Know-how can get rid of a lot of tedious, routine labor — a way of life payoff that may assist persuade a youthful era to remain placed on household farms slightly than promote out.
BULGER, Pa. — About 150 Jersey cows within the rolling terrain at Rivendale Farms in Bulger, some 25 miles west of Pittsburgh, put on FitBit-like collars that monitor their motion, consuming and rumination patterns. They're milked not by people however by robotic machines.
A close-by greenhouse, about a quarter-acre in measurement and full of salad-bowl crops like kale, arugula and child carrots, is automated. The temperature, humidity and daylight are managed by sensors and retractable metallic screens. And shortly, small robots might roam the farm's eight acres of vegetable crops outdoor to identify illness and pluck weeds.
Farming in America is more and more a high-tech endeavor. Combines guided by GPS, drones, satellite tv for pc imagery, soil sensors and supercomputers all assist the nation's meals manufacturing. But that know-how is especially tailor-made for giant industrial farms, the place fields stretch so far as the attention can see.
Rivendale Farms, which has simply accomplished its first yr of full operations, presents a glimpse of know-how coming obtainable for smaller farms.
Know-how for large farms is all about growing yields and slicing prices. For smaller farms, too, effectivity is paramount. However know-how may also remove a lot of tedious, routine labor — a way of life payoff that may assist persuade a youthful era to remain placed on household farms fairly than promote out.
Smaller farms sometimes increase specialty crops on restricted acreage. Specialty farming requires a scaled-down strategy, just like the small robots being developed for Rivendale by scientists at close by Carnegie Mellon College and the increasing array of kit from the "slow tools" motion, a group of farmers and engineers designing reasonably priced instruments for small farms.
Rivendale can afford its mixture of cutting-edge business know-how and science experiments as a result of Tull is a billionaire serial entrepreneur, investor in tech-related ventures and former movie producer. He's additionally on the board of Carnegie Mellon. He has spent a number of million dollars on Rivendale thus far. However the plan, Tull stated, is for the farm to develop into self-sustaining by 2020.
So Rivendale can attempt extra issues directly than others can. However its efforts, specialists say, are a part of a broader development amongst small farmers looking for to boost wholesome meals and livestock utilizing much less fossil gasoline, fertilizer and processed feed.
"We're seeing greater use of modern technology and tools in smaller, soil-based farming, and that vision is being wholeheartedly embraced at Rivendale," stated Jack Algiere, farm director at Stone Barns Middle for Meals and Agriculture, a nonprofit farm in Pocantico Hills, New York, that has been a main advocate for sustainable agriculture on small farms.
Tull purchased the land in 2015, and development began the subsequent yr. It's now a diversified operation with milking cows, breeding cows, vegetable crops, corn for feed, chickens, even honeybees.
Rivendale, together with pasture land, cowl crops and woods, spans 175 acres. Farming in America has been consolidating for many years, with the typical measurement of a farm being 444 acres in 2017, in response to authorities statistics. And greater than half of the worth produced by the nation's agricultural sector is generated by a small fraction of very giant farms, 2,660 acres on common.
Rivendale's milk, eggs and produce are bought to native eating places and motels. It additionally provides meals to the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers, during which Tull is a part-owner.
Stroll into the dairy barn at Rivendale and there are not any individuals — solely cows, an automated feed system and three robotic milking machines.

The Rivendale cows are milked 4 occasions a day on common, once they really feel prepared, in contrast with the normal twice-a-day routine when people handle the milking. And its Jersey cows produce 15 % extra milk than the typical for the breed, with a larger protein and butterfat content material, stated Christine Grady, basic supervisor of Rivendale.
It takes a week or two for the cows to get accustomed to the robotic milkers and the built-in incentives, stated Rodney Rankin, who leads the dairy operations. The milking stations have vanilla-flavored feed pellets, however a cow can't simply come again repeatedly for the treats. Sensors and a scale — a cow's weight can range by as much as 75 kilos in a day — forestall cows with out fairly full udders from getting in.
As soon as the cow is within the stall, the teats and udder are washed with little rotary brushes. Lasers scan and information the milk suction units onto every of the 4 teats. Milking time is six minutes on common. On the finish, the cow is sprayed with iodine and steam to wash its udder.
Robotic milkers have been out there for years. However the know-how has steadily improved, requiring far much less human help than a few years in the past.
The machines value about $200,000 every. With out them, and an automated feeding system, the milking barn at Rivendale would require 5 staff as an alternative of being primarily overseen by one, Grady stated.

The Rivendale robotic milking machines are made by Lely, a Dutch firm and a chief within the business. In some European nations, as much as 30 % of the cows are milked by machine, whereas in the USA the share is about 2 %, estimates Mathew Haan, a dairy know-how skilled at Pennsylvania State College's agriculture extension program.
The hole, Haan stated, is essentially defined by extra beneficiant packages that help milk costs in addition to greater labor prices than in America. These two elements have inspired funding in automation in Europe.

In the USA, even large-herd producers with hundreds of cows in California, which have been labor-intensive operations, are starting to attempt robotic milking machines. That's pushed partly by altering immigration insurance policies which will create a scarcity of farmworkers. However up to now, the primary market has been smaller operations with 120 to 240 milking cows, stated Steve Fried, Lely's North American gross sales supervisor.
George Kantor, a senior methods scientist at Carnegie Mellon's robotics institute, is main the trouble at Rivendale to develop "scouting robots" to determine illness and weeds within the vegetable subject, and then ship smartphone alerts if there's a drawback.
His staff did area work and collected knowledge within the fall, then shifted to a college lab for the winter. Pc imaginative and prescient and machine studying, Kantor stated, might be deployed to differentiate wholesome crops from diseased ones and weeds.
A subsequent step can be to eliminate weeds. Natural farming avoids pesticides. And digging up or pulling weeds, Kantor stated, would require hand-like greedy and holding, a extra daunting robotic process, the place progress has been slower.
Some know-how at Rivendale is extra neat hack than high-tech. Susanna Meyer, head of crop manufacturing, is keen on a greens cutter whose engine is a battery-powered electrical drill, and a small electrical tiller referred to as the Tillie — one of many slow-tools implements.

Michael McGowen, a former employees scientist at Los Alamos Nationwide Laboratory, purchased a farm in Oregon a decade in the past, began rising greens and discovered there have been no reasonably priced instruments for small farms. So he designed his personal together with the Tillie, whose primary mannequin sells for $495, and arrange a enterprise, Carts and Instruments, in Corvallis, Oregon.
Johnny's Chosen Seeds, a main distributor of the small-scale farming instruments, has seen that enterprise improve fivefold over the previous 10 years, stated Adam Lemieux, the corporate's product supervisor for instruments and provides.
To most longtime farmers, AI stands for synthetic insemination, not digital wizardry. However a new era of household farmers is welcoming robotic assistants and smartphone apps.
"They have a different mindset, and they are all trying to figure out a path ahead for their family farms and where technology fits in," stated Jeff Ainslie, a vice chairman of Purple Barn Consulting, which advises household farmers.
Scott Flory is one among them. After incomes his diploma in dairy science from Virginia Tech, Flory returned to his household farm in Dublin, Virginia, in 2009, with concepts for modernizing its operations.
Since then, the farm has put in 4 of the Lely robotic milkers, outfitted the cows with exercise trackers and doubled the variety of its milking cows to 240, with out including staff. The farm stays virtually completely a household affair, run by him, his spouse, Laura, and his mother and father, Dale and Janet.
"I wouldn't be in the dairy business today without this stuff," stated Flory, who's 30.
At Rivendale, Tull, the proprietor, has little question that advancing know-how will rework smaller farms sometime.

Iconography: Images of the Life Cycle (Vita) of Saint Nicholas in the Shrine of Saint Nicholas at Ground Zero
IMAGES OF THE LIFE CYCLE (VITA) OF SAINT NICHOLAS IN THE SHRINE OF SAINT NICHOLAS AT GROUND ZERO
In past issues of the Newsletter, the significance of including images from the Life Cycle (Vita) within the iconographic program of the Shrine of Saint Nicholas was highlighted. In addition to being the Patron Saint of the Shrine, Saint Nicholas is recognized as one of our most popular saints, venerated for his great intercessory powers. He is especially remembered as a holy hierarch who rescues innocent individuals from dangers and acts as a great intercessor at tribunals for those wrongly condemned. With respect to this latter aspect, scholars have shown that the Saint is particularly regarded as a most powerful advocate for the dead at the Last Judgment. For this reason, various sacred depictions from his Life were painted as cycles in numerous churches across the Byzantine/Orthodox commonwealth, often placed in spaces where intercessory prayers for the dead were conducted. Given the particular history of Ground Zero and the traumatic events of 9/11 when thousands of innocent people lost their lives, it is most appropriate, therefore, to have scenes from the Life Cycle of Saint Nicholas in prominent positions within the Shrine.
Traditional Byzantine examples of the pictorial Life Cycle of Saint Nicholas are drawn from various written hagiographic texts or Vitae of the Saint composed over different centuries. The number of visual representations of any particular cycle vary depending on the available space within a specific church or the size of the icon on which the Cycle appears framing the central figure of the Saint. The Life Cycle of Saint Nicholas in our Shrine consists of seven scenes, all inspired from traditional Byzantine models, the earliest examples of which belong to the 11th century. These include the Birth of Saint Nicholas; the Ordination of Saint Nicholas to the Episcopacy; Saint Nicholas Appearing in a Dream to the Eparch Ablabios & the Sainted Emperor Constantine; Saint Nicholas Rescuing Three Innocent Men from Execution; Saint Nicholas and the Dowry; the Sea Miracle; and the Dormition (Koimesis) of Saint Nicholas.
The Birth of Saint Nicholas:
This image was presented and described last December but is incorporated again here briefly to present the Life Cycle of the Shrine in its entirety. This scene is found on the south wall of the nave, at the lower left, and below the image of the Nativity of Christ. In this image, one observes servants tending to the Saint's pious mother, Nonna, following the birth of her child. At the right is the bathing of the infant Saint Nicholas by the midwives, just as in the image of the Nativity of Christ. Here, however, the newborn Saint is depicted standing upright on his own. This iconographic detail is found in most depictions of the Birth of Saint Nicholas and is based on the hagiographic text of his Vita or Life which recounts how during his first bath, he miraculously stood up on his own, testifying to the child's exceptional character and sanctity. This depiction is based upon that found in the 14th-century church of Saint Demetrios- Markov Manastir, in what is now North Macedonia.
The Ordination of Saint Nicholas to the Episcopacy:
Due to limitations of space and for the sake of brevity, the scenes of Saint Nicholas' ordinations to the diaconate and the priesthood, which appear in a number of the historical Cycles, have been omitted here. The depiction of his ordination to the episcopacy is placed on the lower right side of the south wall. Here, Saint Nicholas appears standing at the center of the scene, with his head bowed towards the presiding bishop, who is seated upon a raised podium and blesses the Saint as the new bishop of Myra, in the presence of two other bishops and clergy. The inclusion of the other hierarchs is in keeping with the liturgical requirements and rites of a hierarchical ordination in which at least three bishops are required to ordain a candidate to the episcopal office. In the image, Saint Nicholas and the other hierarchs all wear the cross-decorated omophorion, the insignia of the episcopal office. The omophorion derives its name from the Greek word omos (shoulder), indicating this piece of liturgical garb is worn "on the shoulder" (omophorion). It corresponds to the western liturgical garment of the pallium. Traditionally, the omophorion was made of wool, symbolizing the fleece of the lost sheep that Christ as the Good Shepherd (Luke 15:1-3 and John 10:1-21), raises on His shoulders, returning it to the flock. The omophorion, as symbol and metaphor, links any bishop to Christ, as a good shepherd caring for his flock of the faithful. Behind the Saint is the altar table, with the Gospel Book, surmounted by a marble ciborium (canopy), a common liturgical furnishing of Byzantine sanctuaries. In his Commentary on the Divine Liturgy (Historia Ecclesiastica), Saint Germanos, the 8th-century Patriarch of Constantinople, wrote that the ciborium symbolizes the holy place where Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected and at the same time it refers to the Ark of the Covenant and Holy of Holies of the Old Testament Temple (Exodus 25). These architectural details signify that the ordination occurs within the sanctuary of the church. The scene here is based upon that found in the fresco cycle of the Life of Saint Nicholas in the 14th-century church of Saint Nicholas Orphanos in Thessalonike.
Saint Nicholas Appears to the Eparch Ablabios & to Saint Constantine the Emperor:
This scene, located on the lower left side of the west wall conflates two related events from the Life of the Saint. To the left, three generals are shown imprisoned in Constantinople. Their feet are bound in stocks. These three generals were loyal supporters of the Emperor and had put down a revolt in Phrygia. When triumphantly returning to the Capital, envious men slandered and falsely denounced them to the eparch of the City, Ablabios, who then convinced Emperor Constantine to imprison them as traitors and to be executed. The three generals, in their distress, prayed to Saint Nicholas. Above them, Saint Nicholas is shown appearing before Ablabios at night while he had been sleeping and orders the release of the generals. To the right, Saint Nicholas is seen also appearing during the same night to Saint Constantine and again orders the release of the innocent generals. The emperor's chamber here is an elaborate canopy, crowned by three turrets. This conflated representation draws upon the 14th-century examples found in the churches of Saint Nicholas Orphanos in Thessalonike and that of Saint Nicholas in Ramaća, Serbia.
Saint Nicholas Rescues Three Innocent Men from Execution:
This depiction is placed on the lower right side of the west wall of the nave. The image depicts the event in which Saint Nicholas was informed that three innocent men were about to be executed by beheading at Myra. The execution was to take place just outside the city walls, as indicated by the representation of the city in the background at the right. Upon the Saint's' arrival to the site, he found the three men blindfolded and bound for execution and the executioner about to behead them. The Saint then grabbed the sword and thwarted the execution. The scene in the Shrine is based upon that found in the 14th-century Saint Nicholas cycle of the church of Saint George, in Staro Nagoričino, North Macedonia.
Saint Nicholas Provides the Dowry for Three Maidens:
The depiction of this episode from the Life of Saint Nicholas is located on the lower left of the north wall of the nave. This is probably the most well-known of the Saint's salutary interventions, associating him with gift-giving and the Christmas season. According to the various texts of the Vita, a certain poor man in Myra could not support or provide doweries for his three daughters and, therefore, he was going to hire them out for prostitution. Saint Nicholas learned of this and one night came secretly to the house and threw a bag of gold coins through the window. The next day the father found the gold and was able to provide for the marriage of one of the daughters. The Saint came secretly a second night and provided another gift of gold and the father subsequently arranged for the second daughter's marriage. On the third night, when Saint Nicholas came to give the gold for the third daughter's dowry, the father remained awake to learn who the benefactor was. When the Saint threw in the third bag of gold, the father ran outside and discovered Saint Nicholas and offered his thanks. The Saint ordered the man not to speak of this to anyone so that his great act of charity would remain anonymous. In this image, the Saint is shown about to throw a bag of gold through the window while the father and three daughters are asleep within the house. This representation is adapted from that found in the 14th-century Cycle of Saint Nicholas in the church of Saint Nicholas Orphanos in Thessalonike.
The Sea Miracle:
This scene is found on the lower right side of the north wall of the nave. In the Vita or Life of Saint Nicholas there are several accounts recorded associating the Saint with various miracles occurring at sea. For this reason he has been regarded as the patron Saint of sailors in particular, and all travelers in general. Among the surviving Byzantine painted examples of the Life, it is often difficult to determine which maritime episode is presented. At times, there are examples of conflated episodes within one visual rendering.
Our scene in the Shrine presents elements from several maritime episodes involving the Saint calming storms and rescuing sea travelers. It incorporates details that closely follow those found in the 14th-century churches of Saint Nicholas Orphanos in Thessalonike and that of the church of the Ascension in Dečani, Kosovo. Here, however, the Shrine's image, has been adapted to the site-specific, historical, traumatic events of 9/11: the danger of the storm and the turbulent waves are metaphors for the horrific attacks on the Twin Towers of Manhattan's World Trade Center. One can discern the skyline of Manhattan, the struck, burning Twin Towers billowing forth smoke, while below them is visible the white structure of the original Saint Nicholas church on Cedar Street, before its destruction in the wake of the collapse of the south Tower. Off to the left, are the flotilla of rescue boats crossing the Hudson River from New Jersey that heroically evacuated 500,000 people away from Ground Zero. Here, the Saint's traditional intercessory role of rescuing those who are in danger is linked to the historic, tragic events of 9/11: saving the lives of thousands and interceding for the souls of those who lost their lives on that horrific day.
The Dormition (Koimesis) of Saint Nicholas:
The scene of the Dormition of Saint Nicholas, which concludes the visual Life Cycle of the Saint in the Shrine, is located on the west wall of the nave, above the doors leading back into the narthex. It occupies the position that is often held by the image of the Dormition of the Theotokos in Orthodox churches. Likewise, iconographically the scene recalls that of the Dormition of the Theotokos. In this image, the Saint is depicted on his bier, dressed in his episcopal vestments and with the Gospel book placed in his crossed hands. Surrounding him are bishops, one with a censer with chains, another with a hand-censor, a priest, a deacon (also named Nicholas according to the Vita), and monastics. Three large candlestands with lit candles are placed before the bier, recalling the requirements prescribed by the rubrics of the funeral liturgy for a bishop or priest. One figure (most likely the Saint's brother, Artemas, the archimandrite, as the Vita recounts) leans closely over the body of the Saint as if to kiss the sacred body. This, too recalls a detail from the depiction of the Dormition of the Theotokos in which Saint John the Theologian reaches over to venerate the Mother of God. This rendition of the Dormition of Saint Nicholas closely follows the 16th-century fresco by Theophanes the Cretan in the church of Saint Nicholas on Meteora.
The Significance of the Shrine's Cycle:
Our abbreviated pictorial Cycle of the Life of Saint Nicholas begins and ends, naturally, with scenes of the holy hierarch's birth and dormition. The moment of his episcopal ordination is included since it is through this sacred office he is endowed with spiritual authority and sanctity which enable him to carry out his pastoral responsibilities as a most humble, faithful, dedicated, and loving shepherd towards his flock. The remaining chosen scenes were selected for their visual emphasis on the Saint's role as a sure rescuer of the innocent in times of danger and as a most powerful intercessor. When the faithful and visitors gaze upon the sacred images, they will immediately encounter and be reminded of the Saint's heroic deeds and at the same time receive great spiritual comfort in knowing that this holy hierarch rescued many from danger on the terrible day of 9/11, while he continuously intercedes not only on behalf of those who lost their lives that day but for all of us as we await the awesome day of the Last Judgment.

Influencing Gender Norms
EnglishBahasaTagalogBurmeseVietnamese
In Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar and Vietnam, we support Business Coalitions who work with influential businesses on shifting workplace cultures, practices and policy barriers to achieve workplace gender equality (WGE).
Leading businesses have significant power to effect change and influence society towards gender equality. There are significant benefits including: increased staff motivation; better talent management; higher productivity and performance; and improved reputation.
Studies show that companies with more equal representation of female and male board members outperform those with fewer women board members on return on invested capital by 26%. Yet, only 9% of directors on global corporate boards are women, and only 4% of Fortune 500 companies have a female CEO.
The Business Coalitions are driving change from the top, with CEOs making concrete commitments to gender equality, such as working towards equal pay, and creating an environment where women have as much opportunity as their male counterparts. They hold themselves accountable by measuring their progress against their commitments.
The Business Coalitions (BCs) provide customised advice and support to companies seeking to improve WGE and benefit from the positive impacts to their businesses. The BCs support companies seeking recognition of their commitment to gender equality by preparing them for certification under Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE), the global business certification standard for gender equality.
The Business Coalitions also work in partnership with the private sector and other stakeholders to advance public policy reforms that remove barriers to workplace gender equality.
The Business Coalitions are a voice for gender equality in the workplace, leading the way in their own businesses and acting as important advocates for women's economic empowerment.

Rain brings relief to fire-ravaged Australia but could hamper efforts to stamp out raging bushfires
Rain has brought some relief to fire-ravaged Australia but could actually hamper efforts to stamp out the raging bushfires ahead of temperatures soaring again this week.
Monday's rains down the east coast from Sydney to Melbourne cooled temperatures but experts said it would make lighting strategic fires more difficult with the heat returning on Thursday.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said there was no room for complacency. 'Unfortunately, overnight, it's become apparent that we have two people unaccounted for in New South Wales,' she said at a news conference.
It comes as experts described how two colossal infernos raging in Victoria and New South Wales could meet to form a 'mega blaze.'
On Kangaroo Island, a refuge off the coast of South Australia for some of the country's most endangered creatures, teams had arrived to help euthanize livestock and wild animals injured in the blazes.
Hundreds of millions of animals are believed to have died already in the fires across the country.
Today Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the government was committing an extra 2 billion Australian dollars (£1 billion) toward the recovery effort in addition to the tens of millions of dollars that have already been promised.
A dead kangaroo is seen on Kangaroo Island after the fires which have burned for several days, Monday, January 6, 2020. A convoy of Army vehicles, transporting up to 100 Army Reservists and self-sustainment supplies, have arrived on Kangaroo Island as part of Operation Bushfire Assist at the request of the South Australian Government.
A long exposure picture shows a car commuting on a road as the sky turns red from smoke of the Snowy Valley bushfire on the outskirts of Cooma on Saturday. Up to 3,000 military reservists were called up to tackle Australia's relentless bushfire crisis over the weekend, as tens of thousands of residents fled their homes amid catastrophic conditions.

'The fires are still burning. And they'll be burning for months to come,' Morrison said.
'And so that's why I outlined today that this is an initial, an additional, investment of $2 billion. If more is needed and the cost is higher, then more will be provided.'
Today Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the government was committing an extra 2 billion Australian dollars (£1 million) toward the recovery effort in addition to the tens of millions of dollars that have already been promised
Morrison's announcement of the funds, which will go toward rebuilding towns and infrastructure destroyed by the fires, came as authorities said two more people were missing in remote parts of New South Wales.
Nationwide, at least 24 people have been killed and 2,000 homes destroyed by the blazes, which have so far scorched an area twice the size of the U.S. state of Maryland.
Fire crews told reporters of the difficulties Monday's rain would bring Shane Fitzsimmons, commissioner of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service, said: 'With the more benign weather conditions it presents some wonderful relief for everybody, the firefighters, the emergency services personnel, but also the communities affected by these fires.
He added: 'But it also presents some real challenges when it comes to implementing tactical and strategic back-burns and other techniques to try and bring these fires under control.'
More than 135 fires were still burning across New South Wales, including almost 70 that were not contained. Officials have warned that the rain won't put out the largest and most dangerous blazes before conditions deteriorate again.
Victoria state Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville said at least 200 millimeters (8 inches) of rain would need to fall over a short period of time in order to snuff out the fires – around 20 times what has fallen across the region in the past day.
A military helicopter flies above a burning woodchip mill in Eden, in Australia's New South Wales state on Monday – some rainfall in New South Wales and neighbouring Victoria state brought milder conditions, but some communities were still under threat from out-of-control blazes, particularly in and around the town of Eden in New South Wales
Dead cattle are seen on Kangaroo Island on Monday. A refuge off the coast of South Australia for some of the country's most endangered creatures, teams had arrived to help euthanize livestock and wild animals injured in the blazes.

And officials warned that the country's wildfire season – which generally lasts through March – was nowhere near its end.
'No one can be complacent. We've got big fire danger coming our way toward the end of this week,' Victoria state Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters in Melbourne. 'We are by no means out of this. And the next few days, and indeed the next few months, are going to be challenging.'
Australia's capital, Canberra, had the worst air quality of any major city in the world on Monday. The Department of Home Affairs, which is responsible for coordinating the country's response to disasters, told all non-critical staff to stay home because of thick smoke choking the city.
The prime minister said the military was attempting to get food, fuel and water to burned-out communities, and engineers were working to reopen roads and resupply evacuation centers.

A smoldering log is pictured in the Wingello State Forest on Monday. Monday's rains down the east coast from Sydney to Melbourne cooled temperatures but experts say this will make lighting strategic fires more difficult with the heat returning on Thursday.

Heavy smoke, meanwhile, was hampering the navy's efforts to airlift people out of Mallacoota, a coastal town in Victoria cut off for days by fires that forced as many as 4,000 residents and tourists to shelter on beaches over the weekend.
Around 300 people were still waiting to be evacuated on Monday.
The prime minister's announcement of relief funds comes as he finds himself under siege for what many Australians have viewed as his lax response to the crisis.
On Saturday, he announced he would dispatch 3,000 army, navy and air force reservists to help battle the fires and committed 20 million Australian dollars ($14 million) to lease firefighting aircraft from overseas.
But the moves did little to tamp down the criticism that he had been slow to act, even as he has downplayed the need for his government to address climate change, which experts say helps supercharge the blazes.
Ash from bushfires washes up on a beach in Merimbula, in Australia's New South Wales state on Sunday. Australians on January 5 counted the cost from a day of catastrophic bushfires that caused 'extensive damage' across swathes of the country and took the death toll from the long-running crisis to 24.

Smoke raises to the sky as a woodchip mill burns in Eden, in Australia's New South Wales on Monday
Wildfires are common during the southern hemisphere summer, and Australians generally take a pragmatic view of them.
But this year's fires arrived unusually early, fed by drought and the country's hottest and driest year on record.
Scientists say there's no doubt man-made global warming has played a major role in feeding the fires, along with factors like very dry brush and trees and strong winds.
Environmental group Greenpeace said the relief funds announced by Morrison were 'a drop in the ocean,' given the widespread devastation from the fires.
'Every single cent of that money should be contributed by the coal, gas and oil companies whose carbon pollution has caused the climate crisis that has created these extreme fire conditions, right across the country,' Greenpeace Australia Pacific Head of Campaigns Jamie Hanson said in a statement.
'Slugging everyday taxpayers with the bill for this just adds insult to injury. These big polluters have become rich by trashing our climate and it's time that they started coughing up for the repair bill.'

MORODER (he wrote)
I've previously posted I FEEL MOOG (check it HERE), so as an adjunct, I've been running all these classic Moroder sounds around my head.....those 8/16 step sequences on those gorgeous Moog Modulars.....Ofcourse, I Feel Love is the most well known, but around the same time Moroder was slowly squeezing those massive modules into everything he was doing....it wasn't obvious in Summers epic Love To Love You Baby, but the Munich Machine boys...both Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, were already the kings of Disco.
Come 77, Donna Summers Once Upon A Time album, the future and what was about to change the world was unleashed on Side 2 of this Double Album, a trilogy of songs....Now I Need You, Working The Midnight Shift and Queen For A Day. Summer, Moroder and Bellotte were so prolific throughout 76/77 and 78, things weren't necessarily being released in the order they were being recorded...so chronologically...it's a bit all over the place...but that doesn't matter...because the sounds are more important.
Moroder released a solo album in 77 called From Here To Eternity, this is the ultimate Moroder sequenced album...... I first heard this album whilst helping out with the Mike Vernon Record Show...a mobile disco outfit I helped with from 82 to 86......Mike always used to play this album after we had set up as a form of Muzak...I couldn't get enough of it and when he finally gave up DJ'ing I blagged his copy off him)...it really still gets a hell of a lot of play up here in ElectroTowers!!
Ofcourse..I Feel Love blew all this other stuff away......but the point I'm going to make here is the influence Moroder was having.......he's a humble man....even to this day and hearing the voiceover on Daft Punk's Girogio by Moroder proves that.
Moroder has worked with plenty of artists, but it's the period of 77 to 80 that i'm concentrating on here...the time with that classic Moroder sequenced sound.........Having got bored of the Rock Format and obviously influenced by the I Feel Love sound... brothers Ron and Russell Mael aka Sparks teamed up with Moroder to produce the album No.1 In Heaven.
The album spawned 4 singles...not bad going for a 6 track album......in my opinion this album is the ultimate Moroder collaboration album with other artists........extended album versions of the most beautiful New Wave Electro Disco lushness..(yeah, you can tell this album is very high up in my all fave list)........this still kicks.........Sparks went on to work with Telex...so that says something....No.1 is unique...Sparks are unique...in the fact that in trying to utilise that classic Moroder sound....they are the only band to use Moroder more than once for a single (post Summer and in this obvious sequenced scenario obviously)
1980 and New wave supergroup Blondie call Moroder in, who subsequently undertakes the Score for American Gigolo and numerous versions of Call Me. It is the only track that in it's original form that Moroder produced for Blondie...yeah, he remixed Good Boys, but that doesn't count. But the surprising thing is that Heart of Glass came the year before (79) and was definitely influenced by Moroder ......HoG was produced by Mike Chapman. Post Call Me came Atomic also produced by Chapman, but also Moroderesque.
So, the next band to employ the Moroder sound was Japan and yet again, out of a trology of similar sounding tracks, the only one to utilise Moroder was 79's Life in Tokyo..... subsequent singles employing that sequencer sound were Quiet Life and European Son.....both produced by John Punter...ofcourse, all three singles got re-released a few times over a short period to ensure the success of Japan.
Moroder is still in his prime as a Disco producer......Giorgio by Moroder by Daft Punk and 2015's Deja Vu album are all up to date.
Here's a mix for you all..... a bit rushed with very basic equipment....so enjoy (it's not perfect)
Expect another post on that ElectroDisco Sound...or at least a mix
Ironically, just as I release this Blog post I see that Electronic Sound are dedicating their next episode/release to Moroder...I suggest you buy it.
Oh and don't forget the drummers in this music.....click track and metronome tight...

Pharmacists have been responding to PDA Union after we published an article about Boots' performance management system and how it uses a forced distribution approach.
In regards to its pay structure and market based pay it should be ashamed. It should be ashamed for its performance review where no person I have spoken to has any idea what it means to be above performing and where the pharmacy advisors, the people on the front lines get no bonus at all unless they are above performing.
Nobody knows what exactly they need to do to be "above performing". Even if you hit all your targets and are green on the scorecard despite those targets being an increase you are performing.
I've been a victim of this for 2 years in a row now!
My current line manager has been very supportive but has openly admitted that there is a bell curve and that if there aren't enough "not performing" results then so-called "calibration meetings" are held to redistribute people into those bottom spots. It seems that everyone must take a turn.
I worked under this regime and it is a terrible way to work. The constant threat of a 'non-performing' rating is so demotivating and demoralising and it sometimes felt like a personality contest. I challenged it many times (probably another reason I would never win a corporate personality contest) and was told that even if all targets were met/exceeded you could still be classed as non performing so what's the point!
Boots Pharmacists get to vote next month. They can vote in complete confidence to secure the ability for the PDA Union to negotiate over matters relating to pay, hours and other working conditions. The ballot period is scheduled to run for five weeks. Pharmacists and pre-registration pharmacists at grade 5, 6 & 7 in stores or on relief will be entitled to vote.

New Evidence Contradicts DOJ/FBI Timeline Leaked to Dem Media
Over the past month, a number of articles have made reference to the timeline surrounding the Obama administration's counterintelligence operation into President Donald Trump's campaign 's alleged ties to Russia.
Investigations conducted by Congressional and Senate committees are entering the second year and what has been pieced together by investigators – battling for documents every step of the way – challenges the information the FBI and former senior Obama administration have revealed about the investigation.
Their evidence is at odds with the DOJ/FBI timeline leaked to various news outlets indicating the investigation began in late summer of 2016.
From SaraaCarter.com, here is what the timeline, based on leaks in the press and information obtained by lawmakers, reveals and why it is so important that the President and Congress do everything in their power to find out what happened and wrap up this investigation.

BOMBSHELL REPORT: Fusion GPS STILL SPYING on President Trump
The controversial research firm Fusion GPS is still investigating alleged ties between President Trump's 2016 election campaign and Russia, according to several sources who spoke to this reporter.
What's not known is who is paying for the continuing research? Fusion GPS officials could not be reached immediately for comment.
In October, the Washington Post revealed that Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign paid the now embattled research firm Fusion GPS to fund the research into the dossier. Marc E. Elias, who was a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC allegedly retained Fusion GPS, but the campaign failed to disclose those payments on its finance records.
Rep. Ron DeSantis, a Florida Republican and Chairman of the National Security Subcommittee, sent a letter last week to House Speaker Paul Ryan, asking him to direct Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes , R-CA to declassify documents given to the committee related to the dossier. He asked Nunes to utilize the process known as Rule X to make the documents available to the American people and said Fusion GPS's continuing research into President Trump should be investigated.
DeSantis told this reporter that releasing the information on the dossier and the classified FISA applications is the first step in getting the truth to the public.
"Congress needs to determine the role played by Fusion GPS in the Russia matter and that includes any current Fusion activity," said DeSantis. "Fusion has not been forthright with Congress and the American people deserve the facts."

BOMBSHELL: Secret TEXTS Show FBI, DOJ May Have RUSHED Anti-Trump FISA Warrant
posted by Sara Carter - 4.03.18
An explosive new report from Sara Carter shows the FBI and the Department of Justice may have inappropriately coordinated with senior Obama officials in securing a FISA warrant against top Trump officials ahead of the 2016 race for the White House.
Newly discovered texts between anti-Trump officials inside the DOJ show a high-level of cooperation in obtaining a FISA warrant against former Trump associate Carter Page.
"Text messages obtained by investigators reveal that FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his colleague Lisa Page were discussing the FBI's difficulty in obtaining the warrant to spy on Carter Page, who worked for a short stint with the Trump campaign. The FBI obtained its first warrant to spy on Page on Oct. 19, 2016, and there would be three subsequent renewals every 90 days for the warrant on Mr. Page," writes Carter.
"The communications, which were first released last week and obtained by congressional investigators, occurred roughly one month before the Page warrant was obtained. The communications suggested that there was possible coordination by Obama White House officials, the CIA and the FBI into the investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign," she adds.

1964 Alfa Romeo GTZ
1964 Alfa Romeo
Type: GTZ
Serial No. 750052
Four-cylinder in-line engine, double overhead camshafts, 1570 cc, 175 bhp at 6500 rpm
Alfa Corse didn't take kindly to being shut down in 1951. Motor sport was lifeblood to Alfa Romeo engineers so when the factory racing branch ceased to exist, the engineers established an experimental department to continue as much in the same vein as management would tolerate. The remainder of the fifties saw, among others, the Disco Volante and succeeding sports cars, the 1900 sedan for long road races, and varying success.
High gear was not reached until 1963 with a design that had been finished in 1959, appeared as a prototype in 1960 and then shelved while Alfa got the Giulia passenger car into production. The Giulia Tubolare Zagato began Alfa Romeo's renaissance in motor sports.
Because the GTZ had a single purpose, amenities were overlooked. The car was spartan, noisy and hot. The space frame of small bore tubing weighed little more than a hundred pounds but it had to carry only engine, suspension and running gear. Over that, Zagato craftsmen fashioned svelte but flimsy coachwork. The GTZ was formidably light and blindingly fast. Gear changes from 4th to 5th at 110 mph were easily wrought.
The display car was the most successful car of the four GTZs entered at Sebring in1964 by factory aided Scuderia Saint Ambroeus. Chuck Stoddard and Jim Kaser won the 1600 GT class, finishing the twelve hours with a maladjusted clutch which necessitated "crash-box" shifting. This GTZ's only competition had come from an Abarth-Porsche, Jim Clark in a Lotus Cortina and a couple of Elans. Following the race, the car was bought by Dr. Paul Tenney with Alfa support for a season of successful SCCA racing.
Early in 1965 the company decided to back a quasi-independent organization called Autodelta – in the charge of ex-Ferrari, ex-Alfa man Carlo Chiti – to turn the new competition car into a race winner. Enzo Ferrari had done this very well for Alfa in the thirties, and Chiti was to do likewise now.
It was a new beginning. Alfa Romeo was back where it belonged.

Most race cars were non-competitive after their first campaign — the 1927 Vauxhall was competitive for 23 years (1927–1950) and you can see it in person. Learn more
