What To Deal On A Residence With A Guide Cost How reduced should you go? The means to place in an offer at the moment, according to Douglas & Gordon's Ed Mead, is not to put in an offer - it appears paradoxical yet Mead has a factor. "You have to produce the perception that you'll make a deal yet then not do anything for a while," he says. Set up your delay as a "great buyer" and also allow the representative obtain thrilled.
Making A Deal On A Residence By Email Nonetheless, anecdotal proof is considereded as unstable for a factor, um, because it is. First, the stories you hear are constantly filtered through the cashier's display of their very own biases and also commonly limited understanding of market dynamics. Second, what could hold true in your total market may not be true for the particular community, district or the rate sector where you are home hunting. Plus, a lot of our markets are in change now lots of coastal markets are altering from vendor's market to buyer's market, and lots of formerly undervalued, heartland and also southerly communities are experiencing an unprecedented shift into a seller's market. When these type of shifts occur, it can be difficult for the standard Joe on the street (and the tales they inform!) to catch up with the brand-new truth of the market.
When getting a home mortgage, the financial background, task history, as well as credit report of both you as well as the co-borrower is taken into consideration. This means that if your co-borrower has more well established debt than you, this might aid your opportunities in getting a finance. This additionally puts on your co-borrower's possessions and also revenue. You will certainly both be in charge of repayments, and have an equivalent stake in your house. Make certain to totally discuss and also research a potential co-borrower's financial background, as bad credit report might injure your possibilities of getting a mortgage loan.
Meanwhile, learn as high as you could concerning the properties in which you are interested, most importantly how long they have gotten on the marketplace, and also why. Important inquiries are: is the seller motivated? The amount of deals have there been as well as why were they declined, or why did they fail to proceed? Be prepared, Mead states, to be impolite: "The British are extremely bad at placing in low deals, foreigners are only too happy to enter reduced." Unless the representative states the owner is hopeless and also will think about anything, that first offer will most likely be refused yet, if your expectations on price are realistic, arrangements must continue.

If your competitive nature takes control of and you determine obtain involved in a bidding process war, bear in mind that often vendors exaggerate the degree of passion from various other prospective purchasers or use other strategies in an effort to drive up the list price.


One of the first drives of the year and my heater core blew on my 67 Conv Cutlass. Ruined my carpet too.
The level of dissembly is ridiculous...hood, fender, front seat, carpet, blah, blah, blah. (I know, I don't have to remove the fender but it sure made it a lot easier to get everything apart.
So the MAWs would dictate replacing the blower motor but mine is a non AC car and the current blower motor does not have the vent tube but every replacement out there has the hole for the vent. Can I install the blower motor with the vent hole and just leave it open?
Yep, they're a pain! Over the years I've replaced a couple cores before replacing the carpet "just in case". Although with so much made in China stuff some have commented it may be worth having a good radiator shop try to refurbish the old OEM core rather than replace with new.
Also - FYI - the radiator guy who recored the heater core found a ton of sealant clogging the core. He said when people use too much sealant during a rebuild, it ends up in the heater core. Pretty nasty. I wonder if that was clogging my water passages and causing the high temps and stumbling I had with my motor.
Wow, I never have to remove that much stuff to get at the core. Remove the 5 nuts on the firewall, the one behind the wheel well is a bit of chore, and pull the heater box into the passenger compartment. Going back together I leave the nut off that's behind the fender. If the blower isn't bad why replace it? For the carpet, just vacuum and dry it out.
You've taken it down that much you might as well do a frame off resto.

From Orthodontic Technician To Opera Star
By day he's a highly skilled orthodontic technician in the oral health laboratory at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, but when the working day is over 33-year-old Huw Jones, from Easton, turns into a budding opera singer.
You can see him in action in the sponsor's advertising breaks during the series Popstar to Opera Star, which starts this Friday on ITV1.
Huw's passion for opera began three years ago when he went to see a production by the Glyndebourne Opera: "I was always a die-hard rock fan before I got hooked on opera," he says.
After joining the North Norfolk Chamber Opera group he quickly began to take on leading parts, culminating in the title role of Mozart's Don Giovanni in 2008: "There's an awful lot to learn – the score is 276 pages long and I had to learn it all by heart. I was singing while I worked, in the car, at home….everywhere!"
The chance to appear on TV came when a colleague showed him ad in the local paper calling for budding opera stars to take part in a short advertising film. He was invited to an audition in Norwich by Anglian Home Improvements, the programme's national sponsors, and his rich bass-baritone voice was an immediate hit.
It was not always so. Brought up in Aberdyfi, North Wales, he studied music to Grade 7 but was deterred from singing when his music teacher told him he had "a voice like a drain." Years later a flatmate overheard him singing along to the guitar and suggested he join a local amateur dramatic group: "I was amazed when I started to get compliments for my voice."
Huw shares his passion for opera with his wife Clair, a physiotherapist at NNUH and a classically trained ballet dancer who is currently assistant director for the North Norfolk Chamber Opera's forthcoming production of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.
So will he be giving up the day job any time soon? "I enjoy my job but I think everyone should have a dream," he says. "Mine is to perform on that stage at Covent Garden just once in my life!"

The auction itself is open to registered bidders, who may be asked to present a credit card and bank letter of guarantee. Admission for two people is $200.
In all 78 vehicles and many types of automobile memorabilia and even a few ornately decorated, wall-size musical organs are for sale.
The crown jewel of the car collection is a black 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWWB Cabriolet, which is expected to sell for at least $7 million.
Paul Andrews is founder of electronic parts distributor TTI Inc., which he sold to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway in 2007.
His son, Chris Andrews, attended art school in Paris and worked for Yahoo! before returning to Fort Worth to handle the car collection on a more day-to-day basis.
For the father-son duo, the auction is a chance to thin out their car collection, and they intend to keep 15 to 20 vehicles that aren't included in the sale. Maintenance on nearly 100 vehicles, each with its hard-to-find parts, is a full-time job, Chris Andrews said.
Plus, the Andrews family puts a premium on not only on keeping cars in showroom shape, but also taking them out on the road. It's difficult to keep that many cars in working order.
▪ The auction begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at Panther City Classic Auto, 8400 W. Freeway in Fort Worth.
▪ The auction is open to registered bidders, who may be asked to present a credit card and bank letter of guarantee. Admission for two people is $200.

Uyghurs, CCP Fake News Exposed by New UHRP Report
Another "Transformation Through Education" Camp for Uyghurs Exposed in Xinjiang (Photo from Bitter Winter)
The Uyghur Human Rights Project reveals new details on Beijing's massive campaign to persuade the world that there is no persecution in Xinjiang.
by Ruth Ingram
Propaganda exposed
Disappearing Uyghur graveyards, magically re-appearing; loved ones assumed dead in the camps paraded on world television with not a care in the world; and penniless villagers hailed reborn as entrepreneurs and factory bosses: the Chinese State propaganda apparatus has been working overtime to convince the international community of its philanthropic intentions towards the Uyghurs.
Beijing's stepped-up fake news campaign to whitewash the scandal of abuse taking place in Xinjiang has been exposed in the Uyghur Human Rights Project latest report released this week, entitled "The Happiest Muslims in the World": Disinformation, Propaganda, and the Uyghur Crisis.
From initial outright denial of the existence of transformation through education camps, the report traces the rise of Chinese engagement since 2017 with both national and world opinion, as the extent of human rights abuses is unveiled. The report records the masterful engineering of the CCP, as it rallies the support of compliant nations to rebuff an onslaught of horror and dismay from the free world.
"As increasing evidence of the scale and nature of the extrajudicial detention campaign has emerged, the Chinese government has shifted the narrative on the camps, first from silence, to denial, to attempts to frame them as "vocational training centers," a tool in a "legitimate counter-terrorist struggle," says the report.
From old to new propaganda
Once overwhelming satellite evidence made continuing denials impossible, justifications for the camps were framed against the "war on terror." By publishing the now infamous shot of blue uniformed prisoners sitting in a courtyard in Lop County, the CCP reckoned to bring the world onboard with its efforts to stamp out terrorism at home, and hoped to push the mass detention of Uyghurs as a potential model for other countries' counter-terrorism campaigns.
Far from satisfying free world opinion, once the scale and arbitrariness of the mass arrests and incarcerations was exposed by scholars and exiled Uyghur witness reports, Beijing stepped up its own disinformation offensive on all fronts to field the subsequent outcry. Faced with a welter of accusations of human rights abuse, including physical torture, psychological trauma, and death, the CCP galvanized its own multi-pronged information control strategy to prevent access to accurate information, whilst simultaneously launching vicious attacks discrediting individual activists, journalists and institutions reporting on the issue.
Researcher Adrian Zenz has been singled out for special treatment by the CCP mouthpiece Global Times in a recent character assassination, amid accusations of "rumor mongering" and "sensational" reporting, as has the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), which has been accused of being an "anti-China think tank, funded by the Australian Department of Defense, military contractors and foreign governments including NATO, the US State Department and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office," that push "China-related lies."
From pictures of grown men in blue uniforms in 2017, when the initial roundups and extra-judicial sentencing got underway, the CCP machine swiftly moved on to maneuver world attention towards a more benevolent concept of "vocational training schools." These were supposedly "voluntary" colleges designed to steer "wayward" youth infected with the "virus" and "mental illness of Islam," towards an ideologically and culturally purged future.
Forays into these establishments by groups of carefully selected journalists, sympathetic diplomats and world leaders produced footage of singing, dancing, smiling young people, who had "voluntarily" admitted themselves for correction, brimming with gratitude for their rescue from a life of extremism.
The propaganda campaign has also taken the form of state-sponsored news articles and public statements by officials that paint a false image of the purpose of the camps, and legitimize Chinese government policies.
Muslim nations submerged in debt to China and afraid to rock their aid boat, have been galvanized by Beijing to turn a blind eye to the horrors being inflicted towards their Islamic brothers. The Global Times is always quick to tell the world how backing for the Uyghurs by democratic countries, pales into insignificance compared to the groundswell of support by Islamic nations.
Manipulating social media
The greater the negative publicity from opponents and the more watertight the case against the CCP, the more intense the CCP backlash has become against its critics. Ironically, given that Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube are all banned within China, each of these social media platforms are vigorously used by the CCP machinery to dispel criticism and disseminate misleading information.
In the wake of the coronavirus crisis, China has stopped at nothing to use social media, including its own domestic platforms WeChat and Douyin (TikTok), as its new front in the public opinion struggle vis à vis the Uyghur human rights crisis.
The Global Times and other media outlets have used paid promotion of their stories on foreign social media platforms as a further technique to amplify the Chinese official narrative. Between June and August of 2019, the Global Times promoted through paid advertisements more than 50 English tweets on the social media platform, including tweets obscuring the reality of the internment camps.
Stories promoted on Twitter have manufactured an image of a benevolent China seeking to develop "less advanced" regions, as it happened with one story featuring a video of Chinese government officials delivering medical supplies to elderly Uyghur individuals.
Increasing numbers of bots on Twitter promote the narrative of "fighting terrorism" and feature state-commissioned videos, such as the short documentary by CGTN (China Global Television Network) entitled "The Black Hand – ETIM and Terrorism in Xinjiang" (2019), which gives the impression that Xinjiang is permanently engulfed in war, whereas the reality on the ground is one of a cowed, unbearably surveyed population trying to live peaceful lives, enjoying their culture and following their religion.
Articles by Chinese media outlets also promote articles on Facebook, targeting users in India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Central Asian states. The CGTN's August 16th, 2019 Facebook posting boasted that "Xinjiang's Vocational Education and Training Centers never interfere in the freedom of religious belief."
On January 9, 2019, a Malaysian diplomat after visiting the camps was quoted as saying "What we saw during the visit was opposite to some Western media reports, and Xinjiang is seeking an effective way to counter extremism and terrorism."
"Hostage propaganda"
A final and distressing straw for bereaved and anguished members of the Uyghur diaspora who have been denied access to the whereabouts of their loved ones for the past four years has been an acceleration of Chinese state media videos featuring coerced statements by their family members. These videos are tantamount to "hostage propaganda," in which Uyghurs on the ground in Xinjiang deny that they have been mistreated in any way, and proceed to denounce their overseas relatives for spreading "lies."
The UHRP, in compiling this report, has called on the world to wake up to CCP tactics that camouflage the truth. "China's attempts to justify human rights abuses by promoting falsehoods constitute an issue international institutions must work to combat," urge the authors. "Promoting its system of detention camps as a potential model for counter-terrorism poses a threat to human rights around the world."
It pleads with concerned states, intergovernmental organizations, and civil society groups to press for access and transparency in Xinjiang, and make efforts to counter the spread and influence of false information.
"Politicians and international media must not fall into the trap of recycling the CCP's brazen and cynical disinformation and propaganda," urged UHRP director Omer Kanat.

With the seemingly inexorable rise in the popularity of baroque-era music over the last 30 years, has come a raft of counter-tenor voices capable of expressing this music. Across the channel the Jedward lookalike Philippe Jaroussky is regularly mobbed; in America the rather doleful David Daniels rules. Here, the great German Andreas Scholl is rightly considered the voice sans pareil, and he demonstrates his craft well in this sublime aria from Giulio Cesare, the 1724 opera by G F Handel.
It would be no exaggeration to say that without Alfred Deller's pioneering work after the war, none of the counter-tenor voices heard today would have had the repertoire upon which to base their artistry. Discovered by the composer Michael Tippett singing in the Canterbury choir, he went on to form his own consort and, in effect, kick-started the early music movement. Here, his modest, self-effacing delivery is packed into less than two minutes of magic.
Take a line from Tiny Tim through the late Blossom Dearie, add some pungent English mustard, a touch of New York sass, and a voice as big as a house, and you get the quirky Nellie McKay, London born but raised in New York. The feminist song is her own, which she follows with the wonderful Irving King standard. She might get big, but I hope not. I hope she stays just the way she is.
Around the same time as Handel was writing Giulio Cesare above, Rameau was working on his opera bouffe Platee in Paris. From the second act, this amazing piece of froth is the show-stopper from La Folie. Made famous in the Paris Opera production, Mireille Delunsch inhabits the role here, in concert.
Mahlerman's life was shaped by his single mother, who never let complete ignorance of a subject get in the way of having strong opinions about it. Facing retirement after a life in what used to be called 'trade', and having a character that consists mainly of defects, he spends his moments of idleness trying to correct them, one by one.

I have to admit to being a total peasant when it comes to Baroque music, and so I found Ms McKay's ukelele a welcome addition to the genre. Incredible voices though – I wonder if those chaps linvite their old school friends to their performances or if at class reunions they pretend that they've got jobs as welders etc instead.
Well GD, the plain truth, once the nudge-nudge factor is put aside, is that the precursors of the modern counter-tenors, were the castrati in Italy. Before it was made illegal in the 1860's, thousands of poor pre-pubescent boys were railroaded by their families into testicular removal for no better reason than to give themselves a chance to emerge from poverty, as these voices were prized in music, inside and outside the church. The modern equivalent would be the pushy parent, urging a talentless child onto Cowell's X-Factor, to free them from a sink-estate life, and to find transient fame and perhaps wealth. The ironic pearl in the cow-pad was that castrati were particularly feted by girls and women, probably intoxicated by the ethereal sound but also, one imagines, by the impossibilty of being impregnated by these superstars.
By the tread on my wha-wha pedal mahlherman, you have more brooms in your cupboard than a sharp stick can be safely shaken at. Thankfull Benjamin B was that Peter Pears still had his tackle,somewhere to keep his baton warm on a cold Aldeburgh night.
You have to admit though ,considering their rarity,how strange it is that two castrati fought out the labour party leadership contest.
Thanks for your informative explanation, Mahlermeister. Over here in Romania we had our own version, a gypsy called Dona Dumitru Siminica who back in day had all Bucharest totttie at his disposal on account of singing like a lass.
Blimey Gadgo, Sarkozy would have him on the first plane out.
Thank you mahlerman for introducing me to Nellie McKay – what a find! You mentioned Blossom Dearie and Tiny Tim in your comparison – both very appropriate (esp. Tiny Tim) but there's a dash, just a dash, of the marvellous Tom Lehrer in there too, though they differ in purpose; he set out to entertain only (in the driest and wittiest way) while she, at least in her feminist song, was making a bitter point. Very sweetly, though.

Quartz Mountain Aerospace once again in financial trouble.
It looks as though Quartz Mountain Aerospace just cannot catch a break.
The company issued a press release just yesterday announcing a temporary resizing of the workforce at both the Altus and Coffeyville, Kan. facilities.
The announcement comes days after rumors began to circulate that the company is in financial trouble yet again, a mere 2 months after its CEO, Mark Arciero, went before the Altus Municipal Trust Authority and asked for a million dollar loan.
Several anonymous e-mails and calls have been placed to the Altus Times claiming that not only have QMA employee hours been dropped from 40 to 24 since Oct. 6, but also their health benefits have been canceled.
Tracy Thomason, vice president of business development for QMA, explained that the resizing is vital to the success of the company.
"Everybody right now is feeling the economic crunch," he said. "So we dont have to close our doors completely, we have implemented this temporary downsizing."
In a special meeting back in September, the Municipal Trust Authority agreed to loan QMA $200,000 as part of a temporary loan agreement with the city.
Days before, Arciero had explained to the board that QMA was so far in the red, it did not even have enough money to pay its more than 140 employees and staff on its next scheduled payday.
Arciero also assured the MTA that an investment endorsement between Riviere Jenson Securities, Ltd. of Austin, Texas and QMA would produce enough money to pay back the loan and ease the companys financial burden with a net amount of $120,000,000.
But in the press release, Arciero said, "The final piece of the puzzle is the Bond and we are extremely confident that it will be in place late November."
Thomason said that the company is only going by the information that is being given to them in regards to the loan.
One employee alleges that company payday was last Friday and no one has received a paycheck yet.
Thomason said that QMA is working to insure that all employee payroll and health benefits stay in effect during the temporary resizing.
Several attempts to were made to contact Arciero for a comment, but he has not returned phone calls.


I have a requirement where i need two timers in review task.
1) Which will send warning mail to reviewer after some time.
2)This will be expired later on after 1st timer which will transit workflow to rejected node.
But now problem is that when second timer expires it will transit to Rejection node and from that node it will auto transit to end.
It is successfully doing transition to Rejected node but it is not ending the present task properly because of which it still appears in the users dashlet just transition buttons are removed from that task.
I guess this is because transition done by System instead of users.
Is there any way by which timer can end the present task so that it will be removed from dashlet of user.

Son's Hilarious Christmas Tweet About Parents Goes Viral
Gotta get that perfect shot for the 'Gram!
By Rebecca Angel Baer
Libbfit/Instagram
Friends and family from near and far all gather together for the holidays. It's a time for good food, decking the halls, reminiscing over days gone by, and of course, creating some new memories. And these days, it's second nature to capture these memories on social media.
That's exactly what Taylor Burkhalter thought he was doing when he posted some fun photos of his parents on Christmas Eve. Only the funny moment he was sharing with friends turned into a viral hit overnight!
Burkhalter, who works for a marketing firm in Fayetteville, Arkansas, is home visiting his parents in Shreveport, Louisiana. He captured this loving moment between his parents and had a little fun in the description.
Southern Living spoke to Taylor's mom Libby about their viral family photo. While Libby uses social media for her personal training and health coach business, she said that none of them expected the response that they received. "This all started as Christmas fun, being silly with no expectations! My son has an awesome sense of humor."
Libby also shared with us that while her husband was mucking it up for the camera and giving us his best "disgruntled" look, he was also having a blast. "My husband is a great sport and always helpful! We've been married 33 years. We enjoy having fun with our kids!"
WATCH: Reba's Family Has The Best Christmas Traditions
With nearly 300,000 retweets and counting, it's clear that their Christmas fun has been enjoyed by the masses. Since the post did garner such attention, Libby hopes to have conveyed some positive lessons.
"I think the best take away is to just be your authentic self. Have fun making memories with your family and friends and be you! Don't take yourself too seriously," she said.
Check out the final product of the Burkhalter family photo shoot below.

Sometimes I find it entertaining to think of presentation mishaps as sharks sliding silently, heavily, somewhere beneath a perfectly calm ocean. You may not see fins break the surface but you know they're out there somewhere and you are doing everything you can to not give them a reason to swim over and remove any body parts that you use on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, from time to time, we have all worked with a person who might best be thought of as mishap bait.
You're busy taking every possible precaution to keep the mishap sharks from attacking and this person seems determined to fling bucket after slimy bucket of chum off the back of the boat. Not only do they tend to indulge an unfortunate predilection for swimming out to that really spooky buoy in the middle of the night, they also splash around like a wounded tuna while doing so.
In less metaphoric terms, they are the person that everything bad seems to happen to. They tempt fate. They are disaster baiters.
You might be tempted to put someone like this off the boat onto their own little rubber dinghy where they can dangle their feet in the water to their heart's content. The sharks will most likely follow them. That might be good for you but it will most likely be bad for them and you'll be a crew member short.
What's the best way you've found for dealing with the dreaded disaster baiter? Do you throw them overboard or do you force them to watch Shark Week reruns until they get it?
The rest of Jeff Harrison's story details what he took away from the experience,what he'll do next time and includes some great tips for using lavaliere mics.
make sure it's "The Last One Percent that Kills You" by Dan Pallotta. A huge percentage of the all the presentation mishaps and disasters written about on this blog in the last three years could have been avoided by adhearance to the principles it outlines.
They assured us that they had a flat screen TV that would accommodate the slide show. I arrived an hour before the party to set up. Sure enough, the TV was there, but the input jacks were inaccessible. They were on the back of the TV, and it was bolted to the wall. I wasn't until the party was nearly over that we learned that we could access the input jacks through an outlet in the floor.
For example, I've seen more charity events than I can count at which expensive banners get produced but no one has thought about the last step — how they're going to be rigged. People think they'll figure it out when they get there. But 40 mile-an-hour winds require a little more thought than that. The work of a branding company, a graphic design firm, and a banner production company are all thwarted because the banner can't be hung.
Beware the tacit agreement. If someone says something that doesn't make any sense to you, don't politely nod, pretend that you understand, and let it go. If you don't understand what they're talking about, there's a damned good chance they don't either. We've all experienced a thousand conversations in which neither of us understood what was just said, but we both just let it go and implicitly hope for the best. Don't be reticent. Speak up.
He continues with five more suggestions that are even more useful (Develop a Pavlovian reaction to the words "I think", Have multiple conversations about the same thing, Fill in the blanks, Speak like an air-traffic controller, Visualize disaster).
I can't say enough about this article. It should be taped to every cubical and office wall in the world.


Do you have mice infestation in your home? Do critters creep you out? While there are many insecticides in the market, they mostly contain toxic chemicals that can be dangerous to you, your family and pets. Thankfully, there are a wide variety of safe and natural alternatives you can go for.
From natural essential oils like peppermint and lavender to plants like wormwood and bay leaves, we have 30 impressive tricks to help you keep those unwanted guests away from your home.
If you are looking for a super cheap, non-toxic and less messy way to get rid of mice, then you should try using instant mashed potatoes. Sprinkle a few tablespoons in the corners they frequently hang out. Once the mice consume it, the potato flakes will expand in their stomachs, and kill them fast before complete digestion.
Of course, keep your pets in mind. Ensure you keep the instant mashed potatoes away from your pets because it could harm them if they are placed carelessly.
Did you know that crushed eggshells can help you get rid of garden pests? If you want to start gardening as a hobby, then crushed egg shells should be one of your favorite hat tricks. Crushed eggshells can serve as effective organic pest control and compost for added nutrients to your garden.
Crush the dried eggshells and sprinkle it around the base of your plants. It is natural and eco-friendly and will deter slugs, beetles, snails, and other pests from destroying your plants.
28. Say Goodbye to Spiders with Vinegar!
Here's a trivia fact you didn't know: spiders HATE vinegar. Vinegar is a great spider repellant. Spiders find the smell repulsive. Well, if you've been trying to fight off a spider infestation, then here's your deal breaker. All you need to do is fill a mixture of vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray the outside of your home along the walls and windowsills, crevices and doorways.
The pungent smell and the sour taste will keep the spiders away from your home. If you find the smell of vinegar offensive, use it in moderation.
Do you have a spider invasion in your home? All hope isn't lost because we have an all-natural and effective spider repellent for those eight-legged freaks – peppermint oil. Spiders hate the smell of peppermint.
So, if you want to take back your home from them, mix a solution of water and peppermint oil and spray it around the corners of your home. Mission accomplished.
Despite what you've been made to believe, mice are not so crazy above cheese. Cartoons like Tom and Jerry may have let you believe wrongly that you can use cheese to catch mice. However, a number of studies have revealed that mice actually hate cheese! The smell of cheese is stinky to them.
So, if you're looking to keep them at bay, place chunks of cheese in their favorite hangouts and you can be sure to get rid of mice from your space.
If you are looking for a powerful, natural and non-toxic insect repellent, try using clove oil. It is a safe alternative to commercial insecticides. Many insects such as ants and roaches are usually drawn to the sweet smell of clove oil, but it kills them on contact. You can also use whole, dried cloves to repel insects.
The pungent smell of the cloves is repulsive to critters like mosquitoes, ants, moths, and flies. Most insecticides are harmful to children and animals, but with clove oil, only the insects will come into harm's way.
Looking for a natural mosquito repellent? You may be surprised that coconut oil can be of help. Coconut oil is an amazing and versatile elixir that can do a fine job of protecting you from mosquitoes.
Its oil contains compounds that have long-lasting repellant properties against mosquitoes. To cap it all, you won't have to worry about applying toxic mosquito repellants all over your body!
Bay leaves have been found to be a potent and natural roaches repellant. While it won't kill insects, its pungent smell is very offensive to cockroaches and would keep them far away from the spots you've placed the bay leaves. Whether dry or fresh, scatter bay leaves around your home, especially the corners that roaches frequent.
You can also crush the leaves into powder, and sprinkle it around the favorite spots on roaches in your home. You'll be amazed at just how quick roaches will flee from your personal space.
Mice can't stand the smell of cayenne pepper. Simply soak some cotton balls in water and cayenne and pepper solution.
Leave the cotton balls in the spots around your home where you often find mice frequent and watch how they mysteriously vacate your home.
Cinnamon oil works like magic! Gnats and mosquitoes can't stand a chance with cinnamon.
It is a very effective insect repellent and can also kill mosquito larvae. Add a few drops of cinnamon oil to your favorite sunscreen or lotion and apply to your skin. You can also spray cinnamon oil on your plants to ward off mosquitoes and other insects. It sure works!
One common myth is that drawing a chalk line deters ants from passing through because they see it as a barrier. Yeah, this is somehow true, but ants are not bitter spirits that can be fended off with chalk lines. The truth is that ants won't walk through powdery substances such as chalk dust or talcum powder because they are made of calcium carbonate, which interferes with their ability to follow the scent trails of other ants. They keep away from anything that interferes with their scent trail.
Sprinkle some chalk dust in any area in your home where there are usually ants. Ensure you keep chalk or talcum powder from the reach of your children and pets.
Ah, summertime! Plenty of sunshine and lots of mosquitoes to go round! To keep mosquitoes away from your home, try planting wormwood around your home. This natural repellent does a good job of protecting you from mosquitoes, and it's also eco-friendly.
However, whatever you do, don't apply it on your skin if you don't want rashes on your skin. The plant's strong odor repels mosquitoes. Plant it around your house and you're good to go!
The greatest enemy of the household mouse is a cat. Keeping a cat in your home will make it free of rodents. It's a natural repellent that works pretty well to ward off cats. The smell of cat urine repels mice from making your house its home. But then, you'll have to deal with the smell yourself.
Some cats also hunt mice for food but most of them, if they are well fed, just hunt them because mice movements disturb them. Place your cat litter box strategically around your home, and it will be the perfect barrier between you and having your home invaded by mice.
Citronella oil is a natural insect repellent and works like a charm. Whether you're trying to ward off bloodsucking or pesky gnats, citronella oil and citronella candles do a great job.
You can spray citronella around your house or use it as a body lotion. If you're camping with friends at night, you can also burn fresh citronella in a bonfire, and it will keep insects away for up to two hours. Neat, right?
It is a widespread belief that dryer sheets can keep mosquitoes away from your home and gnats away from your garden. Some dryer sheets have insect-repellent. Some studies have shown that it works.
Other bugs that the dryer sheets can ward off are certain mites, food-infesting beetles and weevils, and German cockroaches. Just rub the dryer sheet on your skin or keep a few in your pocket and it will be like you're wearing an invisible cloak.
Are there holes in your walls and floors or some crevices? Well, they could be free gateways for mice to gain easy access to your home.
An effective way of preventing rodents from invading your home is by plugging the areas with steel wool. Mice can't eat through steel wool, so no more disturbances from them.
With lavender oil, you'll fight off mosquitoes and still smell good while at it. Mosquitoes hate the fragrance of lavender oil, and they'll avoid contact with it at all costs. All you have to do it apply it on your skin or spray it around the house.
Thanks to the antibacterial properties of this essential oil, it will not only protect you from mosquito bites but also soothes the skin as well. You can also burn crushed lavender flowers in a jar to keep mosquitoes away on a warm summer night.
Just like garlic, mosquitoes can't stand onions either. Slicing onions and spreading them around your garden can keep pests from destroying your plants, but if you want to keep mosquitoes away, make some onion juice and spray it around your garden.
You'll get rid of pesky insects away from your garden with ease.
By mixing cocoa powder and plaster together attracts the mice to the area. Once they eat the mixture, they'll go in search of water, which will activate the plaster and kill them quickly. Oops, too bad but good riddance anyway.
You can try out the superpower of Borax if you are looking for a fast and effective way to get rid of ants. Take back your kitchen from invading ants with Borax. Simply mix 1½ tablespoons of Borax, 1½ cups of warm water and ½ cup of sugar into the mixture.
Then soak cotton balls in the solution and place them in the areas where you have ants. The sugar in the solution will attract the ants to the cotton balls. The ants will die within 24 – 48 hours after contact with the Borax.
Do you know that ants detest cucumbers? So now that you understand their secret, you can use it against them if they prove to be a disturbance. All you need to do is slice cucumbers peels and place them in the ants' favorite spots or entry points.
Ants detest the smell of cucumber, so most of them naturally vacate anywhere cucumbers are found. Be sure to replace them with fresh ones often so they won't spoil.
Cedar chips are a natural way to keep bugs off from your space. Cedar contains natural oils and chemicals that repel or kill insects such as termites, carpet beetles, cockroaches, cloth-eating moths, and some types of ants, such as odorous and Argentine. You can sprinkle them indoors, in your drawers and closets, or in your garden.
You can also put them in sachets and place them in various corners of your house. Any way you choose to do it, it will work wonders at keeping bugs away.
Diatomaceous Earth is one sure way of getting rid of insects in your home. It's a powder-like substance made from the remains of super tiny aquatic organisms and has a wide variety of uses.
It also contains calcium carbonate that repels bugs. You can sprinkle it on your carpets, in your cabinets and around the outside of your house to get rid of bed bugs, fleas, ants and even roaches. Diatomaceous Earth dries out bugs within 48 hours, allowing you to stop an infestation very quickly.
Thyme oil works well to protect you from malarial mosquitoes. It contains chemical compounds that provide you and your family with unmatched protection. From recent research, it was found that thyme oil can provide 91% protection against mosquito bites when it is applied directly to the skin.
If you're outdoors or camping with friends, you can also add fresh thyme into the campfire and get up to 85 minutes protection. Pretty cool, right?
Just the way garlic repels vampires in movies, it works against mosquitoes as well. Interesting right? It seems garlic is poisonous to bloodsuckers. The smell of garlic fends off mosquitoes as far as their smell detectors will allow, and they usually won't return to sprayed areas for over a month.
You can easily make a DIY all-natural garlic spray by squeezing the juice of garlic cloves and placing it in a spray bottle. Spray around the outside of your home, and you'll be free from those pesky bloodsuckers. We suggest you use this as an outside insect repellent only because the smell is difficult to get out.
5. Citrus Peels: Bugs Be Gone!
The smell of citrus is another scent that mosquitoes and gnats can't stand. Research has shown that these pests will fly a thousand miles away from the scent of citrus until they can no longer pick up the smell of it.
So, if you're looking for a natural insect repellent while you're outdoors, wipe the rind of an orange or lemon on your skin. The oils from the rind will form a shield between you and the flying pests. Good news is that you'll also smell good while at it!
Recent studies have shown that catnip repels mosquitoes better than most insecticides in the market. Its all-natural components mean you won't be applying toxic chemicals to your skin.
Thanks to the essential oils present in the catnip plant, its smell repels mosquitoes TEN TIMES better than the compounds found in retail products. However, you should take extra care to keep it away from your cat; if you have one, else your catnip will disappear.
If you've owned animals, you've probably seen a flea or two around your pets or livestock. Flea drugs are usually expensive and packed full of chemicals. Thanks to a natural-repellent like tea tree oil, you can quickly get rid of fleas in your home without worrying about harmful chemicals.
Insects don't like the smell of tea tree oil, and it also contains chemical properties that kill fleas upon contact. Just pour the oil in a spray bottle and add a little water. Spray it around your house and watch how the fleas will be running for the hills!
Mice detest pungent smells, and eucalyptus oil sure has a strong smell. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the spots where you've previously found mice droppings or where they usually frequent. You can also put it in a spray bottle and diffuse the scent around your home.
The sweet smell of the oil is pleasing to humans but awful to rodents. There you have it, the perfect solution to keep those home-wrecking menaces away.
Vanilla extract is one DIY insect repellent we love to use. It repels a variety of insects including mosquitoes, flies, and gnats. Cool, right? Just add a tablespoon of vanilla extract in a container and mix it with a tablespoon of water. Apply it on your skin and enjoy a bug-free camping trip with your family and friends.
You can also put it in a spray bottle by adding one part vanilla to two parts water and spray it around your house. You would be surprised how those insects would keep a wide distance from you!

The campers this morning played Bingo before lunch, and got to win little prizes! Everyone is so sad to leave today, but we have made so many memories, and it's a blessing to see every camper grow closer and **closer** to God.
It's amazing to experience their journey and see how God is working through their hearts and lives. Countless stories and memories will be remembered and told from this breathtaking week at Epworth. Everyone is dreading saying goodbye, but everyone is also looking forward to next year!
Don't forget that you can always check here for more photos of the campers from this week!
Can you believe that the week is almost over? It's already Thursday!
This morning we discussed God's never-ending grace and how He is always here for us, in times of light and dark.
God is all mercy and grace— not quick to anger, is rich in love.
He is so forgiving of all the wrongs we have done, and things we have said. God's grace is like an ocean, unfathomable in depth, and as far as the eye can see. And unlike the Earth, whose water only covers 71% of the planet, God's love is never-ending, it covers everything.
You can find more about God's grace here. There is also a free devotional that you can complete that relates to Psalm 145 here!
Here is a morning update from the lovely Sara, our Assistant Program Manager!
Young Adult and Adult campers participate in Storytelling, Crafts and games, every morning from 9:30 to lunch at noon. Here are some photos from their activities!
Pastor Dave led us in some scripture, and said that we don't have to worry about tomorrow, that God has His way.

It's been 50 years since the first campers of REYOAD stayed at Epworth Forest! We had a special celebration to remember all the memories campers have made over the years. A few special guests made an appearance, those that have been coming here or working here since they very first summer.
Pastor Dave talked about how blessed we are to have this place to congregate, and that there are many more years to come of blessings and joy; these campers have given the camp that.
He then blessed bread and grape juice as the campers and staff participated in the first Holy Communion in the new Discipleship Center. While taking Communion, those in their seats sang along to The Anchor Holds by Ray Holtz.
It was awe-inspiring to see everyone just give their hearts over to Christ and turn in their troubles and worries and just enjoy the moment they are in right now.
Check out the photos from the evening below! You can find many more from tonight here!
Afterwards, everyone headed to the Dining Hall for a 50th Anniversary celebration! Cake and ice cream floats were served, and everyone pitched in singing Happy Anniversary to REYOAD.
Look below for some pictures from the lovely night! And check out more at the gallery!
Campers this morning participated in another gorgeous day of boating and fishing out on the lakefront.
When you are down and need help, never feel like you can't ask for help from a friend.
He shared a great testimony about a time when he was really down and didn't know what to do or where to go and a friend gave him a shoulder to lean on and gain strength in a tough area.
He furthermore talked about how Jesus had friends and needed them too.
You can find this Bible verse here.
After Jamboree, campers were invited to stay in the Beach House and buy snacks and soda from the counter or go down to the water and swim!
It's finally here! Campers have began to get ready for the nautical-themed gala tonight. They are being treated to spa-like treatment. Everything from getting their nails done, to their hair being curled, applying cologne and tying ties!
Due to potential bad thunderstorms drifting towards North Webster, the gala this evening had to be cut a little short...but this didn't stop everyone from having a good time!
Everyone was dancing, smiling and tapping their toes along to the music! Here are some photos from the glamorous night!
You can see more from the evening in our gallery!
Pastor Dave led everyone in a short devotional after worship. He talked about how we are taught from when we are little to not talk to strangers or trust people we don't know.
Yet, we are challenged to follow Jesus, and so were the disciples. They had to give up everything and follow this man they didn't really know.
Passing along the beach of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew net-fishing. Fishing was their regular work. Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass." They didn't ask questions. They dropped their nets and followed.

Here are some photos from the boat ride this afternoon on the local legendary Dixie Boat!
You can see more from the outing at our gallery!
It's the first full day of camp and everyone is eagerly anticipating the activities for today! Campers started off the morning with a lakeside worship led by some of the talented staff; Pastor Dave added a verse of hymns also!
This morning the campers are going fishing and boating which is a great reminder to us all that life may not always give you what you want at the moment (like seaweed) but if you are patient, God will give you what you need, whether it be a fish, or an answered prayer!
Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!
You can find the Bible verse and more of the story here.
Here are some photos from today's fishing and boating activities!
And as always, you can view more photos in our gallery!
Today our first campers arrived! It is such a blessing to finally get to have the REYOAD campers back at Epworth! Everyone was so excited; they cannot wait for the many activities we have planned for this week!
After the campers got settled in, we gathered at the new Bishop Mike and Marsha Coyner Discipleship Center to have a ribbon cutting! The campers got the opportunity to walk the halls of the new building, check out the auditorium, and play games in the lobby. The REYOAD campers seemed to be just as excited about the Discipleship Center as we are!
It was incredible to see the pure excitement and joy on everyone's faces - and it's merely day one of REYOAD 2017! The staff cannot wait to experience God's love and grace this week with the campers.
Our theme this year is to be anchored in Jesus. Many of the campers have donned sailor hats and made nautical-themed crafts this afternoon. We will continue to see how God can work his ocean-wide grace through the week and in the lives of everyone.
Check back tomorrow for more updates on what the campers are up to! Here are a few photos from the campers registering! To see more, click here.

RPG Professional Game Master Coaching — RPG Research, we use music & role-playing games to help people heal & improve the quality of life for diverse populations around the world!
A question posted that I stumbled across brought this to mind about professional Dungeons Masters (DM), and coaching to help those wanting to become better game masters (GM).
The non-profit RPG Research has been providing training since 2004 (that would be us, nearly 50 dedicated volunteers across North & South America, EU, and even Saudi Arabia).
Through Therapeutic Recreation, individual GM training was available in Washington state for professionals in various educational and healthcare facilities between 2006 through 2014 for organizations (and a few rare individuals) for $120/hr before incorporating as the for-profit organization RPG Therapeutics LLC began offering paid GM services and training in 2014.
Work began on creating certification programs in 2015, the certification undergoes a number of changes but is currently the Certified RPG Professional (CRPGP) attempting to establish minimum professional standards, codes of conduct, etc, similar to tech certs, but still a bit of a moving target.
The Role-play Workshop, established in late 1980s and still going strong in Oakland California has provided training to game masters for years, and has hired those sufficiently trained to run their custom system and setting.
The online learning Rpg.Education website offers online courses starting around 25 USD per course with 6 months access.
A number of organizations in the last few years have begun paying to train people to run their programs, and other clients are increasingly offering to pay professionals to train them.
An increasing number of Baby Boomers that were gamers in the 70s and 80s, and hadn't picked it up since, are now aging into retirement and long term care communities and demanding services be provided to help them relive the RPG experience.


A so-called Zen garden (karesansui) perfectly maintained at the Japanese Garden area of the Missouri Botanical Garden. I love this place.
Spring blossoms were peaking out at the Japanese Garden.
The Missouri Botanical Garden features a beautiful English-style manor garden.
The orchid show is always popular at the Missouris Botanical Garden.
I always visit the Missouri Botanical Garden, in south St. Louis, when I see my family in the St. Louis area. It remains one of the constants in life that weathers the turbulence of the larger world and my personal world. It is where my mother and I have spent some of best times as we have gotten older, together.
Things have changed for us, but less so for the Garden. I like that. Perhaps I need that. It remains a beautiful place with phenomenal displays of flowers, plants, and mini ecosystems from the world over. My favorite section of the Garden is the serene and exquisitely maintained Japanese Garden.
During our visit, my mom and I also saw the lovely orchid show. The daffodils and crocuses were blooming–daffodils being the beautiful harbinger of spring. I had never seen that many before at the Garden, probably because I do not visit just before the vernal equinox. It was really nice to see the Garden right as the season was changing.
If you visit St. Louis, this should be on your top three list of things to see besides the Gateway Arch and Forest Park/Zoo/Art Museum (all in Forest Park).
The Japanese Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden is one of my favorite places in St. Louis. Whenever I visit, I always come here, usually with my mom, and enjoy the serenity and beauty of this incredibly peaceful place. The 14-acre site within the larger garden complex was opened in 1977 and remains one of the most visited places in St. Louis, and for great reason. Visit the garden if you come to St. Louis. You will not be disappointed.
Japanese garden, but can you guess where?
I took this shot on a winter's day in a Japanese garden. Try and guess where.


This is beautiful and from my perspective, heartbreaking. Not only for the thoughts of losing love, which I have, but of losing someone to disease and eventually death. One of the people who inspired the writing of my story is dying slowly and rather horribly. He had the most beautiful eyes, which are now dimmed by dementia. I love the wording in this piece.

Will Google Glass have Samsung to contend with?
James Martin/CNET
Samsung has its sights set on new wearable technology, according to a recent patent filing in Korea.
Samsung has registered a design patent for eyewear that connects to a smartphone, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The eyewear includes earphones that allow people to listen to phone calls or music. According to the Journal, the eyewear shows information on the lenses from the phone. The lenses can be transparent or not, depending on the usage needs.
Samsung's proposed eyewear is somewhat similar to Google Glass, though it appears to be an accessory for a smartphone, rather than a standalone device, like Google Glass. According to the Journal, the Samsung eyewear also tries to appeal to "sporty" users who can't be handling a phone during exercise.
It's not clear whether Samsung has any plans to launch the eyewear. Like most companies, Samsung files for patents on a wide array of technologies. Many of those products never launch.


Sophronia continues her second year at finishing school in style--with a steel-bladed fan secreted in the folds of her ball gown, of course. Such a fashionable choice of weapon comes in handy when Sophronia, her best friend Dimity, sweet sootie Soap, and the charming Lord Felix Mersey hijack a suspiciously empty train to return their chum Sidheag to her werewolf pack in Scotland. But when Sophronia discovers they are being trailed by a dirigible of Picklemen and flywaymen, she unearths a plot that threatens to throw all of London into chaos. With her friends in mortal danger, Sophronia must sacrifice what she holds most dear--her freedom.


The Genus name Anagallis derives from the Greek word "anagelas", meaning "to laugh" and probably stems from the notion of the past ages that the herb could boost mood and relieve depression.
Other Common Names: Red pimpernel, pimpernel, red chickweed, poor man's weatherglass, bird's-eye, nonsblom (Norwegian), murajes (Spanish), mouron des champs (French), Acker-Gauchheil (German), nónblóm (Icelandic), puna-alpi (Finnish), rödmire (Swedish), rød arve (Danish).
Habitat: Scarlet pimpernel is most likely native to the Mediterranean region, but has now been introduced to most parts of the world with a temperate climate.
It prefers relatively sandy soil and can not tolerate shade very well. The species is spread by agricultural farming and occurs primarily as a weed in farmlands, fields, and gardens. It can also be found growing in fallow land, along roadsides and seashores.
Plant Description: Scarlet pimpernel is an annual plant and a member of the primrose family (Primulaceae). It is a low-growing, somewhat erect and bare plant that can grow up to 10-30 cm in height.
The stem is slightly edged and the leaves are opposite, oval or egg shaped. The red or blue flowers appear on the leaf axils and are seated individually on long shafts. Since the flower petals only have clear color on the upper side, the flowers can be difficult to detect when they are not fully opened.
The scarlet pimpernel blooms from June to August. The flowers are only open for few hours during the day, and only in good and sunny weather. If it becomes cloudy or it rains, they close rapidly. The plant's quick reaction to weather changes is reflected in one of its English common name, poor man's weatherglass.
The fruit is a spherical capsule containing many angular seeds. When the seeds are ripe they can spread by the slightest breeze.
Plant Parts Used: It is mostly the above-ground parts of the plant that have been used as herbal medicine. The herb is collected in the summer and used, preferably fresh, in liquid extracts or tinctures, but it can also be used dried. The herb is odorless but has a bitter taste.
Active Ingredient and Substances: Scarlet pimpernel constituents include a variety of saponins (such as anagallin and cyclamen), tannins and the substance cucurbitacin.
It is especially in the root that the highly toxic saponin cyclamin is found. It was first discovered in the plant ivy-leaved cyclamen (Cyclamen hederifolium), hence the name cyclamin. It can, even in small doses, induces vomiting and diarrhea, and at higher doses cause cramps and paralysis of paralysis of the respiratory system.
The constituents found in scarlet pimpernel can vary greatly and probably depend on several factors such as the soil composition, growing location and when the herb is collected.
It has been theorized that herbalists in the past, through careful observations, had enough knowledge regarding the growing and harvesting of the plant, that they could use the herb for medicinal purposes without doing harm. If this knowledge did exist it has in most cases been forgotten and few records of it remain.
Scarlet pimpernel was once regarded highly as a medicinal plant and its uses can be dated all the way back to the times of the ancient physicians Pliny the Elder ( 23 – 79 AD) and Pedanius Dioscorides (40 – 90 AD).
The plant kept a great reputation and status as an herbal medicine until the mid-1800s, but in the last hundred and fifty years or so its use has diminished, along with its application in folk medicine and traditional healing.
In ancient times the herb was thought to be of benefit for melancholy and diseases of the brain, and it has been established that it was used to treat epilepsy, rabies, tuberculosis, and depression.
In European folk medicine, it was once used as a medicinal herb for treating gallstones, cirrhosis, lung problems, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, dropsy, gout, and rheumatic conditions.
Scarlet pimpernel is a mucilage rich plant with a diuretic, expectorant, antitussive (a cough suppressing) and diaphoretic (sweat inducing) properties.
Because of these properties, the herb may be helpful in lowering high fever and expel phlegm and mucus in the chest and throat. In addition, it may be useful as an herbal remedy for the common cold or flu.
Despite the herb's many health properties, it does contain toxic substances and it is rarely applied or recommended for internal use in modern-day herbal medicine.
Externally, it has sometimes has been used to treat minor wounds, cuts, and scrapes due to its astringent effect. It has also been used to relieve gout and joint pain.
Juice from the plant can be rubbed on wasp and bee stings to relieve the pain and also to remove warts.
It has been suggested that the herb has psychoactive properties and its ancient use for depression, might hold some truth to it and the herb can actually have therapeutic benefits in that regard. However, more studies are needed to confirm if this is the case.
If scarlet pimpernel is intended for use as medicine, it must be done with great caution and only in very small doses. This herb is not suitable for self-medication and should only be used under the instructions and care of qualified health care professional knowledgeable in herbal medicine.
Some herbal literature recommends it as a tea with the dosage of 0.25-0.5 g of the dried, finely cut herb in a cup of boiling water, consumed in small sips throughout the day.
The whole plant contains the toxic saponin cyclamin with the highest amount present in the root. In small doses, it can cause vomiting and abdominal pain followed by diarrhea. In high doses, it can cause polyuria (excessive urination volume), tremors, convulsions and paralysis of the respiratory system which can even lead to death.
Although the herb was once used as food and in cooking and given the toxicity of the herb, it is highly advisable not to include it in any kind of cooking or as an ingredient in salads.
The plant contains saponins that are known to cause an external allergic reaction such skin irritations and rash in some people.

Many plants on the island of New Guinea are being threatened with extinction. The indigenous languages and customs associated with the plants run the same risk of disappearing. An international team of biologists, including from Naturalis Biodiversity Center, have done research into the biocultural links between indigenous peoples and nature. In their paper in Science Advances they highlight the influence climate change has on the unique cultures of New Guinea.
Bij Naturalis zijn we dag en nacht bezig om de collectie aan te vullen als rijksmuseum, academisch onderzoeksinstituut en erfgoedinstelling.
New Guinea is one of the most diverse islands in the world, both culturally as well as biologically. 15 percent of all living languages are spoken on the island, which also harbors 14,000 plant species, of which 9000 endemic species are only known to exist on New Guinea. Due to climate change many of these plant species and their associated customs run the risk of disappearing.
Because a fair number of the cultures on New Guinea is dependent on natural resources for their survival, a change in the range where plans live or their extinction also threatens the unique words New Guinean cultures have for these plants. A large number of the endangered species of plant are used as medicine, food, building materials, or play a part in rituals. If these plants were to go extinct, these uses and the languages associated with them would vanish too.
Smaller ranges
To assess the risks climate changes poses, the researchers modelled changes using information from databases such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. This database contains information of the ranges of a large number of indigenous plants. This data, combined with current and future climate data, allowed the researchers to predict the changes 720 plant species will undergo in the coming years in 1030 languages areas .
The research shows that 63% of the indigenous plant species will have a smaller range by 2070. On avarage, language areas will have 16 to 25 less plant species than they do now, with some areas losing as many as 94 species. According to the scientists, these numbers show that the indigenous cultures of New Guinea that are dependent on these plants are likely to disappear .
The central highlands of New Guinea are especially at risk. The ranges in this area are already smaller than elsewhere, due to the terrain. On top of that climate change is making plants from lower lying area move upwards, displacing the plants in higher areas who can't move any higher.
Inexorably linked
Niels Raes, who was one of the Naturalis scientists who took part in the research, takes the threat climate change poses very seriously. Raes: "Climate change results in the moving or disappearing ranges of plant species. Biodiversity loss and climate changes are inexorably linked. This loss of biodiversity is felt by the Papua communities of New Guinea, who use these plants for food and medicine. Not only are the plants at risk, but so are the names used in more than 1030 local languages."
The Indonesian and Papua New Guinean governments have both pledged to support biodiversity, but the researchers emphasize the need to protect plants with local biocultural links. Protecting these plants not only helps protect unique cultures, but strong local communities also prevent large scale logging in the jungle. The scientists stress that conservationists have to work together with local populations to get the best results and strengthen the position of indigenous cultures.
