see some hope that peace talks can resume between Israel and Palestine. Failing that Israeli-Palestinian peace will remain elusive.

Managing Food Price Instability in Developing Countries
This report reviews the effects of food price instability in developing countries on overall food security, agricultural growth, and economic development. It is well recognized that food price instability has grown over the last few years and will continue to do so under the impact of climate change, decreasing global grain stocks, the boom in biofuels, and the increasing financialization of agricultural futures markets. This instability will undoubtedly increase producer and consumer price instability in developing countries. This report presents various scenarios that can lead to increased stability of food prices, and the types of accompanying policies needed to prevent high fluctuations of these, which have severe consequences on the wellbeing of populations in developing countries.

The Hindu community considered Akshaya Tritiya a lucky day and believes that any venture like business or construction on that day can bring prosperity and betterment. Every year, the occasion falls in the late April or early May.
Akshaya Tritiya is considered as the golden day of the year because the word 'Akshaya' stands for 'Eternal' which never diminishes. Starting any new work is considered to bring good fortune on this very day. Many Hindus purchase gold on this day because it brings a good fortune.
Wedding ceremony is also organized with a hope to bring happy life journey for the couple. It is still believed that people who born on Akshaya Tritiya are lucky and shine bright all throughout their lives. The Jain community celebrates the day to commemorate Tirthankara Rushabhanatha which is ending of a year fast by consuming sugarcane juice.
Akshaya Tritiya is also known as 'Akha Teej'. On this auspicious day, Hindus organize a special worship, take bath in holy rivers, make some charities and worship Lord Ganesh & Devi Lakshmi.
A puja of goddess Vaibhav Laxmi along with Sudarshan Chakra and Kuber Yantra brings prosperity. Lord Vishnu's consort is worshiped to bring the sense of protection in the life. Both Vishnu and Lakshmi goddess are considered a divine source of energy. Many devotees organize a day-long Kubera Lakshmi havan in which goddess Vaibhavlaxami along with Sudarshan Chakra and Kuber Yantra are worshiped together. It is believed that the puja endows the devotee with sustenance, attainment and constant growth of physical, material and spiritual wealth. On the very day, Til Tarpan to deities and ancestors helps negate negative energy.
Overall, Akshaya Tritiya is an important day for Hindus. Birth of a child, beginning of a new business, wedding, buying gold and initiating a new work are considered on the day. It is a lucky day for Hindus.

Gray and Grandpa Mowing was founded to provide, honest, reliable, friendly service for the people of Lincoln, NE. We have continued to do so for 30 years and look forward to growing with you.
Gray and Grandpa Mowing was established by Jack Andersen on April 1st, 1985 alongside his eldest grandson Michael Gray with the addition of Matthew Gray on April 1st, 1989 and Mark Gray on April 1st, 1993. The Great Grandson of Jack Andersen, Nathanial Gray is the newest addition who joined the team on April 1st, 2009.
With Gray and Grandpa you can expect reliable, professional, and personalized service. Our 50 years of experience in lawn care will ensure satisfaction with any service we provide. We understand that each customers needs are different. Our wide range of services allows us to provide what you need when you need it. This means that one call can do it all!
Weekly mowing with a variety of mowers including 30" walk behinds for small yards 36", 42", and 60" for bigger and more challenging lawns. Big enough for your business, and small enough to maintain your home as well. Trimming along fences, houses, and trees is included as well as cleaning off sidewalks and driveways. More information is available on the Mowing page.
4 step program including 2 pre-emergent applications to battle tough crabgrass from ever taking hold on your lawn through all of spring. A Low nitrogen, mid-late summer application is used to prevent nitrogen burn during the hot months. Lastly, a winterizing application is put down to prepare and feed your lawn during the cold winter months. An optional 5th application for grub control may also be added. More information available in the fertilizer page.
Aerating is the single most overlooked and cost effective way to benefit your turf grass. Best done is spring or fall, aerating benefits soil, grass, roots, and keeps promoting healthy behavior for months to come. Gray and Grandpa strongly recommends anyone who is over seeding to have those areas aerated beforehand. Seed germination rate can greatly increase simply from being aerated. More information is available in the aerating page.
Best done in fall but can also be done in spring. Keeping soil around seeded grass moist is essential. Gray and Grandpa will strongly suggest aerating before over seeding as it has many benefits including higher germination rates. More information is available in the over seeding page.
Ideally done in spring/fall depending on the type of weed problems you are experiencing. Spraying can be delayed due to hot, windy, or rainy conditions for safety precautions as well as the effectiveness of the weed control. More information can be found in the weed spray page.
Clean up your sidewalks and available curb lines with a clean cut edging using hand and powered tools. Edging is best done when it is dry to prevent unnecessary mess. More information and price guides are available in the edging page.
Although hedge trimming can be done almost any time for most plants, some will benefit much more from being trimmed at the right time. Specific details can vary widely depending on the type of plant(s) you have. More information can be found in the hedge trimming page.
Keep your gutters free of debris to avoid premature wear on your gutters and downspouts. Once in the spring and again in the fall is plenty for most homes. Areas with taller trees close to buildings may require being cleaned more often. More information is available in the gutters page.
While some soil tests can be accurately conducted through simpler means, Gray and Grandpa will send any unsure soil tests in to the University of Nebraska for a complete test. Identifying the real problem can save time, money, and your lawn from ineffective remedies. Call for more details

On the Cusp of Climate History … but First, Lunch
LE BOURGET, France — In soaring rhetoric, the leaders of France and the United Nations called on world leaders to approve the first universal agreement to slow the warming of the planet.
But then they said that the latest version of the long-awaited document — expected at 9 a.m. in Paris, then 10:30 a.m. — was still being translated. So the meeting here was adjourned for lunch, with the document now scheduled to be released at 1:30 p.m., and discussions to resume at 3:45 p.m.
If the scene here, on the 13th day of a conference that was supposed to run for only 12 days, was anticlimactic, it was also quintessentially French: The vocabulary of universal and noble aspirations paired with a practical recognition that clear thinking and harmonious conversation are best facilitated by a night's rest and a full stomach (preferably with a glass of wine or two).
The French had made a careful decision, after the release of the most recent draft on Thursday night, not to release a new draft until Saturday morning. That meant that exhausted negotiators, who have been up night after night (along with some journalists), were able to catch some Z's on Friday night. The risk is that the discussions could possibly stretch late into Saturday night, or even Sunday morning.
The lofty rhetoric seemed aimed at avoiding that outcome.
"Our text is the best possible balance — a balance which is powerful yet delicate, which will enable each delegation each group of countries, with his head held high, having achieved something important," said the French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, who is presiding over the conference, known as COP21.
He said the planet could not afford a repeat of the last major climate talks, in Copenhagen in 2009, which dissolved in acrimony despite efforts by President Obama and other leaders to forge a deal.
"Nobody here wants a repetition of what happened in Copenhagen," Mr. Fabius said. "Perhaps not all the planets were aligned, but today they are."
Ban Ki-moon, the secretary general of the United Nations, said, "The time has come to acknowledge that national interests are best served by acting in the global interest."
President François Hollande of France called forcefully for an agreement. "This text will, if you should so decide, be the first universal agreement in the history of climate negotiations," he said. "We will not be judged on a clause or a sentence, but on the text as a whole. We will not be judged on a word but an act — not on a day but a century."
He added: "There will be no putting this off. There will be no possible postponement. The decisive moment for the planet is here and now."
Immediately afterward, Mr. Fabius said that the document was still being translated — the United Nations has six official languages — and adjourned he the plenary for a lunch break.
