Secular musician turned urban gospel artiste Obiora Obiwon returns with three new singles from his forthcoming third album entitled "T.R2012".
T.R2012 is the sequel to the successful 2009 sophomore "The Rebirth". He explains in his own words, "I felt I had so much to say and express musically on 'The Rebirth' which wasn't said or heard enough, hence the urge to turn it up a notch and find more expression in a sequel". The three singles "Follow You", "Good To Me" and "F.a.t.h.e.r (Part 2)" are scheduled for release starting Sunday August 28th 2011. The song F.a.t.h.e.r (Part 2) gets reissued after it debuted late last year and was later pulled back due to the artiste's unavailability while undergoing minor surgery.
Musically, Obiwon experiments with a blend of electronic music over cultural rhythms and HipHop styles in varying degrees, while breathing his deepest convictions in rawer forms over characteristically expressive vocals. Listeners and fans in Lagos can catch Obiwon on live interview to break the songs on the morning of Sunday the 28th with Freeze on Cool 96.9 FM and with Yaw on 95.1 Wazobia FM, as well as other radio schedules and fan give-aways within the issue week.
Listeners across the globe will be able to stream and download the songs on major Nigerian music and entertainment sites. On his general musical path and future, the artiste introspectively affirms, "My greatest musical ambition is to be vehicle for music that speaks life and brings healing and can also be fun when required. I'm so thankful to have found the purpose of my own existence and gifting and I'm glad to continually give in to the higher calling".

In 2006 the artist and her colleague João Sousa Cardoso were invited to participate in the exhibition Busca Pólos that the Museum of Contemporary Art Serralves in Porto commissioned Salão Olímpico to curate. Salão Olímpico, an initiative of a group of artists, operated between 2003 and 2005 and presented periodic exhibitions of visual arts, video exhibitions and performances. Many of the leading figures in the Portuguese art world exhibited their works in this venue. Specifically for this occasion, Paes Leão and Cardoso realised Plural I&II: two films of twenty minutes each, portraying the political developments in Portugal in the twentieth century in a very direct and raw manner. The work was not only exhibited at Serralves, but also at the Vila Flor Cultural Centre in Guimarães and at the Portuguese Pavilion in Coimbra.
By 2006 both Paes Leão and Cardoso had left Portugal and were now living in respectively the Netherlands and France. This process of migration had led both artists to investigate what their Portuguese identity meant, but also to critically look at Portuguese culture and history. Plural I&II is a result of that process. The films portray Portugal as a country in crisis, with a vicious political system, where a high percentage of the population appears to lack a sense of political conscience. The films also urge the Portuguese to be aware of their collective past in order to be able to understand the facts of the present and to discover better alternatives for the future. Both films use excerpts from História de Portugal written by José Mattoso between 1993 and 1995. This comprehensive work debunks the glorious myths and legends that were taught in history-class and offers a completely new perspective on the Portuguese past based on proven facts alone. In Plural I&II these scientific texts were interspersed with old video footage the artists had made previously as part of the group Terrorist Cunt, described later.

There are five rhinoceros species. 1) the white rhinoceros of Africa; 2) the black rhinoceros of Africa; 3) the Indian rhinoceros; 4) Sumatran rhinoceros of Sumatra, Borneo and Southeast Asia; and 5) the Javanese rhinoceros. The one horned rhinoceros of Asia is the second largest of the five species of rhino. The African white rhino is the largest and the African black rhino is third, followed by the Sumatran rhino and the Javanese rhino.
The folds in the inch-thick hide of the one horned Indian and Sumatran rhinos make them look as if they are plated in armor. Most Asian rhinoceroses are found in India and Nepal with some in Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo and Vietnam and perhaps in Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.
There are far fewer rhinos in Asia: only 3,500, versus 25,000 across Africa. Countries where Asian rhinos are found---Indonesia, Nepal and India---have pledged to take steps to grow their rhino populations by three percent annually.
See Separate Article on the SUMATRAN RHINO.
Rhino News: mongabay.com; savetherhino.org
African Rhinos
White rhinoceroses weigh up to 4,500 pounds and stand six feet at the shoulder (males: 168 centimeters, females: 152 centimeters). They are dived into two subspecies: the northern, which has been virtually wiped out in its home range in Uganda and the Sudan; and the southern, which has made a come back in South Africa. White rhinos are not named after color. "White" is a corruption of " weit," Afrikaans for wide, a reference to the animals wide lips. But black rhinos ironically were named after their color to distinguish them from white rhinos.
White rhinos are heavier and more placid than black rhinos . They have broad square muzzle and prefer open country, where they crop grass. Their exposure in open country made them easy to spot and kill. White rhinos are remarkably non-aggressive. It is possible to drive a vehicle within a couple feet of them, or approach them on foot, at an equally close range, and they won't even bat an eyelash. The mainly feed on grass which they pluck a few blades at a time with their broad, squareish upper lip.
The main difference between black and white rhinos is the shape of their mouths - white rhinos have broad flat lips for grazing, whereas black rhinos have long pointed lips for eating foliage. A subspecific hybrid white rhino was bred at the Zoological Garden Dvur Kralove in the Czech Republic in 1977. Interspecific hybridisation of black and white rhinoceros has also been confirmed. While the black rhinoceros has 84 chromosomes, all other rhinoceros species have 82 chromosomes.
The black rhinoceros weighs 3000 pounds and stands nearly five feet at the shoulder (males: 152 centimeters, females: 137 centimeters) . They are more aggressive than white rhinos and have been known to charge trains that broached their territory. Black rhinos can reach speeds of 35 miles per hour, and turn and change directions incredible fast. The are sometimes hard to see in the wild because the rest in the shade during the daytime and hang it scrubby bush country.
Black rhinos eat mostly shrubs, herbs and fruit, but hardly any grass. They have constantly rotating ears, inch-thick hide and a pointed upper lip and a overlapping lower lip, which allows the animal to grasp twigs and leaves. If there is enough moisture in their food they can go several weeks without water. They enjoy wallowing in the dust and mud. They have the habit of stomping in their own dung to leave odor trails across the savannah, making it easier for other rhinos to find their whereabouts.
Indian Rhinos
The Indian rhinoceros---also called greater one-horned rhinoceros and Asian one-horned rhinoceros---and the Javanese rhinoceros are the only rhinos with one horn. The Indian species has thick, silver-brown skin which creates huge folds all over its body. Its upper legs and shoulders are covered in wart-like bumps, and it has very little body hair. Fully grown males are larger than females in the wild, weighing from 2,500 to 3,200 kilograms (5,500 to 7,100 pounds). Female Indian rhinos weigh about 1,900 kilograms. The single horn of the Indian rhino reaches a length of between 20 and 100 centimeters. Males have larger, tusklike incisors for fighting other males during the breeding season.
The Indian rhinoceros is the second largest animal in Asia after the Asian elephant. It stands at 1.75 to 2.0 meters (5.75 to 6.5 feet) at the shoulder and are three to four meters long. The largest one ever recorded weight approximately 3,800 kilograms. Its size is comparable to that of the white rhino in Africa. The Indian rhino is a creature of habit. Every evening it visits regular sites to wallow in the mud. The deeps folds in its skin create a plating effect, making the animal look as if is wearing armor, which is accentuated by tubercles (lumps), especially on the sides and rear. These resemble rivets. The pink skin within the folds is vulnerable to parasites. These are sometimes removed by egrets and tick birds. Indian rhinos have very little body hair aside from eyelashes, ear fringes and tail brush.
The Indian rhinoceros is usually found in areas of tall grass, an environment also favored by tigers. The grasses can grow as tall as eight meters high in the wet season and serve as a hiding place and a primary sources of food. These rhinos tend to feed mainly at twilight and at night, curling their upper lip around the stems to bend and bite the tend tips. They are also the most aquatic rhino. They are often seen wading or swimming, in wide rivers. A typical rhino has a territory of two to eight square kilometers, whose size is dependant on the availability of food and the quality of the habitat. Males are tolerant of intruders into their territory outside the breeding season. A single calf is usually born after a 16 month gestation period. It typically stays with the mother until her next offspring is born, which ma be three years later.
Indian Rhino Social Life and Behavior
According to The Return of the Unicorns: The Natural History and Conservation of the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros by E. Dinerstein: The Indian rhinoceros forms a variety of social groupings. Adult males are generally solitary, except for mating and fighting. Adult females are largely solitary when they are without calves. Mothers will stay close to their calves for up to four years after their birth, sometimes allowing an older calf to continue to accompany her once a newborn calf arrives. Subadult males and females form consistent groupings as well. Groups of two or three young males will often form on the edge of the home ranges of dominant males, presumably for protection in numbers. Young females are slightly less social than the males. Indian rhinos also form short-term groupings, particularly at forest wallows during the monsoon season and in grasslands during March and April. Groups of up to 10 rhinos may gather in wallows---typically a dominant male with females and calves, but no subadult males. [Source: Wikipedia; Dinerstein, E. The Return of the Unicorns: The Natural History and Conservation of the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros (2003, Columbia University Press)]
The Indian rhinoceros makes a wide variety of vocalizations. At least ten distinct vocalizations have been identified: snorting, honking, bleating, roaring, squeak-panting, moo-grunting, shrieking, groaning, rumbling and humphing. In addition to noises, the rhino uses olfactory communication. Adult males urinate backwards, as far as 3 to 4 meters behind them, often in response to being disturbed by observers. Like all rhinos, the Indian rhinoceros often defecates near other large dung piles. The Indian rhino has pedal scent glands which are used to mark their presence at these rhino latrines. Males have been observed walking with their heads to the ground as if sniffing, presumably following the scent of females. [Ibid]
In aggregations, Indian rhinos are often friendly. They will often greet each other by waving or bobbing their heads, mounting flanks, nuzzling noses, or licking. Rhinos will playfully spar, run around, and play with twigs in their mouth. Adult males are the primary instigators in fights. Fights between dominant males are the most common cause of rhino mortality and males are also very aggressive toward females during courtship. Males will chase females over long distances and even attack them face-to-face. Unlike African rhinos, the Indian rhino fights with its incisors, rather than its horns. [Ibid]
Endangered Indian Rhinos
The Indian rhinoceros is now found almost exclusively in Nepal and northeastern India in the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. It once ranged across the entire Ganges plain, but when large tracts of swamp land and reed jungles was converted to farms their numbers declined sharply. They now exist only in several scattered and fragmented protected areas of India (in Assam, West Bengal, Gujarat and a few pairs in Uttar Pradesh) and Nepal, plus a few pairs in Lal Suhanra National Park in Pakistan. The rhinos that live in these areas are threatened by poaching and loss of habitat.
About 2,000 Great Indian rhinoceros remain in India and Nepal, up from 1,700 in 1984. More than half the Indian rhinos that remain in the wild (1,200 animals) live in Kaziranga National Park in Assam. The park also contains a large numbers of tigers. Indian rhinoceros populations are healthy even though 266 rhinos is India were killed for their horn between 1989 and 1993. Protection in Nepal and India have increased its numbers to where translocation is possible.
Poaching of Indian Rhinos in Assam
In August 2012, Manimugdha S Sharma of TNN wrote: "Poachers killed a full-grown male rhinoceros inside a forest in Jorhat district, Assam. A forest department team found the carcass in the woods hand-reared by 'forest man of India' Jadav Payeng. "I heard gunshots around 10am and immediately alerted the forest department. But nobody came until Thursday morning. It was the only rhino in my forest. I have lost him," Payeng told TOI amid sobs. Divisional forest officer (DFO) Naba Kumar Malakar confirmed the killing and said the team did not find any visible proof of poaching despite combing the forest the whole day. "The poachers sawed off the rhino horn and its nails. We have found holes in the hide, which look like bullet wounds," Malakar said. [Source: Manimugdha S Sharma, TNN August 4, 2012]
Ranger Pankaj Kalita said the difficulties in reaching the forest---locally known as 'Molai Kathoni' (Molai's Woods) after Payeng's pet name Molai---also hampered the search operation. But not everyone has been convinced by this "explanation". "I had called up the forest office around 12pm on Wednesday when I learnt about the gunshots from Payeng. Why did it take four hours for the message to be relayed to the DFO? If they had acted with alacrity, they could have nabbed the poachers before they left the forest. Poachers were seen earlier in the forest and two of them had been arrested due to Payeng's timely information. Only if they had acted with a sense of urgency," said Jitu Kalita, Payeng's associate.
This year's flood in Assam alone claimed 17 rhinos in Kaziranga National Park, with poachers adding two more to the tally last month. With this latest killing, the rhino death toll in the state has gone up to 20. That's an awful statistic for Assam that is the last home for the Indian rhino in India.
Rhinos in Kaziranga National Park in India
Kaziranga National Park (60 miles from Jorhat in Assam) in Assam contains more than half to two thirds of all the one-horned Indian rhinoceroses that remain in the wild (1,200 animals). The number of rhinos grew from 366 in 1966 to 1,080 in 1984 to 1,500 in 2000. Few visitors leave the park with having seen a rhino. Kazirnaga is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled between the Brahmaputra River and the Mikir Hills, with the Himalayas in the distance, Kazirnaga covers 430 square kilometers (260 square miles) and is located on a long, spongy flood plain of the Brahmaputra. It is primarily open country, which gives visitors a good opportunity to see wildlife, and covered with elephant grass, up to ten feet tall, and swampy ground fed by numerous creeks.
Jessica Frei wrote on the Save the Rhinos website: "A large population of greater one-horned rhinos is found in Assam, India, which is a result of years of impactful conservation in the state. Started in the early 90s, conservation in Kaziranga was affirmed as a Proposed Reserve Forest in the year 1905. The journey of Kaziranga started from there and took many positive turns and twists. It was crowned as a Wildlife Sanctuary in the year 1950 and was accredited as a National park in the year 1974. UNESCO confirmed Kaziranga National Park as a World Heritage Site in December 1985. During this journey, Kaziranga faced many challenges, overcame various issues and stood as one of the remarkable wildlife conservations in India. [Source: Jessica Frei, Save the Rhinos, December 2013]
"The rhino census passed out by Kaziranga National Park in March 2013 (done every year), found an increase in the number of one-horned rhinos. According to them, the figure comes out as 2,329, which is an increase from the last year's figure of 2,290. Apart from Kaziranga National Park, these wild animals are even found in various others wildlife safety areas in Assam. The total number of one-horned rhinos in Assam stands at 2,544 according to state wildlife officials.
Rhinos in Nepal
Nepal's protected forests were estimated by a census in 2011 to be home to more than 500 rhinos, most of them in Chitwan National Park, about 120km (75 miles) south-west of the capital Kathmandu. Nepal faced a serious problem of rhino poaching about 10 years ago when the country was affected by civil war between government forces and Maoist rebels. [Source: BBC, October 7, 2013 ^^]
In 2002, about 37 rhinos were killed by poachers, triggering grave concern over the future of one-horned rhinos. Their population dropped from an estimated 612 in 2000 to less than 375 in 2005. But numbers have increased to more than 500 after a series of anti-poaching measures were taken by the authorities. ^^
Rhinos are pictured on the back of very Nepalese 100 rupee note. Medicines made from rhino urine are used on ear infections , asthma, and tuberculosis. Rhino dung is smoked in a pipe to cure fever. "Nepali villagers," Eric Dinerstein wrote in Smithsonian magazine "seem uninterested in the horn but will pay good money for high-test urine." [Source: Heimanta Raj Mishra and Smithsonian, September 1987]
The rhino population of Nepal has increased from 95 in 1960s, to 260 in 1975 to 360 in 1986 to 600 in the early 2000s, about a fifth of the world's total. Most lives in Chitawan and Bardiya National Parks. Each year a land rovers and jeeps are charged by belligerent rhinos in Chitawan National Park and a couple of people get trampled or gored.
Rhinos in Royal Chitawan National Nepal
Royal Chitawan National Park (a short flight or a long bus ride from Kathmandu) is one of the best places in the world to see Asian one horned rhinoceros and Bengal tiger. There are over 300 rhinoceros and one of the largest populations of tigers in Asia. The treks through park's marshes and tall grass, where most animals are spotted, are usually done on the backs of elephants. Situated in the lowlands of the Inner Terai of Nepal, Chitawan (also known as Chitwan at Chitaun) is Nepal's first and most famous national park. Covering an area of about 500 square miles and formerly a royal hunting ground, the park consists of floodplains, low hills and forests of kapok, acacia and sisam trees.
Because of the fertile soil and high water table, the grasses in Chitawan National Park grows ups to 25 feet high. In January, the grasses are often cut and burned off.A few weeks later the landscape is covered by tender shoots that feed large herds of chital and hog deer as well as rhinos. A month after the fires the grass is knee high, providing enough cover for tigers to stalk their prey. By April the grasses reach an elephant's eye.
The control of poaching and cattle grazing inside Chitawan by the Nepalese Army has been one of the main reasons for the animal's return. Soldiers are given orders to shoot poachers on sight Poachers that are caught are sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined 100,000 rupees (around $1,500). Even so rhinos continue to be poached Rhinos in Nepal are also accidently electrocuted and poisoned. Some are swept away by monsoon rains and drown while they wallow in the mud.
The program to save rhinos has been so successful there is now an overpopulation of rhinos in Chitawan National Park are rhinos are being relocated . A new rhino population was established Bardiya to prevent against inbreeding and susceptibility to an epidemic.
Javan Rhinoceros: the World's Rarest Rhino
The Javan rhinoceros is slightly smaller than the Indian rhino and a little bit larger than the Sumatran rhino. Like the closely related Indian rhinoceros, the Javan rhinoceros has a single horn. Its distinguishing features are its 26-centimeters horn and a prominent fold in the hide of its front shoulder. More than almost any other creature living today it resembles the prehistoric mammals which dominated the earth millions of years ago. [Source: Diter and Mary Plage, National Geographic, June 1985]
The Javan rhino may be the rarest large mammal on Earth. There are thought to be only around 50 of the animals left in existence, all living in the wild in Ujung Kulon National Park. There are none in captivity. Reporting from Ujung Kulon, Arlina Arshad of AFP wrote: "The shy creature, whose folds of loose skin give it the appearance of wearing armour plating, once numbered in the thousands and roamed across Southeast Asia. Officials in Ujung Kulon believe there were 51 of the rhinos in 2012, including eight calves, basing their estimate on images captured by hidden cameras. They hope the true figure may be in the 70s and will have a new estimate once data for 2013 has been collated. [Source: Arlina Arshad, AFP, December 23, 2013]
The Javan rhinoceros's hairless, hazy gray skin falls into folds into the shoulder, back, and rump giving it an armored-like appearance. The Javan rhino's body length reaches up 3.2 meters (10 feet), including its head and stands 1.5 to 1.7 meters (4 feet, 10 inches to 5 feet 7 inches) at the shoulder. Adults are variously reported to weigh between 900 to 1,400 kilograms or 1,360 to 2,000 kilograms. Only males have true horns. Females have knobs or nothing that is visible.
Javan rhinoceros are relatively hairless except for their ears. The thick gray skin is divided into deep folds, making a saddle over the neck, with lumps or nodules, giving an armor-plated effect. The horn is relatively short.
Of all the rhino species, the least is known of the Javan Rhino. These animals prefer dense lowland rain forest, tall grass and reed beds that are plentiful with large floodplains and mud wallows. Javanese rhinos are very shy. They will flee their normal browsing grounds if they sense humans or animals such as oxen or deer coming near. Females give birth and raise their calves near the coast. The gestation period is 16 months. One calf is born and it is thought to saty with the mother for around two years. Sections of males home ranges usually extend to the coast. They are thought to be territorial, marking their territory with piles of dung and urine pools.
Largely nocturnal, Javan rhinos it eats a variety of plant but seem to prefer the shoots of young trees. If they can't reach the shoots on small trees they will often knock the tree down to get at them. The presence of rhino tracks on the beach led some scientists to speculate that the rhinos also eat salt-water mangroves.
Endangered Javan Rhinos
Javan rhinoceroses are among the rarest animals on earth. According to 2002 estimates, only about 60 remain, in Java (Indonesia) and Vietnam. Their original range included Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India and Nepal. By the 1930s the rhinoceros was nearly hunted to extinction in India, Burma, Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra for the supposed medical powers of its horn and blood. As of 2009, there are only 40 of them remaining in Ujung Kulon Conservation, Java, Indonesia. The last rhinoceros in Vietnam was reportedly killed in 2010. The are no Javanese rhino in any zoo, let alone a breeding pair.
Ujung Kulong Park is thought to be the only place where Javanese rhinoceros are found in Java. There they live in two isolated populations in areas of dense jungle, mangroves swamps and bamboo thickets. A 1993 World Wildlife Fund census found 47 rhinoceros in Ujung Kulon Park. In the 1980s there were around 60 of them. Dieter and Mary Plage spent a year in Ujong Kulon National Park trying to photograph the Java rhinoceros for National Geographic in the early 1980s. It took six months to get a clear a shot of a rhino. They had spotted the animal before but only tantalizing glimpses of an ear here or a tail there.
Java was thought to be the only place where the Javanese rhinos lived until they were discovered at Cat Loc Nature Reserve in Vietnam. In 1999, an extremely rare Javan rhinoceros was photographed in a swamp in Lam Dong Province southern Vietnam. At that time it was thought there were about 10 of these animals in Vietnam. In the 1990s the The World Wildlife Fund printed up bumper stickers encouraging people to save "our" rhino, but at that time few people had cars especially in regions where the animals were hunted.
Reasons for Endangered Javan Rhinos
Overhunting, poaching for the the rhino horn trade and encroachment from people have all been factors in the decline of the Javan rhinoceros. There are a large number of people living in the Ujung Kulon Park. In the old days people that lived around the park believed that no feast was complete unless some rhino delicacies were present. The rhinos are also suffering from a lack of food as Arenga palm have spread rapidly and crowded out plants the rhinos normally eat.
In 19th century there were tens of thousands of Javanese rhinoceros roaming Java. They were so numerous and caused so much damage to crops that rewards were offered by the government to kill them. Over 526 were killed in one two year period. In 1900 one hunter alone killed nine.
Ironically it may have been a tiger may have saved the Javanese rhino from extinction. After World War II a group of poachers went to Ujong Kulon with a plan to wipe out all of the park's rhino. When the poachers entered the peninsula one of them was killed by a tiger. Since local villagers wouldn't help them to kill the tiger (although would have helped with the rhinos) the poachers gave up and went back home.
Javan Rhino Clings to Survival in Last Forest Stronghold
The main threats to the Javan rhino is no longer poaching but food scarcity, illness and the risk of natural disasters in an archipelago where earthquakes and landslides are common, according to WWF Indonesia.
Oliver Milman wrote in The Guardian: "For most people in south-east Asia, the Javan rhino is effectively already a relic from the past. The stocky herbivore, that once roamed across Burma, Vietnam and Indonesia, is now a rarely glimpsed inhabitant of a single patch of thick forest on the island which gives it its name. No zoo in the world – even through captive breeding programmes – boasts a Javan rhino. Even people dedicated to protecting the world's rarest large mammal seldom catch sight of the species. "I've been to its habitat three times and got very excited just to see its footprints," says Kerry Crosbie, project director at the Asian Rhino Project, which funds the efforts of Indonesian rhino NGOs. "You have to be incredibly lucky to see one." [Source: Oliver Milman, The Guardian, September 7, 2012 ><]
"Camera traps and footprints in the Ujung Kulon national park, on western tip of Java, confirm that the rhino does still exist, albeit in perilously low numbers. There are 35 confirmed Javan rhinos in its last bastion – 22 males, 13 females and five juveniles. However, NGOs in the region estimate the total number could, in fact, be as high as 47. Australian conservationist Tim Flannery, who is a patron of the rhino project, adds: "They are majestic animals, they play a vital role in dispersing fruit and maintaining a healthy ecosystem and we are bloody lucky to have them. We once had a dozen rhino species and we're now down to five, so every last one should be treasured." ><
"What is not in doubt is sharp decline the species has suffered in the past century due to habitat loss and poaching. The cornered animal is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN, was confirmed extinct in Vietnam last year and some conservationists privately fret the species is doomed. Unlike their African cousins, poaching isn't considered an imminent threat to the Javan rhinos, with a combination of park rangers, who clear snares from the forest, and the sheer inaccessibility of the creatures ensuring no incidents of hunting in the last decade. ><
Challenges Saving the Javan Rhino
"There is potentially a low genetic pool as there are so few of them left," says Crosbie. "Generally, they produce just one calf every three years, and that's in prime breeding conditions. They have a 16-month gestation, which is an issue with raising their numbers." "The fact they are all in one place is better for breeding, unlike the Sumatran rhino, which is in fragmented pieces of forest. But it does mean all our eggs are in one basket. A catastrophic event, be it a disease or a tsunami, could wipe all of them out." Such a disaster in the region isn't merely theoretical. The 1883 eruption of nearby Krakatoa devastated the area, but with humans displaced and new vegetation blooming, the incident provided an ideal staging ground for the Javan rhino's last stand. [Source: Oliver Milman, The Guardian, September 7, 2012 ><]
"A second catastrophe won't be quite so helpful to the species. And there are further threats. The vegetation is changing, with the arenga palm tree spreading across the park, crowding out the rhino's food source. "We are currently working out the best eradication programme for the palm, because it is blanketing the forest," says Crosbie. "There's also a problem with banteng – a type of local cattle – which is increasing in number and in food competition with the rhino. We are looking to fence off the western portion of the park to keep out the livestock." ><
However, the continuation of such a tiny population hardly seems viable. Numbers on Java have risen from 25 animals in 1967, but it's a slow increase.Conservationists say they will have to decide whether to split the remaining animals to create another group elsewhere. Adhi Hariyadi, of WWF Indonesia, says: "Having one single population is not ideal from a conservation point of view. We will have to borrow some of the animals to create a second population somewhere, either in Sumatra or Java." ><
"But the numbers are so low that we will have to be very careful in doing this. If you get it wrong, you've badly damaged the species." "We are hopeful that we can get the numbers up. What gives us hope is the example of the Indian and white rhinos. The Indian rhino was down to 35 individuals and now there are several thousand. The white rhino had just four left in the wild and now they are up to tens of thousands. It can be done." "If a number of factors work out, I imagine we can get the numbers up by 20 percent in the next 30 to 40 years. But the increase won't be dramatic and it will require the next generation to take responsibility for the species." ><
Indonesia Builds Sanctuary to Save the Javan Rhino
Reporting from Ujung Kulon, Arlina Arshad of AFP wrote: "On a leaf-covered dirt path overlooking lush paddy fields in western Indonesia, the world's rarest rhino had left a trail of hoofprints in the soft mud and bite marks on foliage. For people seeking a glimpse of the Javan rhino -- revered in local folklore as Abah Gede, or the Great Father -- such small signs are likely to be the closest they get. But now conservationists are hoping that the country's first ever Javan rhino sanctuary can pull the animal back from the brink of extinction. [Source: Arlina Arshad, AFP, December 23, 2013]
The new sanctuary will encompass 5,100 hectares (12,600 acres) of lush rainforest, freshwater streams and mudholes in the park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park opened in March 2013. Park officials say that from hoofprints and bite marks, they believe nine rhinos have already wandered into new areas set aside for them. "It means our scheme to turn this sanctuary into a comfortable home for them is working," the park's habitat manager Rusdianto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, told AFP.
The rhinos were already living mainly in one corner of the park. But the new sanctuary has expanded the area suitable for them and relocated farmers who were living there to reduce the chances of animal-human conflict. An electric fence is also being constructed -- the final piece of work that needs to be completed -- to mark the boundary and prevent the rhinos from straying out of the sanctuary and humans from coming in. Park officials, who are government employees, have also been planting suitable food for the rhinos. During a recent visit by AFP, workers were seen clearing palm trees from the area and replacing them with shrubs and small trees. "We hope this sanctuary will hasten breeding and lead to more births of this treasured rare animal," park chief Moh Haryono told AFP. "In a more enclosed space, the male and female rhino will have more opportunities to frolic and mate freely."
Setting up the sanctuary, which is government-run but fully funded by US-based charity the International Rhino Foundation, has been no easy task. It was originally due to open in 2011 but was held up due to red tape, a common problem in the sprawling Indonesian archipelago, which has a huge and often inefficient bureaucracy. Work also stalled for a year due to protests from residents demanding compensation for farmland they had to give up, as well as from local animal activists who felt the use of heavy machinery to build the fence threatened the environment.
Despite the myriad threats, wildlife officials are hopeful the new sanctuary is a step in the right direction. They have also been heartened by strong support from the local community. Any effort to save the Great Father is applauded in an area where centuries-old beliefs persist and intertwine with the vast majority's Muslim faith. "We must do all we can to prevent the Javan rhino from becoming extinct," Suhaya, a 67-year-old farmer who goes by one name, told AFP. "Locals here believe that Abah Gede must not vanish from the face of the Earth, or disaster will befall us."

An update on my Aurora...I've designed a new stand. It has a similar shape to the old design, but the x-o will be mounted in the column, not in a plinth/box. Not only will this save time by not having another box to build, I think that being able to see the crossover by peeking around the back of the stand will be a cool touch.

Aseptic Technique and Injecting into Joint Cavities
This resource is part of the intermediate layer of the Scottish Infection Prevention and Control Education Pathway.
Complications associated with injecting into a sterile body cavity are rare, however the consequences of an infection of the joint can cause pain and suffering to the persons we care for, and is costly to the NHS. Providing a standardised approach to aseptic technique with clear indications of what is required, ensure the principles of asepsis are practiced during an invasive procedure.
Key content
This animation explains the procedure for steroid injection using aseptic technique but does not deal with examination or the injection technique associated with various joint cavities.
The animation scenario is based on 'Michelle' attending her local GP surgery for a steroid injection in her knee following a sport-related injury. The animation follows the process from initial consultation to the actual procedure showcasing aseptic technique in practice.
Target audience
General practitioners, podiatrists, physiotherapists, rheumatologists and junior hospital doctors.

I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come... -Nichole Nordeman
It's been hard for me, in these past weeks since finding out I was pregnant, to write about much besides the physical realities of my life. I could give a thousand reasons for this – being ill makes me less coherent and less inclined to write; my mind is occupied with the details of this new thing; joy is much more difficult to encapsulate than sorrow – but none of them is sufficient, although the last comes closest to the deep truth.
I feel a need to step carefully in areas which had been familiar ground. So many of you still long for this blessing which has suddenly become mine; how do I write about it so that you understand my joy but know that I have not forgotten your pain? In this space I have quite often explored the theme of suffering but now I wonder if I am entitled to write about it any longer. Statements that were not objectionable when written by someone walking her own via dolorosa might become so when put forward by someone on the Easter side of that particular journey.
Perhaps you can see why I have writer's block?
But I must write about some things that have been on my mind for months, since I first announced my pregnancy here. I may not be able to write about them eloquently, but at any rate I must write about them.
When I posted that pregnancy announcement, not a few people told me, "Your faith has been rewarded!" I also found a couple of posts by other bloggers about me, writing that they had been frustrated by my refusal to seek testing and treatment, but now wondered about their own decisions since I had been vindicated by becoming pregnant with no intervention.
My reaction to the above responses is that oh, good heavens, it is so much more complicated than that.
I was as surprised by my pregnancy as all of you were, if not more so. When that second line appeared I felt raw gratitude, but no sense that I had finally gotten what I deserved. I continue to believe, as I wrote here, that every blessing comes more swiftly than we deserve it. And although in moments of petulance I have sometimes thought that I deserved motherhood, the reality of carrying this tiny beloved one makes me utterly sure that I do not. It is, like Christ Himself, pure gift.
The fact that I do not believe I deserve this is part of the reason I do not believe this pregnancy is a reward for my faith. Another part is that I have a much more realistic idea of how much faith I have (or, more accurately, do not have) than many of you appear to. You flatter me far, far too much.
The third part of the reason is not exactly quantifiable. In word form, it comes out something like this: It's just not like that.
Through two-and-a-half years of waiting, I prayed a lot, and listened a lot, and on numerous occasions received much solace from doing so. However, I never received any assurance that I would eventually become pregnant. (Friends and family members saying "I know it will happen to you" does not count.) I don't believe it is impossible to receive that kind of assurance, and in fact I think I did receive some assurance that Bryan and I would eventually have children of our own. (By which I mean children to parent, not biological children.) But I never had a moment where I knew that I would get pregnant. Even when I was arguing with God about the no-testing thing, I never got a "don't worry, you will get pregnant anyway" from Him. It was always simply "Wait."
So through those two-and-a-half years, although I prayed every day that God would send us a baby, I never knew which way he would answer my prayer. I only knew he would answer, for God does not say "wait" for no reason. The fact that he answered with a pregnancy is incidental, I think, in comparison to the truth that He Answered. I have no doubt that if I were holding an adopted child in my arms right now, I would feel just as much joy in that truth.
Do I think that just waiting, not seeking medical intervention, is the path God has marked out for every couple struggling with fertility issues? Emphatically, no. It just happened to be the path he had marked for us. It is up to every couple to discern which of many (morally licit) paths God has marked out for them. This one happened to be ours, and as such I am grateful for it because it brought us exactly what we needed, which has been in times past and will be in times to come countless things, many of which we could never imagine for ourselves. Many of those things have been (and hopefully, will continue to be) documented here.
Do we deserve this, the gift of the little one whose ten tiny fingers we saw waving at us on the ultrasound screen this afternoon, whose profile I already find heartbreakingly beautiful? Of course not. But I think the gift is all the more valuable because of that.

They can add classic touches for the interior and be appropriate to install in living room or any other rooms. With their excellent patterns, they unpredictably make beautiful aesthetic appeal come to the surface. Moreover, when these lace curtains are designed in double rod style and combined with any patterned or colored curtains, they will present something WOW!

SACRAMENTO Calif. (Reuters) - California's two-year colleges would be able to offer baccalaureate degrees under a law signed by Democratic Governor Jerry Brown, who also rejected extra funding for the state's strapped university systems.
The law, a pilot program approved Sunday by Brown along with other education-related measures, would allow 15 community colleges to expand programs in job-related fields such as automobile mechanics and dental hygiene to four-year bachelor's degrees from two-year associate's degrees.
The change is a response to employer concerns that workers in numerous technical fields need to be better educated. State Senator Marty Block, a Democrat from San Diego, called the measure a "game-changer" in a state where many students cannot afford tuition at four-year universities.
In another closely watched measure, the governor on Saturday used his line-item veto on a budget provision that would have increased funding for the state's two university systems by $100 million.
The funds, to shore up aging infrastructure at the universities, had originally been included in a budget deal with the legislature but only if tax revenues came in higher than expected.
When property taxes did not exceed expectations, the legislature appropriated the money anyway, prompting a rebuke from Brown, who has steered a fiscally moderate course since taking office in 2011 amid ongoing financial troubles for the state.
"We are nearly one quarter into the fiscal year now and we
should not commit additional general fund monies of this magnitude when we are facing unanticipated costs such as fighting the state's extreme wildfires," he said.
State Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, a Democrat from San Diego, said she was disappointed by the governor's veto and argued that the state could afford the appropriation to the University of California system and the related California State University.
"Given California's continued economic rebound, we disagree with denying this funding simply because the money involved comes from Pot B instead of Pot A," Atkins said. "The Assembly will continue to make investing in UC, CSU and their students a priority in the upcoming budget process."

When and how did I watch this?
February 7th, 2016, on a friend's PLEX account.
Had I seen this film already?
What did I know about the movie before watching it?
This is the highest ranking Coen brothers movie on the IMDb Top 250. After Fargo and No Country for Old Men, I was hoping for something more refreshing.
What do I know about it now?
What a waste of time. I turned it off an hour into it, as soon as some girl turned around for a pointless full frontal. I was never engaged, though I found Lebowski himself endearing at times. His main cohort (Goodman), while memorable, was annoying and crass above the point of being humorous. Everything about it felt farcical and useless, which might have been intentional, but there was nothing redeeming about the wandering ways of this film. F-bombs litter the whole thing, almost as if the Coen brothers had nothing better to write. What a disappointment.
What are some themes in the film?
I have no idea. It's a brain-dead film.
Did this affect me personally?
It has that meme moment in the first 15 minutes.
Yeah, that one. He also said something to the effect of "I did not know that." That made me laugh.
Why is this ranked #145?
Coen brothers, big name cast and lots of shenanigans. That's about it.
Did my wife watch/like it?
She was in the same room, and was quite annoyed with the whole thing without even watching it.
Would I watch it again?
Would I recommend it to a friend?
I'm sure my friends have seen this and love it. You're allowed to enjoy movies, but this is kind of like eating a cup of dirt and telling everyone it's good because it has gummy worms in it.
Does it deserve to be on this list as one of the greatest films of all time?
No. I'm not certain why it's on this list, nor why it's ranked so high. Is this REALLY better than The Wizard of Oz, Shutter Island, and Dial M for Murder, among countless others? Let me answer that for you: it's not.

In less than week, I will give a paper at the Newberry Library. This paper in question is not ready. I know it will be, but it is not now. More tinkering to do.
The paper I will give Saturday looks at the Chicago Sisters of Mercy, their charism, and education ministry in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Basically from when they set up shop in Chicago in 1846 to the decade after Amalgamation (1929). I enjoy this period in women's history and American Catholic history. The nineteenth century proper and the Progressive Era are my history touchstones. Since I took on the Mercy history project, I have found myself in the twentieth century much more. The fifties, sixties, and seventies in particular are exciting decades to study for Catholic women's history right now, which throws the traditional American women's history narrative a curve ball. (Did I just use a sports metaphor? I think my students' writing is getting to me.)
I am teaching a US history survey this semester and over the last couple weeks we have explored the fifties and sixties, first in consumer culture, then Civil Rights Movement, and lately the Student Movement. This week we will tackle second-wave feminism and the women's liberation movement. Should be interesting. I fear I will spend more time correcting the historical narrative provided by the course textbook. If you need any indication of what I am up against, here's this little nugget from the textbook:
Betty Friedan, a forty-two-year-old mother of three from Peoria, Illinois, led the mainstream of the women's movement.
There's more, but that is enough. There is nothing "wrong" about that sentence, but it is hardly the whole story. Yes, Friedan was from Peoria, but she wasn't living there when she wrote The Feminine Mystique. Yes, she was a mother of three, but that wasn't the sum of who she was. Yes, was a leader of the mainstream women's movement, but she wasn't the only one. I can see me now, droning on about what is missing from this passage and about the importance of understanding the full context of women's lives – not just the little snippets we get in the textbook. (I better not go on too much, we are already behind and we are supposed to get to the 1980s before we are all said and done.)
Why does the context and the nuances of history matter? Everyday, there is a story about what we as a society don't know about the past. My students have holes the size of a Mac Truck in their understanding of American history and one semester won't do nearly enough to make up for that. (It will help, Gosh Darn it! It has to.) As I think about my presentation on Saturday, I hope that I relate the correct and full history, as I provide just a snippet of the larger whole Chicago Mercy history.
There is more I could say, but really, the tinkering on my paper won't take care of itself.

Usually the dynamic people love all kind of actions, adventures, activities. They like to move a lot and do not stick in one place too much.
They are curious, want to see and discover many things. They love all that suppose to show or generate action.In case that their dynamic personality will dominate the design of their house then we will not be surprised if we notice such kind of armchair in their house.
It is an armchair that looks aggressive and we cannot associate it with a quiet, static atmosphere. It will definitely impress everyone who will see it and make them want to sit on it.
Its shape looks like a bomb. It fits to a nice atmosphere just between friends where "explosive" subjects can be shared. The fact that, we can sit on a "bomb" make us looks untouchable and destructive.

Growing up in an Italian-American family in Washington, DC, and later New York City, Olivia was always encouraged to embrace her individuality and pursue her passions, which gave her a strong sense of independence. Her love for music began at a young age with musical theater, but she found her true musical home in high school, when she would sit in at late-night R&B and jazz jam sessions in Manhattan.
After high school, Olivia studied jazz, singing and songwriting at USC, which led her to finding her own voice as a confident and soulfulartist. In her writing, she draws from poetry and literature along with music from the past and present. With a sound that reflects old-school artists, current sounds, and bits and pieces of life, Olivia's voice carries a unique perspective that transcends any era.
Olivia has played at various venues in Los Angeles as a solo artist as well as the lead vocalist of the all-female neo-soul group MOTHER, and has also sung with big bands and has recorded lead and background vocals for several acts around the Los Angeles area. Olivia has studied under LA-based musicians Sara Gazarek, Patrice Rushen, and Jeffrey Allen, among others.

Kurdish opposition groups said that Iranian missiles struck a Kurdish camp in northern Iraq, targeting Iranian Kurds and the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI), a group that opposes the Iranian regime. According to the Koya municipal department of health in a nearby city at least five Kurds were killed and 30 wounded in the attack. A headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDP-I), a separate opposition group, was also struck inside Koya where dozens were reported killed and injured. This is the first missile attack by Iran of its kind against Kurds in Iraq and the largest attack by Iran against Kurdish groups since 1996. The Kurdish opposition groups have called on the international community to protest Iran's attack.

Stats/Medawar at Mansfield Rd, 20 overs.
And so to the old lady of Oxford amateur cricket, the Jack Cox Interdepartmental Tournament. For those unfamiliar, departments from across the University enter a team and play each other in four groups before the class swots and class clowns are separated for the Plate and Cup knock-out section of proceedings. All played at the staff club and a great social opportunity for all involved, not to mention a chance to get some practice in on the artificial wicket. So, all that being the case, it was after a scorching day with clear skies and a light breeze that Bodley arrived at the club and looked up at the skies. The same sky that was now grey, cold, and drizzling. Skipper Neely won the toss, and elected to bat before it got too wet.
Neely and Shackleton – restored to opener and looking focused – walked out to kick things off. Today's opposition was the cryptically named Stats/Medawar, and they kept a tight line but immediately found that the increasingly wet pitch offered even more bounce than normal. Neely was unlucky to be out for seven after a reflex catch from the bowler, bringing Webb to the crease. A brisk partnership soon developed, though the bounce (this is important) was catching both batters out. Shackleton eventually departed for twenty nine, having top edged one that bounced a bit (there it is again), bringing Philipson out to play. Our Tim didn't waste any time getting his eye in and was quickly giving the fielders a good workout. Sadly he was undone in the eleventh over by a ball that, quite unexpectedly given the mixed bag from the bowler, bounced a bit on him and caught the top edge on its journey to the grateful keeper. A well made thirteen was much enjoyed by his team-mates though. This brought Jones out, and having taken advice from the well-set Webb the over was sensibly played out with a great swing to the first ball faced, which, due to prodigious bounce, top edged about twenty yards into the grey sky before being inexplicably dropped by the fielder. Webb succumbed shortly after for a stylish, and valuable, eighteen, which brought about the belated introduction of Bodley's very own Flintoff, Mr. McKeirnan of Marston. Leigh set about the bowling with scant regard for the bounce (did we mention the bounce? It was quite the most awful pitch to bat on). Whilst the fielding was tight and frustratingly well placed the score ticked along, the rain still falling, and Jones still swinging like Basie at the other end. The trampoline-like bounce (ahem, honest) did for Jones in the end, a top edge again flying through to the keeper, and another caught was chalked up for Stats. Burnett, sporting a Proteas hat that demanded an all-round contribution, was next in, and with a flick and a push joined Leigh in building the score to over a hundred. When Leigh finally fell for twenty one – caught and bowled – Triggs came out and played a most splendid cameo that included what was unanimously agreed to be the shot of the day. A good length ball, just outside off stump but likely to bounce prodigiously if left unattended was driven off the back foot down the ground for four. Well played! These two rattled off few more boundaries and ran for all they were worth, with the score ending up on a not too shabby 128-6. Given the rain and tricky conditions, we thought that was an ok score. But what did we know!
After a good deal more rain came down and a discussion about the chances of taking advantage of curry night at the club were ended without agreement, we strode out to defend our score. Unfortunately, no-one had told the Stats batsmen that the pitch was providing the bowlers with uneven and at times unexplained bounce, and that the conditions demanded watchful, old fashioned play. By the eleventh over three batsmen had retired with scores of thirty plus, numerous Bodley bowlers had been reduced to grumpy old men, and all had whites that would make your mother very angry indeed. It was a disappointing turn of events. With the score on 96-0 the first wicket fell, to the excellent Shackleton. Next up in the twelfth Neely got one to keep low and clean bowled another. The scoring rate was by now barely a run an over, and Bodley sensed an upset – only seven more overs and no boundaries, and victory would be assured. Well, with Triggs pulling things out of his closet of mystery balls, another wicket was taken in the fifteenth, with a sharp catch at mid-on from Shackleton. The momentum was with Bodley now. Next over, the sixteenth, and Neely charges in, hurls the thing down, and gets another bowled. 120-odd for 4 now, and only three and a bit more to go. A four brought things level, but the game was tight. Neely bowled the sixteenth over and a dot ball signalled intent to take things to the end. But then a single was pinched and reality hit home as Stats wrapped things up. It was by now very wet indeed and hands were quickly shaken, stumps gathered and then a sprint to the bar commenced.
A good game, with Bodley just not getting enough on the board and then succumbing to some powerful batting in conditions we never got to grips with. Did I mention the bounce though? It was all because of the bounce, honest. On a serious note, we have plenty more Jack Cox yet to play and encourage anyone who fancies a fun, social twenty-twenty match to get in touch, as we do seem to be struggling again this year for players. Next up are the charming Blenheim Park on Sunday at Blenheim Palace. All welcome - it's not a bad spot to watch the cricket.

Sometimes I feel a bit like whining about the fact that I can't go long arm anything while the "babysitter" is overseas. But then I check my UFO list and realize "to be quilted" is one of the shorter lists.
So for August, I'd like to work on making it the longest, while simultaneously clearing out the "awaiting binding" list. Then I'll have a clean slate when he gets back with plenty to choose from in the quilting queue.
That means my AYOLF goal is Christmas Stars, and the table runners that are piling up. Christmas Stars definitely counts as something old, as it was started 2011.
Something new would be getting my website ready to launch. With my shiny new logo! I hope it will go painlessly, and all y'all will move right over with the blog reader of your choice. But it's technology, and it's me, so...

From listing questions, to who ends up actually paying the real estate agent for his/her work, this page goes over the fundamentals of real estate to ensure you have a set of facts to work with as you embark on the process of buying or selling your home.
Q) Who pays the Real Estate Agents?
A) The Seller has a written contract with his Listing Agent that determines the percentage of sale price paid to the Listing Agent. The second clause after that determines how much of that he/she splits with the Agent bringing the Buyer. So short answer: The Seller. The percentage varies, but it is generally somewhere between 4-7% of purchase price. The Agent then splits a portion of his/her gross commission with his Brokerage, and then pays taxes on the net amount.
Someone with a Broker's License has to undergo additional education, and testing. One can have a Broker's license, without acting as a Broker. It takes 5 years of active real estate experience, or like experience to qualify to take the Broker's Exam.

So I went to check out the exhibition down in the Atrium. The work is by a BFA student who requested people write love letters to anyone they wanted (even aliens). As I left, I wrote a love letter to my Future Children and chose a letter off the wall to take with me. And what a sweet letter it is! I've got a picture, read it and make your mind up about it.

Joe Calzaghe dismisses talk of return to ring
Rumours surround a rematch with Bernard Hopkins, but despite tentative talks the Welshman says he has no desire for a comeback
Joe Calzaghe has denied claims that he is set to come out of retirement for a rematch with Bernard Hopkins. Calzaghe, the undefeated world super-middleweight and light-heavyweight champion, ended his boxing career last February after outpointing Roy Jones Jr to take his unbeaten record to 46 fights.
Last month, Richard Schaefer, the Golden Boy chief executive, claimed Calzaghe was keen on a return to the ring to face Hopkins, whom he beat on a split decision in the penultimate fight of his career.
The 38-year-old Welshman admits he held tentative talks over a fight against the controversial American, but now claims that he no longer has the fire to justify a comeback.

Increasingly more singles, functioning parents and also senior people are demanding better benefit when it concerns acquiring their dishes.
Though the future looks intense for the food-service market generally, there are no guarantees in this organisation. Even the most successful drivers will tell you this isn ' t a " get rich fast " market. It 's more like a " work hard and earn a living " industry.
A difficult fact is that many dining establishments stop working during their first year, often as a result of an absence of planning. But that doesn ' t imply your food-service service has to be an extremely complex procedure. Actually, the much more structured you could make it, the far better your possibilities for success. Paul Mangiamele, president and Chief Executive Officer of Bennigan's, says, "Although we all enjoy it, this organisation is really tough. It's a wonderful business, an excellent service, a rewarding company. It's a rewarding organisation. But there are a thousand relocating components, as well as you need to be well-informed of all of them."
To assist you start, we have actually assembled this complete, yet easy-to-digest, overview of starting your very own food organisation. Whether your dream is to open a conventional American restaurant, a New York-style restaurants, a Chinese buffet, a delicatessens for active lunch-goers or a local coffeehouse/hang-out spot, start your service research study below.
Target audience for Bell California
No solitary food-service operation has universal appeal. This is a fact that lots of newer entrepreneurs have trouble approving, but the fact is that you will certainly never ever capture 100 percent of the market. When you aim to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. So concentrate on the 5 or 10 percent of the market that you can get, and also ignore the rest.
With that said said, who is consuming at dining establishments? Let 's check out the primary market classifications of food-service business clients:
- Generation Y. This generation, also identified the " millennial generation, " the " echo " or the " boomlet " generation, consists of those born in between 1980 and 2000. Generation Y is one of the most ethnically diverse generation yet as well as is greater than three times the dimension of generation X. They are a prime target for a food-service company. Members of Generation Y opt for fast-food and quick-service things. Concerning 25 percent of their restaurant check outs are to hamburger franchise business, follow by pizza dining establishments at 12 percent.
- Generation X. Generation X is a label put on those who were birthed between 1965 as well as 1980. This group is known for solid household values. While earlier generations strove to do better monetarily than their parents, Gen Xers are more probable to focus on their partnership with their kids. They are concerned with worth, and they prefer quick-service restaurants and midscale procedures that provide all-you-can-eat buffet as well as buffets. To appeal to this market group, use a comfortable atmosphere that focuses on value as well as ambience.
- Child boomers. Birthed between 1946 and 1964, infant boomers make up the biggest section of the U.S. population. Noticeable in this generation are upscale professionals that can afford to check out high end restaurants as well as invest money freely. During the 1980s, they were the major client team for upscale, stylish dining establishments. In the 1990s, numerous child boomer were two-income families with kids. Today, those on the leading edge of the boomer generation are ending up being grandparents, making them a target of dining establishments that supply a family-friendly environment and also those that give an upscale, formal eating experience.
- Empty nesters. This team contains people in the age array in between the high end of the infant boomers and also seniors (people in their very early 50s to concerning age 64). Empty nesters generally have actually grown kids who no more live in the house, and also their rankings will certainly continue to increase as the child boomers grow older and also their kids leave residence. With one of the most optional income as well as the highest per-capita income of all the generations, this group usually sees high end dining establishments. They are less worried about price as well as are much more focused on exceptional service and also exceptional food. Appeal to this team with sophisticated surroundings as well as an advanced environment.
- Seniors. The elderly market covers the huge age of people age 65 as well as older. Normally, most of seniors get on fixed incomes and also could seldom have the ability to afford upscale dining establishments often, so they have the tendency to go to family-style restaurants that provide excellent service and also sensible prices. " Younger " seniors are most likely to be a lot more active as well as have more non reusable revenue than " older " seniors, whose wellness might be declining. Seniors usually value restaurants that supply early-bird specials as well as elderly food selections with lower rates as well as smaller sections, because their cravings are less hearty than those of more youthful individuals.
Dining Establishment Service Styles for Bell CA
Restaurants are identified right into 3 main groups: quick-service, midscale and also high end. Quick-service dining establishments are likewise called snack bar.
