In March of 1965, in the periodical L'Osservatore Romano, Bugnini was quoted as saying: "We must strip from our Catholic prayers and from the Catholic liturgy everything which can be the shadow of a stumbling block for our separated brethren that is for the Protestants." In 1974 preceding his second downfall, Bugnini proudly proclaimed Vatican II to be a "major conquest of the Catholic Church".
Colossians 2:8
Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit: according to the tradition of men according to the elements of the world and not according to Christ.
The Reform of the Roman Liturgy: Its problems and Background.
( by Msgr. Klaus Gamber)--Excerpts
from the preface to the French edition: "J.A.Jungmann, one of the truly great liturgist of our century, defined the liturgy of his time, such as it could be understood in the light of historical research, as a 'liturgy' which is the fruit of development"....
"What happened at the Council was something else entirely: in place of liturgy as the fruit of development came fabricated liturgy. We abandoned the organic, living process of growth and development over the centuries,and replaced it--as in a manufacturing process-- with a fabrication, a banal on- the- spot product."
Biased survey
You're clearly trying to direct folks to vote for #3.
"natural, easy-to-understand English"
Why not have the following choices:
1. in Latin
2. In a faithful translation of the Latin
3. In dumbed-down English written at a 3rd grade level?
Biased survey
LOL! Russ, great third choice!
Very poorly worded poll
Hard to believe a serious editorial staff thinks that a poll with these options could be at all worthwhile.
Latin first (per V2); faithful translation next
Bishop Trautmann's article points out the difficulties of translation into a living, always changing language.
Which is perhaps why the fathers of the second Vatican Council wanted Latin preserved in the liturgy, while permitting some use of the vernacular (clearly they wanted the Latin to be normative and to take precedence). This, of course, is not what happened. Instead we got a translation that, when it was not just infelicitous, was downright misleading -- as well as being banal.
Please, please let's "re-enchant" the liturgy. It's past time.
Any small comparison of the
Any small comparison of the Latin with the current ICEL texts betrays the extent to which the present English translation dilutes the sacred in the name of being "pastoral". It is true that liturgy should be accessible to everyone, but religious texts and liturgical ones in particular should cause the believer to rise up to meet the sacred rather than have it dragged down to the level of common, human things. Simple catechesis and access to a dictionary would solve the problem for almost everyone. Even though we have grown used to the dumbed down liturgy over the past few decades, it does not mean that we should abandon attempts at reform. Ultimately, what could be more pastoral and spiritually beneficial than authentic translations of sacred texts?
How dare he!
How dare +Trautman so openly dissent and object to Vatican II.
He is a poor example of submission to the teachings of Christ, and Peter.
I wonder how +Trautman will react WHEN his Priests refuse to follow his "guidelines" on his own "interpretation" of the new Missal.
This tantrum by +Trautman is an appalling illustration of a baby throwing the toys out of the pram. I hope the Bishop is moved somewhere where he can do no harm. Let's have a Catholic Bishop replace him.
Re: GOD MADE LATIN WITH HIS OWN
Um...No, He didn't. Maybe I'm misreading this and you're being hilariously snarky - I hope so - but just in case, I just want to say how wrong this is.
Actually, there is more consensus among the Church Fathers that the original language spoken by Man in Eden was Hebrew, which would make THAT the language created by God and it would behoove us to defer to that tongue rather than Latin.
Of course, only part of even our Scriptures were written in Hebrew. Some were written in Greek - did you know that the Septuagint was considered inspired by some Jews, even though it was written in GREEK; and that this sentiment carried over to many early Christians, even though the book was not in Latin - and others were written in Aramaic. It is unlikely that any books of the Bible were written in Latin in their inspired forms. Seems like God has shorted this language He created "with His own finger."
Following up on the Septuagint...
In Luke 4:18, when Jesus is reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah(61:1) in the temple, he is reading from the Septuagint Old Testament. Check it out.
the Septuagint version reads (which matches Luke 4:18):
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives,
The septuagint version of Isaiah is the only one that mentions "recovery of sight to the blind."

Birthday celebrations differ as one grows up. Up until we are small, our parents take the responsibility of celebrating our birthday. Once we are into secondary school, friends start celebrating birthdays more than our parents. Well, apart from all the celebrations gifts have an important role. The guests invited are provided with lunch or dinner depending on the time of invitation whether afternoon or night.
Well, what would you need for decoration for birthdays?
Birthday banners are important with Happy Birthday written. One can also personalize the banner along with the name of the person or can design their banner. You may get it online at a cheaper rate.
Streamers: these are colourful paper strips which can be made into different shapes and can be hung from windows and doors.
Light lanterns: they can be hung from the ceiling which it makes it look the room or house very beautiful.
Birthday balloons: the birthday decoration is incomplete without balloons. You will need the machine to pop the balloons or else it will be tiring for one person doing the work.
Paper cuttings: there are different forms of decorative paper cuttings which can be put up as a decoration.
Party hats: the weird looking triangular party hats are the most loved thing, and every child would have wanted to wear the hat on birthdays. It is more like a tradition than how one looks on it.
The birthday celebration and decoration depends on the interest of the person celebrating it. In case the birthday celebration is in some outdoor venue one need not worry about this decoration. If the birthday plan is made at home, then one can use the above ideas for decoration. All the decorative items are available online.

I think there must be a language barrier problem here. This MonzaDriver post is entirely unjustifable and sullies an otherwise fascinating thread. Delete?
If there are some language barrier problem,
help me in understand the real meaning of those phrases of Peter Elleray:
Is it safe to come out over the parapet?
i am right in thinking this started out as a lotus thread aren't I?
Above all the second one. Because to me doesn't relate to the rest of his post.

Parallel to his useless literary studies at the University of Naples, Giulio D'Alessio studied baroque music at the conservatories of Lyon and Geneva where he obtained the "Diplome de Soliste". He continued to study with Sigiswald Kuijken at the Conservatory of Brussels, where he received a Master Degree in Baroque Violin. He joined Kuijken's La Petite Bande, for which he continues to play, as well as Il Complesso Barocco, of which orchestra he quickly became manager. He plays the violin, viola, mandolin, viola da gamba, viola d' amore, and the violoncello da spalla, without, however, ever achieving technical and musical brilliance in any of them. His solo performances were greeted with critical silence, whether he played with "La Petite Bande", the "Scarlatti Orchestra of Naples", or the "Salzburg Chamber Soloists". This silence led to his decision to dedicate himself to other activities. Thus in 2007, along with Ewald Demeyere, he founded the Bach Concentus orchestra, aimed at the rediscovery of the repertory of the Bach family. He also directed the staging of Handel's Lotario and Rodelinda at the Teatro Arriaga in Bilbao and created the scenes for the theater presentation, "Monologue for Editor," written by Flavio Pagano for the "Festival of the Vesuvian Villas." These varied and entirely schizophrenic activities have led him to approach the world of contemporary art and have led to a collaboration with the writer Flavio Pagano, leading to the creation of impressive, however useless, works of interactive art which soon will see the light of day.
He is currently the artistic director of the orchestra "Il Pomo d'Oro" and the artistic director of INSPIRATUM (www.inspiratum.be)
Since 2009, he has been the Italian correspondent for Forumopera Magazine.
He was also the artistic director of the "Festival Cimarosa" of Aversa.
Since 2005, he has lived in Venice, where he devotes himself to the raising of his two sons and to row in the Venetian style.
His current dream, no doubt not to be realized, is to become a gondoliere.

Winston-Salem's Clark Campbell Multimodal Transportation Center is located at the corner of Fifth, Trade, and Liberty streets. While its exterior compliments the Millennium Center building nearby, the Transportation Center's contemporary design features attractive and inviting open space for pedestrians and bus passengers. Sixteen covered bus parking bays adjacent to a glassed interior waiting area provide passengers the comfort of waiting indoors or outdoors and the convenience of boarding buses in a sheltered space.
Information Specialists are available to answer questions and provide information and directions. Change, tickets, and passes also are available.
The building incorporates these features:
The life work of New Orleans native Willie Birch has its foundation in summers spent at his grandfather's farm where he learned his family's rich history and came to take pride in the significance of his ancestor's accomplishments. He went on to combine his childhood goal of becoming an artist with his desire to document the history of Americans of African descent. Mr. Birch was selected for the Transportation Center project from a group of nationally and internationally known artists. To prepare for the creation of the artwork, Mr. Birch spent time in our community becoming familiar with its culture and traditions. He rode the buses, interviewed operators who had driven for the Safe Bus Company and the Winston-Salem Transit Authority (WSTA) for many years, and talked with passengers, listening to the stories they had to share. As Mr. Birch learned of the history of Winston-Salem's public transportation system, he developed the idea of creating a memory bank designed to remind current and future generations of the transportation history we share.
Mr. Birch created a colorful map of the community where WSTA buses travel. The map, done in long-lasting terrazzo tile, has vibrant colors to highlight the different communities of the city. Because he was so struck by our unique North Carolina red clay, Mr. Birch chose to use it as a primary color in his art.
In a second design, Mr. Birch used carved glass panels depicting the history of public transportation beginning in 1890. Mr. Birch has captured a source of great pride in our city by documenting the early railway system, the electric trolley cars, Safe Bus Company with its distinction as the largest transit system owned and operated by African Americans, and the eventual development of the Winston-Salem Transit Authority.

Heroism in Hell
Surviving the Holocaust: The Kovno Ghetto Diary
Kovno, Kaunas, Kowno, Kauen: all denote a single city in Lithuania that, in typical East European fashion, has gone by many names. "Kovno" is Russian and Jewish, bringing to mind the long periods of Russian domination and the ancient but now defunct Jewish presence there. "Kaunas" is Lithuanian and draws attention to that small nation, which in recent history lost, regained, lost again, and may soon recover its independence. "Kowno" is Polish, evoking the many centuries of Polish-Lithuanian joint rule but also Polish expansion into the region. Finally, "Kauen" is German, recalling the Germans who had a part in building the city and were merchants there, but also Nazi occupation. The city is said to derive its name from a Prince Koinas who allegedly founded it in 1030.
Avraham Tory partly wrote, partly dictated his ghetto diary, which begins on June 22, 1941, the day Germany attacked the Soviet Union, and ends on January 9, 1944, a short time before he escaped from the ghetto, and before the Jewish community of Kovno ceased to exist.1 Before he left, he hid the diary in five crates, along with the original copies of German orders and decrees, badges, insignia, photographs, and drawings by ghetto artists. Following the Red Army's occupation of Kovno in the summer of 1944, Tory returned to the city and recovered much of this material from the ruins. He has the diary's Yiddish original in Tel Aviv, where he lives; a Hebrew language edition appeared in Israel in 1988, but this is the first publication in any other language. Superbly complemented by Martin Gilbert's introduction and Dina Porat's notes, the diary is a historical document of major importance. It helps us to understand the relations among Germans, Lithuanians, and Jews, the complex hierarchy within the Jewish slave society created by the Nazis, the role of Jews and Christians in saving Jews, and the phenomenal achievements of Jewish Council members, teachers, artists, and medical workers.
Avraham Golub was born in 1909. (He adopted the name Tory only after moving to Israel.) He attended the Hebrew Gymnasium at Marijampolé in Lithuania, and then studied law at the Universities of Kovno and Pittsburgh, and he became assistant to a Jewish professor of law at the University of Kovno. A good athlete and a dedicated Zionist, he took part as a gymnast in the first Maccabiah Games in Tel Aviv in 1932. When the Soviet Army set up bases in Lithuania in October 1939, Tory worked for the local Soviet military construction administration but was dismissed after five months because of his Zionist past. After being interrogated repeatedly by the Soviet NKVD, he went into hiding to avoid deportation to Siberia and emerged just in time to see the German troops enter Lithuania on June 23, 1941. A month later, after the Nazis had decreed that a ghetto must be created, he became deputy secretary of the local Council of Elders until his escape two and a half years later. He…

Pitching pool catches Crew's eye entering Draft
After a year without first-round picks, Brewers eager to put big board to work
MILWAUKEE -- Bruce Seid's deep tan told the time of year. It's nearly Draft time.
Seid is in his sixth season as the Brewers' amateur scouting director, and he has been crisscrossing baseball country in recent months to prepare for his highest-ever selection. The Brewers own the 12th overall pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft, a three-day event that begins today.
"From Jan. 24 of this year, I've been back in Milwaukee seven days," Seid said. "You have to be on the road to see the players, because the players don't come to you. It's a busy schedule for everyone, but honestly, I enjoy the challenges of the travel. You're waking up really early to get some of those flights, but when you get to the ballpark and see something you like, it's well worth it."
Seid has seen a lot of players he likes this year, and, unlike last year, when the Brewers surrendered their first-round pick to sign free agent Kyle Lohse, he will not have to wait as long to do something about it.
Beginning with No. 12 overall, the Brewers have three selections among the top 50. Seid and his scouts have spent recent days building a Draft board, which is done digitally these days.
That means no more clunky binders of medical records or piles of player names on magnets. Now, thanks to a collaboration among assistant director of amateur scouting and baseball research Tod Johnson, the Brewers' IT department and an outside technology firm, the Brewers have an advanced system of scouting reports and medical files that aids Seid & Co.'s decision-making during the rapid-fire rounds of the Draft.
"It's more than really good. It's outstanding," Seid said. "It saves so much time compared to the way we used to do things. I don't want to get too much into it, but we're really proud of the way we've developed this system."
The 2014 Draft will take place today through Saturday, beginning with the Draft preview show on MLB.com and MLB Network today at 5 p.m. CT. Live Draft coverage from MLB Network's Studio 42 begins at 6 p.m., with the top 74 picks being streamed on MLB.com and broadcast on MLB Network. MLB.com's exclusive coverage of the second and third days will begin with a live Draft show at 11:30 a.m. CT on Friday.
MLB.com's coverage includes Draft Central, the Top 200 Draft Prospects list and Draft Tracker, a live interactive application that includes a searchable database of Draft-eligible players. Every selection will be tweeted live from @MLBDraftTracker, and you can also keep up to date by following @MLBDraft. And get into the Draft conversation by tagging your tweets with #mlbdraft.
Here's a glance at what the Brewers have in store for the Draft:
In about 50 words
"We eliminated a couple of guys up front that we know won't get to us, but we did have a look at the majority of the players who have a chance to get to 50," Seid said. "We've definitely zeroed in. We blanketed pretty good."
First-round buzz
Multiple mock drafts, including MLB.com's, have linked the Brewers to Vanderbilt right-hander Tyler Beede, while Kennesaw State catcher Max Pentecost, Oregon State outfielder Michael Conforto and South Carolina high school right-hander Grant Holmes have also been mentioned.
As usual, Seid would not tip his hand, though he characterized the first round as deep with pitching.
"I think it's pretty good," Seid said, "from the standpoint of high-leverage arms and high school arms and college pitchers. There's not as many position players, but there are some that are out there who may wind up being pretty good upside players. I think through the whole first round and throughout the Draft, there's a lot of depth."
Money matters
Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each team has an allotted bonus pool equal to the sum of the values of that club's selections in the first 10 rounds of the Draft. The more picks a team has, and the earlier it picks, the larger the pool. The signing bonuses for a team's selections in the first 10 rounds, plus any bonus greater than $100,000 for a player taken after the 10th round, will apply toward the bonus-pool total.
Brewers bonus pool
|Pick value
This year, the Brewers have $7,605,600 for their first 10 picks, including $2,805,700 assigned for the 12th overall selection.
Any team going up to 5 percent over its allotted pool will face a 75 percent tax rate on the overage. A team that overspends by 5 to 10 percent gets a 75 percent tax plus the loss of a first-round pick. A team that goes 10 to 15 percent over its pool amount will be hit with a 100 percent penalty on the overage and the loss of a first- and second-round pick. Any overage of 15 percent or more gets a 100 percent tax plus the loss of first-round picks in the next two Drafts.
"I think the way it's set up now and you're given a pool to work with, you can make the monies work if you feel that good about a guy," Seid said. "Signability is always an issue. You have to know a guy's desire to play. But where we're picking at 12, maybe there are a couple of players who would pass at that, but the vast majority of players would be ready to go out and play.
"As a matter of fact, since we started this new process, there have been more players signed, [including] more high school players, than in the past. The way this system has worked has been very advantageous."
Shopping list
Talent, talent and more talent. The Brewers have never drafted for need, though they did go pitching-heavy in Seid's first seasons in the top job in an attempt to balance the farm system. Instead, as with most organizations, the Brewers follow a "best player available" philosophy.
"I think as a group, as a scouting staff, our philosophy is we're not going to pass on a potentially premium player to take when others may think is a need," Seid said. "Because you may be passing on an All-Star player or a Hall of Famer to get a need player. You're taking what you perceive is the best player on the board, regardless of position."
Trend watch
After years of going hard for hitters with their top Draft picks (Rickie Weeks, Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, etc.), the Brewers have swung in different directions in recent seasons. Seid took pitchers with his top picks in 2009, 2010 and 2011, then took two hitters (catcher Clint Coulter and outfielder Victor Roache) with Milwaukee's first-round selections in 2012. Last year, without a first-round pick, the Brewers split their selections on Day 1 of the Draft, taking right-handed pitcher Devin Williams from Hazelwood West High School (Mo.) at No. 54 overall and shortstop Tucker Neuhaus from Tampa, Fla., at No. 72.
Rising fast
Brewers scouts remain very high on right-hander Taylor Jungmann, one of Milwaukee's two first-round picks in 2011. Jungmann, selected after a banner season at the University of Texas, was recently promoted to Triple-A Nashville and pitched six strong innings to win his first Pacific Coast League start. He is rated the Brewers' No. 8 prospect by MLB.com.
Cinderella story
The Brewers made right-hander David Goforth a seventh-round pick in 2011, but he has shot up to No. 13 on MLB.com's rankings of Brewers prospects since a move to relief. He finished 2013 strong in the Arizona Fall League, and he is currently closing games for Double-A Huntsville.
In The Show
Seid's first Draft began with a bust (right-hander Eric Arnett was released this year) but was nonetheless a boon for the organization. Six players from that year have already played for the Brewers, including current left fielder Khris Davis and second baseman Scooter Gennett. The next to join the list could be 17th rounder Tyler Cravy, a right-handed pitcher, and others like pitcher Brooks Hall, catcher Cameron Garfield and outfielder D'Vontrey Richardson have a chance as well.
The Brewers' recent top picks
2013: No first-round pick

UPDATE: 9:23 p.m. - Three inmates ran from the van when it stopped at the hospital. Police caught one of the inmates. Coleman and Burns were left on the loose. There were 11 total prisoners in the van. Three went inside the hospital with the two guards and three ran. Five stayed locked up in the back.
UPDATE: 6:17 p.m. - Authorities say they have located the two inmates that were still on the run from an attempted escape this afternoon. Michael Coleman and Lester Burns have been arrested and are back in custody.
Police say they were located near the 1200 block of Chestnut in Weatherford. They were apparently standing in a backyard in that area. It's not sure if anyone was home at that residence.
Here are the photos of all the inmates involved in the attempted escape:
UPDATE: 5:40 p.m. - Multiple police force agencies are in Weatherford, Oklahoma searching for two inmates still on the loose.
One is Michael Coleman. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a teddy bear on it. The other inmate is Lester Burns. He is wearing a camouflage t-shirt and he has a cast on his right arm.
Police say they stopped at the hospital because one inmate was complaining of chest pains. The two guards took three inmates into the hospital and left the rest of them in the van with the keys still in the ignition. Inmates were able kick out the partition in the van and got to the keys.
UPDATE: 3:47 p.m. - Authorities said they have six of the inmates back in custody who escaped from the Weatherford hospital Tuesday afternoon.
They have recovered the van and the shotgun as well. The van never left the hospital.
They are looking for one black man wearing a green t-shirt and blue jeans and a white man in a camouflage t-shirt.
Officials, this afternoon, said they found the van in a mobile home park in the area.
Authorities have not released the reasons they were arrested.
UPDATE 3:03 p.m. - We are getting reports that five of the inmates who escaped are back in custody. One may actually still be in the hospital and the two others are still on the loose.
Our report from earlier this afternoon:
WEATHERFORD, Okla. - Officials are searching for a group of inmates who they said escaped from a Weatherford hospital Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities said eight inmates took a white Chevrolet van with Tennessee plates, tag number 009-46H2 and speed fro the hospital.
Officials said they believe the van belongs to the "Prisoner Transportation Services of America" and has "PTS" written on the sides.
Weatherford officials said a shotgun was inside the van the inmates stole.
Authorities said they are not sure which direction the inmates might be traveling.
Police said the private company, PTS, was driving the inmates through Oklahoma when one got sick.
They stopped at a Weatherford hospital and that is when the inmates took off in the van.
If you see them or have any information, officials ask you to call 911 immediately.
According to the PTS website, they are based in Nashville, Tennessee, and is one of the nation's largest prisoner extradition services in the nation.
This company has lost prisoners in the past. Back in 2009 they lost an attempted-murder suspect between Florida and Pennsylvania. That led to a search for the cuffed and shackled inmate.
In 1995 a shackled inmate escaped in September at Philadelphia International Airport while in the custody of a Prisoner Transportation Services guard and was captured a week later in Maryland.

Issue No. 12, Article 4/June 22, 2012
Target Diseases When Considering Foliar Fungicides for Corn
With much of Illinois suffering from abnormally dry conditions to severe drought, the risk of corn foliar diseases in most of the state is currently low. Although foliar fungicides are touted for a variety of reasons--including "plant health," "yield bumps," and "yield enhancements"--these effects have not been observed consistently in University of Illinois trials when foliar disease pressure is low.
Since 2008, the plant pathology program in the University of Illinois Department of Crop Sciences has conducted annual foliar fungicide trials on corn across the state. A number of products, including Headline, Headline AMP, Stratego, Stratego YLD, Quilt, Quilt Xcel, and Bumper, are applied between the VT and R1 growth stages (tassel emergence to beginning silking). At each location, disease severity is measured by evaluating the ear leaves of each plot and estimating the percentage of leaf area affected by disease. These measurements are collected about 4 weeks after foliar fungicides are applied.
A summary of the trials is shown in Figure 1. On the horizontal axis, the measurement of disease severity (percentage of ear leaf with lesions) observed in the nontreated control is divided into three levels: less than 10%, between 10% and 14%, and 15% or greater. The number of trials for each category (N) is indicated, along with the mean yield response and the frequency of achieving a yield response of at least 5 bu/A. This yield response level can be used as a measure of profitability. With current corn prices, fungicide prices, and application costs, a 5 bu/A yield response would be close to the "break-even" or "profitable" mark.
Figure 1. A summary of University of Illinois corn foliar fungicide trials conducted from 2008 to 2011 across the state. Foliar fungicides were applied between VT and R1.
This summary indicates that disease pressure plays an extremely important role in achieving a positive yield response with a foliar fungicide and in consistently achieving economically positive yield responses. Under low disease pressure (less than 10% severity), the mean yield response was only 0.7 bu/A, and a response of at least 5 bu/A was achieved only 23% of the time. Under moderate disease pressure (10% to 14% severity), the mean yield response was 4.8 bu/A, and a response of at least 5 bu/A was achieved 50% of the time. Under high disease pressure (at least 15% severity), the mean yield response was 12.7 bu/A, and a response of at least 5 bu/A was achieved 100% of the time. In these trials, gray leaf spot generally was the most severe disease, but northern leaf blight and southern corn rust also were present in a few trials.
These results clearly reveal that disease pressure plays a critical role in the magnitude and consistency of yield response to a foliar fungicide application in corn. The difficult part is being able to predict before the VT to R1 stages what type of disease pressure may develop later in the season. To make such a prediction, one needs to consider disease risk factors and to scout for disease.
Disease risk factors include these:
- Susceptibility level of corn hybrid. Seed companies typically can provide information on the susceptibility of their hybrids to gray leaf spot and northern leaf blight. In general, hybrids that are more susceptible to fungal foliar diseases will have a greater response to a foliar fungicide (if disease pressure is high enough).
- Previous crop. Because many foliar pathogens survive in corn residue, the risk of foliar diseases (such as gray leaf spot and northern leaf blight) increases when corn is planted back into a field that grew corn the previous year.
- Weather. Rainy and/or humid weather generally is most favorable to foliar diseases. In growing seasons when these conditions prevail, the risk for disease development increases.
- Field history. Some field locations have a history of high foliar disease severity. Fields in river bottoms or low areas or those surrounded by trees may be more prone to foliar corn diseases.
Scout for foliar diseases in corn just before tassel emergence. Current disease management guidelines suggest the following criteria by hybrid type for considering an application of foliar fungicide:
- Susceptible hybrids--if disease symptoms are present on the third leaf below the ear or higher on 50% of the plants examined.
- Intermediate hybrids--if disease symptoms are present on the third leaf below the ear or higher on 50% of the plants examined, if the field is in an area with a history of foliar disease problems, if the previous crop was corn, if there is surface residue of 35% or more, and if the weather is warm and humid.
- Resistant hybrids--fungicide applications generally are not recommended.
According to the data from our corn fungicide trials, if at least 15% of ear leaf area is affected by disease at the end of the season, a foliar fungicide applied between VT and R1 would likely have been beneficial. Using the disease risk factors and scouting observations collected just before tassel emergence will help you predict how severe disease may be several weeks from the VT to R1 stages and help you decide whether to apply a foliar fungicide.--Carl A.

I downloaded the portable packages of MikTex and TeXStudio, and unpacked them onto usb flash drive. I do not understand what to do next to configure the TeXstudio to use or work with the MikTeX. I do not understand how to use the information in the documentation I found.
I have seen but really do not understand this: Configuring portable TeXstudio to use MiKTeX portable
The files I started with are miktex-portable-2.9.4250.exe and texstudio251_win32-usb.zip. The computer is with Windows XP s.p. 3, intel celeron 2.0 GHz processor; and since the portables listed easily fit on the usb flash drive, the space there is more than enough.
Now, what do I do so that I can start to learn to use these programs? How exactly to make the configuring? Thanks.

text: Share: February 17, 2008 Acid Rain, Environmental Policy Cary Institute scientists have provided leadership in acid rain research, but acid rain is not limited to our area—it occurs widely across the eastern United States, Europe, China, and other industrialized areas around the world. How does rain become acidic and why do we care?The pH scale is used to express the acidity of water. Pure water has a neutral pH of 7.0; it has an equal number of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxyl ions (OH-). When we mix other substances into water, its pH can change. Acidic solutions have more H+ and a lower pH, and alkaline solutions have more OH- and a higher pH.In our area, due to acids that occur naturally in the atmosphere, the background pH of rain is between 5.0 and 5.5. Human activities can cause pH levels to drop lower. Coal-fired power plants and motor vehicles release nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. When rain passes through these pollutants, nitric and sulfuric acids form, and pH levels can dip below 3.0.The pH scale is not linear; rain with a pH of 3.0 is ten times more acidic than rain at pH 4.0 and 10,000 times more acidic than rain at pH 7.0.Streams in the eastern U.S. tend to be naturally somewhat acidic, but this does not mean that they are immune to acid rain. Human inputs can magnify natural levels of acidity. When acidic runoff enters streams and lakes, it can be toxic to aquatic animals, including fish. Most fish are unable to survive when the pH drops below 5.0.In excess, the hydrogen ions that cause acidity also leach important nutrients, such as calcium and potassium, from the plants and soil. This can cause nutrient deficiencies that stunt forest growth. Birds may also suffer. In some areas, calcium loss is so severe that birds have a difficult time ingesting enough of this important mineral in their diet. As a result, they are unable to form eggshells during the spring nesting period.For some time now, the scientific community has had solid evidence that acid precipitation is linked to the widespread burning of coal and oil for power and transportation. Resulting emissions, delivered to the landscape via rain, snow, particles, and gases, have overwhelmed natural soil acidity and caused excessive leaching of soil nutrients. At the same time, we've reduced the amount of acid-neutralizing substances in the atmosphere.As dirt roads were paved and particulate scrubbers were added to smokestacks, calcium-rich particle emissions have been reduced. To some extent, our efforts to clean up one form of air pollution (i.e., particulates and dust) have exacerbated the impact of another (acidic gases). But most small particles aren't good for us either, so it is important that we strive to reduce the emission of both particles and acidic substances into the atmosphere.In the past few years, acid rain has not been making newspaper headlines. In part, this stems from the success of the Clean Air Act, which has helped reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants.But the long-term data are clear— acid rain has not disappeared. An important next step is minimizing nitrogen oxide emissions. These acidic pollutants are emitted by cars and trucks as well as power plants. The good news is that sound energy use and fossil fuel conservation will help minimize both acid rain and the ill-effects of global climate change.

BSA urges government to fight software pirates
Lobby fodder
More than a quarter (27 per cent) of PC software used in the UK is illegal, according to a survey by the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The latest edition of the industry organisation's Global Piracy Study shows the rate of illegal software in Britain is unchanged from 2004.
Continued "disrespect" by UK businesses towards Intellectual Property cost software publishers more than $1.8bn last year, the fifth largest total in the world, according to the study, which was conducted by IDC on behalf of the BSA.
It's hard to say how many instances of pirated software represent actual lost sales at full retail price. The distinction between the "retail value of pirated software" and "sales lost to piracy" is not addressed in the BSA's survey. This point is worth noting because the BSA uses headline figures on software piracy in the course of its lobbying efforts.
Indeed, the BSA is calling on the UK government to tackle what it describes as a "piracy culture" in the country. "Lack of respect for IP in the form of software piracy is having a hugely detrimental effect on the UK's IT industry, and we hope the government continues to drive awareness around IP and pushes for the introduction of tougher enforcement measures," said Siobhan Carroll, regional manager of the BSA's operations in northern Europe.
The BSA highlights the recent launch of a a new ISO Standard, ISO/IEC 19770-1, for software asset management as a positive development that gives organisations a framework for achieving compliance. "While the ISO is aimed at larger companies, we welcome its launch and urge SMEs to adopt the spirit it advocates by purchasing and managing their software responsibly," Carroll added.
Worldwide losses from software piracy came to $34bn in 2005, an increase of $1.6bn over the previous year. The highest piracy rates are found in Vietnam (90 per cent), Zimbabwe (90 per cent), Indonesia (87 per cent). The lowest levels of software piracy were recorded in the US (21 per cent), New Zealand (23 per cent), Austria (26 per cent).
The BSA/IDC study covers packaged software running on PCs. The study omits software made available through a service or packages that run on mainframes or servers. IDC developed its figures using its statistics for software and hardware shipments in addition to 5,600 surveys and input from analysts in 38 countries to analyse software piracy trends. IDC's methodology involved an attempt to determine how much packaged software was used last year. The amount paid for packaged software last year was subtracted from this figure to estimate unlicensed software use. ®

In the U.S., the word "bookie" might conjure up images of shady men dealing out of backrooms at horse tracks. But in the U.K., bookies are busy taking bets on a most highbrow competition: the Nobel Prize in Literature. Gambling has long been a massive industry in Britain, but the rise of the Internet made betting easier than ever before; people go online to wager on everything from soccer matches to politics to who will win X Factor. According to a report from the Gambling Commission an independent body sponsored by the U.K.'s Department for Culture, Media and Sport the gambling industry brought in £5.7 billion ($8.8 billion) from April 2009 to March 2010 alone.
Leading up to the October 6th announcement of the Nobel Prize in literature, London-based company Ladbrokes will be offering updated rankings of prospective winners' chances. People can go online to see the latest odds (as of this writing, Philip Roth and Haruki Murakami are 16/1 and 8/1, respectively) and place a bet accordingly. Take those odds with a grain of salt, however: Bob Dylan currently has the astounding odds of 5/1. To get an idea of what goes into literary gambling, TIME spoke with Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes.
Ladbrokes currently has Bob Dylan ranked with the best odds at 5/1. How do you calculate a writer's odds?
At the very start, when we put our list together, we have people for the shortlist and we have an in-house expert who uses lots of things on the internet forums and social media and who is quite a big literature fanatic himself, and he puts the list together. Then he puts the odds together based firstly on who he thinks has a chance and secondly on who represents the current thinking of the panel and wider world. And obviously, as soon as people start betting, that's also when things will change.
So we introduced Bob Dylan at 100/1. We put him in because we thought that maybe he'd have a chance and a few dedicated Bob Dylan fans might want to bet, but [we assumed ]that no one would take him seriously. But now, obviously there's been a massive gamble and we've taken bets from all over the world Sweden, Japan, Canada, all of Europe on Bob Dylan. People out there betting just can't get enough and they keep backing him.
So you have a lot of people outside of Britain betting?
Oh, definitely. To be honest with you, in terms of the international appeal of the award, it's probably one of the biggest betting markets for us to attract customers from all over the world. Virtually every country that we can legally take bets from [which excludes the U.S.] has people betting on this. If you look at the shortlist, it's like the who's-who of international literary figures, so it attracts a lot of people.
When does betting close?
We try to keep betting open as long as we can until the announcement. At this stage we're going to keep it open all day [Wednesday] and into [Thursday] morning. We'll close maybe half an hour to an hour before the announcement [at 1:00 p.m. CET].
How many years has Ladbrokes been taking bets on literary prizes?
We've been taking bets on not just the Nobel literary prize but also awards like the Man Booker Prize for about the last seven or eight years now. It's really growing. The amount of money we've taken on the literature prize has increased 400 percent since we first started taking bets. It started off as people just betting a couple of quid [pounds] and people weren't really interested, but now it's a real phenomenon. People are really interested in having a bet on this people who might not be really interested in sports but still want to get the thrill of placing a bet.
I read that last year was the biggest for Ladbrokes in terms of Nobel literature betting. How is this year stacking up?
Yes, last year was the highest year and we've already virtually doubled that number [this year]. We're really happy with the way things have gone. But at this stage, if Bob Dylan wins, I think we might lose [some money] but that's just the game we're in, isn't it?
So how much do Dylan gamblers stand to win if he scores the prize?
Overall, Bob Dylan tracks about 30 to 40 percent of the bets so I think if Bob Dylan wins and it's hard to say at this stage, because all the bets are rolling in now but we reckon that if Bob Dylan wins we'll be paying out a good five-figure sum.
What were the odds for last year's winner, Mario Vargas Llosa?
Last year's winner was 40/1 and that was on the morning of the prize as well, so it shows how much of a shock result it actually was. Well, a shocking result in betting terms anyway.
Who would you put your money on this year?
Me? Well, to tell you the truth I'm allowed to bet, but I'm not allowed to bet with my own company. But if I was going to have a bet, I've heard from the beginning that the [Syrian] poet Adonis would have been worth a couple of quid. Obviously he was the favorite to begin with and there are a lot of quite shrewd people in the literary world who seem to think a poet might seem to be the winner for this year. If I was having a bet with another firm, then my [money] would be on Adonis.

My name is Isaac Dupree (alias melioria). In the summer of 2009, I completed two major projects for the code-documentation software for the programming language Haskell. This software is called "Haddock" (similar in spirit to Doxygen; Haddock is used nearly universally in the Haskell world). My patches were merged and released as of GHC 6.12.1 and Haddock 2.6.0.
In summary: I decoupled the parsing of Haddock-comments from the GHC code-base, and I made it possible (when it is appropriate) for comments from a dependent library package to show up in the generated HTML documentation. I also fixed a couple other standing issues with the HTML generation, and have followed up by fixing bugs discovered later in this code.
This project occurred under the umbrella of Google Summer of Code, in the Haskell organization. My mentor was David Waern, who deserves much thanks for guiding me to choose stable, maintainable shape for my patches to the code base.

January 2004, an FGDC paper on the history of the FGDC and NSDI
Planting the Seeds
In July 1973 the Report of the Federal Mapping Task Force on Mapping, Charting, Geodesy, and Surveying was published, representing the analyses and recommendations of representatives from the Office of Management and Budget, the Forest Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Defense Mapping Agency, and the U.S. Geological Survey. They found that most of the major cartographic agencies were in the process of developing and implementing computer-assisted automated systems, although no complete system had been developed at that time. The Task Force recognized that there were fast-growing cartographic requirements to relate points and areas on the ground to the social, economic, and ecological framework of our society and to present these relationships in digital form. The advent of the digital computer was ushering in a new revolution in mapping.
From Digital Evolution to Revolution
Over the decade following the Task Force Report there was extensive research, development and application of computer-assisted cartography in government agencies. Fledgling digital mapping programs were initiated in the late 1970's in many government agencies. Within the Department of the Interior, the Geological Survey started its "Digital Mapping Program," the Bureau of Land Management initiated their "Automated Land and Mineral Record System." Other (DOI) Bureaus, while not having major automated cartography programs, were using the technology for project specific purposes. Soon advances in the technology coupled with reduced computer costs fueled an explosion in digital cartographic programs government-wide.
To assess the magnitude and growth of digital cartographic activities in the Federal government the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) initiated two studies. The first study, conducted in 1980 by the Office of Science and Technology Policy, identified the scope of Federal digital cartographic activities and assessed the next course of action in this evolving field. Recommendations from this study focused on establishing a centralized data base and a schema for building this data base. The second study was conducted by the General Accounting Office (GAO) in 1982. Three major findings resulted from this study: 1) it showed that there was a substantial duplication of effort in the Federal community, which was expected to increase; 2) there was a lack of prescribed standards; and, 3) there was inadequate interagency coordination. It was following the completion of this study that OMB issued a memorandum in 1983 establishing a formal committee with the specific charge of coordinating digital cartographic activities among Federal agencies.
From Revolution to Coordination
This newly established committee was called the Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee on Digital Cartography (FICCDC). The DOI was identified as chair of this committee that included representatives from the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, State, Transportation, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The FICCDC was specifically charged to "improve the use of digital cartographic base data within the Federal government and to provide a framework for its proper management." Within this context the committee addressed the key issues of data base development, standards, and duplicative effort.
By the late 1980's the distinction between the fields of automated cartography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was becoming blurred. The use of this automated technology was now omnipresent. New and growing administrative and regulatory responsibilities assigned to agencies were placing tremendous pressure on existing information delivery systems. Computerized spatial data handling technologies, such as GIS had emerged as cost-effective tools for solving complex geographical problems and assisting decision-makers in finding solutions to real-world management challenges. In recognition of these changes taking place, the OMB in 1989, renewed the charter of the FICCDC and tasked the committee to look at the future of spatial data coordination in the Federal Government. Specifically, 1) to prepare an analysis evaluating the FICCDC mission as it related to an expanded role in coordinating Federal use of digital spatial data, 2) to provide recommendations for appropriate FICCDC activities beyond its current charter, and 3) to conduct a review of and prepare recommendations for potential revisions to OMB Circular A-16, Coordination of Surveying and Mapping Activities, to incorporate Federal activities relating to digital spatial data. In December 1989, the FICCDC held a two-day "Forum on Spatial Data Coordination" bringing together representatives from 60 organizations/agencies to discuss, debate, and formulate recommendations to affect the future shape and character of coordination. Specific recommendations from this Forum were to 1) increase the breadth of coordination of Circular A-16 from 3 categories of spatial data to 10 categories, 2) change the committee name to reflect this broader coordination responsibility, and 3) the new committee and its expanded responsibilities should be incorporated within a revised OMB Circular A-16.
From FICCDC to FGDC
OMB issued a revised Circular A-16 on October 19, 1990 formally establishing the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), chaired by the Secretary of the Interior, to look at the broader national landscape (with involvement of Federal, State, and local governments, and the private sector) of spatial activities, and called for the "development of a national digital spatial information resource, linked by criteria and standards, that will enable sharing and efficient transfer of spatial data between producers and users." This 'resource' has come to be known as the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The NSDI is viewed as a series of actions to bring about improved collection, sharing, and use of geographic information. It provides a base or structure of relationships among data producers and users, and a foundation for data applications, services, and products.
The FGDC has grown into a 19 member interagency committee composed of representatives from the Executive Office of the President, Cabinet-level and independent agencies. In addition, the Committee has involvement from 32 State Geographic Information Councils, and 9 non-Federal organizations representing broad sector interests. Since it's inception the FGDC has worked to put in place the 6 basic building blocks or 'common' elements of the NSDI: Metadata, Clearinghouse, Standards, Framework, Geospatial data, and Partnerships. Each of the component parts are the keystones of establishing consistency and structure in documenting spatial data for everyday applications, and in building a distributed network of producers and users that facilitates the sharing of these data. While the NSDI serves as a the supporting infrastructure, it will be further developed and maintained as a growing resource by new users who will contribute their data for access and use by others.
In 1994, Presidential Executive Order 12906 specifically called for the establishment of the NSDI for the Nation and laid out specific actions to be achieved. Presidential attention to the NSDI served as a catalyst to galvanize the nation's interest and served as a springboard to launch numerous committee initiatives to engage both Federal and non-federal organizations. One of the major initiatives was the establishment of the NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program. This merit-based funding assistance program provides seed money to encourage collaborative NSDI resource sharing projects between and among the public and private sector. Since it's inception, this grant program has provided funding for over 200 projects involving more than 1000 organizations. Many of those organizations have institutionalized NDSI practices and have become anchor tenants on the NSDI, and thereby attracted others to use and become a part of the infrastructure.
Future Directions
Today, this Presidential Administration's awareness and heightened interest in geography and geospatial data in the decision-making process has cast an intense spotlight on the FGDC and the NSDI, and has led the OMB to again revise, reissue (July 2001), and rename Circular A-16 "Coordination of Geographic Information and Related Spatial Data Activities," 1) adding the OMB as co-chair of the FGDC, 2) increasing the breadth of coordination to 34 data categories, 3) more clearly articulating and strengthening Federal agency roles and responsibilities for the NSDI, and 4) stressing the importance and requirement of interagency/intersector collaboration.
In addition, Presidential E-Gov initiative "Geospatial One-Stop" was launched in 2003 to make it easier, faster, and cheaper for all national sectors to locate and access geospatial information . It is intended to build upon existing capabilities and ongoing agency programs to accelerate the implementation of the NSDI. Current and expected future national and international priorities such as security, environmental and economic issues make the basic tenets of the NSDI more relevant now than ever before. To reap the benefits of the vast data resources being generated today and expected in the future, it is important that agencies make the investment in and the commitment to those same basic tenets - common standards, data partnerships and accessible data. In its first decade, the FGDC had great success in introducing the concepts of data sharing, putting in place the building blocks to facilitate the sharing, and promoting the tenets of the NSDI. In fact, the basic tenets of the NSDI are embraced by many foreign countries as they develop their own spatial data infrastructures in the growing 'global spatial data infrastructure.' In the next decade the goal of the FGDC will be enabling widespread implementation through data sharing and data integration, to move us all closer to the kind of spatial data infrastructure that will truly enable reaching the vision of the NSDI : "Current and accurate geospatial data will be readily available to contribute locally, nationally, and globally to economic growth, environmental quality and stability, and social progress."

Scrapbook How To: Using the Rule of Thirds to Create Fabulous Photos
The Rule of Thirds divides your photo into imaginary vertical and horizontal lines, creating equal thirds each way. When you place objects on the four intersecting points of the created grid, the Rule of Thirds will give your photos symmetry, depth, and added emotion.
Photo by Elisha Snow, as seen in the July/August 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine, p. 89.
Elisha Snow's photo demonstrates how you can use the Rule of Thirds to give more emotion to your photos. Your eye is immediately drawn to Elisha's son, whose eyes rest on the bottom-right intersection of the Rule of Thirds, and then to her other son holding the flag on the upper-left intersection.
Because Elisha set the most heartwarming parts of her phots as these focal points, she has created a great blend of emotion and art.
Try setting your focal points at the intersection of the Rule of Thirds grid, like Elisha did, to add more emotional dimension to your photos. Most cameras offer an option to display the Rule of Thirds grid on the LCD screen, making it easier to perfectly compose your photo.
If your camera doesn't offer this, or if you'd like to crop your photos using the Rule of Thirds grid, check out our easy Rule of Thirds download.
Summer Pride by Elisha Snow.
Elisha's layout is designed to make her Rule of Third photo pop. Using simple vertical and horizontal lines and embellishments to frame her photo, Elisha has complimented the Rule of Three grid in her photo. Placing her photo in the upper-right intersection of the layout, the photo of Elisha's sons still remains the focal point of the page.
To see additional photos using the Rule of Thirds, take a look at July/August 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine.

Earthwatch participants collected critical data to help ensure the survival of Kenya's black rhinos.
Have a question?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Working with the Kenya Wildlife Service, Earthwatch volunteers participated in research to ensure the welfare of rhinos and other wildlife in protected sanctuaries.
In 1970, 20,000 black rhinos roamed Kenya. Today, as a result of extensive poaching, there are only about 540 left. The surviving rhinos are concentrated in sanctuaries where they are protected from poachers, and populations in these sanctuaries are increasing. In the future, rhinos from these critically important breeding populations may be reintroduced to their former homes.
Once the rhinos were under protection, scientists noted that some groups bred at a much higher rate than others. The Saving Kenya's Black Rhinos project researched the causes of this and explored the habitat requirements and dynamics of the black rhino population at the Ol Pejeta refuge. The project also focused on the interactions between rhinos and other animals in the area, including elephants, giraffes, and other herbivores. The findings helped to determine how many rhinos and other large animals can coexist within a habitat before the habitat becomes damaged, resulting in lower breeding rates.
Earthwatch volunteers not only made a significant contribution to the welfare of black rhinos, they also enjoyed the opportunity to see the "big five" - elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard - on a daily basis during afternoon and night game drives.
Earthwatch researchers gathered data to help make accurate predictions regarding damage to trees, available food, and other concerns.
Protecting wildlife is just a start; managing reserves ensures the welfare of species in the long term.
What will happen to Kenya's wildlife reserves as populations of rhinos and other animals grow? Earthwatch researchers gathered data to help make accurate predictions regarding issues such as damage to trees, available food, and other concerns. Park managers use these predictions to determine how many animals can live in a given area, with the overall aim of maximizing black rhino breeding potential.
To determine just how many animals can sustainability inhabit an enclosed reserve, researchers developed a GIS map of the reserve and surrounding ranches, showing the amount of vegetation in the area over time. If rhinos and elephants were changing the amount of vegetation, the maps would clearly indicate the amount and type of change.
Earthwatch investigators also looked at questions such as: How have rhinos adjusted their home ranges since the reserve expanded? Have rhinos and other animals found enough to eat? Are elephants and rhinos competing for space? Are giraffes competing for food with rhinos or elephants?
This project investigated habitat issues pertinent to conservation of black rhinos in Kenya.
In addition to conducting research on rhinos and elephants, the scientists and volunteers investigated the declining population of Jackson's hartebeest. The findings suggested that the hartebeest might be declining because of predators in the area.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy was created in 1989 as a sanctuary for black rhinos relocated from other sites in Kenya. Now, with 80 black rhinos, it has one of the highest populations in Kenya. Located about 160 miles (260 kilometers) north of Nairobi, it is on a loop that tour operators follow when taking visitors around Kenya.
The Laikipia Plateau is a lava plateau used almost entirely for cattle and sheep ranching. The vegetation in the reserve is a mosaic of grassland and woodlands, featuring acacia and euclea trees. Wildlife is plentiful and diverse, and includes zebras, warthogs, gazelles, and baboons, in addition to the big five.
This is a summary:
The volunteers were trained in the use of the compass, GPS unit, telescopic tree height measuring device, quadrant, clinometer, and laser rangefinder. They learned how to move quietly through the bush, navigate to a tree plot, find individual trees, measure tree heights, and record the data. They also learned to identify the 15 tree and shrub species that make up the main vegetation types of the reserve and ranch.
On the afternoon of Day 2, the volunteers went into the bush with two armed guards from the research center and the Earthwatch scientist or field team leader. They learned how to recognize birds and tracks and other signs of mammals. They were then assigned to groups to work in rotation on data collection, including elephant habitat use and distribution; measurement of tree growth and damage; monitoring of rhinos, Jackson's hartebeest, and other wildlife; and interactions between acacias and the ants that live on them.
On recreational days, the volunteers visited local communities to learn about their culture and the role conservation plays in funding development and improving livelihoods. The volunteers heard talks from livestock and community managers, and visited a local village, a school, a health center, and a cooperative of women who sell handmade yarn, rugs, and sweaters.
Volunteers were trained in field measurement techniques.
Research by Dr. Wahungu, supported by Earthwatch volunteers, enabled a model for rational management of the black rhino habitat in Ol Pejeta.
Dr. Wahungu teaches and consults on wildlife research and monitoring.
Camp consists of several simple buildings erected on a large clearing in Budongo Forest. You'll stay in a single room that contains a bed, beddings, mosquito net, reading desk and a chair. All rooms are connected to solar electricity. There are three pit latrines on site which are shared by all. You'll have access to a warm shower, every evening after a long day's work. Water used at camp is harvested off the roofs or taken from the Sonso River so frugal use is necessary.
Evening meals are prepared by cooks who will prepare dishes including rice, chapati, potatoes, spaghetti, beans, beef, fish, ground nuts (peanuts), cow peas, assorted fresh vegetables and fruits, eggs. There are other local foods such as cassava, stewed bananas (locally known as matooke) and maize bread (locally known as ugali or posho). Breakfast will be western style.

Nothing but positive things to say about this trip with one exception. The access to wildlife was amazing. So many animals I usually refer to a list rather than try to remember them all.. Great educational experience in wildlife conservation and the issues surrounding endangered species. Night game drives, sundowners and fireside chats at night put it over the top. Only negative.........we were in the middle of some of the best coffee beans being grown in the world yet we only had access to instant coffee (Sanka). :) Michael Smith
