The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Sokoto State, Sadiq Musa, has defended the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare the governorship election in the state inconclusive.
According to the REC, the decision was constitutional.
DAILY POST reports that in the results announced so far, Gov Aminu Tambuwal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was leading his closest rival, Alhaji Ahmad Aliyu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with a margin of 3,413 votes while 75, 403 votes were cancelled.
Consequently, the governor has filed a suit challenging the decision of the electoral umpire to declare the election 'inconclusive' on the ground that it is unknown to the Nigerian constitution.
The governor claimed he had won the election and should be declared the winner forthwith.
Reacting, however, the INEC REC told reporters that, "Elections in the 136 polling units were cancelled because there were violence, willful destruction of voting materials and manhandling of our staff.
"The total number of votes cancelled were higher than the winning margin. It can significantly change the result.
"So, it is not concocted by INEC. INEC is empowered by the constitution to provide guidelines for elections and there is procedure for declaring election inconclusive," he said.

Simple + Sweet Creamery Fights Childhood Hunger With Handmade Artisan Ice Cream
Feb 3, 2021 | Arkansas United Methodist
Left to right, Coleman Warren and Tanner Green of Simple + Sweet Creamery, an artisanal ice cream business in Northwest Arkansas seeking to end childhood hunger.
By Caleb Hennington
What if an ice cream shop could also serve as a way to feed hungry and food-insecure children in Arkansas? That's the driving force behind Northwest Arkansas' newest artisanal ice cream shop, Simple + Sweet Creamery.
In 2019, Coleman Warren, Simple + Sweet's co-founder, was serving as an AmeriCorps volunteer in Omaha, Nebraska. Warren and his girlfriend, Bailee King, were helping to serve upwards of 600 kids a day at a large food bank in the Omaha area called the Food Bank for the Heartland. Warren's role was to not only serve the kids food but get them engaged in extracurricular, fun activities as well. It's an experience that he says totally changed his life.
"I remember very specific instances where I just had this wave of realization about how privileged I am. And how privileged a lot of people that I surround myself with are," Warren said. "And so when I got back to Arkansas, I was so inspired. I wanted to start a nonprofit. I wanted to contribute somehow to these efforts to feed kids."
Warren knew he wanted to contribute to feeding hungry children in his home state, but hadn't yet figured out how to do it. But then he remembered something that he experienced in Omaha that he had never had in his native Northwest Arkansas: really, really good artisanal ice cream.
"Where I'm from, we have some ice cream places, sure, but they are nothing like these places in Omaha. They were different somehow. And I just got the idea to do that in Arkansas," Warren said.
Ice cream couldn't be the only reason to start a business, however.
"I thought, 'what's the point in starting this ice cream business if it had no purpose?' And so, I was in one of my statistics class at the University of Arkansas where I go to school, and I had the thought 'what if the ice cream store was an economic engine for this nonprofit that helps fight food insecurity?'"
Warren, who is a 20-year-old junior studying industrial engineering and political science at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, partnered up with his childhood friend Tanner Green, as well as King, and found a way to jump into a brand new food business with a nonprofit mission.
Green is the chief operating officer for Simple + Sweet. King is the creative director and is responsible for building the messaging and imagery associated with the company.
Simple + Sweet currently sells 11 main flavors, with more flavors coming soon. Each flavor is handcrafted using natural ingredients that are locally sourced. Whenever someone buys a pint of ice cream from Simple + Sweet, more than 50% of the price of the pint goes toward fighting hunger in Arkansas. The money is donated to nonprofits in the area, like the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank.
They've also used money from pint sales to donate to food pantries run by school districts in the area, like the Farmington School District.
"The role that food and food scarcity plays in a child's life is enormous, very impactful, and can make all the difference in a healthy childhood," King said. "Simple + Sweet wants to find a way, a system, that will allow the community around us to buy an amazing product and be able to help someone in need, in return."

Warren said the team had help from the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center to craft a viable business plan, and managed to snag some ice cream making know-how from an ice cream shop in Mammoth Springs called The Spring Dipper.
"The owner of the shop, Neil McWilliams, taught us how to make just, I mean, just amazing ice cream. I don't know how else to say it, you just have to try it. It is just so good," Warren said.
After crafting a few flavors, Warren sampled the ice cream out to probably the best testing group you could get for ice cream: college students. But just when they were getting started with testing and feedback, COVID hit in March 2020.
Not deterred by the shutdown, Warren and his team decided to take a chance and sell the ice cream they had made with The Spring Dipper online to see what would happen. Within 24 hours of putting it up on the internet, they sold out.
"After that, I was like, 'Okay, how do we keep this going?' I remember in July, I thought that we just weren't going to do it. I was like, OK, this just isn't happening, we don't have the equipment to do it,'" Warren said. "And I was talking on the phone with Neil at Spring Dipper about finding equipment and how expensive it was, and right when I got off the phone, I saw an ice cream machine listed on eBay for an amazing deal, and I bought it right then. It's one of those things that has to be a God thing. It just felt like a sign."
Warren's connection to the church is also a big motivation for Simple + Sweet's mission to continue in Arkansas.
"My family has been attending the Farmington United Methodist Church for as long as I can remember," Warren said. "I got the chance to start playing drums for worship when I was only 7 years old, and then in 2020, I got the opportunity to lead the worship team at Farmington.
"It's such an amazing congregation there, and they really show that they care about you and want to see you grow as an individual."
Honey + Lavender ice cream from Simple + Sweet Creamery.
The Rev. Charles "Dee" Harper is the senior pastor at Farmington UMC and said that he has really loved getting to know not only Coleman but Bailee as well.
"Coleman is someone who I am blessed to work with. He is mature beyond his age, spiritually growing, caring of others, and he has a drive and energy that I admire greatly," Harper said. "We are so blessed as a church to have these two young people in our congregation. I am excited about how God will use both of them in the future."
Warren said that if it wasn't for the influence of his church and the leaders in it who shaped his worldview, Simple + Sweet might never have happened.
"I've always been taught to contribute to whatever you're a part of and contribute to a high level. Farmington UMC taught me what it means to be a Christian and what it means to be Christ-like. And that's caring for your neighbor. That's having a sense of community. And that's giving yourself to something bigger than yourself," Warren said.
Harper said that he thinks the future for Simple + Sweet is bright, and the work they are doing is vital to the life of the church.
"I believe not only our future but our present will be shaped by businesses, nonprofits, and churches who champion interactive and new ways of building relationships and support in their communities. I think Simple + Sweet has the potential to be one of those types of organizations. They make a delicious product, are building a supportive online community around it, and they are working to help fight hunger," Harper said.
Warren and his team are currently working on new seasonal flavors, as well as a low sugar option and a dairy-free option. One of their upcoming flavors for Valentine's Day is a chocolate-covered strawberry ice cream.

Sticky situation: Artist Sun K. Kwak — who works exclusively in masking tape — is covering a gallery in the Brooklyn Museum. Her piece will be open to viewers from March 29 through July 5.
Who said masking tape was only good for putting up old Dylan posters? Artist Sun Kwak uses that prosaic household material as her prime medium of self-expression.
Over the next two weeks, Kwak will finish covering the Brooklyn Museum's fifth-floor gallery with her sticky new piece, "Enfolding 280 Hours," a swirling mural made out of three miles of black masking tape.
So much tape is a big investment. One 60-yard roll, two inches wide, sells for $2.99 at American Housewares on Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn, which says it typically sells the rolls one or two at a time, not eight dozen at a time.
As a service, The Brooklyn Paper took out the abacus and did the calculation: Kwak's mural would require 88 rolls and cost $263. Dumont said he's never had a customer buy so much at one time — or use it in the manner of Kwak.
The artwork is unique for the Museum, too.
There's more to the piece than just putting down tape; Kwak, who began in early February, uses computer models and drawings as a guide.
"Visitors to the museum are very excited — [they] watch the progress every day," said Kwak, whose prior works can be seen at the Ch'i Contemporary gallery in Williamsburg.
"Enfolding 280 Hours" will be on display from March 27–July 5 at the Brooklyn Museum [2000 Eastern Pkwy. at Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, (718) 638-5000]. Kwak's other work is at Ch'i Contemporary Fine Art Gallery [293 Grand St. at Roebling Street in Williamsburg, (718) 218-8939].
I wonder if she actually went to the store and bought the tape all at once, or perhaps she bought it wholesale. Or maybe she didn't buy at all and some generous benefactor spent the dough for her to support the arts.

Across the street, though, there's much more ready-to-eat fare in the revamped Market building (the former Shed 2) at 920 S. Harwood St.
Not everything is open yet — Nammi, from the popular Vietnamese food truck, and Coolhaus ice creams looked close — but there's plenty in place to make a trip worthwhile.
Perhaps because it's part of a farmers market, even the meat-heavy spots have veggie options. Typical is Stocks & Bondy, which has a menu highlighting bone broths and braised meats but also three vegetarian soups (including vegan carrot-ginger), a mayo-free purple potato salad and an egg salad sandwich.
La Popular Tamale House had vegetable and bean-and-jalapeño varieties, and Taqueria La Ventana had calabacitas (squash) tacos and an ensalada fresca with greens, candied peanuts, avocado, queso fresco and vinaigrette.
Scardello, the fantastic specialty cheese shop in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas, has a stall featuring a cheese case but also quick meals like Texas or market cheese plates ($15) and a better cheddar sandwich with Cottonwood River cheddar and fig jam.
We browsed and grazed a little, but decided to have lunch at the new Shannon Wynne restaurant, Mudhen Meat and Greens (Wynne's empire includes Bird Cafe in Fort Worth and Meddlesome Moth in Dallas). It's housed in yet another building in the complex.
Mudhen makes lavish use of market produce in "clean" dishes including starters, sandwiches, entrees and BYOB — build-your-own bowls.
To help you build a market bowl based on the freshest in-season produce, the dining room is dominated by huge chalkboards with checklists detailing the fruits and veg that are available.
Choose starches ($3 each) such as parsnip puree, whole grain salad or sweet potato mash; then add vegetables and fruits from the day's board for $4 each — sunchokes, broccolini, leeks and black beans were among the 20 or so choices last Sunday.
We tried dishes from the set menu instead, and all were winners, including the harvest market salad with young greenhouse lettuce, soaked almonds, quinoa, dried figs and apricots, and a raw honey "lemonette"; an open-faced almond-butter sandwich with house-made strawberry-plum jam and greens; kale chips made faux-cheesy with nutritional yeast; and an angel hair pasta topped with root vegetables and a lush vegan sauce made with walnut cream.
I counted at least seven vegan dishes (clearly labeled on the menu), not including the huge variety of bowls you can create yourself.
Mudhen, 900 S. Harwood St., Dallas. 214-698-7000; mudheninthe.net.
▪ Vegans will want to take note of Blaze Pizza, which opened in February on the same block as the Whole Foods in north Arlington. A second Tarrant County location is due later this year in the Waterside development in Fort Worth.
Blaze is a build-your-own pizza place, a la Pie Five, but maybe a notch more upscale — hotter ovens, nothing but thin crusts. Vegan cheese is always on the menu, unlike at Pie Five, which offers it at some locations (not mine). Blaze's crusts, including a gluten-free one, are also vegan.
For those who love real cheese, there are almost twice as many choices here than at Pie Five, including goat, gorgonzola and two types of mozzarella. You can build your own 11-inch pie with unlimited toppings for $7.95.
It's also nice to see the extra attention this chain gives to the salads. Besides a Caesar, there are three good vegetarian side salads for $3.95 each: beets and goat cheese; roasted veggies and gorgonzola; and tomato, basil and ovalini (egg-shaped fresh mozzarella balls).
Blaze, 841 E. Lamar Blvd., Arlington. 817-522-1230; blazepizza.com.
▪ For me, the best build-your-own pizza place is Pizza Snob, which doesn't seem to offer vegan cheese. Its veggie toppings, though — which include candied jalapeños, red wine baby bellas, peppadews, a Greek olive medley and caramelized pineapple — are a cut above.
You can build your own pie with four toppings for $8.49.
Pizza Snob's kale salad ($3.29/$6.99) is a must. With cranberries, roasted pepitas, candied ginger and orange-sesame dressing, it's one of the few dishes that actually makes me enjoy raw kale.
Pizza Snob, 3051 S. University Drive (across from TCU). 817-462-7662; pizzasnob.com.

Kamala Harris Shows Her Bias Planning To Allot $100 Billion To Black Home Ownership
Simon Daily July 7, 2019
Dem Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris made waves when she went after Biden.
She was upset over his stance on bussing minorities and how he had bragged about working with racists. She quickly recanted days after siding with Biden on bussing, but now she is showing an overwhelming racial bias in her campaign.
Harris has already claimed she would be for reparations, but now on top of that, she wants to take 100 Billion dollars in taxpayer money to put towards black housing.
"Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., announced Saturday that she would invest $100 billion of federal money into housing assistance for black families as part of an effort to close the racial wealth gap in the United States if elected president.
"After generations of discrimination, it's time to give Black families a real shot at homeownership," Harris tweeted on Saturday."
"If we eliminate racial wealth disparities in homeownership rates, median Black wealth would grow $32,113 per household, and the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 31 percent," her campaign said."
"The program would target residents in red-lined communities — areas the Home Owners' Loan Corporation has dissuaded lenders from investing in — which her campaign identified as a culprit behind wealth disparities."
In an interview earlier this year she claimed that the trauma from slavery could be passed down from generation to generation.
"unless there's intervention done, it will appear to be, perhaps, generational. But it's generational only because the environment has not experienced a significant enough change to reverse the symptoms. You need to put resources and direct resources – extra resources – into those communities that have experienced that trauma."
It sounds like under her definition for those affected by slavery it would be anyone that is black.
I understand helping those in need, but this is not helping everyone. Harris looks to be singling out black folk. Where she may have the best of intentions, this is not right. If we are going to help people that are struggling in red-lined communities, then it should be across the board for all races that apply, not just black folk.

Agree with the general thrust of your statement. I don't agree that the power-elite is not so stupid. These are the guys who have been gulled by the Pak Army/ISI for over a decade so far after all.
The report A Crisis of Trust and Cultural Incompatibility,
www.michaelyon-online.com/images/pdf/trust-incompatibility.pdf
illuminates the problem in much more, and much more alarming detail than the article you cited. We have screwed this up beyond recognition.
This is the nature of all occupation operations, and while the foreign occupiers may believe they're seen as heroes with white hats, the local population at best tolerates them, and more than likely learns to hate them over time, and usually that hate is returned so the cycle never stops.
Surging in Afghanistan was inappropriate, and it only made it more difficult to change course, because no one likes to admit they got it wrong. A small presence of foreign forces would force them to depend on the Afghans, which in turn would result in a much different and more effective relationship with the Afghans. Too late now, but it concerns me when the Army wants to take the lessons learned from Afghanistan. What lessons did they take away from it?

Everything in that report Ol' Carl linked was absolutely predictable. Yet another example of why big bodies of troops in interventions are a really bad idea. Always have been (Carl's Roman Legionnaires probably had the same sorts of reactions and thoughts in Britain and Gaul...). :D

America's problem is not that it lacks book smarts, it lacks street smarts.
I have watched, in anguish, over the past twelve years as America is being led down a path to disaster by smart men and women with degrees from the best Ivy League schools but little common sense.
This is the same country where politicians from both major parties have an almost Pavlovian response to Israel ("Israel is the best thing that happened to mankind"). Where the most bellicose Israeli Prime Minister in recent times is given a standing ovation 29 times, where the US is one of the few nations on earth that plans to/planned to veto the Palestinian bid at the UN and plans to withdraw funding to UNESCO over Palestine.
These same people also know that 70% of the Arab World watches Al Jazeera, yet you expect the Muslim World to love you!
You are not going to get the Muslim World to love you by building an embassy the size of the Vatican in Baghdad. You've got to make bold changes to your Middle East policy.
Anyway, this is Orwell's essay, it illustrates the relationship between colonised and coloniser. This is exactly the way my dad and grandad felt about the British.

Couldn't agree more! America gets Zero respect in the world and yes College Degreeism is the biggest threat Mankind has ever faced.
This is - considering that the country is huge at about 310 million inhabitants - likely a systemic problem.
The selection for leadership is certainly broken (to a greater degree than in some other places; it's brokene verywhere).
On the other hand, looking at the current Republican Nominees for the #1 job of the country, I cannot resist the suspicion that it's not the process alone that's broken, if it's the process itself at all.
It may be a cultural thing instead.
Tolerance for BS is probably way too high, often with the excuse of free speech or under the pretense of balance (false equivalenciesbetween different political wing's BS).
The idea that a country's prime responsibility is to keep its about 5-10% harmful A-holes away from power is underdeveloped because of an exaggerated believe in one's greatness.
The readiness to learn from other countries' experiences and examples is underdeveloped.
The readiness to believe science over ideology/mythology/religion is underdeveloped.
The tolerance for big money influecne on elections and policy in general is overdeveloped.
Then again, Germany gets it wrong as well. We allow an overdevelopment of political institutions; our parties are too well-rooted, too influential.
Our federal government is run by people who excel in building party-internal alliances and at silencing/degrading their political opponents.
Too many ministers are incompetent at everything else and ethics are at best mediocre.
Our chancellor is so much focused on power that ideology is a mere tool for her, not a belief. This would be nice if she replaced it with rational analysis ona case-by-case basis, but instead it merely means that her policies are entirely unpredictable and can experience a U-turn any time, given some exogenous shock.
Our tolerance for this political culture is shocking (but we got a new, more youth-supported party that appears to shake things up a bit like the greens did three decades ago).
KingJaja with educated stupids, Fuchs with our systemic problem in developing leadership-absolutely.
Bill, the report confirms that the problems were exacerbated by the buildup in Afghanistan, just as you said. We used to depend more on local resources many years gone by. I think we could again. But our leadership is afraid to ask us to.
Ken, I think the Romans get a bad rap often. Spain, Gaul, Britain, all conquered by Rome, all became Rome and their people Romans. Their was no need for Legions to occupy those areas to suppress restless people. They weren't restless. In the late Empire, I may be hazy on this, the Legions were mostly on the frontiers or fighting each other in dynastic power struggles. One of the patterns of Celtic town construction was fortified hilltop settlements before the Romans came, open settlements in the valleys for the centuries the Romans were around, and after they left, back to fortified hilltop settlements.
Of course that didn't happen in just a few years. It took many to bring it about. But they did it. And they didn't do use just the kill 'em all Russian school of small war fighting. They worked through local elites and brought genuine benefits to the areas. They would kill 'em all though if the situation required it. Genuine carrots and genuine sticks.
How did you know Rome fascinates me?
KingJaja:
America's problem is not that it lacks book smarts, it lacks street smarts.True...
I have watched, in anguish, over the past twelve years as America is being led down a path to disaster by smart men and women with degrees from the best Ivy League schools but little common sense.Sigh. Me, too. Actually, I've been watching it for over 60 years and the downslope is generally steady. :mad:
slapout9: Ain't that right...;)
Fuchs: Sadly correct on all counts... :o
Carl: Yes, to what the Romans did but as you note, the Roman successes did in fact take many years and effectively, the Romans and the locals assimilated. That's a multi-generational effort and we, the US, are not going to do that; wouldn't even if we could -- and we cannot. Nor should we.
I suspect and suggest those Romans initially deployed had much the same reactions as cited in the report you linked, as assimilation occurred, that tension disappeared.. Dunno, wasn't there but I do know that in several deployments I've seen the same reactions (on both sides) as exist today in Afghanistan. Third party interventions do more harm than good, generally due to that as well as to other factors.
You cite the Romans often as successful -- and they were -- they also had time we do not have. They are also long gone -- just as we will be. We may get as much net time as they did, may not... :cool:

At least in Gaul good old Gaius did not let a good pretext go to waste to help some Gallic leader and tribes against other tribes and leaders both Gallic and Germanic. Of course many were not quite happy as the Gaius made it clear that they were here to stay, and found the big Germanic walkabout who fifty years earlier which triggered the creation of Marius professional mules in relative terms no longer that bad.
In the end the Romans offered a ferro e fuoco or panem et circenses plus attrative deals and baths for the Gallic nobility. So in a sense they were of course much more dead serious about their business and invested more time, Barbaric force and Roman civilisation into their enterprise. Many years later they had developed a regional Roman identity.
P.S: Ironically many Germanic leaders taking over part of the Roman empire seemingly felt that they were only changing the leadership. In the end the mostly melted with local population, in many cases adopting the local tongue being in the Franks reign or in the Lombardia. I can not quite imagine that Nato will go along that path...
The Romans had a simple method of romanizing new provinces:
The conquered them in battle, bribed local elites and lured their youth with the comforts of Roman civilization and career opportunities, then after 20-30 years they destroyed the last hope for freedom by crushing a general uprising in force.
In Parthia they failed with the conquering part, in Germany they failed with the 'crush the general insurrection' part.
They weren't exactly good at pacifying within a decade.
Hmm, maybe every village should have been asked send one or two bright youth to a U.S. University and be handed a cheap laptop with webcam and mobile phone connection?
What the Romans did is quite similar to what the Brits did - they ruled through the local emirs, maharajah etc., and made sure their children went to Oxford or Cambridge. They also crushed a few uprisings though.
The problem was that they also needed an army of clerks, soldiers, teachers and low-level administrators and these people got to know just enough to understand that colonialism wasn't right. By working closely with the British, they got to understand the Brits weren't all they were hyped to be. (Some of the most ardent anti-colonial figures were members of the West African Frontier Force who fought against the Japanese on behalf of the Brits in Burma. One recalls that at certain point, the Brits fell like a pack of cards and a lot of the fighting was done by Indians).
The age of European empires is over and so is the age of conquest via assimilation (although American televangelists seem to be very successful on that front in Africa - that's a topic for another day) is over. In that regard, Iraq and Afghanistan was a $1 trillion dollar social science experiment that went terribly wrong. (A more realistic people, less blinded by their own hubris would have seen it coming, though).
Would another Iraqi / Afghanistan type adventure in a non-Arab/Muslim nation work? We don't know, but the US can spend another $1 trillion to find out :wry:.
You mentioned "sending bright young things to American Universities and giving them laptops". Well, those bright young things were at Tahrir Square being interviewed by Anderson Cooper (the spoke excellent, unaccented English). In the background the Salafists and the MB who speak the language of the streets were doing their thing - the rest is history.
You cannot change a people by merely sending a few to Harvard!
I think the three most important trends in the developing world are:
1. Ethnicity/tribalism.
2. Fundamentalist Islam.
3. Evangelical Christianity.
All these three find fertile soil in impoverished and/or poorly educated societies. The important thing to note is that there is nothing the West has (not MTV, not McDonalds and not even Coca-Cola) that compete with the appeal of these three.
Afghanistan and Iraq pitted the West against the first two. If the "long war" ever extends beyond the Sahel region of Africa, the West could be dealing with all three. (If Afghanistan and Iraq are complex, imagine Nigeria. In Nigeria you will have to deal with all three!).
Call it quits.
(Heh, heh, heh. I see you've all fallen for my cleverly conceived plan to get everybody talking about Rome.)
KingJaja: Do you think that if the Brits had been able to offer full citizenship to the people of Nigeria, that would have made a difference? I realize that Rome was a contiguous empire, but just for arguments sake, would the prospect of British citizenship have made a difference to your father and grandfather?
I am not so sure a comfortable life can't compete in the long run with spiritually thrilling ideologies. Those 3 things you cited are wonderfully exciting, but after a man has been married for a few years and a few children he may begin to see the advantages of wealth. One side won't ever wipe out the other of course, but I think wealth or the promise of it can compete fairly effectively.
Assimilation keeps coming up. I wonder if that is what the Romans actually did. When the Mongolians conquered China, they eventually became Chinese. They were assimilated. When the Romans conquered places, those places became Roman. They were not. That is not an absolute of course, each group influenced the other, but I think a case can be made that the Romans transformed those they conquered more than they were transformed by them.
I think the French actually offered full citizenship to some Senegalese (Leopold Senghor was a member of the French national assembly) and generally did the whole "assimilation" thing better than the British.
(Also compare Muslim North Africa - Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia with Pakistan and Muslim India, you'll realize that the French did some things better than the British).
On the other hand, the British Empire was a slightly more exclusionary thing (both in theory and in practice) than the French Empire. The British had a deep mistrust of educated Africans and preferred to deal with uneducated traditional rulers than with the educated elite. This could be one of the reasons why predominantly Muslim Senegal, Mali and even Niger practice a more moderate form of Islam than Northern Nigeria (but that is a topic for another day).
The level of affection Francophone West Africans have for France (with a few notable exceptions) is much greater than the level of affection Anglophone West Africans have for England (in many cases it is non-existent).
If the British were more serious about assimilation, the relationship between the British and Nigerians today would have been deeper and more meaningful.
So the answer is yes.
A large part of the appeal of those three things is the support networks they provide - and help that was offered in times of need is never forgotten, no matter how many children you have and how much money is in your bank account.
The only thing that can beat the appeal of those three things is a robust economy and a fully functioning welfare state. There is absolutely no religious organisation in Africa / Latin America / Asia that is serious about increasing its market share that doesn't invest heavily in its benevolence arm (and that includes the Salafists and the Muslim Brotherhood).
We all know that a fully functioning welfare state is not going to happen anytime soon in those parts and somebody has to handle social services. You are smart enough to know what happens next.
Are you suggesting that the World is becoming more American / Western? Probably, but watching MTV, drinking Coca-Cola and speaking English does not make one an American. We may superficially resemble Americans, but I can assure you that we don't think in English and that is what really counts.
In case you haven't been paying attention, the global media and entertainment scene is increasingly more competitive and more regional. As recently as 1991, CNN was the only player in 24 hour news TV. Today, that space has been taken up by several players such as Al Jazeera (nothing the West has can compete against Al Jazeera in the Arab World).
You might not know this, but tens of millions of Africans who have never sat through a Hollywood movie have devoured hundreds of Nollywood movies. The same applies to the Indian Sub-continent and Bollywood (also very popular in the Arab World).
In my mind, the greatest agents for assimilation into a common global culture today are (a) fundamentalist Islam and (b) evangelical Christianity. Think about it, the most visible fashion trend in the World today is not the proliferation of blue jeans but the popularity of the hijab. Look at the impact evangelical Christianity has had on the work ethic in many parts of Latin America and Africa.
KingJaja: My comment about assimilation had to do only with Rome some 2000 years ago. It had nothing to do with American cultural influence, or lack thereof.
I knew about Bollywood but I didn't know about Nollywood. I have seen some Kenyan and Nigerian soap operas though. The Nigerian one was more shoot-em-up. The Kenyan one revolved around a father. That was the first I ever saw that took that point of view.
Cultural influence waxes and wanes with the times I suppose. We had an inordinate amount of influence for a long time, perhaps because we caught on to what sells in movies quicker and shortly thereafter the rest of the world was wrecked by WWII. WWII was a long time ago and the rest of the world has caught up.

All these three find fertile soil in impoverished and/or poorly educated societies. The important thing to note is that there is nothing the West has (not MTV, not McDonalds and not even Coca-Cola) that compete with the appeal of these three..
In Africa perhaps, and in parts of the Middle East and South Asia. That's not "the developing world" by a long shot.
In large parts of the developing world, mainly the parts that are actually developing, greed and materialism have almost completely trumped tribal affiliation and the assortment of superstitions that constitute religious extremism.
KJ, Chowing, Everybody,
The work week is over...mostly...hopefully Fuchs will forgive some of the sidebar...:wry:
Hmm...this is a very interesting observation that i often wonder about (having spent two years in Iraq). I wonder if you are willing to provide a conscise breakout of the baseline conditions, timeline, criteria/dimensions, and geographic areas which you are measuring?
When we (US) and everybody else(World) looks at the 'deliverables' of GWOT/OIF/OEF and then goes on to define success or failure i wonder if consciously and unconciously comparisons are being made to the Marshall Plan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan) and the follow on results?
For my breakout, i want to first say that war is a very, very, blunt, imprecise, inaccurate, and bloody instrument. Furthermore, there are usually better ways to effect change than resorting to war. My observations are further limited to Iraq...are of 2003 and of 2010...are broad brush strokes...and address Kurdistan and 'The Rest of Iraq', as two separate entities. Baseline conditions in Kurdistan in 2003 included a mix of agricultural community, and functional infrastructure (UNDP despite it's flaws was getting things done), functional rule of law, functional security, a functional business community, and a nascent telecommunications backbone. 'The Rest of Iraq' suffered from threadbare infrastructure (held together with bailing wire and bubblegum in many instances), a confessional/tribal type rule of law, dysfunctional and deteriorating security, not quite equal part official and grey-market business communities, and no cell-phones-internet-satellite-tv for telecommunications. Seven years later i was amazed at the wild leapfrogging of Kurdistan towards the conditions of the 'second-world' (between poverty and prosperity). 'The Rest of Iraq' had made tremendous strides with respect to telecommunications yet infrastructure, rule of law, security, and the business community seemed to be at least ten years of dedicated effort behind Kurdistan.
IMHO a portion of the 'trillion-dollar-GWOT-rock' which we dropped into the oxbow lake that was Iraq in 2003 has served in some ways to reconnect it to the river that is globalization, and has had additive effects upon the wave that is the Arab Spring. The Arab World is not Europe however, and i wonder if the resultant trend veered more towards a Morgenthau Plan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgenthau_Plan) type deliverable in some dimensions...all sides have to cooperate in order to build...
Think about it, the most visible fashion trend in the World today is not the proliferation of blue jeans but the popularity of the hijab.
Marketing Strategy/Market Segmentation tells us that trends can be started/increased by influencing 'key people'/'target markets' does it not? :wry:
With respect to the hijab as uber-trend, let's run some quick napkin math. There are approximately 7 billion people in the world. China has ~ 1.3 billion, the majority of whom are non-muslim and who follow 'non-hijab' fashion. India has 1.1 billion, the majority of whom are non-muslim and who follow 'non-hijab' fashion. Africa has ~ 1 billion, the majority of whom are non-muslim...~350 million live in the middle east...~500 million live in 'Europe'....these observations seem to be in keeping with the wikipedia entry which states that ~1.6 billion people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_world) in the world are Muslim...half of which are female...and what percentage of those wear the hijab?
As to the burning of the Koran...this issue is a senseless one on all sides, and all of us know that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind...yet...all of us read history and know that the clash of religions/demographics is an endless continuum of man's inhumanity to man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man's_inhumanity_to_man)...

Weird Women: Classic Supernatural Fiction by Groundbreaking Female Writers: 1852–1923
Ed. by Lisa Morton and Leslie S. Klinger.
Aug. 2020. 384p. Pegasus, $25.95 (9781643134161); e-book, $19.99 (9781643134178).
REVIEW. First published August 2020 (Booklist).
Morton and Klinger refute the popular misconception that the early horror genre had few female writers—in reality, as they show, women writers were forerunners of the genre, often supporting their families through their work and gaining fame, only to be allowed to drift into obscurity and out of print. The two editors bring these authors back into the spotlight here. Many of the stories dig deeply into motherhood and society's expectations of women: two spinsters living a happy life are nevertheless haunted by dreams of a baby, a woman and her illegitimate child are turned out into the cold by a cruel patriarch, and the ghosts of children and mothers feature prominently in this collection. These tales were written by women with streaks of independence—some of them writing under pen names, some of them queer—and their rebellion shines through the subtext, from the strong butch farmer in Charlotte Riddell's "Nut Bush Farm" to the beautiful lady in carnations in Marie Corelli's "The Lady with Carnations." Feminist and horror-genre readers will jump on this compelling and spooky collection, to where Louisa May Alcott writes of seeds found in a mummy's chamber and where gorgeous women werewolves and mad scientists haunt these pages.

Jury says Vancouver senior is guilty of 2 counts of 2nd-degree murder
Published Wednesday, November 20, 2019 10:39AM PST Last Updated Wednesday, November 20, 2019 2:09PM PST
VANCOUVER - A Vancouver man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in two 2017 deaths.
A jury ruled Leonard Landrick is guilty of two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of 57-year-old Sandra McInnes and 51-year-old Neil Croker. The jury did not make a recommendation to the judge on when Landrick should be eligible for parole.
Their bodies were found in Landrick's West End apartment building on July 9, 2017. Landrick was arrested that same day. He was 73 at the time.
The victims and Landrick all lived in the same building on Morton Avenue and all three knew each other.
When they died, McInnes was on the building's board and Croker was the building manager.
Defence counsel said it would like to argue Landrick is not criminally responsible, but Crown counsel disagreed, saying there was no foundation for the argument. The judge has not yet made a decision.
Leonard Landrick, 73, is accused of killing the building manager and a board member at his West End apartment building.

Jeanne Gaveston, née vers le  à York et morte le  à Amesbury, est le seul enfant de Pierre Gaveston,  comte de Cornouailles, et de Marguerite de Clare.

Biographie

Naissance
Jeanne Gaveston est la fille et le seul enfant de Pierre Gaveston,  comte de Cornouailles et favori du roi Édouard II d'Angleterre, et de Marguerite de Clare, nièce du roi Édouard. Quelques mois avant sa naissance, le , ce dernier a été contraint d'accepter la sentence d'exil perpétuel contre le père de Jeanne demandée par les Ordonnances. Gaveston s'est en effet attiré depuis l'avènement du roi en 1307 l'inimitié de l'essentiel du baronnage d'Angleterre, en raison des faveurs démesurées que fait pleuvoir le roi Édouard II sur lui, alors qu'il n'est issu de naissance que d'une modeste famille de la noblesse du duché d'Aquitaine. Après le bannissement de son favori et neveu-par-alliance, le roi demande à la fin du mois de  ou au début du mois de  à sa nièce Marguerite, alors à un stade très avancé de sa grossesse, de quitter le château de Wallingford où elle résidait jusque-là et de le suivre en direction du Yorkshire, probablement afin de la protéger des adversaires de Gaveston et d'éviter qu'elle ne soit prise en otage dans l'éventualité d'une confrontation militaire avec ces derniers. Marguerite et son oncle se séparent ensuite, elle se rendant à York pour y accoucher, lui à Knaresborough, où il arrive le  ou peu avant cette date.

Pendant ce temps, Pierre Gaveston rentre secrètement de l'exil qui lui a été imposé et retrouve le roi le  à Knaresborough : la raison de son retour si rapide peut avoir été la naissance imminente de son héritier. Immédiatement après leurs retrouvailles, les deux hommes se rendent à York, où Marguerite de Clare a donné naissance la veille à une fille, prénommée Jeanne en hommage à Jeanne d'Angleterre, la mère de Marguerite. Peut-être Pierre avait-il ensuite pour intention de retourner en exil, mais Édouard II profite de sa présence pour annuler le  la sentence prononcée à l'encontre de son favori et le restaurer dans toutes ses possessions deux jours plus tard. Quelques semaines plus tard, le , le baptême de Jeanne Gaveston est fastueusement célébré sur ordre du roi, tandis que la reine Isabelle de France rejoint son époux Édouard II et le futur Édouard III est conçu à cette occasion. Mais le retour illégal de Pierre Gaveston en Angleterre déclenche la fureur des seigneurs qui ont réclamé son exil et, à l'instigation de Thomas de Lancastre,  comte de Lancastre, et de Guy de Beauchamp,  comte de Warwick, le favori, traqué par ses adversaires et séparé du roi, est capturé, condamné à mort pour haute trahison et exécuté sommairement le .

Fiançailles
Apprenant la mort de Pierre Gaveston, Édouard II s'empresse d'accorder sa protection à sa veuve et leur fille. La jeune Jeanne Gaveston est immédiatement envoyée au prestigieux prieuré d'Amesbury dans le Wiltshire, où elle est élevée auprès de sa cousine Éléonore de Bohun sous la supervision de Marie d'Angleterre, une des sœurs du roi. La mort subite de son oncle Gilbert de Clare,  comte de Gloucester et  comte de Hertford, fait de sa mère Marguerite l'une des cohéritières de la famille de Clare : par conséquent, Jeanne peut espérer épouser un seigneur de haut rang au sein du baronnage. Dès 1316, Édouard II la fiance à Thomas Wake,  baron Wake de Liddell. Pourtant, ce dernier épouse avant le  de la même année Blanche de Lancastre, la nièce de Thomas de Lancastre. On ignore pourquoi Wake a refusé la main de Jeanne : en effet, ce n'est pas Blanche qui est destinée à hériter de la fortune de son oncle, mais son frère Henri de Grosmont. Il est possible que Wake ait jugé préférable à cette période de s'allier au comte de Lancastre plutôt qu'au roi, alors sérieusement affaibli par ses échecs militaires, ou qu'il ait supposé que Marguerite de Clare se remarierait et aurait un fils, privant Jeanne Gaveston de son statut d'héritière d'un tiers du prestigieux patrimoine de Clare.

Quoi qu'il en soit, Édouard II condamne Thomas Wake à verser à « notre très chère parente » la somme de 1 000 livres en dédommagement, qui est partiellement payée le . Le roi envisage ensuite un nouveau parti pour sa petite-nièce, dont il négocie le  le mariage avec John de Multon, fils de Thomas de Multon,  baron Multon d'Egremont, et d'Éléonore de Burgh, fille du magnat irlandais Richard Óg de Burgh,  comte d'Ulster. Édouard II et Thomas de Multon s'accordent pour que le mariage ait lieu dès la majorité des deux fiancés. Le baron Multon promet au roi d'accorder à Jeanne la somme de 400 marcs et qu'« il ne s'éloignera pas de lui-même des terres qu'il détient actuellement ou qu'il héritera par réversion ou autrement, aux dommages ou au déshéritement de son fils ». En contrepartie, Édouard s'engage à verser à Thomas de Multon une dot de 1 000 livres, qu'il obtient grâce à l'amende payée par Thomas Wake, et semble envisager de placer Jeanne chez son futur beau-père jusqu'à son mariage, bien que l'idée soit finalement abandonnée pour une raison inconnue. Enfin, le baron doit jurer de payer au roi la somme colossale de 10 000 livres s'il vient à renoncer unilatéralement au mariage de son fils et héritier avec Jeanne Gaveston.

Mort
Le , peu avant la signature du contrat de mariage de Jeanne Gaveston, sa mère Marguerite de Clare se remarie en secondes noces avec Hugh Audley,  baron Audley et nouveau favori du roi Édouard. Les deux époux ont bientôt une fille, Marguerite Audley, qui devient cohéritière de la fortune de sa mère au même titre que sa demi-sœur Jeanne. En , à la suite d'une rébellion infructueuse contre le roi à laquelle a participé Hugh Audley, Marguerite de Clare et sa seconde fille Marguerite sont recluses sur ordre d'Édouard II au prieuré de Sempringham dans le Lincolnshire. Cette décision ne semble pas avoir affecté le destin de Jeanne Gaveston, qui demeure au prieuré d'Amesbury en attendant que son mariage avec John de Multon puisse être célébré. Mais le mariage n'aura en définitive jamais lieu, puisque Jeanne meurt prématurément et de causes inconnues le , le lendemain de son treizième anniversaire. On ne dispose d'aucune trace concernant ses funérailles, bien qu'il soit très probable qu'elles aient été grandement célébrées à la demande du roi, son grand-oncle : en effet, ce dernier n'a jamais oublié de prier le  de chaque année depuis 1315 plusieurs maisons religieuses d'organiser une messe en l'honneur de Pierre Gaveston.

En , le roi Édouard III fait diligenter une enquête afin de déterminer si John de Multon doit acquitter la somme de 10 000 livres en dédommagement en raison de la non-célébration de son mariage avec Jeanne Gaveston, mais les officiers royaux concluent qu'aucune amende ne peut être exigée du nouveau baron Multon d'Egremont : ils déclarent vaguement à cette occasion dans leur rapport que Jeanne est morte de maladie et affirment par erreur qu'elle est décédée à l'âge de quinze ans. Les historiens ont aussi pendant une certaine période placé la date de naissance de Jeanne en 1310 et l'ont confondue avec sa demi-sœur illégitime Amie Gaveston, qui sera ultérieurement une suivante de Philippa de Hainaut, l'épouse d'Édouard III. Quoi qu'il en soit, John de Multon meurt lui aussi prématurément et sans descendance en 1334. Le trépas de Jeanne Gaveston fait également de sa demi-sœur Marguerite la seule héritière de leur mère Marguerite de Clare. Libérée à la chute d'Édouard II en 1326 tout comme ses parents, Marguerite Audley devient une héritière attractive et est par conséquent épousée de force en 1336 par Ralph de Stafford, qui convoite le tiers de l'héritage de Clare et héritera des possessions de sa belle-mère Marguerite de Clare à sa mort en 1342.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Xtina from Smoothest Finish I bought this brush as per recommendation from a Jackie Aina youtube tutorial, and I was just so intrigued to try! First review on anything, ever. But this brush for blending in foundation flawlessly, was too good not to share a review. No streaks, smooth finish, and blends foundation so well. My make up literally looks airbrushed on! I thought I'd stick to a beauty blender forever, but tbh I only use a BB for concealer/setting powder now... #1 foundation applicator in my books now.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Halliday91 from BETTER THAN A BEAUTY BLENDER Let me start of by saying that I have used a plethora of foundation brushes and not one compares to this. I have rosacea, acne prone skin and patches of flaky skin where my ance is. Using a brush has always made my skin peel more and taken way too much effort to hide the redness on my pale and uneven complexion. For this reason, I had switched to a beauty blender to press the foundation onto my skin. After watching Jackie Aina's videos on YouTube, I thought I would give it a try. After all, Jackie's foundation blended so effortlessly with no streaking. LET ME TELL YOU! I have NEVER seen a brush that makes blending my foundation so easy, fast and smooth... I even threw my beauty blender in the trash. Swirly motions works well and regardless of it being an extraordinary brush, I still decided to press the foundation onto the skin where my skin is peeling severely. I would highly recommend this product to anyone! It's definitely worth a try.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AshleyH from Best foundation brush!!!!!!!! I bought it last month and I cannot stop using it ! I literally get the most out of my foundation using this brush. Plus it's very sturdy and big for the price! Highly recommend you won't be disappointed. My foundation goes so much longer with my brush vs. Beauty blender. You will love it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Luscious from A must have in your Makeup Brush collection I bought this brush last year and it is still in good condition and absolutely blends out my foundation and gives it a flawless finish. Easy to clean and no shedding.
Rated 5 out of 5 by geecee from Great Brush I'm really happy to have bought this brush! It blends really well. Its not expensive like other brushes but works just as well!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ginger123 from Amazing I love this brush! I tell all my friends to buy it. It's amazing. I use it for foundation.

Study urges greater role for minorities in Maryland medical marijuana program
Maryland's medical marijuana program put minority applicants for business permits at a disadvantage, according to a new study that recommended race be factored into any future MMJ licensing.
The study's author – Jon Wainwright, managing director of NERA Economic Consulting – said the findings support "the use of race- and gender-based measures to remediate discrimination affecting minority- and women-owned businesses in the types of industries relevant to the medical cannabis business."
Diversity in Maryland's MMJ industry has been a hot-button issue because minorities won only a small number of the retail and processing MMJ business licenses and none of the cultivation licenses.
The cultivation licensing process was even delayed because of a lawsuit stemming from the diversity issue.
Commissioned by Gov. Larry Hogan in April, the report will likely make it easier for regulators and lawmakers to consider race when awarding future medical marijuana business licenses, The Baltimore Sun reported.
The state's General Assembly is considering a bill that would create five new licenses and require race to be factored into how they would be awarded, according to the newspaper.

2 nodes are missing degree of freedoms. The MPC/Equation/kinematic coupling constraints can not be formed. The nodes have been identified in node set ErrNodeMissingDofConstrDef.
I checked all constraints in those two nodes, and I am sure that I created these constraints like others, but I cannot understand what is the problem?
Boundary conditions are specified on inactive dof of 2 nodes. The nodes have been identified in node set WarnNodeBCInactiveDof.
How I could solve these problems?

If there are several constraints, and some of those constrained nodes are involved in multiple constraints and/or boundary conditions, then you should look carefully into how constraints are being defined. Abaqus removes some of the constrained dofs, and therefore anything coming after that (e.g. constraints, load, bc) will not be felt. This is what I think is happening in your model. Check manual for what dofs will be removed in a constraint definition, and then organize your constraints/bc accordingly such that no eliminated dofs are involved in later definition.

then you are removing the X displacement of node 1 and you cannot use another equation of the form X displacement of Node 1 - X displacement of Node 3 = 0.
Instead X displacement of Node 3 - X displacement of Node 1 can be used.
In your .dat file, the degrees of freedom that have vanished for error nodes will be mentioned.

Well, there is no method that I know of other than what Brunda has just mentioned.You have to do it manually. Almost always, in any constraints (MPC, EQUATION, COUPLING, KINEMATIC COUPLING, RIGID BODY, etc.), the dofs of slave nodes that are involved in the constraint definition will be eliminated. Also, it will be done in the order they are encountered.
In some cases the elemination (or condensation) will be done before any system matrix assembly. In other case, it is done during the matrix assembly. Therefore, it's all dependent on how these have been defined.
If some nodes are participating in two or more constraints, then try to chain them; i.e. if A, B, and C are linked as A is tied to B, and B is rigidly connected to C, then define B->Ref Node=A, Node B, Ref Node=C.
Pay extra attention to which node or node set are you going to define as slave. Usually choose slave node/sets which are not going to participate anywhere either in other MPC or Boundary/Load.
Try to put all constraint definitions at one place in the input file, this makes tracking easier.
If I come across any technique where abaqus can printout which dofs are removed, I will definately share it here.

Is there anybody who know what do these warning and error mean?

Zero pivot means there is rigid body motion in your system or in other words the system matrix is singular. Abaqus will try to resolve zero pivot but if it is genuine then abaqus can not, and you'll have to fix it...since there is only 1 dof of 1 node, the task is quite easy. Open odb file, and check which node it is (abaqus has created a node set for this)...and then you can check your input file or model to find out what is causing singular matrix or rigid boyd motion.

By this description what do you think about this error?
Permalink Submitted by Akumar on Tue, 2012-12-18 15:09.
By definition, tursses can not carry moment and shear, and therefore no rotational dof in truss element. Since the singularity came on dof 6, then it is quite obvious that somehow through constraints, rotaional degree of freedom is being activated. And since trusses don't have bending or shear stiffness, your rotation dof stiffness = 0.
Check your model again, it must be some small thing that is causing the problem. Specially check around the node where zero pivot is being reported by abaqus.
By the way, are you using connector element to create a pin joint between two nodes?

Researchers seek true value of ocean wealth
A project is seeking to quantify the value of Australia's oceans.
Deakin researchers are seeking to put a value on southern Australia's underwater habitats, as part of the Global Mapping Ocean Wealth Program.
Initiated in 2014, the project has now come to Australia, with researchers to investigate the wealth of waters in Port Phillip Bay, Westernport Bay and coastal areas in New South Wales, to get a grasp of the benefits people gain from the natural environment and improve management strategies.
Deakin University scientists from the Centre for Integrative Ecology, within the School of Life and Environmental Sciences, will lead the project, including underwater mapping specialist Dr Daniel Ierodiaconou, blue carbon expert Dr Peter Macreadie and conservation ecologist Dr Emily Nicholson.
The three-year project is funded by the Nature Conservancy, as part of its Great Southern Seascapes program, supported by The Thomas Foundation, HSBC Australia, Department of Primary Industries in NSW and the Ian Potter Foundation.
The project will also include economists, ecologists, modellers and habitat mapping experts.
Dr Ierodiaconou said the project would consider the intrinsic benefits that habitats, including seagrass, saltmarsh, mangroves and reefs, provide for humans.
"By using high resolution data of habitat distribution, we can begin to quantitatively assess the values provided and make more informed management decisions," Dr Ierodiaconou said.
The team will use spatial maps and other data to communicate the value of marine habitats to stakeholders, such as benefits they provide to coastal protection, fisheries, tourism and other recreational activities.
"We hope that this project will enable us to better understand the impact of alternative management scenarios and the trade-offs between services that these ecosystems provide," Dr Ierodiaconou said.
"For example, we can evaluate the impact of an urban development in the coastal fringe and potential habitat loss in terms of reduced services, whether they be related to reduced nursery habitat for fishes, the ability to sequester carbon, or the provision of coastal protection.
"Alternatively, we can look at the potential gains that can be made in terms of restoration and prioritise localities that are likely to provide the greatest benefits in terms of services.
By being able to map these habitats, the team hopes to be able to translate the findings in a way that helps decision-makers better understand the true value of the ocean environment.
"For example, a seagrass bed may provide coastal protection preventing beach erosion, provide an important nursery ground for fish and support diverse bird life, whilst expressing an aesthetic beauty supporting marine tourism," said Dr Ierodiaconou.
"The diverse team will allow us to capture environmental, economic and social values that coastal marine habitats provide and identify specific areas of high conservation importance and opportunities to maximise return on restoration efforts."
The Deakin researchers and collaborators have also secured additional funding from the Australian Research Council Linkage Program. The ARC project, led by Dr Macreadie, will research optimal management of coastal ecosystems for blue carbon sequestration, with project partners from the Nature Conservancy, Parks Victoria and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).
"The ARC funding will allow us to expand the work of Mapping Ocean Wealth by looking at the value of these coastal habitats in sequestering carbon. Seagrass, mangroves and saltmarsh are incredibly efficient carbon sinks. However, they are under threat due to urbanisation, rising sea levels and a changing climate," Dr Ierodiaconou said.
