Are we going to witness an historical housing price correction amid sharpest rise in unemployment and social tension?...and the minimum you should know in order to protect yourself from this downturn from an economic, stock market and political point of view... with a pinch of humor and sarcasm.
Friday, 3 October 2008
ECB to Cut Rate...Pretty Soon.
"European Central Bank President Jean- Claude Trichet indicated the bank is poised to cut interest rates for the first time in more than five years as the credit crunch hurts the economy and damps inflation.
Investors are betting the ECB will lower borrowing costs as soon as next month after Trichet told a press conference in Frankfurt that policy makers discussed a rate reduction today. While leaving the benchmark at a seven-year high of 4.25 percent, Trichet said financial-market turmoil is damping economic growth and inflation risks 'have diminished.' "
It should come as surprise to readers that the global economy is sharply slowing with many economies in recession or about to enter a recession.
In reality, I wouldn't be surprise to see both the US, UK and the ECB cutting rate all at the same time, maybe even as early as next week...in order to shock the market. A bit like a patient that has had an heart attack...the credit market needs an electrical shock to bring it back to life.
The credit market is not functioning at about the end of the economical cycle, making the slump even worse than the mild recession of 2001. The U.S. they are trying to avert a depression without being able to avoid a deep recession.
The impact is global with the emerging market being hit the most.
China will have to fight with their social stability while the US and Europe will be batling with rescuing their financial stability.
Russia is batting its worst financial and economical slump. The country financial system is too young and not mature enough to respond fast and adequately amid massive foreign reserves.
To conclude, in memory this is the worse I have seen since 30 years ago, back in the late 70's...
Would I want to buy in this environment?
Yes, if you don't trust the ECB and the Euro and believe that we are going into an inflationnary spirale.
No, You think that deflation has started and price in all asset class will fall in the next few years to come. So why buying now when you can buy more tommorow?

If the Citroen Picasso had actually been inspired by Pablo the Painter, it would have both its headlights on one side and its radiator grille on the roof. Who decides what cars are called? Is it done by the boys in the advertising section, in a blizzard of cocaine? Let's follow it up with the Citroen Dali, a five-wheeled elephant on long spindly legs disguised as a fish, with internal sprinklers inside so it rains onto the back seat passengers like the Cadillac in his museum in Figueras. Or the Dodge Warhol, which looks like a soup can with Marilyn Monroe driving it and has all its safety features removed so it can feature in spectacular accidents and you can silk-screen the mangled school-run photos mauve. But no, there's no imagination at all. We'll have the Renault Ennui, the Volkswagen Smegma or the Nissan Insipid instead. Or one of those eco-cars like the Toyota Supercilious, whose onboard computer prevents it from starting until you've set the programme to Cute so that its exhaust system shits out a small bowl of peonies and a little fluffy kitten every second month. Park it in your driveway and its air-conditioning system will cause it to produce a mini rain forest overnight, complete with chimps who will pelt next door's Range Rover with rotten mangoes every morning and masturbate onto its windscreen when the neighbours are trying to take Jemima and Tristan to their ballet lessons.
Look at this little ball spinning silently in space. Isn't it pretty? If you were an intergalactic tourist, you'd want to stop here for a picnic, wouldn't you? Look, there's blue bits and green bits and a white bit at the top and bottom, and all these lovely little clouds spinning about. The kids in the back seat of the spacecraft want to play. Let's get a bit closer…
Gosh, mountains! Big patches of forest! Lovely sea! Closer, dad! I want to see it! But hang on, what's all these patches of grey? What's all these scurrying things? Oh, shit, there's six billion of them. What a shame. It looked so nice from a distance, too, shame about the skin-disease. Can we get rid of it? Let's see if there are any organisations down here that could help us get rid of all this shit so we can have a picnic in peace. Ah! Friends of the Earth. That sounds promising.
So really, Friends of the Earth is an international terrorist organisation, isn't it? They want to kill us all. They're Friends of the Earth, not friends of its dose of crabs. And what happens when there's no people left? When the cities are grass again, when the Rio Tinto Zinc Mines have reverted to rain forest and clinging vines grow across the big red and yellow arches of our diners and all the sails on the windfarms are spinning uncontrollably in the nuclear wind, feeding electricity into a void? Of course, there'll be one person left – the head of Friends of the Earth, and it'll probably be a man, a new man of course, the sort who in the days before the great eradication would have done the shopping and accompanied his wife to the ante-natal classes. Imagine the conversation:
"There you go, I've done it. It's just you and me now, and I was wondering if…you know…in the circumstances and everything… we could…maybe be a bit more than just friends. I've always wanted to be a lover of the earth. I mean, I've always respected you as a planet, and you're really pretty – not that I'd like you any less if you weren't, of course, because that's what they taught me at the women's collective before I killed all the women. But I really like what you've done with your hurricanes tonight."
"Oh, that's sweet, I was worried my equator might look big in this."
"So, do want to come in for coffee? Just coffee. I mean, you could stay the night but we wouldn't have to do anything, and I'd still like you in the morning.'
"Well, you'd better, because I've seen the way you've been looking at Saturn, with all those fancy rings and moons. And you'd better not tell anyone, because I don't want to wind up with the sort of reputation Venus has got.'
"Reputation? Well, I don't think that's really important, because women should be free to express themselves in any way, including sexually. Mind you, she's got a thing with Mars now, and they're kind of suited. Right pair of hot little planets. I'm sure they had a threesome with Mercury last week. The way they took advantage of that last eclipse had the whole solar system shaking."
"Except Pluto. He's got a learning disability and he was too far away anyway."
"Pluto's a retard. What did they expect, naming him after a dog. Poor little thing."
"A dog? I thought they named him after that guy Popeye doesn't like."
"Can the chat and come here, big boy. I'm getting all swampy in the Amazonia. Hey! What's that? What the fuck do expect me to do with that? If you want me, you've got to be hung like Florida. Piss off! Go play ring-ding with doughnuts. Go take a flying fuck at the moon."
That's the trouble with Earthly relationships. They're just not to scale. The women always make us feel small. And when they finally build the motorway between Betelgeuse and Alpha Centauri, they'll turn the Earth into a Happy Eater Service Station.

"First Class, Painless Service"
"This has by far and away been the easiest and most hassle free way I've ever bought a car. Alex is a consummate professional and keeps you informed every step of the way. We had just grown as a family and were looking to get rid of our small car as well as upgrade to a larger vehicle. We spoke to Alex (who came under recommendation from several friends and colleagues) he gave us a price for our car there and then over the phone. Then he set about finding us a vehicle that suited our needs and was within our price range. Within a day the list of first options came through and we decided on which make/model we wanted. He tirelessly sent through various options and we settled on a one owner, low-mileage example. Within a week we were in possession of our new car and couldn't have been happier. Alex even paid for the second key to be cut!! Absolutely first-class service from a genuine and honest proprietor, who will bend over backwards to help you. I'll definitely be using him again"

If you are looking to make a 'minor' application, for a small scale development it really does pay to make sure that the application is as complete and throrough as possible before submitting it.
Many Planning Authorities in the North East of England are imposing strict time limits to allow them to meet their Government imposed targets, particularly for applications with an 8-week determination target that are delegated to the Planning Officer for decision – these are applications where a decision can be reached without going before the Council's Planning Committee.
These time limits can mean that applications need to be withdrawn, or worse are refused by the Council, where information is incomplete or when issues arise requiring further attention and resolution would take the application beyond the 8-week target.
This can seem unfair given the huge amount of work which needs to be undertaken and often doesn't even guarantee a successful outcome. Indeed, withdrawing an application to avoid refusal (refusal is nearly always better avoided if possible), preparing the additional information and then re-submitting can mean that an application that should take 8 weeks to approve can take 18-20 weeks!
It really does pay to get advice before you start and to make sure that you are providing the planning authority will all of the information that they might reasonably require to properly consider your application. We offer free consultations and will always let you know what we think of your chances, good or bad.

April 14, 1862 (Monday)
Confederate General Joe Johnston had very little faith that his Army of Northern Virginia could hold the defenses across the Peninsula against the Union Army of the Potomac. After being placed in command of all troops gathered there (the bulk of which had been made up of his old Confederate Army of the Potomac), he examined for himself the works. Finding them not up to his liking, he met with President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and the new Secretary of War, George Wythe Randolph.
Not only were the defenses inadequate, the Rebel artillery was out-gunned. The fortifications around Yorktown and Gloucester, across the York River, were armed with older, smooth-bore guns, while the Union artillery had newer, rifled cannons, which had a much greater range. From beyond the throw of the Confederate artillery, their Union counterparts could pick apart their batteries.
Defending the Peninsula merely delayed the Union approach at the cost of untold lives. Johnston believed that he had a better plan. He wanted to gather together all the forces down the Confederate coast, uniting them before Richmond, drawing out McClellan's Army of the Potomac and surprising them as they were about to lay siege to the city. Once defeated, they would be 100 miles away from their nearest base (Fortress Monroe) and could reasonably be annihilated. This battle, believed Johnston, would decide the war.
While Davis listened, Lee and Randolph were not convinced that Johnston's plan was sound. Lee believed that pulling troops from the coast would lead to the fall of Charleston and Savannah. Randolph, who had been a naval officer before the war, thought that giving up the Navy Yard at Norfolk (on the Peninsula) a particularly bad idea.
Johnston countered that whatever loss that might first occur was merely temporary and would surely be regained once the army was victorious.
The discussion ebbed and flowed, the details coming and going. They had been joined by Generals James Longstreet and G. W. Smith, who sometimes added their own opinions and sometimes said nothing. This went on for nearly seven hours, until they broke for dinner. At 7pm, they met again in Davis' house, where they debated until after midnight.
Slowly, Johnston's plan lost favor with the President, who sided with General Lee. Johnston was to leave at once for Yorktown and defend it against McClellan's Army of the Potomac. Without the extra troops from Georgia and the Carolinas, the Army of Northern Virginia could field only 70,000, or roughly two-thirds of the Union forces on the Peninsula.
Though he obeyed, he had no faith that his army could hold and fully expected to find himself at the gates of Richmond before too long.1
Rebel Artillery Not as Shabby as First Supposed
Johnston was absolutely correct in his assessment of the Union artillery pointed at the Confederate defenses in and around Yorktown. After deciding that he couldn't carry the Rebel positions at Yorktown with infantry, Union General George McClellan called for a siege. This required the digging of trenches and artillery positions. It also required artillery to fill these positions. Most importantly, all of this required time.
It did not take long for McClellan to begin to gather his guns. While the Confederates had mostly smooth-bores, along with the twenty 8″ and 10″ siege mortars, he also had twenty rifled guns. From the five 100 lbs Parrots to the ten 4-1/2 inchers, his artillery could safely fire upon the Rebels with little risk to his own men.2
All of this firepower, however, didn't mean that the Rebels were defenseless. Johnston believed that the Union Navy could take out the batteries at Gloucester and Yorktown and land behind the Confederate lines. But taking out those artillery positions wasn't so simple.
Flag Officer Louis Goldsborough, commander of the Union Navy around Fortress Monroe (and thus the Peninsula), had no real desire to attack Gloucester and Yorktown. He believed that his first priority was to protect the fleet against the ironclad CSS Virginia, which had been lately poking around. This freed up only seven wooden gunships to aid the infantry.
The USS Monitor, which had previously fought the Virginia to a tactical draw, was believed by the Navy to be vulnerable, and they refused to rely upon it to defend against the Rebel monstrosity.
While Goldsborough's seven available gunboats had plenty of firepower, the Rebel's land-based guns were given a three-to-one advantage over ship-based guns. The heavy artillery in the forts, being secure on the ground, were more accurate. They had the decided advantage of knowing the range of the targets before them.
The attacking ships would either have to fire on the move, which greatly reduced their accuracy, or stop to fire, which left them susceptible to the Confederate gunners. Goldsborough also considered that he would be attacking not just one fort, but two, one on either side of a 1,200 yard stretch of water. It was true that the smooth-bore guns were less accurate than rifled guns, but with each fort needing to cover only 600 yards, the accuracy of the thirty-three pieces covering the narrow channel wasn't really an issue.
To make matters even worse for the Union Navy, some of the Rebel fortifications were elevated twenty-five to seventy feet above the York River. The artillery aboard the gunboats couldn't be elevated enough to hit such targets.
McClellan had repeatedly tried to coax the Navy into steaming past Yorktown under the shroud of night so he could land troops behind the Rebel lines, but Goldsborough refused. Seeking a different plan, he turned to the infantry. Scouts on the Union left flank had reported a weakness in the Rebel lines near Lee's Mill.
McClellan, after studying maps, selected the location for the attempted breakthrough and ordered that the reserves from General Keyes' Corps be brought up, though nobody seemed to know where they (the division of Silas Casey) were. Once found, and once Keyes' Corps was ready, McClellan would order the attack.3

new honda sports cars
After Honda decided to actively pursue the project, its management briefed to its engineers that its car would have to be as good as anything coming from Italy and Germany[2], the HP-X concept car evolved into the NS-X (New Sportscar eXperimental) prototype. The NS-X prototype and eventual production car was designed by a team led by Chief Designer Ken Okuyama and Executive Chief Engineer Shigeru Uehara, who subsequently would be placed in charge of the S2000 project. The original performance target for the NS-X was the Ferrari 328, which was revised to the 348 as the design neared completion. Honda intended the NS-X to meet or exceed the performance of the Ferrari, while offering Honda reliability and a lower price point. For this reason, the 2.0L V6 of the HP-X was abandoned and replaced with a more powerful 3.0L VTEC V6 engine. The bodywork design had been specifically researched by Okuyuma and Uehara after studying the 360 degree visibility inside an F-16 fighter jet cockpit.[3] The NS-X was designed to showcase several Honda automotive innovations, many derived from its highly successful motorsports program.

We realise that we're posting quite a lot of Sab's Gull pics, but we can't help it! We believe that this amazing first year is only the third to be ringed in the UK. One of the previous two was also on Bardsey, an adult back in 2004. In the hand we confirmed that the bird was a good weight with decent fat and muscle reserves. A full collection of biometrics were taken as so few people are lucky enough to handle this pelagic species. Lets hope this individual gives us a clue as to the provenance of our Sab's and where in the Southern Oceans they head. (c) Richard Brown
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
The Sabine's Gull from yesterday returned to the Narrows today but took to feeding on the short grass with the Starlings. It proved remarkably approachable and crippling views and photos were had by all. It was feeding constantly, only breaking for the odd bath in a nearby rainwater pool or to take a few shrimpy things from the breakers in Henllwyn. Invertebrates also seemed to be the main target when up on the grass. It's extreme tameness (until yesterday it had probably never clapped eyes on a human), meant that it could be safely caught for ringing. A few wet feet later (and for some wet everything), and we were holding only the third ever Sabine's Gull to be ringed in the UK.

Tuesday, November 29, 2011
The last few days have brought appalling weather to the island. Despite this many latest dates have been broken. The Sabine's Gull on Tuesday was pushed from it's podium of 'latest Sab's Gull' by a rather confiding juvenile which spent the afternoon feeding on the sea only metres from the shore. Two Pomarine Skuas on the 27th November beat the only other previous November record which occurred on the 1st in 1994. With 50mph gusts today and horizontal rain, it never crossed our minds that the highlight would be a diminutive warbler. But the third Pallas's Warbler of the year appeared in the Obs garden and fed happily on insects amongst the sheltered nettles and trees. This also takes gold place as the latest Pallas's Warbler on Bardsey, beating last years record of the 19th of November by ten days.
Sabine's Gulls are a species of the high Arctic with an almost circumpolar distribution. They are a long distance migrant wintering in the Southern Oceans. The gull was first discovered by Joseph Sabine who named it after his famous brother General Sir Edward Sabine. They first encountered the gull on an expedition in search of the infamous North-West Passage. The expedition was led by John Ross, the uncle of James Clark Ross who gives his name to another fantastic Arctic Gull, Ross's Gull. (c) Richard Brown

Tuesday, November 22, 2011
A diverse Lighthouse attraction last night kept us up into the early hours. The highlights were a Short-eared Owl taking Redwing on the wing, up to seven Snipe, some giving snippets of song and another trapped, another Storm Petrel (usurping yesterday's bird as the third latest Bardsey record), a Woodcock and a smattering of winter thrushes. We used the gantry lights through the night and managed to avoid any fatalities. The grotty weather soon cleared this morning and we had a Great Northern Diver and a first-year Sabine's Gull out to the West. The Sabine's Gull is by far the latest Bardsey record; previous to today the latest record was one on the 8th November 1996.
Several Snipe continued to linger around the Island today. The trapped bird became the 86th species to be ringed this year. Ringing recoveries suggest that Snipe arrive to the UK from Northern and Eastern continental Europe before continuing their journey South along France and Iberia as winter progresses. Sadly the majority of birds recovered from the continent have been shot. (c) Richard Brown
It's not only birds that are attracted to the Lighthouse. These two Scarce Umber were also brought in, probably from the mainland. There is no reason that this common species shouldn't be a Bardsey breeder. However, as the females are flightless, presumably this species would only be present if a female, egg or larva had been introduced. (c) Richard Brown

It's said that Bardsey is home to 20,000 souls. There are a lot more being added at the moment. Death seems to be everywhere, and some of it is rather Pulp Fiction. In the land of the living a few finches and thrushes continue to trickle through and we've had up to six Chiffchaff, a Bullfinch and a Snow Bunting linger. Perhaps the most unusual record was a late Storm Petrel, although November records are more regular than we would have thought.
This gruesome Stormy is the third latest Bardsey record following birds on the 26th November 1959 and the 24th November 2006. Surprisingly Storm Petrels have been recorded in ten Novembers since Bardsey records began, all of which have been attracted to the Lighthouse. The reason that the head has been skinned, presumably by Field Mice, is uncertain. Birds at the base of the tower usually go unmolested by the rodents and Rich picked this bird up in heavy rain at 3am so the little critters didn't have too long to perform their ghastly act. Perhaps it was the strong scent of the petrel which attracted the mice? (c) Richard Brown
This juvenile female Sparrowhawk was found dead in the lowlands. Puncture wounds and a torn neck suggest that it came off second best in an argument with another bird, possibly a Peregrine. It is unlikely to be related to the juvenile male pictured below as young birds tend to disperse in different directions, a good way of avoiding inbreeding in birds which tend not to disperse very far. This bird was massive compared to the ringed male, indeed the Sparrowhawk shows a greater difference between the weights of males and females than any other raptor in the world. The average weight of a male in winter is around 150g, compared to a whopping 290g for a female. Two possible reasons for such a large difference are that sexes can specialise in different prey items and thus avoid competition when occupying relatively small territories, or that a larger female is better equipped to store food whilst incubating (and will therefore breed more successfully).

Although a Goldeneye, a Little Auk, a probable Water Pipit and a Snow Bunting have all been noted in the last few days, there is generally a quiet feeling to the island at the moment, as if things are keeping their heads down. With at least three Sparrowhawks working the island it's no surprise really. When trying to catch the Sparrowhawks we've had multiple near misses, with birds bouncing out of mist nets and escaping from the Heligoland. We were starting to think that this species would not be ringed in 2011, despite its status as a common migrant and with 105 ringed previously on Bardsey. Luckily however, Giselle managed to catch a juvenile male in the Heligoland Trap today, as it flew in hot pursuit of a tail-less Blackbird. The Blackbird got away.
Sparrowhawks did not breed on Bardsey this year, so where did this bird come from? British Sparrowhawks are sedentary and most juveniles settle in an area after a short dispersal which is typically completed within four weeks of independence. Territorial Sparrowhawks have varying sizes of foraging range depending on factors such as season, sex and age. A study in Scotland found a juvenile female in winter would range up to 7km from its roost site. In comparison an adult male in early spring could range as little as 10 hectares. Northern European Sparrowhawks are however migratory. Ringing recoveries show that most winter visitors to Britain come from Norway and Denmark. A passage of these continental birds is observed annually on the East Coast but ringing recoveries have also occurred on the West and in Ireland. It is thought that the majority are birds heading to wintering grounds on the nearby continent. So a wandering resident or a Norwegian migrant? Now it has a ring we might at least find out where it's going and how long it stays here munching Blackbirds. (c) Richard Brown

It's cold, windy and there isn't much about. But on Bardsey there's always something interesting to look at...
Either the second or third Satellite to be found on the Island. The name presumably comes from the marks on the forewing which resemble two satellites orbiting a bigger sphere. But the amazing thing about this smart winter Noctuid is the larva. The larvae feed during the night and hide during the day between leaves they spin together. When they are young they have a typical caterpillar diet of leaves. However as they get larger they develop more carnivorous tendencies and start to take the larvae of other species! (c) Richard Brown
Up to three Merlins, three Sparrowhawks and four Peregrines are hunting over Bardsey at the moment, along with an occasional Short-eared Owl or three. It's no surprise that we are encountering the corpses of plenty of thrushes and starlings along with a Redshank. These feathers were most of what remained of a corpse at the North End of the Island. A fair distance from typical habitat, this Water Rail had probably only just arrived to Bardsey when it met its demise. (c) Richard Brown

We wish to start with a congratulations to Dave Boyle on Skomer who, with the addition of his self-found Desert Wheatear yesterday, is now winning the Autumn Birdrace. Dave was also victorious last year with a Bobolink and Red-flanked Bluetail, both firsts for Skomer, taking him to an easy victory. This year is much closer but with only a couple of weeks left we need a bird or two. Sadly for us there is very little around and nothing different. The highlight of today was a photogenic Chough.
A record eight pairs of Chough nested on Bardsey this year. Sadly breeding productivity was bad for a third successive year. We need a way to increase productivity. One option would be to introduce a colony of Lesser Kestrels. In Northern Spain Choughs preferentially nest near Lesser K colonies as the diminutive falcons are better at detecting predators and are more vigorous in their defence of an area. Blanco and Tella found that only 16% of nests failed when near Kestrels, compared with a 65% failure when no Lesser Ks were present. The Chough has appeared on the stamps of several countries, although why it appeared on one from the Gambia, where the species does not occur, is unclear. (c) Richard Brown

The short November days mean we're out and about for both sunrise and sunset. There have been some pretty spectacular skies of late, and I (Giselle) have been armed with the little camera. Expect more of the following over the next few weeks!
Friday morning's sunrise from the South end was a moody one. The sun didn't really make it out of the clouds... (c) Giselle Eagle

Continuing strong winds from the southeast did little to spoil a beautiful sunny day. The highlight was three Whooper Swans which we watched come in from the west and battle past the Lighthouse tower. A Red-breasted Merganser did pretty much the same thing. As the year progresses we again start thinking about phenology, and there have been a few interesting records of late. The Wheatear we had on the 6th was only two days earlier than the latest ever record (a bird regrowing the primaries of one wing which Rich found on the mountain in 2009). The three Willow Warblers on the 4th were only a single day earlier than the latest ever (on the 5th November 2000). An exhausted Garden Warbler at the farm yesterday was still a fair bit earlier than one on the 21st November 1969. Today we flushed a Ring Ouzel from the plantation but the record departure date set last year is the 21st.
Two of the three Whooper Swans that passed the Lighthouse. Although a few pairs breed in the UK, it is very probable that these birds are of Icelandic origin. X-rays taken by WWT when the swans are trapped for ringing show that around 13% contain shotgun pellets, suggesting that illegal shooting is still a problem for these fantastic birds.

Horrendous rain and strong South-easterlies would put most people off heading out. To be honest it stopped us for a while and Rich seawatched out of the window. With only a couple of Mediterranean Gulls and a few hundred Black-headed Gulls and Kittiwakes in the first hour, we didn't expect much from the day. Fully waterproofed up we headed out. A Short-eared Owl flushed from the South End Gorse was as wet as we were. The weather eased as we crossed the Narrows and our attention turned to the larger gulls which were roosting above Solfach. Nine Lesser Black-backed Gulls was an increase on recent numbers but the wished for white-winged gull was nowhere to be seen. Until Rich turned and found that it was flying past us at close range. A brute of a first-year Glaucous Gull swept along the coast and off out to the South.This was the 20th record for the Island.
The Glaucous Gull is a scarce winter visitor to the UK with up to 500 records annually. More than 80% of these records are of first-years, as was this bird. Three separate subspecies are spread in a near circumpolar distribution, but the majority of British records probably come from the migratory East Greenland population and to a lesser extent Iceland and Russia. (c) Richard Brown
First-year Glaucous and Iceland Gulls have very similar plumage and are best separated on size, structure and bill pattern. This first-year Iceland Gull was in Scarborough Harbour on the 18th of January this year and will serve as a comparison. In the Iceland Gull the broader black tip of the bill fades into the paler base, the pink of which is much more 'bubblegum' in Glaucous. The Glauc looks like its bill has been dipped in black paint. In the Glauc the black covers a smaller percentage of the bill and the bill is long in Glauc, more than half the length of the head, whereas Icelands look much more dainty, weaker and less hooked, almost Common Gull-like. The Iceland Gull has a smaller, more dome-shaped head and shorter neck. When viewed alongside Herring Gulls the Glauc looked brutish whereas the Iceland was a smaller bird. However a big size difference between the largest of males and slimmest of females of each species means caution is necessary. (c) Richard Brown
Of the five bernicla Brent Geese that have been frequenting the Narrows, only two youngsters remain. This messy eater has already journeyed from Russia or West Siberia to spend the winter in North-west Europe. (c) Richard Brown

A calm spell, certainly by this autumn's standards, saw the Red-breasted Flycatcher remain for a second day before departing under a Milkyway filled sky, perhaps towards India and Bangladesh where it should have been heading. A cracking male Hen Harrier swept over the Island, remarkably only the second of the year. Black Redstarts are now a daily sight and vis migging has been pretty good, particularly the number of Fieldfare. Other conspicuous arrivals have been several Woodcocks, Water Rails and Short-eared Owls. At sea a few Pomarine Skuas and Mediterranean Gulls continue to linger offshore and up to five Brent Geese are visiting the Narrows.
The 235 Fieldfare recorded on the 7th was the most Bardsey has seen since 500 were logged on the 9th October 2004 (this is a tiny fraction of the Britain and Ireland overwintering population which is estimated at 1000000 individuals!). We managed to trap four of these cracking thrushes as a party of about 20 dropped into the Obs Garden. This was pretty good going as only 170 have been trapped here since 1953. We have now ringed 84 species this year. The broad tail and uniform greater coverts show this to be an adult bird and the blackness of the tail and broad flame-shaped black centers to the crown feathers suggest a male. (c) Richard Brown

As usual, apologies for the lack of Blog action. The internet has been down for what seems like forever. So we will continue now (with fingers crossed) to tell you about a day last week. It was a normal November day but as we walked the Narrows Rich said he could smell it in the air that there was going to be a good bird. Vis mig was good, and we decided to open some nets at Nant while playing a Finch-Medley, to entice some Brambling down. I (Giselle) went up to Nant to start opening nets while Rich went to check the rail traps that we'd set on our morning census. I was stood at the Plantation contemplating the weather, when KABOOMA, in dropped a Red-breasted Flycatcher onto a branch less than a metre away! It was trilling like a wren, and fly-catching in front of my very eyes. The bird was trapped and ringed before spending the rest of the day in the same area. Three Willow Warblers, all looking rather acredula-like, were also on the Island.
This is the first island record since June 2007 when one appeared briefly in Plas Withy. Luckily, this bird was rather more confiding (or hungry), spending the afternoon feeding along the south edge of the Plantation. (c) Richard Brown.

A rather wet and blustery few days have been brightened up by an extremely confiding Pallas's Warbler touring the gardens around the farm. The bird went missing for a while yesterday and was eventually located trapped in one of the polytunnels at the farm. Rich rescued it and Gis took the opportunity to ring it. The bird only had minimal fat reserves, as might be expected after the extremely windy weather had restricted it to feeding on the ground behind garden walls and hedges. Yesterday was the first calm day for a while and as a result plenty of birds took it as an opportunity to make a move. A minimum of 2800 Starling made spectacular patterns above the South End whilst 59 Skylark, 46 Jackdaw, a Rook, a Hooded Crow, 220 Chaffinch, seven Brambling, 57 Greenfinch, two Siskin, eight Goldfinch, 33 Linnet, seven Redpoll and three Reed Bunting passed overhead. Today we've found a couple of Black Redstarts.
This stunning little sprite was dubbed Phylloscopus proregulus by Pallas. Phylloscopus translates literally as 'leaf-seeker' and proregulus as 'close to regulus'. The regulus in question is the Goldcrest and there are several similarities between the two species, particularly in terms of size (wing lengths and weights both overlap and there is a bias towards males being fractionally larger in both). The two species are also similar in their active behaviour, constantly flitting around branches and leaves, peering into each bend in the foliage and deftly picking out the inverts. (c) Richard Brown
In the hand the wing measured 52.5mm and the tail 38mm, both indicative of a male but so close to the overlap range with females that it's best not to sex it on size alone. It weighed 5.7g (to put that into perspective a 10p piece ways 6.5g!). (c) Richard Brown

The ACDA receives many questions from parents who have lost a baby to ACDMPV. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions. It is impossible for the ACDA to know about all the cases of ACDMPV in the world, and we are not medical professionals. Therefore, the following answers are based on our current knowledge of ACDMPV. For a look at statistical information compiled by the ACDA based on families that have registered with the ACDA, please see the summary below (as of June 2015).
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes ACDMPV?
What are the chances of me having another baby with ACDMPV?
Do you know anyone who has gone on to have a healthy child?
Is there anything that can be done during a pregnancy to detect ACDMPV?
What measures should be taken upon birth of a subsequent baby?
What is the longest a baby has survived with ACDMPV?
Is there research being done on ACDMPV?
How can I participate in the ACDMPV study at Baylor?
Do you know if they are close to finding the gene that causes ACDMPV?
How can I get a copy of the articles listed in this website?
Are there any statistics, graphs, charts or other data available that summarizes the ACDA community of registered families?
What causes ACDMPV?
The incidence or prevalence of ACDMPV is not yet known but there are clearly more cases than those that have been reported formally in the medical literature, which as of a May 2011 case review included more than 100 documented cases since ACDMPV was first recognized in the American Journal of Pathology in 1948. The ACDA has grown to close to 200 families from around the world.
For most cases, the cause of ACDMPV is unknown. For additional information, please refer to the information on ACDMPV genetics HERE.
What are the chances of me having another baby with ACDMPV?
Unfortunately, there is not a definitive answer to that question yet. For additional information, please refer to the information on ACDMPV genetics HERE.
Do you know anyone who has gone on to have a healthy child?
Yes, the vast majority of ACDA registered families have had subsequent pregnancies resulting in a healthy baby.
For a look at statistical information compiled by the ACDA based on families that have registered with the ACDA, please see the summary below (as of June 2015).
Is there anything that can be done during pregnancy to detect ACDMPV?
Unfortunately, ACDMPV cannot be definitively detected in utero at this time. However, there is a prenatal test now available at Baylor Miraca Genetics Laboratories that will detect a mutation in FOXF1 or deletions in chromosome 16 close to FOXF1 (contact Baylor at 1-800-411-4363), which may give a presumptive prenatal diagnosis of ACDMPV if such mutation or deletion is found to be present.
Even in cases without a prior family history of ACDMPV, ultrasounds can sometimes detect anomalies associated with ACDMPV (commonly gastrointestional or heart defects) but evidence of an associated malformation does not confirm the existence of ACDMPV. If an ultrasound detects an extra-pulmonary anomaly associated with ACDMPV, a Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) or Amniocentesis can be requested and sent to Baylor Miraca Genetics Laboratories to check for a mutation in FOXF1 or deletions in chromosome 16 close to FOXF1, which may give a presumptive prenatal diagnosis of ACDMPV if such mutation or deletion is found to be present.
Please check the website for a list of FOXF1 – Related Disorders tests available at Baylor Miraca Genetics Laboratories (Click the blue dot to view test details. Red dot = current test.)
What measures should be taken upon birth of a subsequent baby?
Many families notify the doctors and nurses at the hospital about their previous loss and the potential for problems. Several families have had their baby placed in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to be monitored and some have an oxygen saturation monitor placed on the baby for regular monitoring while at the hospital.
What is the longest a baby has survived with ACDMPV?
There are a handful of cases where the child has lived beyond the time period where classical symptoms of ACDMPV typically present. For a look at statistical information compiled by the ACDA based on families that have registered with the ACDA, please see the summary below (as of June 2015).
It may be possible to have misalignment of pulmonary veins and also atypical or late presenting cases of ACDMPV, which can affect the severity of the case. Classically, ACDMPV is considered a fatal diagnosis, however, some patients have survived with atypical or late presenting ACDMPV long enough to receive lung transplants. According to a 2013 case series conducted by St. Louis Children's Hospital (the most active pediatric lung transplant program in the world), four ACDMPV patients (ages 4 months, 5 months, 9 months and 20 months of age at time of transplant) with atypical presentations of ACDMPV each underwent a successful bilateral lung transplantation (BLT). As stated in the case study, "If they survive to BLT, patients with ACDMPV can have successful outcomes" and the ACDMPV patients "are alive at last follow-up at 1, 8, 9 and 12 years of age" (as of May 2013). See Case Series Of Infants With Atypical Presentations Of Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia With Misalignment Of The Pulmonary Veins Who Underwent Bilateral Lung Transplantation. White, F., S. Sweet, R. M. Grady, A. Faro, P. Michelson, P. Eghtesady, U. Boston et al. (2013): In: Am J Respir Crit Care Med 187 (2013): A2251. In addition, in 2016, an ACDMPV patient in the UK and a second ACDMPV patient at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA each received a successful bilateral lung transplant at the ages of 5 months and 4 months, respectively.
Is there research being done on ACDMPV?
Yes. A team of doctors and scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston are in a multi-year study to determine the genetic causes of ACDMPV. They are locating new families through the ACDA, GeneTest ®, neonatologists, pathologists, geneticists and genetic counselors. They utilize blood and tissues samples to conduct their research.
How can I participate in the ACDMPV study at Baylor?

All that is usually required is some information on your family and a blood sample from each family member. Dr. Stankiewicz is the lead researcher for the study and can explain in more detail what is required. The more families that participate the better the chances are of finding a cause and cure for ACDMPV.
Do you know if they are close to finding the gene that causes ACDMPV?

Are there any statistics, graphs, charts or other data available that summarizes the ACDA community of registered families?
STATISTICAL UPDATE (as of June 2015):
It has been about three years since we provided a statistical look at the ACDA community of registered families. The following data is only on families that have registered with the ACDA and DOES NOT include all reported or known cases of ACDMPV. We hope the charts and reports answer some of your questions and provide insight into ACDMPV.
A couple of notes on the data:
a. We are respectful of the privacy of families registered with the ACDA, and if you have requested that certain information not be shared, we suppress it in any data shared with other people (e.g. the ACDA Directory). However, all of the data is used to generate reports and charts because that information is not uniquely identifiable to a specific family.
b. The data is accurate to the best of our knowledge, but we know that some is not current as we have lost contact with several families. However, we believe it is reasonably representative of the ACDA families that have registered.
1. How many babies with ACDMPV have been reported to the ACDA? Since the 2012 update, there have been an additional 42 cases bringing the total to 177 live births and 4 unborn. The increasing number of ACDMPV children starting in 2010 could indicate that knowledge and awareness of ACDMPV in the medical community is on the rise and not necessarily that there are more cases.
2. What are the chances that our next child will have ACDMPV? This is the most common question we receive and it is a difficult question to answer as all of the cause(s) of ACDMPV are not known. This data is based on the 178 families in the ACDA database:Families with one child born with ACDMPV169Families* with two children born with ACDMPV3Families* with three children born with ACDMPV2Families with unborn ACDMPV child4Families that had a healthy child after an ACDMPV baby **84Families who have not had another child (or not known to us)94
* A Family is defined as children from the same parents (i.e. re-marrying would be another family).
** Two of the four families that had two ACDMPV babies went on to have a healthy child. The other two families with two ACDMPV babies have not had another child together.
3. Does ACDMPV affect males and females equally? The research papers we have seen indicate that ACDMPV affects males and females equally. As the sample size has grown over the years, the data is converging on the 50/50 ratio. The 2010 data was 57% female and 43% male, 2012 showed 52% female and 48% male. Current data shows 51% female and 49% male.
4. Are ACDMPV babies more likely to be born at certain times of the year? Looking at the ACDA family data, there appears to be a minor trend of more babies born in the Spring, but maybe more children in general are born then. The trend is less pronounced now than in prior charts.
5. How long do babies with ACDMPV live? ACDMPV is a fatal disorder unless heart/lung transplant surgery is performed. Transplants are limited by the short time frame available, limited pool of donor organs and need for matching.
ACDMPV often presents itself within a few hours or days while the baby is still in the hospital, but in several cases it has not presented until weeks later. When the symptoms present and the level of care available to an ACDMPV baby affect how long the baby will live. We don't have specific data on when babies presented with ACDMPV or what levels of care were provided, but the following chart shows that babies live from less than a day to more than a year in several cases.
6. Where do ACDA families live? ACDA families are currently located in 24 countries throughout the world, which is an increase of 8 countries since 2012. The largest groups remain the same since the last chart with approximately 59% in the USA, 11% in the UK and 6% in Canada.
7. Are there any ACDMPV affected families that live near me? One of the benefits of registering with the ACDA is being able to connect with others that have also experienced the loss of a child to ACDMPV. When you feel all alone and like no one really knows what you've been through, communicating with other families can be very healing. The map below shows ACDMPV family locations around the world. See if anyone lives near you to allow more interaction for support or collaboration on a fundraiser. Consult the ACDA directory for more specific contact information. We can email you an updated directory if you need one.

What does it take to hold effective meetings, meetings that people will enjoy rather than dread? Let's look first at the reasons people say they hate meetings, then we can easily identify how to avoid those pitfalls.
Reasons People Hate MeetingsThe number one reason (according to GiveMore.com's 2012 survey):
· Meeting leaders allow attendees to ramble and repeat comments and thoughts.Other complaints about meetings that were listed as the most frustrating were:
- Starts late, goes off agenda, finishes late
- No specific action items or takeaway points
- No clear purpose or objective
- Not inspiring or motivating
- Not organized and there is no agenda
- Too long
- Repeating information for late arrivals
- Weak presenter who is unprepared, monotone, or overly redundant
- Boring and provides no new or interesting information
These seem perfectly reasonable objections to bad meetings.
Here's how to avoid these pitfalls:
- Identify a clear purpose
- Identify specific action items or takeaway points
- Distribute an agenda in advance of the meeting to give people time to prepare
- Do not attend (or require attendance at) meetings unless new info will be conveyed
- Limit duration of meetings to 90 minutes. If a meeting must run two hours, allow a 10 minute break
- Start on time, appoint a timekeeper
- Appoint a recorder
- Do not repeat info for late arrivals
- Stay on agenda; appoint a monitor
- Choose skilled presenters
- Finish on time
Agenda sets time limits.
The agenda should specify time allotted to each topic. Because if not times are specified, it gives the mis-impression that everything is equally important.
Create a visual record.
If everyone in the room can see the minutes being recorded, this solves several problems at once. It minimizes repetition…

Perhaps more rapidly than ever, our work lives are changing. The concept of a career is dramatically evolving – the idea of lifelong allegiance to a company, occupation or industry has all but disappeared, whether by choice or necessity. How we get our jobs, how long we keep them, whether we are employed full time or a freelancer, what we actually do at work – all of this is morphing at an unprecedented pace.
As everywhere else, software has had a disproportionate impact on this evolution, exposing opportunities and increasing market fluidity (job boards, LinkedIn), changing hiring processes (applicant tracking systems) and hiring criteria ("how are your Salesforce skills?"). It is impacting the daily reality of work (Slack), vacation (always on) or the very nature of the job itself (data scientist, Uber driver). And, as the generation that never knew a world without the Internet hits the job market, we're in the early innings of an even more profound evolution: the gradual penetration of artificial intelligence in all layers of human activity.
Against this rapidly evolving reality, we're educating future generations through one dominant model – college – that emerged in Europe in the XI century and in America in the XVII century. From the Ivy League to the GI Bill, college is a deeply ingrained part of the American fabric, a widely accepted norm and a major goal for the vast majority of families.
In principle, and often enough in reality, college is a wonderful thing. Four years of learning, experimenting, socializing and maturing (in various proportions). A rite of passage into early adulthood. And there's certainly an argument for thinking that, in a context where the job you'll have in 15 years may very well not yet exist today, a broad education that teaches you how to learn and how to think may be exactly what you need.
Unfortunately, for most students, the logic breaks once you start looking at college in economic terms. From that perspective, college in America is a product with an increasingly terrible ROI.
Perhaps, if you're one of the chosen few who get in an Ivy League or other top school, you may very well get a good "return" on your investment, in the form of a good job (although, as we saw in the aftermath of the 2008 Great Recession, there are no guarantees). Or if you belong to the small group of students who, through a combination of difficult economic circumstances and merit, get full ride scholarships, your lower "investment" may continue to make the ROI equation of college work.
But for everybody else out there – the vast majority of higher ed students in America – the situation is increasingly dire. Almost every student (90%+) says they go to college to get a job and make more money. Yet 74% of college graduates believe their university failed to prepare them for work, and employers agree. Average net earnings of college graduates have actually been decreasing. Most importantly, the cost of college has been skyrocketing, leaving students with vast amounts of debt ($50,000 on average for today's freshmen), which happens to be the one type of debt that generally cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Millions leave college with a few credits but no degrees, while many others graduate in 5 or 6 years as they need to work side jobs to support themselves while in college.
This crisis, which has been brewing for decades but is now reaching a tipping point, makes it absolutely necessary for viable alternatives to emerge, for the many students for whom college does not make sense.
Today I'm thrilled to share that FirstMark is leading an $8.5M Series A in MissionU, an exciting new provider of "college alternative" education, co-founded by Adam Braun (founder of Pencils of Promise, a highly innovative and successful charity, and a New York Times bestselling author), and Mike Adams (of boot camp startup Hack Reactor). We are joined by a sterling group of new investors (John Doerr, Omidyar Network) and existing ones (First Round, Founder Collective, Box Group, University Ventures, Learn Capital, Rethink Education).
MissionU offers a one-year program that combines general education with specialized skills training to prepare individuals for real-world jobs. Leveraging lessons learned by observing decades of experimentation in online learning, and more recently coding bootcamps, MissionU offers a program that pushes higher education resolutely into the 21st century: small cohorts, a blended online/offline model, project based learning that simulates work environments, emphasis on soft skills and team work, and deep relationships with employer partners (Spotify, Uber, Warby Parker, Harry's, Birchbox, 2U, etc.). Lastly, MissionU enables its students to graduate debt-free through the use of an income sharing agreement (ISA), fully aligning MissionU's revenues with its students' success.
As in any early-stage investment, ultimately the decision is all about the privilege of working with exceptional founders. The education industry can be unforgiving, and requires teams with a very special blend of missionary zeal, hard-nosed business sense and a very rare ability to build a dominant brand. Adam and Mike bring all of this to the table and then some, and we're honored that they chose to partner with FirstMark among the several quality options they had for this financing round.
MissionU just launched its first cohort in San Francisco (receiving in the process 4,700+ applications for 25 spots) in an area that's near and dear to my heart: data analytics and business intelligence. The next cohort will kick off in January 2018 in SF with the same major, and MissionU will expand to other cities shortly thereafter. Applications are open here. Stay tuned for more to come from this team!

Style Files with PrettyPrice: Forever 21 Faux Leather Skater Skirt, Joyrich Minnie Mouse Tee, Thrifted Mustard Blazer, and Sam Edelman "Uma" Booties
After having a great Monday last week, I was hoping for the same this week. WRONG. All WRONG. It was kind of awful,Sweeties. I won't bore you with the particulars, but understand I had serious #ReporterProblems. Even through the yucky stuff, there was a glimmer of sunshine. I met former SEC Head Referee Dick Burleson. Burleson officiated SEC games for 25 years. How cool?
Anyway, today's a new day and I'm sure it will be great!!!!! If not, I will just reminisce on my amazing weekend in Birmingham with family. Now that's a story worth sharing.
I'm putting together a tribute video for my grandma, who is turning 75 this month. So I interviewed several people in my family and it was great hearing all the funny stories about my number one girl (grandma).
I also spent time with my mom and dad. This trip home, I even saw all my nieces and nephews. I'm the proud aunt of five nieces and two nephews. Yes, it's a lot of them and I love them all to pieces!
Just when I thought this weekend couldn't get any better, it did. I snagged some awesome pieces from the thrift store. And when I say "I snagged," it's more like my mom snagged. She spotted all the looks and she did GOOD! Look out for a HAUL video, it's just that good.
This was a perfect weekend! Sometimes just spending time with the ones you love is all you need.

I'll SEE it When I BELIEVE It | LeaderLink Newsletter
By Don Johnston
When I was a student growing up with dyslexia in the 1950s, most people had very little hope for me. Not much was known about dyslexia back then.
All people saw was a troublemaker who couldn't read, and they assumed that my problems were caused by laziness. They didn't see the potential of the child hidden under the mask.
What did change for me was getting a teacher who saw things differently. She saw beyond my reputation. That teacher was my 8th grade English and History teacher, Mrs. Tedesco.
She told me that I could do better—that she believed in me. It was the first time I heard those words from a teacher. It set off a chain of events: reading my first chapter book in the 9th grade, high school graduation, college, grad school, and starting a business to help students like me.
How powerful a belief can be!
First, Mrs. Tedesco believed in me, and then she taught me to believe in myself. Once people could see these changes, it was easy for them to believe. But none of this would have happened without someone believing first.
We need to reject the pessimistic "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude and believe first!
That's why our First Author Writing Curriculum lessons start with the class yelling, "I'M AN AUTHOR!" We instill the belief first, and if you've been in a First Author classroom, you've seen it work.
We change expectations. Students come into First Author with no prior experience with writing and they leave seeing writing as communication and self-expression.
First Author helps teachers believe in the potential of each and every student and helps students believe in themselves.
My experience was just like the students in the First Author video. A simple belief can set off a chain of events. So while the pessimist may say, "I'll believe it when I see it," I say, "I'll see it when I BELIEVE IT."
And I believe it!

Here Are Your Key Position Battles
Former Dallas Cowboys beat writer, Tom Orsborn, takes a look at some of the key position battles heading into training camp.
The battle for the cornerback spot opposite Terence Newman took a strange twist late last month when Jenkins declared via his blog that he's the starter heading into training camp. The truth is the spot is up for grabs and that the two second-year players likely will slug it out well into the preseason. Jenkins is the better athlete and was the higher draft pick last year, but Scandrick's confidence and football smarts make everyone wonder why he lasted until the fifth round.
Wide receiver
After getting most of the reps in the offseason, Crayton is the frontrunner for the No. 2 receiver job behind lead dog Roy Williams. But Jerry Jones loves Austin's speed and potential and has even mentioned he believes Austin could approach Terrell Owens-like production. One problem, though: Austin has yet to prove he can stay healthy. His latest injury was a strained hamstring that sidelined him during minicamp.
Offensive guard
One of the biggest question marks entering camp is whether left guard Kosier can return to form after foot surgery. His injury problems were a big reason why the offensive line struggled at times last season. The Cowboys acquired Holland in a trade with Denver last preseason and he was slow to learn the offense. But the native of Jefferson, Texas, filled in for Kosier late in the season and could make a strong bid to unseat him.
Widely viewed as a first-round bust, Carpenter has a chance to shine as the replacement for nickel linebacker Kevin Burnett, who signed with San Diego in free agency. Carpenter's finesse style makes him a natural to defend on passing downs, but Williams is a superb athlete with blazing speed. Still, it will take time for the third-round pick to learn the pro game, the main reason why Carpenter is favored to win this fight.
Here are a few other situations that bear watching.
We drafted kicker David Buehler in the fifth round and I'm sure he'll be cutting into somebody's time. I don't see the wisdom in carrying three kickers on the team between Buehler, McBriar and Folk. One of them could be traded.
Jerry Jones loves exposure, so don't underestimate the presence of Jesse Holley in training camp. Not only will his success usher in a new breed of Cowboys fans courtesy of the reality show 4th and Long, but sales and marketing would get a huge boost in revenue if Holley were to make the team. Sam Hurd better be looking over his shoulder.
Lastly, who will replace the departed safety Roy Williams? Who will pair up with Ken Hamlin in the secondary? Some might think that Gerald Sensabaugh is a lock, but the Cowboys have not given up on Pat Watkins yet, and they did select DeAngelo Smith out of Cincinnati in the NFL Draft. I'm thinking that the ending to the story at safety hasn't been written just yet.
Any way you look at it, there will be no shortage of battles and story-lines at this year's training camp. So strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

Press releases
University experts providing support to storm hit Philippines
Expert advice developed by Loughborough University on how to provide safe drinking water and sanitation services in emergency situations is being distributed across the Philippines.
The UN estimate that 11 million people may have been affected by Typhoon Haiyan – one of the most powerful storms on record – 673,000 of which are now displaced.
To support the relief effort vital technical publications created by the University's Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) are being distributed to charities, governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in the affected areas.
WEDC, part of the School of Civil and Building Engineering, is a world-leading education and research institute specialising in fostering knowledge and capacity in water supply and sanitation in developing countries. It works directly with some of the world's biggest charitable organisations and NGOs, providing free expert advice on lifesaving issues.
WEDC staff work across the globe providing emergency support, as well as delivering expert training for people working on the ground to improve conditions for those living in some the world's poorest countries.
Speaking about its role in the Philippines WEDC's Mike Smith said: "Typhoon Haiyan has completely devastated large parts of the Philippines and anything that WEDC can do to support the country's recovery we will do. The centre has already been contacted directly by one NGO that has close links to WEDC for information on water resources, and our emergency water and sanitation guidance documents have been distributed to many others working in the area. We will continue to offer any extra support needed."

Defining | What's Next
By now, every trucker and fleet owner knows that Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is being used to control diesel engine emissions in order to meet EPA tailpipe emission standards. By passing these new regulations, the EPA created a whole new market in the nation's motor-vehicle fueling industry, with DEF on the verge of becoming a multi-million dollar a year segment.
Although volume estimates vary, there is no question that the demand for DEF will grow in future years, with some estimates putting total DEF consumption in the U.S. at more than 600 million gallons by 2015. With projections like these and the demand for DEF on the rise, it is no surprise that many fleets and truck stop retailers are beginning to purchase DEF and the equipment needed to dispense it. In addition, some larger fleets have begun installing bulk quantities of DEF to service SCR-equipped trucks at central locations, and a couple of large truck shop chains have installed specially designed DEF dispensers on the fuel islands.
For example, Pilot Flying J recently announced that by May 1, 2012, DEF will be available from 1,800 fuel lanes at 300 Pilot Flying J locations nationwide. Beginning in the 4th quarter of 2011, Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores will begin installing bulk containers for DEF at 50 of its truck stops. In addition, TravelCenters of America expects to install about 50 on-island DEF dispensers at locations across the country in the coming months with many more locations to follow.
For more information on where DEF can be purchased, please check out the following DEF finder maps.
As the DEF dispenser infrastructure grows, so to will the issue of the possible mis-filling of DEF into a truck's diesel fuel tank. By using different nozzle sizes, the EPA has ensured that diesel will not wind up in the DEF tank; however, they have not done anything to address the problems that could arise if DEF is mistakenly put in the diesel tank. If DEF is mistakenly put in a diesel tank, some serious and expensive engine repairs could be in order. And in addition to the maintenance costs incurred, there are also additional environmental concerns if a mis-filling does take place.
To help avoid DEF mis-fillings, OPW Fueling Components has provided a cost-effective solution: the OPW 21Gu DEF nozzle and Mis-Filling Prevention Device. The 21Gu is a proven technology that has been standardized by the European trucking and fueling industry and is a fail-safe way to alleviate any mis-filling concerns by truckers and fleet owners. The 21Gu Mis-Filling Prevention Device (MFPD) is inserted into the fill pipe of the DEF tank onboard a truck. If a driver inadvertently tries to fill their diesel tank with DEF, the 21Gu nozzle will not open. After noticing that nothing is being dispensed, the driver will realize the error and fill DEF into the correct tank. The 21Gu nozzle includes a magnetic device that, when inserted into a MFPD, activates and allows product to flow freely.
To learn more about the OPW 21Gu nozzle and how to avoid DEF mis-fillings, please read the article from the UREA/Diesel Exhaust Fluid Supply Supplement. And remember to leave use your feedback.
