Supporting new businesses to start and scale-up in the UK
Morning, Wednesday, 9th October 2019
THIS EVENT IS CPD CERTIFIED
This seminar will examine the priorities for policy if the Government is to achieve its aim - set out in the Industrial Strategy - of making 'the UK the best place to start and grow a business'.
A major focus for the morning is what more needs to be done to encourage potential entrepreneurs to start a business in the UK.
Policymakers and stakeholders will also discuss what more entrepreneurs need from government to help build an environment where small businesses can thrive - including issues relating to access to finance, IP registration, taxation, and business support such as Growth Hubs.
The agenda and keynote speakers
Priorities for policymakers to support small business - with Emma Jones, Founder, Enterprise Nation and Co-Chair, Prime Minister's Small Business, Scale Ups and Entrepreneurs Council;
Tapping into the unrealised potential of female entrepreneurs - with Alison Rose, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, NatWest Holdings; Chief Executive Officer, Commercial & Private Banking, RBS and Lead, Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship;
Fostering an enterprise culture in the next generation - with Stuart Thomason, Chief Executive, Business Launchpad; and
Financial support for start-ups and scale-ups - with Alice Hu Wagner, Managing Director, Strategy, Economics and Business Development, British Business Bank.
Panel sessions to include
Encouraging future entrepreneurs - the role of enterprise education, mentors and the appeal of social enterprise;
Supporting entrepreneurs to overcome challenges of starting and scaling-up a business - IP, finance and networks.
The conference follows government announcements including:
The response to the findings of the Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship:
A new review aiming to investigate obstacles and propose solutions to support enterprising young people from all backgrounds to set up their own business; and
£200m government support through the British Business Bank's venture capital and growth finance funding partners for innovative, high growth businesses.
Sessions will examine the recommendations of the Rose Review which called for the finance industry to improve transparency around investment decisions and pledge to better support female-led start-ups as well as introducing new products which aid entrepreneurs with caring responsibilities.
Delegates will discuss how the sector responds and the next steps for policy as Government's formal response set itself a new target of increasing the number of female entrepreneurs by half by 2030.
With the Stace Review on barriers preventing young people from starting up a business due to report in summer, the conference will be a timely opportunity to consider the Review's recommendations - in particular how to improve support for prospective entrepreneurs from low-income and other disadvantaged backgrounds.
Delegates will also examine the state of enterprise education in schools and colleges - in light of the Rose Review's call for the business community to increase the resources available to education providers to teach about starting a business - and how the role that universities play as incubators for student and graduate entrepreneurs might be expanded.
The practical steps that LEPs, careers guidance providers, local authorities and other bodies can take to provide support and mentoring for start-ups will also be discussed, in light of the roll-out of LEP-led Growth Hubs and the Rose Review's call to expand existing networking platforms to improve the reach and impact of mentoring nationwide.
We expect discussion on the growth of the social enterprise movement and its impact on engaging a wider pool of prospective entrepreneurs than are currently attracted by traditional business models - as well as how awareness of social enterprise as an option can be grown.
Further sessions will address the challenge of improving access to finance both for start-ups and scale-ups, including the impact so far of start-up loans and the British Business Bank's funds for scale-ups as well as the wider current landscape for start-up finance such as accelerator schemes, business angels and crowd-funding. What more can be done to increase early stage finance will be central to discussion as well the support entrepreneurs need to enable them to choose the right type of investor, make sure they have the right amount of finance at the right time and know what investors are looking for in a start-up business.
The conference will also provide an opportunity to discuss how policymakers and the business community can address wider issues affecting start-ups and scale-ups in the UK including:
issues relating to access to property;
taxation, IP and other legal compliance considerations;
becoming an employer; and
identifying and addressing the most high risk points for businesses seeking to scale-up.

Q: Is it possible to add response http headers in web.config? In my application I need to set a http response header. I'd like to do this in web.config.

A: The best way to do this would be the <customHeaders> element of the web.config file. Note that this only works for IIS version 7 and above.
The configuration to add your example header would be:
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <add name="Content-Language" value="*" />
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

For more information see the IIS "Custom Headers" Configuration Reference page

A: Solution
Finally, after a long search I found the solution. Create a class with this code:
public class myHTTPHeaderModule : IHttpModule
{

    #region IHttpModule Members

    public void Dispose()
    {

    }

    public void Init(HttpApplication context)
    {
        context.EndRequest += new EventHandler(context_EndRequest);
    }

    void context_EndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;

        response.AddHeader("Content-Language", "*");

    }

    #endregion
}

(Don't ask me why to use this event, but it works..)
Now add a line in web.config in the HttpModule section:
    <httpModules>
        <add type="namespace.myHTTPHeaderModule, assembly name" name="headers" />
        <add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
    </httpModules>

And that's it!

A: You can always add an item to the configuration.appSettings section.
Then your master page, custom base page class, or a specific page can set those http headers by reading from the web.config

A: I'm not aware that you can do it on the web.config
So far I know the best options you have are:

*

*Create an HTTPModule where you set the header for all responses

*Add the header on the IIS

Here you have the reference on MSDN:
Custom HttpModule Example
This link has an implementation of an HTTPModule that seems to be what you need
http://idunno.org/archive/2006/08/01/252.aspx

A: I believe none of the answers here are comprehensive, so here's mine:
Please see my blog post on how to add a custom HTTP module to add/remove HTTP headers here. Although the issue I was trying to solve was different but I too needed to add/remove HTTP headers. A gist of the blog post is as follows:
The event to do this in is HttpContext.PreSendRequestHeaders. You can also do this from IIS settings or IIS's config as shown on IIS Knowledge base. This config file (applicationHost.config) is located at %WinDir%\System32\Inetsrv\Config\applicationHost.config for a default installation.

A: There is no built-in functionality that does this
You can make an HttpModule that reads headers from web.config and adds them to the response.

Yukinaga Do
Dojo News
Yukimura Haruki
雪村春樹
Yukimura Haruki had already as a child a great interest in Kinbaku.
As a young photographer Yukimura soon began using rope art in his work, and his images and film was changing and became of a more erotic nature.
Over time Yukimura spent more time tying rope in front of a camera than actual photographing. Today Yukimura is behind the production of at least 3000 Kinbaku movie and several Kinbaku books of a very high standard. In addition to his professional business, Yukimura also taught his friends in various techniques and taught them how to communicate with their partner using rope only. Yukimura developed a unique binding technique, which today is known as Newaza.
Within the last 10 years Yukimura has allowed a number of western people to obtain insight into these special techniques. In 2012, a workshop was held in Copenhagen Shibari Dojo. More than 50 participants from around the world were taught by Yukimura. It was the first time Yukimura was teaching outside Japan.
In Japan, Yukimura is a highly respected Bakushi. A Bakushi is a rope artist, and a large number of Japanese Bakushi'er (those known in the West) have all been passing through Yukimuras gym.
In Japan, binding techniques are used to generate "shame" on the bound partner. – Also called shuuchinawa. It is this special facial expressions characterized by humiliation and shame that the Japanese like – That's why the undisputed king of shuuchinawa is Grand Master Yukimura Haruki.
Yukimura Ryu
Learning the Yukimura way of rope play.
The Yukimura-Ryu, or Yukimura way of tying, is different from the hard, torturous sort of rope bondage that is called semenawa in Japanese. The Yukimura way of tying is a gentle, loving style of bondage that I call aibu no nawa (caressing rope) I have developed my style of tying to give the partner more stimulation and pleasure from the rope. Caressing rope is all about love, but don't be fooled by the name: it is also diabolical.
Over the years, while teaching friends to tie, I have learned how to teach my style of tying in ways that are easy to understand. It is my hope that learning the Yukimura way of rope play will enrich your relationship with your partner and help you both find new ways to expressing your emotions and love.
"Caressing with rope" means to tie using your control of the tension on the rope to transmit your emotions to your partner. How much love can be expressed in the few square meters in which you tie your partner? How much anticipation can you create?
There are three essential elements in the Yukimura Way of Rope:
Controlling the tension on the ends of the rope. (Nawa-jiri)
The tie you select.
Admiring and appreciating the pose in which you tie your partner.
Proper control of the ends of the rope involves use of the angle of the rope between you and your partner; the distance you place between you and your partner, and the tension you keep on the rope.
I use three types of ties: ties that change and evolve: ties that utilize an anchor point, and ties that do not use an anchor point. The best place for the "Rigger" to stand is either behind or next to the model. Please keep in mind that there are more than 100 possible positions. Once you have learned the basics, please develop and enjoy you own style.
Proper appreciation takes into account the position from which you admire your partner, including the distance at which you position yourself. The way you speak to your partner during and after the tying is also very important. Do you whisper sweet words? Do you say things that will embarrass your partner? Do you utilize verbal humiliation?
In the Yukimura Way of tying you use all three elements to communicate and exchange emotions with you partner. There is no limit to the possible combinations once you have learned the basic foundation of Yukimura Ryu.
Yukimura Haruki.

Thousands take to the streets calling for the leadership to resign after Tehran admits to mistakenly shooting down a civilian jet, killing 176
by Joshua Finkelberg January 12, 2020, 6:36 pm 5.1k Views
Protesters gathered outside Amirkabir University in Tehran on Saturday night, shouting "Khamenei is over" and calling the government "shameless" after Iran admitted that its forces had shot down a civilian airliner, killing 176 people, and then lied about it.
In initial reports of the crash of the Ukraine International Flight PS 752, a Boeing 737 which crashed shortly after takeoff in Tehran on Wednesday, Iran's Road and Transportation Ministry claimed that the crash was caused by "technical difficulties." However, Western intelligence reports pointed to Iranian culpability as tension escalated between Iran and the United States following the killing of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani on Jan. 3.
Iran's military released a statement Saturday morning admitting its "unforgivable mistake," and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered an investigation into the incident.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement on Sunday that Iran knew right from the start what had happened, but tried to cover it up.
"Iran lied. Just as they lied about their secret nuclear program, they are lying now about the downing of the Ukrainian aircraft," said Netanyahu. "They knew from the start that they had downed it. They knew that it was an unintentional downing, but they lied intentionally. They deceived the entire world. This is completely contrary to how a civilized country should act and we send our condolences to the victims of Iran's deception and negligence."
Netanyahu noted the courage of the Iranian people who have taken to the streets, demonstrating against the Iranian regime.
"They deserve freedom, liberty and the ability to live in security and peace, all of which the regime denies them," he said.
The Israeli prime minister also commended U.S. President Donald Trump for "imposing new and very harsh sanctions against this regime," calling on Britain, France and Germany to join the American effort.
The U.S. president conveyed his support for the protesters on Twitter, writing, "We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage."
"They need to go to the Security Council, and there they need to activate the sanctions that have been decided upon. I would like to reiterate: Israel will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons," he said.
At the protests, the U.K.'s ambassador to Iran, Robert Macaire, was arrested for "inciting" protesters, but was released after a few hours, according to Iran's Tasnim news agency. The U.K.'s foreign secretary called the arrest a "flagrant violation of international law" and "without grounds or explanation."
"The government of Iran must allow human rights groups to monitor and report facts from the ground on the ongoing protests by the Iranian people. There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown. The world is watching," he wrote.
Following the Iranian announcement, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was "outraged and furious," and demanded that Tehran "take full responsibility" for the "horrific" incident, in which 57 Canadians lost their lives.
Though various IRGC leaders have expressed sorrow over the incident, claiming that there was a breakdown in communication and a missile operator had mere seconds to decide whether to fire, various Western figures have cast doubt on this claim as well.

Opera Singer Arrested for Violating Alexandria Noise Ordinance.
No doubt someone may have found the performance annoying–busking is busking whatever the caliber of the performer. That said, there is nothing in the article linked above that suggests that the police were responding to a complaint. That is, it's unclear whether they saw an opportunity to protect he streets from opera but were provoked into arresting the singer when she refused to shut down her amplified orchestral accompaniment.
Truth be told, we're torn on who we should support in this story. On the one hand, we would prefer to not be bombarded by amplified sound. On the other, we wonder whether the police are normally as diligent when dealing with noise criminals. Adding that we wish the cops were as vigilant with motorcyclists sporting aftermarket tail pipes as they are with desperate opera singers carrying amplifiers.


When you grow up in Texas, as I did, you were schooled up in the stories of the Alamo. It's legendary—a small group of freedom fighters who took their stand against incredible odds in the small mission in San Antonio (of course, I only later found out that these "heroes" were not quite the upstanding patriots I thought they were as a kid. But, I digress…).
Stories of Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Barrett Travis were the stuff of legend. I'm sure I wasn't the only kid who petitioned his or her parents to, at some point, jump in the car and make our way down to San Antonio to see the real Alamo. And, one year, we did.
Disappointment reminds of the only lasting satisfaction.
Ecclesiastes is a book all about disappointment. Solomon tried everything, and he tried everything to the extreme. But, no matter what he devoted himself to, no matter what it was that he soaked the marrow from, he came up empty. His constant refrain through all his attempts at satisfaction was "Vanity! Meaningless!" There was nothing under the sun for him that offered true and lasting satisfaction.
Disappointment exposes the truth in our hearts.
We have an incredible knack for self-deception. Oftentimes, we don't actually know the depths of our own hearts. We don't know just how much of our hope, how much of our joy, how much of our self-worth and value we have invested in a particular thing until that thing goes away. The level of disappointment we feel is more than just painful; it's revelatory. It shows us the truth about our own hearts. And, the truth is always a good thing.
Disappointment is a chance to grow in perseverance.
"Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:2-4).
Disappointment reaffirms our faith in God as Father.
Jesus' point is pretty simple here: God is a good Father. And, a good Father knows how to give good gifts to His children. That doesn't mean He gives His children everything they ask for; this would, in fact, make Him a weak, insecure Father. He's better than that. He only gives fish. He only gives eggs.
Sometimes, from our perspective, it might look as if God has given us a snake or a scorpion because we did not receive what we wanted from Him, and we feel disappointment. But, in that moment, it's a chance for us to remind ourselves that despite what His answer looks like, He has given us a good gift. We can move forward in confidence, even if we are disappointed, because by faith we trust our Father.

Sunoco Deal Gives ETP Heavier Hydrocarbons, Marcellus Presence
Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP) is buying Sunoco Inc. for $5.3 billion in a deal intended to diversify the natural gas midstream player's business by adding transport of heavier hydrocarbons such as crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGL) and refined products. Acquisition of Philadelphia-based Sunoco would also give Dallas-based ETP assets in the Marcellus Shale region.
The combined company would be one of the largest and most diversified energy partnerships in the country through expansion of ETP's geographic footprint and strengthening of its presence in the transportation, terminaling and logistics of crude oil, NGLs and refined products, the companies said Monday.
"This transaction, which will be immediately accretive, represents the next step in Energy Transfer Partners' transformation into a more diversified enterprise with an integrated and expanded footprint," said CEO Kelcy Warren. "As we have said in the past year, our goal is to derive more of our distributable cash flow from the transportation of heavier hydrocarbons like crude oil, NGLs, and refined products. With this transaction, we make a major move in that direction, bringing our cash flow mix related to the combined enterprise's pipeline businesses to approximately 70% natural gas and 30% heavier hydrocarbons. At the same time, we will enhance the size and scale of the ETP platform by creating new service capabilities and entering new geographic operating areas."
The natural gas price collapse has shrunk gas producer margins, and basis differentials have collapsed as well, a fact not lost on ETP.
"…[W]e've got to get a healthier mix of the movement of crude with natural gas," Warren told financial analysts during a conference call Monday. "The primary reason for that is look at what's happened to basis differentials in natural gas…They're almost nonexistent. That's OK; they will return; they will come back. They always do.
"The margins for movement of crude now are good. We think they're going to be good for quite a while…We think this is the right thing for us to do."
The acquisition would add 107,000 b/d of NGL throughput to ETP's current NGL throughput of 576,000 b/d and also add 1 million bbl of NGL storage capacity to the 33 million bbl ETP currently has. On the crude side, ETP would gain 5,400 miles of crude oil pipelines, infrastructure that spans the Marcellus region of Ohio, Pennsylvania and beyond in the Northeast.
"ETP has an interest in growing its Marcellus Shale-related activity, and I am pleased that the combined enterprise will retain a strong Pennsylvania presence," said Sunoco CEO Brian P. MacDonald.
ETP is to acquire Sunoco in a unit and cash transaction valued at $50.13/share. The deal comes weeks after the closing of ETP general partner owner Energy Transfer Equity LP's (ETE) acquisition of Southern Union Co., which created a midstream company with more than 44,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipelines and an estimated 30.7 Bcf/d of transportation capacity (see Daily GPI, March 27).
Given the industry-wide shift to liquids and crude, ETP has been eyeing natural gas pipeline assets in its portfolio that could be converted to crude service, particularly some of the Southern Union assets, and Sunoco's expertise could help with that, Warren said.
"There are…[natural gas] assets that were part of the Southern Union acquisition that are much more trunkline in nature; they span longer distances. They're not needed for the demand of our customers…So we are exploring converting [to crude oil service] some of those lines from the Gulf Coast to the Midwest, to other parts of the country," Warner said.
ETP has pipeline operations in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Utah and West Virginia, and owns what it claims is the largest intrastate pipeline system in Texas. It currently has natural gas operations that include 23,500 miles of gathering and transportation pipelines, treating and processing assets, and three storage facilities in Texas. ETP also holds a 70% interest in Lone Star NGL, a joint venture that owns and operates NGL storage, fractionation and transportation assets in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Besides owning the general partner of ETP, ETE also owns the general partner of Regency Energy Partners LP. ETE as of March is the parent of Southern Union. The ETE family of companies owns 45,000 miles of natural gas and NGL pipelines.
Sunoco Inc. owns the general partner interest of Sunoco Logistics Partners LP, a master limited partnership that owns pipeline, terminaling and crude oil acquisition and marketing assets.
Sunoco Logistics has 2,500 miles of refined products pipelines in the Northeast, Midwest and Southwest and equity interests in four refined products pipelines. It has 5,400 miles of crude oil pipelines mainly in Oklahoma and Texas. Its terminal facilities consist of 42 million shell barrels of refined products and crude oil capacity (including 22 million shell barrels of capacity at the Nederland Terminal on the Gulf Coast of Texas and approximately 5 million shell barrels at the Eagle Point terminal on the banks of the Delaware River in New Jersey). The crude oil acquisition and marketing business is principally conducted in Oklahoma and Texas and consists of about 190 crude oil transport trucks and 120 crude oil truck unloading facilities.
Sunoco Logistics and MarkWest Liberty Midstream & Resources LLC last year announced the Mariner West project, which would carry Marcellus Shale ethane from Pennsylvania to Canadian markets.
Midstream peer company Enterprise Products Partners has been focused on growing its business on the back of increasing NGL production (particularly ethane) from the nation's shale plays (see Daily GPI, March 21; Oct. 19, 2011). Enterprise and two partners recently announced plans to construct an NGL pipeline from the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Weld County, CO, to Skellytown, TX. Enterprise is also behind the proposed 125,000 b/d Appalachia-to-Texas (Atex Express) ethane pipeline.
The ETP-Sunoco merger consideration, which consists of $25 in cash and 0.5245 of an ETP common unit, or approximately 50% cash and 50% ETP common units, represents a 29% premium to the 20-day average closing price of Sunoco shares as of April 27. By acquiring Sunoco, ETP will also own Sunoco's general partner interest and the incentive distribution rights (IDR) in Sunoco Logistics Partners as well as Sunoco's 32.4% interest in Sunoco Logistics Partners' limited partner units and Sunoco's branded retail business with about 4,900 retail locations in the United States.
Sunoco shareholders can elect to receive, for each Sunoco common share they own, either $50.00 in cash, 1.0490 ETP common units or a combination of $25.00 in cash and 0.5245 ETP common units. The aggregate cash paid and common units issued will be capped so that the cash and common units will each represent 50% of the aggregate consideration. Upon closing, Sunoco shareholders are expected to own 20% of ETP common units. In addition, $965 million of Sunoco's existing notes will remain outstanding.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) affirmed ETP's "BBB-" corporate credit rating and revised its outlook to "stable" from "negative," and placed the "BB+" corporate credit rating on Sunoco Inc. on CreditWatch with "positive" implications. The "BBB" corporate credit rating on Sunoco Logistics Partners was placed on CreditWatch with "negative" implications, and the "BB" corporate credit rating on ETE was affirmed and its "stable" outlook maintained.
S&P said the deal would extend ETP's scale and enhance its position across the gas, oil and NGL value chain. "The contribution from ETP's challenged intrastate natural gas business will also notably decrease and be replaced by Sunoco's more stable crude oil and refined products transportation assets," the ratings agency said.
The deal has been approved by each company's board of directors and is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter, subject to approval of Sunoco shareholders and regulatory approvals.

CP NewsAlert: Kenney relieves justice minister of duties, orders investigation
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he has relieved Justice Minister Kaycee Madu of his duties after Madu called Edmonton's police chief about a traffic ticket. Kenney says all parties agree Madu did not ask Chief Dale McFee to cancel his ticket, but it's important the integrity of the justice system be maintained. Kenney, in a late night announcement on Twitter, says he has asked Madu to step aside while an independent investigator examines the relevant facts of the case to determine w
Ontario sees 'biggest winter storm' in several years
Ontario residents are dealing with severe winter weather and whiteout conditions on Monday as a major storm continues to dump snow on the province. Environment Canada has issued a weather warning, with parts of the province expecting total snowfall amounts of 25 to 35 centimeters. Global's chief meteorologist Anthony Farnell has more.
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece imposed a vaccination mandate Monday for people 60 and older, as the country's vaccination rate remains below the European Union average and a spike in infections has put sustained pressure on Greek hospitals. Older people failing to get vaccinated will face penalties, starting at a 50-euro ($57) fine in January and followed by a monthly fine of 100 euros ($114) after that. About two-thirds of Greece's 10.7 million people are fully vaccinated, while the EU average is

Q: MySQL: List rows who have one but not another many-to-many relationship Not quite sure how to ask or define this, but can't figure it out.
I have three tables like this:
persons             person_id, first_name, last_name
hobbies             hobby_id, name
persons_hobbies     person_id, hobby_id

I need to make two lists. Persons that have both hobby A and B, and persons that have hobby A but not B. How can I write these two queries? Can't figure out how to do this with joining and all...
Say hobby A has id=3 and hobby B has id=7.

A: Something like this should work:
-- Persons that have both hobby A and B
select p.first_name,p.last_name
from persons p
inner join persons_hobbies ph1 on ph1.person_id = p.person_id and ph1.hobby_id = 3
inner join persons_hobbies ph2 on ph2.person_id = p.person_id and ph2.hobby_id = 7;

-- Persons that have hobby A but not B
select p.first_name,p.last_name
from persons p
inner join persons_hobbies ph1 on ph1.person_id = p.person_id and ph1.hobby_id = 3
left outer join persons_hobbies ph2 on ph2.person_id = p.person_id and ph2.hobby_id = 7
where ph2.person_id is null;

A: I find this type to be easier to understand and code if you use sub-queries.
SELECT * FROM Persons
WHERE person_id IN (SELECT person_id FROM person_hobbies WHERE hobby_id ...)

But if you must join - Ike nailed it.

When Wendell "Woody" Minnich was a young man, he was a rock 'n' roll musician who wrote songs about conservation and saving the Earth. Today, he's a septuagenarian who's rocking conservation to a different tune. He has devoted his life to raising awareness of an alarming global decline in wildlife, with an emphasis on cacti and succulents threatened by habitat loss and black-market smuggling.
Minnich, a retired high school graphic-design teacher, became a serious grower of cacti and succulents in the late 1960s. In the ensuing 50 years, he has evolved from an amateur scientist to a devoted field botanist, becoming a rock star to the general membership of cacti and succulent clubs as well as specialist collectors because of his expertise, published works, photography and passion for these plants. His extensive knowledge is so respected that Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder who died in October, sought his advice for his personal cacti and succulent collection (which contained only legally propagated and purchased plants, Minnich notes).
Minnich's far-ranging field trips, which stand at 127 and counting, have taken him throughout the United States, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, South Africa, Madagascar, Namibia, Yemen and Socotra.
Sadly, his observations have caused him to worry about the sustainability of many of the world's cacti and succulents, particularly in recent years. To his dismay, he has seen entire populations virtually disappear in numerous regions. Part of the problem is habitat destruction caused by road building and other infrastructure improvements, or by business operations such as mining.
But the far bigger problem, he contends, is poaching by highly organized global smuggling rings. "It's happening across the board with cacti and succulents, and it's happening around the world," he says. "It's primarily being done by individuals from Korea, China and Japan, and then there are a few others doing this out of Russia and Central Europe."
Minnich blames two things for driving the global black market. One is the money that can be made from illegally collected plants. The other is our electronic world, which he says has made it easy for unscrupulous collectors to engage in the dark underworld of purchasing poached plants through a simple Google search.
The end buyer, he emphasizes, is usually not the average collector. Instead, it's often "serious and wealthy collectors around the world who are willing to pay $3,000, $5,000 or even $10,000 per plant for rare species."
"There are extremes that go beyond that," he adds. "There are people who have no trouble spending that kind of money. I see individuals spending big bucks on special rare show specimens all the time, some of these plants being imported field specimens."
Wealthy collectors are willing to spend huge sums for a single specimen because many rare species are unavailable in the nursery trade. Some species, for example, take many decades to reach a salable size, making them unprofitable to grow in a commercial greenhouse. As a result, some collectors with the necessary means turn to the black market for highly desirable plants that have been illegally taken from the wild. Possessing such plants, unfortunately, often gives collectors an ego-fulfilling status in the global cactus- and succulent-collecting community.
Minnich cites the small-growing Aztekium ritteri as an example. "A collector who has a 6-inch cluster of this plant can say to other collectors: 'Do you realize how rare this is? How special it is? Where are you going to see another one this big?' And when the average collector who does this for a hobby sees or hears about plants like this, they go, 'Wow! Have you seen so-and-so's collection?'"
Unlike in our previous story about succulent smuggling along North America's western coasts, poaching rings that operate in Mexico, South America, Madagascar and elsewhere aren't sending in foreigners to strip out plants. Instead, they get locals — often poor farmers or shepherds barely scraping a living from hardscrabble land on small ranches — to do their dirty work for them.
Minnich saw this with the cactus Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus f. elephantidens (pictured above) during a recent visit to its habitat in Queretaro in central Mexico. "It was just pretty much stripped out of its habitat," he says, noting that he has visited Mexico 70 times to study cacti and succulents. "In some cases, where I used to see thousands of plants, now there are almost none, and this scenario seems to be happening with many of the slow-growing, rare and hard-to-get other species."
Poachers first go into the habitat, he explains, to survey the plants and photograph them. If they want any, they talk to the locals — many of whom are very poor — and offer them money to collect the plants. To the locals, Minnich points out, succulents such as species of Ariocarpus, Pelecephora or Aztekium have no more value than a tumbleweed might to a person living in the Southwestern U.S. "As soon as anyone offers money for them, some of the locals are often more than happy to collect plants and save them for the return of the people who offered to buy them," Minnich says.
"What happened with the Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus f. elephantidens," he adds, "was that poachers who wanted these plants encouraged the locals to collect them, telling them they would come back and buy everything they dug up. As the cash-strapped famers in those areas would herd their goats, cattle and sheep, they would dig up every plant they saw and put them in their home. Then, when the foreigners returned, they paid the farmers for the plants."
In this case, according to Minnich, the locals most likely collected plants every day for months, eventually picking just about everything in the area: a total of roughly 10,000 plants. The poachers shipped these plants to Asia — Minnich believes it was Korea or China — where they supposedly sold them for $200,000. And how much did the poachers pay the farmers who collected the plants? "They may have made a few pesos per plant, or perhaps even more," he says. "For them to collect 100 plants and get many pesos for each? Well, from their perspective, that's fantastic! After all, they're only tumbleweeds to them!"
Smugglers are taking advantage of habitat destruction to profit from poached plants. Minnich has seen this in Rayones, Mexico, where he has studied Aztekium ritteri.
"Many, many years ago when I first went there, you had to take a very rough road that went up a river and was washed out much of the year. But when you could get in, you would see literally millions of plants growing on the cliff faces. Because seasonal floods made it difficult to get in, they decided to put a road in above the river canyon. However, when workers cut the groove for the road, they pushed millions of pounds of dirt and rock over the sides. The debris either buried many populations of Aztekium ritteri or pushed the plants off the cliff faces into the canyon or river."
Despite the ecological damage, there were still populations left even after the road was built. "I used to visit the plants on cliffs, 20, 30 or 40 feet high," Minnich says. "There were clusters of a plant that in cultivation would take at least 10 years to grow to the size of a dime or a nickel, at best. But you could see these plants, and the clusters were sometimes probably many clusters anywhere from 6 inches to 6 feet across. Well, I was just there last year, and they appear to have all been collected. It's pretty obvious how they were collected. Once again, the locals were enticed to gather the plants, this time using ropes to rappel over the cliff edges to collect the plants."
Minnich saw something similar happen with habitat destruction near the northern border of San Luis Potosi in central Mexico involving Pelecephora asilliformis. In this case, the problem was due to collecting and mining operations.
"I took a group there to show them a population of the plants," Minnich says. "We had about a two-hour drive to get to the area, but when we arrived, we found absolutely zero plants where there used to be many thousands. We were visited by the miners who told us we couldn't be there. They said we were on their private land. We asked about the plants, and they said it didn't really matter because this whole area was going to be mined. Even if there are a few plants left, after the poachers took what they wanted, the mining will eventually destroy all of the remaining plants in that particular habitat."
Some of the world's rarest and most desirable cacti and succulents are not available as seed-grown plants from ethically responsible nurseries because the plants can take many years to reach a salable size. Copiapoa cinerea, which is native to Chile, is one example. In the field it gets a wonderful ash-gray body with deep black spines, two instances of field character that growers can't often duplicate in cultivation.
While the species appears to be generally safe in its habitat, at least for the moment, Minnich has observed a void of plants of a certain size in the wild. "I just got back from Chile, and the populations range from tiny seedlings all the way up to plants that may be many hundreds of years old," he says. "The void is in plants that are about the size of a tennis ball, some that are a little bigger and some that are a little smaller. That particular segment of the populations seems to be disappearing." There is speculation the plants are being sold by people in Russia, Minnich says, adding that he doesn't have solid evidence to back that up, other than a few people who have purchased the obviously field-collected Copiapoa cinerea and shown them to him. These individuals said their source, via a Google site, was from Russia.
Regardless, he says, Copiapoa cinerea in habitat can take 20 to 50 years to reach the size of a tennis ball. "Because it's not economically feasible for the nursery people to grow this species to this size — they don't have the time to do this and it's not worth their effort — international poachers have focused on this and other slow-growing species, such as those in the genera Ariocarpus and Pelecephora."
Plants grown in habitat often have more character than those grown in the ideal conditions of a greenhouse. Due to weather conditions and the need to adapt to sometimes harsh seasons, they may develop colors, forms and textures that are difficult to duplicate in cultivation. These special types of character are often only possible from the wild.
Unlike with arrests and felony convictions in Southern California involving Dudleya farinosa poaching, Minnich is not aware of any strong enforcement in cacti and succulent smuggling outside the United States, with the exception of South Africa.
He has a friend who is a policeman in Springbok, the largest town in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, whose job for many years has been to stop poaching and the illegal collecting of plants and animals. "He goes with me and my friends who are serious succulent people to photograph plants," Minnich says. "He told me stories about people who have come there who want him to lead them around to photograph plants. He has refused in some cases because he knows their intent is to learn the location and then, when he is not there, to go back and collect plants in whatever numbers they can. These plants include Aloes, Haworthias, and some of the Mesembs in the family Azioacae, which includes Conophytums and Lithops."
As a result of his friend's vigilance, poachers from Japan were caught with illegally obtained species of rare and valuable Haworthias. There have been a few arrests that Minnich is aware of, with authorities seizing plants and cash. The authorities have obtained convictions and expelled the poachers, forbidding them from re-entering the country. "The sad part is that the confiscated plants often can't be put back in the field for one environmental or bureaucratic reason or another," Minnich says.
He thinks Asian countries are so involved in smuggling partly because, at least for now, they tend to have relatively lax regulations for bringing the plants across their borders. "If I ship 10,000 Ariocarpas kotschoubeyanus into China, it appears that nobody pays any attention. Nobody cares," he says. "They are supposed to, but they don't, or does money buy a way? I am very proud to say that I don't think this is happening at all in the United States right now. It took us long enough to get to this level, but I think we're on the right target as far as trying to protect environments."
As a conservation leader for the Cactus and Succulent Society of America, Minnich is working to educate the public about plant poaching and why we should care.
It's more about his belief "that the world around us contains the most magnificent, beautiful, amazing array of plants and animals and geology. It should be protected for the plants and animals themselves, but also for our human species, for our heritage, for our relationship with the total world and for our future generations."
Minnich remembers stories from his father about going out to see wildlife with his grandfather, who was in the last American cavalry at Fort Yellowstone. "When I was quite young, my dad told me, 'Woody, there are things I have seen you will never see because they are all gone.' I have never forgotten that. It almost makes me cry when I think about it. But I don't miss them because I never knew they existed."
He sees awareness of wildlife conservation as one big picture. He recalls learning that Allen, the Microsoft co-founder, spent large sums every year protecting elephants from poachers. "Can you imagine being a grandparent or even a great-grandparent, and having a young child or children sitting around you or on your knee, and how heartbreaking it would be to say to them, 'I remember when I was a young person that I used to see this large animal in zoos, and they occurred in Africa and India and they had great big ears and a long trunk. They called that animal the elephant.'"
He uses this imagery in his talks about succulent and cactus conservation because "can you imagine me telling the same story but saying there was once a little plant they called a Mammalaria herrerae? Nobody would know what that plant is.
"The passion for protecting our plants is not as strong as it is for our animals because the awareness of the general populace, even in the countries where these plants grow, is so small," he says. "Yet our plants are just as fragile, or even more fragile, than many animals. When you have an environment and you have these little micro-environments within that environment, if you disturb one part of that environment, that ecosystem is damaged. There is a domino effect of the damage that carries on from plant to plant and from animal to animal."
He admits to feeling pessimistic that he can make the general public care enough about plants, like a little cactus called Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus, to stop the decline in cacti and succulents before some species vanish forever. "The other side of me," he says, "is that I still have to try! I am not going to walk away. I was a teacher for 30-some years, and I believe education is the only solution."
He's also optimistic that there just might be legions of people around the world helping him fulfill his mission. "I suspect my feelings are probably similar to those of most of the people who care about our Mother Earth and the magic of all life."
Part of the issue is succulent habitat destruction, but the bigger problem is poaching by highly organized global smuggling rings.

Cora Webster and Tommy Edwards lived in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, not a hundred yards from each other, but apart from the occasionally greeting they rarely spoke. He would have liked to have got to know her because she was a real dish and the clothes she wore showed off her gorgeous body in a most provocative way. When she passed the window of his parent's house he used to watch her, even the way she walked and moved her tight little bum made him horny.
Tommy still lived with his parents but she had her own apartment in a converted house and seemed to have quite a lot of visitors, most of them male. He often dreamed of what it would be like to be lying on top of her naked body but felt he didn't have the remotest chance of that. After all, he just worked in a fast food joint and most of the guys she entertained seemed to be the executive type.
One day he was sprucing up his parent's garden when she leaned over the fence.
"Your names Tommy isn't it."
He was so startled he sort of stammered yes putting three or four extra letters in it."
"I was just wondering, as we're neighbors – if you'd like to come round to my place for a drink tonight."
Once again he stammered but he did manage to make it clear that he'd be fucking delighted.
As he showered and got duded up he started to wonder if there was something sinister about the invitation, he thought she might be into multi-level marketing or maybe a Jehovah's Witness tying to convert him. When he rang the bell he wasn't sure whether he'd come out later with a bag of men's fragrances or a copy of the Watch Tower.
Cora opened the door in an outfit that made him want to cum right there and then on her welcome mat. She smiled at him and just signaled with her arm for him to enter.
Her apartment was lit by candles and their shadows danced on the wall together as they walked across the room. There was was the smell of incense and some kind of alternative music was playing in the background. It was all a bit creepy.
She bid him take a seat on the sofa and asked what he wanted a drink. Armed with a Jack Daniels and one of her Hors d'oeuvres, which she pointed out had been made with own delicate little fingers, he sat back and waited for her to show her hand.
"Do you believe that our destiny is guided by the stars," she asked, as she raised a glass to her full scarlet lips.
Tommy said that he hadn't thought about it much.
"So you've never been to a psychic or a fortune teller."
He had to admit that he never been to either, "Although I did open a fortune cookie once that said I was going to meet a very beautiful woman."
"That could be significant," she responded enthusiastically, "That might well be significant."
He was beginning to think she was a might have Kangaroos loose in her top paddock but she was so fucking beautiful he knew he could overlook such a minor fault.
"I go to a psychic you wouldn't believe Tommy."
He thought he probably wouldn't.
"Her name's Moirag – she lives locally and I go to her twice a week for her guidance," she paused and gave a big sigh, "do you know what she told me yesterday."
"Well – I've not been having too much luck with boyfriends, most of them turn out to be self-centered jerks – and do you know what she told me?"
She told me I've been going out with the wrong types – she said I should go for an ordinary simple kind of man – someone who could love me for myself."
He didn't want to be regarded as simple but he did back up Moirag's assessment to the hilt.
"She told me more than that Tommy," she whispered, licking her lips like a Marylin Monroe impersonator, "she even gave me a name."
"That's absolutely amazing," he said, "Absolutely amazing."
"Do you know what that name was?"
"Brad Pitt?"
"Of course not silly," she giggled, "It was Tommy. Not only that she told me he lived quite close by and I'd know he was the right man when he made love to me."
Any skepticism he had harbored about the paranormal was swept away forever and he had become a devout follower of Moirag – even though he'd never met the bitch.
"I'm a bit embarrassed to ask you this Tommy but would you mind fucking me, I really need to follow my psychics advice – it's essential I know if you're the one – I going on 25 and romantic-wise I'm heading nowhere."
He was not the kind of guy to stand between someone and their beliefs and so he agreed, trying not to seem too anxious, even though he had a boner that you could have hung a week's washing on.
"Would you prefer the bed or here on the rug," she asked, rapidly shedding her clothes. When her gorgeous tits appeared, still jiggling after being wrenched from her bra he didn't think he wanted to waste any time walking to the next room.
As he clumsily removed his gear she slipped out of her white briefs revealing a partially shaved slit and the thought that he would soon be sticking his dick in there made him hyperventilate. Once naked Cora glanced at his throbbing knob and moved towards him like a fashion model showing off her skin. She put her arms around his neck and her tongue slowly slipped into his mouth and sought out his.
Tommy brought his hands up to her tits and fondled them, they were soft and warm and she was receptive to his touch. Sitting on the arm of the sofa he was able to align his mouth with her hardened nipples and she started to moan as he sucked and licked them.
He had very limited experience with women but as a devotee of porn videos and French movies, he figured he could give her a fuck to remember. As for Cora, she had practical experience, and this was evident when she dropped to her knees and took his cock into her mouth. She didn't just engorge it, she nibbled it at the end, licked it from his balls right up to the eye and then gently peeling back his foreskin before slipping her lips slowly down his shaft fluttering her tongue as she did so.
When she began to go up and down on it, she continued that tantalizing tongue movement and it wasn't long before he felt a warm feeling around his balls and his cum rapidly moved up the length of his dick and into her mouth. She swallowed the lot and didn't bat an eyelid.
Tommy just sat there trying to catch his breath when she did an amazing gymnastic move. Doing a sort of somersault she pushed herself up with her arms and ended up with her bum on his lap. He grabbed her legs so they draped over his shoulders and pulled her cunt up to his mouth as if he was playing the Tuber. With his face tucked between her thighs, his tongue made contact with the pink folds and started to explore, darting here and there as she groaned, moaned and whimpered.
"Oh my God that is so good," she murmured, "That is so good."
He continued to poke around her wet crack and then changed his tactic licking from bottom to top, over and over again. When he'd managed to free one of his hands he put his finger in the bottom of her slit and pulled it gently as if to stretch it. Cora went off like a frog in a sock. She started to scream as she came with a vengeance and then sank to the floor almost sobbing with ecstasy.
When she'd stopped shaking she got to her feet, "Can we do it standing?" she asked, kissing him on the lips, "I've always wanted to do that."
They were about the right height and so he bent down a little as she opened her legs and his dick slipped deep into her pussy. With his hands around her ass, and hers holding onto his arms he began to ram it in and out.
As their bellies slapped together he could see her lovely tits bouncing up and down, and when he quickened his pace they jiggled even more. He was desperate to shoot his load and he pounded her pussy like someone possessed. When he felt his sticky goo moving up and ready to make a break for it, he began to yell, "Fucking hell I'm cumming."
Cora got just as excited as him and just kept repeating, "fuck me faster, faster, faster."
When he made those final short sharp thrusts and his hot lava streamed into her cavity, she had a massive orgasm and dug her nails into his arm so hard it started to bleed. Both breathing as though they'd just run a marathon they flopped onto the sofa and sat there in each other's arms.
"Moirag was right," she whispered, "You're the one."
Tommy wasn't going to argue with an obviously gifted soothsayer.
"And do you know what else she said?" continued Cora, kissing him gently on the lips, "she said that one day I'm going to catch you in bed with my sister Dana."
Now he had no idea of what the sister looked like but if she was anything like her – well he was up for it. But then came the foreboding.
"Unfortunately," she said, with a look in her eyes that was rather scary,
"Moirag also sees a knife in my hand, a bloodstained knife."
At that moment, probably due to a draft of air, the candles began to flicker, but whatever the reason it scared the shit out of Tommy. Now he was not the sort of guy to show cowardice but in the circumstances, he thought it was for the best.
Still naked, and with his balls swinging from side to side, he dashed out of the front door and hurdled six fences on the way to his own garden.

Therapy by Phone Good Against Depression
Study examines the efficacy of telephone-administered cognitive behavioral therapy of patients with major depressive disorder.
Kristina Fiore
Medically Reviewed by Zalman S Agus, MD
WEDNESDAY, June 6, 2012 (MedPage Today) — Receiving cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) over the phone is just as effective in primary care patients as when counseling is done face-to-face, and phone CBT may keep patients in treatment longer, researchers found.
Patients had significant improvement in depression scores with both means of treatment, but significantly fewer stopped telephone-based therapy, David Mohr, PhD, of Northwestern University in Chicago, and colleagues reported in the June 6 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
But they noted that patients were more likely to maintain improvements in depression 6 months after sessions stopped if they received face-to-face treatment.
"The increased adherence associated with telephone CBT may come at the cost of some increased risk of poorer outcomes after treatment cessation," they wrote.
Roughly 25 percent of all primary care visits involve patients with clinically significant levels of depression, the authors pointed out.
Studies have shown that while CBT is an effective treatment for depression, only a small percentage of patients follow through because of barriers to access such as time constraints, transportation problems, and cost.
Yet some work has shown that giving CBT over the phone may help increase compliance.
Coping With Depression: A Guide to Good Treatment
Irritable Bowel Syndrome Eased by Web, Phone Therapy
So Mohr and colleagues conducted a randomized trial of 325 primary care patients in the Chicago area who had major depressive disorder from November 2007 to December 2010.
All patients had 18 sessions of CBT, either over the phone or face-to-face. All sessions were 45 minutes long, with two sessions a week for the first 2 weeks, followed by 12 weekly sessions, with two final booster sessions over 4 weeks.
The primary outcome was attrition at week 18, and secondary outcomes included interviewer- and self-reported depression scores.
The researchers found that significantly fewer patients discontinued telephone-based therapy compared with in-person therapy before week 18.
Differences in attrition were apparent as early as week 5, with significantly fewer drop-outs in the telephone group, suggesting the effects of phone-base CBT on adherence "appear to occur during the initial engagement period," likely because barriers to access most often occur early in treatment, the researchers wrote.
Both treatments significantly improved depression and there were no between-group differences at 18 weeks in terms of physician- or self-reported depression scores.
Also, calculated effect sizes revealed that telephone-based therapy wasn't inferior to face-to-face treatment.
Participants remained significantly less depressed 6 months after the intervention compared with baseline, but those who had face-to-face treatment were significantly less depressed than those in the phone intervention group in terms of both physician- and self-reported scores.
Meeting face-to-face may be therapeutic in a way that promotes the maintenance of improvements in some patients, the researcher said, or the physical presence of the therapist may have some beneficial effects that last.

Wet wrap therapy is a treatment used to help ease eczema or atopic dermatitis. It involves moisturizing the skin and layering wet and dry clothing on top. Read one patient's success story, along with the benefits and risks of wet wrap therapy for eczema.Learn More
"If the finding that face-to-face treatment produces better maintenance of gains after treatment cessation is not an artifact, it suggests that longer-term follow-up is critical in research examining the effects of tele-mental health intervention and telemedicine more broadly," they wrote.
The study was limited in its generalizability because the sample was fairly well educated, the researchers cautioned, and because it wasn't possible to mask patients to the treatment arm.
Still, they concluded that telephone CBT "can overcome barriers to adhering to face-to-face treatment."
