Simple Veggie and Hummus Platters
Fresh, crisp veggies and cool, creamy hummus.
A combo to rival bacon and eggs. Peanut butter and jelly. Fish and chips.
(well, in my world anyway)
And the key to it all?
Colour. Lots of colour. Because who doesn't want to eat something that looks like a rainbow? Open a bag of Skittles and prove me wrong.
(on second thought, don't open a bag of Skittles ... just imagine)
All I'm saying is that if you want to get your kids to eat this stuff, make it pretty. If you're trying to eat more veggies yourself, make them pretty. Texture and colour and variety are appealing to our eyes ... and we all know there's a link between seeing something yummy and feeling hungry ...
Make it impossible to refuse.
and here are some hummus recipes for you, just in case ... and yes, you can always substitute canned chickpeas for soaked-and-cooked ones
Basic hummus from Smitten Kitchen
Grown-up hummus from 101 Cookbooks
Sweet potato hummus from My New Roots
I think half of the pleasure from food - particularly fresh food - comes from the presentation. It really does make a difference. Don't you think?

Hummus and veggies is top of the list of those you've mentioned. I would never turn it down for anything else. This looks so delicious and pretty. All those colors could also lift the spirit.

PORTSMOUTH — Call them the best of the rest.
It didn't come right away, but the Portsmouth High School girls basketball team eventually pulled away for the win it wanted Friday night, topping Souhegan, 58-36, in the regular-season finale for both teams at Stone Gym.
Guard Phoebe Collins scored 11 points, forward Devon Parker added 10 points and 11 rebounds, and the Clippers (15-3) secured second place and the No. 2 seed in the Division II tournament, which gets underway on Tuesday.
"We knew we needed to get the seed spot for the playoffs," said junior guard Tighe Loch, who chipped in seven points. "It was a big deal. We wanted that No. 2 spot."
It might be a case of be-careful-what-you-wish-for. According to the standings, the Clippers will host No. 15 Oyster River (6-12) in the first round, a local thorn in their second-place side. They won both regular-season meetings against OR, but by scores of 52-50 and 43-40.
Of course, the rest of Division II is looking way up at Lebanon, which finished up its regular season at 18-0 earlier this week, with no opponent staying within 20 points of it.
The Sabers (7-11) were led by junior Camden Formby-Lavertu, who scored 10 points, eight of them from the foul line. They likely dropped into the 14th seed and will play a first-round game at third-place Windham on Tuesday.
Portsmouth began the night by honoring its four seniors — starting forwards Parker, Alicia Brown and Christina Jones, and reserve guard Ashley Linane. Then it found itself a track meet.
Neither team missed many shots early on. The 6-foot-3 Brown's night got knocked off track when she picked up a second foul just three minutes in, but her team got strong offensive minutes from junior Abby Salvadore (five points) and led 17-16 after one quarter.
Defense was another story.
"The stuff they were doing to us in the first period confused us and made us wonder how we were ever going to defend them," said Portsmouth coach Danny Parr.
The rebuilding Sabers, behind junior Mickenzie Larivee (eight points) and freshman Hannah Chick, used strong play and back-to-back baskets to take their first lead, 22-21, midway through the second quarter, prompting Parr to take a timeout.
His team responded. Loch pulled up and hit a long shot the next time down to a kick off a quick, 8-0 spurt that was capped by her backcourt mate, Collins, driving on the baseline and hanging for a jumper.
Loch tacked on a 3-pointer before the half was up and the Clippers took a 34-26 lead to the locker room.
"I felt great where we were at halftime," said Souhegan coach Jeremy Faulkner, who has just one senior on his roster. "Our first-half play this whole year is fantastic. Even against Lebanon, we were only down four at the half. But the second half, with the inexperience, it kills us."
In the third quarter, boosted by a switch to a man-to-man defense — "Scary," said Parr, "because I thought their kids were quicker than we were" — and aided by the absence of Souhegan point guard Devon Hickey, battling an illness and kept on the bench, the Clippers completely shut down their foes, not allowing a single field goal and increasing their lead to 48-27.
"We played well defensively and found enough ways to get baskets," said Parr.
Nobody did more in the quarter than Parker, the athletic, 5-foot-11 forward who took over the boards (seven rebounds in the period), and either gave her team possessions or turned them into putbacks on the offensive end.
In the end, the Clippers could celebrate their final regular-season game at Stone Gym for their seniors, though they could be back here twice more if they take care of early-round playoff business next week.
"The seniors have been great," said Collins. "They've been great leaders all the years that we've played with them."
Before this season's done, there may be some more leading left to do.

If the Trx Suspension Training package is all rugged and out of shape, regardless of how much of a treasure the inside is, no one will be interested.ReplyDelete
Some of these Trx For Sale will come with the product for free but if high quality package has to be done like in wholesale, the buyer has to compensate for the extra packaging.
It seems that among the consistently hottest sellers from this Cheap TRX line is the Highrise.
High quality packaging of TRX suspension trainer, watches, earrings and other help protect them from getting dust or moisture from the environment.
When people see a buyer carrying a bag with the TRX For Sale of the company, they will definitely get attracted and pulled towards with an urge to get the same.
trx suspension training also enhances flexibility in transport.
If the TRX For Sale has a good shape, it will be much manageable to transport and distribute.
This is highly paid much to details because the trx straps sale company has stores all over the world and a slight mistake can end up destroying the whole collection.
In today's world, nothing without a cheap trx package has the ability to sell including an eraser.
Simple though very important thing to consider is that the trx for sale package is not only aimed at preserving, but to get the attention of the target market.

|Biosequences .. Software .. Molbio soft .. Network News .. FTP
We would like to announce the release of the final specification for Level 1 of SBML (the Systems Biology Markup Language). It is available from http://www.cds.caltech.edu/erato SBML is a description language for simulations in systems biology. It is oriented towards representing biochemical networks that are common in research on a number of topics, including cell signaling pathways, metabolic pathways, biochemical reactions, gene regulation, and many others. SBML is the product of close collaboration between the teams developing BioSpice (http://gobi.lbl.gov/~aparkin/), Gepasi (http://www.gepasi.org/), DBSolve (http://websites.ntl.com/~igor.goryanin/), E-Cell http://www.e-cell.org/), Jarnac (http://members.tripod.co.uk/sauro/Jarnac.htm), StochSim (http://www.zoo.cam.ac.uk/comp-cell/StochSim.html), and Virtual Cell (http://www.nrcam.uchc.edu/). The motivations for developing SBML stem from the current inability to exchange models between biochemical network simulation/analysis tools. The lack of a common standard for exchanging models poses two problems for researchers. First, models cannot be shared directly between tools because the file format used by each tool is unique and nontransferable. This makes it difficult if not impossible for a researcher to exchange models. Second, when a simulator is upgraded or is no longer supported, models developed in the `old' system become stranded and unusable in any other simulator. This later scenario has already happened on a number of occasions, with the resulting loss of the model to the scientific community. With the recent roliferation of new biochemical simulators, this situation can only get worse. We have kept the base definition of SBML as simple as possible, so that simulator developers will not find it too difficult to implement support for SBML in their tools. This base definition, called SBML Level 1, is the result of merging modeling-language features from a number of existing software packages, and encompasses the minimal information required for biochemical models. Additional structures and facilities will be added to SBML in subsequent levels; among the features we are developing for SBML Level 2 are hierarchical models and spatial characteristics. By freezing subsets of features in SBML definitions at incremental levels, we hope to provide the community with stable standards to which software authors can design to, while at the same time allowing the simulation community to gain experience with the language definitions before introducing new elements. The effort perhaps closest in spirit to SBML is CellML (http://www.cellml.org). CellML is an XML-based markup language designed for storing and exchanging computer-based biological models. The constructs in CellML tend to be at a more abstract and general level than those in SBML Level 1, and describe the structure and underlying mathematics of cellular models in a very general way. By contrast, SBML is closer to the internal object model used in model analysissoftware. Because SBML Level 1 is being developed in the context of interacting with a number of existing simulation packages, it is a more concrete language than CellML and may be better suited to its purpose of enabling interoperability with existing simulation tools. However, CellML offers viable alternative ideas, and the developers of SBML and CellML are actively engaged in ensuring that the two representations can be translated between each other.

Probably not but time will tell.
In December 2011, the Surety Association of Canada (the "SAC") approved a new form of performance bond that has several new provisions. In its press notice, the SAC says that the objectives of the changed language of the performance bond are:
- To bring a greater level of certainty and responsiveness to the claims process; and
- To encourage better and more frequent communication between the Surety and the owner (the "Obligee") in the event of a contractor (the "Principal") default.
These are, of course, laudable objectives and, to these ends, the new form includes:
- The availability (at the Obligee's option) of a "Pre-Demand Conference" to be held between the Obligee, the Principal, and the Surety prior to a Demand being made on the bond;
- Some requirements regarding the Surety's time to investigate and respond to a Demand made by the Obligee;
- Some tightly prescribed rights of the Obligee to take limited steps to protect public safety and preserve and protect the Principal's work under the contract from deterioration and damage;
- A Post-Demand Conference to be held between the Obligee, the Principal, and the Surety to discuss what work (if any) under the contract should proceed while the Surety carries out its investigations; and
- Clearer contact information for any Demand, notice, and other communications between parties to the bond.
Unfortunately, I'm rather underwhelmed by the new language. I can see the potential for modestly better communication through the claims process; however, I can also see the potential for very little practical change and benefit to the Obligee. For example, the new language requires the Surety to investigate and report its position on liability to the Obligee within 21 days of receiving all information from the Obligee and carrying out a site visit (should it decide to do one) following a Demand being made on the bond. However, the new language doesn't impose a time limit for the Surety's site visit to trigger the 21 day period and it goes on to say that if the Surety can't complete its investigation and report its position on liability to the Obligee within 21 days – it can simply write to the Obligee and tell it that it needs more time (and say when it expects to be able to complete its investigation and report). So, the 21 day investigation and reporting requirement sounds OK until one considers that there is no set time within which the Surety must complete its site visit to trigger the commencement of the 21 days and, further, the Surety can, in any case, unilaterally extend the 21 days by simply writing the Obligee a letter stating as much. One can easily imagine this so-called "21 day" period commonly (and without consequence) turning into several months.
It will take some time after the new wording is put into use before its practical benefit (or lack thereof) to Obligees becomes apparent. However, based on my own past experiences representing clients that have made Demand on a performance bond, coupled with the soft language and lack of stated consequence to the Surety, I have my doubts that the new form will translate into a significantly better experience and outcome for Obligees.
Maybe throw the Champagne in the fridge but keep the cork in and the party hats can probably be left in the closet for the time being.

loved this recipe ...I added garlic turmeric and ginger and used a whole head of broccoli because my husband doesn't like peas
May 27, 2012
This is a wonderful recipe. I have tried other shepherd's pies and have never found one as flavorable as this one. The Worchestershire sauce and stone-ground mustard gave is wonderful flavor as did the french onions. We love it and I will make it many times in the future. My son tropped in for dinner one night when we were having this and he couldn't get enough of it. Try it!

I'm not a big fan of peas, so I substituted chopped frozen broccoli. The caramelized onions make this recipe really fantastic!

I thought my DH would love this b/c he is a real meat and potatoes type of guy, but he was not impressed. He thought it was bland and my kids wouldn't even try it. Disappointing b/c this took a fair amount of time to prepare.

My husband and I loved this dish. I disagree with the reviewer stating that this dish was lacking flavor. In fact, I thought quite the contrary - that it indeed was VERY rich and flavorful. There are more seasonings beyond the broth. The caramelized onions add a rich, sweet flavor, the worcestershire sauce added an immense depth of flavor, and the grainy mustard also added a sharp tang to the dish. Aftering make the dish exactly as the recipe instructs, I absolutely loved this and would make it again. I totally respect playing around with recipes and making them your own, but I think it's difficult to rate a dish poorly when the main ingredients were totally different. Try this dish!

Just made this for dinner and my very picky family loved it. The flavor was wonderful and left us wishing for left-overs! This has been added to our make again list.
Feb 2, 2012
I used meat from a whole chicken I had roasted rather than the ground turkey. Instead of beef broth I used giblet gravy made from the roast chicken. The gravy gave it a rich taste and overall the pie was very good. I gave it three stars though because I think with just broth it wouldn't have had as nice of a flavor and even so we thought the dish was a bit bland. I'll probably make it again with the gravy but I think I'll season it much more. Note, we like our food with a kick so this is just our preference; if you enjoy tasty but not very seasoned food then this'd probably have more stars from you.

Published at Tuesday, July 16th, 2019 - 15:12:23 PM. Chandelier Lamps. By Pepin Otto.
Excerpt from Best Light Fixtures for Your Dining Room :
Chandeliers bring sophistication into your dining space while creating an instant focal point in the room. In the past, chandeliers were usually reserved for traditional dining rooms, but today's chandeliers offer a variety of versatile options that work well in any space, from contemporary to traditional.
Crystal chandeliers, which are well suited for traditional dining rooms, feature multiple dangling crystals that provide soft, cascading light throughout a room that perfectly accentuates rich wood furnishings. For a more minimalist or contemporary design scheme, consider a wrought-iron chandelier with candelabra or pendant lights to add a touch of modern elegance. The ideal hanging height for these light fixtures is 30 to 35 inches above the dining table.
Wall sconces are mounted directly on walls to provide both general and accent lighting. If your dining area is spacious, incorporating a wall sconce in each wall corner will ensure optimal light coverage when paired with ceiling fixtures. Wall sconces also work well to create intimate dining settings when used alone or paired with candles as accent lighting.
A pendant light is another versatile lighting option that adapts to practically any space. Available in a variety of styles and simple to install, pendant lights hang from single chains and emit ambient light throughout your dining area. Like chandeliers, pendant lights should be suspended 30 to 35 inches above your dining table.
To highlight black or white modern furnishings, consider a pendant light with a colored drum shade for the perfect amount of contrast. For a more traditional look, choose a chandelier pendant or triple-globe pendant fixture to softly illuminate your table.
Flush mount light fixtures touch the ceiling surface, allowing light to filter out through glass or diffuser pieces. Flush mount chandeliers are ideal for dining rooms with limited space, as they feature the same beautiful crystals of traditional chandeliers but in a more compact design. Three-light flush mount fixtures with circular glass shades add soft light to a room without being overpowering, making them great options for dining rooms where the dining table is the focal point.
While a flush mount fixture is typically installed flush to the ceiling, a semi-flush mount lighting fixture design features a bowl, shade, or lantern that extends down slightly, allowing light to reflect off the ceiling surface. Offering everything from Tiffany-style bowls to glass lanterns with candelabra lighting, semi-flush mount light fixture styles are extremely versatile.

The Whakatane Mechanism, an IUCN "One Programme" initiative in which CEESP is deeply involved, aims to ensure that conservation policy and practice respect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, including those specified in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). It is a tool for the implementation of IUCN Resolution 4.052 and other resolutions taken by the WCC to respect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in conservation.
The Mechanism includes undertaking a fieldwork assessment in a protected area by a multi-stakeholder taskforce. This taskforce provides recommendations to address human rights violations and facilitates a dialogue in order to reach joint solutions to be put in place by the various parties involved. The Mechanism also celebrates and promotes best practices in conservation and successful partnerships between indigenous peoples, local communities and protected areas authorities.
Since January 2011, the Whakatane Mechanism has been piloted in two places: at Mount Elgon in western Kenya and in Ob Luang National Park in northern Thailand. The structure of both pilot Assessments was similar: a first roundtable that brought together the different institutions involved in the protected area to explain the concept of the Whakatane Mechanism and plan ahead. This was followed by a scoping study of several days in the protected area to meet with communities and local officials. A second roundtable followed to present and agree on the findings and recommendations of the Assessment.
A draft Framework for the Whakatane Mechanism has been developed jointly by the IUCN secretariat, IUCN-CEESP, IUCN-SPICEH, FPP with feedback by many others and based on the experience of the two pilot Assessments in Thailand and Kenya. Our aim is to circulate it within IUCN for wider feedback in order to agree on a final Framework by the end of the World Conservation Congress in Jeju. The draft Framework (available here) includes suggestions in track changes to facilitate a final agreement at WCC5. We would appreciate your feedback on it by August 30th. The details of the functioning of the Mechanism start on p10. Please send comments or text suggestions in track changes to email@example.com. We are looking forward to getting your input, support and ideas.
If you will be at the World Conservation Congress in Jeju, Korea, we would be very happy to welcome you at the side event on the Whakatane Mechanism (more information). You can also find more information about the Whakatane Mechanism on the website: www.whakatane-mechanism.org.

Drug overdose deaths spike among middle-aged women | Health
ATLANTA (AP) - U.S. health officials say middle-aged women are the fastest-growing group of people dying from drug overdoses.
For many decades, the overwhelming majority of U.S. overdose deaths were men killed by heroin or cocaine. But by 2010, 40 percent were women - most of them middle-aged women who took prescription painkillers.
Skyrocketing overdose death rates among females are closely tied to a boom in use of prescribed painkillers. The new report is the government's first to spotlight how the death trend has been more dramatic among women.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the number and rate of female prescription drug overdose deaths increased by around 400 percent from 1999 to 2010. For men, the increases were around 250 percent.

Old School Scams Make a Comeback
Scammers don't need to be master hackers to bust into your bank account. A pen and paper can be enough—especially if the paper comes from a lost or stolen checkbook.
Cyber crimes may rule the headlines, but old school scams are making a comeback—and some of them never really went away. Check fraud, for example, is one of the oldest forms of payment fraud and one of the most persistent. About 87 percent of financial professionals said their companies experienced check fraud, according to the 2013 Payments Fraud and Control survey.
"One of the simplest and most prevalent ways to commit financial crime, to steal money, is to commit some form of check fraud," said James Freis Jr., former director of FinCEN, an agency of Treasury Department.
Check fraud continues to be a problem for a number of reasons. Billions of checks are processed every year, making it challenging to do a review of each check to prevent fraud. Plus, criminals now have easy access to basic desktop publishing tools, increasing their chances of success.
A Retiree's Story
Check fraud was the last thing on William Barker's mind when he reviewed his bank account balance to make sure his monthly retirement check had been deposited. It had arrived safely, but he noticed something else: A check for $4,500 had been cashed. It bore his wife's signature and a note that read "1984 motor home."
There was just one problem: Barker and his wife didn't buy a 1984 motor home.
When the doors of his bank opened that morning, Barker was there to dispute the transaction and begin the tedious process of recovering his money.
"For us, $4,500 is a lot of money," he said. "We've always been real vigilant about our finances, so this was quite a blow."
Fortunately, Barker's home insurance policy provided him with identity management services from CyberScout at no cost. A seamless transfer from the claims department put him in touch with fraud investigator Bridgette Novak.
Novak took immediate steps to protect Barker's credit:
• She made sure he filed a police report.
• She confirmed that he spoke with the bank to dispute the transaction, close his account and open a new one to avoid future fraud.
• She placed a 90-day fraud alert on his credit file.
• And she connected him with ChexSystems to see if anyone had tried to open bank accounts with his information.
"Bridgette immediately made us feel better, like everything was going to be OK," Barker said. "We know we don't have anything to worry about because if we have more fraud, she'll be there to take care of it."
Barker's bank ultimately restored the funds to his account, but he and his wife are still on guard for suspicious activity on all their accounts.
Novak offered some tips for consumers to protect themselves against check fraud.
1. Keep your checks in a secure location. Don't leave them in a car, at work or out in the open at home.
2. Review your checking accounts regularly for suspicious activity.
3. Pick up new checks at a local bank branch. Avoid having them sent by mail.
4. Never include personal data on the check. That includes your Social Security number, driver's license number, phone number and address.
5. Drop bills paid with checks at the post office instead of in your mailbox.
Barker has taken it one step further. "If you can avoid it, don't use checks at all," said Barker, who now uses debit cards instead of checks. "It's just not worth it."

[edit] From the publisher
'Tolkien's View: Windows into his World' contains a number of selected essays by Professor J.S. Ryan, for their most part originally published over three decades from the 1960s to the 1990s, on the theme of J.R.R. Tolkien and his works. Having himself studied under Professor Tolkien at the time of the publication of his masterwork The Lord of the Rings, Professor J.S. Ryan is uniquely well-placed to comment on some aspects of Tolkien's academic environment in Oxford, the subject matters J.R.R. Tolkien studied and brooded upon in his regular professional work and the people he personally knew, cherished and was influenced by as a student and then as a professor of Old and Middle English, a writer and a person.Note on the cover: The stunning cover photograph by John Gibbons, which extends over the full width of the front and back covers, shows the view of Merton Meadows, Oxford, seen from the window of Tolkien's study.

"Great people and fantastic customer service! They have a new customer for life!"
"Searched around for the right ride for my wife and found it at Joey Griffin Kia. We have had our car for a couple of months now and we know we made the perfect choice of car and dealership. The staff was very patient, polite and professional – when it's time to buy again, Joey Griffin Kia will be our first stop. Thanks for being so great!"
"We will never forget the kindness you showed toward us when purchasing our new Kia Optima. You have a great staff including your service/parts department. You all made us feel welcomed and a part of your family."
"We were passing through looking at new cars and due to the excellent advice and service at Joey Griffin Kia, we are the proud owners of a 2017 Kia Cadenza! We are a very satisfied customer."
"We have purchased two from you and we appreciate how professional and helpful you were when choosing the right vehicle for our needs. You went out of your way to make sure our experience was a pleasant one."
"I've always been afraid of taking my car to dealerships for repairs, simply because of the dealership repair prices. But I have an extended warranty on my Optima and I didn't want to chance having it voided, so I took it to my local Kia dealership. I scheduled an appointment and they kept me posted about everything that was going on. The mechanics took their time and attended to my car needs. And it wasn't as expensive as I thought. I'll definitely be back!"
"Thank you for the kind and easy purchase experience as well as the care you have given to our father. We will recommend your dealership to everyone we know."

We have just resolved an issue which caused some intermittent issues with missing image covers.
Turns out one of our image servers was out of sync with its peers causing the random disappearance of some image covers. Usually these early hardware symptoms are caught by our self-monitoring system but this particular server was mistakenly left off our monitoring list.
Problem solved and everything should return to normal within the hour.

Here's How To Get Nina Dobrev's Golden Teen Choice Awards Makeup!
Vampire Diaries beauty Nina Dobrev looked so pretty at the Teen Choice Awards, her makeup artist tells you how to copy her look!
Earlier today, I asked you to vote on your favorite beauty look from the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on August 8. Your winner, in a landslide, is the gorgeous Nina Dobrev! You guys loved her sultry golden look. Naturally, I had to find out for you how you could copy her perfect summer look. Fortunately, celebrity makeup artist Amy Nadine Rosenberg was more than happy to spill the secrets on how she got the Vampire Diaries star dolled up for the big night! "I was obsessed with Nina's Alex Perry dress and didn't want the makeup to compete with the soft metallic colors," Amy says. "So, I created a look in the same family but a little warmer: nudes, champagnes and golds in lieu of silvers and pewters."
- "Sweep the light gold shade from the Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Dunes across the entire eye lid then add the taupe shade to the crease," Amy says. "Finish with the nude color along the brow bone and the inner corners."
- "With a liner brush, thinly trace the upper and lower lash lines with Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Black Mauve," Amy says. "It's a softer alternative to black." To really open up the eyes, line the inner waterline with a light nude hue. Finish off the eyes with two coats of mascara and a few individual false lashes.
- "After the eyes are finished, clean up any fallen product and prime your face," Amy says. Follow with your favorite foundation, concealer and loose powder.
- To add definition to the face, "suck in your cheeks to find your cheekbone, then sweep bronzer along the cheekbone, temple, hairline and under the jawline," Amy says. "Smile in the mirror to find the apples of your cheeks, then dust Dior Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond."
- "Fill in the entire lip with Dolce & Gabbana Lip Color in #53 Delicate," Amy says. A subtle golden gloss finishes off the look.

Preparing the way to sustainable development after Rio+20: Forum on Science Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development
With most of the environmental indicators on our planet flashing red and warning signs of a critical transition of planetary-scale as a result of human influence, leading international scientists and policy-makers came together during a 5 day Forum ahead of the Rio+20 Conference to help establish the research, technology and policy agendas that will be needed to reverse this trend.
The Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development provided a platform to strengthen dialogue between researchers, governments, policy-makers and civil society to produce the knowledge and technology needed to build sustainable, green societies. They shared the latest scientific knowledge on sustainable development issues and drafted a set of thematic recommendations to prepare the way for the implementation of a new global agenda after Rio+20.
All agreed that as environmental aspects must be integrated into the economy, sound scientific data must underpin policies. This requires further research and sustained observation, but also aligning research and policy objectives.
There is a need for a new approach to research that is inter-disciplinary, solutions oriented and policy relevant, with a stronger social science component. The world has now entered a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene; many Earth-system processes and the living fabric of ecosystems are now dominated by human activities. This reflects the reality that people are part of the ecosystems that they shape, and that ecological and societal systems are mutually dependent. Social sciences have a vital role to play in understanding planetary pressures and in establishing the basis for sustainable development, as do basic and environmental sciences. Together, they combine to form the DNA of the sustainability driven science that is needed today.
The Future Earth initiative aims to further this goal. This bold new 10-year initiative on global environmental change research for sustainability was launched by an alliance of international partners from global science, research funding and UN bodies during the Forum. The initiative will coordinate scientific research which is designed and produced in partnership with governments, business and, more broadly, society.
"UNESCO is proud to be part of this major effort to mobilize science for sustainable development." Said Gretchen Kalonji, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Natural Sciences, pointing out that the challenges posed by sustainable development are multi-faceted which requires interdisciplinary science. UNESCO has much to contribute in this respect through its multidisciplinary mandate in education, culture, social and natural sciences, which is completely unique on the international stage.
The need to mobilize knowledge from several disciplines is particularly apparent in the field of disaster risk reduction. When setting up tsunami warning systems, for instance, the scientific aspect is primordial, but education, culture, social organization and communication are just as important in saving lives. This panel's recommendations also include integrating risk education into various curricula and raising awareness through evidence-based disaster risk initiatives.
The panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services emphasized the need to better integrate the natural and social components of biodiversity science to predict the impacts of societal change and respond by contributing to good policies and education. (Full recommendations)
The panel on Indigenous Knowledge noted the expanding recognition of indigenous and traditional knowledge as an essential building block for global sustainability in numerous domains such as biodiversity conservation and management, food security, natural disaster preparedness, climate change assessment and adaptation, amongst others. Recommendations include moving beyond an approach of validating and integrating indigenous knowledge, towards embracing knowledge co-design and co-production that bring scientists and indigenous knowledge holders together on an equitable and mutually-respectful basis.
The panel on water security highlighted the key role of water in achieving sustainable development goals and moving towards a green economy. Their recommendations include integrating water resources management through all sectors (economy, land use, agriculture, energy, transportation) and adopting participatory planning and management approaches.
A side event gave the floor to leading women scientists, who stressed the crucial role that women scientists could play in sustainable development during the Rio+20 negotiations. The side event stimulated discussions on the role of scientific women in contributing to viable solutions for human wellbeing, social inclusion and environmental sustainability.
The side event Ocean in Focus: Science and Governance for Ocean Sustainability provided the very first entry point to discuss and present a number of initiatives towards the sustainable use of the ocean in support of the Future Earth initiative and the Rio+20 outcomes. Participants recognized that the governance of oceans is fragmented along both sectoral and geographical lines that ignore the interconnectivity and scale of ocean issues. They agreed that there is an urgent need for an international framework of cooperation for both ocean research and governance, which will define the conditions for scientist to prepare accurate scenarios for the future.
To achieve sustainable development, the Rio+20 Outcome Document clearly recognizes the important contribution of the scientific and technological community, the importance of technology transfer to close the technological gap between developed and developing countries, the need to strengthen the science policy interface, the need to strengthen national scientific and technological capacity and the need to foster international research collaboration on sustainable development.
This Forum has put forward a set of recommendations to respond to the challenge, defining a new approach to research that is integrated, international, solutions-oriented and policy relevant across all domains of research as well as local knowledge systems, across the North and South, and must be co-designed and implemented with input from governments, civil society, research funders, and the private sector.

According to the gaming site Kotaku (see "War Crimes in Video Games Draw Red Cross Scrutiny," Dec. 2, 2011), the International Committee of the Red Cross is considering whether the Geneva and Hague Conventions should apply when blowing things (and people) up in video games.
"While [we work] vigorously to promote international humanitarian law worldwide," read the description of a side event held at a conference in Geneva, "there is also an audience of approximately 600 million gamers who may be virtually violating IHL.... [F]or the first time [in this event, we] discussed our role and responsibility to take actions against violations of IHL in video games."
Just to be clear, the virtual violations being inflicted by some fraction of these alleged 600 million potential virtual war criminals are causing only virtual injury to virtual people. I would have a problem with even virtual punishment for this, but the group's suggestion that it may "encourage governments to adopt laws and regulations to regulate this ever-growing industry" could only mean getting government involved in reviewing game content for compliance with international law, and that would do real harm. Unless you think Call of Duty would be just as much fun if you had to get a legal ruling before pressing the R2 button. The controls are complicated enough without having to learn a key combination that opens a chat window with the International Court of Human Rights.
Presumably, the argument is that if human rights can be violated with impunity in video games (and believe me, they can), this might trivialize the rules and make violations more likely in real life. But this same argument has been made many times and to my knowledge, there has never been any solid evidence that video games lead to real violence. Personally, I must have killed millions of virtual humans, aliens, blips and dots over probably a quarter-century of gaming, and yet have been able to refrain from killing any of these in real life. Conversely, my guess is that the vast majority of the millions of real civilians killed over the centuries were killed by people who never even played Doom. And I can't think of a single game in which you have the choice to waterboard a prisoner, so there has to be another explanation for that.
I'll confess that disturbing things can happen in video games, and that some of them give the player a choice to do something evil. But that's because (within the limits of that world) the player has free will, and the existence of free will necessarily means there is the potential for choosing to do evil. Otherwise, the choice to do good wouldn't mean anything. But even if somebody persistently chooses evil in a video game, it's a video game.
Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I once shot a virtual cop in Liberty City while playing Grand Theft Auto III. I was very angry and fairly drunk, not that these are valid excuses. But here's the thing: I felt so bad about it that I turned the computer off and never played that game again. Those were both ridiculous decisions, frankly, but they were decisions only I am responsible for.
Also, don't tell the Red Cross this, but I've destroyed entire societies since then. So don't think I've gone soft.
Update: A commenter provided this link to a page at the ICRC's official site, where it hopes to clarify its policy about the law of war and video games. I should also probably clarify that, as far as I know, nobody is even suggesting actually prosecuting anyone in real life for "virtual war crimes." At worst, they are suggesting that governments get involved in reviewing content, which is a terrible idea. Some, though, are suggesting only that developers should consider these sorts of issues when creating games. (Maybe the headline should read "applied in," not "applied to.") As another commenter points out below, some of the best games already do this in one way or another, and maybe that's a good idea. Nobody should be forcing it on them, but that may not be the ICRC's official position, if it has an official position.
