A man with links to the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for his role in a terrifying road rage attack at Blaxland last year.
At least eight people were charged over the violent incident that occurred just before 3.30pm on June 9, when a group of Finks members and associates travelling citybound became involved in an altercation with the occupants of a white BMW at traffic lights at Layton Avenue on the Great Western Highway.
But only Penrith-born George Lansdell, 27, a prospective member at the time, has pleaded guilty to the attack, which saw gang members hit and kick at the car inflicting about $30,000 worth of damage while the frightened occupants remained inside.
He was sentenced to a nine-month non-parole period last Thursday, with Penrith Local Court Magistrate Andrew George describing the offence as "horrific".
"These events are so awful, and quite plainly caused such distress, that there can only be one response," he said.
A collision between the BMW and one of the bikes, resulting in the rider being knocked off, sparked the incident, police were told. The court heard the parties were unknown to each other and the rider uninjured.
During sentencing, the court was shown mobile phone footage captured by a fellow motorist showing gang members surrounding the car. As police arrive, many members leave the scene.
Lansdell's lawyer stressed the defendant had now severed ties with the group.
"For my client to go out on a limb would confirm my submission that he's left the club," he said.
Despite already spending just shy of four months in custody, Magistrate George imposed further jail time.
He said while it brought him "no joy" to see him incarcerated, he had to do what the community expected and denounce the offence as well as "discourage others who think such behaviour is ever acceptable".
Police heavy handedness was also raised, with Lansdell's lawyer submitting his client was "capsicum sprayed and kicked multiple times" in response to shoving a police officer with his chest.
"It does seem somewhat of a strong reaction," he suggested.
He is eligible for release on June 29.

Always be prepared...
For the moment of pleasure with this detachable and compact adult toy. Now it's convenient to take the MiVibe out of the bedroom and make it a part of your wardrobe with a variety of different necklace styles.
As quoted by AVN July 2008:
"The MiVibe takes the top-selling, waterproof BMS Power Bullet on the go - by turning it into a wardrobe piece. They've added a detachable clip to their three-speed vibe, so it's easy to use at a moment's notice; a colored chain of faux-pearl necklace, depending on the style (the black beads/black vibe is my favorite); and an exquisitely made magnetic-closure box that's great for display or storage."

Republican Rep. Ross Spano sponsored the bill which was passed in Tallahassee, Florida, on Tuesday morning calling for research, education and policy changes to protect Florida citizens from pornography.
There is a "... correlation between pornography use and mental and physical illnesses, difficulty forming and maintaining intimate relationships, unhealthy brain development and cognitive function, and deviant, problematic or dangerous sexual behavior," said Spano.
Utah, the state with the highest consumption of porn per person, was the first state to pass a resolution declaring pornography as a public health crisis back in 2016. Utah has since been joined by South Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Virginia, Pennsylvania and this week, Florida. Even the Canadian Parliament has passed a motion to study the public health impacts of pornography.
President Trump also signed a pledge during his election campaign to defend the innocence and dignity of America's children by enforcing the existing federal laws and advancing public policies designed to, "prevent the sexual exploitation of children online and to make the Internet safer for all."
So why the movement to declare porn a public health crisis?
Because it is!
Jeremy Wiles, who directed a film series that helps men break free from porn, had the opportunity to interview several brain experts in the making of the Conquer Series. "I interviewed a neuroscientist who showed me brain SPECT scans of a normal brain, a heroin addicted brain and a porn-addicted brain. The porn-addicted brain had the greatest deterioration in brain activity" says Wiles.
When a mother is breastfeeding her child, her brain releases neurochemicals that bond her to her child. When you watch porn, these same powerful neurochemicals such as dopamine are released, which bond you to those images. This is why Satan attacks our sexuality so much, because in attacking human sexuality it actually interferes with human bonding. According to neuropsychologist, Dr. Tim Jennings from the Conquer Series, "Any type of repetitive behavior will create trails in our brain that are going to fire on an automatic sequence." The result is years of bondage.
Churches should be the hospitals in this health crisis, but only 7 percent of pastors say they have a program for those struggling with porn.
In a 2016 Barna Group research study commissioned by Josh McDowell Ministry, church leadership indicated that this problem is much bigger than it was 20 years ago, yet only 7 percent of pastors said they have a ministry program for those struggling with porn.
Thankfully, there is a solution!
Thousands of churches in over 70 countries are beginning to run the Conquer Series, a cinematic study to help men conquer porn and walk in freedom.
Dr. Ted Roberts, host of the Conquer Series, who has counseled thousands of men to freedom from pornography, discusses why so many people in the church can't stop viewing porn. Churches often treat this issue as a moral one, but fail to recognize it's mainly a brain problem, "We tell men to try harder, pray harder, love Jesus more." Dr. Roberts adds, "But, what starts off as a moral problem, quickly becomes a brain problem. Telling a man to try harder is only tightening the 'noose' of bondage."

11 Most Dangerous Mountains in the World
Photo: Darcy McCarty
matadornetwork.com - Whenever experienced climbers and mountaineers put crampon to ice, they accept some degree of danger.
Accidents can occur even at relatively benign roadside crags. Still, there are certain mountains that command respect from even the most experienced climbers, mountains that continue to inspire awe and anxiety decades after their first ascents.
Here are 11 of the world's most dangerous mountains:
1. Annapurna
Since its first ascent in 1950, Annapurna has been climbed by more than 130 people, but 53 have died trying. This high fatality rate makes Annapurna, the 10th highest mountain in the world, the most statistically dangerous of the 8,000 meter peaks. For more information on getting close to this mountain, check out Trekking the Annapurna Sanctuary in Nepal.
The world's second highest mountain is known among climbers as one of the most technically difficult in the world. Ascents of even the easiest route require crossing a complicated glacier, ascending steep sections of rock, and negotiating a path around a series of ice pillars, called seracs, which are prone to collapse without warning. The technical difficulty of this mountain makes it one of the most committing and dangerous in the world.

3. Nanga Parbat
The world's ninth highest peak, Nanga Parbat, competes with K2 in terms of technical difficulty. The route of the first ascent follows a narrow ridge to the summit. On the southern side is the largest mountain face on earth, the 15,000 foot Rupal Face. The difficulty of these routes has earned the mountain the nickname "The Man Eater."
4. Kangchenjunga
When you look at the fatality rates on the world's most dangerous mountains, you'll see that most decrease as time goes on. One notable exception is Kangchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. Death rates have reached as high as 22% in recent years, a reflection of the avalanche and and weather hazards that plague this dangerous mountain.
If you are interested in seeing this mountain up close, Matador Trips has a great reference: Trekking the Mt. Kangchenjunga Circuit in Nepal.
5. The Eiger
The Nordwand, or north face, of this peak in the Swiss Alps is an objective legendary among mountaineers for its danger. Though it was first climbed in 1938, the north face of the Eiger continues to challenge climbers of all abilities with both its technical difficulties and the heavy rockfall that rakes the face.
The difficulty and hazards have earned the Eiger's north face the nickname Mordwand, or Murder Wall.

6. The Matterhorn
This iconic mountain, which looks like a horn rising out of the surrounding valleys, has one of the highest fatality rates of any peak in the Alps. This is caused by a wide range of factors, including technical difficulty, the prevalence of avalanches and rockfall, and severe overcrowding on routes during peak climbing seasons.
7. Mt. Vinson
Mt. Vinson, the highest mountain in Antarctica, is not notable for its height, technical difficulty, or fatality rate. However, the mountain's isolation, combined with the extreme cold and unpredictable weather on the continent, makes Vinson a very serious undertaking. Even a small accident here could be disastrous.
8. Baintha Brakk
Commonly known as The Ogre, Baintha Brakk is considered one of the most difficult mountains to climb in the world. Though it saw its first ascent in 1971, The Ogre was not summited again until 2001. One of the first ascentionists, Doug Scott, broke both of his legs on the descent, forcing him to crawl through a major storm to the team's base camp.
This famous epic and more than 20 failed attempts on the peak have earned it a reputation as one of the most dangerous in the world.

9. Mt. Everest
More that 1,500 people have climbed the highest mountain in the world, with as many as 50 people or more reaching the summit on a single day. This congestion, when combined with Everest's extreme altitude, makes it an undeniably dangerous objective. Whether you plan to summit or not, trekking to Everest's base camp is one of the 5 Best Treks in Nepal.
10. Denali
Mt. McKinley, also known as Denali, is the highest mountain in North America. Though its altitude is only 20,320 feet, its high latitude means that the atmosphere is far thinner than it would be at the equator. For the many people who climb Denali each year, the altitude, weather, and extreme temperature pose a serious danger.
For these reasons, the success rate on Denali is around 50% and more than 100 climbers have died attempting the summit.
11. Fitz Roy
Cerro Chalten, or Mount Fitz Roy, is the tallest mountain in Patagonia's Los Glaciares National Park. Fitz Roy's summit is guarded on all sides by steep rock faces requiring difficult, technical climbing to ascend. Because of this, it was considered one of the most difficult mountains in the world for decades.
Even today, the region's unpredictable weather and relative isolation makes it extremely dangerous. As a result, Fitz Roy may see only a single ascent in a year: truly the mark of a dangerous, difficult mountain.
If you're even thinking about getting into mountaineering, avalanche safety training is fundamental. Check out Hal Amen's piece How to Survive an Avalanche.

Strange little list. Silly and weird criteria.
Missed Mount Blanc, which, probably averages around 50 fatalities a year, every year, year after year.
Some comments:
Worst ratio of fatalities to success? Scary. Maybe the worst.
The Eiger
Lot of hype but as a mountain, climbed fairly often with no fatalities. Sure, the North Face is scary and has a reputation, but, that Ueli guys does laps on it in under 3 hours...
The Matterhorn
Commonly guided, commonly climbed. My bet is the fatality rate on it is much much lower than a number of peaks in the alps.
That said, I did pass a body bag on it...
Mt. Vinson
How can a peak be dangerous if it doesn't kill anyone? Commonly guided and climbed as part of the seven summits, you just don't hear of folks gettin' killed on it.
Baintha Brakk Commonly known as The Ogre
Yeah, Doug had an epic on it. But, really, how many folks die on it a year? Any year? Ever?
Years go by without any fatalities. And, a ton of folks attempt it a year. Very low ratio.
Fitz Roy
Yeah, hard, serious, but, really, how many fatalities? None?
A mountain that kills folks every year, but, is somewhat off the radar is Aconcagua. Season we climbed it, I think 14 or 16 fatalities. And, it seems to kill folks every year.
Strange little list. Silly and weird criteria.

Hey, didn't you disagree with me when I posted that stat?

Kawa Korpo has had at least 19 deaths and no successful ascents. That would make the fatality to success rate infinity.
It's neighbor is also still unclimbed and considered to be a dangerous objective as well though I don't know of any deaths:
A mountain that kills folks every year, but, is somewhat off the radar is Aconcagua.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

The way cannabis is sometimes portrayed in popular culture might be causing some confusion.
After recently attending a university welcome back function and talking to a lot of students, our NCPIC team was left wondering where a lot of young people are getting their marijuana information and education from. With heaps of questions about whether cannabis is legal, misconceptions about side-effects and misunderstandings about long-term consequences, we realised the way cannabis is portrayed in popular culture might be the cause of confusion. And once we thought about marijuana movies and cheesy tabloids catching celebs in the act, the source of the misinformation became clear.
Mylie Cyrus and her wrecking ball have skyrocketed to fame over recent years with the likes of teen heart-throbs, One Direction, and currently plummeting, wannabe badboy Justin Beiber. What do all of these celebs have in common other than the front pages of English tabloids? They have all been caught at various points with a joint in their mouth, some of them advocating use of the drug by smoking openly during their concerts with little or no consequence. Interestingly, when it comes to the likes of Justin Bieber smoking weed, it seemed his antics tossing eggs at houses prompted more of a reaction than his illegal drug use caught on camera!
In the absence of accurate and powerful information that turns heads and captures attention to the same degree as celeb gossip, some young people see celebrities smoking weed and may shape their opinion based on these examples. This can lead to the idea that cannabis is a soft, 'fun' drug and as celebs often just receive a playful 'tsk tsk' from media when caught that it either isn't illegal or that the laws around possession aren't to be taken seriously. Even with accurate education, actions can speak louder than words, and these 'badboy PR moves can impress the wrong messages upon young people who are confused or unclear about the real consequences of using cannabis from a legal and health perspective.
The really unfortunate fact for those young people who do take their cues from their tune-touting and big screen idols, is that their misconceptions can be corrected quite quickly. The mellows they might see celebs experiencing may be the opposite to the anxiety, paranoia, and greening out that they may experience instead. Everyone experiences cannabis differently, and the effects can differ for a single person from one instance of use to the next so while one person's experience may be relaxing, another person's may be frightening and traumatic. Similarly, one person may be able to control their use while another may struggle with marijuana addiction. The irony in this case, is that some of these stoner stars do experience problems with weed, but this never gets much publicity until their careers run out of steam and they get snapped heading into rehab.
Away from the personal lives of celebs and focusing more on what they produce, it is also not unusual to see pot use and even dealing or teen drug use trivialised in various top-billing movies, featuring famous stars. Critically acclaimed films from The Beach, through to cult films like Pineapple Express and recent comedies like The Millers , make light of use and even marijuana addiction, while franchises such as 'Harold and Kumar' have made their name from the adventures of two stoned uni students.
In films, cannabis is often promoted as 'fun', with humorous side-effects and few serious negative consequences driving, physical and mental health risks are forgotten, and marijuana addiction is reduced to a series of laughable scenes. While there are of course exceptions, these kinds of messages again shape what young people know and understand about the drug.
While ever there are paparazzi and scriptwriters looking to make a laugh and a buck, there will be media and movies about cannabis that present it as a cool and 'soft drug. What's important is that young people have multiple avenues to access information and education about drugs such as cannabis, so they can build an accurate image of how the drug works, what the side effects are and the legal consequences of use.
According to our recent survey, parents see themselves as one of the main sources of drug education and the main disciplinarian for teen drug use. With this in mind, it's important parents arm themselves with the best and most accurate information so they can counteract the more trivialised education their teens may be gaining from various sources, including marijuana movies and media.
Being open and honest, and using instances where their favourite celebrities are caught in the act or cannabis is promoted on screen, can be a good way to ensure open dialogue while in the home. While these movies and stories may not send the right messages, they can be valuable conversation starters and a way of correcting any of the inaccuracies of teenagers portrayed on screen or in celebrity focussed media.

SEO Help
I have been working on getting my name out there more. My goal is to continue getting in more stores and increase internet sales. As for the internet, I need people to find my site first. Without going directly to my site or putting my name in the google search bar, it is difficult to find a site.
The best way to do that is SEO. What could be better than Search Engine Optimization which to the familiar, SEO!?! I had no idea how to do SEO, at first, and could always use more pointers. However, to start I got the book "SEO for Dummies." Afterward, I spoke to different people in the field who have websites and asked for suggestions which have been helpful. I have not paid to do any of it (except for the purchase of the book) and am trying to move up on the google lists. Hopefully, the efforts have helped.

Schwenk, Still from a Naval Novella (10 minutes loop)
This is the European Premier of Naval Novella- a film that demystifies the Navy breaking down some of the barriers that exist between Defence personnel and civilians. The film shows the human side of the Navy uniquely allowing people to access a closed culture in an inviting way.
The work is anchored by the naval tradition of tattoos and gruelling physical training done with 'the rope', a symbol of union, mateship and stability.

Josephine Ulrick & Win Schubert Photography Award
Group Show

Schwenk, X Performance Sydney
The Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award is considered one of the most important annual surveys of contemporary Australian photographic practice. The exhibiting artists were selected by Natasha Bullock, the curator of Contemporary Art at the Art Gallery of NSW.
This is the 3rd time I have been selected for the Award.
I am exhibiting X Performance Sydney. This photograph is from a body of work known as X Performances - ephemeral large and individual Xs that are made of human bodies in the middle of road intersections and important shared public spaces.
X Performance Sydney has been photographed from the rooftop of a 50 storey building, in a way that gives the work a feeling of aerial surveillance – a small reminder of the level of surveillance our society is subjected to, and a prompt for us to think about what the loss of privacy that accompanies this heightened scrutiny may mean. X Performance Sydney is also a reclamation of the streets and the freedom of expression. The symbol X means so many different things to different people. In various contexts X is an indicator of where the treasure lies; the spot where a bomb should be dropped; a place for a signature or in this instance the coming together of people – a union in the middle of one of Sydney's busiest intersections.
21 March until 13 April 2014

I will be exhibitin an interactive installation with a three channel DVD work from birds and clouds from one life to another, which was created with the German artist Nikola Dicke. birds and clouds from one life to another is a work of participatory performance art that references Bertholt Brecht's poem The Lovers that centres on the lives of a flock of cranes. During the event three model plane clubs from Germany and Holland flew as a large group, echoing the flights and movements of birds. The artists also led the audience and some of the pilots in origami workshops, folding small paper cranes and creating large crane sculptures, which were later 'flown' over the green fields. The Model plane performance, the Origami workshop and the Flight of the cranes were choreographed and performed to music written for the project.

Schwenk, Still from A shared space (5 minute loop)
My film A shared space was screened at Contemporary Art Ruhr (CAR 2013) an innovative contemporary art fair, at the invitation of the Directors Lounge Berlin Festival.
A shared space, based on real life, gives a rare insight into what happens before and after a funeral service. This film opens on a graveyard on a beautiful serene sunny day. Grave diggers are working in a quiet, harmonious way with almost choreographed movements, preparing a grave for a burial. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining - but all is not as it seems - there is a twist.
A shared space premiered at the 9th Berlin International Directors Lounge Festival.

Hey, I'm Stephanie
After being laughed at by a photographer when I asked him to make me look a little thinner and not have a huge double chin in our family photo, (I had just had our 2nd child and felt uncomfortable with my body) I decided I was going to become a photographer with the mission to make ALL women look and feel beautiful in their photos!
I bought a $500 camera, one photography course and was ready to start my photography business with a promise that EVERY woman who stepped in front of my lens would feel beautiful no matter her size. This has been a passion of mine ever since and I LOVE what I do and the women I get to serve!
After being in business for a few years and becoming one of the highest paid photographer in Utah, business owners began reaching out to me and asking me how they can grow their business.
I noticed how most of these business owners had many of the same questions, concerns and needs. That's when I decided to launch my podcast, The Dream Makers Podcast, where I teach and interview women about business and life.
However, I still get business owners reaching out to me for more help and guidance which is why February 2020 I'm launching my Dream Makers Tribe membership site!!! A membership site for female entrepreneurs who are looking for education, coaching & community!
Get on the wait list HERE to be the first to know when doors open!
Now I currently serve over 2,000 women with my photography and podcast, and I have had the honor of speaking at Utah Leading Ladies and Women's Council of Realtors of Utah County and other platforms.
When I'm not busy creating content, you can catch me playing with my kids, watching NCIS with my hot hubby or traveling with my family.

Before I rebranded, I was a bit lost. I was trying to serve everyone as a virtual assistant. I didn't have clear brand colors, content, or goals. After working with Stephanie, I narrowed down to a niche. Because of Stephanie's awesome expertise, I eventually changed my business name and know exactly who my target audience is. I refer people to Stephanie and her genius all of the time. Thanks, girl, for all of your help!

To say the oil market is sensitive to news coming out of the Middle East is an understatement.
In November I wrote, "If I Were A Bad (Oil) Guy"… essentially wondering if countries in the Middle East might be jerking oil markets around on purpose to earn a little side money.
Guess we'll find out this week… there's another very big meeting on Thursday… and while everything seems quite hunky-dory right now… it will be interesting to see if anyone tries to upset the oil cart this week.
Stay tuned.
P.S. It's quite possible that something like this already happened… UWT (which tracks crude oil 3x) was trading just under 23 about a month ago… about two weeks ago it his just above 13.50… that's a pretty sizable drop in such a short period of time.

The Karnataka government wants to retain 3500 medical seats for local students who will appear in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) to be held on May 7, 2017.
The state government wants to sign an agreement for 3500 seats with the private medical colleges for which they are demanding 15% hike in fee.
Earlier in 2016, the Supreme Court made the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) mandatory for admission to medical and dental colleges while the state common entrance tests will be conducted only for engineering admissions
Last year, the fee for government quota medical seats was raised from Rs.55000 to Rs.70000
The fee for the seats filled through NEET was raised from Rs.4.25 lakh to Rs.5.75 lakh
The government of Karnataka wants to sign a consensual agreement with private colleges under the Karnataka Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation o f Admission and Determination of Fee) Act, 2006.
Under this agreement, the non-minority colleges will offer 40% of their seats for local students. The minority colleges of Karnataka provide 25% of seats to the local students.
The state government decides and subsidizes the annual fee for these seats.
The private colleges in the state are asking for 15 percent higher fee. Karnataka has 8075 MBBS seats in 55 medical colleges out of which 18 are government colleges with 2400 seats.
The state government wants to conduct the counseling through Karnataka Examinations Authority whereas the private medical colleges want to conduct their own.
The Karnataka unaided engineering colleges give 45% of their seats to be allotted through state Common Entrance Test. The fee for engineering seats lies between Rs.49, 500 to Rs.55, 000.
A Fee Regulatory Committee has asked the medical colleges to submit their proposed fee structure.

AUG. 30, 2011 – Rising high school seniors participated in internships at local nonprofit organizations across the state this summer, gaining workplace skills, improving their ability to lead and making lifelong connections.
The Summer Youth Community Economic Development Leadership Program, operated by the Initiative, is an eight-week internship program designed to inspire and shape the next generation of leaders in the field of community economic development.
"We hope some of the interns will become future leaders within the nonprofit sector and, more specifically, in community economic development," said Initiative CEO Abdul Rasheed. "But more than that, we want them all to come out of the program with the knowledge and skills to be great leaders, no matter where their path takes them."
The program brings all of the interns together for four Leadership Academy sessions to develop and practice their leadership skills, learn about financial literacy and share their experiences from the field.
"They learn that being a leader is about more than being in charge – it's about taking people with you when you step up to the plate," said Kimberly Askew, internship coordinator. "We're showing them that they can make a positive impact on the world and giving them the skills they need in order to do it."

BIRCH RUN, Mich. — It's not too often you hear of happy endings in the news, but that's exactly what happened for a local newlywed couple.
They were staying in a hotel room after their wedding and they left something very important behind.
"I would be scared, afraid someone would take it," Tequita Mays said.
When you stay in a hotel room sometimes you forget something and often you'll never see that item again.
One newly-wed couple left behind something very important.
"It was sitting on the bed," Mays said.
Mays is a housekeeper at the Best Western in Birch Run.
When she heard a guest lost a small bag she knew what she had to do.
"I just picked it up and brought it here, didn't look in it or nothing," Mays said.
Mays thought maybe the bridal-looking bag contained small things a bride would need for her big day, but it turned out to be much more than that.
She soon found out it wasn't just a make-up bag, but actually $8,600 the bride had left behind.
"I was surprised. I thought it was just a make-up bag from the bride. She was very happy. She gave me a great big hug and happy to have her bag back," Mays said.
Samara Shuman is the housekeeping supervisor.
"I'm very proud of her," Shuman said.
She said she knows the temptation you have to keep things you find.
"Very relieved. Very happy. Proud of us. I'd be proud if someone returned my items because I know how tempting it is sometimes," Shuman said.
The bag contained money from the couple's recent wedding, something they surely did not want to lose.
"I would be very worried and freaking out that I left my money behind. Because even $500 is a big deal and they left a large amount. I mean, that was their wedding too, they could do anything with it," Shuman said.
Mays said she wasn't trying to be a hero, she was just doing what she knew was right.
"I would want my lost belongings back. I would want to return someone else's," Mays said.
The housekeepers said doing the right thing pays off. They said the newlyweds even left them a big tip.

A soil scientist at The Ohio State University, earned the 2019 Japan Prize, considered one of the most prestigious honors in science and technology.
Rattan Lal is the first Ohio State scientist and the first soil scientist to ever receive the prize. He is Distinguished University Professor of Soil Science at the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES).
The Japan Prize recognizes scientists and engineers from around the world for original and outstanding achievements that "not only contribute to the advancement of science and technology, but also promote peace and prosperity for all mankind," a spokesperson for the Japan Prize Foundation said.
"Lal globally documented and promoted the concept of soil organic carbon management and sequestration as critical to achieving food and nutritional security, and adaptation and mitigation of climate change," the announcement from the foundation said. "The soil management approach proposed by Prof. Lal of sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide using crops has numerous co-benefits, such as improved water quality and renewability, increased soil biodiversity, reduced risks of soil degradation and land desertification, and increased use-efficiency of agricultural inputs".
The Japan Prize winners are picked from a highly competitive field of 15,000 applications that are submitted by February of each year and then considered by the foundation from March to November.
Global food security is a growing issue because Earth's population is expected to increase to near 10 billion people by 2050. Climate change is a concern because of its harmful effects, which include warming temperatures, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and weather extremes, experts say.
The selection process for the Japan Prize is highly competitive, with about 15,000 nominees vying for two awards every year, the foundation said. Polymer scientist Yoshio Okamoto of Japan's Nagoya University also received the award this year.
Lal is a faculty member in CFAES' School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR), where he conducts research on topics such as soil processes, soil degradation, and sustainable management of soil and water. He works both in Ohio and internationally. Soil degradation, a worldwide problem, includes a wide range of issues such as wind and water erosion, declines in soil fertility, organic matter loss, and contamination by chemicals.
Lal also is the founder and director of SENR's Carbon Management and Sequestration Center and is the past president of the 60,000-member International Union of Soil Sciences. He was born in Punjab, India (now part of Pakistan), and first came to Ohio State in 1968 to work on his PhD in soils.
"The Ohio State University is proud that Professor Rattan Lal has been awarded the Japan Prize. As one of the world's preeminent soil scientists, Professor Lal's research and insights will continue to have a profound and enduring impact on global food security in the decades to come," said Bruce A. McPheron, Ohio State's executive vice president and provost.
"Those of us at the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences are enormously proud of our colleague, Dr. Rattan Lal, and his incredible achievements. He is a distinguished scientist, with a prolific research portfolio, but he considers his primary contributions to be the many graduate students who have worked in his lab," said Cathann A. Kress, Ohio State's vice president for agricultural administration and dean of CFAES.
"His story is one of perseverance, dedication, and humility—culminating in the recognition of Dr. Lal as one of the most influential scientists in the world," Kress said.
In announcing the award, the Japan Prize Foundation cited Lal's pioneering research on no-tillage agriculture—a way to grow crops from year to year without disturbing the soil by tilling—and on methods to sequester, or lock up, carbon dioxide in the soil, such as by planting cover crops and spreading compost. Sequestering carbon dioxide removes it from the atmosphere, a plus in the fight against climate change. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which has continued to hit record high levels, is a primary cause of climate change.
Taken together, the issues of sustainable soil management, global food security, and mitigating climate change "truly sum up my career," Lal said. "I have a strong commitment to these ideas, and I am so glad that they are mentioned in the award."
He added that the honor "emphasizes the importance of the farming profession and is a tribute to farmers for their role as stewards of our natural resources and environment."
Lal and Okamoto will be honored in a ceremony on April 8 in Tokyo, whose thousand-plus attendees will include Japan's Emperor Akihito, Empress Michiko, and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Lal and Okamoto will give lectures and participate in academic discussions during the ceremony week.
The prize carries with it a cash award of $450,000, which Lal plans to donate to an endowment supporting staffing at the Carbon Management and Sequestration Center.
Lal also recently received the Glinka World Soil Prize from the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Agriculture Prize from the Global Confederation of Higher Education Associations for Agricultural and Life Sciences. He plans to donate the prizes' cash awards to the carbon center as well.
Sacred Seedlings is a global initiative to support forest conservation, reforestation, urban forestry, carbon capture, sustainable agriculture and wildlife conservation. Sustainable land management and land use are critical to the survival of entire ecosystems.

EliPuli was started with the dream of creating Tamil language (as well as bilingual) resources that are beautiful to the eye and stimulating to the mind. As such, it was our goal from the start to seek out and collaborate with passionate children's illustrators and designers who would be able to create visual treats for our youngest readers (and their caregivers).
We are both grateful and proud to be working with the below artists and hope to collaborate with many new professional children's illustrators in time to come. We would also like to give thanks to our enablers who use their personal time to read, vet and provide thoughtful feedback on our content so that what we create is truly useful and delightful for our readers.
A big thank you also to our parents who have volunteered their time to provide valuable feedback about how our works-in-progress can be improved and be made more relatable to their little ones. Your love, support and encouragement means everything to us!

This year LYCRA® brand was particularly proud to be involved in this fantastic event as it celebrates its 60th anniversary, and more than 60 years of game-changing innovation that has helped to shape and support some of the best designs in lingerie, underwear and swimwear.
Many of the almost 150 brands on display at the event featured LYCRA® fiber and fabrics technologies and visitors were also able to take a closer look at some of these at the very entrance of the event, where a dedicated display showcased: LYCRA® fiber, LYCRA® SPORT, LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber and LYCRA® BEAUTY fiber.
In the lingerie and underwear section of the show, visitors could see a plethora of new brands, but also established names such as Freya Active and trusted Triumph, both cleverly incorporating LYCRA® technology into some of their ranges to further boost consumer trust in their products. It was fantastic to see new lines from some of the biggest global players in the everyday underwear section at the show. Acclaimed brands, Jockey and Sloggi, incorporate LYCRA® fiber technology in many of their ranges to help influence the purchasing decision in this challenging category.
As for the swimwear ranges, many designs were focussed on combining style and functionality. Most consumers would expect their swimwear to last at least one full season*. LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ responds to this consumer expectation as it promises to last 10 times longer than similar competitor products. It was great to see a host of brands at the event that incorporate this technology into some of their ranges, including popular brands, Freya and Fantasie, innovative Curvy Kate and stylish poolside favourite, David Swimwear. The show floor was also be filled with iconic brands showing their latest collections including Gottex, Elomi, Maryan Beachwear, Seaspray, Banana Moon and many more, all opting for the benefits of fabrics with quality ingredients.
LYCRA® brand supported the INDX Intimate Apparel SS19 event in several ways this year, including sponsorship of the event's all-important coffee plaza (in the centre of the hall) as well as the INDX networking reception on the first evening on Sunday 5 August. The coffee plaza was the ideal spot for visitors to take a break, catch up with colleagues and keep an eye on emails. The highly recognisable LYCRA® branding helped the coffee plaza to stand out and made it an easy place to meet potential new business prospects.
The networking event proved to be exceptionally popular this year and was testimony to just how important the INDX show is to the industry. Buzzing with buyers, retailers, industry experts and representatives from the exhibitor brand, visitors and exhibitors could mingle, and exchange views on the latest industry trends, ideas and news. It made for a fantastic end to the first day of the show and a great start for what turned out to be a very popular and very inspiring INDX Intimate Apparel event.

How to make a Funbox & single Ledge
This ledge is intended as an add-on to the funbox. Of course you can make this ledge as a stand alone item if you wish.
As with all structures here on DIYskate, you can build this ledge any size you want. However, for the material list to be accurate, you will need to follow the plans as listed below.
Where to get your Supplies
The wood and hardware can be found at most home improvement stores. Sometimes you can find the steel there as well, I know my local Home Depot carries the coping and threshold material.
If not, check the phone book. Look up Steel, Steel Yards, Steel Fabricators, Scrap Steel & anything else with Steel in the title.
If this ramp is going to stay outside, it needs to be protected from the elements. A good place to start is with pressure treated lumber, paint and a tarp. You may want to invest in a composite material for the surface too. Such as Skate Lite or Ramp Armor.
Be extra careful when working with treated lumber though, the chemicals used to treat the wood contain a poisonous pesticide.
Gathering your Materials
Begin with the 2×4's. Cut ten pieces at 9" in length. Cut six more pieces at 1'-0, these will determine the height of the ledge. Last, take four more 2×4's and cut them down to 6'-0 in length, which will determine the length of the ledge. Below is a cut list referencing what else you will need and it's size.
|Material Cut List
Frame the Bottom
Place three 9" long 2×4's between two 6'-0 long 2×4's as shown above. The one in the middle is centered. Pre-drill the screw locations near the ends with a 1/16" drill bit to keep them from splitting.
Framing the Top
Now frame the top of the ledge as shown above. Using two of the 6'-0 long 2×4's for the sides and seven of the 9" long pieces placed every 12" on center as shown. Set this aside for now.
Placing the Sides
Take the botom that you made earlier and attach the six 1'-0 long pieces to the bottom of the box as shown above. Put four screws in each piece, two through each side.
Attaching the Top
Place the top on the newly attached sides. This is much easier if you flip it upside down or lay the assembly on it's side. Put four screws in each, just like the bottom.
Make sure the ledge is square. This is not as important in this case since this ledge will be attached to the funbox, but you should still get in the habit of doing this.
Attaching the plywood
Cut a sheet of 3/4" plywood into two pieces. One at 6'-0 by 1'-0 and another at 6'-0 by 1'-0 3/4". Attach the 6'-0 by 1'-0 piece to the top of the ledge with 1 5/8" screws. Make sure you screw into the supports.
Next, take the 6'-0 by 1'-0 3/4" sheet of 3/4" ply and attach it to the front of the ledge in the same way.
Attaching the coping
Place the angle iron on the edge of box like shown. Drill a 3/16" hole on each end on both sides where shown. The top and bottom dimensions are offset so the screws won't hit each other. On a box this length you need to place a couple more screws in the middle.
Once drilled, countersink each by using the 3/8" drill bit to drill down just enough so the screw heads are flush with the coping. This will keep your trucks and board from hitting them when you grind or slide.
Placing the Ledge
Position the ledge flush with the back of the funbox. Screw from the bottom of the funbox up into the 2×4 supports of the ledge. If you can, toenail a few screws from the ledge into the top of the funbox as well.
These funboxes are truly a blast to skate and fairly easy to build, but I do have one suggestion. If you can afford it and have the room, make the funbox at least six feet wide if not eight. With the funbox being only 4' wide, you may find it hard to set up for the ledge. Especially with tricks that require you to approach it at an angle.
Other than making it wider, that is all there is to it. You now have a funbox that is fun to skate and should last you a long time. Invite all your friends over and knock out every trick you can think of.

Several years ago there was no "Rock N Roll Baby!", back in the day Blues was the rule and it eventually gave origin to the rock and roll genre. And there are certain songs that had the most influence and helped to shape it!
That's why in this new article we are going to share with you the 10 blues songs that shaped Rock 'N' Roll. Let's check them! And of course, we will provide an explanation about each option from this listing.
#1 – Born Under a Bad Sign by Albert King:
Simply listening to this song makes it very clear on why it helped to shape rock n roll. The horn section and the incredible riff are the most remarkable aspects of this song, which is part of the album with the same name.
Albert King was an incredible guitarist, and this song is a real proof of his talent. And he definitively wasn't born under a bad sign, because his contributions to Blues are amongst the most important.
Not in vain he is considered as part of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" along with Freddie King and B. B. King. And yes, he is also part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Just listen to this song and you'll understand why he was one of the greatest blues and rock guitarists ;).
#2 – Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson:
A conflicting and mysterious history. It is said that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in order to become the most talented and skilled guitarist in his time… and there's no doubt that he was indeed a magnificent musician.
It gets even more intriguing when you discover that there are only two photos of him and that he is part of the 27 Club along with great music icons like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones and many others…
Sweet Home Chicago is mentioned here because every single rock and blues guitarist learns it in the beginning. The 12-bar rhythm is the corner-stone of this song, and pretty everyone on this planet loves it!
This iconic song is played all around the world in jazz and blues bars, Apoteka loves that 🙂
#3 – I'm a Man by Bo Diddley:
When you listen to this song you can quickly identify a pattern: the magnetic call-and-response riff. It is repeated all over this song, but it never gets boring. And this is something that has been exploited by many rock n roll musicians and they still do.
Here are some great examples of songs using this call-and-response pattern:
- My Generation – The Who
- My Sweet Lord – George Harrison
- Red House – Jimmy Hendrix
- You Shook Me – Led Zeppelin
- Minnie the Moocher – Cab Calloway
Great songs by amazing bands using the very same pattern found in "I'm a Man" by Bo Diddley. Now it should be clear why his song helped to shape Rock n Roll as we know it nowadays.
#4 – Key to the Highway by Big Bill Broonzy:
Eric Clapton. It is important to mention his name right off the bat because this song had just a massive influence on him that he recorded his own version in the 70s.
What characterizes this song is the use of an 8-bar structure instead of a 12-bar, something that appealed to the rock n roll crowd.
All in all a great hit that helped to form modern rock and roll due to the use of an 8-bar structure.
#5 – Dust My Broom by Elmore James:
This song is pure enjoyment from beginning till end. Elmore James was one of the first to play electric guitar, and with Dust My Broom, he made a pretty big impact. The overdriven slide riff is what makes this song great in a big extent, and yes, it has served as inspiration to several rock n roll bands and musicians.
#6 – Brown Eyed Handsome Man by Chuck Berry:
Chuck Berry's contributions to the world of music are amongst the greatest, and Brown Eyed Handsome Man is one of those songs. In fact, if it wasn't for him none of the following songs would exist:
- I Saw Her Standing There – The Beatles
- Come Together – The Beatles
- Hot Legs – Rod Stewart
- Memphis – Johnny Rivers
- Subterranean Homesick Blues – Bob Dylan
Just listen to the song and you will understand why it had such a big impact in Rock N Roll!
#7 – Call It Stormy Monday Blues by T-Bone Walker:
The guitar play by T-Bone Walker in this song is excellent. This exact style and structured have been followed (and still are) by practically any slow tempo blues ever created.
This song has been covered by great rock bands like The Allman Brothers Band and Jethro Tull.
And well, it is also important to mention that T-Bone Walker was amongst the first to do crazy things with the guitar, and you just need to look at how he played it behind his head to understand why.
#8 – Catfish Blues by Robert Petway:
This magnificent song served as inspiration to the great Muddy Waters, who years later recorded his own version titled "Rollin' Stone". Both Petway's and Waters's version are excellent and served to mold Rock N Roll.
#9 – Baby Please Don't Go by Muddy Waters and The Rolling Stones:
Before we move any further, you should know that the band and the magazine both their name due to Muddy Waters's song Rollin' Stone. This feat is a clear example of how much blues helped to shape rock n roll. Just listen to it and appreciate this majestic piece of art.
#10 – You Can't Catch Me by Chuck Berry:
A great song with a bold message: If you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze. Nobody knows if he was talking about women or fast cars, but the song's melody and rhythm resemble of rock n roll music.
This song, even after more than 6 decades, remains as an important source of inspiration for rock and roll bands just like some decades ago.
Here you have it: these are the 10 blues songs that shaped rock n roll as we know it nowadays. The influence was massive, and we are glad that it went that way. So, from now on, be more appreciate of Blues because without we would not have many great bands and songs…

Building A Custom Home: Construction
Building Your Home: Homeowner Involvement
Building your custom home is one of the most exciting and challenging aspects of the home building project. It is one of the final stages and it is the period of time that you really get to see your dream become a reality.
The construction of the home is the most expensive part of the project and because it is there are a number of ways that you can save money. We start by understanding how much involvement you want to have on the construction end of your project.
This can be broken down into 3 levels of involvement and one simple rule:
Rule: The greater your involvement the greater your savings.
3 Levels Of Home Building Project Involvement
1) Hiring A General Contractor
This is what most customers do and it involves connecting with a trustworthy general contractor who will organize and assemble the trades as needed. The general contractor will charge a fee on top of the individual trade labour cost for managing the project. This is a great option if you want to take a hands off approach to building your custom home.
2) Acting As Project Manager
A more involved approach to your home building project is acting as the Project Manager for certain sections of the build. A good example of this is the interior finishing. Interior finishing is based off of your decisions and you can save money by hiring trades directly and selecting material on your own. You can act as a project manager for part of your home building project, or the entirety of your project.
3) Being An Owner Builder
As an owner builder you start by pulling the building permits for your home. This means that you are responsible for the entire project. An owner builder would typically hire all of the sub trades required and ensure that they are doing everything as expected. In some cases they would also be doing a lot of the labour themselves such as insulation & drywall.
Linwood has created an Owner Builder Manual which is a step by step guide on how to build to budget, and stay in control of your project. This 140 page document outlines each step of the construction process with details about what to expect.
Selecting The Right Contractor: The Linwood Network
Some customers come to us knowing who they want to build their home – they are family friends, business partners or are acquaintances; they key here is that they trust who they are working with. However, most people don't have a trusted relationship with someone to build their dream home.
Having been in business for over 50 years we have learned what to look for in a builder and we have a network of over 400 builders all across North America. Most, if not all, of these we have worked with in the past and we will be able to connect you with the right builder wherever you are building.
Linwood Construction
In certain areas, like Ontario, Linwood has a full construction division to service your entire project. We are able to offer a fixed price in the sections of construction where it is possible to do so, and run the project of your behalf.
We use state of the art software to keep you up to date on your project and show you photos along the way. We are committed to consistently improving our solution in every market, through our learning and growth along the way.

Happy Friday lovelies! Today I'm finishing up my Denim Guide and it's all about my favorite denim pieces for fall! With fall just around the corner, I wanted to share with you this season's denim must-haves. Forget what you know about your classic denim jacket because things are spicing up this year with embroidery, lace details and longer styles. Up the ante and add one or more of these items to your closet this fall – you know I won't judge. Happy shopping ! xo
Long Line Denim Jacket
I have been obsessed with long line jackets lately! They're more interesting than your regular cropped jacket and you can also wear it as a dress when buttoned up.
Embroidered Denim Jacket
Embroidery is one of my favorite trends this season! Adding an embroidered denim jacket into your closest will add diversity to your outerwear game, plus it's a great conversation starter.
Lace Up Denim Jacket
Looking for a not so traditional denim jacket? This is the one for you! Lace up anything is so in right now but more "cool girl" than an embroidered jacket.
Denim Kimono
My two latest obsessions – kimonos + denim! Kimonos are the perfect fall item but can sometimes be too thin. That's why a denim kimono is great! Denim is a heavier fabric than others, and will keep you warm, even on those chilly fall days.
Denim Vest
Like a denim jacket, you can never really go wrong with a denim vest! I like adding a denim vest to an outfit to make it look edgier and less thought out. Pair one of these with your favorite graphic tee and you're good to go!
Embroidered Denim Vest
I told you embroidery is everywhere! A fun embroidered vest is what you need this fall – it's perfect for date night or GNO.
Long Line Denim Vest
I personally love a long line denim vest for the office – it's basically an updated trench vest, and pairs well with trousers or another shade of jeans.
Cropped Denim
Earlier this week I talked about my love for cropped jeans. They can be dressed down with sneakers, and the perfect length to show off some fun heels!
Patchwork Denim
My patchwork jeans are my favorite way to spice up my denim collection. Regular jeans can become a snore, so these are a sure way to stand out in a crowd.
Flare Denim
YES, flare jeans are amazing! Channel your inner disco queen and pick up a pair of flares. I love pairing my flares with high heels – it elongates my legs and is a nice change from my regular skinnies.
Embroidered Denim
Embroidery is one way to up your jean game. Classic blue jeans are a staple, but try something more unique this season like embroidery details on your jeans! Whether you're into flowers, sassy sayings, or abstract patterns, there is an embroidered jean for you!
Denim Corset
I'm sure you have already seen the corset takeover! Instead of a plain black corset opt for a denim one. This is a great way to start experimenting with the denim on denim trend!
Denim Bandana
Upgrade your bandana game this fall and add denim to the mix!

Dickens is too long dead to resent my stealing his line, but if I took all the time in the world, I don't think I could come up with one more apt for the last couple of months. As you may have noticed we have been to busy to keep the blog up, but that has now changed. You will have a great deal to read as I catch up on the our goings on.
We have had the best of times with a group of young ladies from Mexico City you may remember then from this post.
A road trip to Texas, house sitting in San Miguel, and just working and playing in the garden. Many of these things you will be updated on shortly on this blog.
We have also just has the worst of times. You may remember our adventure with a hummingbird stuck in our skylight some time back. Here is that post.
Sadly, this time it did not go so well. The skylight is a bit over 20 feet off the ground. While at the top of the ladder, suddenly her world turns upside down, and she falls to the floor.
She hit the floor hard, really hard. I hear her scream and I come running. I find her on her back, blood gushing from her head, and her femur sticking OUT of her leg.
A quick shout out to my neighbour to call and ambulance, then I am at Shannon's side, holding the leg stable and doing what little I can to reassure her.
The additional gruesome details I will omit, but let me give you a summary.
The head injury looked much worst that it was. The neurosurgeon on hand at hospital stitched her up after making sure there was no damage to the skull. A quick CAT scan confirmed no other head problems, although we will have to be a little wary for the next little while, and keep her on anti coagulants.
Oh, and the scar she will have on her forehead, is the shape of the Mercedes Benz emblem. I just hope she doesn't want to get the car now to co-ordinate her look!
The surgery to repair her leg took twice as long as expected, as they has quite the jigsaw puzzle to put together. Below you can see the results.
OUCH!There was a great deal of blood lost, first from the head wound, then from the surgery. Sadly Shannon's blood type is AB-, very rare back home, and even rarer here! This has lead to Shannon being very week and tired, but she has been receiving injections that are helping with this.
Prognosis for the leg: it will be a long haul, and a great deal of hard work to rehabilitate the injury, but we are confident she will be able to walk again. The area of uncertainty is the damage to the knee. The knee cap was broken, but the knee also hyper extended in the fall so it will be some time before we know if there will be full range of movement or not, if there will be a limp or not. That is assuming no other complications.
While this has been a rather nasty accident, we are feeling very lucky. The knee hit first, if it was the head that hit first the outcome would have been death or paralysis.

Friday, April 1, 2016 by BUCKEYE® Nutrition Limiting pasture intake is recommended for obese horses and ponies, especially those at risk for laminitis. This can be difficult to do if horses have access to pasture full-time or when, for example, stabling is not an option. Using grazing muzzles has been recommended but how much of an effect do grazing muzzles really have on reducing pasture intake in horses?
