What Is A Cocaine Binge?
Anyone who has become dependent to cocaine will experience withdrawal when they abruptly stop using the drug, and the initial "crash" that individuals experience is most often what causes them to relapse if not in a drug rehab setting. Acute cocaine withdrawal symptoms can be intense, and individuals will experience depression symptoms, extreme agitation, and other psychological symptoms which present challenges in the beginning stages of abstinence from the drug. However, such symptoms and cravings to use cocaine may persist for many more weeks and months following these acute stages of withdrawal. This is why all stages of cocaine withdrawal should not only be professionally overseen and managed by detox and addiction specialist, but also why individuals should expect to receive cocaine withdrawal treatment and further addiction treatment for several weeks if not months when recovering from cocaine addiction.
Cocaine withdrawal treatment presents its own unique challenges whether or not someone is in treatment when withdrawing from the drug. While most drugs cause pronounced physical symptoms of withdrawal while the individual detoxes, cocaine isn't typically going to cause any of these physical symptoms and instead causes symptoms which are more psychological in nature. This occurs as a result of the drug's effects on the brain chemistry of the user, and when coming off of cocaine it can take quite some time for these things to readjust on their own to normal function so that the person can once again experience happiness which isn't chemically induced. It doesn't happen overnight. So as the body and mind readjust to normal function without cocaine, individuals may feel extremely depressed and agitated and have intense cravings for cocaine. These symptoms will taper off over time but can be very burdensome, which is why relapse rates are so high unless individuals receive actual cocaine withdrawal treatment and further treatment for their addiction.
Because of the unique challenges that cocaine withdrawal presents, cocaine withdrawal treatment focuses on providing the most serene and stress-free environment possible, so that the individual can get through cocaine withdrawal without any unnecessary distractions. In the normal course of things back at home, this very likely wouldn't be possible. Life triggers and stressors, which can be different for each and every person, are going to provide an opportunity for individuals to turn to cocaine as a solution. And being outside of a cocaine withdrawal treatment setting, they will have easy access to cocaine and any other drug, making the risks of relapse much higher. In cocaine withdrawal treatment, anything which causes stress or cravings is addressed with measures to alleviate these issues and circumstances without the use of drugs, such as ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, nutrition, etc. There are even cocaine withdrawal treatment options which incorporate meditation, yoga, and other alternative and holistic remedies which have been shown to nurture an effective withdrawal process.
Cocaine withdrawal treatment which also offers complete physical detox has been proven to be one of the most effective options available. In such facilities, individuals are put through a detox process involving a thorough sauna regimen to sweat all residual drugs and toxins from their bodies. Because residual drugs and toxins can stay trapped in fatty tissues for years and cause drug flashbacks and other problems in the future, completely purging one's body of these substances can greatly improve one's chances of staying clean because it also reduces the possibility of persistent cravings.
When someone addicted to cocaine doesn't seek cocaine withdrawal treatment, it is very common for these individuals to turn to other drugs to ease the symptoms of withdrawal. Individuals withdrawing on their own may self medicate with alcohol or prescription drugs for example in an effort to alleviate cocaine withdrawal symptoms. Alcohol and prescription drugs such as Xanax may provide a temporary alleviation of symptoms, taking this route can make the situation much worse because it isn't actually addressing the problem. The substances which are being used to self medicate oneself through cocaine withdrawal often just become a new problem which must be addressed. It isn't worth putting oneself at risk of consequences associated with a new addiction or dependency issues, when effective cocaine withdrawal treatment is available.
It is also important to note that individuals will need further treatment for cocaine addiction and dependency beyond the treatment offered for withdrawal if they have any kind of expectation to remain clean. The reasons they began using cocaine, which are very unique for everyone, should be addressed immediately following cocaine withdrawal treatment. Actual treatment goes beyond addressing the physical symptoms associated with cocaine addiction, and focuses more on which things and people triggered and will continue to trigger cocaine use if not resolved. This could be as simple as addressing very obvious issues in one's life such as family and relationships issues, or may lead to a past failure or even a devastating loss. Whatever the case may be, these things can take time to uncover and address, so individuals should expect to spend several weeks beyond cocaine withdrawal treatment in rehab to ensure everything is thoroughly addressed. Even though it may seem like a big commitment, this is the best approach to ensure individuals don't experience a relapse as soon as they leave treatment.
Cocaine withdrawal treatment and the treatment needed to actually completely resolve cocaine addiction are available in many different facilities and there are varying approaches to this. While there are many 12-step programs available these programs are not the only option, and there are alternative programs which actually have higher success rates than 12-step and other programs which use the disease model. Choice model programs and other alternative treatment programs base their treatment models off of the premise that individuals will be able to recover from addiction fully, and won't have to be labeled an addict for the rest of the lives. These programs use behavior modification techniques and other treatment methods so that a person accepts full responsibility and regain the control that drugs once had in their lives.

Are the Scottish Government raising the risk of Suicide?
Beverley Thorpe
"The Scottish Government's vision, which is shared by our partners in mental health and suicide prevention, is of a Scotland where suicide is preventable; where help and support is available to anyone contemplating suicide and to those who have lost a loved one to suicide. Suicide prevention is everyone's business."
Clare Haughey, Minister for Mental Health – "Scotland's Suicide Prevention Action Plan"– "Every Life Matters".
Suicide isn't what it used to be…..not always. It is now a complex societal, medical and media worthy issue, tragic for the individual and those around them. It was once thought of a cowardly act, the choice of those who found it easier to ignore their survival instinct and eliminate their pain by ending their life. Suicide was a taboo subject and often simply viewed as an easy 'way out'. Nowadays, we are told suicide is an issue we need to be aware of, talk about and 'is everyone's business', but in attempts to 'prevent' suicide and support those 'contemplating' it, is the Scottish Government overlooking an opportunity to reduce suicide caused by its very medicalisation?
As Scotland engages with their 'National Suicide Action Plan', they might do well to note that since the 'The National Strategy for Suicide Prevention' was launched in the United States in 2001, the suicide rate in the United States has steadily risen. Why?
I present evidence that the focus on antidepressants in mental health care raises the risk of suicide on a general population level because of under-recognised adverse effects of the drugs. I propose that addressing avoidable iatrogenic harm from the very drugs used in mental health care can reduce suicide in Scotland.
Governmental investigation into suicide prevention
The Scottish Government has set up and funded a National Suicide Prevention Leadership Group (NSPLG), reporting to Scottish Ministers. Its tasks include; public awareness, training, and support, identifying and facilitating preventative actions targeted at risk groups, developing appropriate reviews into all deaths by suicide and ensuring that the lessons from reviews are acted on.
The fact is that decades of research into suicide prevention has already been done and there are still no effective prevention strategies. Little scientific evidence exists that media campaigns and government strategies reduce suicide and mounting evidence they don't.
Suicide is an extremely difficult area for researchers to study, however, one factor is blaringly clear; treatment for depression and anxiety is often a precursor to suicide. Suicide never used to be a 'medical' issue. Now, 90% of those who end their lives have a 'mental disorder'. With the diagnosis of a mental disorder comes the very prescribing of drugs; drugs which alter brain chemistry. People who kill themselves have often been prescribed medication.[1]
It is becoming more apparent, the mainstream view that antidepressants and other drugs used in mental health work, and the processes used to establish the categories of mental disorders for which psychotropic drugs are prescribed are questionable. GPs are having to make subjective decisions about medicalising natural responses to the difficulties of everyday life. As Antidepressant prescribing continues to soar in Scotland we are unnecessarily exposing people to drugs which "can throw us temporarily into a foreign state of mind, into an altered version of who we are".[2] [3]
"Planning" or "contemplating" suicide, as the Scottish Government refer to it, is far removed from the experiences of many who have become suicidal due to the effects of medication.
The Scottish Government say they will facilitate preventative actions targeted at risk groups and evidence shows the highest risk group are those who are medicated. If Governments and the mental health industry insist on relying on communications as a path to reduce suicide, then those communications would be much more effective targeted at those of highest risk of suicide and that includes the millions of people taking antidepressants!
In 2010, Ajit Shah and UK researchers reported on a study of suicide rates in 76 countries. They found suicides were higher in countries with mental health legislation. They reported there was a correlation between higher suicide rates and a higher number of psychiatric beds, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses; more mental health training from primary care professionals and greater spending on mental health as a percentage of total spending on health in the country.[4]
Four studies around the world have found that increases in mental health legislation, training and services were associated with higher national suicide rates. This they say all points to 'the medicalisation of suicide'. Awareness campaigns tell people to seek help, antidepressants are prescribed as they are often a GP's only option.
For patient reports associating antidepressants with suicides, I ask the Scottish Government to visit www.antidepaware.co.uk where there are reports of more than 6750 self-inflicted deaths in England and Wales, all of which are related to use of antidepressants. The real fact is medical solutions – prescribing drugs – are easier than addressing complex socio –economic factors, but those medical solutions have unintended destructive effects of their own.
It all points to one thing; mental health awareness campaigns expose more people to adverse drug reactions. Mental health awareness campaigns are a double-edged sword. By creating awareness and encouraging people to seek mental health treatment we are often exposing them to treatment with antidepressants and other powerful psychiatric drugs – and their adverse effects as well as benefits.
It is now widely acknowledged that prescription drugs can put us at risk of dangerous adverse effects, most notably antidepressants and some other medication can raise the risk of suicide. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recognises that antidepressants can induce suicidal ideation in patients of all ages. This is why it recommends that antidepressants should be only used for 'moderate to severe depression'. [5] [6]
Are the Scottish Government aware that ever since they were linked to an increase in suicidal behaviours in young people more than a decade ago, all newer antidepressants, including Paroxetine (Seroxat), have carried a 'black box' warning label in the US? Reviewed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it states antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behaviour in children, teens and young adults under age 25.
When it comes to prescribing antidepressants to children under 18, additional guidelines have been put in place, so that NICE effectively regards them as a "last resort" option. The Scottish Government say they will ensure that all of the actions of the Suicide Prevention Action Plan consider the needs of children and young people. I urge the Scottish Government to warn people and medical professionals antidepressants might cause suicide ideation.[7]
Antidepressant–induced suicidal ideation, an adverse reaction overlooked in medical error, is an avoidable factor in suicide.
Drug-induced Akathisia, a tortuous symptom
Akathisia, a drug-induced state of acute physical and psychological agitation, puts patients at risk of suicide. Rather than contemplating and planning, Akathisia presents people with a tortuous fight to stay alive. Akathisia is so uncomfortable and so distressing and is so under-recognised by the medical profession that people often turn to suicide as their only option. They literally think they are losing their minds.
Severe anxiety, restlessness, agitation, psychosis caused by medication means a fight for life with little control over one's mind. Psychiatric drugs are not the only drugs that cause akathisia. People who take drugs such as anti-emetics (anti- nausea drugs), antibiotics, antipsychotics and opioids, may also experience akathisia and become suicidal – people who do not in any way have identifiable psychiatric disorders. [8]
Admittedly most doctors and healthcare workers do not understand Akathisia and symptoms of anxiety, agitation or suicidality are often diagnosed as a recurrence or worsening of illness, rather than to a drug-induced adverse event. Mentally and physically overwhelming, akathisia can make living intolerable to people who find no understanding from the medical profession.
Suicide-inducing akathisia, an adverse reaction to antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs overlooked in medical error, is an avoidable factor for suicide.[9]
Other adverse reactions from antidepressants
Animal studies demonstrate when initially given Fluoxetine (Prozac), an SSRI Antidepressant, the brain shuts down its own production of serotonin, causing a paradoxical effect or opposite effect on the level of serotonin.[10] The brain's chemistry wants to remain balanced and any disruption from SSRIs or other medications throws the brain off balance. When withdrawing from, changing dose or starting antidepressants what often results from this disturbance is described as like a 'rollercoaster effect'. A person's mood goes from consistently depressed to temporarily content to all over the place very quickly. It's for this reason the Food and Drug Administration requires 'Black box warnings' on all SSRIs. In short, the drugs 'create' a chemical imbalance rather than 'cure' one. It is at times of starting medication, increasing or lowering doses or switching antidepressants the imbalance most often occurs.
Lack of mental health understanding of and support for adverse reactions
Many have lost their fight to stay alive when their mind has been lost, gripped by suicide ideation, akathisia or other adverse effects of antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs. How many have called the Samaritans or NHS 24, to be misunderstood and asked "what is wrong with you?". They are often people in the Scottish Government's high risk groups; young and middle-aged men; people in the care of mental health services; people in criminal justice system; doctors, nurses, veterinary workers, farmers and agricultural workers; people with a history of self-harm but almost always they are people who are taking or withdrawing from psychotropic medication. They are ordinary people suffering from drug reactions, finding no help from their doctors or from help lines.
What the Scottish Government can do
It is vital the Scottish Government make it their responsibility to educate GPs, A and E staff, healthcare workers and charity telephone response workers to recognise and understand akathisia and other side effects of prescribed medication. No single theory can explain the complexities of suicide or suicidal behaviour, but recognising drug adverse effects that might cause people to be suicidal will at least remove that source of avoidable injury.
The cry "but those drugs save lives" does not exclude improving clinical care to reduce drug risks. The fact is, until Governments and the Medical Profession acknowledge the dangers of akathisia these drugs will take many more.
"It is about creating a culture that ensures that learning is taken from every death by suicide, in order to help prevent future suicides." say the Scottish Government. I would like to assist with this and ask anyone in Scotland who believes they have suffered from Akathisia or who may have information about an antidepressant related suicide to contact me at bthorpe@medconsulting.co.uk. I will never disclose confidential information without permission.

CEO Bob Iger announced his new policy at Disney's annual shareholder meeting in response to an investor question. He said that he will "absolutely prohibit" depiction of smoking in Disney films with a PG-13 rating or below, unless they involve an historical figure who smoked.
"I thought it was the right thing for us to do," he said about the decision — which he says he made over the last 48 hours.
But he stopped short of promising to lobby the MPAA to do the same for R-rated films. "We don't get involved in how MPAA applies ratings to films….nor do we try to influence the policies of the other studios we compete with," he said.
Iger's comments came on a day when Disney shares hovered near a 52-week high — and at a meeting where shareholders overwhelmingly supported management on some controversial governance issues.
Investors sided with Disney directors' compensation decisions — including Iger's $43.7 million package last year. They also defeated proposals to separate the CEO and Chairman jobs after Iger leaves, and to bar execs from accelerating their pay options if the company is bought.
Proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis and others urged shareholders to vote against management. But in the preliminary vote, 84% of the shares supported the executive compensation package — up from 80% who supported last year and about 60% the year before. Just 28% supported the move to split the CEO and chairman, and 24% wanted to limit exec pay when there's a change in control.

Flying Saucer beer bar in Columbia, SC!
Columbia, SC has a beautiful, walkable, and inviting downtown that includes a central business district with Gervais Street running east to west and Assembly Street cutting through north to south. There is also a popular shopping and entertainment area called Five Points -- named because of the five-tipped intersection of Santee, Harden, and Devine Streets, Five Points offers shopping, dining, and nightlife with live music. The beer culture in Columbia is supported by two brewpubs, some outstanding beer bars, and an energetic homebrew club called the Palmetto State Brewers. Print out this page, grab a hotel room in downtown Columbia, and prepare to set off on a lively pub crawl for the best beer this state capitol has to offer!
Owen always welcomes your e-mail and input.
Our Top Ten Beer Bars and Brewpubs!
What a unique brewpub in the center of downtown Columbia! Hunter-Gatherer is one of the first brewpubs to open in the state, and has achieved quite a devoted following of beer fans. This is a bohemian brewery/restaurant that features a diverse customer base and a fine lineup of beers that are mostly English ale styles with some influences from the west coast of the USA. The ESB is one of their best brews, and you'll usually also find a Pale Ale, Wheat Ale, and a seasonal brew. Food items are unique and quite tasty with salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and interesting entrees highlighting the menu. The stuffed, wild, African dog in the front window will welcome you to Hunter Gatherer with a friendly snarl.
Even though the Flying Saucer pubs are part of a chain of beer bars, they offer a fantastic place to experience a huge range of great quality beers. The Flying Saucer in Columbia is in the "Vista" area of downtown (along with Club House, Liberty Tap Room, and Mellow Mushroom) and is located in a large building that once housed a brewpub. The walls are adorned with hundreds of plates and saucers, and there are around 70 taps here plus almost 175 bottled beer selections. The waitresses (in short Scottish plaid skirts) and bartenders will be glad to give you a small sample of any beer that interests you, or you can try one of their beer sampler flights from around the world. Food is upscale pub grub.
Vista Brewing has been through more than one brewer and more than one set of owners since it originally opened in 1997. The brewpub is now called The Club House and the new owners have turned it into a sports bar restaurant of sorts. In December of 2004, the house-made beers here were the best they have been in years. There was an American Wheat (clean and dry), a Pale Ale (smooth and malty with a slight hop presence), and a Stout (dry and pleasantly roasty). Hopefully the new owners will see the value in their brewing equipment (pictured above) and continue to produce craft beer. The Club House has 12 plasma TVs, and you may enjoy burgers, sandwiches, steaks, and fish dishes while you watch. The stained glass at the bar is attractive and unique. The place opens at 4 pm M-F and at 11 am Saturday and Sunday.
This large new beer bar and restaurant in the Vista area offers 50 drafts and 30 bottles from which to choose. Beer standouts include Liberty's fresh ales and lagers that are contract brewed directly for the restaurant. Friendly hostesses and a huge, stained glass mural of the face of the Statue of Liberty greet you as you enter the front door. Gourmet burgers, chicken and crab sandwiches, steaks and chops, BBQ, grilled fish, and pizzas round out the food menu. Liberty is one of your best bets for a good beer and tasty food in downtown Columbia.
Located in the Vista area near Flying Saucer and Vista Brewing is a fine example of the Mellow Mushroom chain. This 'Shroom has a really nice set of taps and bottled beers to choose from; and if you have ever consumed the pizza and calzones from the Mellow Mushroom, you know how yummy they are.
Grab a taxi from the Vista area of downtown Columbia and take the short ride over to Five Points. Head first to Delaney's Music Pub and Eatery. Delaney's is a pub with an Irish theme that offers around 24 draft beers (including some fine regional microbrews). There is a bar up front with dining areas in the back that roll out some hearty pub fare. Check out the live music Tuesday through Saturday.
Jake's is a landmark for the locals in the Five Points area. This pub looks like a hole-in-the-wall from the outside, but be sure to step inside where you will find six TV's, three pool tables, 2 dart lanes, and a nice deck/patio area out back. Jake's has 50 taps and some really delicious wings, pizza, and fried menu specialties. This is a really popular place during big college football games that are being broadcast on the tube.
Publick House, 2307 Devine Street, ph: (803) 256-2207. I was not able to make it to this place, but I hear they have a very respectable beer selection and some of the very best chicken wings around.
Tavern on Greene, 2002 Greene Street (Five Points), ph: (803) 252-7265.

BPL Reveals Most-Borrowed Books of 2016
The annual list looks pretty similar to last year's.
By Madeline Bilis·	 12/12/2016, 12:04 p.m.
Keep your weekends full of the coolest things to do around Boston with our weekly Weekender newsletter.
It seems Bostonians' taste in books has not changed a whole lot since 2015.
The Boston Public Library has revealed which books made its Top 10 Most-Borrowed list this year, and it looks pretty similar to last year's.
Top 10 Most-Borrowed Titles in 2016
1. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
2. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney
4. Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
5. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
6. My Brilliant Friend, Book One: Childhood, Adolescence by Elena Ferrante
7. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
8. Wonder by R.J. Palacio
9. The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant
10. Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll
The top two most-borrowed books have flip-flopped since 2015—last year, The Girl on the Train was number one while All the Light We Cannot See was number two. Other repeats include The Boston Girl and another book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Boston likes what it likes, we suppose.
We certainly have good taste, considering Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See won both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction in 2015. The Girl on the Train has remained popular perhaps due to its film adaptation starring Emily Blunt, released in theaters in October 2016.
Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff is the first non-repeat on the list. The book, which examines a seemingly charmed marriage from two different perspectives, was borrowed 854 times this year. For contrast, All the Light We Cannot See at number one was borrowed 1,898 times.
Other highlights include Go Set a Watchman, the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, which has held on in popularity since it was released last year, as well as My Brilliant Friend, Book One: Childhood, Adolescence, by Elena Ferrante, an author under a pseudonym whose true identity was unmasked earlier this year.
You can browse all of the BPL's 2016 most-borrowed lists—and place holds on your favorite titles—at bpl.bibliocommons.com.

Tim Smith
Tim is a denizen of Calgary, Alberta, Canada and has been in nearly continuous operation for just over half a century. He spends his days lurking around a Federal Government office under the premise of being the assistant to somebody who also has the word 'Assistant' in his title. Recursive, but true.
Tim's heart has been rebooted once; as a result he is a cyborg. He is currently undertaking a first-hand study of the effects of diabetic neuropathy, with mixed results. Tim has a tendency to tip over when left unattended; through a combination of bloody-minded stubbornness and dumb luck he has managed to mitigate this trend in recent months.
Tim can be found regularly in the vicinity of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church , a parish of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. In his prior Anglican life, he self-published a book of daily devotions called an Anglican Catholic Liturgy of the Hours; his actual writing contribution to the book consists of the frontmatter.
Tim views the world with a sense of gallows humour: the darker the situation, the more likely he is to make light of it. It's a coping tool, and a right handy one at that.
Tim frequently uses the third person to describe himself because he finds it easier to treat his body, mind, and will as separate entities, especially given that they are so often at odds with one another.
Tim's Adages
It's more complicated than that.
If you feel miserable about your situation, the only change you have made is that now you feel miserable.
People are largely defined by the other people in their life.
Praise in public, correct in private where possible. Try not to criticize.
Forgive as much as you possibly can.
Always allow someone a way to save face.
Try to be the person you want to be; even if you don't succeed, you will be better for it.
Writer's Resolutions for 2014
I. Write no less than 104 "short short" (250-1500 word) stories during the calendar year 2014.
II. Attempt to write a novel composed entirely of short stories from I above.
III. See if any of the pen & paper RPG plots or game settings I've invented over the years
would make interesting stories in their own right.
IV. Try to entertain and inspire others as much as it is in me to do.
V. To be more critical of myself, not for hurtful purposes but to encourage growth.
VI. Bring back roman numerals.

По́лбы, или полбяные пшеницы, — группа видов рода  с плёнчатым зерном и с ломкими колосьями.

К полбе относят как дикие виды: , , ; так и культурные: , , спельту (Triticum spelta), , . Из видов, относимых к полбе, чаще всего культивируется двузернянка.

Полба отличается зерном с невымолачиваемыми плёнками, ломкостью колоса, неприхотливостью, скороспелостью, большинство видов устойчивы к грибковым заболеваниям.

Культивирование
Полба была широко распространённой на заре человеческой цивилизации зерновой культурой.

Область происхождения (предположительно) — Средиземноморье. Выращивалась в Древнем Египте, Малой Азии, Армении, Вавилоне и других местах. Наиболее древние находки полбы датируются 6–5 тысячелетием до н. э. и расположены в долинах горной цепи Арарат, на территории нынешней Турции и западной Армении. Более поздние находки: Болгария — 3700 г. до н. э., Польша и южная Швеция — 2500–1700 г. до н. э.

В России полба возделывалась в Волго-Камском регионе, где полбу выращивали главным образом марийцы, чуваши, башкиры, татары и удмурты; на Кавказе её возделывали армяне, лезгины, хевсуры и осетины; на Пиренеях полба разводится басками.

Позднее была вытеснена хоть и гораздо более требовательной к климату и менее устойчивой к болезням, но значительно более урожайной , и в настоящее время занимает незначительную долю мировых посевных площадей.

В литературе

Упоминается А. С. Пушкиным в «Сказке о попе и о работнике его Балде»:

Есть же мне давай варёную полбу.

Также у Гомера в «Одиссее»:

К яслям в конюшне они поводьями их привязали,
Полбу засыпали в ясли и к ней ячменю подмешали.

Упоминание предназначения в Библии ():

Нет; когда уровняет поверхность её, он сеет чернуху, или рассыпает тмин, или разбрасывает пшеницу рядами, и ячмень в определённом месте, и полбу рядом с ним.

Книга Исход указывает на то, что полба наряду с пшеницей считались поздними культурами ():

Лён и ячмень были побиты, потому что ячмень выколосился, а лён осеменился; а пшеница и полба не побиты, потому что они были поздние.

I have tried and loved several different teas from Paper Box Goodies and I think this is one of the last ones I still needed to try. I was very intrigued by this one. . .A white tea take on chai!
Paper Box Goodies is a no nonsense tea store on Etsy. I love Leslie's teas. These are one of the few bagged teas that I will recommend. I'm not a tea snob, just prefer loose leaf tea.
Elderberry Jam White: This white tea is deep and dark, with a fruity, slightly spicy taste. A mix of elderberry, blueberry, cinnamon, apple, and blackberry, this tea should be steeped for 2 minutes for the best flavor.
What I love most about Paper Box Goodies tea bags is the attention to detail that is given to each one. Each tea bag has a hand written description of the tea along with an adorable shrinky dink that I'm saving to do something crafty with one day. These teas are put together with love, you can tell.
These tea bags are so fun to watch while they steep. Unlike tea bags you buy at the store, these tea bags seem to magically disappear and you get to see all the fun ingredients in the tea bag.
Prepared this tea according to the instructions on the tag and took my first sip, indulging in the chai like fragrances coming from the brew.
This tea is a nice simple sweet chai. Not overly spiced-my kind of chai. You can tell this tea is a chai, but the flavors are so gentle that I can't pick apart each flavor. They just seem to melt together into the cuppa, which isn't bad.
What I was really hoping for was to be able to pick up the white tea base. Sadly, I did not. The chai flavors may have overwhelmed any kind of floral notes that may have popped thru. I think this is my least favorite of the teas I have tried from Paper Box Goodies but saying that I still had no problem finishing the cup. I don't see myself needing more of this particular tea. It was good, just not something I would need to try again.
What I do see myself doing is picking up some of the newer flavors I'm seeing on the Paper Box Goodies site. Leslie @ Paper Box Goodies has beyond impressed me with her teas and I love the convenience of having these teas as a bagged tea. These are some of the only bagged teas I found myself drinking anymore.
So far all of those beginning tea drinkers or people that pick up teas at the grocery store. . .give these teas a try. These teas are a bit more expensive, but you will have the added benefit of steeping these teas a few times instead of only using the tea bag once. Plus, they will taste better. I guarantee you won't regret your purchase. I can't wait until I can pick up more of her teas!
Awesome! These I can buy since they are bagged. Hooray! The tags look adorable. I'm going to browse her site right now…thank you!
I highly recommend the Snozberry ones. They are Willy Wonka inspired I believe. 🙂 Woohoo! I'm converting you to tea!
I really enjoy your reviews Nichole!
I'm not a big chai fan. The apple pie tea sounds delicious though!
I love how they pay attention to the details! That handwritten label and the sleeve are top!
I just discovered my love for chai so this one sounds great! I also love that the bags disappear so you can see the ingredients. How cool!

InnerCity Weightlifting
2012 Social Innovator
Social Issue:

Prospectus (PDF)
Pitch Video
When InnerCity Weightlifting (ICW) joined the 2012 Social Innovator cohort, the organization had an exciting concept and a visionary leader in Founder and Executive Director Jon Feinman. With the support of a few funders and a budget of around $250,000, the organization served 83 students per year working out of YMCAs and other local gyms.
SIF helped us to think strategically, communicate our story, and measure success for our students.
ICW had already seen the impact of its program as its students spent less time on the streets and more time in the gym working toward positive goals. What the organization needed was help sharing its message with a wider audience and establishing its reputation as an organization that was worthy of investment.
InnerCity Weightlifting worked with its SIF consultant to shape its plan for growth and to develop materials that would help share its work with potential investors – including an audience of over 300 people at the 2012 Social Innovator Showcase.
The SIF team also helped the organization build its fundraising capacity through hands-on support around event management, relationship building and other development best practices.
"SIF helped us to think strategically, communicate our story, and measure success for our students," said Jon Feinman, ICW Founder and Executive Director, InnerCity Weightlifting. "Then SIF introduced us to a network that made our growth possible."
Being part of the SIF portfolio gave InnerCity Weightlifting access to a broad network of potential supporters as well as the credibility needed to attract the attention of traditional funders. Within six months of completing the SIF engagement, InnerCity Weightlifting had nearly doubled its budget to $500,000 and opened its first gym in Dorchester. The gym not only serves as a place to train, it is also a place where ICW students come to find hope and opportunity.
Jon Feinman has remained an active member of the SIF community, taking advantage of opportunities to showcase his organization's work at SIF events, grow his network and build connections. SIF remains a "go-to" resource and partner. In 2014, when ICW wanted to expand further, a SIF referral helped the organization secure a $400,000 commitment to support a second location in Kendall Square.
Today, InnerCity Weightlifting has a budget of $1 million, serves more than 250 students each year and has attracted a roster of 350 individual and corporate personal training clients whose sessions support the work of student trainers. With a 78% reduction in arrests for violent crimes after joining the program and 90% rate of reporting increased hope for the future, InnerCity Weightlifting student trainers are increasingly saying "no" to violence and "yes" to opportunity.

A mild and common form of gum disease, gingivitis results in the redness, inflammation and irritation of your gums. Often because it is mild, it goes undetected in patients. It is, however, a serious condition as it can lead to eventual tooth loss if it remains undetected for an extended period of time. We encourage you to continue reading below to learn more about the signs of gingivitis and some treatment tips to ensure that you fight gum disease.
Gums that feel tender, soft, puffy, or swollen.
Gums that are a dusky red instead of a healthy pink.
With poor oral hygiene being the main cause of gingivitis, the first thing you should focus on for treatment is practicing good oral health habits. This includes brushing a minimum of twice a day, flossing at least once a day, and receiving regular dental checkups and professional cleanings. The dental checkup is crucial because we can demonstrate to you the proper techniques for brushing and flossing; improper technique could be why the gingivitis is occurring. A proper dental cleaning also allows for the plaque and tartar to be removed—taking out the main causes behind gingivitis.
You should have a better idea of what gingivitis can do to a person now. If you have any questions regarding what you've read, please contact us as we'd be happy to help answer your questions and address your concerns. You can make an appointment with our Pittsburgh, PA, office to get an examination for gum disease, a teeth cleaning, or any other procedure that you need. Silberg Center for Dental Science is to help you and your family with keeping their mouths happy and healthy – ensuring that you're well equipped against gingivitis.

Elon Musk's 'erratic behavior' continues to rattle Wall Street

Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk takes a drag from a cigarette laced with marijuana in this screenshot from the Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2018.
CLICK HERE if you are having a problem viewing the photos on a mobile device
The behavior of Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk is having more of an impact on Wall Street's view of the company, as another analyst has come out with a critical opinion of the actions of the man who is the face of the iconic electric-car maker.
On Tuesday, Nomura Instinet analyst Romit Shah cut his rating on Tesla to neutral from buy, and slashed his target price on the company's stock to $300 a share from $400. But what was probably more notable than Shah's lowering his rating and stock price were some of his comments about the state of Musk's leadership of Tesla.
In a research note titled, "No Longer Investable," Shah said the biggest issue facing Tesla is the "erratic behavior" of Musk, which Shah said could be "tainting the Tesla brand." Shah mentioned some of Musk's actions in recent months–such as last week's appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast in which Musk's smoked a cigarette that Rogan said was laced with marijuana–as damaging to the most valuable asset Tesla has, its brand.
"The only comparable to Tesla's brand recognition is Apple, in our view," Shah said. "What Apple taught us is that, once brand recognition is established, consumer behavior can begin to deviate from traditional economics in ways that benefit the company immensely."
Shah's view of Tesla came a week after Goldman Sachs analyst David Tamberrino said he expects Tesla's share price to fall by more than 30 percent over the next six months. Tesla shares closed Tuesday with a loss of 2.1 percent at $279.44
Shah said Musk's actions are taking attention away from Tesla's business, which he said is set up well for future growth, but that growth could be affected by Musk's behavior. "Tesla is positioned to deliver unprecedented revenue growth and accrue substantial profits," Shah said, citing the company saying it's on track to more than double deliveries of cars in the third quarter to more than 80,000 vehicles. Shah also said he expects Tesla's revenue to reach $22 billion in 2018, up from $12 billion last year.
Still, Shah said that until Musk tones down his erratic behavior, or the company finds a new CEO, it might be time to avoid Tesla stock as an investment.

"Notwithstanding improving fundamentals, we believe that Tesla is in need of better leadership, an about face, and are moving to the sidelines until we see what happens with management," Shah said.
Separately, Musk said Tesla would drop two of its standard seven car colors as part of an effort to streamline vehicle production.

Perhaps my favorite was a repost from CBS in Philly about "A new survey shows that people prefer their hot chocolate in an orange mug." In July. In Orlando.
Now, to be fair, a huge part of the problem was that the Digital people in the cluster had excised Programming and Promotions from the equation and they were denied access to the stations' social media. So, on Friday they'd line up a queue of very exciting auto-posts like "Rihanna says that even fame can't get her to eat broccoli" and then leave at 5 on the nose.
Because nothing happens on weekends, right? Except for things like the Grammys and the Superbowl and the odd natural disaster. Following the Pulse shooting it took the Program Director fourteen hours to break into his own Facebook and turn off the auto-posts and begin to create content relevant to the tragedy.
A testament to the effectiveness of this strategy was that Jamz had 42,000 followers and that number didn't vary up or down by more than 100 for four years. One day I checked in and they had an engaged/reach number of something like 31 people. Conversely Jammin' in New London with their 19,000 followers had a number of 57,000.
I'm not Lori Lewis but as a casual observer it appeared that in Connecticut they were on Facebook in real time, posting like people do (not Radio, but "people") on Facebook. Questions. Silly photos. Shared memes. News of events that were happening in the community. And these posts were getting numbers and replies. Comments are good. "Kate Hudson shares another adorable photo of baby Rani!" doesn't really incite the kind of motivation that is required for people to chime in. And again, the numbers are there. You just have to look. If you have 150,000 likes and 139,000 followers and no one in 24 hours cares enough to click "like" on the Katy post, than it's just taking up space.
Do we need continual 24/7 social media content? Absolutely. Are we limited in the number of bodies who can help us achieve that? Also absolutely. I'm not anti-auto-post too much, but just put a tiny bit of effort into it.
For example, when the 49'ers were in the Super Bowl, during the game no-less, I saw a San Francisco station with "Here are Boston's ten best bars for watching the Big Game!". This was in the 1st quarter and that was pretty much their acknowledgement of the Game that at that moment had their market sideways. Again, Digital didn't work weekends…
So, you need to run these posts. Okay. I get it. But there are also times when someone needs to step in and POP THEM. If the eye of a Tropical Storm is rotating above your market, schools are closed, roads are closed, fatalities have occurred and something about Dove Carpenter's vitamin deficiency pops up, it's likely that people will look askance at it.
Hot 89.9 in Ottawa is by anyone's standard or metric, a great great radio station. And yes, they have auto-posts. But when unexpectedly severe weather tore through the region in September and knocked out power to 250,000 households, Jeunesse, who does Nights, realized that maybe…no one would care about some of the stuff that was lined up to post.
So she deleted it all and went live on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with updates, info, listeners photos and stories, and over the next 24 hour as the market came to terms with the destruction, pulled some of the highest numbers that Hot's had in a year.
A day on social media should be like a series of plays on a football field: a strategic mix of passes and runs that keep the opponents second guessing the next move. Your audience should feel almost required to check your pages every day because they could miss something. It's the same formula that great TV shows have.

Quebec student demands a riot

While it would appear at first blush to have been lost in translation, it seems both sides of the two solitudes claim Quebec Premier Jean Charest actually said "everyone comes out of this a winner" as a result of the student unrest inflicted upon his province.
How can this be so?
Surely those caught in the middle of the multitude of student riots in Montreal do not feel like winners, especially now that the tentative agreement is disintegrating.
Surely the businesses that had windows smashed, their merchandise looted and their delivery trucks set afire do not feel like winners.
But Premier Charest says they are.
What kind of message does this send?
That if civil disobedience does not work, ramp it up to violent criminal behaviour?
In an increasingly politically correct world, it is increasingly obvious that politicians are becoming less willing to do the correct thing.
This allows rule through unruliness to gain momentum, just as the word "strike" was bastardized to describe the students' wild boycott of their post-secondary education.
For 80-plus days, for example, the Rest of Canada watched their nightly news as up to 180,000 Quebec university students took to the streets to protest a proposed tuition hike that, even when fully implemented in 2019, would still leave them paying arguably the lowest rates for post-secondary education in all of Canada.
And over what? Over $254 a year? Over what would surely be considerably less than this Entitlement Generation's latte bill at Starbucks over the same period of time?
It would appear so.
According to the agreement, which would freeze any tuition hike until at least December, the Charest government would create a "provisional council" to determine if and how universities can cut their budgets.
But here's the skinny that's so laughable.
While the tuition fees may actually rise by a total of $1,778 over seven years – or $127 a semester – the money will most likely not come out of students' pockets at all, but out of the budgets of the schools they attend.
In other words, the Charest government caved to thuggery, and even that may not work out.
The city of Montreal, meanwhile, was the venue for more than 200 protest marches, many of which were strategically aimed at causing the most disruption possible.
Bridges were blocked, as were ports, main roads and the Montreal subway system.
Smashed storefronts and torched cars were de rigueur.
And what about the young man who lost the use of an eye when the student demonstration turned ugly in Victoriaville, Que., leading to the arrest of
106 on charges of illegal assembly and participating in a riot?
Does he feel like a winner?
At least four Quebec coppers and seven demonstrators were injured in that Victoriaville fracas, as police finally turned to tear gas, sound grenades and rubber bullets to combat the protesters who were tossing cans, rocks and billiard balls.
That's right, billiard balls. Not cheap, by the way.
A set of Super Aramith Pro-Cup balls, for example, which are made out of phenolic resin and used worldwide in virtually all official billiard tournaments, begin at $249.95.
Perhaps the rioters used pre-owned balls to play bop-a-cop.
Fifty bucks a set seems to be the average price online.
But who was getting the bad press?
The cops, of course, even though there are pictures showing a bunch of thugs putting the fists and the boots to a downed police officer.
After almost three months of unabated lawlessness and very little action by government, however, it took a non-stop 22 hours of negotiations for Charest's Liberals to reach its tentative truce with students, and for him to then proclaim that "everyone comes out of this a winner." By then, the French CBC had turned the three student organizers into rock stars – particularly 21-year-old history major, and No. 1 militant, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois – by pumping them up to maximum capacity on Radio-Canada's prized talk show, Tout le monde en parle.
Yes, but wasn't the sweet smell of victory intoxicating?
It was so sweet, in fact, that Charest immediately accused his main political opponent, Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois, of lacking the leadership qualities he apparently possesses to deal with such a crisis, and used this as an excuse not to call the election most Quebecers want.
It may be one of the first times in history, however, that the sweet smell of victory in Quebec had a somewhat fishy after-whiff.
As they say down by the docks, s'il sent comme le poisson …
Or words to that effect.

Gary Johnson: What I Like
The other day, I said I would post what I did like about Gary Johnson, the presidential candidate I did vote for, rather than what I didn't like about Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.
It took longer than I intended, but as Horton the Elephant said, "I meant what I said and I said what I meant." So here goes...
*Civil Liberties-This is the absolute biggie. Our nation, from its very beginning, has emphasized the personal freedom of its citizens. In the aftermath of 9/11, various "anti-terrorist" measures jeopardized those freedoms our Founding Fathers fought so hard to attain, freedoms protected and expanded by the hard work and sacrifice of those who came later. The federal government has used its police powers to demand library reading records without a judicial warrant and detained an American citizen without trial. Although some of the most dangerous provisions have been recently struck down, others remain in place and the parts that were ruled unconstitutional might still return, as the Obama Administration has appealed. Johnson said he would not have signed the Patriot Act and the later National Defense Authorization Act that have threatened American liberties.
What good is defeating the Islamists of al-Qaeda whose demands go beyond the U.S. not having bases in the land of Mecca and Medina, all the way to demanding we convert to Islam and abolish separation of church and state if we end up becoming a police state at home?
*Free Trade-At different points in the past, I have praised Obama for supporting free-trade agreements with other nations like South Korea, Panama, and Colombia. I read a book in high school entitled The End of Globalization: Lessons from the Great Depression about the Great Depression and how tariff walls and despotic autarkic regimes like the fascists and Nazis made things worse. There's an adage, "If goods don't cross borders, armies will" and although that doesn't always hold true (people thought the First World War was impossible due to intra-European trading relationships), economic integration has contributed to the cooling of tensions between the United States and China that led to war scares in the late 1990s and things like the capture of a U.S. spy plane by the Chinese early in the Bush presidency. Johnson has strongly committed to free trade.
*Foreign Policy-To be perfectly blunt, war sucks. War is evil. War is dead men (and women), or mangled men and women whose lives will be diminished forever afterward. War is broken families. War is burned houses and cities. War destroys rather than creates. I shed no tears for Saddam Hussein and his two evil sons, but the cost to the United States of the Iraq adventure has been enormous, in terms of money, lives, and America's strategic position.
I am not so naive as to believe the outcome of beating our swords into plowshares will lead to anything but us plowing for those who don't, but that doesn't mean we should go looking for trouble. Bin Laden is dead and the Cold War is over and an interventionist foreign policy is something we are increasingly unable to afford. It's time to re-evaluate our foreign policy priorities. Full-blown withdrawal from everywhere in the world is not practical--for starters, the U.S. Navy guarantees freedom of the seas for all countries--but there are plenty of areas where cuts can be made that leave us strong enough to deal with legitimate threats. Gary Johnson has explicitly stated he is not interested in picking a fight with Iran, which could turn into a bloodbath and strategic disaster.
*The War on Drugs-Let the record state I do not use any recreational pharmaceuticals. In fact, I do not even drink alcohol or coffee. However, the Drug War has jeopardized Americans' freedoms in various ways (asset forfeiture abuses are a biggie) and cost vast amounts of money. Drug arrests often set otherwise-harmless people on the road to becoming hard-core criminals. Prohibition of alcohol failed; why would doing the same for, say, marijuana, be any better? Johnson has advocated legalizing, regulating, and taxing currently-illegal narcotics. Legalizing and taxing marijuana would save billions of dollars and generate billions more in tax revenue.
I could post some more, but I have some more urgent projects I need to work on. Don't forget to vote tomorrow, or today if the lines aren't too long.

My own reason for supporting him is his improvement to Veteran's Benefits and the like. His Civil Liberties stance won me over as well.
Stienberg November 5, 2012 at 1:15 PM
His stance on striking down the Patriot Act and the National Defence Authorization Act would have won me over in a heartbeat were I an American. That's the kind of promise I'd like to hear my leaders make, especially concerning things like the useless drug war.
What I've come to realize, based on my own observations of politics, is that what one promises and what one accomplishes are two very different things. I remember Obama being big on shutting down Guantanamo, but the attempt and, I'm sure, some nasty security briefings convinced him that security was more important.
Matt November 5, 2012 at 7:26 PM
Re: Gitmo, the impression I had was that Congress refused to vote for any funds to move the prisoners anywhere or hold civilian trials for them.
However, I think the idea to hold a civilian trial for Khalid Sheikh Monhammed in New York City for 9/11 was scrapped because people thought it would be this horribly disruptive circus that could provoke violence.

Pavol Vido: What we know about suspect in deputy involved shooting
LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities say 65-year-old Pavol Vido was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after investigators said he killed one person and injured 3 others, including a deputy, in Liberty County.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted on Facebook that their scent dogs found Vido hiding under a boat. Deputies said Vido shot himself when they confronted him.
The Liberty County Sheriff's Office deputy was shot in the neck at the Big Thicket Veterinary Clinic Wednesday morning, officials say.
Deputy Richard Whitten was taken to the hospital by Life Flight.
Authorities say multiple people were also shot at the B Dependable Plumbing business at 26311 Highway 321.
According to officials, Vido was living in a metal container behind the business. In the last month, the sheriff's office served Vido eviction papers.
The people who own the land where Vido was living are connected to the plumbing business, authorities say.
A secretary at the plumbing business was found dead inside the building. Officials believe she was killed on Tuesday.
At some point, two other people were shot. There's no word on their conditions.
Vido has had multiple run-ins with the law over the last two decades. He has been previously arrested for unlawful carry of a weapon, DWI, aggravated assault, evading arrest and deadly conduct.

I have a 2 1/2 year old who has had a persistent cough since her viral infection in February, however no chest infection but lots of coughing at night etc. The Doctor referred us to the Asthma nurse and she prescribed Qvar 100, two puffs twice a day, plus Salbutamol when required. The inhaler worked immediatly, no coughing from the second day of use, so brilliant. I have however been worried about the use of corticosteroids and note that the dosage my little girl is on seems rather high for her age. Is this dosage normal for a two year old just starting out on inhalers?
Also, I have another daughter who has just developed Chicken Pox, should we discontinue use of the Qvar?
With asthma the salbutamol should work within a few minutes, but the QVAR will take a few weeks. I'd imagine they want to gain control and then reduce.
Long term ics issues are pretty rare from what I've heard and its better to have asthma controlled than risk a severe exacerbation.
I *think* the chickenpox advice is when on high doses of steroids for a long period of time, such as maintenance oral steroids.
If you have any concerns though, I'd advise contacting gp, writing a list of questions and writing down the answers.
I just wanted to say that there's a big difference between pressing the pump and the drug being in the body - generally with small children the amount of the drug that reaches the lungs is much smaller than the official dose written on the inhaler. I've known toddlers who were on ""a higher dose"" than their six or seven year old siblings (who could use the inhaler more effectively so needed fewer squirts or a weaker drug).
As Lollie says, there are major differences between inhaled steroids and oral steroids - the inhaler will be a tiny dose compared to an oral steroid.
You should make sure to rinse her mouth and ideally brush her teeth after using the steroid inhaler.
However, the fact that things are much better after just 2 days might be a sign that the Qvar isn't needed. I'd give your asthma nurse a ring - as others have said it typically takes weeks to have an effect. Are you using the blue inhaler as well? If so then they will probably want you to carry on with the Qvar anyway as the aim of the preventer is to stop you from having to use the reliever other than very occasionally.
You really should be free to discuss these concerns with your asthma nurse as well - and the asthma uk helpline is great for specific advice.
Like lollie said, I'd also suggest that they're starting with a high dose to gain control and then reduce the dose at your next review. If you've not got a scheduled review then I'd suggest making another appointment with the nurse.
The Doctor referred us to the Asthma nurse and she prescribed Qvar 100, two puffs twice a day, plus Salbutamol when required. The inhaler worked immediatly, no coughing from the second day of use, so brilliant. I have however been worried about the use of corticosteroids and note that the dosage my little girl is on seems rather high for her age. .
Qvar takes between 2 weeks and 6 weeks to work so I doubt it could work in two days. Perhaps you should go back to the asthma nurse and tell her this as you don't want a toddler to be taking a medication that she doesn't need so much of and that she could step down to a lower dose. As well, I too would be concerned about a toddler on that high a dose if the toddler were mine. There are a number of precautions to take note of with Qvar and it says in the leaflet it can affect a child's growth. I too am on Qvar and although I am not a toddler I am having my bone density checked as I already have osteoporosis and it can cause loss of bone density. Saying that, it is much safer than oral steroids.
is possible to stop taking qvar?!?!

Jack Liu is interviewed on Impact 89 FM's Exposure show, which aired live Tuesday evening (Jan. 26), to talk about pandas in Wolong and what we mean when we say "coupled human and natural systems."
Listen to the chat with host Abbie Newton. Jack's portion is between 4 minutes and 15:30 minutes.
CSIS students are special. Just ask the MSU Graduate School.
Doctoral student Abigail Lynch discusses her numerous fellowships and awards in a new video on the school's YouTube site.
To restore forests and protect the remaining natural forests, the Chinese government initiated two nationwide conservation policies in the late 1990s – the Natural Forest Conservation Program (NFCP) and the Grain-To-Green Program (GTGP). But did they work?
Jack Liu had his paparazzi moment in Beijing, strolling near Tienamen Square last week filling a Spartans Will 360 crew in on the work he'd be showing them at the Wolong Nature Reserve.
CSIS Director Jianguo "Jack" Liu has continuously conducted research for 17 years in the Wolong Nature Reserve in southwestern China, integrating ecology with socioeconomics, demography and other disciplines to look at ecological sustainability from local, national to global scales. Read about his work in the latest Spartans Will. 360 story.
A panda's extreme level of cuteness is no defense in the harsh real world.
The battle to save giant pandas has shifted from breeding -- they have that down pat in Wolong -- to a two-prong approach based partly in China, partly at Michigan State University.
The objective: Produce rough-and-ready pandas that can survive in the wild.
CSIS members William Taylor, University Distinguished Professor in global fisheries systems, and Abigail Lynch, fisheries and wildlife doctoral student, answer that question and more in a guest column in the latest issue of Fisheries.
Individuals and households have the potential to change U.S. energy consumption, but to tap this potential, energy policies need to integrate behavioral and social science research about what drives human behavior, according to a CSIS researcher.
Emilio F. Moran, a pioneer in the field of environmental research, will join the Michigan State University faculty today, as well as CSIS.
Moran, recruited from Indiana University, is one of only a few anthropologists worldwide to address the complex relationship between people and environmental change. He is the 11th Spartan that is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
