Global warming is an issue we have all been made very aware of. However, although it appears to be a very straightforward process, numerous studies conducted on the problem have yielded varied results and conflicting evidence. This means there is little certainty over what is actually happening, the reasons for it, and the implications. On a very basic level, the problem is changes in the climate, which appear to be causing ice in the Polar Regions to melt. This in turn is causing many changes including a rise in sea levels, and damage to arctic environments, which is also greatly affecting wildlife.
This issue of climate change is divided. We know that temperatures are rising – around the Arctic Peninsula they have risen 2.5 degrees in 50 years. This may not seem a lot but it actually makes a huge difference. But there is still debate as to what is causing this rise in temperatures, with some scientists arguing that the temperatures may be rising due to certain natural processes, as Antarctica has melted before – 3 million years ago.
Human influences
Nevertheless, there is a general consensus that human influences are contributing significantly. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in their 1995 scientific assessment: 'the balance of evidence suggests a discernable human influence on global climate'. This human influence is mainly in the form of detrimental greenhouse gases and the destruction of forests, which absorb damaging carbon dioxide. Many scientists explain that the warming may create a domino effect called 'positive feedback' causing even more, intensified warming. This is because the bright surface of the ice acts as a reflector for the sun, keeping the planet cool. This reflective quality is called 'albedo'. The more ice that melts, the less there will be to reflect the sun, and so the warmer it will become, thus causing temperatures to rise higher and faster, in an ever decreasing circle.
Meanwhile, other scientists believe that the warming could eventually lead to a reduced sea level, because the increased temperature would mean more evaporation, and more snowfall. If the snowfall increases more than the melting, the sea levels would lower, and the Polar Regions would increase. However, at the moment, the concern seems to be firmly placed on he opposite. In January 1995, the 4,200 sq km ice shelf Larsen A collapsed. Three years later, in April 1998, 200sq km of Larsen B collapsed. Then, finally, in March of this year, Larsen B collapsed completely.
The polar ice caps
The problem affects the ice structures in the polar regions on many levels. The main problem seems to be that the 'grounding line' between grounded and floating ice is receding. It's quite simple really: ice does not have to melt in order to contribute to the water levels. What is does have to do, is become separated from the grounded areas of ice. Once it detaches and floats free, most of the contribution to the sea level has been made – just like putting ice in a glass of coke. So the rise in temperature is causing the line of grounded ice to recede – so more ice is breaking off and floating free. Of course a lot of it is melting as well, but it is the disintegration of the main body which is most significant, as after this, the form of the ice makes little difference.
The implications of this change are large scale and global; rises in the sea level, climates and an increase in extreme weather; more cyclonic storms, changed wind patterns affecting temperature, hotter summers, colder winters, flooding and droughts. We have all been told about the dangers of large coastal cities such as New York and Miami disappearing underwater – well this would also include the islands of the Pacific, Caribbean and Indian Oceans and a lot of Scandinavia. The melting ice caps would also mean changes to water current patterns and temperatures – the Ocean Conveyor which brings warmer and cooler water to different countries, such as the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift. And the wildlife of the Polar Regions is in fact already greatly affected by the changes.
The affect on wildlife
In fact the melting of the Polar Regions is at the moment most critical for the wildlife that inhabit them. These regions are home to a surprising range of perfectly evolved animals including polar bears, seals, walruses, penguins, caribou, and a great array of arctic sea life. These creatures rely on the ice cover and seasonal changes in environment to survive.
The polar bear, for example, is most active during winter and spring, as this is when ithe ice cover is at its peak. But with warmer weather, the colder season is receding – the 'spring break-up' for example, now come 3 weeks earlier than it used to. This is a significant reduction in the time that the bears have to stock up on – they often go many months without feeding, a pregnant mother, for example, can fast for up to 8 months. But the longer the warmer season lasts, the longer the bears have to last without food. The effects are evident through the bears' loss of weight and reduced numbers of cubs.
Even more striking is the plight of the Peary caribou – a type of antelope, which, until recently, thrived in these extreme environments. But their Western Arctic Island population of 24,320 in 1961 fell to a meagre 1,100 by 1997. In one particular place, only 43 caribou remained of an original 2,400. The caribou starved to death during the warm winters that made it near impossible for them to feed. Instead of soft snow covering the ground, which they could dig beneath to find
These are just two of the animals affected by the changes and only a small view of what their species are experiencing. Penguins, walruses and seals are among a host of other wildlife affected similarly.
The damage that has been and will continue to be done to both their and our own ways of life is not only very significant but holds very serious consequences for us if we do not rectify the situation somehow. There is no debate over the benefits of global warming, as no one stands to benefit from a world affected by it. But if people, corporations and governments fail to recognise and act on the problem, it is inevitable that their choices will one day catch up with them in a very unpleasant and unfortunate way.

Sun Yat Sen looms large in the history of
this Penang heritage building...
...for in addition to having been a local merchant's home,
it also was the Chinese revolutionary's Penang base!
Last week, I returned to the site of my first encounter with a Chinese movie star. Rather than it being here in Hong Kong, it actually was back in Penang; at a location which actually is far more well known for the part it played in Chinese history than in a Chinese film.
Built around 1880 as a merchant's home, the long row house at 120 Armenian Street served for a time as the home of the Penang Philomathic Union, a reading club which was a cover for the underground movement led by Dr Sun Yat Sen, the Chinese revolutionary who had a major hand in overthrowing the Qing dynasty and establishing the Republic of China (which continues to this day in Taiwan).
In 1910, Dr Sun moved the Southeast Asian headquarters of his Tongmenghui party to Penang. After setting up residence as well as his political homebase in this townhouse, he also went on to establish, publish and print copies of the Kwong Wah Yit Poh newspaper -- which remains in operation to this day and is the world's oldest Chinese newspaper -- at 120 Armenian Street.
Now home to a Sun Yat Sen Museum, art imitated life when the historic building served as a location for Road to Dawn, a 2007 historical drama directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Derek Chiu and starring Taiwanese actor Winston Chao as Dr. Sun Yat Sen. As it so happens, the house's owner cum custodian of the Sun Yat Sen Museum was (and is) a friend of mine. And when she asked me if I'd like to go with her to meet Winston Chao at 120 Armenian Street, I of course jumped at the chance to do so!
Unbeknownst to my friend, years before I became a "born again" Hong Kong movie fan when living in Philadelphia, I had seen Winston Chao star in Ang Lee's entertaining The Wedding Banquet (1993) and also had seen him in Ang Lee's sublime Eat, Drink, Man, Woman (1994). But I had to come associate him with Sun Yat Sen after seeing Chao playing the Chinese historical personality in Mabel Cheung's The Soong Sisters (1997) -- and, as it turned out, have subsequently seen the actor also portray Dr. Sun in another film (1911) as well as Road to Dawn.
After moving to Hong Kong, I viewed another Hong Kong movie about the 1911 uprising. Directed by Derek Chiu, 72 Martyrs had its theatrical release during the 100 year anniversary of a key revolt which took place in Guangzhou but in which a number of Penangites and other overseas Chinese played significant parts.
I must admit: it felt rather strange to watch a Hong Kong movie in Hong Kong with scenes set in Penang and featuring characters from there. It had happened before (with such as Moonlight in Malaya). But I think in the case of 72 Martyrs (and also, Road to Dawn, which I ended up watching in a Hong Kong cinema years after I had left Penang), there was more emotion involved because I was watching what actually were important events in Chinese history being shown having taken place in my home state!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/6/2011 (3290 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It was upon returning home Tuesday night from watching all those young men in Jets sweaters roaming the city streets like hockey fans back from the dead that I decided to call the granddaddy of all Winnipeg zombies.
My neighbour, Garry Pestaluky.
Garry is not only one of Winnipeg's typically friendly guys next door, he's also one of the most loyal hockey fans in one of the world's great hockey cities; never mind that on the day the Thrashers became The Team To Be Named Later, one angry, poor sport of an Atlanta newspaper columnist sneeringly referred to Winnipeg as a "Canadian outpost."
But I wanted to tell you about Garry.
What sets him apart -- what puts him in a rare place among the most loyal and smartest of Winnipeg hockey fans -- is his season-ticket history.
Garry owns Hi-Tech Sales Ltd., which, by coincidence, supplied conduit for the construction of the MTS Centre. And it's through his business, and the company he worked for back in the early 1970s, that Garry has held a pair of professional hockey season tickets for nearly 40 years. From the Winnipeg Jets' first game in the World Hockey Association to their last in the NHL, and then through the Moose years in the International and American leagues.
Even though he hasn't been to a game himself in two years, Garry continued to buy Moose tickets in anticipation of the day when the NHL returned to Winnipeg. Believing that when that day came he would be able to retain his choice location in Section 106, 14 rows up at the blue-line.
"I wanted my seats," Garry said.
That one day finally arrived Tuesday. It was at 12:06 p.m. -- less than an hour after the start of True North Sports & Entertainment chairman Mark Chipman's announcement of the purchase of the Atlanta franchise -- that an email arrived on Garry's BlackBerry.
With it came instructions.
Garry was told that at 4 p.m. Wednesday he could use his Moose account number and a supplied password to put down a $1,000 deposit (per ticket) on a five-year commitment. Price tag: $11,610.
Given what he thought he might have to pay, the $129 top ticket was a pleasant surprise. He was expecting $200. And a couple of weekends ago he was parked in his driveway telling me he didn't know if he could justify tickets that cost that much, even given how he'd invested in the wait. But Garry was in for another pleasant surprise.
As one of the more than 2,000 Moose season-ticket holders, he not only got to go to the front of the line, he was also in line for a bonus. A chance to lay claim to two more tickets, for a total of four. If he'd had six Moose season tickets, he could have made it 12. And he probably could have sold all 12 if he had them because even before the team purchase was formalized, Garry says about a dozen people contacted him wanting to buy a share of his original two seats.
So what is he going to do?
Well, he plans to take tickets for 15 games for himself and then sell the rest to some of the people who've suddenly become his best friends.
The other two seats, the bonus pair, he'll let family buy.
What concerns Garry, though, is all those young hockey zombies who could end up disappointed, still wandering the streets outside the MTS Centre. Like the guys he saw at the Polo Park Joey's at lunch on Tuesday, all wearing their Jets sweaters, and talking on their cellphones to pals about buying season tickets.
Garry worries a lot of them might be dreaming, and by the time they wake up next week all the Drive to 13,000 season tickets will be gone. And all those enthusiastic young fans will be left dealing with scalpers or scrambling for some of the 2,000 tickets the team is keeping for single-game sales. True North spokesman Scott Brown didn't discount that quick season-ticket sellout scenario. But then why would he?
He told me Wednesday that if all the Moose season-ticket holders and corporate sponsors exercised their ticket options to the max, as many as 9,000 of the 13,000 could be gone by the time they go on general sale Saturday.
Whatever the number that are still available after the Moose faithful finish feasting, chances are an online frenzy could follow, the kind that concertgoers have become conditioned to expect when a big act hits town. And the acts don't come any bigger in these parts than the return of The Team To Be Named Later.
It's all about hope, hype, supply and demand and a building that enhances all of the above. True North officials knew what they were doing when the MTS Centre was built to be the NHL's smallest rink, in the NHL's smallest market. But then so did Garry Pestaluky, the man who helped them build it. And the fan who kept his seats warm all those years -- believing that one day they'd be hot again.

I like to think of Almost There as a companion story to Never Gone more than strictly a sequel; you don't need to read the prequel to understand it. It picks up 18 months after Never Gone, the summer after Dani's junior year. Prepare for hose battles, a roadkill journal, toasted-marshmallow flavored kisses, and a rain-soaked rendezvous with the wrong guy.
I will begin releasing sample chapters on Wattpad over the next few weeks. Please follow me there @LaurelGarver for more sneak peeks.

Full Day The Crags Wine & Ride – Plettenberg Bay
Discover The Wines Of The Garden Route
It is it hard to imagine that 12 years ago there were no vines in the Plettenberg Bay area. Today, a number of vineyards have been established with some of the best wines in Southern Africa.
Join Bike & Saddle and explore this unique coastal gem on The Garden Route. Cycle the backroads through lush vineyards and stop for tastings at superb boutique cellars along the way. Top it off with the freshest canapes from local farm produce and soak in the magnificent vistas all around you. Arguably the best way to experience The Crags!
We start our day at Bramon Estate in The Crags, where the idea of vineyards in Plett first took root. There used to be only Wattle and Blue Gum trees where now rows of vines are growing. In fact, lunch at the restaurant is enjoyed in the vineyard, with tables placed between the vines.
Leaving Bramon, we follow private tracks through the vineyards out to Kurland Estate, a member of Relais and Chateaux, a true 5 star country hotel with its grand, white Cape Dutch buildings, some dating back to 1885. It is situated on a vast 700 hectare (1700 acre) estate of great natural beauty, at the foot of mountains and bordering the pristine beaches of Nature's Valley.
Our next stop is Newstead Lund Family Vineyards. Owners Doug and Sue Lund grew up on sugar and dairy farms in KwaZulu-Natal, and inspired after a visit to New Zealand, decided that farming grapes on the Garden Route is their true passion.
The small boutique winery is elegant and simple, stylish and intimate. "How it makes people feel is important and we put friendship before function," Sue says. "It's not uncommon for visitors to end up staying a few hours. Sometimes the hardest part is getting them to leave!."
Lunch is either served at Newstead – or a short cycle-loop back to Bramon: Picnic or vineyard style, it's just the perfect way to end the first half of your day's activity.
After a leisurely lunch we shuttle a short distance towards Knysna for the 2nd part of our day. Here you have a choice: Harkerville Forest, offers three routes options: Red (23 km), Green (15 km) and Blue (12 km). All three include sections of single track riding along forest paths. The Red route includes some of the most dramatic scenery in the country.
Our destination though is Packwood Wine & Country Estate. And depending on your fitness level and preference, our guides will either take you on the shorter or longer loop through what is by any standard, some of the finest hardwood forest on the Garden Route.
At Packwood, views across thousands of acres of pastures, gorges, mountains and the Knysna forest awaits, giving you a true picture of country living along this stretch of coastline. Owners Peter and Vicky Gent planted their vines in 2006 on the highest point of the farm, about 350m above sea level.
Winemaker Teddy Hall, a member of the prestigious Cape Winemakers Guild, makes the Packwood Sauvignon Blanc and the Gent Pinot Noir MCC. Together with the local cheeses prepared on the farm, it's the perfect culinary ending to a perfect day.

text: Poultry activities have expanded significantly in Bangladesh in recent years. The litter generated from rural poultry farms is often dumped in low ground neighboring areas resulting in greenhouse gas emissions, as well as water and air pollution. This study estimates the GHG emissions of a typical rural layer poultry farm in Bangladesh, and identifies the GHG emissions reduction potential when poultry litter management techniques are used to produce biogas, generating electricity and bio-fertilizer. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) has been used for a systematic evaluation of GHG-emissions considering the local supply chain in a typical rural layer poultry farm. The analysis shows that the GHG-emissions at the poultry farm amount to 1735 KgCO2eq/10000 eggs produced if the litter is untreated. With the installation of an anaerobic digester, the emission intensity could be reduced by 65% if the gas is used to replace LPG for cooking purposes. If 100% digested slurry is utilized as bio-fertilizer, the emissions intensity could be further reduced by 17 times compared to the case without slurry utilization. These results justify the consideration of national programs to improve conditions in poultry farms in Bangladesh.

Trump Facing Renewed Pressure To Sit For Mueller Interview After Kim Summit
Now that President Donald Trump's historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has come and gone, his legal team's focus is shifting back toward Special Counsel Robert Mueller. And as Bloomberg reports, Mueller – who is pushing to wrap up the investigation as quickly as possible – is mounting one last push to convince Trump and his legal team to voluntarily sit for an interview. While Mueller has suffered the slings and arrows of Trump's wrath – Trump's allies have hurled vitriol at the special counsel on both twitter and cable news – his determination to interview the president remains unshaken.
So, now the two sides must either find common ground – or gear up for a legal battle that would likely need to be resolved by the Supreme Court.
Now, Mueller is intent on quickly resolving a central issue with Trump's legal team: whether the president will sit voluntarily for an interview in the probe of Russian election meddling, according to current and former U.S. officials. After months of negotiations, the two sides must find common ground or gear up for an unprecedented legal fight likely to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
"It's a little bit of a game," said Harry Sandick, a former federal prosecutor who's now a partner with law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler. "Mueller could subpoena the president but probably doesn't want to. He faces some litigation risk. Trump could fight the subpoena, but he also faces a political risk."
During their push to turn public opinion against Mueller, Trump's lawyers, led by Jay Sekulow and Rudy Giuliani, have engaged in selective leaking, including back in early May when they leaked a list of 49 questions purportedly turned. As one lawyer who spoke with Bloomberg pointed out, the ongoing negotiations have turned into "a bit of a game." Others have claimed that the leak was intended to pressure Mueller into killing the interview (of course, we all know how that turned out).
"It's a little bit of a game," said Harry Sandick, a former federal prosecutor who's now a partner with law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler. "Mueller could subpoena the president but probably doesn't want to. He faces some litigation risk. Trump could fight the subpoena, but he also faces a political risk."
The interview is key to Mueller's investigation into whether Trump or any of his associates helped Russia interfere in the 2016 U.S. election and whether Trump acted to obstruct the probe, one official said.
Meanwhile, Giuliani claimed late last month that he and Trump have already been rehearsing for an in-person interview with Mueller after the special counsel summarily rejected the Trump legal team's request to conduct some of the interview in a written format.
However, since FBI agents raided Trump attorney Michael Cohen's home, office and hotel room and are reportedly preparing to charge him with a crime, the president has grown increasingly wary of an interview.
One problem for Trump, though, is that if Mueller wins at the Supreme Court, he could compel Trump to sit for a Grand Jury for as long as he wants, and subject Trump to questions on a range of topics without providing any advanced warning.
"I think the Supreme Court will rule in Mueller's favor, but we don't really know," Sandick said. "If Mueller wins, he can actually put Trump in the grand jury without his lawyer for as long as he wants and ask about any subject he wants."
Furthermore, if Trump chooses the court battle route, Mueller's probe would encounter further delays, as the ruling likely wouldn't arrive until October at the earliest, after the Court returns from its summer recess. That would mean the investigation likely wouldn't wrap up until late this year – or early next year – at the very earliest. It also would open the Republican Party up to a high degree of political risk, because the Court's final ruling could arrive just before the midterms.
But since the beginning of the probe, the biggest obstacle to a direct interview is Trump. The president's legal team came within a hair's breadth of an agreement back in January. But as Trump got cold feet, his team sent Mueller a 20-page letter arguing that Trump isn't entitled to answer Mueller's questions as they invoked Trump's executive privilege.
Regardless of whether the interview happens, Mueller has told Trump's team that he will prepare a report summarizing his findings that will be turned over to the DOJ and, eventually, Congress. Then it will be up to Congress whether to release the report.
That will ultimately depend on the outcome of the midterm vote.

This sounds familiar. In an effort to win Republican support for one of his top priorities, President Obama reaches out with a compromise. But it happens to be a compromise that runs counter to his own larger objectives. Plus, he seems to be giving up a bargaining chip a lot earlier than he has to.
That seems to be the case with offshore oil drilling, which Obama announced last week he plans to allow off the Southeast's Atlantic seaboard, in part of the Gulf of Mexico and in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska's northern coast.
Ending a longstanding moratorium on exploration and drilling in those areas is being viewed in Washington as an olive branch to oil companies and moderate members of the Senate. He may need their support in passing legislation to combat climate change.
But it's difficult to see how expanding access to a fuel that emits greenhouse gases will reduce the actual emission of greenhouse gases. And — unless a backroom deal already has been made — it's difficult to see how giving up a chip before the climate legislation passes actually strengthens Obama's bargaining position. (The climate bill is likely to end up codifying administration policy on the moratorium.)
Republicans and the right-wing media greeted the gesture as they have most others from Obama — with more contempt than conciliation. They argue Obama should have moved further in their direction. And their backing of a climate bill remains unlikely.
The drilling announcement doesn't even seem to be moving Democratic positions on the climate bill — which has been languishing in the Senate since last fall — in the right direction: According to the Miami Herald, 10 Democrats who had been expected to support climate change legislation, sent a letter to the bill's sponsors a few days before Obama's announcement saying that they wouldn't support a version that opened up coastal states to too much drilling. Meanwhile, Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska), who already opposed the climate bill, said he still plans too oppose it — even though he likes Obama's proposal to allow drilling in the Arctic.
We've seen this kind of thing before. A little more than a year ago, the president took a similar route with his stimulus plan. He trimmed it to $787 billion and dedicated more than a third of that to tax cuts — even though many good economists figured that amount was too little and that tax cuts were too indirect to spur a robust recovery.
By making too many compromises before the stimulus went to Congress, the White House gave up negotiating room before even sitting down at the table. In the end, the watered-down package got all of three votes from Republican senators — one of whom is now a Democrat. And although the stimulus helped end the recession, it wasn't enough to cut unemployment right away. So Obama's Democratic allies are stuck on the congressional campaign trail trying to defend a jobless recovery.
We also saw this happen with the health care debate. From the start, it was a moderate, market-based plan — closer to legislation President Richard Nixon proposed in the 1970s than to "socialized medicine." Then, a handful of moderate Republicans and conservative Democrats stalled the bill in the Senate, ostensibly seeking more compromise. But their demands kept changing.
Health reform finally did pass when Obama decided to ram it through without grasping for Republican support that would never come anyway.
Imperfect as the bill was, Obama managed to achieve the nation's most significant social reform in nearly a half a century. And, while Republicans still want to make reform a political liability for Democrats, it's certainly not the millstone it would have been had the president put so much effort into it and come away with nothing.
The lesson for our young president seems obvious: All those sincere efforts at fairness and openness don't mean squat if you fail to bring about the change that people actually care about. So deal with Washington's partisan atmosphere from a position of strength, particularly when you're in the majority. And don't forget that people outside Washington care about results more than process.
But Obama's decision last week to throw a bone to the oil industry and the "Drill, baby, drill" crowd makes me wonder whether he's learned that lesson.
The climate bill that the House passed last fall and sent to the Senate amounts to a moderate attempt to address the problem. It falls well short of the greenhouse gas reductions scientists say are necessary to ward off disaster. But it would be a big step in the right direction.
In the Senate, however, compromise is the name of the game — ad nauseum. Even before Obama announced his offshore drilling plans, environmentalists were worried that concessions to "clean coal," nuclear power — not to mention the idea that the federal government could pre-empt tougher state climate laws — were all threatening to compromise most of what was good in the bill.
Some speculate that there's an electoral argument for ending the offshore moratorium. In other words, it's not about a congressional vote; it's about taking a popular stand to help Democratic candidates win in November. White House aides insist that there's no politics at all in the decision — that it's simply the right thing to do; they note that Obama supported some offshore drilling on the campaign trail.
If that's the case, then it's worth arguing the merits. Obama described his proposed lifting of the moratorium as "part of a broader strategy that will move us from an economy that runs on fossil fuels and foreign oil to one that relies more on homegrown fuels and clean energy."
I get the foreign oil part. But how does one reduce one's overall dependence on fossil fuels by making more fossil fuels available? At what point does investment in an infrastructure that extracts oil out of the ground become a larger, long-term commitment to more and more oil?
Senate sponsors haven't actually hammered out their climate bill yet. But, to be fair, it's likely to to do a lot more than offer giveaways to a bunch of polluting special interests. It also features grants and incentives for clean energy and efficiency, as well as the necessary evil of cap-and-trade — a scheme designed to get polluters to pay for at least a portion of the costs they foist on the rest of us. You can even argue that clean coal and nuclear power belong in the bill because they're part of a strategy to fight climate change. But there's no such argument in favor of "Drill, baby, drill."
But here's the thing that really doesn't make sense to me: The debate over climate change legislation contains another dynamic that strengthens the hand of those who want us to take action. In December, the Environmental Protection Agency announced its plan to regulate greenhouse gases. Effectively, it's a threat to greenhouse polluters, and to the senators who see their job as protecting those polluters: Allow strong legislation — complete with positive incentives and market-based system — to pass, or you'll be saddled to a set of command-and-control regulations that you really hate to govern greenhouse emissions.
That threat to polluting industries is an ace in the hole for senators who actually do want effective climate action. When the status quo works in favor of environmentalists, why should pro-environment senators vote for a plan that compromises away so many of the climate bill's potential gains?
A note to our readers: Until four weeks ago, this column was called Media Mayhem and was limited to the intersection between the environment and the media. But last month I cajoled, begged and bribed my editor to allow me to write further afield. It's now called Planet Pundit, which should clue you into the fact the subject is rather broad. I plan to focus on environmental politics and trends. I'd love your feedback and ideas. Please don't hesitate to write me at firstname.lastname@example.com or post your thoughts in the comments section below.

Return to Escape from New York
In fairness to the two in the cab, I'd kind of forgotten about him myself. And yes, I know it's not exactly the most meaningful reference to a John Carpenter movie in the post title, but I figure if I just make lots of contextless pop culture references, I can get a job writing for "The Family Guy".

Rugknots and Tardig
Saturday morning was unusual; it was the first Saturday morning without a basketball practice since late October. To fill the time, we made a family outing to midtown KC, picked up a few things at Wild Oats, an organic grocer, then headed over to Waldo on a whim. See, we got a certificate for a Persian rug from A.--a good friend who runs a gallery in south-central Kansas City, just beyond the Plaza and the campus of UMKC. We don't get over there often; in fact, we hadn't been in at least a year. Originally from Persia, just before it switched to Iran in '35, A., now 80-something, gifted us a generous certificate for a 3x5 carpet from his shop; we've put off the visit for the past seven months because of the chaos of our incongruent schedules.
A life-long chemist by trade, A. wasn't at the shop. His son-in-law, J., was filling in. He called A. on the phone, handed it off to me. A. and I visited for a few minutes, much like we used to, back when I was an undergraduate ghostwriting monthly letters to antique dealers on his behalf. We met because he and his late wife, P., were alums of my alma mater; I was the recipient of the first award named for his wife, the first recipient after her passing. And I thanked him with a letter. He invited me to lunch at the Kabob House, and so on. Over the phone, A. said he was disappointed to miss us Saturday, but he hoped we would return this week to have lunch with him. He was giving a talk on chemistry to a group of boy scouts in the afternoon. Couldn't be at the gallery Saturday for that reason.
J. showed us the 3x5 rugs in the shop. A new shipment is scheduled for tomorrow--A. already encouraged me to come back then--but J. wanted to familiarize us with the inventory, with the factors that might affect our choice. And nobody else was in the place; we had time. I don't have a strong handle on the discourse surrounding Persian rugs. They are named by region, and the regions are subtle, varying from town to town. The rugs signify an incredibly rich range of details--about the makers, the pace and process of making, the quality of wool, the colors of die, the age of the piece, the elevation and climate of the environment in which it was made, and the disposition of the maker(s) to symmetry and structure, both in art, and as J. suggested, in civic ideology (where regional variation might be best polled through knot patterns). I know this last bit seems like a stretch, but as D. and I listened to J. talk for twenty or thirty minutes on Saturday morning, I thought about the importance of reading Middle Eastern (as in East-Turkish, Armenia, Iranian, Afghani, Pakistani, Iraqi) cultures through art-objects such as knotted wool rugs. This seemed like a promising, humanistic alternative to the predictable, often villainizing droll sent through major Western news media.
So we just listened about the rugs as J. told us that Western buyers generally preferred tidy symmetries, neat symbolic systems (depictions of leaves, flowers, balanced shapes), and complimentary color schemes. He said it was a European notion to hang a rug as a piece of art, and that rugs were commonly collaborative household or neighborhood projects produced for short-term economic reward (spare money for this or that). He compared these dynamics to manufactured rugs coming from India and China. These rugs ship in batches that often follow an identical pattern. They're all hand-made, but the wool is a lower quality (again, in J.'s opinion), which is why A.'s gallery doesn't carry any such items. A couple of examples he showed us were really peculiar; one was 35 inches on one end and 42 inches on the other end. It had a broken border and different colored dies--evidence, J. said, that it was probably a training rug where younger makers were learning to knot or where the rug sat idle for long interruptions, long breaks.
We left Saturday and headed to the Kabob House (it's on Wornall and 87th or so), filled up on Kansas City's best joojeh kabob, barg, and tardig (crusted rice, bottom of the pot) topped with vegetable stew. And the house dressing is simply dill weed, olive oil and lemon juice. I could drink it. But then I wouldn't need the tea, which is best taken with an occasional sugar cube. Oh, and the ground sumac peppered generously on top of it all. That's it. I'm going to call A. and go back tomorrow.Posted by Derek Mueller at March 8, 2004 10:14 PM to Gobstuff

Doesn't a town with 343 days of sunshine a year and an average temperature of 75 degrees sound like the ideal place to get lost? Perhaps that is what motivated early Spanish visitors to name it Perdido Key. The literal translation is "Lost Key."
While it is only a short drive across the bridges that link Perdido Key to the rest of Northwest Florida and to neighboring Alabama, once here you will feel like you've discovered a hidden treasure, a laid-back lifestyle, a place you'll want to call home. Once here, you'll understand the desire to get lost in Perdido Key.

Pinot Noir Shines on the Edge in Prince Edward County
Like many wine lovers, my first great tasting experience was a Pinot Noir. I remember it well: a Frédéric Magnien Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes. It was this wine that made me stop and think—there is something special here that cannot be described in words, but only through experience. It was one of those revelatory moments that made me fall in love with wine. However, I found it astonishing that the next time I had another such experience with Pinot Noir, it was not from Burgundy, but from Prince Edward County, Canada.

The Lauber L-ENZ drying unit provides a complete solution for drying bulk biomass fuels, the L-ENZ can come either with or without a housing in various sizes.
The installed frequency transformers means electrical consumption is extremely low. To dry wood chips from W50 to W20, electricity consumption is approx. 3 – 4 kWh per m³ wood chips. On average only 1 – 3% electrical performance is needed to use 100% thermal heating.
Essentially the L-ENZ is an energy transfer station converting hot water into hot air, but at the correct pressure, temperature and timing to optimise the drying process according to both fuel type and heat source.
The L-ENZ controls are state of the art touch screen technology allowing precise control and constant maintenance of efficiency through frequency modulated fans and pumps.
Energy Navigation Zone
The L-ENZ, in connection with roller containers, is a powerful drying system designed to cure coarse bulk materials. The heart of the plant is the Energy Navigation Zone which is designed to utilise any available excess heat. For example heat from intensive production processes or the spare capacity of a boiler based heating system can be used. The L-ENZ produces hot air and distributes it to the connected drying containers controlling air flow, air pressure and temperature. The typical drying time for woodchips from fresh to 10% is approximately 2 days.
The L-ENZ range can be supplied without the housing if suitable weather protection is provided on site.
The L-ENZ works in connection with hook lift containers of drying floor panels which are equipped with a special universal drying floor to allow air to pass through the load from underneath.
The warm air produced by the L-ENZ is pressed into the ventilation system through flexible hoses. To connect several containers at a time a ridged air channel can be deployed. A L-ENZ 370 for example can be connected to up to eight containers of firewood.
The containers are used both for drying as well as for transport and delivery. This makes it possible that wood is chipped straight into the container and delivered after drying without reloading.
The L-ENZ is delivered ready for connection with the technology room and the flexible control system. The high quality components including the radial fan, two frequency changers, circulation pump, the heater battery and heating controls are already installed. Also available on delivery are maintenance doors, fork lift pockets and hoisting eyes.
Docking Station with Guide Rails (optional)
A docking station (with guide rails to position containers) facilitates easy connection of containers to the air channel. A connected container will automatically be recognised and the drying started.
Touch Screen Panel (optional)
Access a visualisation and control of all drying data with a 7"-touch panel for convenient handling and a clear overview.
- Electrical regulation of adjustable air valves for automatic drying with timer operation (additional needed: motor for each air valve).
- Containers can be controlled individually via time program (optional)

Most of you know my famously stylish sister, Leslie.
Well, she sent Miss Stella a package filled with the loveliest things--
like handmade wool felt shoes, leg warmers,
and a darling pillow that is almost bigger than Stella.
Of course all of the gifts were wrapped to perfection in beautiful paper.
Thanks, Les.
As you can plainly see, Stella loves her presents.

Business Need: The client wanted to move its enterprise email archiving solution from being outsourced and on end-of-life software (CommonStore for Lotus Domino) to residing in-house and leveraging state-of-the-art software. Key concerns included:
- The substantial quantity of data to be migrated – approximately 38TB and 380 million emails
- Chain-of-custody and auditing to ensure defensibility
- User satisfaction during the migration
- User satisfaction with the improved solution
- Improved eDiscovery capabilities
- Cost efficiencies
Integro provided a services and software solution consisting of Integro Email Migration Assistant, IBM's FileNet software, and Integro services.
First, Integro designed and architected a new highly-scalable and reliable email management solution to support 25,000 users. Integro then planned, designed, and implemented the migration infrastructure and processes, including testing and batch migrations. All 380 million emails were successfully migrated at an error rate of less than 1%. Integro provided chain-of-custody reporting throughout the process and the integrity of every email migrated was protected – emails were not changed in any way.
Without Integro's Email Migration Assistant (IEMA) software, this large of an email migration would have been highly cumbersome, slow, and likely untenable. IEMA is the only product on the market that helps companies migrate large quantities of email, quickly and securely, from IBM CommonStore or IBM Content Collector. It provides the benefits of speed, ease-of-use, reporting, and more.
The client is extremely happy with the end results. In addition to cost savings realized via the new state-of-the-art solution, Legal has improved eDiscovery capabilities through eDiscovery Manager. Additionally, user satisfaction is up across all stakeholders, including IT, Legal, Information Governance, and individual email users. Users are pleased with the improved access and search ability within their own email repositories, which was very limited under the old solution.
Client Profile
A leading financial services firm with 25,000 employees worldwide.

It's never the things that you think will make you cry that actually bring the tears. It's always something stupid like broken plans, or a parking ticket. For the past month and a half, I have been carrying around a load of hurt so heavy that I feel like if I try to put it down, it will crush me. I don't often cry these days; in fact I think I cry less than I did before. And when I do cry, it's not about that heavy, heavy hurt. It's about the disappointment of not being able to move into my new place early, or a stupid comment from a coworker. Once the tears start coming, though, it's all about Dad, and it comes from somewhere so deep in my guts that it actually feels like it's being yanked out of me.
This week, there's been a little of mom, too. Tonight I was recounting to a friend one of my favorite memories of my mother. We were driving in her old black MG (red leather interior), and she had on a flowy head scarf and big sunglasses–the same ones she was wearing in the one picture I have of my parents happy together. We were on a dirt road in Edgartown, going to visit Jim Blaine, her boyfriend at the time, who lived out in the boonies and looked a lot like my dad. It was hot summer, and I was five or so and probably barefoot, and the radio was on loud playing Tina Turner's "Private Dancer," and my mom was singing along. I don't know what we did after we got there, and I don't think it much matters, because the drive itself was obviously more memorable.
I didn't realize at first that Wednesday was my mother's anniversary. I woke up that day in a funk, something more than what I've been feeling. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. My best friend was in a funk, too, and she couldn't explain it either. We laid on the floor in her basement apartment and didn't really talk to each other for an hour. Then we bought pets to cheer ourselves up, but it didn't last long. I had hoped to hang out with another friend that evening, but they had other plans, and when I snapped my phone shut from reading the message, I burst into tears. The first four or five tears were probably about disappointment, but the rest were about, to quote an old poem, the empty spot that's so big I should give it a name, and address, an area code. I should have my mail forwarded there.
The next morning I was having coffee with my sister, who it turned out had had an equally horrible Wednesday. At one point, she turned to me in the car and said, "You know what yesterday was, don't you?" And then the heavy icky feeling and the sensitivity and the piles of tears made sense. On some subconscious level, I think I had known. And for the first time, I was feeling the loss of them both–at the same time.
I cried today, too. This time it started with a mild case of the cold shoulder, and ended with a crying jag in my best friend's shop that lasted half an hour and somehow ended with me designing a T-shirt in memory of my father and laughing about how funny he would have found it. After I let the big guns out, I didn't care so much about the brushoff anymore. It was like I'd somehow been recalibrated. I almost wanted to thank the offender for helping me to cry. I'm tempted to contract people to hurt my feelings in some small way once a day, so I can get this heavy hurt off my back faster.
I haven't felt like myself the past few days. I've felt completely uncomfortable in my body, and in my life. Not unhappy with either, just uncomfortable, like shoes that haven't been broken in yet. I need to break in my new life. I need to take pictures with my new camera and cook dinner in my new apartment, and bring home the first paycheck from one of my two new jobs. I need to remind myself that if something won't matter a week from now, it's probably not worth getting upset about now. I need to speak at my father's memorial service if I can hold it together long enough, and I need to go through his closet and find an old sweatshirt that I can wear when I'm down and keep until it falls apart from wear. I need to start believing that he's gone. And I need to cry about it.

How Meditation Changed My Life Positively
By Robin Liu
SoulCentre Certified Meditation Teacher
30th November 2018
Learning meditation for my own growth and benefit, and eventually becoming a teacher who could teach this valuable skill to others, changed my life beyond belief.
Learning and practicing meditation daily is one of the greatest skills that I have acquired, and being a meditation teacher allows me to use this skill to scale even greater heights. To become a meditation teacher who can teach this ancient wisdom convincingly and confidently while exhibiting authenticity, one has to walk the talk. Hence, much effort is invested into understanding, applying and practicing the wisdom and tools in my own life. This resulted in me enjoying maximum benefits of meditation and wisdom. I will mention some of these benefits below, but first let me touch on the 3 main changes I experienced by becoming a certified meditation teacher at SoulCentre under my wisdom coach Vikas Malkani.
One of the main changes I experienced while training to become a meditation teacher, is gaining such in-depth knowledge that meditation literally becomes a second nature. It is one thing to practice and understand the wisdom and techniques of meditation, but it is another to be able to communicate it effectively to another person, and explaining it well so as not to let my own wisdom lineage and mentor down. Hence, for me the learning does not stop with completing all the necessary classes and certification criteria, but is a continuous learning process through observing my teacher in action, reading the recommended wisdom texts and books, and deeper research into various aspects of meditation.
During this continuous learning process, the changes in my outlook on the purpose of life become even more profound. These changes allowed me to remain focused and find a positive perspective in any negative situation or environment. This massively improved the relationship I have with people I work with, and more importantly, my family. It also helped me to remain grounded with focus and clarity when I started to create a business of my own.
The most distinct positive change I noticed in me when I become a meditation teacher was that my confidence exploded. Having to teach others and be accountable for what you teach is such a great privilege and responsibility; imagine the impact of this thought on my confidence. I can humbly say that my confidence grew 10X during my training to become a meditation teacher and soon after that when I started teaching this wisdom to others.
And because of the clarity I have experienced through my own meditation practice, I know that wisdom and meditation is what I have to bring to the world. As I started teaching and delivered talks on the topic of meditation, my confidence increased even further. The more I teach, the more confident I become, which then leads me to teaching even more. It has become a virtuous cycle of life and I am growing on a daily basis.
Everyone must learn Meditation as it gives us so many benefits. As my teacher Vikas Malkani has mentioned many times, meditation is probably one of most important life skills that one can acquire to go through life with happiness, inner peace and success. It is wrong to see meditation from a religious point of view, because in reality meditation is a systematic and scientific process of understanding ourselves and training our mind and emotions to create the results we want in our life.
Many of the benefits of meditation have been proven scientifically and also backed by evidence from medical, neuroscience and psychological research.
Here are some of the benefits that I have personally experienced from bringing meditation into my daily life:
1) Increased Self Awareness - I better understand myself in why I speak, think, act and feel the way I do in situations. This allows me to have better control of myself and get better results in both positive and negative situations;
2) Improved Relationships - I stopped judging people and situations. Instead of judging, I learnt to accept the situation and people as what they are, look for the positive in them and choose my responses. It stops me from reacting, being triggered and losing control of my thoughts and actions;
3) Stable Emotions - With mediation, I am better at managing my own emotions. This comes about with an increased self-awareness, being able to have the clarity and having the presence of mind to first accept the situation as it is, before choosing the best action to take;
4) Improved Focus - Meditation practice teaches a person to focus. Being able to focus enabled me to cut through the clutter and regroup my mind once it starts to dart from one thing to another. This skill allows me to complete my tasks faster and become more efficient; and
5) Inner Peace - With meditation, I am able to allow my mind to rest and always have the opportunity to slow down. This brings peace to my mind that results in happiness and well-being emitting from within. This deep sense of peace and well-being can be achieved by anyone with regular practice of meditation.
Meditation is one of the best skills that I have learnt, and becoming a meditation teacher at SoulCentre with Vikas as my teacher, is one of the best decisions I have made.
I have reaped many benefits on this journey of meditation, of which I have only listed 5. I highly recommend anyone who has not learnt meditation to start doing so as soon as possible
The sooner you start training your mind with meditation, the sooner you can master your destiny!

So pretty!! And crazy enough, I have a few things in my closet from college too! ;)ReplyDelete
Hotel Hershey!!!! This is one of my favorite places to eat. On Friday nights my family and I would always go here and listen to the jazz bands in the summertime. I took photos here too a couple years back at my cousin's wedding, but they never made it to the blog b/c I hated how my face looked in them...haha. One of these days...I want to get back here:)ReplyDelete
Anyhow, you look so pretty as always and I do love that skirt. I have several college pieces in my closet still too...some things are just too hard to get rid of. Gorgeous photos Katherine! xx
The skirt is really cute on you! I don't think it's age-inappropriate at all. The way you styled it makes it look very age appropriate. I don't know why you haven't gotten much use out of the bag though - the red is such a striking color against any outfit :)ReplyDelete

sometimes there are certain pieces that you just can't seem to get rid of, even if you don't wear them as much as you used to, there's something that it symbolizes more, you know? I definitely have a few things like that! Anyways, it's a darling skirt -- and that bag! Lovely!ReplyDelete
Don't you just love finding things in your closet.ReplyDelete

I love the last photo! The staircase is gorgeous. I have things I bought when I was in my 2nd year of undergrad and I can't get rid of it for some reason. The crossbody bag looks great, but I know what it's like to have deceivingly small bags! argh!ReplyDelete

Nef the Pharaoh became a local hit with his ode to the Big Tymers, aptly titled "Big Tymin." That record is still getting plays in the Bay Area, and its success even led to a Ty Dolla $ign and YG co-sign as the two rappers appeared on Nef's "Big Tymin" remix.
Now Nef the Pharaoh is preparing to release a self-titled EP, and he gives us the premiere of another banger that'll appear on the EP. "Boss Me." "Boss Me" follows a similar formula as "Big Tymin," relying on a catchy phrase for the hook and blatantly West Coast production. Nef is playful with his flow, while production comes from Juneonnabeat.
You can pre-order Nef the Pharoah on iTunes below. It drops on November 6th.
Quotable Lyrics
Damn freak, suck me til the white leak
Every time I bust a nut she swallow it like a drink
Every time I put it in her tonsils I'm outta pocket

The Nile crocodile is one of the planet's most feared apex predators. There is no record of humans diving with these magnificent and yet utterly terrifying creatures… until now. In an incredible one-hour special, wildlife photographer Roger Horrocks and world-renowned, underwater cameraman Didier Noiret travel to Botswana's Okavango Delta to go INTO THE DRAGON'S LAIR. Premiering Wednesday, July 27 at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT on Animal Planet, Horrocks and Noiret set out to prove that Nile crocodiles have onlyinvoluntarily displayed predatory behaviours towards people and normally do not consider human beings as intentional prey.
The "Dragon's Lair" is an underwater labyrinth of tunnels and chambers, made by hippos and crocodiles, through the dense papyrus beds of the Okavango Delta. The waters of the Nile are pitch black; inside the endless labyrinth, visibility is poor and there is no easy way out. Animals can sense fear and these underwater adventurers know that one wrong move could end it all.
Making the conscious decision to enter croc-infested waters to capture never-before-seen footage of these almost-prehistoric reptiles in their natural habitat is what Horrocks considers "a calculated risk to experience what it is to be human." And now, with these two adventurers at the mercy of crocodiles and with the constant threat of encountering menacing hippos, Horrocks and Noiret dive largely unprotected. They must fight to control their fear and panic with only their cameras and occasionally an unloaded spear gun to defend themselves. Undeterred by danger, the pair undertakes the ultimate challenge, embarking on a perilous and unpredictable odyssey as they go INTO THE DRAGON'S LAIR.

The Pristine Seas team explored the Pitcairn Islands throughout April, 2012, surveying and studying the rich diversity of underwater life in this extremely remote environment. Every day though, there were stunning sights and inspiring views to be found above the waves as well.
This gallery is a tribute to the often tiny, sometimes huge, worlds of interest that opened up every time something caught our eyes and we stopped to get closer and take a good long look.

Galveston 6 String Reviews
EBay, $200 and change with shipping
Galveston, Venson, Dean, Carlo Robelli (Sam Ash's house-brand), and a few others I can't think of at the moment...Sungbo makes low-end guitars and basses for all of them. I might just hit them up for an endorsement if I ever make it big. I'll be buying one of their 12 string basses shortly. If this bass is half as good as the ones that they retail then their top shelf stuff must be phenomenal; the only thing keeping anyone from getting one will be personal playing style. If nothing else, give one a try before dropping a grand on something else just so you know for sure.zeno_upside_down rated this unit on 2004-11-05.

Amidst overflowing landfills and trash containers, a concept known as "zero waste" is taking hold in school cafeterias, national parks, restaurants, stadiums and corporations, according to a recent New York Times article.
"Nobody wants a landfill sited anywhere near them, including in rural areas," said Jon D. Johnston, a materials management branch chief for the Environmental Protection Agency who is helping to lead the zero-waste movement in the Southeast. "We've come to this realization that landfill is valuable and we can't bury things that don't need to be buried."
The concept of zero waste is simple: Produce less waste by staying away from anything that doesn't biodegrade and by recycling or composting everything possible.
But, the zero-waste phenomenon is about more than just NIMBY-esque feelings over landfills. Organic waste stuck in oxygen-depleted landfills releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, so it's important that methane production is reduced in every way possible – no small feat for a country where every U.S. citizen produces about 4.6 pounds of trash per day, according to the EPA.
But several places are making the impossible seem possible.
One is Ecco, an Atlanta-based restaurant where seasonally inspired food scraps are dumped into five-gallon pails and composted.
Another is Yellowstone National Park, where campers and nature enthusiasts can use biodegradable cups and utensils instead of their plastic counterparts.
But one of the most impressive examples of the possibilities of a zero waste society is found in Nantucket, off the coast of Massachusetts.
There, residents concerned about tax increases for new landfills and to ship waste to the mainland decided more than a decade ago to move to a no-holds-barred trash policy. As a result, recycling is mandated not only for the typical items like aluminum, glass and paper, but also tires, batteries and household appliances, according to the Times.
Residents can also drop off books, clothing and other reusable items at the local recycling and disposal complex for others to take home.
The transition to regularly sorting trash and delivering it to the complex has gone over well for most residents, said Jim Lentowski, executive director of the nonprofit Nantucket Conservation Foundation and a year-round resident since 1971.
Thanks to the residents' efforts, only about 8 percent of waste goes to the landfill, compared to 66 percent for Massachusetts' residents.
Other areas, like San Francisco, are also stepping up their composting efforts. As MNN has reported, the famously green city recently became the first city in the nation to require people to properly dispose of their organic garbage waste.
Despite these recent successes, transitioning to a zero-waste society won't be entirely easy, mostly because it requires some thought on the part of its citizens. For example, those who improperly place biodegradable plastics in the wrong recycling containers can gum up operations, which can be costly and time-consuming.
Though clearer labeling for biodegradable items would help this problem, the real challenge is to get people to actually think about where their waste is going.
"Technology exists, but a lot of education still needs to be done," said Johnston of the EPA.

He went on to study for a Bachelor of Commerce Degree at Meru University, which he was awarded three years ago.
Karibuni funded his Bachelor degree, but on cost grounds we have a policy to finance only one such qualification per young person.
However, Robert has now graduated with a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) Finance Option!
He financed the degree himself, by taking part time jobs, including lecturing at the University.
What an achievement, congratulations Robert!
