Food distributed under false labeling by the M.E.G.A Trade group appeared on supermarket shelves all over country but it is not thought that any of the items passed their sell-by dates presented a danger to consumers, said national daily Népszabadság on Friday.
Many of the foodstuffs were bio, wellness and diabetic products bought up at a discount in Germany as they were nearing the end of their shelf lives and then redistributed with false sell-by dates for a handsome profit in Hungary, said the paper. All products sold to the 1,200 retailers nationwide by M.E.G.A Trade have since been removed from shelves, costing each retailer tens of millions of forints.
Affected retailers included CBA, Tesco, Auchan, Spar and Drogerie Markt. One loophole is that food can travel freely between EU countries without documents proving their place of origin, said Péter Biács, head of the Hungarian Food Industry Association. And according to a Brussels regulation passed in 2002 under certain controls it is also possible to change packaging and extend the sell-by date as long as doing so does not pose a health risk, said the paper.
In the wake of the scandal, Hungary's government announced on Thursday that the office responsible for food safety will be reorganized, all activities will be under one roof at the ministry of agriculture and stricter restrictions will be introduced. The firms involved in the fraud were named and shamed on Thursday by Pest County Animal and Food Safety Authority. Food-safety officials started an operation in late November to examine warehouses on the outskirts of Budapest.
The five Hungarian-registered companies operating under "M.E.G.A Trade" had Ukrainian, Israeli, Austrian and Hungarian backers, said the Authority's head, György Virsinger. Over 100 tons of goods, about 400 different commodities, examined in warehouses in Törökbálint were found to have had their packaging and accompanying documents manipulated, he said.

3 Google Hummingbird content tips [VIDEO]
How to write an Editorial Brief Click for free download
Google's new Hummingbird algorithm was officially unveiled last month and has content marketers pretty excited about the direction search is taking.
If it lives up to the hype, Hummingbird is going to do a better job of understanding what we mean when we type in a search query and will go find results that more closely match the whole query, and not just few keywords.
This should be great news for sites that create and publish lots of regular, high quality content. As Google gets better at drilling into search queries and digging out more relevant results, that super specific page you created will be more likely to get found.
Right now, our three Hummingbird tips are:
1) create content that answers questions. More search queries are phrased as questions these days, especially on mobile devices, which is the big growth area;
2) get more specific with your content. Look at the landing pages you've already created and think about how you could deep dive into some of the topics they mention;
And 3) don't go crazy. Every time Google changes something it feels like the end of the world as we know it. Everything in moderation is a great motto for your content marketing strategy.

text: Jonathan Wright - August 22, 2016 Massive Montana Fish Kill (Enterprise photo by Hunter D'Antuono) Alarming news from the American West this week — reported by Reuters and the Associated Press, a 186 mile stretch of the Yellowstone River in Montana and it's tributaries have been closed by officials after a massive fish-kill that is being attributed to an aquatic parasite. Over 4,000 Mountain Whitefish and a smaller, undetermined number of trout have been found dead.As quoted from the Livingston Enterprise, "Test results from samples sent to the U.S. and Wildlife Service Fish Health Center in Bozeman show the catalyst for this fish kill to be Proliferative Kidney Disease — one of the most serious diseases to impact whitefish and trout. The disease, caused by a microscopic parasite, is known to occur in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. It has been documented previously in only two isolated locations in Montana over the past 20 years. Recent outbreaks have occurred in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. In trout, research has shown this disease to have the potential to cause 20 to 100 percent mortality. The parasite does not pose a risk to humans.""The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is implementing an immediate closure of all water-based recreation (fishing, wading, floating, tubing, boating, etc.) on the Yellowstone River and its tributaries from Yellowstone National Park's northern boundary at Gardiner to the Highway 212 bridge in Laurel, according to an FWP news release." Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae — the organism that causes Proliferative Kidney Disease in Whitefish and trout — is a myxozoan parasite of salmonid fishes. The intention of the restriction on activities is intended to curb the potential spread of the organisms on contaminated items.In the 1990's in Colorado, another related piscine disorder — Whirling Disease — was spread throughout waterways via myxosporean parasites that attached themselves to felt soled wading boots used by traveling fishermen.Toxic chemical spills are generally thought to be the more common cause of large fish mortality events, but pathogenic organisms are capable of moving through aquatic environments with surprising speed as well. The outbreak has not escaped the attention of state regulatory agencies."This kill is unprecedented in magnitude. We haven't seen something like this in Montana," Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokeswoman Andrea Jones said in Associated Press coverage of the issue. While biologists are monitoring the environmental impacts, elected officials are weighing the potential economic ones — and the costs of a lack of response. AP coverage again reports,"A threat to the health of Montana's fish populations is a threat to Montana's entire outdoor economy and the tens of thousands of jobs it sustains," said Gov. Steve Bullock, noting that Montana's outdoor recreation economy is responsible for more than 64,000 Montana jobs and nearly $6 billion in yearly economic activity. "We must be guided by science. Our state cannot afford this infectious disease to spread to other streams and rivers and it's my responsibility to do everything we can to stop this threat in its tracks and protect Montana jobs and livelihoods."The closure could potentially last for the remainder of the season if river water temperatures don't cool, which would reduce stress on fish populations. Currently extending to hundreds of miles of waterways that feed into the Yellowstone, including the Boulder, Shields and Stillwater rivers, FWP will continue to monitor the river and will lift the closure when stream conditions improve and fish mortality ceases.

This discovery aimed to define a common service pattern for housing repairs and understand barriers to adoption of digital repairs services. The project also explored which service elements are best suited to self-serve, how best to use technology to improve the service and how a service pattern can be mapped to the Housing Associations' Charitable Trust (HACT) repairs data standard.
There are 1.6 million socially rented properties in England. Councils are responsible for providing repairs to those properties. For most organisations, this is a high volume service which generates large numbers of phone calls to the council. Digitising the housing repairs reporting service could provide tangible savings from channel shift, however, even where online channels exist take up with users tends to be relatively low.
The project aimed to produce a reusable kit to accelerate the development of digital repairs services across the public sector.
Project outputs
All Local Digital Fund Discovery projects were asked to provide the following information at completion:
- User research report
- Benefits case
- Recommendations for next steps
In April 2019, the project team submitted the following documents:
- Discovery presentation (PDF, 5.7MB)
- Discovery report (PDF, 3.8MB)
- Benefits input template calculator (XLSX, 354kb)
If you cannot access these documents, please contact the Local Digital team to receive them in an alternative format.
Each project was assessed using these lenses by the Local Digital Collaboration Unit. We have provided feedback directly to the project teams and this is a summary of what we shared with them.
It aims to be constructive for both the project team and any other organisation wishing to learn about the project or make use of the work done.
- The project team undertook a number of different user research methodologies (interviews, call monitoring and online surveys) and produced 8 personas. Consolidating these personas further would make them more useful for the wider local authority sector and provide better evidence for the recommendations made. The team should also add motivations, behaviours and digital literacy information where it has been missed out.
- The project carried out best practice research, external consultation and website analysis to understand how housing repairs services are being delivered by other organisations. Providing more information on how this research was carried out and standards against which websites were assessed would increase the robustness of this analysis.
- The project researched pain points faced by users and the back office staff in service delivery. Joint analysis of these user groups and key stakeholders (for example contractors and contact centre staff) could provide a better overview of shared pain points, reasons for them, and opportunities to improve.
- The project considered various options to take forward and recommended exploration of 'leaks' in an Alpha. Additional data on the most common repair types could provide greater confidence that this repair type will generate the biggest benefits and have lasting impact on users and members of staff.
- The project team produced detailed gross benefits data, which shows in depth consideration of how efficiency benefits in the process could be quantified. In a future phase, costs for developing and running an MVP solution should be included as part of the financial and economic assessment together with details of any anticipated benefits.
- The team produced a benefits calculator tool which is now available for reuse by other organisations. It is a good way to allow others to test the potential benefits that this project could bring to housing repairs services.

Missouri Journalism Master's Graduate Chris Hamby Earns Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting
Two Alumni Share Washington Post-The Guardian U.S. Prize for Public Service
By Gwen Girsdansky
Master's Student
Columbia, Mo. (April 21, 2014) – An alumnus of the Missouri School of Journalism has been awarded a 2014 Pulitzer Prize, the highest honor given for U.S. journalism.
Chris Hamby, MA '10, received the medal in the investigative reporting category for "Breathless and Burdened," a series that exposed the systematic denial of benefits for coal workers with black lung disease.
In addition, two alumni, Jeff Leen, MA '82, and Steven Rich, MA '13, were members of The Washington Post team led by Bart Gellman that shared the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service with a team from The Guardian U.S. They covered the NSA surveillance reports based on the leaks of Edward Snowden.
The citation for the "Breathless and Burdened" series cites Hamby "for his reports on how some lawyers and doctors rigged a system to deny benefits to coal miners stricken with black lung disease, resulting in remedial legislative efforts."
The series grew, Hamby said, out of a previous Center for Public Integrity investigation into the increasing number of black lung cases. However, it became apparent that there was also a story about how the coal miners with the disease, or their widows, were being systematically denied benefits. Thus started a yearlong investigation that focused on the law firm Jackson Kelly, which serves the coal industry, and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, one of the most respected hospitals in the country.
Hamby used the skills he learned at the Missouri School of Journalism and the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR, headquartered at the School) to build databases from thousands of legal documents. These showed that Jackson Kelly was withholding documents that would have proven the coal miners had black lung disease and were entitled to benefits. Hamby also was able to show that the firm's lawyers were not denying they had the documents, but were arguing time and time again they were allowed to.
At the beginning, the situation was complex and complicated.
"It's like a puzzle, and you don't realize that there's a missing piece," Hamby said.
But eventually he discovered pieces were missing and where to find them. Hamby became well-versed in the legal and medical system to understand the dynamics at play and translate them into laymen's terms for readers. In addition, Hamby also worked to move away from "he said-she said" reporting that can be popular in journalism and forces readers to determine who is right. Although time consuming, Hamby was able to present the information as fact with limited attribution because he was hearing the same information from different sources so frequently, and documents and data painted a clear picture.
"I think our job is to determine, as close as we can, what is true," Hamby said.
However, Hamby also realized there needed to be a human component to his work. The first installment focused on the story of Gary Fox, a coal miner from West Virginia, who had died three years before the investigation began.
"His widow and daughter were really brave and forthcoming in such a horrible situation," he said.
The combination of data and anecdotes created compelling narratives that led to a congressman calling for a federal investigation into black lung benefits and the suspension of Johns Hopkins' black lung program.
Hamby's winning series of reports, "Breathless and Burdened," have been compiled in a Reynolds Journalism Institute Digital Newsbook produced by RJI's technology pioneer Roger Fidler.
In mid-April, days after winning his Pulitzer, Hamby accepted a new position with the BuzzFeed investigative unit. The media website, best known for promoting viral content, introduced an investigative unit in fall 2013. Hamby said he looks forward to continuing probing into the intersection of vulnerable populations and powerful organizations.
Hamby's Pulitzer win follows a string of top awards earned while a student at the School. He received first place in the Best Breaking News Story category in the 2011 Missouri Press Association's Better Newspaper Contest. The judges said of "Key Witness Recants in Ryan Ferguson Case," published in the Columbia Missourian, "a lot of good work here, pulling together a nine-year-old case and getting all of the facts into the context of the convicted man's new claims. Nicely done."
Hamby was the 2009 Society of Professional Journalists National Mark of Excellence Award winner in the non-fiction magazine article category. The story, "Keeper of the Court," was published in Vox Magazine. His master's project, "The Ryan Ferguson Case: An Examination of a Strange Murder and Conviction," was an investigation of a wrongful conviction for a notorious murder. This work later ran as a two-part series in The Kansas City Star, and the subject of the stories won his freedom in 2013.
Databases Fuel Pulitzer Win by Washington Post and The Guardian U.S.
Much like Hamby's investigation, the Washington Post and The Guardian U.S.'s coverage of National Security Agency spying was heavily reliant on documents provided by databases.
Two Missouri School of Journalism alumni were members of The Washington Post team led by Bart Gellman that shared the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service with a team from The Guardian U.S.: Jeff Leen, MA '82, the assistant managing editor of investigations, and Steven Rich, MA '13, database editor for investigations.
The citation for the Washington Post-The Guardian U.S. noted their "revelation of widespread secret surveillance by the National Security Agency, marked by authoritative and insightful reports that helped the public understand how the disclosures fit into the larger framework of national security."
Leen, who was the lead editor during the initial phase, said that this coverage was different from anything else he had done because it was at the intersection of breaking news and investigations.
"Usually with super complex stories with highly sensitive information, you have the time to sort it out, but we were also trying to break these stories as quickly as possible," Leen said.
He said that documents were often cryptic and since no one had heard of these systems before, they couldn't just turn to Google or Wikipedia to learn more.
Among the reporters who helped decipher the thousands of documents that were leaked was Rich, who had been an employee for about a month when the story broke. He was able to help determine how close the government was to developing a quantum computer and how the NSA was identifying users on what is supposed to be anonymous browsing.
Both Leen and Rich cited the necessity of teamwork to produce quality journalism. Those in the legal department determined which documents to publish. The graphics team added visual elements to help the readers.
"The best journalism is done in teams that are very unselfish," Rich said.
For Leen, this was the eighth Pulitzer Prize-winning team he has been a part of and said that this one was special because it was the Pulitzer for public service reporting.
"It's our highest mission," Leen said. "It makes it extra special. It's the entire newspaper doing great work for the public."
Leen received the Missouri Honor Medal for Distinguished Service in Journalism in 2012. As a master's student, Leen did a stint in the School's Washington reporting program where he covered Congress, the Supreme Court and federal agencies.
For Rich, the Pulitzer follows on the heels of another team recognition, the Local Accountability Reporting Award in the 2014 American Society of News Editors competition. Rich's master's project was on how journalists report on money in politics. He completed it while interning for Leen on the Post's investigations unit.

Shaffer Motorsports Readies For 45th Annual SCORE Baja 1000
(Ensenada, Baja California) Shaffer Motorsports is putting the final touches on their Class 4 racecar before heading south to compete in the 45th annual SCORE, Tecate Baja 1000. The course changes year to year from a loop race to a full run down the peninsula. This year it will start in Ensenada and zig zag down the peninsula covering 1,121.55 miles of beautiful yet brutal terrain before it reaches the finish line in La Paz. Adding to the already challenging course, Hurricane Paul did severe damage in Baja Sur when it hit landfall only a few weeks ago. The peninsula experienced flooding, washouts and damage due to high winds that has caused some re-routing of the course.
"I just returned from prerunning up to mile 350," said Mike Shaffer, "John Cantrell will run the middle section and Daniel Aeberli and Shawn Twitchell will bring it home. They are down prerunning the sections that were damaged right now." The Baja 1000 is such an arduous race, most teams use multiple drivers. Keeping the drivers fresh and alert is crucial but the pit crews are equally taxed on raceday. "We will be using BFG pits for fuel, Baja Pits as a back-up and will have a total of seven chase trucks with three team members on board strategically placed to support the car during the race. "We have a great group of dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers that help us out in the shop and at the races," said Mike, "They make it work, we couldn't accomplish this without them."
The team has been bitten by transmission problems in the past, it has been the weak spot on the car. In the aftermath of the Baja 500 where their hopes of a strong title run were dashed when the transmission failed, they stepped up to a Mendeola, S5 transaxle. The Mendeola is a stout, sequentially shifted, five speed transmission that should take care of any reliability issues in the future. "We didn't get to do a thorough test on the new transmission like we had hoped," said Mike, "But the S5 is a proven piece and the crew always does an excellent job prepping the car so we should be fine. It's going to fast, rough and fun, just how we like it!"

Film Festival to Feature Four Alumni Filmmakers
August 10, 2017
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – The third annual Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival (MNFF) will run from August 24-27, featuring more than 90 films from 15 countries. This year's offerings will include four films by Middlebury College alumni.
Festival producer Lloyd Komesar, who founded the event in 2015 as a way to showcase up-and-coming talent, says the festival received more than 350 submissions this year. "The buzz around this year's lineup continues to build," said Komesar. "Our exceptional contributions from women filmmakers are clearly one of the main reasons that people are excited. Beginning with Joan Kron's wonderful opening night film, we have stocked our lineup with thoroughly entertaining films."
|The image above is from Good Funk, a film by Adam Kritzer ′11 about three generations of Brooklyn neighbors.
The festival will mark the Vermont premiere of Good Funk, a film by Adam Kritzer '11, a part-time Burlington resident, at a screening in the Town Hall Theater, Friday, August 25, at 10:30 a.m. He served as writer, director, and producer of the feature narrative that follows three generations of Brooklyn neighbors as their lives intersect. Kritzer's work has screened at SXSW and Toronto International Film Festival, and Good Funk won last year's Spotlight Award at the Harlem International Film Festival.
Matt Lennon ′13, wrote, directed, and produced Dad's 50th Surprise Party, a dark comedy about two brothers who team up to finally one up their prankster dad for his 50th birthday. The 10-minute narrative film will be screened on Friday, August 25, at 1:30 p.m. at the National Bank of Middlebury Screening Room.
|Above is a scene from Dad's 50th Surprise Party, a film written, directed, and produced by Matt Lennon ′13.
Recent Middlebury graduate Sasha Whittle '17 will present a moving short documentary, The "F" Word, that explores failure in traditional academic institutions, and the pressures students face when grades often seem to be conflated with character. The screening will take place in Dana Auditorium, Saturday, August 26, at 10:30 a.m.
The festival will also screen 32 Pills: My Sister's Suicide produced by Beth Levison '91 on Saturday, August 26, at 1:30 p.m. in the Marquis Theater. This powerful feature documentary illustrates the immense impact of a sister's suicide on the surviving sibling.
With the exception of Lennon, the Middlebury College alumni filmmakers are planning to attend the festival and be on hand after the screenings to take questions from the audience.
The festival's opening night film, Take My Nose, Please, will help kick off the event on Thursday, August 24, at 7 p.m. at Middlebury's Town Hall Theater. The hilarious film looks at the role of comedy in examining the pressures on women to be attractive, and society's complicated relationship with plastic surgery. Director Joan Kron will speak with MNFF artistic director Jay Craven following the screening. The event is sold out but filmgoers may request to be on the wait list.
Following the conclusion of the festival, the top films–winners of the VTeddy award–will be sent on a screening tour to theaters throughout the region. The "New England Tour" is one of the distinguishing features of the young festival, says Komesar, and a way for the filmmakers to get added exposure for their work beyond their four days in Middlebury.
For more information, tickets, and descriptions of all the films to be screened at the festival, visit the MNFF website.

Imagine waking up and not being able to smile, eat or even blink. It's a terrifying thought, especially for a child. For many parents, a stroke might be the first thing that comes to mind; but that's not always the case. Now doctors are trying to spread the word.
Ten-year-old Ryan Ferrell can brighten a room with his smile. But lately, that smile has been tough to crack. Ryan has Bell's palsy, a term used to describe paralysis on one side of the face. While most of the 40,000 new cases a year are adults, neurologists say many parents are surprised to learn children can also be afflicted.
"I think many parents worry this is a stroke or some life-threatening occasion," said Dr. Michael Goldstein from the American Academy of Neurology.
That's because symptoms include a facial droop, twitching, pain behind the ear or the eye, dry mouth and difficulty tasting food. While the exact cause of Bell's palsy is not known in all cases, Dr. Goldstein says typically the cause is an inflammation of the nerve that goes from the brain to the face, caused by a virus.
It's a virus similar to the one that causes cold sores or the common cold. It can also be caused by illnesses such as Lyme disease, as it was in Ryan's case.
Dr Babak Azizzadeh is the founder of the Facial Paralysis Institute. He says the condition impacts patients physically and emotionally.
"Imagine how much kids make fun of other kids who have, you know, big ears or big noses or are a little overweight. Multiply that by ten or 100 when a kid can't smile," said Dr. Azizzadeh.
Sometimes doctors will prescribe anti-viral medication. About 85 percent of children recover completely. It takes about three-to-six-months to see significant improvement. That's a long wait when you're 10-years-old.
Many people with Bell's palsy recovery spontaneously. In some cases, surgery is required -- but only as a last resort. Dr. Goldstein says it's important to take your child to the doctor the instant you start to notice any symptoms.

Saturday Special for teachers by teachers
Today was a special day. Special for many reasons. Special because the world is full of dedicated teachers willing to give up their time to share their experience and expertise with others. Their willingness would not have come to anything if there wasn't anyone to give them a platform from which to shout. And all the shouting would not have come to any good if there wasn't anyone out there to listen.
So, Saturday, 28th of April, morning for some, evening for others, was special. A hundred or so educators sacrificed part of their weekend to listen to five dedicated females, Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto, Özge Karaoglu, Ann Mayeda, Penny Ur and Kate Cory-Wright, discuss "What do we know about language teaching and learning?".
I'm sure most, if not all, felt it was well worth their time. Were you there? What did you take away from the webinar? If you weren't, watch out for the next iTDi event!
We were missing some fast tweeps (Twitter users); I tried my best, but I was moderating at the same time. Here is a collection of the back-channelling going on. Many thanks to these back-channellers, the participants, the speakers, and all the organising team, including the generous Heike Philp of The Virtual Round Table fame.

Hi Chiew, I am sorry to have missed it. Penny Ur is somebody who I have been longing to hear. Thank you for a great post.ReplyDelete
Thank you Chiew! And thank you Marijana! If you are around and awake at 2 pm Japan time today (Sunday) send me a message and I might be able to satisfy your longing to hear Penny Ur speak :-) - ChuckReplyDelete

Thank you Chiew! I'd insist a lot on the previous medical check before starting any kind of physical exercise, specially, for people that haven't do it a long time ago. A lot of people tend to begin without taking precautions or asking for advise and instead of benefiting from exercise they get injured give it upReplyDelete

Boeing buys Liquid Robotics to boost autonomous maritime operations
Boeing has acquired autonomous maritime technology developer Liquid Robotics with the aim of growing its "seabed-to-space autonomous capabilities".
"With Liquid Robotics' innovative technology and Boeing's leading intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance solutions, we are helping our customers address maritime challenges in ways that make existing platforms smarter, missions safer and operations more efficient," said Leanne Caret, president and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space & Security.
In September 2014, Boeing and Liquid Robotics entered into a teaming agreement which resulted in the development of the Sensor Hosting Autonomous Remote Craft (SHARC), a version of Liquid Robotics' Wave Glider.
The Wave Glider was the first wave and solar-powered autonomous ocean robot. The robot has traveled more than 1 million nautical miles so far, Boeing said.
"This acquisition allows us to leverage the strengths of one of the world's leading global companies while continuing to push our innovation to new levels," said Gary Gysin, president and CEO of Liquid Robotics.
Liquid Robotics has approximately 100 employees in California and Hawaii. The company will become a subsidiary of Boeing operating under its current business model and reporting to Kory Mathews, vice president of Autonomous Systems for Boeing Defense, Space & Security. The companies did not disclose the terms of the agreement.

Combat Deforestation
Combat Deforestation
The Seed Is In your Hands, Forest Awaits!
More than ten million trees cut down every day; which means, about four billion a year; and that is a very big number to aghast your senses! More than half of this land coming out of deforestation is on illegitimate terms to fulfill the need of global consumption. To sell wood and animals, derogatory is common around the globe, just to make a few bucks. The human nature, which is surpassing its limits, is leading us to this disaster. The line has been drawn, as our Mother Nature is losing its serene environment. The air that could have been our nectar of soul is turning into vicious venom. Earth's forests contain over half of all the species living on the planet, but the relentless destruction of natural habitat for global requirement of products like timber, medicine, resin, etc., is causing the death of ecology and devastation of environment. The abomination and insolence of forest is scuttling us to the ultimate end. Nature demands rapport between the humans and the ecosystem to maintain the balance, but now with continuous deforestation, this balance has been broken devastatingly. The uncertain climatic conditions, earthquakes, floods occurring due to lack of trees, the gradual rise in temperature, soil erosion and unauthenticated urban planning are some of the grounds to cover.
Disseminating afforestation to save our Very Own Planet
How can you stop deforestation?
The answer is - you cannot; because of the need of materials required from the trees.
The worst example is Indonesia; due to extreme deforestation there, almost 97% of their natural forests have been lost. All the trees have been wiped out in the need to use wood and other products make the condition so bad that now they have to import everything and the high prices make it unaffordable for the general population to get hold of the basic things.
However, before such a thing happens to us, let us take a leap forward to build a new greener and healthier environment by reforestation with proper planning of wasteland use.
You Cannot Produce More Land, But You Can Plant More Trees for a Greener Tomorrow!
When India came under scrutiny, the vast population and shortage of land became one of the major concerns. The question remains that where to inhabit humans if there is no land left. An austere result of making life possible is to reduce forest, sell wood, and wipe out the bio diversity in that area, and you have your land on platter! However, it is not worth; the equilibrium should exist.
Plant a Tree – Serve the Nature – Treat the Cosmos
If you have land, then plant a seed and wait then plant some more, it takes time for the land to do that. Land use planning is a term where you live in a place, which did not come from deforestation, and even if it did come, you make sure that they did not cut down the trees and those trees were relocated. A right land use planning can save many trees, but as the population is increasing, the land is getting shorter to live on every moment.
Plant Your Trees – A Thought, An Initiative, An Attempt!
We are a group that does the job of planting trees right for you! Let us join hands and save our home, our land, our earth! PlantYourTrees.Com is an initiative, which promotes reforestation to certain authenticated locations sanctioned by the government. Connect with us now, and become a premium forester for a safer greener tomorrow.

History of African presence in London
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
There is evidence of the African presence in London, England, from Roman times to the present day.
Roman LondonEdit
Using bioarchaeology, DNA analysis and the examination of grave goods in Roman London have identified one woman from the southern Mediterranean that may have had black African ancestry who had both travelled to London during the Roman period.[1][2]
16th centuryEdit
Early in the 16th century, Africans arrived in London when Catherine of Aragon travelled to London and brought a group of her African attendants with her[citation needed]. Around the same time Africans named trumpeters, who served Henry VII and Henry VIII, came to London when trade lines began to open between London and West Africa. The first record of an African in London was in 1593. His name was Cornelius. London's residents started to become fearful of the increased black population. At this time Elizabeth I declared that black "Negroes and black Moors" were to be arrested and expelled from her kingdom, although this did not lead to any known legislation.[3][4]
17th–18th centuriesEdit
During this era there was a small rise of black people arriving in London. Britain was involved with the tri-continental slave trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas. Black slaves were attendants to sea captains and ex-colonial officials as well as traders, plantation owners and military personnel. This marked growing evidence of the black presence in the northern, eastern and southern areas of London. There were also small numbers of free slaves and seaman from West Africa and South Asia. Many of these people were forced into beggary due to the lack of jobs and racial discrimination.[5][6] There is evidence that black men and women were occasionally discriminated against when dealing with the law because of their skin colour. In 1737 George Scipio was accused of stealing Anne Godfrey's washing, the case rested entirely on whether or not Scipio was the only black man in Hackney at the time.[7]
Around the 1750s London became the home of many of Black people, Jews, Irish, Germans, and Huguenots. In 1764 The Gentleman's Magazine reported that there was 'supposed to be near 20,000 Negroe servants' -Evidence of the number of black residents in London has been found through registered burials. The people of London had widespread views that Black people in London were less than human;[citation needed] these views were expressed in slave sale advertisements. Leading black activists of this era included Olaudah Equiano, Ignatius Sancho and Quobna Ottobah Cugoano. With the support of other Britons these activists demanded that Blacks be freed from slavery. Supporters involved in this movements included workers and other nationalities of the urban poor. . At this time the slavery of whites was forbidden, but the legal statuses of these practices were not clearly defined. Free black slaves could not be enslaved, but blacks who were brought as slaves to Britain were considered the property of their owners. During this era Lord Mansfield declared that a slave who fled from his master could not be taken by force or sold abroad, in the case of Somerset v Stewart. This verdict fuelled the numbers of Blacks that escaped slavery, and helped send slavery into decline. In this same period many slave soldiers who fought on the side of the British in the American Revolutionary War arrived in London. These soldiers were deprived of pensions and many of them became poverty-stricken and were reduced to begging on the streets. The Blacks in London lived among the whites in areas of Mile End, Stepney, Paddington and St Giles. The majority of these people did not live as slaves, but as servants to wealthy whites. Many became labeled as the "Black Poor" defined as former low wage soldiers, seafarers and plantation workers.[8]
During the late 18th century there were many publications and memoirs written about the "black poor". One example is the writings of Equiano, who became an unofficial spokesman for Britain's Black community. A memoir about his life is entitled, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano. Equiano became a landowner in Cambridgeshire and married Susannah Cullen, from Soham. Both his daughters were born and baptised there.
In 1787 4,000 blacks were transported from London for resettlement to the colony of Sierra Leone with help from the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor.[9]
19th centuryEdit
Coming into the early 19th century, more groups of black soldiers and seaman were displaced after the Napoleonic wars and some settled in London. These settlers suffered and faced many challenges as did many black people in London. the slave trade was abolished completely in the British empire by 1834. The number of blacks in London was steadily declining with these new laws. Fewer blacks were brought into London from the West Indies and parts of Africa.[8]
During the mid-19th century there were restrictions on African immigration. In the later part of the 19th century there was a buildup of small groups of black dockside communities in towns such as Canning Town,[10] Liverpool, and Cardiff. This was a direct effect of new shipping links that were established with the Caribbean and West Africa.
Despite social prejudice and racist discrimination in Victorian England, some nineteenth-century black people living in England achieved exceptional success. Pablo Fanque, born poor as William Darby in Norwich, rose to become the proprietor of one of Britain's most successful Victorian circuses. He is immortalised in the lyrics of The Beatles song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" Another famous black Briton was William Davison, a conspirator executed in London for his role in the Cato Street Conspiracy against Lord Liverpool's government in 1820. Britain's first black High Sheriff was Nathaniel Wells, the son of a slave from St Kitts and a slave trader. After his father's death he was freed and inherited a fortune. He moved to Monmouthshire's Piercefield House and became Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1818. One of the leaders in 19th century chartism was William Cuffay, who was born on a merchant ship in the West Indies in 1788, and whose father, had been a slave in St Kitts.[11]
20th centuryEdit
One of the black Londoners, Learie Constantine, a cricketer from Trinidad and welfare officer in the RAF, was refused service at a London hotel. He stood up for his rights and later was awarded compensation. That particular example is used by some to illustrate the slow change from racism towards acceptance and equality of all citizens in London.[12]
Post-war periodEdit
In 1950, it was estimated there were no more than 20,000 non-White residents in the United Kingdom, mainly in England; almost all born overseas.[13] Just after the end of World War II, the first groups of post-war Caribbean immigrants started to emigrate and settle in London. There were an estimated 492 that were passengers on the HMT Empire Windrush that arrived at Tilbury Docks on 22 June 1948. These passengers settled in the area of Brixton which is now a prominently Black district in Britain. From the 1950s into the 1960s, there was a mass migration of workers from all over the English-speaking Caribbean, particularly Jamaica; who settled in the UK. These immigrants were invited to fill labour requirements in London's hospitals, transportation venues and railway development. There was a continuous influx of African students, sportsmen, and businessmen mixed within British society .[14] They are widely viewed as having been a major contributing factor to the rebuilding of the post-war urban London economy.
In 1962, the Commonwealth Immigrants Act was passed in the UK along with a succession of other laws in 1968, 1971, and 1981 that severely restricted the entry of Black Caribbean immigrants into the United Kingdom. During this period, it is widely argued that emergent Blacks and Asians struggled in Britain against racism and prejudice. In 1975, a new voice emerged for the Black population of London; his name was David Pitt and he brought a new voice to the House of Lords. He spoke against racism and for equality in regards to all residents of Britain. At the 1987 general election, the first-ever Black British MPs were elected to the House of Commons; Diane Abbott for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, Bernie Grant for Tottenham and Paul Boateng for Brent South. All were candidates from the Labour Party, and out of these three people; Abbott holds the distinction of being the first Black British woman to be elected to the House of Commons and is also the only one to still be an MP to the present day, as Grant died in 2000 and Boateng stood down in 2005.
By the end of the twentieth century, the number of Black Londoners numbered half a million, according to the 1991 UK Census. An increasing number of these Black Londoners were London, or British-born. Even with this growing population and the first Blacks elected to the UK Parliament, many argue that there was still discrimination and a socio-economic imbalance in London among the Black community. In 1992, the number of Blacks in Parliament increased to six and in 1997, they increased their numbers to nine. There are still many problems that Black Londoners face; the new global and high-tech information revolution is changing the urban economy and some argue that it is driving unemployment rates among Blacks up relative to non-blacks,[citation needed] something which, it is argued, threatens to erode the progress made thus far.[8]
As of June 2007, the Black population of London is 802,300, equivalent to 10.6% of the population of London. 4.3% of Londoners are Caribbean, 5.5% of Londoners are African and a further 0.8% are from other black backgrounds including American and Latin American. There are also 117,400 people who are mixed black and white.[15] At the 2011 UK Census, the total Black population of London stood at 1,088,640 or 13.3% of the population.[16]

Download Famous After Death Study Guide
Famous After Death
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
A comic writer like his famous father John, Benjamin Cheever treats readers to an intermittently amusing account of the fall and ironic rise of an overweight and generally unprepossessing New York editor Noel Hammersmith who desires above all to be famous, thin, and loved by many women. However, he has just been dumped by Ginny, and his work for Acropolis, "The Best Little Publishing House in America," consists chiefly in editing diet books—The All- Poison Diet is a big success—for the endlessly gullible. He himself, though a runner, is popping diet pills from a mail-order company, Golden Rule Vitamins, as a result of which he gains weight steadily, eventually topping out at 225.
A pony-tailed crank who calls himself Che Guevara seeks Hammersmith out with a proposal to write a book on international terrorism. In a variety of modes and 38 short chapters covering the years 1984-1988 Cheever traces retrospectively and tongue-in-cheek Noel's problems with weight, women, therapy, and work (he is down-sized, and his firm, "the American publisher of Kafka," is to be taken over by a cat-food company, Pretty Kitty). These problems culminate in his agreeing to take the responsibility for the four-year bombing campaign resulting in thirty-four deaths by Che, The Wordsworth Bomber (he leaves poem fragments at the scene), because it will make him famous and because the police do not want the obscure underground anti-immigration political group the Know-Nothings (whose agent is Che) to benefit from any publicity.
Readers see Noel in prison at the opening of the novel about to be interviewed by Babawawa and learn at the end of the novel of a proposed television special on his life, played "charmingly" by Don Johnson. Noel weighs 138 lbs., and is now a happy man, having achieved all his heart's desires: fame, slimness, and the adoration of the many women who write him ("Half a dozen marriage proposals a month") plus time to write his journals.

I have constantly been asked this question by women who follow me on Quora.
Grace for example wanted to know, " What is the best female pre workout supplement that I can use?" Annabel on the other hand asked, "What are the supplements to take before workout?"
The two questions are essentially asking the same thing. The two ladies are asking on preworkout supplements for weight loss and muscle gain.
You see, workouts are tiring and take lots of energy. As a woman, you want your body to take in the exercises without tiring easily. The reason why one tires so easily is because their muscles are on overdrive and would do with a boost of oxygen.
Without this boost, the body easily gets fatigued and lactic acid is formed in the muscles.

Aphrodisiacs are sexual stimulants used for centuries by all cultures to heighten sexual desires. The idea is not new or a strange one. We come into contact with it everyday, although in a much subtler form.
The most primitive form of natural sexual stimulant is the scent of smell from the human body. Odors and subliminal scents from males and females act as natural sex stimuli which is unconsciously picked up by the brain and stimulates the production of mood altering hormones. Animals use scent too to indicate when they are ready to mate.
Aphrodisiacs were first concocted to treat sexual anxieties and then to increase fertility for human procreation. Since then, they were recognized for their properties of boosting sexual desires and energy. The Chinese were one of the earlier known civilizations to use natural herbs and roots as aphrodisiacs. However, every culture have their own local aphrodisiacs made from local ingredients. Natural aphrodisiacs are derived from plants and herbs, ginseng, yohimbe, damiana, and certain animal parts. Non-natural are made from chemical substances or scented with pheromones (or simply drugs). Most aphrodisiacs nowadays combine both natural and artificial ingredients (ie vitamin enriched herbal recipes).
Types of Aphrodisiacs
Aphrodisiacs function as sexual stimulants in two principal ways. The first is to achieve a healthy well-being with more energy, more vitality, and mental alertness. The goal is that a strong healthy physique (or strong erections) will also make us more sexually active. The second is to create a stronger sex drive by stimulating the mind and creating the desire for sex. This is done by ingesting certain foods that stimulate the release of mood-altering hormones. There has been a much scientific debate about the effectiveness of aphrodisiacs to alter a person's mood or whether the effect is self-imagined. Although anti-depressants or caffeine can affect a person's mood, there isn't a magic drug which can create an immediate sexual urge like the mythical Spanish Fly. But taken regularly and with proper nutrition, foods can indeed enhance the libido and remedy low sex drives.
A herbal ingredient extracted from the Corynanthe Yohimbe bark, a tropical tree which grows wild in certain parts of Africa. It's one of the most popular ingredients used in aphrodisiacs and has been used for centuries as a tonic to enhance sexual pleasure. Besides being used to enhance sexual performance, there are also many other health benefits. Among them, they are used as anti-depressants, for the prevention of heart attacks, increased mental alertness, and for a more balanced overall health. Yohimbe is usually taken with Saw Palmetto and Ginseng as a remedy for men and women with low sex drive.
Yohimbe is available today in packaged capsules from pharmacies and drugstores. Caution is advised as it may cause side effects.
Damiana (Turnera aphrodisiaca) is extracted from the leaf of a plant found in Mexico and South America. Consumed by herbalists as tea, Damiana is classified as a nervine tonic which has many health benefits. It is taken by women either as a sexual stimulant, or to treat certain female disorders related to the reproductive system. With proper exercise and diet, Damiana is also used to treat infertility in women. It is also commonly used by both, men and women to stimulate a stronger sex drive.
Deer Velvet
Deer Velvet is taken from the growing antlers of a deer. The deer sheds and regrows its antlers each year, during which time the deer sports short furry hair resembling velvet; and hence the name. Deer Velvet has been used for more than 2000 years as a medicinal health tonic. Similar in benefits to the ginseng, deer velvet is taken as a rejuvenating tonic for enhanced overall health, to aid in fertility and to create a heightened sexual interest. It is available in capsule form.
The most widely known, ginseng has been used for centuries in Asia as an aphrodisiac or tonic for well-being. They are widely taken with other herbal supplements as a stimulant and energy booster. There were reports suggesting that ginseng has effects on hormones and may act like a hormone itself. Studies are still ongoing for its potential as an anti-cancer agent. The price of the root runs anywhere from $30 to $600 per pound and in the U.S. ginseng is a multi-million dollar industry. You can read more about Ginseng here. Besides the raw root, ginseng extract is also available in capsule form from pharmacies or drug stores.
Commercially marketed as an aphrodisiac to increase sex drive, Boom is a natural blend combining Yohimbe, Ginseng, Deer Velvet, and enriched with amino acids. It is taken to increase sexual desire and performance and also helps with erectile dysfunction. Boom is taken orally as sachets containing chocolate flavored powder.
Vuka Vuka
Vuka Vuka is from Africa, a herbal alternative to Viagra and aphrodisiac used to enhance sexual performance instantly. I don't know what to make of it but you can read all about it here. It was also featured on CNN, BBC and The Guardian, so there might be some basis for it.
Spanish Fly
Let's clear this myth once and for all. The story about this mystical "Spanish Fly" began in a locker room when some teenager slipped the drug to his unsuspecting date and was whipped into an uncontrollable sexual frenzy. The tale caught on (as with lots of hot gossips) and the adult industry chanced on the opportunity of creating a million dollar buying frenzy. The term Spanish fly was marketed as an aphrodisiac to create instant sex drives. The people loved the idea (at least some of them did), the pornographers promoted it, the internet proliferated the idea and the cash came rolling in. Until today, you can still see it marketed as an instant remedy for sexual desires on certain online stores. That's the myth.
Now the facts. The boring part. Spanish Fly got its name from a dried crushed body of a beetle known as Cantharis Vesicatoria. It has certain medical applications as a diuretic. The kidneys excrete a substance known as Cantharidin to stimulate urination. The Spanish Fly contains Cantharidin and hence its application as a diuretic. It works by irritating the urinary tract and causes an increased blood flow to the groin area. Contrary to popular belief, this itching in women does not whip them into a sexual frenzy, but it is in fact quite the opposite. In men, the increased blood flow causes sustained painful erection not associated with sexual desire.
So in 1996, the FDA took on a study and confirmed that the drug has no sexual benefits. But the adult industry continues to sell the idea. Afterall, myth sells better than facts. The Spanish Fly marketed these days usually contain ginseng. Carefully study the ingredients and you will find they don't contain Cantharidin, the substance in Spanish Fly and hence it does not work. I hope not, otherwise, men will just end up with painful erections.

I had so much fund doing my first thrift haul, I decided to do a second! Doing these videos has been a much bigger challenge than I anticipated, and I have a newfound respect for all the thrifting Youtubers I watch now. But it's also getting easier as I go along. I think I'm getting the hang of it!
In this thrift haul, I talk a little about some of my recent finds at my favorite thrift store, Circle Thrift, as well as my favorite online platform for buying and selling secondhand clothing, Poshmark. I also shared a few items I found at a new store to me, the Savers in Willow Grove. I recently took an awesome thrifting class with Nadene of Thrifty Business with Jay & Nay there, so I'm sharing some of my finds from that class.
In this thrift haul, I talk a little about finding two of my 'holy grails' of thrifting — things I have been looking out for for months, even years, and finally found. This time, I managed to find my first Burberry piece and some amazing gold-plated flatware similar to the set I've been coveting at West Elm. What are some of your thrifting holy grails? Have you ever found one?
I'm realizing now that I have so much to learn if I want to keep doing these videos — lighting, equipment, editing, etc. But I hope you enjoy these early vlogging attempts as much as I loved making them! As before, I'm completely open to constructive feedback, and I'd love to know what sorts of things you'd like to see in future videos.
If you liked this post, you might want check out my first haul video! You can also read more about my favorite places in Fishtown, or how to get started buying and selling on Poshmark.

text: Exhibition October 17 to November 14, 2004, at Sugarama Gallery, Mourilyan (just south of Innisfail).The theme initiated by K.Madsen-Pietsch was then curated by Jill O'Sullivan, MCA, Artist/Lecturer, JCU, Townsville. The group exhibition showcases the artist's interpretation to their own 'sense of attachment'. It has a broad representation of 16 local Innisfail & district artists in a very successful show.Artist's statement:One continuum through out my life has been with tactility, its seduction and the manipulation of various fibres & threads, often for a functional end use as in the displayed Set 3 Banana fibre pods with lids.Still with the idea of 'attachment' I decided to extract (detach) the stitch from the 3D object of use and, abstractly and meditatively, started extrapolating 'the stitch'. 'Threads' (Visual Stitch Diary/Book) became the instrument for the sorting, sifting through the labyrinth of fluctuating ideas and associations. It allowed for creative exploration, enquiry and expression of new conceptual ideas and forms, new attachments. Practically stitches bind, attach, and connect materials and/or surfaces together and is a metaphor for human bonding. The stitch becomes the 'thread', linking and connecting to the human psyche. Using a needle and thread by hand to stitch is a slow, methodical and sometimes painful process, of pushing and pulling through materials. The process reveals the two sides (dual nature) and the in-between to this affair. This book is the starting/referencing point for a further body of new work which is to be exhibited in a select artist group/curated exhibition called 'Growth'. The artists involved are members of the Kuranda Arts Cooperative Ltd. It is to held at the Cairns Regional Gallery next July 2005.
