Rep. Ilhan Omar Urges Biden to Increase Refugee Admissions Cap
August 30, 2021 August 29, 2021 Minnesota Sun Staff
Rep. Ilhan Omar has joined a group of Democrats in urging President Joe Biden to increase the refugee admissions cap to 200,000 for the next fiscal year to meet the "massive humanitarian need" in Afghanistan.
With the Taliban now in control of the country, the U.S. Department of Defense could house as many as 30,000 Afghan refugees at military bases across America, including Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. That figure alone is nearly three times the number of refugees who were admitted to the U.S. last year under President Donald Trump.
President Biden revised the annual refugee admissions cap in May to 62,500 for the 2021 fiscal year, up from the "historically low number" of 15,000 set by the Trump administration. Biden said his goal is to increase that figure again to 125,000 for the next fiscal year.

Morski pajki so tudi družina rakovic.

Nogači ali morski pajki (znanstveno ime Pycnogonida) so majhen razred v morju živečih pipalkarjev, v katerega uvrščamo en sam red, Pantopoda, vanj pa približno tisoč danes znanih vrst. Zaradi neopaznosti jih večina ljudi ne pozna, a so pogosti prebivalci obalnih območij številnih svetovnih morij, predvsem Karibskega in Sredozemskega morja ter Arktičnega in Antarktičnega oceana.

Nogače uvrščajo med pipalkarje na podlagi zgradbe različnih organskih sistemov (predvsem živčevja) in prisotnosti pipalk, vendar je njihova zunanja telesna zgradba tako nenavadna, da je taksonomski položaj znotraj skupine še povsem nejasen. Po mnenju nekaterih avtorjev pa predstavljajo popolnoma ločen takson, ki se je zgolj razvil iz istega skupnega prednika kot pipalkarji.

Telesna zgradba

Večinoma so to drobne živali, dolge med enim in 10 milimetrov, le vrste mrzlih morij in globokomorske so lahko večje - največji predstavniki imajo razpon nog več deset centimetrov. Telo je sestavljeno iz jasno ločenih členov, ki so vsi del glavoprsja; zadek je zreduciran na štrcelj na hrbtni strani trupa, ki se zaključi z zadnjikom. Prvi del glavoprsja je glava, ki nosi par drobnih pipalk, par pedipalpov in posebnost nogačev, dodaten par nožic - oviforov. Na sprednjem delu je glava podaljšana v rilček (proboscis) z usti, v sredini pa so na izbolklini na zgornji strani štiri očesa. Pipalke so kratke in škarjaste, pri predstavnikih, ki imajo bolje razvit rilček, lahko tudi manjkajo. Pedipalpi so daljši in podobni nogam, poleg čutilne lahko imajo še vlogo pri prehranjevanju ter čiščenju. Ovifora (»jajcenosca«) sta par drobnih okončin tik ob začetku trupa, ki ju samci uporabljajo za prenašanje jajčec. Pri samicah lahko sodelujeta pri čiščenju ali povsem manjkata.

Nenavaden je tudi preostanek glavoprsja - trup. Ta je razdeljen v štiri člene, od katerih je prvi zraščen z glavo (navidez so tako trije). Vsak od njih ima par močnih in dolgih stranskih izrastkov, ki so lahko daljši kot je člen širok. Iz teh izrastkov izraščajo noge. Te so lahko daljše in tudi debelejše od trupa. Nekateri predstavniki nogačev imajo iz neznanega razloga število nog povečano na pet ali šest parov.

Večino notranjosti telesa zavzemajo obsežna prebavila. Slepi odrastki črevesa segajo celo v noge skoraj do njihovih konic. Krvožilje je odprto, hemolimfo poganja omišičena cev (»srce«) na hrbtni strani trupa. Posebnih dihal in izločal nimajo. Tudi spolovila se odpirajo na bazalnih členih nog.

Življenjski krog
Spola se razlikujeta po razvitosti ovifor (samice imajo slabše razvite ali jih sploh nimajo). Spolna žleza je pri obeh spolih neparna in se odpira z več odprtinami na začetnih členih nog. Pri oplojenih samicah so noge vidno nabrekle zaradi jajčec. Parjenja številnih vrst ni opazoval še nihče, bolje raziskane vrste pa imajo zunanjo oploditev - samec med parjenjem bodisi visi pod samico tako, da se stikata s trebušnim delom telesa, bodisi stoji nad njo in oplaja jajčeca medtem ko jih ona izloča. Potem jih zbere s svojimi ovifori in z izločki posebnih žlez zlepi v dve kroglici. Ti kroglici potem drži z ovifori in jih prenaša okrog dokler se ne izležejo ličinke.

Pravkar izlegle ličinke - »protonimfoni« - imajo tri pare okončin: pipalke, pedipalpe in ovifore. Z levitvami nato pridobivajo člene z nogami. Pri nekaterih vrstah jih še nekaj časa varuje samec, pri drugih pa se razvijajo samostojno.

Ekologija
Vsi predstavniki so morski; večina prebiva na morskem dnu, nekateri pa lahko tudi plavajo z zamahovanjem nog. Večina je plenilskih, prehranjujejo se s hidroidi, koralami, mahovnjaki, manjšimi mnogoščetinci in spužvami. Nekateri so zajedavski, ti večinoma zajedajo na mehkužcih, drugi pa so rastlinojedi ali se prehranjujejo z organskim drobirjem (so detritivori).

The HI96728 Nitrate Portable Photometer combines accuracy and ease of use in an ergonomic, portable design. A user can accurately determine the concentration of nitrate as nitrogen in samples within a 0.0 to 30.0 mg/L (ppm) range using the HI93728-01 ready made reagents. The HI96728 offers many advanced features including the exclusive CAL Check™ function used for performance verification and calibration of the meter.
The HI96728 portable photometer is for the measurement of nitrate as nitrogen. Hanna's portable photometers feature an advanced optical system; the combination of a special tungsten lamp, a narrow band interference filter, and silicon photodetector ensure accurate photometric readings every time. The Hanna exclusive CAL Check™ feature utilizes ready-made, NIST traceable standards to verify both meter validation and calibration. The exclusive cuvette locking system ensures that the cuvette is inserted into the measurement cell in the same position every time to maintain a consistent path length.
CAL Check™ - Allows for performance verification and calibration of the meter using NIST traceable standards.
Built in timer - Display of time remaining before a measurement is taken. Ensures that all readings are taken at the appropriate reaction intervals for the test being performed.
Error messages - Messages on display alerting to problems including no cap, high zero, and standard to low.
Cooling lamp indicator - To maintain the desirable wavelength to be used for absorbance it is necessary to ensure component are not overheated from the heat generated by the tungsten lamp. Each photometer is designed to allow a minimal amount of time for components to cool. The cooling lamp indicator is displayed prior to a reading being taken.
Nitrogen is abundant in the Earth's atmosphere and is present in water in the form of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia. Plants use nitrogen as a nutrient to build proteins by tracking it in through their root system. Nitrate is formed in water mainly through rainfall, decomposition of organic matter, and runoff from manmade pollutants such as sewage waste and fertilizers. Almost all surface waters have a measurable level of nitrate, and a moderate amount is considered beneficial. Large amounts of nitrate, however, can lead to eutrophication which may result in decreased levels of dissolved oxygen in the water.
The HI96728 uses an adaptation of the cadmium reduction method to measure nitrate concentrations of less than 30.0 mg/L (ppm) as nitrogen. When the reagent is added to samples containing nitrate, the sample will turn an amber hue; the greater the concentration, the deeper the color. The associated color change is then colorimetrically analyzed according to the Beer-Lambert Law. This principle states that light is absorbed by a complementary color, and the emitted radiation is dependent upon concentration. For nitrate determination, a narrow band interference filter at 525 nm (green) allows only green light to be detected by the silicon photodetector and omits all other visible light emitted from the tungsten lamp. As the change in color of the reacted sample increases, absorbance of the specific wavelength of light also increases, while transmittance decreases.

Share Berwind Lake Wildlife Management Area
Berwind Lake Wildlife Management Area is in southern McDowell County, about 20 miles from Welch. Operated by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, Berwind is managed primarily for forest game including turkey, deer, squirrel, raccoon, and grouse. Extensive day-use recreational facilities, such as hiking trails, picnicking facilities, and a swimming pool, have been available in the past. In January 2016, budget cuts closed facilities not associated with fishing and hunting.
Berwind Lake WMA began in 1959 when the Conservation Commission (now Division of Natural Resources) opened a 20-acre lake on War Creek to public fishing. The lake remains a focal point and provides excellent fishing for warm-water species such as large-mouth bass, channel catfish, and bluegill. Trout are stocked monthly from February through May, and adult channel catfish are stocked in June of each year. In 1974, approximately 18,000 acres of the rugged mountain terrain surrounding the lake were leased by the state from the Berwind Land Company. The leased land was used for wildlife management and to provide hunting opportunities for southern West Virginia hunters. However, the lease expired in 2008, and the WMA now consists of 93 acres surrounding the lake.

Review: Culture and the Death of God
Terry Eagleton, Culture and the Death of God, Yale University Press, New Haven and London 2014, pgs. 208 $19.99 Hardcover ISBN 978-0-300-20399-8
Terry Eagleton made his name in British criticism as the principal (and often only) high profile revolutionary socialist in literary scholarship. However, as postmodernity exerted its toll upon the intellectual theorist, Eagleton seemed increasingly dissatisfied with the scope and method of much postmodern theory, declaring back in 2004 with his book After Theory that much critical theory had little to say of things like morality, ethics and the divine. Whilst many questioned his commitment to orthodox Marxist materialism, this renewed interest in theology has given fresh impetus to his writing and helped him emerge as still one of the most vital thinkers in terms of Marxism, culture and theology.
His latest work mixes his usual stylistic verve and intellectual fireworks with a deep interest in the interaction between culture and faith. Through just over 200 pages Eagleton races through centuries on intellectual history, deploying a dizzying array of thinkers and philosophers with great skill and insight.
The central thesis of Culture and The Death of God is a very simple one. For all of the modern age's determination to kill off God, the concept of the deity just won't stay buried. It seemed for a time that we finally had the courage of Nietzsche and accepted the disappearance of God. The result being that an increasingly materialistic postmodern culture had replaced dogma with scientific naturalism and the transformative power of social justice had replaced Christian evangelism. According to Eagleton, the postmodern age was the first genuinely atheistic one, until the traumatic events of Sept 11th 2001. Since then religious belief has re-emerged – violent, passionate and springing up from the souks of Damascus and the slums of Latin America to the megachurches of the USA. God, it seems, is not so willing to accept the irrelevance we have attempted to give him. As Eagleton expresses it, Western capitalism has "managed to help spawn not only secularism, but also fundamentalism, a most creditable form of dialectics" (198).
In the days of pre-modernity, religion (particularly, for Eagleton, Roman Catholicism) performed the unique function of "uniting theory and practise, elite and populace, spirit and senses" (xi) like nothing else. The radical Enlightenment with a well-honed philosophical edge and a political iconoclasm sought to depose the deity as the ultimate bedrock of thought and practise and replace it with reason. However, in a truly secular society it turned out that the idea of God was not easily laid to rest. Reason was too much of a cerebral, rarefied and irreverent affair to inspire the souls of men.
Following a brisk overview of the Enlightenment assault on religion–"at root a political rather than theological affair"–Eagleton reserves his sharpest ire for those who disdained personal faith while maintaining its importance for the lower classes – the "I may not believe, but it is politically expedient that you do so" line of intellectual argumentation (12). The high-minded Matthew Arnold (and his modern counter-part Alain de Botton), come in for particular vitriol for this kind of mealy-mouthed platitudinous thinking. Espousing a gentrified vision of Christianity, Arnold and de Botton are rightly upbraided for their theological illiteracy and political indifference to vast swathes of people. Nietzsche, by contrast, is seen as a figure to be admired – a philosopher who took seriously the problem of God's absence and seemed to fully understand the consequences of his most blasphemous declaration of God's demise. Yet even the Nietzschean Ubermensch cannot escape the idea of a transcendental otherness and thus, like the Idealist's notion of Geist or the Romantic sublime, is just another version of "counterfeit theology."
If it is Nietzsche who comes closest to an authentic atheism, it is Marx that Eagleton credits with actually arriving there. In his historical materialism people are rendered free, but not transcendent and thus Marx avoids the trap of making man another surrogate for God – the same trap into which the ingenious Nietzsche fell.
It's in the figure of Marx that the book can be contextualised in Eagleton's work and thought over the last fifty years. In the wake of the second Vatican Council of the 1960s Eagleton (and some other Cambridge intellectuals) were responsible in large part for the formation of the British Catholic New Left. In his books The New Left Church (1966) and The Body as Language: Towards A New Left Theology (1970) Eagleton passionately argued that Christian theology could only be re-energised by an encounter with the revolutionary energies of Marxism. Whilst he left Catholicism and focused his attention upon literary theory, Eagleton arguably ranks among the great liberation theologians of the modern age.
As the 2000s wore on Eagleton has increasingly returned to his earlier Catholic beliefs. Alongside Trouble with Strangers: A Study in Ethics (2008) and Reason, Faith and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate (2009), Culture and the Death of God forms the third part of a fascinating trilogy of theo-philosophical writings. We have categorically failed to replace the concept of the divine and thus Eagleton concludes with a call to take it seriously. Christianity, with its focus on the crucified body, a radical solidarity with the poor, the dispossessed and disenfranchised does not simply add supernatural support to a set of ethics but rather offers a radical dissolution of our life towards a compassionate and just rebirth. The radical left as a whole is now full of these reluctant Christians, with thinkers as diverse as Slavoj Zizek, Jacques Derrida, Alain Badiou and Giorgio Agamben all co-opting the language and practise of theology. It seems that the secular intellectual has given up on replacing God, aiming instead to work with him towards an emancipatory politics outside of capitalist control. It is this distinct and hopeful possibility of such a radically new configuration of faith, culture and politics with which Eagleton concludes.

After 60 years working for the Milsom family, chef Terry Barber has finally hung up his chef whites and retired from the kitchen.
Terry started working for the family as a schoolboy when he was just 13; through his long and varied career he eventually became Executive Head Chef at Le Talbooth. This meant that not only was Terry responsible for the main restaurant kitchen but also all the outside parties, including cooking for the Queen on two occasions when she visited Colchester. A firm favourite with all the restaurant customers, Terry has cooked for generations of guests at their weddings and family celebrations, many of whom have become personal friends over the years.
Paul Milsom, Managing Director of Milsom Hotels & Restaurants and whose father, the late Gerald Milsom first employed Terry in 1954 commented 'Terry has had the most incredible cooking relationship with our family and business. Firstly he worked for my grandparents at the Dedham Vale Hotel and then with my father when it became the famous Terrace Restaurant. Terry then transferred to Le Talbooth in 1994 and worked with me when he became head chef.

Why do we ignore the most blatant transfer of money from the poor to the rich?
By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 2nd July 2013.
It's the silence that puzzles me. Last week, the Chancellor stood up in parliament to announce that benefits for the very poor would be cut yet again(1). On the same day, in Luxembourg, our government battled to maintain benefits for the very rich. It won. As a result, some of the richest people in Britain will each continue to receive millions of pounds in income support from taxpayers.
There has been not a whimper of protest. The Guardian hasn't mentioned it. UK Uncut is silent. So – at the other end of the spectrum – is the UK Independence Party.
I'm talking about the most blatant transfer of money from the poor to the rich that has occurred in the era of universal suffrage. Farm subsidies. The main subsidy – the single farm payment – is doled out by the hectare. The more you own or rent, the more money you receive.
Since 1999, more progressive European nations have been trying to limit the amount of public money a farmer can capture under the Common Agricultural Policy(2). It looked as if, this year, they might at last succeed. But two governments in particular resisted, throughout the negotiations that ended last week: those resolute champions of the free market, Germany and the United Kingdom(3,4,5). Thanks to their lobbying, any decision has yet again been deferred(6).
There were two proposals for limiting handouts to the super-rich, known as capping and degressivity. Capping means that no one should receive more than a certain amount: the proposed limit was €300,000 a year(7). Degressivity means that, beyond a certain point, the rate received per hectare begins to fall. This was supposed to have kicked in at €150,000(8). The UK's environment secretary, Owen Paterson, knocked both proposals down.
When our government says "we must help the farmers", it means "we must help the 0.1%". Most of the land here is owned by exceedingly wealthy people.
Some of them are millionaires from elsewhere: sheikhs, oligarchs and mining magnates who own vast estates in this country. Though they might pay no taxes in the UK, they receive millions in farm subsidies. They are the world's most successful benefit tourists. Yet, amid the manufactured terror of immigrants living off British welfare payments, we scarcely hear a word raised against them.
The minister responsible for cutting income support for the poor, Iain Duncan Smith, lives on an estate owned by his wife's family. Over the past ten years, it has received €1.5m in income support from taxpayers(9). How much more obvious do these double standards have to be before we begin to notice?
Thanks in large part to subsidies, the value of farmland in the UK has tripled in ten years(10): it has risen faster than almost any other speculative asset. Farmers are exempted from inheritance tax and capital gains tax. They can build, without planning permission, structures which lesser mortals would be forbidden to erect, boosting both their capital and income. And they have a guaranteed income from the state. Yet all we hear from their leaders is one long whinge(10).
I have yet to detect a word of gratitude from the National Farmers' Union to the hard-pressed taxpayers who keep its members in such style. The NFU, dominated by the biggest landowners, has a peculiar genius for bringing out the violins. It pushes forward small, struggling hill farmers. The real beneficiaries of its policies are the arable barons hiding behind them.
An uncapped subsidy system damages the interests of small farmers. It reinforces the economies of scale enjoyed by the biggest landlords, helping them to drive the small producers out of business. A fair cap (say €30,000) would help small farmers compete with the big ones.
So here's the question: why do we keep deferring to Big Farmer? Why do its sob stories go unchallenged? Why is this spectacular feudal boondoggle tolerated in the 21st Century?
Here are three possible explanations. A high proportion of the books aimed at very young children are about farm animals. There is usually one family of every kind of animal, and they live in harmony with each other and the rosy-cheeked farmer. Understandably, slaughter, butchery, castration, separation, crates and cages, pesticides and slurry never feature. The petting farms which have sprung up around Britain reify and reinforce this fantasy. Perhaps these books unintentionally implant, at the very onset of consciousness, a deep, unquestioned faith in the virtues of the farm economy(11).
Perhaps too, after being brutally evicted from the land through centuries of enclosure, we have learnt not to go there, even in our minds. To engage in this question feels like trespass, though we have handed over so much of our money that we could have bought all the land in Britain several times over. Perhaps we also suffer from a cultural cringe towards people who make their living from the land and the sea, seeing their lives – however rich and cossetted they are – as somehow authentic while ours feel artificial.
Whatever the reason may be, it's time we overcame these inhibitions and confronted this unembarrassed robbery of the poor by the rich. The current structure of farm subsidies epitomises the British government's defining project: capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich.

The CAP should encourage greater competitiveness, including by consolidation, which capping would discourage."
4. The BBC reported last week that the UK and Germany crushed the capping proposal: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22986953
5. On July 1st 2013, Defra confirmed to me in a phone call that it has been lobbying to ensure that any capping or degressivity remain voluntary: in other words, if they are applied at all, the UK and other nations will be able to opt out of them.

Gordon's Guesstimate: February Jobs Report
Each month, AAF's Director of Fiscal Policy Gordon Gray predicts the results of the monthly employment survey. This month, Gray writes:
This guesstimator is assuming a 140,000 payroll gain, and an increase in the U-3 to 6.4 percent, while workers, will see a 5-cent gain in hourly earnings.
See below for his full analysis.
If tomorrow morning's job's numbers particularly disappoint, we can imagine we will hear that it proves "more" government aid is needed. If the employment figures surprise to the upside, we will no doubt hear from some that good times are here again and the COVID-19 package wending its way through Congress is unnecessary. That take will invite, according to Washington's Third Law of Messaging, an equal and opposite reaction among the American Rescue Plan's (ARP) advocates. Fair enough. As a political matter, the commitments made by Congress and the Biden Administration in the ARP are simply too great to abandon, and no single-months' sunny jobs news is going to change that – there will be a bill signing in a matter of weeks. Again, fair enough – you get to do that when you win elections. A review of the major indicators since last month's jobs report suggests the employment report may offer this town's criers equal opportunity.
When January's jobs figures came in virtually flat across the board, the figures were in substance worse than the prior month's, which showed net payroll losses. The reason? In the presence of the virus and cold weather, leisure and hospitality employment was going to take a severe hit, and December proved that out – leaving over half a million waiters, chefs, bartenders, managers, musicians, and others who work while the rest of America plays – out of a job.
The policy response has been to recognize the unique circumstances of these job losses and provide relief – in the form of robust income support through plussed-up unemployment insurance, rebates, and other assistance. The response has been appropriately substantial. But set against the steep decline in leisure and hospitality, the jobs figures in December were strong in just about every other sector. That's the late-pandemic labor market you'd "want" to see. You have a policy regime to support the dislocated in industries disproportionately affected by the pandemic while industries that are less affected by the pandemic recover.
January was a different story. It was just flat. To be sure, some of the key support policies were allowed to lapse, and that no doubt had a cost, but looking forward, we should be humble about what the limit of federal policies can achieve. Separate and apart from the composition and scale of the ARP, which is worth reconsidering, there is simply some of this recovery that will take time. Yet another round of checks will not reopen your local bar or movie theater. Until people are convinced commerce is safe, they'll probably avoid it, no matter what their governor says. Even an exquisitely designed relief package must contend with the practical realities of the virus.
The sweep of the economic indicators since January have been mixed to positive. The ISM service employment index gave up 2.5 percentage points but was coming off of 12-month peak and remains expansionary, while unemployment claims have declined modestly. This guesstimator is assuming a 140,000 payroll gain, and an increase in the U-3 to 6.4 percent, while workers, will see a 5-cent gain in hourly earnings.

IMF applauds Zim govt for fiscal prudence
IMF Logo
By New Ziana On Dec 16, 2022
Harare (New Ziana) – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has applauded efforts by the Zimbabwe government to tame inflation and stabilise the foreign exchange market and urged sustained use of appropriate policies to maintain the trend.
Through a combination of monetary and fiscal policy instruments, the government managed to douse an inflation hurricane that had swirled in the country earlier this year.
For example, gold coins introduced by the central bank sucked out billions of dollars from the market which could have otherwise ended up on the parallel currency market, thereby driving up inflation.
It is such efforts that have won the government plaudits from the IMF.
In an end of visit report, team leader Dhaneshwar Ghura said annual inflation, which had increased to 285 percent in August 2022, was decelerating.
"Currency and price pressures, which emerged earlier this year largely owing to a spike in broad money growth and an official exchange rate misaligned with market fundamentals, are subsiding," he said.
"The IMF mission notes the authorities' efforts to stabilize the local foreign exchange market and lower inflation. In this regard, the swift tightening of monetary policy along with greater official exchange rate flexibility and a prudent fiscal stance are policies in the right direction and have contributed to a narrowing of the premium in the parallel foreign exchange market.
"In addition, the authorities have identified large payments to suppliers, the result of over-invoicing, as a source of pressures on the parallel market and in response have launched value-for-money audits and introduced measures to strengthen procurement regulations."
Ghura said multiple external and internal shocks continued to weigh on Zimbabwe's growth prospects, and sustained government efforts to deal with these should see the country through as was the case last year.
He said the government's swift response to the Covid-19 pandemic, supporting businesses, livelihoods, and the health sector, resulted in robust growth of 8.5 percent in 2021, underscoring the economy's resilience.
"Renewed domestic and external shocks (inflation surge, erratic rainfall, electricity shortages, and Russia's war in Ukraine) are, however, adversely affecting economic and social conditions. Real GDP growth is thus expected to decline to about 3.5 percent in 2022," he said.
Finance and Economic Development Minister, Mthuli Ncube expects the country's economy to grow by 4 percent this year, down from 4.6 percent earlier predicted, due to strong global and domestic headwinds the economy has had to navigate in the course of the year.
But the downward revision still remains one of the strongest GDP growth rates in the world this year, a period global economies have faced severe challenges ranging from sharp commodity price increases in the aftermath of the Russia-Ukraine war, escalating inflation and interest rates in the developed world, and difficulties countries have generally faced globally to nurse economies back to health, post-Covid 19.
In advanced economies, for example, GDP growth is projected to slow down to 2.4 percent this year, down from 5.2 percent last year, while in the sub-Saharan region, this is forecast to drop to 3.6 percent, from 4.7 percent in 2021.

This is a large tsuba from the Kyo-Shoami school. It is carved in a very delicate yet strong design. It measures 3 1/4 inches by 3 3/16 inches. It comes with NBTHK Hozon papers that attest to its quality and attribution.


I have visited a lot of natural history museums and this - the American Museum of Natural History - is possibly the best. Full of the most amazing dioramas dating back to the 1920s; incredible attention has been paid to the backgrounds with skilled taxidermy framed by heavy wood and metal plaques, I was in total awe. I have to admit, the American Museum of Natural History was one of the main reasons I wanted to visit New York and it totally didn't disappoint.
All of these photos are really striking and interesting to look at. Their is something so unsettling about taxidermy to me, it really does take me a moment to realise they're not alive.
I've lost track of how many times I visited the Swedish Museum of Natural History as a child. I absolutely loved it. But the American one looks about ten times more amazing. Definitely another reason to go to New York!
uau, the pictures look amazing! Must go to NYC.
I can't wait to visit NYC for the first time! This museum looks amazing and, moreover, I love vising museums.
So much talent in those displays, I would love to visit this museum one day. You've captured it nicely!
i'm not the jealous type ...but ugh i am jealous! haha. this looks so amazing. would absolutely love to go one day if i ever get the chance to.
Great Pictures.I love to see the amazing picture of American Natural Museum.If i have time I wish to visit the Museum in future.
I hate stuffed animals and taxidermy (it really freaks me out) but even I've got to admit these photos are beautiful.
i loved the natural history museum! although i have to say my favourite part of the whole place is the planetarium and the rose centre for earth and space. it was a great balance between general knowledge and actually being really informative and i went to a couple of presentations in the planetarium while i was in NY and i swear if i lived there i would go to every one!
It does indeed look amazing. Your pictures are awesome as well, and that makes it even more appealing!
It's so amazing, right? I fell in love with this museum before I even visited it.
Haha, oh but it's so worth a visit!
I kind of understand, I mean, I LOVE taxidermy but I know of a few people who are repulsed by it.
It was every bit as magical as I expected it to be.
Thank you - I hope you get to visit sometime.
I hope you manage to visit NYC and the American History Museum -it's amazing!
The Helsinki Natural History Museum is AMAZING but this NYC one tops them all - so beautiful.
These taxidermy animals were perfect, such great examples. They really did look like live animals.
Wow! I had no idea that taxidermy could look this amazing, at first I thought these were an artists rendering or a photorealistic painting before I read your post. I had no idea this was even a place and I now I think I'll go visit.
This is my favorite museum! Went to a lot growing up, and also spent a few years volunteering/interning there. It was cool to feel like I was a part of it!


The Man'yōshū refers to approximately 160 types of plants in approximately 1500 of its poems. Some plants – for example, the plum (ume), cherry (sakura) or pine (matsu) – are used many times, either as the topics of poems, or as sources of image and allusion; others appear only in single poems. While in many cases there is a broad consensus about which plant the Man'yō name refers to, for others, there are a number of competing theories, with the result that a single Man'yō reference could be identified as different plants by different sources. This means, of course, that one can find different plants identified with the same Man'yō name in different Man'yō gardens, depending upon the sources which the individual garden has relied to make its selections.
Nakane, Mieko (2001) Man'yō shokubutsuka no kanshō ('An Appreciation of the Plant Poems of the Man'yōshū').
Kishita, Takeshi (2010) Man'yō shokubutsu bunkashi ('An Account of Man'yō Plants').
The entries for each plant are still in progress – all have the plant's Man'yō name, transcribed as it would have been pronounced in Man'yō times; the characters used to write it; the modern Japanese name(s) of the plant; its common English name(s) where one exists; its scientific name; its seasonal association (where there is one); and the number of poems in the anthology in which the plant is mentioned – for those poems for which a translation is available on WakaPoetry.net, there are also links to these. For some plants there are also brief indications of its natural distribution in Japan, or original origin. Where there are multiple theories of which plant the Man'yōshū is referring to, the alternative possibilities are also listed, although the first given should be understood as the most widely accepted.
The remainder of the entries only have a placeholder at present, but will be completed as soon as possible.

The Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) today announced a new partnership designed to drive the development of low-carbon finance that can help address sustainability and climate challenges.
Geneva/London, 29 February 2016: The organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreeing to work together on the development of the corporate green bond market. Green bonds are used to fund projects with a positive environmental or climate benefit, however the corporate green bond market is still relatively small. In 2015, corporates issued USD 13.6 billion compared to overall green bond issuance during the year of approximately USD 41.8 billion.
The participation of the finance sector is a critical element of accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. New financial instruments are needed in order to mobilize the capital that will implement low-carbon and climate-resilient solutions at scale, and within the timeframe set by the Paris Agreement.
Since 2007 the overall green bond market has demonstrated a compound annual growth rate of 50%, proving that it is an efficient capital intermediary between green/climate projects and investors. WBCSD and CBI believe that the corporate market will gain further scale once the benefits of green bonds are better understood and the lower financing costs outweigh verification and reporting efforts.
In addition, developing robust, liquid and transparent green bond markets will help to drive down the cost of capital for low-carbon projects across both established and emerging economies.

Urgent : Philippines convicts Imelda Marcos of graft
This file photo taken November 15, 1985 shows Philippines' President Ferdinand Marcos (L) and his wife Imelda (R) appearing before college students undergoing a two-year compulsory military training in Manila.//AFP
Manila - Imelda Marcos was found guilty of corruption on Friday and ordered arrested in a rare conviction for the former Philippine first lady accused with her late dictator husband of embezzling billions of dollars from state coffers.
However, 89-year-old Marcos can appeal the ruling and post bail, which would allow her to remain free while the case grinds through the country's notoriously slow justice system.
The verdict from the anti-graft Sandiganbayan court orders her to serve a minimum of six years behind bars over charges the Marcoses funnelled roughly $200 million through Swiss foundations decades ago.
Ferdinand Marcos, who along with cronies was accused of pilfering $10 billion from the Philippines, fled with his family to the US after a people's uprising ended his 20-year rule in 1986.
Marcos died in 1989 while still in exile. But his heirs later returned to Manila and have since staged a political comeback. Imelda Marcos is currently a congresswoman.
As a government official in the Marcos administration, Imelda was barred by law from having any financial interest from the Swiss foundations, said the ruling.
"The couple opened all those accounts in Switzerland, and they used pseudonyms to hide their ownership. The president chose William Saunders and Imelda Marcos used Jane Ryan," special prosecutor Ryan Quilala told reporters.
Her lawyers could not be reached, while a press aide told AFP there was no immediate comment.
Court officials said Marcos would be able to avoid incarceration by posting an as yet undetermined bail and has the right to appeal her conviction to the nation's highest legal authority, the Supreme Court.
The body has previously undone a case against Imelda, overturning a 24 year jail sentence in 1993 on graft charges. She ran for congress and won while her appeal was underway.
The family's notoriety stems back to Ferdinand Marcos declaring martial law in 1972. That allowed him to shutter the legislature, muzzle the free press and jail or kill those who dared to oppose his dictatorship.
In the decades since Marcos's ouster the effort to recover the pilfered money has been halting and uneven.
However, the Philippine Supreme Court in 2003 ordered $680 million in funds stashed by the Marcoses in Swiss banks handed to the government.
The funds had earlier been turned over by the Swiss judiciary after concluding that the funds were stolen from the Manila government.
The younger generation of Marcoses have led high-profile careers, despite the dark past associated with their name.
Imelda and Ferdinand's daughter Imee Marcos, is the governor of the family's northern stronghold of Ilocos Norte province and helped bankroll the 2016 election campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte, according to him.
Imelda's son, also named Ferdinand, almost won the separate election for vice president that year.
He has put the count under protest and hopes to run for president after Duterte's term ends in mid-2022.

A STUNNING READ FOR KIDS from BRITAINS ANSWER TO THE GRIMM BROTHERS!
IN THIS volume you will find an enchanted watch, the golden blackbird, Jorinde and Joringel, the shoes of swiftness, that were worn later by Jack the Giant-Killer and perennial favourites like the three little pigs. These fairy tales are the oldest stories in the world. They were first made by men, who were childlike, for their own amusement, and so they amuse children still. While these stories were made to amuse, they also teach goodness, unselfishness, courage and morals.
This was meant to be the third and last of Andrew Langs Fairy Books of many colours. Fortunately for us it wasnt. First there was the Blue Fairy Book; then when Victorian children asked for more, the Red Fairy Book; and, when they wanted more still, the Green Fairy Book was put together. The stories in all the books are borrowed from many countries; France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Scotland, England and even one rare Chinese tale. However much these nations differ over policy and ideology, all their children agree to liking fairy tales.
As we grow up, we dismiss or forget the fairy tales of our youth and the lessons they taught. But grandparents have long memories and the responsibility falls on them to tell them to their grandchildren: and when they, in their turn, become grandparents, they remember them, and tell them also. In this way these tales are older than reading and writing, far older than printing.
The oldest fairy tales ever written down were written down in Egypt, in about Joseph's time, nearly three thousand six hundred years ago. Other fairy stories Homer knew, in Greece, nearly three thousand years ago, and he made them all up into a poem, the Odyssey, which all children should read some day.

Excerpt from THE GREEN FAIRY BOOK - Andrew Lang
THE MAGIC SWAN
There were once upon a time three brothers, of whom the eldest was called Jacob, the second Frederick, and the youngest Peter. This youngest brother was made a regular butt of by the other two, and they treated him shamefully. If anything went wrong with their affairs, Peter had to bear the blame and put things right for them, and he had to endure all this ill-treatment because he was weak and delicate and couldn't defend himself against his stronger brothers. The poor creature had a most trying life of it in every way, and day and night he pondered how he could make it better. One day, when he was in the wood gathering sticks and crying bitterly, a little old woman came up to him and asked him what was the matter; and he told her all his troubles.
'Come, my good youth,' said the old dame, when he had finished his tale of woe, 'isn't the world wide enough? Why don't you set out and try your fortune somewhere else?'
Peter took her words to heart, and left his father's house early one morning to try his fortune in the wide world, as the old woman had advised him. But he felt very bitterly parting from the home where he had been born, and where he had at least passed a short but happy childhood, and sitting down on a hill he gazed once more fondly on his native place.
Suddenly the little old woman stood before him, and, tapping him on the shoulder, said, 'So far good, my boy; but what do you mean to do now?'
Peter was at a loss what to answer, for so far he had always thought that fortune would drop into his mouth like a ripe cherry. The old woman, who guessed his thoughts, laughed kindly and said, 'I'll tell you what you must do, for I've taken a fancy to you, and I'm sure you won't forget me when you've made your fortune.'
Peter promised faithfully he wouldn't, and the old woman continued:
'This evening at sunset go to yonder pear-tree which you see growing at the cross roads. Underneath it you will find a man lying asleep, and a beautiful large swan will be fastened to the tree close to him. You must be careful not to waken the man, but you must unfasten the swan and take it away with you. You will find that everyone will fall in love with its beautiful plumage, and you must allow anyone who likes to pull out a feather. But as soon as the swan feels as much as a finger on it, it will scream out, and then you must say, "Swan, hold fast." Then the hand of the person who has touched the bird will be held as in a vice, and nothing will set it free, unless you touch it with this little stick which I will make you a present of. When you have captured a whole lot of people in this way, lead your train straight on with you; you will come to a big town where a Princess lives who has never been known to laugh. If you can only make her laugh your fortune is made; then I beg you won't forget your old friend.'
Peter promised again that he wouldn't, and at sunset he went to the tree the old woman had mentioned. The man lay there fast asleep, and a large beautiful swan was fastened to the tree beside him by a red cord. Peter loosed the bird, and led it away with him without disturbing the bird's master.
He walked on with the swan for some time, and came at last to a building-yard where some men were busily at work. They were all lost in admiration of the bird's beautiful plumage, and one forward youth, who was covered with clay from head to foot, called out, 'Oh, if I'd only one of those feathers how happy I should be!'
'Pull one out then,' said Peter kindly, and the youth seized one from the bird's tail; instantly the swan screamed, and Peter called out, 'Swan, hold fast,' and do what he could the poor youth couldn't get his hand away. The more he howled the more the others laughed, till a girl who had been washing clothes in the neighbouring stream hurried up to see what was the matter. When she saw the poor boy fastened to the swan she felt so sorry for him that she stretched out her hand to free him. The bird screamed.
'Swan, hold fast,' called out Peter, and the girl was caught also.
When Peter had gone on for a bit with his captives, they met a chimney sweep, who laughed loudly over the extraordinary troop, and asked the girl what she was doing.
'Oh, dearest John,' replied the girl, 'give me your hand and set me free from this cursed young man.'
'Most certainly I will, if that's all you want,' replied the sweep, and gave the girl his hand. The bird screamed.
'Swan, hold fast,' said Peter, and the black man was added to their number.
They soon came to a village where a fair was being held. A travelling circus was giving a performance, and the clown was just doing his tricks. He opened his eyes wide with amazement when he saw the remarkable trio fastened on to the swan's tail.
'Have you gone raving mad, Blackie?' he asked as well as he could for laughing.
'It's no laughing matter,' the sweep replied. 'This wench has got so tight hold of me that I feel as if I were glued to her. Do set me free, like a good clown, and I'll do you a good turn some day.'
Without a moment's hesitation the clown grasped the black outstretched hand. The bird screamed.
'Swan, hold fast,' called out Peter, and the clown became the fourth of the party.
Now in the front row of the spectators sat the respected and popular Mayor of the village, who was much put out by what he considered nothing but a foolish trick. So much annoyed was he that he seized the clown by the hand and tried to tear him away, in order to hand him over to the police.
Then the bird screamed, and Peter called out, 'Swan, hold fast,' and the dignified Mayor shared the fate of his predecessors.
The Mayoress, a long thin stick of a woman, enraged at the insult done to her husband, seized his free arm and tore at it with all her might, with the only result that she too was forced to swell the procession. After this no one else had any wish to join them.
Soon Peter saw the towers of the capital in front of him. Just before entering it, a glittering carriage came out to meet him, in which was seated a young lady as beautiful as the day, but with a very solemn and serious expression. But no sooner had she perceived the motley crowd fastened to the swan's tail than she burst into a loud fit of laughter, in which she was joined by all her servants and ladies in waiting.
'The Princess has laughed at last,' they all cried with joy.
She stepped out of her carriage to look more closely at the wonderful sight, and laughed again over the capers the poor captives cut. She ordered her carriage to be turned round and drove slowly back into the town, never taking her eyes off Peter and his procession.When the King heard the news that his daughter had actually laughed, he was more than delighted, and had Peter and his marvellous train brought before him. He laughed himself when he saw them till the tears rolled down his cheeks.
'My good friend,' he said to Peter, 'do you know what I promised the person who succeeded in making the Princess laugh?'
'No, I don't,' said Peter.
'Then I'll tell you,' answered the King; 'a thousand gold crowns or a piece of land. Which will you choose?'
Peter decided in favour of the land. Then he touched the youth, the girl, the sweep, the clown, the Mayor, and the Mayoress with his little stick, and they were all free again, and ran away home as if a fire were burning behind them; and their flight, as you may imagine, gave rise to renewed merriment.
Then the Princess felt moved to stroke the swan, at the same time admiring its plumage. The bird screamed.
'Swan, hold fast,' called out Peter, and so he won the Princess for his bride. But the swan flew up into the air, and vanished in the blue horizon. Peter now received a duchy as a present, and became a very great man indeed; but he did not forget the little old woman who had been the cause of all his good fortune, and appointed her as head housekeeper to him and his royal bride in their magnificent castle.
