Birds in Virginia
weather radar records now allow predictions of the intensity of bird migrations, as well as storms

What makes Virginia attractive to different species, at different times? There's a reason why the tourists go where they go, when they go, in Virginia. Just as different areas of Virginia attract different tourists during different seasons, the state offers a wide range of habitats for wildlife at different times of the year.
All birds do not fly into Virginia in the Spring and leave in the Fall - but that is pretty much what happens around Hudson Bay in Canada. When the weather gets tough, the tough get going... south., where there is food, unfrozen water, and warm sunshine.
Tourists flock to places like Williamsburg in the summer because school is out of session and families can vacation together. Those who "hit the beach" in the summer are driven in part by the seasons; body surfing the waves or cruising the boardwalk in a bikini makes sense only between May and September. Leaf-lookers crowding the highways to Shenandoah National Park in October are getting a peek at the peak Fall colors.
The birds are as selective as a family with teenagers choosing where to vacation for a week. Some habitats that attract birds are natural, but others are man-made. Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge manages 14 ponds known as "moist soil management units," totaling 2,600 acres. By raising and lowering the water at different times of the year, the refuge biologists can attract the ducks, herons, geese, and other aquatic birds.1
Geese and other birds concentrate on the refuge each winter. The bird watchers are close behind. The birds depend upon the biologists to create a setting with food and shelter each year, and the businesses in the area depend upon eco-tourism in the winter. Want a duck carving? Go to Chincoteague, and choose from decoys carved by a wide array of skilled artists.
First there were the birds, then the tourists, then the commercialism. The concentrations at Chincoteague certainly did not occur in the reverse order, starting with the tourist traps and ultimately attracting the migratory birds.

In the case of the birds, there is a long history of natural selection that affects who goes where, when. Thousands of snow geese (Chen caerulescens) migrate each Fall to the marshes on the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic coastline. They show up from Assateague Island all the way south to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. In the Spring, they leave - because the Canadian wetlands offer more food and fewer predators on nest sites than the Virginia marshes.
Bird have specific habitat requirements. Ospreys feed on fish, so they are common in Westmoreland County and not in Buchanan County. Robins have specific requirements for where they nest. In the middle of the day, air temperature must be 45-65°F and relative humidity must be at least 50%. Under those conditions, the invertebrates upon which robins feed, including earthworms, will be present in the upper layers of soil.2
The blackpoll warbler (Setophaga striata) makes of the most remarkable migrations of a Virginia bird. In the Fall, the tiny (12 gram) birds will fly non-stop for up to 1,500 miles over three days to reach a Caribbean island, on their way to South America for the winter.3

Mentorn Media News
CELIA TAYLOR APPOINTED MENTORN MANAGING DIRECTOR
30 October 2017 | Mentorn Media
Celia Taylor is joining Tinopolis-owned Mentorn Media as Managing Director.
She will be responsible for driving and expanding Mentorn's diverse programme and development slate – with current shows ranging from Robot Wars and Question Time to Traffic Cops and Inside London Fire Brigade – with a focus on factual, factual entertainment and entertainment content for both the UK and the international market. She will report to David Mortimer, Director of Content for the Tinopolis Group.
Celia Taylor said: "Mentorn is one of the TV industry's most respected production companies and I am incredibly excited about working with the hugely talented team to further build on the success they have had to date."
David Mortimer said: "Celia is one of the most talented and well-liked TV executives I've had the pleasure of working with in the past, so I know she'll be the perfect fit for Mentorn. She is bursting with ideas and I am absolutely thrilled to have her on board to lead the brilliant Mentorn team."
Celia was most recently Head of Non-Scripted Commissioning at Sky, where she ordered shows including League of Their Own, Wild Things, Ross Kemp's Extreme World, Mentorn's An Idiot Abroad, as well as BAFTA winning Flying Monsters 3D with Sir David Attenborough.
Prior to joining Sky, Celia was Director of Programmes at Virgin Media, responsible for four of their digital channels. As a commissioning editor for factual at the BBC she worked across BBC ONE, TWO and THREE on wide-ranging and BAFTA-winning output. Before moving into commissioning, Celia worked as a freelance producer for many independent production companies and broadcasters.
Celia is taking over responsibility for Mentorn from Jonathan Hewes, after the company's busiest year in a while with production having increased significantly. Jonathan will now focus solely on his role as CEO of Tinopolis specialist factual producer, Pioneer, makers of How The Universe Works, this summer's high-rating specials on the American Eclipse, and Your Face Says It All.
Arwel Rees, Chief Executive of the Tinopolis Group, said: "Mentorn has had a strong year with shows ranging from Robot Wars to the agenda-setting Question Time Election specials, and from Traffic Cops proving a ratings hit on Channel 5 to the moving and insightful Inside London Fire Brigade for ITV - and Jonathan has been instrumental to that success. I am tremendously excited that with this new set up our senior team is perfectly positioned to further build on that success and lead both Pioneer and Mentorn into their next phase of growth, in what is sure to be an exciting future for both companies."

Ariana Grande Shares "No Tears Left To Cry" & Music Video
By Nicole Mastrogiannis
Ariana Grande has officially returned with her brand new single "No Tears Left To Cry." After teasing fans with the track title and cover art earlier this week, the full song has finally arrived, and is the very first taste of Grande's highly anticipated upcoming fourth studio album.
"No Tears Left To Cry" was produced by Max Martin and Swedish songwriter ILYA (who worked on much of Grande's Dangerous Woman album), and was co-written by Ari, Max, ILYA, and Savan Kotecha. Throughout the upbeat song, Ariana sings uplifting lyrics, especially in the chorus. "Right now I'm in a state of mind/ I wanna be in like all the time/ Ain't got no tears left to cry/ So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up/I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up," she sings.
Coinciding with the song release is the official "No Tears Left To Cry" music video, which was directed by Grammy Award-winning director Dave Meyers (who has directed music videos for stars like Katy Perry, Rihanna, P!NK and more). In the visual, Ariana is in a futuristic setting as she is singing the song.
In an Instagram post, Ariana wrote a heartfelt note to all of their fans, thanking them for their support. She wrote:
"thank you from the bottom of my heart. i have no idea where to start or what to say. i'm unimaginably grateful for your love, warmth and kindness. i hope this song brings you light and comfort but also makes you wanna dance and live ya best life! i am so excited for this new chapter with you all. thank you for this beautiful start."

A post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) on Apr 20, 2018 at 9:00am PDT
"No Tears Left To Cry" is Ariana's first new music since the horrible attack at her "Dangerous Woman Tour" stop in Manchester last May. After her tour concluded, the star has been quiet, taking time out of the spotlight, but also taking time in the studio as she is preparing to release her Dangerous Woman (2016) followup. No release date has been set yet for her fourth album.
Ariana began teasing "No Tears Left To Cry" on social media by sharing the song's title, which appears upside down. She then slowly rolled out the album art, which showcases her new platinum blonde hair, as the pop star's side profile is prominently displayed with a rainbow glow around her eyes.
After the "No Tears Left To Cry" release, Arianators took to social media to share their feelings on the new song. Take a look a the best reactions below.

The largest image sharing site, Instagram, was created in 2010. In a very short two years, it was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion in both cash and stock. Amazingly, the company only had 13 employees at the time of the acquisition - equating to a little more than $130 million per employee! The reason Facebook was willing to pay such a large amount for Instagram was due to the underlying demographics of its User base (and it should be noted that this purchase price paid by Facebook for a social network was dwarfed by Facebook's acquisition, two years on, of WhatsApp for which Facebook paid a whooping $19 billion). Facebook had a problem that in its best advertising market, the United States, it was begining to lose the momentum of new young users. Turns out that this group was spending more time on Instagram and making it the fastest growing social network among the teenage demographic. This age group is particularly attractive to advertisers as they have two characteristics that drive marketers to them. First, teenagers often drive discretionary purchase decisions within a household. Things like smartphones, music, online videos and even high-end electronics like sound systems and even high definition TVs. This alone makes them appealing. But probably their greatest attraction to advertisers is that it is a long held belief in the advertising business that teenagers and adults in their early twenties form brand loyalties that can last a lifetime. If true, and these marketers have had decades of data to show them that they are correct in their assumptions, this means that it is vital for the long-term success of brands to get to the influencers of this demographic and get them to like their brand (not unlike buying facebook likes) so they will establish the long term repeat buying pattern. Indeed, some marketers have observed that advertisements of beer may appear to be trying to get young people to buy beer, when in reality it is an attempt to develop a brand loyalty - even before the item can be consumed. Brands target the young people directly because, obviously, given the nature of teens, selling to the parents is not going to have a trickle down effect onto the teens as they tend to find anything from their parents unappealing (at the least).
Instagram is of interest to teens as it has the ability to instantly share what is happening in their lives with others by taking pictures on their smartphones and uploading them to their Instagram Page to be available to be seen by all of their followers (which in the case of most teens is their circle of friends). Teens really like to share socially their activities and this is the perfect vehicle. And Instagram has a way of making each image seem as if it were a high-grade photograph. The company uses a variety of filters which give the images that professional look - you rarely see a blurry image on Instagram. (As a interesting aside, Instagram's images are all square. This is taken from the types of photographs that were produced by the Polaroid Instamatic cameras from the 1960s and 1970s and is where Instagram draws its name). The truly wonderful photos that result from the filters really enhances the experience of sharing and yet, unlike video, it doesn't require a huge attention commitment from the viewer. In this age of short attention spans, this is perfect for sharing. The teens just need to have followers with whom to share their experiences with and if the parents feel as if their child is under-supported in this area, they can always buy instagram followers and help their teen with their fragile self-esteem. But sharing one's activities with friends and followers is actually a healthy and confidence building endeavor and one that most child behaviorists feel is a good activity, just so long as it doesn't overtake their normal activities (meaning become an obsession).
Instagram is clearly a great place to have a marketing presence - especially if the younger demographic is a target market (and as we have pointed out, it is for almost everybody given the two characteristics of this demographic that is appealing to all types of marketers). We have mentioned Facebook, but should also touch upon Twitter. In the past year, Twitter's growth has stagnated, but its growth in the youth demographic has increased. Many of these teens are following more than just their favorite celebrities and athletes. An increasing number of them get their news exclusively from Twitter feeds of their favorite news outlets and blogs. A more interesting development, at least for marketers, is the growing use of Twitter as a means of communicating with a group of friends instantly. These friends must followers, but not necessarily from places that you can buy twitter followers. Teenagers are very social and it is that fact that drove the success of the social networks in the first place. They typically like to socialize in groups which is why Twitter may be the perfect instant communication vehicle. Sort of like a portable group walkie-talkie. Twitter is just in the early stages of fully developing their advertising avenues for its microblog - unlike Facebook which has refined the process to the extreme and has a plethora of demographic information and metrics which really allow an advertiser to target its preferred group of viewers. Indeed, it is this aspect that makes the social networks the most compelling marketing platforms of all-time. It is the ability of these providers, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (which are just the larger players) to gather data and then splice and dice that data into valuable pieces of information available for advertisers to target. No other medium in human history has enable such precision for marketers. Television, by contrast, is simply a shot in the dark.


Watersheds of arctic and subarctic rivers are undergoing profound transformations in response to climate change and the associated impacts such as shifting hydrological patterns, permafrost thawing and changes in vegetation. One of the consequences of these landscape changes is that a large pool of organic carbon is becoming more available; however, its ultimate fate is uncertain. Rivers are likely to play a substantial role in transportation and transformation of carbon, from terrestrial to marine ecosystems, and in the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Microbial activities dominate these biogeochemical processes, but microbiome structure and function are still poorly understood in river ecosystems in general, and particularly at high latitudes.
This project aims to gain an improved understanding of carbon biogeochemistry of the Great Whale River (Nunavik), a large subarctic river discharging into southeastern Hudson Bay. The watershed of this river is characterized by heterogeneous landscapes, including sporadic permafrost areas in an advanced stage of thawing and erosion. We will apply flow cytometry to characterize the gradients in microbial cell concentrations along this river, including the application of a novel multimodal microfluidic system under development by Sentinel North. We will combine these measurements with molecular and pigment analysis of the microbiome, and measure the carbon dioxide concentrations and fluxes across physico-chemical gradients, including across the freshwater-saltwater transition zone.
The information gained during this project will yield valuable new insights into how higher latitude river ecosystems will respond to the ongoing transformation of their watersheds in the warming northern climate.


Indoor green walls are becoming more and more popular in lobby areas, office relaxing areas and even in private homes. With our RALEDSPOT® specialised plant luminaries the needed light for growing is available even with special light configuration with UV content, or customised colours. The very low power consumption and the very nice illumination is helping to implement more and more green walls.
Plant illumination looks very nice in different colours. If warm white or colour configurations are used to enhance the nice outlooking of plants in outdoor bars or relaxing areas. With our small spotlights, wall washers or floor lights this applications are becoming easy tasks. All luminaries are available as stainless steel versions, for long time operations without maintenance or damage.
The right light solution for indoor green walls is very important, because the natural sunlight is not available most of the time. In order to provide the needed light at the right mixture our spots or wall washer can be equipped with customised light sources matching the required demand. If ultra violett or infrared content, combined with natural or warm white, everything is possible.

Standing Under a Tree, by Beopjeong Sunim
By Buddhism Now on 23 January 2014 • ( 3 )
A lot of people look quite fine by themselves. But everyone starts to look rather shabby when standing under a large, healthy tree. In comparison, trees are absolutely magnificent.
As people, we have so very much to learn from trees. I think it's rather embarrassing to us as humans when we compare our behaviour to the discipline, natural order, and adaptability of trees.
When a violent storm strikes, birds chirping on the ends of branches suddenly take off to find a place of shelter. People bring in their shoes, shut their doors and windows tightly, and pull the curtains. But trees just stand there to meet the storm. And they adjust to the fact that sometimes leaves and branches get torn off and broken in the winds. We should bow our heads in respect to the resoluteness of these trees that bow to the wind.
When rain falls, the urban alleyways fill with people under umbrellas, with each person walking rather glumly under his or her own. Occasionally there may be two people under an umbrella but the umbrellas of the secular world are so narrow they hardly cover a single person's shoulders. That reflects how stingy space and urban life have become.
Cities have become so crowded that not only do we step on our own shadows; we are losing even the shade of our own hearts. And there is not a single thing for us to lean against, like a tree. We can't help but feel shabby and embarrassed compared to a tree, a tree that lets birds nest on its branches, a tree that provides enough cool shade to embrace scores and sometimes even hundreds of people, a tree that serves as a giant umbrella, a tree that let's you lean against it.
At Haeinsa Temple there's a cluster of fir trees hundreds of years old, with one in particular shooting up above the others. But if you look closely at the base of that tree, you notice that people have etched their names all over as high as they could possibly reach. How could people, who dread their own ageing, have no compunctions about scarring up an ageing tree? Did the tree commit some kind of crime? All it did was cast cool shadows upon the earth on hot summer days and sing songs of transience with the wind.
People even go so far as to carve their names on that fir tree to demonstrate their importance. But just across the way from that tree stands the repository for Tripitaka Koreana, the Korean Buddhist Canon, which is comprised of 81,258 woodblocks carved in the 13th century. Yes, 81,258 woodblocks. Yet not a single signature can be found on any one of those woodblocks, no matter how hard you look. We haven't a single clue as to who carved the more than 50 million Chinese ideograms onto them. The artisans just selflessly carved what had to be carved. That is how humble and virtuous the people of yesteryear were. So when I stand beneath a fir tree with names carved all over it, I once again feel shabby and embarrassed as a human being, and I feel sorry for the fir tree.
Most people become gentle when they stand under a tree. People who just a short time ago were conniving amidst an environment of concrete walls and asphalt can no longer do so when standing under the gentleness of a tree. Their voices become soft as they talk of eternal joys, and they ponder the nature of goodness and truth. And they begin to become faintly aware of their daily lives of busily running about in their crowded urban cubicles of noise and pollution.
When you look at it that way, you can see that human beings don't belong in an exhausting urban environment of noise and dust. You come to realize that people belong to the remarkable natural embroidery of trees and birds and waters and clouds and stars. The fact that humanity's great religions and philosophies were born out of secluded nature and not out of walls of concrete and brick gives credence to this.
Can people really dare say that nature is something to be conquered? On the contrary, we have so very, very much to learn from nature's order and humility and virtue.

"So much with so little." – George Couros


Former TE Ben Coates on Hall-of-Fame snub: "I wonder why"
Former New England tight end Ben Coates has the credentials for Canton … but he has no love. Why? He wonders, too.
If former Patriots' tight end Ben Coates was Gronk before Gronk, how come nobody's pushing him for Canton when everyone's pushing Gronk?
Ben Coates would like an answer.
Because when he retired after the 2000 season he was the fourth all-time leading receiver at tight end in NFL history, with the three ahead of him (Ozzie Newsome, Shannon Sharpe and Kellen Winslow) named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But Coates wasn't. In fact, he's never been a Hall-of-Fame semifinalist.
And that's puzzling. Because, like Gronk, he was a true tight end – a blocker and a receiver. Like Gronk, he was chosen to five Pro Bowls and multiple All-Pro units, including two first-team selections. And he was named to the 1990s' all-decade team as its first-string tight end.
So why no love for Ben Coates?
It hasn't been that long for Ben Coates. He retired after the 2000 season when he won a Super Bowl with Baltimore. But it's been long enough that few people think of him when they debate the best tight ends of the past 25 years. There will be Tony Gonzalez. And Jason Witten. And Antonio Gates.
And, of course, Rob Gronkowski. But no Ben Coates.
In the nine years (1991-99) that Coates was with the Patriots, they had a modicum of success. Yes, they went to the playoffs four times and the Super Bowl once. But they didn't win a league championship, and their overall record 67-77 was little more than mediocre.
Had they won their Super Bowl XXXI date with Green Bay, Coates believes he'd be in a Hall-of-Fame conversation. But they didn't. So he's not.
"I really do think that's a big part of it," he said, "considering that it was an upstart team, and we had guys and everybody's talking about longevity. But, you know, you're playing in New England. It's cold. It's frigid. You're getting tackled by three or four guys, (and) you're still dragging them.
"It should count for something. But it's like when (selectors) go to vote, it's: 'Oh, he did this. Ah, it's not enough. He didn't do more.' I mean, I'm not a receiver like Shannon Sharpe. I'm not going to cut somebody. I'm going to block you.
"You say block, (I) block. You say block for Curtis Martin, OK. Block for Terry Glenn. Block for whoever it is that is going to catch the ball.
Compared to the other HOF tight ends aside from Tony Gonzalez only Ben Coates has 6 or more seasons with 50+ catches, 600+ yards & 6+ TDs. Gronk had 5. Shannon Sharpe only 4. Ben Coates deserves a Gold Jacket !!!
Guy has a compelling case. Yet has gotten lost. Not sure why. But has. Thanks for the note.

Art's Birthday – an annual exchange-art event celebrated on January 17th by a loose collection of artists and artist organizations around the world.
"Art's Birthday" is first proposed in 1963 by French artist Robert Filliou.
He suggested that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art. But one day, on the 17th of January to be precise, Art was born. According to Filliou, it happened when someone dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Modest beginnings, but look at us now.
Filliou proposed a public holiday to celebrate the presence of art in our lives. In recent years, the idea has been taken up by a loose network of artists and friends around the world.
In the meantime, the PCU Committee have selected the 15 best drawings and started to receive the first ones for the expositions.
← Happy New 2019 Year!

You can find her Gathering Around the Table post here. I hope you consider subscribing to LB's blog, The Book of Barkley. She is such a good writer. I thought you might enjoy her thoughts about friendship and hospitality.
Oh and here's another link to a post about hospitality, distraction and blogging as hospitality that really spoke to me. It too adds to the conversation: Be by Guest: An Invitation to Greater Joy.

We define posting periods in the fiscal year variants of SAP FI module. You can open and close posting periods for a particular transaction type in SAP.
Usually, only the current Posting Period is open for recording transaction in SAP and all other Posting Periods are closed. At the end, the current posting period is closed, and the next Posting Period is opened for transaction recording in SAP FI.
You have the following options for opening and closing a Posting Period in SAP.
You can specify which company codes are open and closed for transaction recording in these variants. These are cross-company code variants so you have to assign them to your company codes. Working with these variants are recommended if you are responsible for a large number of company codes.
You can differentiate the opening and closing of Posting Periods by account type in SAP. This means that for a specific Posting Period, recording of transaction can be permitted to customer accounts, but not to vendor accounts.
For each Posting Period in SAP, you must specify at least account type "+" (valid for all account types). You can exercise more detailed control by specifying further account types.
Using the minimum entry, when you enter the posting date in the document header, the system checks whether the Posting Period determined in the variant can be posted to.
As soon as you enter an account number, in a second step, the system checks whether the Posting Period in SAP is permitted for the account specified.
You can differentiate the opening and closing of PPs by account intervals. This means that you only open a PP for posting to a specific account.
Account intervals always apply to General Ledger accounts. If you want to open sub-ledger accounts in SAP then you have to enter the corresponding reconciliation account and the account type.
During the closing operations, you can, for example, use the reconciliation accounts to close customer and vendor accounts before General Ledger accounts. This allows you to prevent further postings to these accounts after you have confirmed the balances with your customers and vendors. Balance confirmation is one of the prerequisites for further closing operations.
You can open and close Posting Periods only for specific users. To do this, enter an authorization group at document header level.
This authorization group is effective only in time period 1 and prevents users who do not have the appropriate authorization for the authorization object F_BKPF_BUP (accounting document: Authorization for PPs) from posting in periods which are only open for time period 1.

Q: Get fullcalendar JSON from JSP page I'm working with the fullcalendar jQuery plugin and I'm trying to populate my events by creating a JSON object on a jsp page.
Here is what I have for my fullcalendar code...
$('#mycalendar').fullCalendar({
    header: {
        left: 'prev,next today',
        center: 'title',
        right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
    },
    defaultView: 'agendaDay',
    editable: false,
    slotMinutes: 5,
    allDaySlot: true,
    lazyFetching: true,
    eventSources: [
        '/servlet/TEST?action=calendarData'
    ],
    eventClick: function(event) {
        if (event.url) {
            window.location.href = event.url;
            return false;
        }
    }
});

I know a lot of my parameters are set as the default, but I only have them set that way for debugging and they will be changed.
The request is going through and is returning what I'm expecting but the event is not getting displayed, which leads me to believe that I'm expecting the wrong thing. Which will probably be evident in my jsp page.
<%@ page contentType="application/json;" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
{
    title: "test",
    start: new Date(2011, 3, 12),
    allDay: true
}

I'm just trying to hardcode a JSON object to the page so I can better understand what I will need to dynamically create for the real data. I'm expecting this to create an all day event for today. Firebug can read it as a JSON object... but the event is not displaying.

A: eventSources expects valid JSON. The code that's in your page is not valid JSON. All keys must be double-quoted, and Dates are not valid values as per the JSON grammar.

Try this:
<%@ page contentType="application/json;" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
{
    "title": "test",
    "start": "2011-04-12",
    "allDay": true
}

What's in Store For Social Enterprise in 2009?
As far as I can see, in the UK at least we're entering year two in the growth of social enterprise. Before 2008 I'm sure there were plenty of organisations doing good things sustainably, but the concept of social enterprise really seems to have become mainstream in 2008.
CICs are becoming more common, the concept of Social Return on Investment started to take hold, different models of Social Enterprise were identified, and we even saw the release of a new Self Assessment Framework for Social Enterprise. I no longer see discussions in the blogosphere around what Social Enterprise is and whether it is doing social things sustainably or making money with social or community benefits. I think that's been cleared up as closer to the former... "Enterprises effecting positive social change, independently and sustainably".
I reckon Social Enterprise will continue to embed as a way of life in 2009, and both new social startups and existing charities will feel increasing pressure to set up financially sustainable operations. I also reckon we're going to see more organisations leveraging the web to effect social change. In combination it feels like we're heading towards an exciting and dynamic future in the social space, where we're able to innovate without being dependent on hand-outs.
For me too, 2009 feels like it might be an interesting one. I got involved with a lot of different things in 2008, all of which have possibilities ahead. First and most importantly the Urban Survival Project, which evolved into iVolntr.org for which I'm still hoping to hear back from Google around the results of their 10^100 funding project. We hear back at the end of Jan, and even if iVolntr doesn't make the shortlist I will start a more dedicated effort to get the Google Foundation behind it, or maybe see if I can exploit the new networks available to me through the Fellowship to the RSA I was offered a couple of months ago.
Having managed to raise the funding needed to stave off insolvency, I'm also expecting to be heavily involved with the development of BANG Edutainment and BANG Radio for the next couple of months. Finally if things get worse with the credit crunch and I get signed off, there's always the possibility of getting involved with the development of social enterprise in Thailand or maybe even India with Trn Labs or UnLtd India.
So all in all, the future's looking bright, and here's to a top year ahead. Hope you're having a good start to 2009 wherever you are!!


The Kansas AgrAbility Project assists people with disabilities who work in agriculture.
The vision of AgrAbility is to enable a high quality lifestyle for farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural workers with disabilities.

Home | Non-ferrous Metals | Are Minor Metals Heading for a Supply Shortage?
Are Minor Metals Heading for a Supply Shortage?
by Stuart Burns on February 25, 2009
We don't often write about the minor metals or rare metals and never in the same article. To be fair if the minor metals are minor then the rare earths are more minor still. Depending on who you talk to the two groups can overlap. The Minor Metals Trade Association (MMTA) defines minor metals rather loosely as any metal which is not traded on the London Metal Exchange. Their website claims some 49 metals as being under their sphere of interest and certainly many of these would also fall under the banner of rare earths. Jack Lifton, an author and consultant is quoted in a Gold Report interview as defining rare earths as those metals between atomic # 57 through 71 " the lanthanide elements, with scandium and yttrium " no they don't exactly roll of the tongue do they – as well.
If we consider the wider grouping of minor metals as defined by the MMTA we could still be forgiven for thinking they are of minor importance, surely the world needs copper more than say rhenium? We normally produce (recessions not withstanding) some 16 million tons of copper per year but just 45 tons of rhenium, but we couldn't make jet engines or gas turbines without rhenium so may be we do need it if we want air travel, large ships, fast trains and so on. Rhenium is typical of many other minor metals in that it is not mined as a free ore, it is produced as a by-product from the production of more base metals. In this case it is recovered from the flue dust captured in Molybdenum roasters. Molybdenum in turn is rarely produced as a primary metal and nearly always as a by-product of nickel or copper-nickel mining. Copper is also the source of 95% of the world's tellurium and selenium. Bauxite from which aluminum is produced is the only commercial source for gallium needed for transistors. In addition, zinc ores are the primary source of germanium, cadmium and indium. So as mine and smelting capacity are cut back for these primary metals as the global market demand from automobiles, housing and so on contracts, so does the availability of these minor metals.
So what you may say, if we are using less of everything what does that matter. Well unfortunately we don't uniformly use less of everything, some metals we use much less of and some we use only slightly less of. For example copper and aluminum use has collapsed because the demand for housing, automobiles and consumer goods has fallen dramatically. There are massive stocks of finished aluminum sitting in warehouses around the world depressing the incentive to mine more bauxite and hence release minor metals. Meanwhile production of jet engines, nuclear reactors, medical implants, electronics (and the list goes on..) could not happen without small traces of minor metals. The demands (and incentives) to produce will be different from one industry to another in a recession. Sales of hybrid cars are still holding up better than the wider car market. Wind turbines are being built worldwide at a rapid rate on the back of widespread government subsidies. So demand for minor metals needed for example in advanced nickel hydride batteries for hybrid cars and highly efficient magnets for turbines will continue, but supply will not. Nor, with the minor metal yield per ton of base metal being in the pounds or ounces, will a higher minor metal price spur production of more base metals.
The number of businesses directly using minor metals out there are few and far between. The number of businesses out there using minor metals as a critical component in the alloys they consume are much greater than most of us realize. As the recession perseveres and inventories decrease expect shortages to begin to impact business sectors who previously thought they were doing rather well in spite of the downturn.

Roland Chavasse says:
Stuart, an excellent summary of the complex world of minor metals. These metals are produced in relatively small quantities, true, but their importance to modern technology is hard to understate.
To image a world without these critical elements you only have to look back 40 years and see the improvements that have been made: jet engines, rechargeable batteries , and flat screen monitors are just three technologies that are more efficient, more powerful and cheaper due to the addition of minor metals.
In Japan these elements are refered to as "indutries' vitamins" which is a good indication of their importance.
The International Minor Metals Conference 2009 will be in Istanbul from April 26 – 28. For information see http://www.mmta.co.uk.

Nowadays, there is severe supply shortage for various minor metal industries. Requires immediate and effective solution.

The decline of livestock auctions
PUBLISHED: 10:24 05 October 2015 | UPDATED: 10:24 05 October 2015
Adam Henson discusses the decline of livestock auctions and the one event left in Gloucestershire that still harks back to the good old days of the livestock markets
The world of the livestock auction can be a bewildering and mysterious experience if you've never been to one. It's a place of nods and winks, people speaking in code and the sales themselves seem impossible to follow. But spend a little time in that unique atmosphere and before long the mists begin the clear.
Just like every profession, farming has its own technical terms and conventions while the men and women at market will be using verbal short cuts to hurry things along. I've been going to auctions since I was little, taken along by my Dad at first and then later as a farmer in my own right. They are exciting places full of interesting characters.
At one time there would hardly have been a major town in the Cotswolds region that didn't have its own livestock market. Today it's hard to imagine cattle, sheep and pigs being herded through town centre streets or rounded up and penned at local railway stations. But that was the reality for generations. Sadly the country markets slowly declined from about the time of the Second World War, when towns like Newent lost their regular sales. But it's really been in the last twenty years that large animal auction sites have closed in significant numbers.
Banbury was once Western Europe's biggest cattle market but it sold its last animal in 1998. Gloucester Market never re-opened after the Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak in 2001 and it wasn't long before town centre markets in Tetbury, Cirencester and Andoversford shut their gates for the final time. What used to be a weekly event and a social gathering for farming families has been revolutionised by new technology, internet trading and the emergence of larger regional auction centres near major roads and motorways.
But every year there's one event in the Cotswolds which harks back to the old days and recreates something of that lost community spirit. The Breeds of Gloucestershire sale at the new Cirencester Livestock Centre beside the A419 has become an annual highlight for everyone who appreciates those three very special breeds; Gloucester cattle, Cotswold sheep and Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs. In fact the day is so unusual that it even attracts spectators with no farming connections at all. It has put the spotlight on Britain's vast livestock varieties so much that in the last few years it has expanded to become a Rare, Native and Traditional Breeds Show and Sale. This year there were even a couple of yaks for sale!
The Cotswold Farm Park has always been a keen supporter of the event and we took a selection of good quality goats, cattle and sheep which created a lot of interest. As the auction has become such a crowd-puller it's also the venue for the annual shows of the Cotswold Sheep Society and The Gloucestershire Old Spot Pig Breeders' Club.
All credit must go to the auctioneers, Voyce Pullin, who run the livestock centre near Cirencester. There is no commercial need to hold the rare breeds sale and in the past they have admitted that they don't do it for financial profit. But Chris Voyce and Jon Pullin know the importance of staging this unique event and what a boost it gives to the thousands of people who keep, breed and promote our native livestock. Importantly it also brings members of the public to a place they would never normally visit. That's vital in letting non-farming families know a little about how British agriculture works and it goes some way to breaking down the barriers between our rural and urban communities.
The spectators this year might have had trouble keeping up with the bidding but I guarantee they had a day they will never forget.

Sulaim contracted polio two months before this picture was taken. Both of her legs are now paralyzed.
Nearly 90 percent of the world's polio cases last year occurred in Pakistan. But the country is making dramatic progress in its quest to eradicate the disease: Cases are down by almost 70 percent to date compared with 2014, owing partly to military interventions that year in Taliban-controlled North Waziristan, which have allowed vaccinators to reach hundreds of thousands of children who were previously inaccessible. Improved government leadership, the introduction of inactivated polio vaccine in high-risk districts, and vaccinations at transit points such as railways, airports, and bus stops also have played a significant role. "While Pakistan continues to face obstacles in its journey to polio eradication, we are excited about the current progress being made," says Mike McGovern, chair of Rotary's International PolioPlus Committee, who met with Rotarians and government officials during a visit to the country in June.


With a huge increase in data projects being started, how can you maximize their effectiveness?
The importance of data analytics in business today is well documented. It is no longer just a buzzword, it is an accepted fact of life, and those failing to use the advanced data analytics software and methodologies that generate data insights are almost certain to lose ground on any competitors who are. However, many companies still make fatal errors when attempting to put together a data project. Indeed, Gartner predicts that in 2017, 60% of them will fail, languishing in the piloting and experimentation phases before being cast aside. We sat down with Aki Matsushima, Lead Data Scientist at Direct Line, Charlie Ewen, CIO at the Met Office, and Duncan Bain, Senior Data Scientist at Scottish Power to discuss what they felt were the key factors to ensuring this doesn't happen.
The first thing you need to do is understand what it is you want from your project and what data will actually be relevant. There is a temptation to go hell for leather collecting all data possible, but this is wasteful in terms of resources and time. It is also likely that by unleashing this tidal wave of data, you will be unable to gain any real insight because there will be too much noise drowning it out, rendering analysis impossible.
Getting C-suite buy-in is no easy task, however. In a recent survey of 2,165 data professionals commissioned by KPMG and conducted by Forrester Consulting, 49% of respondents said their C-level executives don't fully support their organizations' data and analytics strategies. Bain advises that 'Being able to visualize complex processes in a way that simplifies understanding and facilitates action is key to C-level sponsors who often have limited time to devote to any individual project.' Data visualization presents data as a story, providing a narrative that draws an impactful response from the user and reinforces it with numerical evidence. In this way, senior management will have a better understanding of what the data is revealing and how powerful it is.
A data-centric approach across the organization is not to be underestimated. It is a central plank in exploiting data and analytics to its full, as noted in a recent study by MIT Sloan Management Review and SAS 'The Analytics Mandate', which reported that an 'analytics culture' is the driving factor in achieving competitive advantage from data.
Gartner research has found that over half of analytics projects fail either because they aren't completed within budget or on schedule or because they fail to deliver on over-optimistic features and benefits that were agreed on at their outset. It is important to be realistic in what you expect from your data project and to know that there will be challenges and setbacks in its implementation. If your data initiative does not immediately provide ROI, it's not the end of the world, and certainly shouldn't be abandoned.
We sat down with Aki, Charlie, and Duncan ahead of their presentation at the upcoming the upcoming Predictive Analytics Summit, taking place in London on March 30-31, where they will be joined by a number of other industry-leading experts in the field from companies leading in their data efforts.
