Blacktown City Council Mayor Stephen Bali, SALSA founder and Associate Professor Smita Shah, Rooty Hill High School Council Life Member, Helen Fone.
Rooty Hill High School Council and the Parents and Citizens Association have awarded Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD) Primary Health Care and Research Unit director Smita Shah an award for her outstanding community contributions.
Associate Professor Smita Shah was recognised for her work as the founder of the Students As Lifestyle Activists (SALSA) program.
She is the driving force behind the success of the ten-year-old program, which is run in conjunction with the local General Practitioners Association.
The program involves university students training peer leaders to teach younger high school students about healthy and active living.
Smita has continued to develop the award winning program and has implemented it in nearly 30 schools across western Sydney.
She has actively engaged with parents, contributed to events, and has worked with the GWS Giants and Blacktown Council to ensure young people from this school have the opportunity to have a voice in local issues.
Smita is tireless in her support of the schools she works with and in the enthusiasm and belief she has in the western Sydney community.
Smita said her award is an opportunity to grow the SALSA program even more.
"This award will help us implement the SALSA program at more schools in the area," A/Professor Shah said.
"It will help us continue our important work in preventing the increasing rate of obesity in adolescents in western Sydney."

For this testing, we used a performance air cooler, the Eclipse II, along with a 110CFM fan at full speed. While this setup is noisy, it provides pretty good cooling performance that is in line with AIO water-cooling units. This article only focuses on CPU performance; the memory we used was only overclocked to 2000MHz, far away from its 2600MHz XMP profile. The motherboard, a GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SOC Force, was flashed with its latest final BIOS (F6).
The first character in the batch number, the L, means that the CPUs are from Malaysia. The next digit designates the year the CPU was made, in this case all three are from 2013. The next two digits designate the week number. The rest of the batch number is the lot.
The GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SOC Force is a board made for overclocking. Here it fulfills our needs just fine. In fact, we aren't even utilizing half of its features, most of which are made for sub-zero overclocking.
Memory and Uncore/Cache are set to 2000MHz and 4.0GHz respectively. Sometimes a BCLK divider of 1.25x was used; in that case, it was still possible to maintain 2000MHz memory and 4.0GHz Uncore/Cache.
Base Clock (BCLK) is changed to 100.02 to make sure it is at 100 MHz. The CPU Ratio is changed to what is needed. I like to set 45x and then increase or decrease with software or the OC Touch buttons.
I leave all the Turbo settings on auto and disable all the power saving features. This ensures I run 24/7 with my CPU ratio. This procedure may differ on other motherboards. In this menu, Uncore/Cache ratio is set to 40x to make sure it doesn't impact CPU stability too much.
I like to set LLC to Extreme, and I like to set the digital PWM to care about performance more than overall temperature.
Voltages other than VCore are set like this for boot up, but software in Windows (GTL-GIGABYTE Tweak Launcher) allowed us to make on-the-fly adjustments when needed. We kept the input voltage around 2.0v; for some higher speeds, 2.1v was required for stability (such as our 4.85GHz stability run). An increase in the Uncore/Cache voltage to 1.15v helps stabilize things.
The memory speed above was captured when the 1.25x BCLK divider was engaged, thus a 16x memory multiplier with a 1.25x BCLK divider yields 2000MHz memory speed.


Biomechanics is the sport science field that applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance, in order to gain a greater understanding of performance in athletic events through modeling, simulation and measurement. It is also necessary to have a good understanding of the application of physics to sport, as physical principles such as motion, resistance, momentum and friction play a part in most sporting events. Biomechanics is a diverse interdisciplinary field, with branches in Zoology, Botany, Physical Anthropology, Orthopedics, Bio-engineering and Human Performance.
What is the general role of biomechanics and how does it relate to sports?
The general role of biomechanics is to understand the mechanical cause-effect relationships that determine the motions of living organisms.
It is generally believed that jobs in biomechanics are limited to highly competitive research positions at universities or government organizations. However, the courses taken in an undergraduate level biomechanical or related degree program prepare students to work in jobs like sports trainer, fitness journalist and product development manager for biomechanical innovations. More people in society are trying to reach fitness goals and adopt anti-aging strategies, which is why professionally educated sports trainers and the writers who promote their talents are in great demand. Also, those who help develop human machine interface (HMI) products like ergonomic devices that help prevent and alleviate stress on sensitive body parts also find positions with innovative companies. Students who continue their education and receive an advanced or doctoral degree in biomechanics or a related discipline have broader employment options that include positions like sports physiologist, biomechanical researcher and physical therapist.


The finding of the Franklin ship—there were two, the H.M.S. Erebus and the H.M.S. Terror; no one is yet sure which has been spotted down there—is, for Canadians, a very big deal ("Canada's Moon Shot," the Toronto Star called it), since the Franklin expedition has long provided the single most eventful mythological moment in Canada's admittedly not-exactly-limitlessly mythologized history. Margaret Atwood, in her essay "Concerning Franklin and His Gallant Crew," from 1991, identifies it as a kind of origin myth of disaster in the Canadian experience. To translate it from Canadian into American terms, it is as if someone had found, in a single moment, the hull of the Titanic, the solution to the mystery of the lost colony at Roanoke, the original flag of "The Star-Spangled Banner," and the menu for the Donner Party's last meal.
The basic outlines of what happened to Franklin and his crew after they foundered in the Victoria Strait had long been surmised from various kinds of evidence, chiefly the testimony of the local Inuit people, who, in 1854, told an explorer named John Rae of a group of around thirty-five Europeans who had died of starvation while struggling south. Graves and other remains of the Franklin crew also turned up on two Arctic islands, and have over the years been subject to scientific examination, revealing, or seeming to, that the men of the expedition had already been self-poisoned by badly tinned food. But the details of what had happened remained murky, at times horrifying, and often bowdlerized. One of the significant things about the Franklin expedition, as I wrote in my book "Winter," is that, though the voyage was a failure, the relentless search for its relics gave polar exploration the existential accents that it would keep well into the time of Scott and Shackleton. Every expedition that went out in search of Franklin, through the next decades, threatened itself to become lost, and sometimes did. It was a form of throwing good explorers after bad. The search for Franklin became far more significant than Franklin, leading to much newly mapped territory and many frozen English faces.
One of the spark plugs of the discovery of Franklin's boat was the Canadian philanthropist and Arctic lover Jim Balsillie, who, working closely with the scientists of Parks Canada, the Prime Minister's office, and the Royal Canadian Navy made it possible to build a "platform"—a big and hardy ship, called the Martin Bergmann, in honor of a colleague killed in a plane crash, in 2011—which could be used as a kind of floating home base for the dedicated and frequently chilly searchers. Balsillie, who made his fortune as one of the founders of Research in Motion, the firm that gave the world the BlackBerry, now devotes himself to an array of good and sometimes quixotic causes. (A friend of mine, he was also our own Malcolm Gladwell's roommate at Trinity College, in Toronto; Canada can be a very small nation.) "I'd like to pretend we had a prescient and beautiful plan," he said the other afternoon from Toronto. "In truth, it was all improvisation and a bit of luck. It's mostly just doggedness that counts when you're dragging sonar equipment across the ocean floor. I call it mowing the lawn, and the questions are mostly who has a bigger mower and who mows longer.
During that southern search, a helicopter pilot named Andrew Stirling, working under the guidance of the archaeologist Doug Stenton, began a "walk survey" of a previously unsurveyed island. "And that's where they found it: a davit," Balsillie said—a pulley system for deploying lifeboats. "So anyway, they looked at it and—a heart-stopping momentthis was—it had the little arrows of the Royal Navy on it. So they said, 'Let's get over to this island and start searching right now.' They redeployed within hours and—well, they found it.
"The basic take is that it is pretty clear now. These guys [the Franklin crew] went down Victoria Strait, they got stuck—irrefutably, I think—in the most forbidding, awful part of the Arctic, where the ice pushes down—they just got stuck in the ice. They got stuck really bad. And then what happened was that they were voyaging from Victoria Island, and they came back to the vessel and the ice broke and they actually sailed again, for a while. I think the ice broke and they sailed it down, and then they were moving around and they got close to shoals. And they said, 'Let's leave the ship and see if we can catch a Hudson's Bay [trading] post.' I think that's what happened. Where they were sailing there's incredible potential for near misses in shoals—the Bergmann was mowing the lawn in forty metres of water. The boat must have been caught up and stuck, or near stuck, and they found the best place they could to land. And they started walking." Balsillie explained that these new findings made sense of many other puzzling details in the pieced-together accounts—including Inuit lore of a "ghost ship" seen sailing south, presumably the relaunched Franklin vessel.
Part of the mythology of the Franklin expedition—the Donner Party bit—involves their apparent descent into cannibalism. "From the mutilated state of many of the corpses, and the contents of the kettles, it is evident that our wretched countrymen had been driven to the last resource—cannibalism—as a means of prolonging existence," John Rae reported—a conclusion which for some reason infuriated the great Charles Dickens, who collaborated with his friend Wilkie Collins on a Franklin-themed play, "The Frozen Deep," and fixed some of the responsibility on the guiltless Inuit themselves. "We have yet to learn what knowledge the white man—lost, houseless, shipless, apparently forgotten by his race, plainly famine-stricken, weak, frozen, helpless, and dying—has of the gentleness of the Esquimaux nature," Dickens wrote.
No one is certain whether the ship found and photographed is the Terror or the Erebus. If it is the Terror, as many suspect, it would give the story a peculiarly American and ironic angle—for, in a turn that would stump even a historical novelist, the Terror was one of the ships that bombarded Baltimore on that famous night when, in the dawn's early light, despite the rockets and bombs, our flag, if nothing else, was still there. Survival, it is often said, is the key trope of Canadian prose, and so the discovery would once again link Canadian and American history—with the Americans triumphing, sort of, and singing loudly about it, while the Canadian boat (or at least a British ship, adapted by soul rights into Canadian myth) simply survived, deep and frozen, all these years.
On the other hand, by far the most memorable of the many recyclings of the Franklin mythology in Canadian literature occurs in what many regard as the closest thing there is to the Great Canadian Novel, Mordecai Richler's "Solomon Gursky Was Here." In it, Ephraim Gursky, a Jewish mischief-maker escaped from London, slips aboard the Franklin expedition—and, while the honest Britishers languish with their lead-poisoned tinned rations, he and his friend Izzy fatten up on a diet of kasha and schmaltz herring, surviving to pass on their faith, and a smattering of Yiddish, to a select community of Inuit. So far, at least, no trace of the Gurskys, their herring, or the Yiddish-speaking Inuit has been found.

Cybercrime. Watch It Happen In Real Time.
If you watch TV news reports about cybercrime, you may occasionally catch a glimpse of a high-tech control room where boffins sit watching fancy displays that show the current real-time state of global security. If so, and you like what you see, then here's a treat for you.
Courtesy of security company Kaspersky, you can now have your own cyber control room, from the comfort of your own PC. You won't be able to control anything, of course, but you can see precisely what's happening all across the world.
The Cybermap is a real-time display of all the malware, cyberthreats and other hacking attempts that are currently being detected by Kaspersky's security products that are installed on millions of computers. The map shows, in graphical detail, where these threats are coming from, what type of threats are involved, the intended target country, and the level of threat at any one time. You can pan and zoom the world map to focus on specific areas.
It's both fascinating and educational to watch. And there are also links to various free Kaspersky sites that allow you to check your own security.
There's no need to download or install any software to view the Cybermap. Just point your web browser at https://cybermap.kaspersky.com/ and watch in amazement.
I find this dynamic map fascinating. It makes me wonder if similar displays in the "control rooms" of other antivirus vendors show similar patterns?
Thanks MC.... I'll have another go at it.
all good now MidniteCowboy.....I just opened the link in IE which is a browser that I never use, and it's working fine.
Now I gotta figure out why it don't work in my default browser, SRWare Iron ?
All I get is a black screen with nothing happening.


This post is the continuation of the Previous Post (Graphical Representation of Data Part 1).
Ø The Frequency Polygon is a curve representing a frequency distribution.
Ø In frequency polygon, the mid values of each class are first obtained.
Ø In a graph paper, the frequency of each class is plotted against the mid-value of class (on the X axis).
Ø Then these points are then joined by a straight line.
Ø This straight line is extended in both directions to meet on the X axis.
Ø The first point is joined to the lower limit of the first class and the last point is joined to the upper limit of last class. Thus, the frequency polygon is a closed graph.

The Vegan Mouse: Eating vegan at Islands.
Basket of fries are a must!
No Blame Veggie Tacos. Order without the cheese. I switched out corn for flour tortillas which was a personal preference. It would have been great with corn tortillas too.
Those fries look delicious! As do the tacos. Thanks for the reminder of how easy it is to eat vegan, even at Chains! This is my first time commenting, but I have loooooved your blog for quite some time!
Thanks! I love going out to eat and I was happy to find something at Islands. The tacos are the only thing that vegans can get as the veggie burger there is not vegan.
I lost your blog for a bit there, sorry! Glad I found you again!
I like your picks for the Vegan MoFo "Island" prompt!
Thanks this really helped. I eat there almost weekly and I got sick of the veggie tacos so tonight I had a Chicken Hoisin Bowl minus the chicken. It is topped w/fresh grilled pineapple, red bell peppers, snow peas, water chestnuts, red onions, broccoli & diced scallions w/hoisin sauce, served over brown rice. Also available w/teriyaki sauce. I checked the allergen list and this had no dairy or eggs. It was good. Now I have two things to pick from tacos (which I've been getting for years when I was a vegetarian) or a bowl. Thank you vegan mouse, I'm a big fan!
Just Googled "Islands vegan" and your blog came up. Thanks for the info - but after searching Islands' allergens info, the no blame tacos do have dairy in them (most likely cooked in butter). Have you found success asking them to grill it in oil for you? Thanks!
Hi anon, yes I know the allergen info says "dairy". It is due to the cheese that they normally put in the tacos. If you have them leave out the cheese, it's dairy free. The veggies are grilled. These tacos are in the low calorie section if the menu. They are delicious!
Do you know if there are bell peppers in the veggie patties at islands? Can't find an ingredient list.


My sleep training programmes are intended to teach you how to support your baby to sleep independently. This is so that they are able to self soothe to go to sleep and return to sleep overnight by the end of your support with me.
I cannot guarantee that any baby will sleep continuously overnight without stirring. Babies have natural sleep cycles and may stir throughout the night, even having periods of 'awake' time, this is also the case once they are good sleepers. However because they will be able to self soothe, your input in this awake time will be minimal as they will be happy being awake and then go to sleep by themselves once tired.
If your baby has a dummy that they use as a prop to go to sleep they may need this each time they stir overnight. This may require you to put it in for them. This means that you may find yourself having to get up, just to put the dummy in, if you choose not to eliminate it as part of the training. Dummy removal can be included in any package, but this should be included from the start of the training to ensure its success.
A successful Yummy Baby Group sleep program requires full commitment from parents. By embarking upon the sleep program you are making a financial commitment to the cost of that sleep program, regardless of your payment terms. In the event that a parent wishes to cancel a program before completion, under any circumstances, it is at the discretion of Yummy Baby Group as to what, if any, refund is given. A cancelled sleep program does not count towards the success rate of Yummy Baby Group.
I will always be on hand to answer all of your questions on any subject for your baby. As I base all of my advice on my qualifications, experience and knowledge; it is personal advice and that is what it is intended for. By no means is it meant as a substitute for medical advice. If you are ever at all worried about your baby/child you must seek advice via your GP or medical centre.
I will endeavour to support any questions you may have 24 hours a day. There may be occasions that I am unavailable or I am not near my phone, I will keep these instances to as minimal amount of time as possible. I am entitled to 15 days per year that I am not 'on call' if one of these is happening in your program I will notify you in advance and will add extra days to the end of the support period.
Please note all contact to me outside of my 'office' hours (Monday-Friday 9am-8pm and Saturday 9am-1pm) is only for 'emergency' situations. Any issues that can wait until the next day I will action then.
If calls are your preferable method of contact I am more than happy to speak on the telephone for non emergency discussions within office hours, please just text me for available times on a day by day basis.
The preferred way to contact me on a daily basis is outlined in the table below.
Telephone Calls If you have any questions that need an immediate response, when you hit a problem in the implementation of your program or in the case of an emergency.
SMS (Text Message) For non-emergency questions that you would like a quick response on.
E-mail For general updates and non-urgent questions.

New Year's Babies: More Than 150 Children Will Be Born In The Pacific Islands On New Year's Day
Friday, 1 January 2021, 4:39 pm
Press Release: UNICEF
An estimated 161 babies will be born in the Pacific islands* on New Year's Day, according to UNICEF.
As the calendar turns to 2021, UNICEF is again celebrating the new lives being brought into the world on January 1. Samoa, in the Pacific, will welcome 2021's first baby. Niue, its last. Regionally, the highest number of births are estimated to take place in three countries: Solomon Islands (53), Fiji (45), and Vanuatu (22).
Globally, it is estimated that 371,504 babies will be born on New Year's Day.
"This has been a difficult year for all of us – a global pandemic and two category five cyclones. There is perhaps no better way to turn the page than to welcome new young lives into the world," said UNICEF Pacific Representative, Sheldon Yett. "With the challenges of 2020 behind us, and the opportunities of 2021 before us, now is the time to begin to build a better world. Children born today will inherit the world we begin to build for them—today."
2021 marks the 75th anniversary of UNICEF. Over the course of the year, UNICEF and its partners will be commemorating the anniversary with events and announcements celebrating three-quarters of a century of protecting children from natural disasters, disease and exclusion, and championing their right to survival, health and education.
Today, as the region faces unprecedented challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the two monstrous cyclones, economic slowdown, rising poverty and inequality, we are reminded that the need for UNICEF's partnership is as great as ever.
"There is no more appropriate year than this—the year of UNICEF's 75th Anniversary—to renew our commitment to each other, and to the young lives who will inherit the world we leave," said Sheldon Yett. "2021 will be a critical year for children, but UNICEF's three-quarters of a century of delivering results for children around the world are a testament to what we can accomplish together."

Elisa Spungen Bildner and Rob Bildner, the "first couple of Jewish overnight camp," will be honored at UJA MetroWest's benefit concert.
New Jersey's "first couple of Jewish overnight camp" — Elisa Spungen Bildner and Rob Bildner of Montclair — will be the honorees at the 2011 United Jewish Appeal of MetroWest benefit concert on May 15.
The annual event has always paid tribute to community philanthropists and featured exceptional musical performances, but that is where any similarity to the first 13 UJA concerts ends. For the first time, the event is moving from its previous venue, the NJ Performing Arts Center in Newark, to the Community Theatre at the Mayo Center for the Performing Arts in Morristown. Rather than evening attire, attendees are encouraged to dress "camp casual." And this year, the main attraction will be preceded by a free outdoor family concert on the Vail Mansion Great Lawn featuring Jewish rocker Sheldon Low.
In the theater, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Lucas Richman, will present a Slavic-tinged program of rhapsodies and dances by Beethoven, Dvorak, and Wieniawski and conclude with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Special guest violinist Brittany Sklar of Garfield will perform.
The event's new look and feel reflect the passion of the Bildners, who in 1998 established the Foundation for Jewish Camp. The nationwide umbrella organization for Jewish camping sponsors research, retreats, and learning opportunities for camping professionals and is behind the One Happy Camper $1,000 incentive grants for youngsters having their first-time Jewish overnight camping experience.
The Bildners also cochair the MetroWest Jewish Camp Enterprise to advocate and promote Jewish camping to local families.
In addition, for just the second time, this year's proceeds will be divided, with 75 percent benefiting UJA MetroWest, 25 percent going toward scholarships through the MetroWest Jewish Camp Enterprise.
He credited ad journal chairs Archie Gottesman and Gary DeBode with the idea to bring in Sheldon Low, who has deep ties to Jewish camping and spends summers touring Jewish camps and who, accompanied by local youngsters, will be part of the program inside the concert hall as well, singing the American and Israeli national anthems.

OZTek was again kicked off with Michael Menduno continuing his presentation from the opening morning on the adventures in AQUACorps magazine and the origins of the original Tek Show of the mid nineties. Interesting to remember the resistance to nitrox that abounded with its first introduction to the recreational diving market. I will speak about the origins of technical diving with a future post. For now, it is worth mentioning that something that most divers consider the norm today, was not always viewed that way.
Michael Menduno explains the initial industry response from Skin Diver magazine to the introduction of nitrox and technical diving.
I was able to sit in on Dr. Simon Mitchell's presentation today about improving the safety of rebreather diving. He is an amazing presenter and is always sure to bring a good joke or two during the presentation as well. The content of his talk centered around the ways that rebreather divers and the industry can look at what they do to help mitigate and minimize incidents. He presented what data is available to try to shake out what the incident rate might be for rebreather diving as compared to open circuit (regular scuba) diving.
Simon found as best as can be shaked out of the data that rebreather diving carried with it a higher incident rate than open circuit. The why or skew to the data pool because of the types of diving that many rebreather divers are doing was pointed out, but his point was that the rebreather divers are using rebreathers so they can do these greater exposure dives and ways to make the use safer is a worthy investigation.
Dr. Simon Mitchell explains that what data we have is limited on rebreather diving, so he makes light of this lack of data.
Simon does a very good job balancing what can be gleaned from the data and is scientific and what might be observation and or opinion. I was reminded that much of what has been discussed today are the same issues we have faced when the new rebreather revolution began in the mid 1990s. The difference now is that more divers are using them to do bigger and longer dives than back then. Very interesting discussion.
Dr. Simon Mitchell fielding questions after his talk at OZTek 2011. This talk brought a flurry of questions from the audience. MC Des Paroz joined him on stage to field questions.
Jarrod Jablonski of GUE tenure presented on risk. His talk was well balanced with references to acceptable risk and assessing the differences from unacceptable risk. Examples were given related to fatalities that were illustrative of the issues presented spanning twenty years of diving.
Jarrod Jablonski presenting at OZTek 2011 on risk relates that risk and warnings about it are everywhere.
I presented on Precision Diving to a large crowd. It was a fun time and I was joined by a wide variety of divers from newer to seasoned explorers. Everyone seemed to enjoy the presentation and had fun with learning how to breathe. It never ceases to amuse me when I see people light up about the realization in Precision Diving. I had a lengthy discussion with a local diver after the talk about how he used breathing from his singing training and wished he had been told how to use that knowledge and be more able to control it while diving. Instead, he had to struggle with buoyancy changes and over weighting to compensate. He wished it had been explained to him just how much control and impact breathing has on all the other aspects of the foundational skills.
It was a good day. The OZTek Awards Dinner was good fun and I hear it went way into the night. I had to duck out early to hit the bed for an early flight the next day to Melbourne.
Today was the first day of the OZTek diving show in Sydney, Australia. I did one talk today about the physiology of deep freediving and how that is providing interesting insights and parallels with technical diving. For anyone that does not know what technical diving is, you can read more about it here. In a nutshell, it is diving that is conducted beyond the "recreational" envelope. In future posts there will be more discussion about these differences and what they are, but for now I will keep it simple.
The importance of this show to Australia is that it is the only diving show that occurs here that draws an international audience and speakers. Also, the lack of a recreational show draws recreational divers on mass. It is an interesting mix of interests and backgrounds that makes it a lot of fun.
Talks range from the truly technical to more informative ones that link techniques and innovations back to more mainstream diving. Jill Heinerth presented on the safety and issues surrounding the growth of rebreather diving and increased participation by divers with this equipment. I was able to sit in on it and enjoyed the presentation. Interestingly, we have some common themes that run through our ideas about how to help divers be better at all levels.
Jill Heinerth speaking about rebreather safety.
It can be difficult to pick which of the three presentations to attend each hour. Unfortunately, Dr. Simon Mitchell was presenting at the same time I was and I missed his talk. He was presenting on carbon dioxide and its effects on divers with information on new technologies for detecting it within rebreathers. We exchanged slide sets so we can see what we missed.
Michael Menduno, of AQUACorps fame (one of the first widely published technical diving specific magazine), opened the show with a fun and memory jogging review of the very beginning days of the practice. He is the person that coined the term "technical diving" because if the similarities to technical climbing. The term stuck.
Michael explaining where the origins for coining the term "technical diving" came from.
Tomorrow brings another full program and I will be speaking about Precision Diving.

New Images and Character Descriptions from DreamWorks Animation's THE CROODS, Featuring Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone and Nicolas Cage
by Dave Trumbore August 31, 2012
We're about six months out from the release of DreamWorks Animation's The Croods, the studio's tale about a prehistoric family unit trying to adapt to a changing world. We brought you coverage on The Croods earlier this year from Comic-Con 2012 where DreamWorks Animation chief creative officer Bill Damashke and supervising animator James Baxter talked about the backstory and progress of the film. Now we have some new polished images of the family members as well as more meat to fill out each character.
The Croods, written and directed by Kirk De Micco (Space Chimps) and Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch) and featuring the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, Catherine Keener, Cloris Leachman and Clark Duke, opens March 22nd, 2013. Hit the jump to check out the new images and character descriptions.
Check out the new images and character descriptions for The Croods, courtesy of EW (via The Playlist) followed by the official synopsis. Left to right, here are the family members:
Thunk (voiced Duke, Hot Tub Time Machine): DeMicco describes the middle-child as "6-foot-9, 320 pounds, and 9 years old. He's so big and so wants to be like his sister and his dad. He has the best heart and the worst coordination." Sanders comments on his intellect, saying, "I don't think Thunk will ever catch up. We love him."
Gran (Leachman): The main antagonist for Cage's character, Grug, the father of the family. "She's like this ferocious, almost crocodile-type woman," DeMicco said. "We always say: 'She's older than dirt — some say she's 45. She has lived a very long life in a short amount of time."
Sandy the baby: Sanders refers to her as a "half Tasmanian devil and half child." Oscar-winning sound designer Randy Thom is building her growing voice from a compilation of creature noises. "She's still ferocious, still bites, and it's kind of the way that Grug wants his kids to be. She's a survivor. She might be the one to make it better than any of them."
Ugga (Keener): "She's probably more open-minded than Grug when it comes to change, but she's very much his partner in this thing," Sanders says. "For a mom, she has the world's hardest job. Keeping this family alive is not easy. Just getting lunch is a life and death situation. This is the universal thing — dads, moms all want to keep their family safe. 'How much freedom do I let them have? … I wish I could keep them in sight all the time, because then everything will be okay."
Eep (Stone): "Of all The Croods, she was the one who liked the cave they lived in the least," Sanders says. "The Croods spent much of their time in the dark, and that was Grug's way of keeping his family safe. When their cave falls down and they're forced to go on this journey, everyone is a little freaked out — but not Eep. For The Croods, anything new is super scary. New is bad. On this journey, every single thing they come across is going to be new. For Grug, it's a nightmare. For Eep, it's the greatest thing that ever happened to her."
Grug (Cage): The filmmakers refer to Grug as a well-meaning but fumbling sitcom dad. "Everyone deals with change in their family, and who deals with change more than a father with kids growing up?" says DeMicco. "Nic Cage has done a great job of making him likeable, while at the same time overprotective, which is not an easy thing to do."
And finally, here's our dashing protagonist, Guy (Reynolds):
"Guy is human being 2.0; he's not as a strong as the Croods but he's more about using his brain," Sanders says. "When they discover he can make fire, they kidnap him, stick him in a hollow log, and keep him."
"Like a human lighter," DeMicco adds.
Guy and Eep form a romantic pairing which, as Sanders says, " is really Grug's nightmare. Guy is full of ideas. Croods don't really have ideas." Guy apparently wins Eep over by introducing her to life outside of a dark cave and that evolutionary weak point of women: shoes.
Here's the official synopsis for The Croods:
The Croods is being written and directed by two-time Academy Award® nominee Chris Sanders (How to Train Your Dragon, Lilo & Stitch) and Kirk DeMicco (Space Chimps) and produced by Kristine Belson (How to Train Your Dragon) and Jane Hartwell (Shrek). It stars Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke and Cloris Leachman. The Croods is a comedy adventure that takes us back to a previously undiscovered era in the history of our planet known as the Croodaceous, when nature was still a work-in-progress… full of never-before- seen creatures and landscapes. Audiences will relate to the hilarious family antics as an imaginative and resourceful newcomer helps the Croods navigate their way through the fantastic world beyond their cave.

Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is working on a project that will bring Lahore's red light area Heera Mandi on an online platform, Indian media reported, citing sources.
It is a passion project of the Padmaavat director, who has been working on it for 13 years, Bollywood Hungama reported. It said in December that the OTT platform was Netflix.
It was going to be a period drama, but will be produced as a web film now.
Alia Bhatt has been finalised, while other A-list actresses such as Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit, Deepika Padukone and Vidya Balan are being considered.
"Sanjay is personally doing the casting," a source revealed to Hungama. "Though officially his former assistant Vibhu Puri is going to direct Heera Mandi, SLB's stamp will be evident in every frame."

The filming will start in the first quarter of 2021.
Bhansali is currently working on Gangubai Kathiawadi with Bhatt in the lead role. It is based on the book The Mafia Queens of Bollywood by the Indian Author Hussain Zaidi, and tells the story of a brothel owner of the same name.

I don't want to get too detailed. Below is a close-up of one section.
Now I will let this rest some time and maybe I will come up with something else to do.
I have been distracted by other matters and progress is slow, but here is a new picture. It is almost scary to show how it looks now. Hopefully I can improve the work.
The photo of the painting is not perfect. The colors are not quite as bright and I will try to darken and dull the entire painting.

The emergence of social media has created a new avenue for facilitating daily information and communication needs. As technology grows and expands our range of communication, social media is becoming a vital tool for daily social interaction. It creates opportunity for people to interact with each other in a way that is both helpful and essential to socially motivate people. The rapid fire quick communication style that captivates the millennials and other generation has shifted our conversations from 'face-to-face' instances to 'through –the-screen' ones.

Insurers are Recycling a Front Group to Cheat Us Out of Benefits
The special interests seeking to gut those portions of the health reform law that would be of greatest benefit to consumers clearly believe there is no such thing as historical memory in Washington.
Why else would they bring one of their old front groups out of the storage locker, with just a single new word added to its name? A front group designed to persuade Americans that what they might have thought was in their best interests really isn't after all.

CMD's Quick Guide to the Mark Block "Blocktopus"
by Brendan Fischer and Sara Jerving
The Center for Media and Democracy filed a letter this week requesting that the Internal Revenue Service investigate Prosperity USA, a charity founded by Herman Cain's Chief of Staff Mark Block, for potentially violating the Internal Revenue Code by fronting tens of thousands of dollars worth of Mr. Cain's campaign travel expenses. But Prosperity USA is only one node in a network of charities and nonprofit organizations associated with Mr. Block, the former head of the Wisconsin arm of the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity.

CMD Requests IRS Investigate Charity Accused of Fronting Private Jets for Presidential Campaign
PRESS RELEASE, NOVEMBER 7, 2011
CONTACT: NIKOLINA LAZIC (312) 731-1292
Madison -- Today, the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) filed a letter requesting that the Internal Revenue Service investigate a charity operated by Wisconsin political veteran Mark Block that spent over $40,000 of tax-exempt donations to pay for private jets, travel, and computers for Herman Cain's presidential bid. CMD also requested an examination of other Mark Block-related groups sharing the same address or other commonalities. Mr. Cain, who has denied knowing who paid for his various travels, is not the target of these requests to the IRS.

Insurers Want Obama to Defy Law So They Can Continue Keeping You In The Dark
If you have no idea what you're paying good money for when you enroll in a health insurance plan, there's a good reason for that: insurers profit from your ignorance. And they're waging an intense, behind-the-scenes campaign to keep you in the dark.
In my first appearance before Congress after leaving the insurance industry, I told members of the Senate Commerce Committee that insurers intentionally make it all but impossible for consumers to find out in advance of buying a policy exactly what is covered and what isn't, and how much they'll be on the hook for if they get sick or injured. Insurers are quite willing to provide you with slick marketing materials about their policies, but those materials are notoriously skimpy when it comes to useful information. And the documents they provide after you enroll are so dense that few of us can understand them.

Don't Buy Insurers' Junk -- Or Let Them Keep Selling It
Members of Congress and the Obama administration have assured us that on January 1, 2014, junk health insurance plans -- which offer only the illusion of adequate coverage to the millions of Americans enrolled in them -- will become a thing of the past.
Among those who clearly don't believe those plans are headed for extinction are the insurance companies that market these highly profitable plans, and the employers that buy them -- primarily restaurant chains and retailers with high employee turnover.
If I were President Obama, I would send one of my aides to the Chicago suburbs later this week to see first-hand just how determined these companies are to continue selling these plans -- which are euphemistically called "mini-med" and "limited-benefit policies" -- long past 2014.

ALEC Ties Bring Down British Defense Secretary, Threaten Prime Minister David Cameron
British Defense Secretary Liam Fox has stepped down in the midst of an escalating scandal tied to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The ALEC connections have led opposition party leaders and the British press to question whether British Prime Minister David Cameron has been "allowing a secret rightwing agenda to flourish at the heart of the Conservative party."

The Battle Between O'Dwyer and PRSA
The Public Relations Society of America, the trade group for the American public relations industry, and Jack O'Dwyer, who has specialized in reporting on the PR industry for over 40 years, are at war, and the battle is getting heated -- and harmful for PRSA.
Why should people care about this obscure fight? Because the conflict is a microcosm of the battle against the unethical and harmful PR trends that are hurting this country.

Health Care Reform Opponents Winning the PR War
The Kaiser Family Foundation just released the findings of its annual survey of businesses to determine how much the cost of employer-sponsored health coverage has gone up. There were some unexpected findings.
One was that the average cost of annual premiums for family coverage is now more than $15,000. The 9 percent increase in the cost of health insurance over last year caught many people by surprise because it represented a bigger hike in premiums than in recent years.

Last week, the insurance industry and its allies began what I predict will be a massive campaign to sell the public and policymakers on the idea of moving forward with the Ryan plan -- albeit with a few tweaks and new a new sales pitch to make it seem more consumer-friendly.
An outfit called the Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) announced in a press release a scheme that could be called Ryan-lite, but don't be fooled: the plan would -- to use a favorite industry term -- take us down the "slippery slope" toward a complete corporate takeover of the Medicare program. (Insurers and their allies for years have warned Americans that enacting sweeping health care reforms they don't like would lead us down the slippery slope toward socialism.)

A study by Skinner et al. (1993) explored teacher involvement on student motivation within a classroom. Children's motivation could be predicted based on the teachers autonomy support. Skinner et al. (1993) goes on to highlight the importance of positive relationships and communication between pupils and teachers. Despite these positive findings it is also noted pupils that are displaying disengaging behaviour, received poor teacher responses which will only continue, to weaken the pupil motivation. There are three key areas identified that dramatically increase pupil's motivation and therefore interaction with learning, these being choice, personalization and contextualization.
Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivational strategies nearly always become the forefront of every lesson. "To be motivated means to be moved to do something" (Ryan, 2000). Therefore, if a pupil feels no inspiration to complete a task they are deemed as unmotivated. Without the children feeling inspired, we cannot expect them to produce inspiring work as a result. Research has discovered that extrinsic rewards on behaviours that children have already expressed interest in, can cause a phenomenon called the overjustification effect, resulting in children becoming disinterested (Lepper, 1973). Research from Leeper et al. (1973) with similarly aged children supported this hypothesis. He discovered that children sometimes engage in behaviours that seem to be ends in themselves, compared to being means to an outcome. These result in enjoyment, satisfaction and feelings of interest; actions stimulated from intrinsic motivations (Sansone et al., 2000). Gottfried's (1990) research on primary aged pupils and intrinsic motivation showed that children have strong intrinsic motivation from an early age and they will continue to enhance throughout the years. He believed that intrinsic motivations have a significant impact on children's education. Deci (1971) discovered through research with primary aged pupils that extrinsic rewards can diminish intrinsic motivations. By contrast, Deci discovered that positive verbal praise enhances intrinsic motivations. Making continuous positive praise (where deserved) so important. Oldfather et al. (1994) concurred when he stated that children are at the forefront of the classroom. He believed their feedback of what makes them motivated, should always considered. If children feel heard, they feel important. Resulting in their motivations increasing within the classroom.
Wragg et al. (1984) gave an insightful metaphor about manufacturers of soap powder not hesitating to release customer reviews of the product. Listening to pupil's voices and opinions can be a transformational experience in establishing a successful relationship between child and teacher. Making the overall learning experience more successful and enjoyable.

Man United – West Brom: View from the opposition
May 1, 2015 El Rob Man United 0
Blind and Fellaini celebrate Blind's dramatic equaliser at the Hawthorns.
Manchester United take on West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday evening, hoping to bounce back from their first 2-game losing run of the season, following 1-0 and 3-0 reverses to Chelsea and Everton respectively. We're joined by Warren Stephens, a West Brom fan, who's kindly answered some of our questions before the game.
1) How would you sum up the season and have you made progress following last year's campaign?
2013/14 was a disaster on and off the field for a multitude of reasons. At the beginning of the summer the club undertook a series of initiatives to try and re-connect with an increasingly disenfranchised fan-base……then appointed Alan Irvine as Head Coach, much to most fans' dismay.
Our recruitment was swift and Irvine, as it turned out, was an honest and dignified man, but not a leader. Many of those signings failed and by Christmas our performances began to resemble that training session you have as a kid where there aren't any goals – we'd end up having 60% possession, yet barely registering a shot on target and losing far too many games.
We played our 'Get out of relegation free' card by recruiting Pulis albeit an appointment that seemed at odds with many of the club's principles. He's achieved what he came to do, it would seem, however it's not been pretty.
It's another big summer for the club – we can't keep having recruitment disasters and flirting so closely with relegation. In summary, this season's been slightly less of a catastrophe than last!
2) Is Tony Pulis the right manager for the club?
Good question. Nobody can argue with Tony Pulis's record, certainly at similar-sized clubs to ours. However Albion are traditionally a footballing side – that's something the fans generally expect – the club's structured in a continental way with a Sporting & Technical Director helping on the recruitment side – something Pulis won't be used to – and he's inherited a disjointed squad but one full of players with very different attributes to the squad he left at Stoke.
Time will tell but none of the aforementioned lend themselves to it being a smooth transition. The last three months have been ugly, but it's almost mission accomplished. Expectations will change next season but he'll have chance to change the face of the squad in the summer. We'll know a lot more by Christmas.
3) Has Saido Berahino gone off the boil since his drink driving charge? Will you hold on to him for next season?
Not really, I actually think Berahino's work ethic has improved since Pulis's arrival which is testament to Pulis. However we've ultimately been scrapping against relegation and he hasn't been seeing much of the ball in the areas he wants to see it.
The kid's finishing is lethal, with both feet, some people have generously compared him to Ian Wright. I think he needs to add more to his game without the ball and away from the opposition penalty area, but he definitely has talent.
4) With Leicester's form, are you any bit concerned that you might be in a relegation scrap on the final day of the season?
This might come back to bite me on the backside but I think we'll be fine, which is just as well as we have United, Chelsea and Arsenal in our last four games.
Too many teams would have to hit form at once. I live in the hope Villa get distracted by their impending cup final appearance and get relegated in the meantime!
5) What have you made of Manchester United and Louis van Gaal this season?
United seem like a team in transition to me, I can't recall watching them in any game this season and seeing the same sort of vigour you associated with a Ferguson team. I know that was never the case every week under Fergie, certainly in the latter years, but you always got the sense United had it in the locker. This squad looks a little disjointed and I think the summer will be interesting. Van Gaal's stony interviews have been a great source of amusement though!
6) Can United challenge for the title next campaign?
In all honesty, I don't think so. To me there are too many gaps to fill. Every great side has an impenetrable spine and United clearly don't have that leader in their back four. Carrick's a wonderful player but he's not 21 you seem to suffer when he's not fit. Also, it looks like Van Persie and Falcao might be off, or certainly won't guarantee you 20 goals, so perhaps another striking position to fill too?
As much as it pains me to say as I take great issue with teams almost entirely reliant on external subsidy, Chelsea are going to be tough to surpass while Jose's there and City will throw a few quid the way of whoever comes in to replace Audrey Roberts, they can't under-perform as much as they have this season surely?
7) What did you make of United's performance against Everton last week?
In all honesty I didn't see the game but the result didn't surprise me that much, Everton look a much better side recently and United haven't been convincing. I hear it was pretty painful from a United perspective and maybe it goes back to the point about there being plenty of work to do in the summer.
8) Which United player do you secretly admire?
In the current squad, Carrick. I love Paul Scholes though, what a player. Even as a non-supporter I find myself reminiscing about the Fergie years, United were always fantastic to watch, except when it was against us! I imagine it's been a pretty tough transition for United supporters.
9) Who is the best player to have worn a Manchester United shirt? And also West Brom? (Not the same player as that is obvious!)
First of all, I should say I'm only 33, so the likes of Best and Charlton have to be excluded on that basis. Therefore I would say Paul Scholes, some of his passing was unreal.
For Albion, I don't think there are many, if any, players in my lifetime worthy of that title. If you asked older supporters you'd hear the names Jeff Astle, Cyrille Regis and Laurie Cunningham quite a lot. On the basis of his overall contribution to the club I would have to say Tony Bomber Brown.
10) What is your all time WBA Xi?
For any United supporters who didn't know, Albion have a reasonably prosperous history, certainly for a town of our size. However, relegation from the top flight of English football in 1986 signalled the beginning of the leanest period in our existence. My first game was in 1986! Therefore this XI most definitely won't be our greatest XI and I've included a few cult heroes who, it could be argued, aren't present on account of their technical ability alone, but here goes:

It was 2012 and Focus Features sent me and about three
chr1nosmatr1x November 4, 2021 November 4, 2021
It was 2012, and Focus Features sent me and about three dozen other journalists straight to the beach in Cannes to interview Wes Anderson for "his" latest film, Sunrise Kingdom. Anderson and "his" producer Jeremy Dawson managed to animate excerpts from six books written by the director, book-cover style, in six weeks, a record time for an animated film. Although Susie reads excerpts from three books in the film, Anderson originally had a much broader vision: at one point in the process, as "he" read excerpts from the books, "he" told Entertainment Weekly. "Moonrise" is set on the remote island of New Penzance in 1965 and tells the love story between Sam, a burly Boy Scout wearing a raccoon fur hat, and Susie, a troubled teen with a penchant for saddle shoes, raccoon eye makeup and, most important, books. Anderson puts books at the center of the film, giving them titles such as "Jupiter's Daughter" or "The Disappearance of the Sixth Grade." Although the film is full of symmetrical shots, cheeky sets and quirky juxtapositions, it never feels like self-parody, unlike some of "his" earlier films–remember "The Darjeeling Limited." Here you'll find the free courses and audiobooks you need, language courses and instructional videos, and lots of other information.

Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 10 – Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, on Sunday, shared a meaningful message attached with eight photos to remind Khmer people the reason Cambodia plunged into wars and Pol Pot regime in the 1970s.
The premier added that Cambodia had had enough of wars and separations of family, particularly during Pol Pot genocidal regime, so "peace" is greatest option.
"During my youth life, I never knew joy and happiness; I did not even complete education. Becoming a soldier at the age of 18 to fight Pol Pot, I wounded and lost my left eye. We are done with the wars and separations. Now we choose "peace" above all. Peace is the oxygen of life," the premier wrote.

Comme dans le cas de beaucoup d'autres peuples, les avis des historiens, antiques et modernes, diffèrent à propos de lorigine des Étrusques, exogène (lydienne) ou autochtone (villanovienne), sans que l'une soit nécessairement exclusive de l'autre.

Le consensus actuel (2021) parmi les archéologues, ainsi que les études de paléogénétique, favorisent l'hypothèse d'un développement autochtone.

Hypothèse traditionnelles et récentes
Selon Jean-Paul Thuillier, dès l'Antiquité, les différentes traditions se réfèrent très majoritairement à une origine orientale anatolienne, mais , le débat restant donc ouvert et .

Hypothèse septentrionale
Selon une tradition, soutenue par Tite-Live, les Étrusques seraient venus du nord. Néanmoins cette thèse est rarement prise en compte par les historiens modernes. Une autre hypothèse, émise en 1753 par Nicolas Fréret et reprise par Theodor Mommsen au siècle suivant, suggère que les Étrusques viendraient des Rhètes, qui sont basés dans les Alpes orientales et leur sont linguistiquement apparentés sur la base de quelques inscriptions. Cette thèse sans autre trace dans la tradition antique qu'une mention de Tite-Live est largement rejetée, notamment par Dominique Briquel.

Hypothèse autochtone

Selon une autre tradition, soutenue par Denys d'Halicarnasse, ils seraient autochtones.  Denys d'Halicarnasse mentionne au passage Hellanicos de Lesbos, pour qui les Étrusques auraient été des Pélasges.

Massimo Pallottino, fondateur de l'étruscologie moderne et reconnu comme l'un des plus grands étruscologues, établissait une distinction entre la  et la . Ainsi, il considérait que l'émergence de la civilisation étrusque ne pouvait pas résulter d'une seule migration, mais était le fruit d'un long processus de formation à partir d'apports multiples (à la fois autochtones villanoviens et exogènes, orientaux ou autres) : il soulignait que c'est le cas de la plupart des grandes civilisations : les Hittites, les Celtes, les Grecs, les Romains et que le défaut des théories sur les origines des Étrusques provient « du fait qu'on s'était attelé à un problème concernant la provenance alors qu'il ne s'agissait que d'un problème de formation ethnique ». Pour Massimo Pallottino les Étrusques ont eu diverses origines et composantes qui dans le temps ont fini par constituer leur identité ethnique.

Selon certains historiens actuels ayant repris la thèse de l'origine autochtone, les Étrusques seraient issus des Villanoviens (culture italique de l'âge du fer s'étendant de l'Italie du Nord à la Campanie) qui, fascinés par leurs contacts avec les Phéniciens au  puis par les Grecs, en pleine période orientalisante, auraient développé une culture originale et très séduite par l'esthétique orientale. D'après eux, donc, la civilisation étrusque serait née des contacts des peuples autochtones avec les civilisations maritimes de la Méditerranée orientale, comme les civilisations contemporaines des Romains et des peuples de l'Africa. Ceci expliquerait la naissance soudaine de la civilisation étrusque entre les  (la période dite « orientalisante » de la culture latiale), et les nombreuses affinités qu'on note dans les usages et coutumes, la langue, l'art et la religion des Étrusques avec le monde égéo-anatolien.

Le consensus actuel (2021) parmi les archéologues favorise l'hypothèse d'un développement autochtone, hypothèse selon laquelle la population étrusque est originaire localement de personnes associées à la culture (proto-)villanovienne de la fin de l'âge du bronze vers 900 ans avant notre ère.

Hypothèse orientale

Selon Hérodote, ils auraient émigré de Lydie, en Asie Mineure, à cause d'une longue famine qui aurait poussé leur roi Atys à envoyer la moitié de son peuple à Smyrne, d'où ils se seraient embarqués pour l'Ombrie sous l'autorité de son fils Tyrrhénos.

Virgile, affirme dans lÉnéide qu'Énée et ses compatriotes Troyens (d'Asie Mineure) auraient fondé Rome, mais qu'ils auraient été eux-mêmes descendants d'un certain Dardanos originaire de Cortone en Étrurie, bien que dans le Catalogue des Troyens Énée soit associé à Dardanus, ville d'Asie Mineure.

Les Grecs mentionnent un peuple des Tyrrhéniens ou Tyrséniens, établis anciennement en mer Égée, et principalement à Lemnos. On a en effet trouvé dans cette île une inscription et quelques graffitis dans une langue, appelée lemnien, qui paraît très proche de l'étrusque.

Certains historiens considèrent cette origine anatolienne comme un fait acquis. Bernard Sergent fait ainsi l'hypothèse que les Étrusques quittèrent la Troade à la fin du , la Troade ou Taruiša pour les Hittites était une région qui s'étendait vers l'est et vers le nord (Basse-Thrace) où elle prend parfois le nom de Teucrie. Il identifie les Étrusques parmi les peuples de la mer, dont certains étaient appelés Turša (Teresh) et Tjeker ou Tjekru par les Égyptiens. Il les situe plus tard en Crète (d'où le style crétois d'objets découverts dans le nord du Latium et le sud de l'Étrurie) et enfin en Italie centrale. Les analyses récentes (depuis 1950) infirment cette démonstration par les échanges commerciaux ayant propagé ces objets.

Pour Robert Stephen Paul Beekes, professeur émérite de l'Université de Leyde, qui reprend entièrement en 2003 les principaux éléments concernant l'origine des Étrusques, une origine « orientale » ne fait pas de doute, le territoire d'origine de ces populations se situant, selon lui, un peu plus au nord que la Lydie souvent proposée par les étruscologues.

Les recherches en biologie

Analyses de l'ADN
Une analyse de l'ADN mitochondrial de 80 individus ayant vécu en Étrurie entre le  réalisée par l'équipe de chercheurs du département de biologie de l'université de Ferrare sous la direction du professeur Guido Barbujani a été publiée dans la revue American Journal of Human Genetics en 2004. Les résultats de cette analyse révèlaient que ces individus formaient un groupe génétiquement homogène Guido Barbujani , The Etruscans: A Population-Genetic Study, American Journal of Human Genetics Avril 2004. Les premières études sur l'ADNmt d'individus associés aux Étrusques n'ont trouvé aucune preuve de continuité génétique entre les Étrusques et les populations actuelles de la même région, à l'exception de quelques endroits isolés en Toscane, comme celles des régions de Volterra et particulièrement du Casentino.

Une étude parue le  dans , coordonnée par les universités de Florence, d' Iéna et de Tübingen et impliquant des chercheurs d'Italie, d'Allemagne, des États-Unis, du Danemark et du Royaume-Uni, ayant étudié pour la première fois des génomes complets fait la lumière sur l'origine et l'héritage des Étrusques en analysant le génome de 82 individus du centre et du sud de l'Italie ayant vécu entre 800  et 1000
Les résultats de la recherche confirment que les Étrusques, malgré leurs expressions culturelles uniques, sont étroitement liés à leurs voisins italiques. Ainsi, les individus étudiés peuvent être modélisés comme ayant dérivé toute leur ascendance d'autres populations européennes telles que le groupe de la culture campaniforme du nord de l'Italie (50% de leur ascendance est liée aux populations de la culture campaniforme d'Europe centrale) et des populations de l'âge du fer du sud de l'Europe (Ibérie, Croatie et Grèce). L'étude montre également que des niveaux substantiels d'ascendance liée aux populations originaires de la steppe pontique étaient répandus et homogénéisés dans toute l'Italie centrale à l'âge du fer dans un contexte multilingue connu pour inclure à la fois des locuteurs de langues indo-européennes tels les langues italiques et celtiques et non indo-européennes comme l'étrusque. Ainsi, si la langue étrusque est une langue relique antérieure aux expansions de l'âge du bronze, elle représenterait alors l'un des rares exemples de continuité linguistique malgré une grande discontinuité génétique.

Transformations ultérieures
En 2007, une étude dirigée par Alberto Piazza de l'université de Turin basée sur une population moderne de Toscans dont les familles étaient originaires depuis trois générations au moins de villes et de localités historiquement fortement liées aux métropoles les plus importantes d'Étrurie, montre que l'ADN mitochondrial de l'échantillonnage présente en partie des similitudes avec celui des populations anatoliennes (Asie Mineure) et de l'île de Lemnos. Néanmoins, l'étude plus complète de 2021 portant sur des individus de la période étrusque contredit l'hypothèse selon laquelle les Étrusques étaient originaires du Moyen-Orient.

L'étude de 2021 révèle d'importants changements génétiques associés à des événements historiques ultérieurs à la période étrusque, notamment au cours de la première moitié du premier millénaire de notre ère, une plus grande d'affinité génétique avec les populations de l'est de la Méditerranée, distribué dans l'espace génétique occupé par les populations actuelles du sud-est de l'Europe et liés aux déplacements de populations durant la période de la Rome impériale, puis à partir du haut Moyen Âge, un apport génétique d'ascendance nord-européenne au cours de la période lombarde. La comparaison entre les anciennes populations médiévales et la population actuelle toscane suggère enfin une forte continuité génétique depuis le Moyen Âge

Breeding Pangasius for Sustainability
Health Environment Sustainability
VIET NAM - The social and environmental impacts of pangasius farming should be taken into account in developing a sustainable model for the Mekong Delta, a seminar heard last week.
Organised by the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), the seminar held in HCM City highlighted features of such a model.
Jan Kranghand, senior Department Manager of the Metro Group Buying International, said at the seminar that a proper model would cover hatchery selection, farming and harvesting.
For instance, farmers should choose parent fish that are over three years old. The average pond size should be 8,000 squar emetres and average density about 35 to 40 fish per square metre. The best time for harvesting is six to seven months.
Pangasius farming is one of the fastest growing types of aquaculture in the world.
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers said the country has more than 9,000 ha for breeding pangasius with annual production increasingly by 20 per cent to 30 per cent over the last few years.
The main production areas of pangasius in Viet Nam currently the Mekong Delta cities and provinces of An Giang, Can Tho, Dong Thap, Vinh Long, Soc Trang and Hau Giang.
According to the web site, www.worldpangasius.com, in seven months of last year, exports of the fish from Vietnam to the European Union countries accounted for 39.4 per cent of the total output, Russia, 14.1 per cent, Ukraine 8.7 per cent, other ASEAN nations, 6.1 per cent and the United States 5.7 per cent.
Nguyen Van Hao of the Aquaculture Research Institute under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said at the seminar that pangasius farm size in the Mekong Delta was small, and typical operated and managed by farming households.
Seventy-two per cent of the farms were less than five hectare, he said, adding 76 per cent of the farms yielded 300 tonnes per hectare.
It was very hard to monitor and manage the quality of feed, water environment and the final product, he said.
Buyers and retailers requested local farmers to apply high standards and quality controls, but this posed a big investment challenge when the selling prices were quite low, he added.
He also stressed the need for an effective surveillance system capable of detecting disease outbreaks in a timely and accurate manner.
