Research Illuminates Historical Threats for Grizzlies in the GYE
The 23 years covert experience in federal wildlife law enforcement always reminds me to look deep behind the curtain of puppet master politics that often manipulate the strands of negative decisions that hamper long term protection of key wildlife species in our country and around the globe. Recent research has further illuminated past and present political threats of oil, gas, with alliances from SCI and the NRA that appear to be a multi-prong threat. This detailed 2014 report describes these alliances and how they can work to compromise key biological and wildlife resources:
https://cdn.americanprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IndustryInfluenceReport.pdf
Foreign mining interests are looming over the GYE. Google "mining opportunities in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem" and a host of articles appear. Gold mining interests have friends in "high places". When states are left to take the lead in managing these interests, the "golden rule" will often apply. "He who hath the gold rules", and ecosystems and wildlife will suffer by political meddling. Déjà vu all over again reminds me of my experience in the 1980's in Nevada with foreign precious metal corporations and migratory bird deaths from cyanide heap leach operations.
Trophy hunting Grizzlies in the GYE could be the coup de gras with oil, gas and mining interests contributing to the "big picture" of multiple ongoing serious threats.
Recent court decision reveals flaws with delisting GYE Grizzly
The recent court decision based on a lawsuit by the Humane Society of the United States revealed serious flaws behind the Grizzly delisting in the GYE:
https://www.courthousenews.com/wolf-ruling-has-agency-wrestling-with-grizzlies/
I strongly believe the HSUS decision that affects the GYE grizzly bear final rule should require the Service to re-evaluate the delisting of the GYE grizzly bear population and examine this species as a whole across the remaining U.S. grizzly bear ecosystems. This court decision shows USFWS is acting in haste to separate listed species into distinct populations and delisting them. The GYE Grizzly delisting exposes the blatant hypocrisy of this bizarre and reckless strategy that goes against the long term protection of all grizzly bear populations. More

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SCI the NRA and other alliances
These are very strong alliances that have had considerable historical and present influence over Congress regarding their unified agendas. Other lesser known organizations that support hunting and trophy hunting with SCI and the NRA are the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Wild Sheep Foundation.
These groups are completely unified in their focus and cause. Other opposition animal and wildlife conservation organizations could be more formidable and much more influential if they worked more closely together as a coalition if they followed the template that works for SCI, the NRA and other related entities.
It is an example of the "United we stand, divided we fall" philosophy that makes them so successful in their endeavors whether you support or don't support these agendas.
Conservation NGOs should focus on coalition concept on key wildlife issues
It is often mentioned in articles over the years that SCI and the NRA are a very small special interest group and how can they be so successful in pushing through their unified agenda in support of trophy hunting across the globe. It appears they often advance ahead of those conservation groups that collectively have greater numbers.
Opposing conservation organizations could really learn from that concept to pursue long term protections for animals and wildlife across the globe. Some are working together on certain wildlife issues, but more need to unify collectively to make a difference if imperiled wildlife resources are going to have future protection, particularly in the legal arena.

"The proposal is a monumental waste of money due to Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah) who has helped push five (5) bills from the Natural Resources Committee that would conceivably dismantle the Endangered Species Act over a period of time. The ESA plays a major part of wildlife conservation. It would make more sense to form a council to fight these destructive proposals that would destroy the ESA or have the Secretary of Interior request Rep. Rob Bishop to resign. If Rep. Rob Bishop has his way to "invalidate" the ESA, imagine trying to protect wildlife and regulate hunting. Dismantling the ESA in any form or fashion is destroying large fragile ecosystems at the expense of wildlife resources for future generations."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On November 8, 2017, Secretary Ryan Zinke announced the creation of the International Wildlife Conservation Council. The devil is in the details and what will follow in days, weeks and months to come will shape this Council and their priorities. Since the Council involves aspects of conservation, hunting and law enforcement, I wonder if Council heads will be selected from recognized leading experts in those three areas of focus. I am particularly concerned how the Council will deal with the ESA's foreign listed species and import permits that are mentioned in this press release: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-zinke-announces-creation-international-wildlife-conservation-council
I believe the creation of this Council comes at a very bad time given the recent news of Zimbabwe's regime shakeup and the most recent proposal for the U.S. to lift the ban on elephant trophy imports from Zambia and Zimbabwe. I hope now that President Trump has moved to keep the ban in place, that he and Secretary Zinke will consider keeping the ban given the current developing instability of Zimbabwe over the past several days: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-puts-decision-allow-elephant-hunting-trophy-imports-hold-022152590.html

Counterpunch:
by Sam Jojola
Reintroduction alternative to delisting
Reintroduction of the grizzly into other ecosystems is the best option to expand the gene pool of the limited population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) and keep the current protection intact. In March, 2000, USFWS plans were underway to implement a reintroduction to several ecosystems, including the Selway-Bitterroot area. Specifics of the reintroduction of the grizzly from the GYE and other ecosystems are detailed in this wonderful plan 16 years ago.
USFWS plans to initially reintroduce the grizzly into this area in 1996 and 2000 were dismissed in 2001 when George W. Bush took office and the plan was never implemented.
In December, 2014, The Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition requesting USFWS again pursue reintroduction of the grizzly into the Selway-Bitterroot in Idaho and Montana with over 16 million acres of viable bear habitat to support up to 300 bears. Still nothing transpired. Wildlife bureaucrats would have a better argument for delisting if they took the initiative 16 years ago. Misguided priorities and biopolitics impeded this great plan.
Conflicts in the 1980s
In the mid to late 1980s I worked a few federal wildlife investigations with grizzly bear conflicts in Idaho with fellow USFWS Special Agents.
Back then there were a number of USFWS law enforcement investigations from colleagues in Idaho involving grizzly conflicts with the sheep industry in Idaho and Montana. There were reports of illicit shootings and occasional poisonings with a highly toxic carbamate insecticide known as Aldicarb or Temik illegally used to lace sheep carcasses and kill predators.
One covert investigation involved foreign sheep herders in Idaho where a colleague and I tried to document their knowledge of who told them to lace a sheep carcass with a toxic poison left for a predator like a coyote or grizzly to ingest. We were investigating a bald eagle that fed on the laced sheep carcass and died. Forensics proved poisoning as the cause of death.
How evil was that.
Another incident in Idaho involved a foreign sheepherder accused of killing a grizzly at night. The sheepherder never confessed or turned in the sheep rancher who was suspect in the crime.

Struggling Boys, Broken Men
by Debbie Hooper Cosier | 11 July 2019 |
The California sun is low in the sky, bathing the face of the 22-year-old in golden light as he records a message from the driver's seat of his car. "Hi. Elliot Rodger here. Tomorrow is the Day of Retribution—the day I will have my revenge against humanity, against all of you."
From time to time, he pauses to stroke his chin with a forefinger, grin through gritted teeth and chuckle a low "heh-heh-heh-heh" sound. It's disturbing yet also slightly silly. A scene you might write for a B-grade movie: "Villain Contemplates Evil Plan."
He begins his rampage on 23 May 2014, by stabbing to death his two male flatmates and another boy who drops by to visit. From his car, he uploads his video to YouTube then drives towards the University of California Santa Barbara, gunning down students going about their Friday activities and ramming his vehicle into pedestrians. Three more students are killed and 14 injured. During the ensuing police chase he receives a non-fatal gunshot wound, crashes his car and turns the gun on himself.
According to his vlog, this was punishment for those he held responsible for his mental torture. A conspiracy existed to deprive him of sex, he believed, between attractive girls and the types of boys they dated.
The Incel Movement
In the five years since the attack, online forums have formed around similar tales of woe. Incels (short for "involuntary celibates"), which started in an online self-help group, are now men and boys who have turned their self-hatred onto women who, they believe, are only capable of making stupid, shallow choices for sexual or romantic partnerships. Many incels believe that women should be forced into monogamous relationships with men who are selected for them.
The sinister edge of incel ideology was played out again last year in a copycat attack in Toronto. A 25-year-old man plowed his van into crowds of people after posting a message on Facebook hailing Elliot Rodger as his hero. Following the attack there was a call from other incels to rise up, rape and attack women. Within the year, a 40-year-old man carried out another misogyny-fueled attack in a Florida yoga studio. Investigators found a history of online rants and sexual assaults targeting women.
Looking from the outside it's easy see how irrational incel dogma is. But what significance should we give it? Washington Post opinion columnist Christine Emba wrote in June this year: "… we should still be paying attention to what this level of desperation is telling us—incels are the bleeding edge of a generation of struggling men."
Emba may be right. Statistics reveal unprecedented rates of male loneliness, anxiety and depression, male suicide and male-to-male assault. We also see the frequent stalling of young male adulthood when it comes to education, careers and relationships.
How has this come about?
As a Mum and Teacher
When I first became a mum in 1996, I thanked God for giving me a son, and fourteen months later, a second one. Yet growing up as one of three sisters and being a young high school English teacher who saw adolescent boys as a bit of an enigma, I realized I needed to put some work into this boy space.
I saw that once boys reached adolescence, they struggled to be open and vulnerable because of powerful social norms. They operated in a limited range of modes: sullen, funny or angry. I saw some variation on the theme, but also a certain uniformity, whether I encountered boys in public or Christian schools. I also found that a boy's public face is very different from his private one, and if you create safe spaces and demonstrate that you are genuinely interested in what he has to say, then he will let you behind the mask.
A certain type of boy really troubled me. He was disconnected from others. It was like a thick black cloud had settled around his head. I would sometimes find the last few pages of English exercise books filled with drawings of monsters, blood dripping from fangs, knives held aloft in hairy fists, and dialogue bubbles filled with words like "I'LL KILL YOU." This was the 90s—about ten years before Elliot Rodger went from troubled child to lonely teen to killer, before western societies like the United States started experiencing a massive uptick in school shootings by rage-fueled young men.
I observed boys becoming even more disengaged at school in the mid to late 2000s. Video gaming had been around for some time but it no longer required a controller attached to a device in the living room at home. We were seeing mobile devices in the playground. Pew Research from 2008 reveals that 99% of pubescent boys and 94% of girls at the same age were playing video games. By their late teens, the number of girls playing video games dropped to 35%, whereas 65% of boys continued playing. Boys also played more frequently, for longer periods, and a broader variety of games. The sheer amount of time this was taking away from other activities was having real, observable effects at home and school.
Enter Computers
This was exacerbated by what educators were doing in schools. Preoccupied with computers, we took our attention off what was going on in the hearts and minds of children and exchanged the kinds of professional development that would make us better teachers and supporters of their academic, social and emotional development with computer literacy workshops. This was in readiness for the one-to-one laptop programs of the 2010s in which households would reverberate internationally with the outraged cry: "You can't take my laptop away—it has my schoolwork on it!" Welcome, the furtive gaming that goes on behind laptop lids. Parents and teachers at this time were still learning how to attach documents to email and coming to grips with Facebook. We had no hope of knowing that kids were simply switching screens to hide what they were doing/watching/experiencing whenever we approached.
While all of this was going on, social media had completely changed the social landscape for teens. With a new portal into worlds and influences previously unknown, parents were struggling to know what to do with the endless stream of new content infiltrating their children's lives. Teens want so much to be liked, but social media platforms mostly exacerbated alienation, especially for boys and girls who failed to conform to the rigid human templates demanded by their peer groups. And even those boys and girls fortunate enough to experience the addictive hits of love that came from followers knew deep down that it was their carefully curated image, not the real them, that was really liked. Online platforms were also spaces where sexual assault and bullying occurred in 24/7 cycles—and children covered it up for fear that someone would take away their access to those worlds.
Encouraged Girls, Withdrawn Boys
Through all of this, we educators did our best to encourage girls, breaking down the barriers that existed for them in the fields of science, technology and mathematics. We spent more time listening to them, focusing on their self-esteem and how they could develop healthy relationships, helping them grow stronger and more resourceful. All of this was important work. Over the decades, there were also a few lone voices warning us that our boys were now in trouble, too. We developed programs for them, also, but they were a little less robust and didn't yield the same results. Often styled as "boot camps," they tended to reinforce stoicism, which only obstructed emotional and psychological growth and awareness.
As a result of these powerful socio-cultural forces, many of our boys simply withdrew. A large portion turned away from real life and sank the best of themselves into games, especially online games and forums, where they didn't feel as inferior and found a level of community.
As a mum of boys and former teacher, this is clear: our boys (and girls!) just want to be known, accepted and valued for who they are. This is just like you and me, right? However, they have grown up in a different world. It's a world in which isolation and ideology can be an earth-shattering mix. The kind that can lead to individuals, families and communities being torn apart by the explosive actions of individuals fueled by the dogma of marginalized groups.
More likely it will end up in one of the more subtle shades of heartache and loss we see in evidence around us.
The Christian Response
Christians are not immune to the changing dynamics of society. Young Christian men are struggling, at the same time that young Christian women are rising up for greater challenge.
But how should Christians respond to changing gender politics? What should traditional churches, those that have advocated for hierarchical gender roles and relationships in the church and home, do now? Should they tell boys and young men to toughen up and girls and young women to calm down? Or is it time to find a new way?
Maybe we could put aside the usual complaints and lectures we reserve for "those Millennials and Gen Y-ers" and make connections with them, get to know them better, show them we value them by listening more, reserving our judgement, advocating for them, lifting them up when they stumble occasionally on their journey to becoming better, more confident friends, partners, leaders, people, followers of Jesus.
The gospels show us how powerful it is when we meet people's needs at the exact moment and place in which we find them. Jesus nurtured, healed and empowered all people, including the most marginalized. Bring the little children to me, he said. If a Samaritan is robbed and beaten, you will collect him in your arms and tend to his wounds, just as you would the Jew. Each man/woman/child deserves to live/walk/see/be free from sickness and psychological distress. She too is my disciple, even though tradition has taught for centuries that women cannot study under a rabbi. I will talk about theology with the woman at the well and she will do my work among her people. Bring that little boy with his loaves and fishes to me, for his faith and generosity will feed 5,000 people this day. You will not condemn the woman caught in adultery, for her sins are no greater than yours. "Doubting Thomas" though they may henceforth call you, put your hands in my wounds and let me change your life.
Jesus taught a powerful and radical form of Christianity that rejected the limits of tradition and stereotypes. His work meant that slaves and masters, husbands and wives, young and old could be called equal. His ministry resulted in a diaspora of empowered Christian men and women, who were confident and unafraid of meeting the needs of people on the streets, in the palace, in the jails and in the fields.
So as a teacher and a mum, I'm putting in a word on behalf of the boys. In our effort to enhance the dignity of all people, as Jesus did, let's not forget them.

Being well rounded is a well known platitude, pounded into our heads as we grow up, leaving us to put aside what we excel at in order to brush up on the things we don't. While it's certainly useful to be well rounded, when it comes to carving out your place in the professional world, being a jack of all trades and master of none can make finding success a bit more difficult.
We live in a society and era of perfection. We teach our writers how to solve quadratic equations and harp on our engineers about spelling mistakes and sentence structure. Our country is obsessed with having children who excel in every area of academia, testing every subject for retention and comprehension regardless of a student's interest, intent only upon discerning their understanding. When our students fall behind we hire them tutors to help them improve in the subjects where they're falling behind.
But what if we didn't put so much focus on the subjects they are weak in, and instead focused on improving upon the skills they had already mastered. What would happen if you tutored an excellent mathematician in how to be even better at math? Once students enter their major in college and exit into the working world, often their success is defined by their ability to be the best at something, rather than their ability to simply take on a variety of tasks. When we find we're good at something, we enjoy doing it, and when we enjoy doing it, we have more success. Isn't another common phrase, "If you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life?" How high can you go when you're doing what you love?
It's feasible that by focusing on being well rounded we're not setting our kids up for success. By nurturing and feeding a child's interests and successes, the chances of them getting a head start in a career also increase. Those students who have discovered their passion and have had it fed can be ahead of the game, allowing them to take more rigorous courses in the field they have focused on and setting them up for better positions earlier on, leading ultimately to greater success. Doing what comes naturally to you can even effect your life outside of work as well. It's easier to complete tasks you understand at work, allowing for greater productivity, and with those complete, your personal life and free time open up.
As always there's a flip side. While it's true that most of us do best when we are excelling at something we understand, there are a large number of individuals who thrive off overcoming challenges. Some people see doing what's easy to be unworthy of their time and instead strive towards tackling things they struggle with.
When looking for future jobs, take into consideration what you excel at, and take steps toward launching your abilities even further forward. Become the best at what you do and you'll find that not only will your enjoyment at work increase, the time you have to do the things you love outside of your professional life will go up as well.
Whether you are returning to the workforce, want to change careers, or need advice about your current job, a career management coach can assist you on this journey.

Cal U moving forward following PSAC opener against Bloomsburg
Vulcans sit in familiar spot following loss to Huskies
Matt Hagy, Sports Editor
The California University of Pennsylvania/Bloomsburg game last Saturday followed the same script that most of the meetings between those two teams do: a knock-out, drag out, somewhat low scoring contest featuring a heavy rushing attack by the Huskies and most importantly, the game coming down to the final minute of regulation as seen many times before with these two PSAC powers.
Unfortunately for the Vulcans, another similar script followed as once again Cal could not beat the Huskies for the fourth straight time. No matter what they do differently, there is always something that helps the Huskies come out with the win. Saturday's game can be best described as a tale of two halves. California dominated in every aspect of the game in the first half. They controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, which included sophomore running back John Franklin III getting his second touchdown of the season, which in turn would be the only Vulcans touchdown of the game.
Everything was going smoothly for Cal. The Vulcans were up 13-0 with just a little over two minutes to go until the half, and were dominating on defense. However, one play which did not make a huge impact at first seemingly turned the tide in this ballgame. Huskies junior running back Lawrence Elliot finally broke through the Vulcan defense and reeled off a 53 yard run which set up the Huskies first points of the day off a field goal. Going into the half, the Vulcans were still in a good spot up 10, but there was something eerie about this game. Not only that the Huskies were able to finally break through with their vaunted running game, but Cal U's senior quarterback James Harris already had thrown two interceptions in the first half and was missing his receivers badly at times. Junior wide receiver Garry Brown, who had played like a superstar the past few games dating back to last season, was also lost for the game after getting an ankle sprain in the second quarter.
That weird feeling turned into a reality in the second half as the Huskies pounded the Vulcans repeatedly with Elliot and back-up running back Joe Parsnik to regain control of the line of scrimmage. The Huskies tacked on another field goal to make it a one score game on the opening drive of the second half and in turn intercepted Harris once again on the Vulcans first drive, which set up the game-tying touchdown. The game was quickly turning into a nightmare for the Vulcans. A 13-0 lead was completely gone and the offense was faltering and could not move the ball at all, sending a tired defense out that was getting manhandled by the Huskies offensive line.
In the fourth quarter, the Huskies continued to hold the ball, dominating the time of possession. However, it seemed the Vulcans got a huge break when Huskies placekicker Tyler Smith missed a short 25 yard field goal and kept the game tied at 13. However, once again the Vulcans offense sputtered and set the Huskies up with short field. This time the Huskies cashed in on fourth and one, as Elliot took a toss to the right side and walked in to the end zone untouched from 24 yards out for the decisive score. Cal had one last chance to force overtime and made it as far as the Huskies 17 yard line, but Harris missed an open Luke Smorey in the end zone to end the game.
This loss as any other loss in past years against Bloomsburg hurt really bad, but there is no reason to panic. Last season, Cal started 1-1 and lost a tough game to the Huskies. They rebounded the next week with an offensive assault on the road against the Shippensburg Red Raiders. Luckily for the Vulcans, those same Red Raiders come to Adamson Stadium tomorrow. James Harris lit the Red Raider defense up to a tune of 439 yards and two touchdowns last season and despite the three interceptions a week ago, it was merely one bad game and getting Harris involved early and often will help erase memories from last week. The key man on Shippensburg's offense is senior receiver Sheldon Mayer. Mayer had a field day against the Vulcans defense last season catching 8 passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns. Shippensburg always features a high-powered offense but other than Mayer, there is much inexperience including at the quarterback spot with sophomore Ryan Zapoticky.
Points look to be at a plenty Saturday afternoon. Come game time at 1pm, the Vulcans will be hungry to get back into the win column and set themselves up for PSAC west play starting next week.

Q: Format Decimal String in C# using .ToString() I have an amount stored in a decimal result:
Eg. decimal result = 1935698.27;
How can I format that to a String using .ToString() so that it looks like this: R 1 935 698,27
It needs to do the following:

*

*Add R (take note of the space) to the front of the String

*Add spaces to group the value in 3's (i.e R 00 000 000 000,00)

*Replace the . with a ,
This formats according to the South African Rand currency format.
This is what I have:
decimal result = 1935698.27;
string strResult = result.ToString("What should I put here?"); // Need help

// Expected strResult = "R 1 935 698,27"

Any help is much appreciated!

A: This is built in - just use the South African culture and the currency format specifier.
var result = 1935698.27m;
var ci = new CultureInfo("en-ZA");
var strResult = result.ToString("C", ci);
// strResult is R 1 935 698,27

Apple and IBM's PowerPC Potential
Thursday June 30, 2005 11:02 am PDT by Arnold Kim
eWeek is reporting that IBM denies that Apple's PowerPC power-consumption concerns were valid:
[IBM] could build PowerPC chips that satisfy the needs of the entire range of Apple's product lines, including portables such as the PowerBook, said Rod Adkins, vice president of development for IBM's Systems and Technology Group, which produces IBM's PowerPC chips.
Actual delivery/availability to Apple, however, may have been limited due to IBM and Apple's current relationship and manufacturing capability. There is also some speculation amongst analysts that perhaps Jobs was given non-public information about Intel's roadmap which may have swayed his decision. Such thoughts remain purely speculative, however.
IBM will be providing future PowerPCs for upcoming PowerMacs, however, as Jobs had indicated.
"We still have a number of products we're [IBM] doing with them [Apple]," Adkins, who declined to elaborate on the exact ones
The PowerPC 970MP has been widely discussed as a potential processor to be used in upcoming PowerMacs.

What Kind of Summer Camp Does Your Child Need?
"I hate it. It's boring. Can I just stay home?"
It's an answer no parent wants to hear. We get it: Finding something for your kids to do all day, all summer, can be a pain. But before you default to the easiest option – the same camp you attended when you were their age; it was fun at the time, right? – there are some questions you ought to ask yourself. Or, better yet, ask your child.
Every child is their own person, but they have one important thing in common: There's nothing they appreciate more than knowing that they and their parents are on the same page. One of the best ways to prove this to your children is to give them a camp experience that's just right for them: their goals, their hobbies, their personalities. For example, how should a child who loves computers, gaming, and video spend their summer? Learn to code at a Codecraft camp, of course!
If your nearby Coderaft Camp is full, there is not one nearby, or you need the convenience of schedule do not miss the opportunity to sign up for our live, instructor lead, online course.
Is it fun? Remember, every child has a different idea of fun. A shy child probably isn't too keen on going to a performing arts camp, and an extrovert might not be too into spending all afternoon at the craft table. You see how your child spends their spare time; you know what they're excited to share with you about school. Look into what's available in your area and give them a list of camps you think they'll enjoy wholeheartedly. Show them that you've thought about what works for them, not just for your household schedule.
Is it useful now? Of course, you have a say in this, too. However your child wants to spend the summer, your job is to make sure they keep their minds sharp and their bodies active. Codecraft camps offer the perfect mix, with outdoor activities every day. Avoid the dreaded "summer slide" by choosing a camp that provides both intellectual and physical stimulation for your child.
Will it be useful later? One of the biggest advantages of Codecraft camps are the possibilities they open up for children. With camps and courses for students 8 and above, there's a multitude of ways for kids to build on their skills in coding, web development, game development, and cybersecurity. Our campers are inspired to turn their passion for computer technologies into a profession by meeting industry experts and learning about college and career options in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This sparks ambitions that will stay with them for years to come and help them develop long-term plans sooner than you may ever have expected. When you choose a camp, think about how it will help your child beyond this summer. You may both be surprised at the opportunities they discover.
Is it practical? No matter how you answer the first three questions, there are some obvious concerns to clear up: Does the camp fit in with your budget? How will your child get to and from camp every day? What will they be required to bring with them? Make all of these matters a part of the conversation with your child, so they can see firsthand how grown-ups make important choices. This, too, is a learning experience they shouldn't miss.
If you haven't already talked to your child about their summer plans, now is the time. And don't make any plans for them all by yourself. They'll appreciate you making sure that they won't have to complain about being bored.

It's not everyday that you get to shoot with such a genuinely lovely team that you wind up feeling like you've known each other for years, laughing, joking and dancing around on set – so carefree and loving it! Therefore it wasn't a surprise that when the images from the Free Soul Sista's campaign dropped that the spirit of that day was captured so organically.
So what is FREE SOUL SISTA'S anyway?
Free Soul Sista's is a vegan protein supplement company, founded by CEO Arjun Sofat, which has specifically and uniquely formulated their products for women.
Free Soul Sistas have worked closely with clinical nutritionists to bring the best blend of ingredients to enhance strength, energy and balance within the female body. Moreover all of their products are Gluten, Soy, and GMO free.
So put simply, Free Soul Sista's are powerful protein packets full of nothing but tasty goodness to help us women feel even more like the superheroes we are.
I was surrounded the most amazing women on the shoot day, most of whom I'd met for the first time! And one of the best attributes to the shoot was that the brand decided to cast a diverse range of models, which to me illustrated that inclusivity is a motif that this brand thrives off of.
We shot in the now infamous shocking pink Franks Café in Peckham from Midday until sunset around 8pm – managing to cast a gloriously dreamy pink hue over us as we wrapped. It seemed like Mother Nature was on our side that day, no rain, no blistering wind just sun, smiles and an immense amount pink overload!

Le petate (du mot nahuatl ) est un type de tapis, tapis ou natte tissé utilisé au Mexique et dans certains pays d'Amérique centrale, fabriqué à partir de fibres de la plante appelée palmier de petate (Thrinax morrissi), et que l'Académie royale espagnole définit comme un tapis.

Généralement ils sont tissés en forme quadrangulaire et peuvent être élaborés en différentes tailles, mais ils n'observent pas nécessairement une mesure exacte.

Usages
Le  est principalement utilisé pour dormir. Il est posé sur le sol pour la nuit et, généralement, pendant la journée, il est enroulé et rangé ou accroché à un mur pour profiter de l'espace de la pièce. Dans certains endroits très chauds, il est utilisé pour dormir à l'air libre.

On l'utilise aussi pour sécher au soleil divers objets que l'on ne veut pas poser directement sur le sol : des graines, des semences et même tortillas de maïs. Dans plusieurs endroits au Mexique, il est courant de sécher les graines de citrouille sur les , puis de les rôtir et de les manger.

Le petate fait partie d'un ensemble d'articles en fibres de palmier. D'autres articles sont fabriqués artisanalement avec ce matériau (connu généralement sous le nom d'artisanat de ) comme: l'artisanat des jouets, des poupées, des masques, des chapeaux et des paniers.

Élaboration
Il faut beaucoup de travail pour fabriquer un . On commence par couper les feuilles de palmier ou les roseaux, puis in faut laisser sécher ces feuilles au soleil, dans un endroit plat. Ensuite, les plus appropriés sont choisis pour le tissage. Certains sont colorés avec des colorants végétaux ou avec des pigments obtenus à partir d'animaux comme le cochenille pour la couleur rouge.

Actuellement, en raison de l'émigration et du manque de travail, seulement 30% du total des personnes qui ont travaillé dans ce métier, continuent à le faire.

Expressions
En raison de ses caractéristiques et de ses différentes utilisations, le sac à dos a été utilisé comme illustration de différentes situations. Les phrases familières suivantes n'en sont que quelques exemples :

 «  » - Reconnu par la RAE, le verbe  (ou ) est utilisé comme synonyme de mort, parce que le petate est aussi utilisé pour voiler et enterrer les morts depuis les temps préhispaniques. Encore aujourd'hui, il est utilisé dans les endroits de pauvreté extrême où il n'est pas possible d'acquérir un cercueil.
 «  » (feu de petate) - Signifie qu'une émotion ou un événement semble très intense, mais en réalité est de très courte durée et, généralement, de peu de portée et d'importance. Par exemple : « L'amour entre eux était une pure flamme de petate ». La raison en est que le tapis brûle rapidement et que sa flamme dure très peu.
  (ça sent le petate brûlé) - Désigne une personne qui fume de la marijuana à proximité et dont l'arôme est perceptible.
  (les femmes pour le metate et le petate) - Un dicton macho qui discrimine les femmes, toujours utilisé au Mexique. Cela signifie que la femme idéale de beaucoup d'hommes doit être une bonne cuisinière et partenaire sexuelle et s'y limiter.
  (Si elle était pour le petate comme pour le metate) - Ce dicton sexiste discrimine les femmes, c'est-à-dire quand elles ne sont pas bonnes dans d'autres domaines (cuisine, tâches domestiques et professionnelles, etc.) mais en revanche, dans le sexe, oui.
  (ce type de poux ne saute pas dans mon petate) - Un dicton discriminatoire utilisé lorsqu'une personne refuse d'établir une relation amicale, professionnelle ou sentimentale avec une personne qu'elle considère de rang social, économique, moral ou racial inférieur. Il est surtout utilisé par les femmes attirantes ou belles envers les hommes peu attirants et sans le sou, bien que sentimentalement il est appliqué par les deux sexes.
  (lier ou enrouler le petate) - Ça veut dire quitter ou changer de logement. Il s'agit de ramasser et d'enrouler le petate une fois que la personne se lève. Il est à noter que de nombreux indigènes utilisent le petate comme lit de voyage pour sa facilité et son aspect pratique, d'où l'analogie.
  (qu'on ne t'effraie pas avec le petate du mort) - En gros, cela signifie que vous ne devriez pas être trompé par des choses, des paroles ou des situations sans fondement.

The colors you choose for the 3M vinyl wrap that is to represent your business will matter greatly, because they will communicate a feeling that will be associated with your brand.
Coca-cola has recently advertised that their soda is not a product but is an experience. And they are right. You're selling a service or an items, but most importantly, you want your customers to feel a certain way when they think of you. Color choice will help you accomplish that.
Your colors will help you establish consistency. It is vital that your logo and other materials represent the same messaging as your car or truck wrap. This will help customers identify your company at first glance, giving you the best chance for success.
You should experiment with different color choices to make sure your message can clearly be read from a distance. Your want your colors to stand out when printed on a vinyl wrap, so it draws the attention of drivers and passersby, and you do not want contrasting colors to obscure the writing or the images. Font choice and sizing will also play a role, and you'll want to use bold colors. Avoid using two light colors or two dark colors together, and find color combinations that will create a pop, ensuring your advertising will more successfully drive business.


The phrase, "Unity is Strength", is more than just a proverb. It has been proven since the beginning of mankind. When divided, individuals have failed in achieving what they had aspired. But together, they have been able to conquer a lot more. Take a look at your local history. You will surely notice how groups of people have stood for a certain cause, and because of their strength, their fight has had a powerful effect.
Unity is an important factor even within a family and social group. Family members, who stick together and support each other, tend to have lasting bonds. This enables them to solve each other's problems in a valuable manner. If there is no unity in friendship, cracks begin to form in the foundation and could potentially lead to misunderstandings. French leader, Napoleon Bonaparte, believed that "There are only two forces that unite men – fear and interest." However, the term interest, here, is roughly used. People can be united because of their need for a sense of belonging, which has nothing to do with common interests. They could also be united because of a shared history or past, as is the case with citizens of a nation. A lot of social groups have been able to get desired results because they stand united. Their attempts are directed towards a single goal, which increases the chances of success.
Factors like trust, encouragement, understanding and love help maintain unity among people. As long as good thoughts motivate people, they will stand united and be stronger for it. The moment there is a weak link in the group, everything collapses. Remember to stand tall against all hardships.


Have a look inside, is there anything left to give?
So darling won't you listen to the words I say?
Who knows how she feels?
Is her love for you real?
Is this what hearts are for?
If we started living this way?


This post is brought to you in collaboration with Eckrich Deli Meat. All opinions are my own.
Whether you are feeding the family or a large party crowd, these Poppy Seed Ham and Cheese Sliders are the perfect recipe – everyone loves them!
Who loves quick & easy recipes? I would be lost without them! We like to make these Poppy Seed Ham and Cheese Sliders as a versatile on-the-go breakfast recipe or sometimes as a game day snack that our whole family loves.
I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for ways I can put a delicious homemade meal on the table quickly.
Less time in the kitchen & more time with my family is always my priority.
To make sure I have everything I need, I like to stop at Walmart pick up all my ingredients, including Eckrich Deli Meats, which are now available at the Walmart deli counter!
These sliders are so simple to make. When preparing them for the kids to have for breakfast, I like to make a full batch & then individually wrap them after they have cooled.
This makes it easy for the kids to grab them on the go as they need them.
This recipe makes 12 sliders, so that gives me almost a whole week of breakfasts for them!
Why choose Eckrich deli meat?
Any way you slice it, Eckrich deli meat is my top choice at the deli counter.
Not only is it convenient because I can grab it while I'm at Walmart during my weekly shopping trip, but Eckrich is always gluten-free, full of flavor & made with unmatched quality.
The Eckrich Ham Off the Bone gets its premium flavor from its own natural juices, getting all the delicious flavor of bone-in meat.
Can ham and cheese sliders be made ahead of time?
Absolutely. Like I mentioned, we like to bake them all at once & then portion them out. You can enjoy them cold the next day or just give them a few seconds in the microwave to reheat them if you are short on time. So simple & still just as delicious the next day.
HOW DO YOU MAKE HAM AND CHEESE SLIDERS?
Lightly coat a 9×13 inch dish with cooking spray.
Cut the slider buns in half like a sandwich.
Place the bottom layer into the prepared dish.
Add half of the cheese.
Follow with a layer of ham, then the remaining cheese.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
Whisk in brown sugar, dijon, poppy seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire, salt & pepper.
Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Pour any remaining mixture to coat thoroughly.
Remove the foil & continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
These are the most delicious sliders you'll ever make! They certainly save us so much time & are so convenient.
Whether you are feeing the family or a large party crowd, these Poppy Seed Ham and Cheese Sliders are the perfect recipe- everyone loves them!
Cut the slider buns in half like a sandwich (all together, do not break into individual sliders yet).
Add half of the cheese on top.

These ham and cheese sliders look marvelous. I could really use one right now. Thank you for sharing at Wonderful Wednesday.
We love these classic sliders with the poppy seed, ham and cheese! Thanks so much for sharing your post with us at Full Plate Thursday and hope you have a great week!
These sliders look fantastic!! They don't look too tough to make and they will feed quite a few hungry folks!!
Thanks for the great recipe! I can't wait to try them!!
Would you be able to transport these in a crock pot to keep warm? Also do you think I could substitute poppy seeds with chia??
I don't advise using a slow cooker to transport. I highly recommend using something like this Wonderbag https://amzn.to/2Dromxa that can keep the food hot for up to 12 hours. I also don't think chia seeds are a good choice because not only will they bring a completely different flavor- they swell when moist, which won't be great on a sandwich.


My one year old loves balls, so when I saw this tutorial on Happy Together's blog for a pom pom skirt I gave it a try. Thinking that my daughter would want some sensory time, I added a minky pocket to my skirt with some balls sewn onto colorful grosgrain.
OMG, this is one mad toddler! "Stuck! Stuck!" She is royally annoyed that all the little balls are stuck inside the tulle.
She's napping, so I sewed this beauty to make it up to her. I'm not a big fan of pink, but what little girl doesn't covet something flashy like this?
OH my....this is the funniest thing I've seen all day! That picture is priceless.
i love the bird print skirt...it's so vibrant!
That's so sad that she got all mad like that. Sounds like my little on. On the bright side, i'm sure she'll love her new skirt!
I LOVE that pom pom skirt... looks so cool! I can imagine that it would be a bit frustration from her perspective.
the pompom skirt... I love it!

Dental implants are your absolute best option for replacing missing teeth. A tooth implant acts as a permanent new root for a missing tooth. It is a titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone. An abutment and tooth crown restoration are then placed on top of the implant to provide a permanent new tooth that looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
Most people prefer dental implants to dentures, which are removable full or partial sets of teeth that must be removed and cared for in a special manner. Dentures can often feel bulky and are difficult to get used to. Dental implants, on the other hand, are permanent replacements for missing teeth that you care for just like natural teeth.
With dental implants, you can eat the foods you want without any fear of embarrassment, and the procedure enjoys a very high rate of success. When cared for properly, dental implants should last a lifetime. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential to the long-term success of your implants.
Some dentists perform complete implants and some focus on the implant crown or restoration only. An implantologist, periodontist, oral surgeon, cosmetic dentist or prosthodontist can perform an implant procedure. Implant restorations are dental crowns that sit atop dental implants, match your other teeth in size, shape and color and complete your new smile.
Discover a "dentist near me" for tooth implant restorations at Crescent City Smiles. Call 504-282-5062 or use our convenient Request an Appointment form. Patients come to us for implant restorations from New Orleans (NOLA), Jefferson, Metairie, Kenner, Gentilly, Lakeview, Eastern New Orleans, Pontchartrain, Lake Terrace Park and close-by communities.

Thunderbirds Claim Homecoming Victory In Front Of Record-Breaking Crowd
October 7, 2017 October 8, 2017 - by University Journal Staff
The Thunderbird football team won their first Big Sky Conference game of the season on Saturday, knocking off the Mustangs of Cal Poly 20-14 in front of 10,633 fans at Eccles Coliseum.
"I'm proud of the guys, they fought all game," SUU head coach Demario Warren said. "Cal Poly's a tough team, we knew they were going to be a tough out, they don't give up, they're going to stay in the game and make you win the game."
Southern Utah has moved to 3-2 on the season, with a 1-1 mark in the Big Sky Conference moving forward into the conference campaign.
The Thunderbirds struck first, as freshman kicker Manny Berz knocked home a 26-yard field goal attempt to put the T-Birds up 3-0. The Mustangs quickly responded, as Kyle Lewis ran 73 yards for a touchdown to put the Mustangs up 7-3.
On SUU's next drive, the Thunderbirds would get on the board again as Janiero Green Jr. ran the ball in from 55 yards out to take a 10-7 advantage.
There was only one more score in the opening half, and it belonged to Terrance Beasley as he caught a ball from Patrick Tyler 26 yards out to put the Thunderbirds up 17-7 heading into halftime.
"It's not really explainable, it's just a rush," Beasley said about his first career touchdown catch as a Thunderbird.
Following a scoreless third quarter of action, things got close down the stretch.
With 7:41 to play the T-Birds hit another field goal, this time from 36 yards away, and Berz put the T-Birds up 20-7.
The Mustangs scored with 4:46 left, cutting the Thunderbird lead to 20-14. Cal Poly had a couple more opportunities down the stretch, but the Thunderbird defense was able to hold them and claim the victory 20-14.
Tyler threw for 223 yards and one touchdown on 23 completions. Green Jr. carried the ball 77 yards for one touchdown. Bryan Beckon caught four passes for 64 yards.
Chinedu Ahanonu finished the night with 15 tackles to lead the way for the Thunderbirds. He also had 1.5 tackles for loss. Chance Bearnson had nine tackles on the night and Mike Needham had eight.
"It was fun being out there, flying around and making plays," Ahanonu said.
The Thunderbirds had 382 yards of total offense on Saturday.
The Thunderbirds will be back on the road next weekend, as they'll travel North up I-15 to take on the Wildcats of Weber State. That game is scheduled to kick off at 6:00 p.m.

ADL Welcomes UNESCO Director's Condemnation…
ADL Welcomes UNESCO Director's Condemnation of Attempts to Deny Jewish Connection to Jerusalem
New York, NY, July 15, 2016 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) welcomed today's statement by UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova, who condemned attempts to deny the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
At UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, currently meeting in Istanbul, a draft resolution on the Old City of Jerusalem is being negotiated. A similar resolution in April by UNESCO's Executive Board condemned Israel for alleged "Jewish fake graves" on the Temple Mount, called the Temple Mount/Holy Sanctuary solely by its Muslim name, and referred to the Western Wall Plaza in quotation marks, after using its Muslim name.
"We welcome Director-General Bokova's unequivocal statement against politicized actions of member states of the World Heritage Committee to deny the Jewish connection to Jerusalem," said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO. "We hope her warning will be heeded by responsible governments, whose representatives sit on the committee, and that they will prevent any resolutions that will distress Jews around the world and mar UNESCO's reputation."
In April, France and Brazil expressed regret for their votes. ADL expressed hope that the other nations will not make that mistake again.
On July, 11 the League wrote to Director-General Bokova to urge her to use "the moral voice of your office to protect the integrity of Jerusalem as a holy city to the three monotheistic religions."
ADL is the world's leading anti-hate organization. Founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of anti-Semitism and bigotry, its timeless mission is to protect the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment for all. Today, ADL continues to fight all forms of hate with the same vigor and passion. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education, and fighting hate online, ADL is the first call when acts of anti-Semitism occur. ADL's ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate.

'Don't let go': President marches with family of murdered blogger
I very much doubt she was mentally ill and managed to board a plane to Maldives. Something else going on here. She probably experienced the total lack of use by medical staff of rubber gloves when examining patients and especially when taking blood. Patients should not have to ask staff to wash their hands as the signs display. It probably freaked her out. It did me. I was unfortunate to have tests at the hospital due to being severely dehydrated on arrival at Male. I have seen it with my own eyes the total lack of basic hygiene of medical staff when interacting with patients. Floors, walls and toilets disgusting. No wonder she ran and was screaming for help.

The destruction of the environment in the Madives, particularly the mangrove forests is a prime example of human stupidity and lack of foresight. To destroy the natural safeguards to flooding and erosion for short term political or financial gains for a very few people highlights what is going wrong with the planet as a whole. Until the death penalty, or life imprisonment, or seizure of assets, or a combination of these is brought to bear on individuals who cynically profit from environmental destruction to the detriment of all, then such travesties will be repeated all over the world.

Mr Mohamed Nasheed, MP, can be the Speaker of Parliament, Leader of the House, Leader of the ruling party the MDP, and finally even President of the Republic all at the same time. He is currently on the crest of a wave of public support on an unprecedentedly massive scale. Maldives has, as a country, a long and wellknown history of dictatorship and one-man rule. I saw with my own naked eyes the regimes of Ibrahim Nasir and his successor Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. More recenly, and not long ago, we had the grand show put on for us all by President Yameen Abdul Gayoom. He took all state powers into his own hands. Maldives also has a long history of family rule. Gayoom ruled with his family. These dictatorial traditions have not disappeared yet, and an established democracy cannot yet be taken for granted. Mohamed Nasheed must not become the next dictator of Maldives even though as a concensus candidate of the ruling party MDP MPs.

Maldives is making clear progress all round to bring freedom and democracy to the people of the country. One of the top priorities now is to empower women. Maldives has a small population and we need to harness the talents of women to supplement those of men. We also need to practise the best in Islam and avoid using Islam to attack and even kill people. I hope that all the aspirations of MDP will be smoothly understood and realised.
Michael Fahmy on International observers offer positive assessment of polls 10 Apr 19 20:03:24
I have been following Maldives politics with the help of Maldives Independent newswebsite and the BBC, from my location in distant Finland. Finland and India are also in election fever grip and exciting things are happening in those countries also, in addition to what is going on in Maldives. In Britain something a little bit different takes place currently. It is called Brexit, Brexit and yet again Brexit. But nothing matches the events taking place in the Maldives where my ancestors lived and where my close relatives and friends live to this day. My mother-tongue, Divehi, is spoken in the Maldives too, and only in the Maldives. My party of choice in the Maldives is doing very well and winning. But victory and political power also entails responsibility. Very many congratulations to the MDP. More later.

MP Nihan and the PPM have made it a habit to bribe judges and abuse power to rig elections. They have attempted this every single time in recent years. It's now time to bring Nihan and his cronies both senior and junior to justice. Qasim Ibrahim and his cronies need to be held accountable as well. He has betrayed the Government coalition and joined his former jailer to continue with his corrupt activities. It's time for our country to stand up and throw these criminals in jail. We call upon the Government to deliver justice with the votes we give them.

A 17 year old is a "child"? Someone having a relationship with such a person, whom he later marries, is a "child sex offender" and gets 10 years in jail? What a strange place. Wondering what the tourists - many of whom come from places where 14 and 15 year olds are considered in charge of their sexual conduct - think of this. And if they really want to spend their tourist dollars in such a place.

We were told everyone will be given the same treatment - send them home while they are investigated. The corruption starts and ends at the PO. That's why zero tolerance means zero action.
Fisherman's Friend on Army officers suspended over corruption scandal 22 Mar 19 17:56:36
In Countries where there are laws that enable apostates and blasphemers to be murdered , quite often when a case appears it would expose the country to a lot of global media exposure and international pressure . Therefore governments try to avoid such situations as much as possible except a few like Saudi where media is restricted. This is why most governments try not to or delay sentencing them to death through the Courts. Rather it will be quite attractive for them to avoid this negative exposure by killing them without a judicial process but murdering them through gangs and thugs. or perhaps there are extremists on the watch with a target list who take the matter into there hands since killing them through the judicial process and Government may not be easy .

Budhu is actually a Buddhist era word. Like locally Wednesday is called Budha Duvas, the celestial body, the meaning is associated primary with wisdom, and with intellect, language skills, education & Scholarship. It's belived 5he word was adopted by followers of Gautama, to mean the 2ise on or the enlightened one, as he was seen a person of the mind rather than superstition. As such the languages of the region as the word "Budhi" to mean intellect. Later the word took on a new meaning in the converted Budhist regions of Persian Afghanistan and north Indian, with the foreign Muslim rule. Later Dhivehins word meaning is derived as such from Urdu.

Moving towards decarbonization for climate change: Snam's pathway
SDGs Coverage
Year of Publication of the Experience: 2017
The United Nations have approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and everyone is called to contribute to the achievement of its goals. Snam has chosen, in particular, to commit itself to goal 13, Climate action, with a challenging target: to reduce its natural gas emissions in 2021 by 10% with respect to its 2016 emissions. Snam has decided to do this as a strategy, moving along the decarbonization pathway and playing a more operative role, and thus contributing to the reduction of climate-altering emissions.
In 2015 the United Nations approved the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, whose essential elements are the 17 SDGs set with a view to putting an end to poverty, combating inequality and achieving social and economic development. A discussion that companies followed with great interest: some of these goals match Snam's activities almost perfectly, in particular for what concerns climate action.
With regard to the latter point, the conclusion of the 22nd Conference of the Parties (COP 22) held in Marrakech in 2016, confirmed the optimism aroused by the entry into effect of the Paris Agreement less than one year after its adoption. The drive towards decarbonization is already influencing the methods of production and use of energy, speeding up the shift towards "carbon neutrality" that the Paris Agreement sets as a goal to be reached during the second half of this century. The pathway identified requires efforts to be made and sustained by all sectors of society and the economy to ensure a form of development oriented towards the protection of the environment, social equity and economic sustainability.
Snam has decided to contribute to this extremely important SDGs both from the strategic point of view, by moving along the decarbonization pathway and thus considering it as an opportunity, and from the operational point of view, by strengthening its operational excellence and thus contributing to the reduction of climate-altering emissions.
Natural gas, like non-programmable renewable sources, has all the characteristics necessary to guarantee an efficient and effective decarbonization pathway. This is because gas is a versatile product that can be used as an energy source for household uses, for generating electricity, for industrial applications and as a fuel for road and sea transport. A greater use of gas, in its various forms, would result in lower emissions of sulphurous anhydride, nitrogen oxide and particulate, with a decisive impact in the fight against air pollution in cities, and would contribute to decrease the use of oil and its derivatives. Gas is an accessible source due to the presence of considerable reserves near Europe and a development of the world liquefied natural gas market, which has increased its availability at low prices.
The gas infrastructure system is widespread and flexible in responding to fluctuations in demand and supply. With limited investments, it can support the technologies that produce and use energy with a low or zero carbon content (gas powered heat pumps, biomethane, micro-cogeneration, turbo-expansion and power-to-gas).
The Company's strategy is clear and strongly supported by its top management. But the fight against climate change is also tackled from the operational point of view through efficient and innovative management. In fact, Snam intends to develop projects for reducing emissions to fight climate change with a precise target in mind:
to reduce its natural gas emissions in 2021 by 10% with respect to its 2016 emissions.
To pursue this target, it has elaborated an investment plan to implement projects that include various kinds of operations: recompression of gas in the transmission network and at the compression stations; replacement of natural gas-fired pneumatic actuators in the transport and storage infrastructure; innovation on the plants. The investments planned by the Company for the new technologies aimed at enhancing operational performance, such as the experimental studies undertaken on "real time leak detection", are greater than 200 million euros of which about 160 million in Industry 4.0 initiatives. These technologies will contribute not only to the efficiency of the transmission system but also to the control and reduction of natural gas emissions.
This programme is in line with the Company's commitment to combat climate change, which has always been strong: from 2009 to 2016, Snam reduced its natural gas emissions by 11%, its CO2 emissions from combustion by 21% and its direct CO2eq emissions by 16%.
Snam is contributing to the evolution of the "gas product" through the development of infrastructure to favour the use of compressed natural gas in the transport sector, the use of liquefied natural gas and biomethane.
The contribution of biomethane to the goals of decarbonisation is not limited to the energy consumption phase. The production process can make a contribution to significantly reduce emissions in the agricultural industry and restoring soil organic matter: the digestate (what remains after the anaerobic digestion of the agricultural matter) is actually an excellent natural fertiliser.
Snam, together with the Italian Biogas Consortium and Confagricoltura, it has elaborated and publicly presented a programme to support the Italian biomethane chain, addressed to the Government and the EU Commission and announced during the 2016 edition of Biogas Italy. In December 2016, the first Snam workshop entirely dedicated to biomethane was held in San Donato Milanese. The event, which attracted about a hundred people representing over 50 gas transmission system operators and associations, served to take stock of the situation in view of the injection of the initial flows of biomethane into the Snam network. Actually, although the legislative system is still evolving also due to the market facilitator role played by Snam, there have already been 350 enquiries of which 50 have become formal requests for connections to the network. Experts estimate that, by 2030, the production of biomethane will reach 8 billion cubic metres a year to cover more than 10% of consumption on a national level.
In the meantime, the first biomethane has been injected in the national pipeline network in June by Montello SpA, an Italian and EU leader in bio-waste recovery and recycle with an annual production at full capacity estimated at 32 million standard cubic metres, the equivalent of a quantity of biofuel for about 640 million kilometers traveled by "bio vehicles". Montello's plant, which recovers wet organic waste produced by 6 million of inhabitants (equal to 60% of the whole Lombardy region), does not produce emissions and is the first Italian "Carbon Negative" plant, recovering from generated biogas (composed by nearly 60% of methane and nearly 40% of CO2) 38,000 tons/year of liquid CO2, to be used for technic and alimentary sectors.
Snam will also contribute to an increase in use of methane in the automotive sector, by providing its experience in the field and investing about 150 million euros over the coming 5 years to favour the development of filling stations and a more balanced distribution of them across the country, and increasing their number by about 300 units. Snam's commitment lies within the scope of its relationship of collaboration with FCA and IVECO, who intend to broaden their ranges of natural gas vehicles further and is sanctioned by a memorandum of understanding signed in October 2016. In addition, in December 2016, Snam and the Api Group signed a letter of intent to develop up to 150 new natural gas filling stations across the country at the IP points of sale of the Api Group.
This action could impact in a positive way on the environment and the people's health: replacing two million traditionally-fuelled vehicles with natural gas vehicles could lead to a reduction – calculated on the total fleet of vehicles- of 4%CO, 10% NOx and 12%PM.
In conclusion an integrated approach to the climate change challenge could give multiple benefits, not only involving the climate action goal itself but also affecting other goals as the 7 and the 12 ensuring access to sustainable energy and promoting sustainable production patterns involving the supply chain.
