Report illegal firewood collection
I think this is important...
One of the remarkable things about Canberra and the whole of the Australian Capital Territory is the beauty of its Nature Reserves & National Park.
I am reminded of ACT Parks head Brett McNamara's comment that "We manage people. The park manages itself."
ACT Government Press Release
The ACT Government today urged members of the public to report the illegal collection of firewood from reserves and other public areas, after several separate incidences of trees being cut down in nature reserves.
"Our nature reserves protect many threatened plant and animal species and are for people to enjoy so it is always disappointing when rangers find trees cut down," Ranger in Charge of ACT Parks and Conservation Service Murrumbidgee River Corridor, Shelley Swain, said.
"Unfortunately several times this year our rangers have found trees cut down in our nature reserves and on other public lands. Sadly, some people are unaware of the dangers and environmental impacts of cutting down trees and collecting fallen timber for firewood.
"I also remind Canberrans they cannot collect wood from public land. Fallen trees and branches form a vital part of the ecosystem by providing animal habitats, returning nutrients to the soil and encouraging revegetation.
"Fines of up to $5500 apply under the Nature Conservation Act 1980 for cutting down trees or removing wood from reserves.
"While we have a number of remote surveillance cameras in operation at parks and reserves across the ACT and our rangers keep an eye out for illegal activity, we would really appreciate the public's vigilance in helping us prevent future incidents."
To report incidents of vandalism, such as the illegal collection of firewood contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to Canberra Connect on 13 22 81.

Assam Rhino Reserve, a special exhibition in Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, will exhibit a male great one-horned Rhino named Taj. The exhibition opens on May 5th and for the first time rhinoceros will be a part of the 92-acre conservation institution in the zoo's 118-year history.
The one-horned rhino 'Taj' meaning crown or jewel was born on Nov. 10, 2016 at San Diego Zoo Safari Park and is the 70th greater one-horned rhino born at the Safari Park since 1972, making the Park the foremost breeding facility in the world for this rhino species. Assam Rhino Reserve was made possible by private donations of all sizes from generous individuals, families, corporations and foundations, as well as funding from the Seattle Park District. Additionally, operational funds for rhino care, conservation, and accessibility will be raised on an ongoing basis, including through a spring 2018 multi-channel campaign.
Also known as the Indian rhino, the greater one-horned is second in size only to African white rhinos. It has a single horn that is about 8 to 25 inches long; a gray-brown hide with skin folds gives it an armor-plated appearance. According to the International Rhino Foundation, the population has recovered today to an estimated 3,600 thanks to conservation efforts and strict protection from Indian and Nepalese wildlife authorities and collaborative efforts of NGOs.

Strategic heartbeat
The BP group has introduced an ambitious new 'getting back to growth' strategy – and BP Shipping has a central role to play in its successful delivery.
After six years of reshaping and rebuilding a new BP, the company is now stronger, more focused, fully competitive and fit for a fast-changing future. "We're getting back to growth – today, over the medium term and over the very long term," said group chief executive Bob Dudley, when he announced BP's ambitious new strategy.
Over the next five years, he said, we can expect Upstream production to grow by 5% annually, thanks to a strong pipeline of new projects coming online, with a shift to gas and advantaged oil. Downstream growth will be market-led, along with a continued focus on manufacturing excellence in refining and petrochemicals. New business models in low- carbon power and bio-products, as well as carbon management, digital and advanced mobility, will also create platforms for future growth. It all presents a range of new opportunities that promise to ensure that BP Shipping remains at the heart of the company's operations and its future growth.
The current annual growth rate of the global gas business.
The current annual growth rate of the global LNG business.
Expected annual Upstream production growth.
"Oil will continue to meet the majority of transport demand in the near future, and we're anticipating fast growth of natural gas for power, heat and industry worldwide," says Dominic Emery, vice president of group strategic planning for BP. "The global gas business is growing nearly 2% a year, and LNG twice as fast as that. BP Shipping has the vessels and, most importantly, the expertise in transporting these materials safely and reliably, so it will be pivotal in helping us to meet the energy needs of a changing world.
As we start to move our focus, customers will also need increasing volumes of new and novel products, such as biofuels," he adds. "Again, BP Shipping has proved its adaptability and agility in these areas, so I have no doubt that it will prove a valuable asset in helping us to deliver this exciting new strategy. The changes will come in what we transport, rather than how we transport it. So, we will continue to need a strong shipping capability, now and into the future."
Our fundamental purpose is the safe transportation of BP's hydrocarbons across the world's oceans as well as delivering innovative and agile marine solutions to the BP group
BP's global strategy
We believe having a balanced portfolio with advantaged oil and gas, competitive downstream and low carbon activities, as well as a dynamic investment strategy give us resilience

Can you prevent cropping in Igrann?
Take a nice pic and when you upload it, Igrann crops it pretty good.
Are you taking pictures with a 1:1 ratio?
What I have done is I have downloaded an android app called square instapic which let's you add a boarder to the picture and resizes the image so you don't have to crop.
How can it resize the picture without croping or distortion?
By adding a boarder to the image to so it can be resized to fit the 1:1 ratio rather than the 4:3, or the 16:9.

Vegan Sugar Cookies - Hell Yeah It's Vegan!
This recipe is adapted from one that appears in an old Iowa church cookbook called World's Best Sugar Cookies. Iowan church ladies are known to wax hyperbolic about plenty of things — recipes in these cookbooks for "green salad," for instance, typically involve neon-hued Jello and no vegetables of any kind. But these cookies are the Real Deal.
These are the cookies I helped my mother decorate every Christmas while I was a kid, so they're really the gold-standard by which I judge all other cut-out cookies. They are tender and flavorful, so unlike the many other sugar cookies I've sampled over the years, which by and large have been hard and dry, ultra-sweet or flour-flavored. They're great fresh, but I actually like them even more after they've been sitting in an air-tight container for a day or two, the cookies softening just slightly with the icing's moisture. Growing up, we always decorated these cookies with vanilla icing, but I've found that adding a little almond extract really complements the rich sweetness of the cookies.
First, make the cookies. In a large bowl, cream together sugars and vegan butter.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, soda, tartar, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until a soft dough is formed.
Chill dough in refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, until firm. If you'd like, you can refrigerate it overnight.
Once dough is firm, preheat oven to 350F.
Scoop out a third of the dough and, with your hands, form it into a ball. Return remaining dough to refrigerator while you work.
On a very lightly floured surface (a clean, smooth table or parchment paper will do), roll dough out until it's about ¼" in thickness. The cookies will puff up while they bake, but if you like particularly thick cookies, you can roll them out a little thicker, provided your cookie cutters will accommodate it; for crunchier cookies, roll them a bit thinner.
Cut out cookies with cutters as desired, reserving scraps. Metal cookie cutters and simple, outline-only cookie cutters are easier to work with than cookie cutters with more refined details, but if you choose to use the latter kind, I strongly recommend flouring your cutter before cutting each cookie.
Using a lightly-floured thin metal spatula, transfer cookies to an ungreased cookie sheet (or one lined with parchment paper).
Repeat until all dough has been used up.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookie bottoms are golden.
In a shallow bowl, beat together icing ingredients until smooth.
If you'd like to color your icing, divide it up into separate bowls and beat in food coloring to each bowl as desired.
The icing should be thick enough that you can just dip the top of a cookie into it, gently use the side of the bowl to remove any excess, and then set it down right-side up without it dripping much. If it's not thick enough, just add a tablespoon or two of confectioner's sugar, and if it's too thick, just add a few drops of vegan milk at a time until it's the consistency you're after.
You can leave them plain, add decorations while the icing is still wet, or wait until the icing has set and pipe on additional icing details as desired.
The dough will get quite soft as it warms up, and will be on the fragile side, but as you work, resist the urge to add large amounts of flour, as doing so will leave you with a dry, less flavorful cookie. Add only what you need to allow you to successfully cut out the cookies and transfer them to your baking sheets, and remember that you can always re-chill the dough as necessary to make it easier to work with.
These were awesome!!! I must've got mixed up somewhere because the dough was crumbly. I added a bit more oil and applesauce then was back in business. The frosting was excellent and even my doubting non-vegan children loved these!!
I made these and they were a hit! Great Xmas cookie. Love the almond in the icing.
Thank you! I've been searching for a really good sugar cookie recipe since going vegan. Sugar cookies were always a thing my mother and I made during the holidays. Can't wait to show her that our old fav can be vegan!

Famous Trolling Flies
By Bob Leeman
During those early years of streamer fly designs, there were many recognized creators of new streamer fly concoctions. Even today, the avocation of creating and fly tying continues to increase in popularity.
Most of Maine and New England's lake and trollers and streamer fly assemblers would remember Carrie Stevens, noted creator of the famous fly she assembled called the "grey ghost". She became famous after entering a fishing contest in 1924 by Field & Stream magazine, and won 2nd prize for her entry, after telling of using the fly to catch a huge brook trout of enormous proportions. Her prize was a famous painting.
Carrie Stevens
All of her streamer fly designs were originals that numbered to nearly one hundred or more. Some of those included: Col. Bates, Gen. MacArthur, shang's favorite, wizard, red streak, Carrie's favorite, America, Col. Fuller, Don's delight, green hornet, lady killer, and so many more.
Most would acknowledge names of those who were pioneers of the trade, such as Herb Welch of Oquossoc, Maine for "Black Ghost" and "Welch Rabbit" streamers, Warden Joe Stickney of Saco, Maine for his "Warden's Worry" fly, and A.W. Ballou of North Dighton, Massachusetts for the Ballou Spec.
The Edson Tiger
Too, there were Charley Sprague of Grand Lake Stream, Maine for his "Grand Laker" and "Golden Head". The "Edson Tiger" flies were created by Bill Edson of Portland, Maine, and Dr. Sanborn's tried and true, the "9-3" feathered bait.
As years ensued, new and celebrated streamer flies were invented and many of those attracted fish to the strike. Some of these were: George Baughman of Bangor, Maine for the "Barred Lady", and "Green King and Queen", Bert Quimby of South Windham, Maine for the "Lady Ghost" and "York's Kennebago", Lew Oatman of Shusan, New York was recognized for his "Brook Trout" and "Golden Darter" streamers. Bob Bibeau of North Windham, Maine remembered for his favorites of "Rochelle" and "Bibeau Killer" and the "Liggett Special" was a creation of Emile LeTourneau of Waterville, Maine.
Carl Sargent of East Orland, Maine assembled his "Red-Grey Ghost", and Jim Henderson of Brewer, Maine remembered for his "Ma-Moo" and Nimrod Spec." patterns. The "Maynard Marvel" pattern was originated by Ora Smith of Keene, New Hampshire. Let's not forget Chief Nehdahbee of Greenville, Maine for his contribution of the "Chief Nehdahbee" fly. The "Chief" was not only a fine fly tyer, but a writer and lecturer as well. His fly was tied bi-plane style.
Joe's Smelt
And who can forget the contributions from Dick Frost of Rangeley, Maine for his "Frost Blue Smelt" and Joe Serling of Danforth, Maine for his "Wood Special" and "Joe's Smelt".
In the more modern day years, we would be remise if we didn't acknowledge Eddie Reif of Bangor, Maine for his "Rip" smelt, or "Ripogeneous Smelt". Ty Coates, formerly of Waterville, Maine should be remembered for his "Castle Island King". Ty was a personal friend and certainly a perfectionist in fly tying. Bill Bovee of Brewer, Maine created the "Lucky Lady" and "Colburn Special" streamers, among so many others. From Tom Mutch of West Grand Lake, Maine, a Master Maine Guide and fly tyer, came the "T.M. Special" and "A.A. Special, named after Aaron Alderman, a frequent visitor to the fishing grounds.
Bill Geagan
My old and dear friend, outdoor writer, Bill Geagan, had a fly tying friend who invented "The Grizzly Geagan" streamer with grizzly feathers. Bill once said, "It was well named."
My dear old fishing buddy, Roger Wakefield of Machias, Maine created "The Barnsie" casting streamer from the "Barnes Special" original by C. Lowell Barnes.
More modern day imitation fly designs by Theriaults Fly Shop in Stacyville, Maine is the "Maple Syrup" The original design came from two old gentlemen from Old Town, Maine, who fished with it at Nesowadnehunk Lake with much success.
The "Sneeka" and "Close Nuf" streamer flys were fashioned by Fern Bosse of Norway, Maine. The "Footer Spec." by Dave Footer, master painter and taxidermist from Waterville, Maine. Bob Leeman, Jr. for "new versions" of "Rochelle" and "Maxwell" streamers that "take" fish.
A good word for friend, Woody Woodman, "classic" fly tyer from Holden, Maine. Woody is a gifted fly tyer as well as a retired musician and band leader, who also designs and creates wooden plaques with original streamer fly patterns mounted and beautifully preserved under a glazed finish.
Let us not forget "Muzzy" Muzzarole of Sidney, Maine for his frameable, stunning masterpieces of artful imitation fly designs.
To be sure, we must mention Sharon Wright from Lisbon, Maine, for her prominent fly designs beautifully displayed in her book, "Tying Heritage Featherwing Streamers".
We are forever grateful to the late H.W. Folkins of Tamworth, New Hampshire, who mastered the art of creating Carrie Steven's sundry of streamer fly presentations after acquiring her business. Also, we should not forget Dick Surette's contribution in fly tying and who originated the Fly Tyer magazine and several books to the industry.
Most of these streamer fly patterns may be found in the book, "Trolling Flies for Trout and Salmon" by Dick Stewart and Bob Leeman. See ad in this NWSJ or call 207-573-1468.
Leeman Special
And last, but certainly not least, Bob Leeman, Sr. of Brewer, Maine for the "Leeman Special" streamer, tied sparse to take fish. Suggestions: Tie 'em sparse. Overly decorated flies are for framed mantle decorations, but they do seem to sell better.
To close—a word from my dear, departed friend, Fran Montville from Old Town Maine, who was a superb fly tyer who once said, "a streamer fly is a lot like a woman—it must have "form, flash, and action!"
Bob Leeman is a Master Maine Guide, outdoor writer, naturalist, book author, and a co-host of the MAINE OUTDOORS radio program on Sunday evenings from 7-8 p.m. His three books are all available, in soft cover only, at several bookstores and fly shops, or directly from him. For information, see ad in this publication or call 207-573-1468.

This activity works well for individual students, pairs of students, or small groups. Give each student or group an index card with the name of a common object written on it. (Examples: helicopter, alligator, toilet paper, sweater, fishing pole.) Challenge the student(s) to create a slogan for the object on the card. Students can vote for their favorite slogans.
What if your parents threw out the TV? What would you do with all that extra time?
You might prepare this activity in advance by writing on an index card a message or common expression in Morse Code. Provide students with a copy of the Morse Code Alphabet and let them decode the message. All messages might be common expressions such as the following ones: stone cold, tough cookie, monkey business, bad egg, work your fingers to the bone, money to burn, miss the boat, down in the dumps, lay down the law, quick buck, throw your weight around, on the same wavelength, space cadet, wrong side of the tracks, easy as pie, out like a light, back stabber, hush-hush, down-to-earth, or play hooky.
Challenge students to act out moods they think different colors portray. Have classmates guess each mood and color depicted.
Variation: Create a simple geometric design divided into segments. Write a mood word in each segment. Hand each student (or student group) a copy of the design. Students should color each segment of the design with a color that they think portrays each mood. Watch the creative results unfold.

Q: Selenium selector for parent of nodes with specific text Let's say I have 100 elements like this on my page

  4p
  Singles

How can I select the div by contents of both of its children with Selenium / WebDriverJS / Protractor?
None of the labels is unique, but the pair is. So there may be other items with "4p" in the first span or "Singles" in the second. I want to only include those where both values match.

A: Since you are basing this on text, you'd have no choice but using an XPath locator.
This would be what you are looking for (providing you don't have too much nested stuff going on):
//div[.//span[text()='4p'] and .//span[text()='Singles']]

Which means, get the div that has a child (at any level) span that has it's text exactly equal to 4p and has a child (at any level) span that has it's text exactly equal to Singles.

First Lady calls for arrest of Kafue woman abusers
Published On July 2, 2016 » 3257 Views» By Hildah Lumba » HOME SLIDE SHOW, SHOWCASE
By SAM PHIRI and CHUSA SICHONE –
FIRST Lady Esther Lungu has directed the police under the Victim Support Unit (VSU) to arrest perpetrators of the recent stripping and sexual abuse of a known woman in Kafue.
Mrs Lungu who shed tears said it was barbaric and un-Zambian for human beings to treat a fellow human being and a woman in such a horrifying and abusive manner.
She said such Sexual Violence against Children and women did not only threaten national development but was also a stumbling block to the proper growth and development of children and women.
"I only came to see the video last night (before last night). I could not stand what I saw…Mr Superintendent, I hope we have all the records in place and it is my desire to see to it that justice is noted speedily," she said.
Mrs Lungu was speaking yesterday after leading the Zambia Medical Association and other police and civil organisations in the march Against Gender Based Violence and Sexual Violence against Children.
The number of Gender Based Violence and Violence against Children cases had been on the increase in Zambia with the latest being the Kafue incident which has since gone viral.
ZMA president Aaron Mujajati said it was worrying that Zambia was faced with an escalation of GBV in forms of sexual cleansing, property grabbing, early marriages, defilement and rape.
"We are particularly focusing on the abuse of children. It is said that no child can be abused unless society allows it so it would be correct going by the statistics to say that we are letting our children down," Dr Mujajati said.
NGOCC director Sarah Longwe said it was saddening to see how the numbers of abuse continued to escalate and yet less was done to prosecute the offenders.
Zambia police superintendent Tresphord Kasale attributed the rise of sexual abuse cases to drug and alcohol abuse, and production of pornographic materials.
Recent statistics revealed that in 2014, the country recorded approximately 11,000 cases of Gender Based Violence and in 2015 the number escalated to over 18,000. And Ms Lungu is impressed by the Sala people's hard work and self-reliance urging Government to motivate them in various forms.
Mrs Lungu was hopeful that Government would support them by constructing good roads and bridges for the Sala people to easily transport their farm produce to market places.
Mrs Lungu further urged Government to ensure that it supported Senior Chief Shakumbila's area with storage and processing infrastructure.
The First Lady said this when she officiated at the Ikubi Lya Loongo Ceremony fundraising dinner dance in Lusaka on Friday evening.
"Having had the opportunity of visiting Chief Shakumbila's Chiefdom early this year, I can testify today that indeed our brothers and sisters the Sala, have every right to celebrate harvest time and to celebrate themselves as a people.
"I visited Sala-land when it was almost harvest time this year, and I can tell you that the maize was abundant, the pumpkins already maturing and there were different types of indigenous and foreign crops and vegetables," she said.

In reply to: Ed Summers: "Re: [dcat] Tomorrow's dcat Agenda"


A biologist points to census map of high conservation forests within a forest concession in Bolivia.
We have decades of experience and strong evidence that sustainability certification and verification services provided to farmers, foresters, tourism entrepreneurs, and other businesses can help achieve the Rainforest Alliance's mission of conserving biodiversity and ensuring sustainable livelihoods.
Maintaining financial independence from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ and verified farms, forestlands, and businesses is a critical element of our ability to provide technical assistance, certification, and verification services.
Under no circumstances may anyone involved in decisions regarding the acceptance or use of contributions from a specific entity be involved in certification or verification decisions regarding that entity.
Rainforest Alliance certification and verification services are conducted by program staff and consultants who meet established criteria for experience and training and who have not provided related consulting services or technical assistance to the business being audited for at least the past two years. They must declare any potential conflicts of interest in writing.
Rainforest Alliance certification and verification decisions are based upon review of audit reports, comments from the audited business owners and managers, and the input of stakeholders and peer review comments.
Reviews of certification and verification audit reports are done by staff members who also have previously made written declarations of independence. They can review audit reports only if they did not participate in the audit being reviewed and have not provided technical assistance or consulting services to the business seeking certification or verification for at least two years prior to the audit.
No other staff members have any involvement in the actual decisions. Our board of directors and executive office staff are not involved in any way in these decisions.
We separate our certification and verification work from the technical assistance services we provide. Auditors do not provide technical assistance services while they are performing audits or vice versa.
We have a dispute resolution policy (en español) for complaints and appeals that can be used by owners of the business that was audited or by outside stakeholders. Designated staff members investigate complaints as well as appeals of certification decisions. They document the review process and provide formal responses to those who made the complaint.
In the case of Forest Stewardship Council® certification, anyone who is not satisfied with the Rainforest Alliance investigation and response may subsequently submit a complaint to Accreditation Services International, the international body that accredits the Rainforest Alliance.
Detailed information about how the Rainforest Alliance manages complaints and appeals related to our sustainable agriculture certification program is available on our Business website.
The Rainforest Alliance Conflict of Interest Policy requires all directors, officers and staff members to disclose any actual or potential conflicts, both at the time of engagement and annually. An internal committee reviews these disclosures and reports to the Audit and Risk Committee (see Oversight and Accountability section below) on a quarterly basis.
Staff members and consultants who contribute to certification and verification decisions are required to disclose in writing all possible and actual conflicts of interest at the time the conflict or possibility of conflict becomes evident.
The Rainforest Alliance Audit and Risk Committee, which is independent of the financial control of the organization and certification and verification decision-making, meets on a quarterly basis and reviews at least annually our performance in maintaining full independence. The Committee is also charged with recommending to the Board of Directors the retention and termination of our independent auditor.
Members of the Committee are not remunerated by the Rainforest Alliance in any way, do not have any material financial interest in any entity doing business with us, and are not involved with our certification or verification decision-making.
Fiduciary oversight of our activities rests with our Board of Directors. Although we believe that Director experience with certification and verification can be quite valuable, it is our policy that our Board not be dominated by Directors with an interest in Rainforest Alliance Certified™ or verified operations.
Audit findings are documented in reports that are reviewed for quality and adherence to established procedures.
The Rainforest Alliance is accredited by Accreditation Services International (ASI) to conduct audits and issue Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) certificates. FSC is an independent, international organization that promotes responsible management of the world's forests. To achieve and maintain FSC accreditation, we must demonstrate that our certification procedures meet stringent technical and procedural requirements and that our structure and procedures guarantee independence of our auditing activities and certification decisions. ASI audits the Rainforest Alliance annually at the headquarters level as well as through sample-based auditing of field performance through audits of Rainforest Alliance forest management and chain-of-custody certificate holders. Every five years ASI conducts a complete re-accreditation of the Rainforest Alliance.
Our carbon validation and verification activities are covered through accreditation by the American National Standard Institute for ISO 14065:2007 Greenhouse gases, with renewal on a three-year accreditation cycle.
For more information about governance and transparency in the Rainforest Alliance sustainable agriculture certification program, please visit our Business website.
All stakeholders can comment on the Rainforest Alliance Standard for sustainable agriculture at any time, as well as provide feedback on draft versions of updated criteria during public consultation periods. The public consultation process includes outreach to stakeholders via local workshops or to stakeholders who are contacted directly with a request to provide comments.
If you have questions, feedback, or suggestions about the Sustainable Agriculture Standard, its interpretation and application, and/or our certification requirements, please email sas@ra.org.
As part of their initial assessments, auditors solicit and collect public feedback on the forests to be audited via mailed questionnaires, individual interviews, and public meetings. For information about how to participate in this process, see the list of ongoing assessments, which includes information on how to submit your input.
Stakeholders may submit appeals or complaints about a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) / Rainforest Alliance Certified™ operation that they believe may not be in compliance with the FSC; read how this is done. To review the process and decisions that led to a specific operation's certification, see the public summaries of forest management assessments.
To help ensure that Rainforest Alliance, Inc. (the "Rainforest Alliance") complies with the highest standards of financial reporting and lawful and ethical behavior, the Board of Directors of the Rainforest Alliance (the "Board") has established the following procedures for the reporting of illegal or unethical conduct in connection with the Rainforest Alliance's finances, corporate policies, or other aspects of its operations, and the retention and treatment of such complaints, including confidential, anonymous submissions received from directors, officers, employees, and volunteers who provide substantial services to the Rainforest Alliance (who are referred to in this policy as "volunteers"). The General Counsel of the Rainforest Alliance (the "General Counsel") is hereby designated to administer this policy. This policy must be distributed to all directors, officers, employees, and volunteers of the Rainforest Alliance.
Should any director, officer, employee, or volunteer of the Rainforest Alliance have a concern regarding any action or suspected action taken by or within the Rainforest Alliance that is illegal, fraudulent, or in violation of any adopted corporate policy, that person should immediately submit a complaint (a "Complaint") to the General Counsel. Individuals may identify themselves in a Complaint or may submit Complaints on a confidential, anonymous basis, either orally or in writing. If a Complaint concerns the General Counsel or the complainant is not comfortable reporting to the General Counsel, then the complainant should submit the Complaint to the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board or another member of the Audit and Risk Committee instead. Issues arising under the Rainforest Alliance's equal employment opportunity policy, including the policy against harassment, employee benefit policies and issues generally handled by individuals responsible for the Rainforest Alliance's personnel practices and procedures are not covered by this policy. Mechanisms for resolving such issues are addressed in separate procedures.
The General Counsel or the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee shall cause all Complaints to be investigated, unless he or she believes that the Complaint was not made in good faith or unless the Complaint was made anonymously and does not contain sufficient information to conduct an investigation. The Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee may, at his or her discretion, direct any investigation to be conducted by others, such as outside legal, accounting, or other advisors. Investigations will be conducted with as much confidentiality as is possible and practical. However, in all cases the Rainforest Alliance will use best efforts to act with discretion.
After the investigation is complete, the Audit and Risk Committee will receive a written report of the investigation, its findings and any action taken or proposed. The Audit and Risk Committee will inform the Board if any Complaint is confirmed to have merit or if the Committee otherwise believes that the Board should be made aware of the situation. The Audit and Risk Committee will ensure the appropriate resolution of any Complaints reported to it, subject to the Board's oversight. The Audit and Risk Committee will use best efforts to ensure that records of all Complaints are maintained in accordance with the Rainforest Alliance's Records Retention and Management policy.
No director, officer, employee, or volunteer of the Rainforest Alliance who in good faith reports any action or suspected action taken by or within the Rainforest Alliance that he or she perceives to be illegal, fraudulent, or in violation of any adopted corporate policy shall suffer intimidation, harassment, discrimination or other retaliation or, in the case of employees, adverse employment consequences. The Rainforest Alliance will impose disciplinary measures against anyone who threatens or retaliates against a person for making a Complaint in good faith pursuant to this policy or for participating in an investigation. However, any director, officer, employee or volunteer who deliberately or maliciously provides false information may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
This policy cannot be viewed as creating a promise or contract by the Rainforest Alliance, and it may be amended by the Rainforest Alliance at any time without prior notification. Employment at the Rainforest Alliance in the United States is at-will, and nothing in this policy should be interpreted as in any way limiting this at-will relationship.
The Whistleblower Policy is also available in Spanish.

Alright well I didn't see a thread on this so I decided to make one. I haven't actually read the books yet and I know that sounds stupid but the thing which got me hooked was watch the movie "The Hogfather" and then searching it all up on Wiki and such. I really really really loved that movie and the information I acquired from Wiki made me really interested. Hope this brings up discussion as I don't want this to be a dead thread!

Re: Discworld Series
Discworld. Where to begin with Discworld. Though my favourite book remains the Colour of Magic, I adore Terry Pratchett for his immense imagination and limitless fantastical thinking. I've never seen the movies (on tv) though. Are they any good?
Incidentally, I would highly recommend the books. They're a great mix of comedy and fantasy, and so well worth investing in. Normally, there are lots of them in second hand shops. Well worth a look at.

One of the most brilliant series of all time, I love anything involving Granny Weatherwax or Death.
If you're starting out in Discworld, I'd recommend The Colour of Magic (though the beauty of the series is that you don't have to read them all in order). Hogfather is fantastic, as are Thief of Time, Mort, Wyrd Sisters, Lords and Ladies, and Carpe Jugulum.

I love the fact that you can start anywhere, read randomly and just live with it.
And they never get worse. I adore that idea too. It's consistent, it's humorous, and it's very very well described. I just adore the characters, the details...
Ahaha, awesome! Thanks for the recommendations. Next time I'm book shopping, I'll be sure to browse for any Discworld books.
Are they any good?
There's only one so far and it was amazing. One of the best fantasy movies I've seen yet.

Oh, I so need to go back to them! I love all of those things about the series. I think it's impossibly upsetting that Pratchett has been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's. I'm not sure if you knew that, but in typical Pratchett form, he took it with immense grace.
On 11 December 2007, Pratchett posted online that he had been newly diagnosed with a very rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease, which he said "lay behind this year's phantom 'stroke'." He has a rare form of the disease called posterior cortical atrophy, in which areas at the back of the brain begin to shrink and shrivel. Pratchett appealed to people to "keep things cheerful", and proclaimed that "we are taking it fairly philosophically down here and possibly with a mild optimism." Leading the way, Pratchett stated that he feels he has time for "at least a few more books yet", and added that while he understands the impulse to ask 'is there anything I can do?', in this particular case he will only entertain such offers from "very high-end experts in brain chemistry."Discussing his diagnosis at the Bath Literature Festival, Pratchett revealed that he now found it too difficult to write dedications when signing books.
Oh my god! No way! Aw man, that really sucks for Pratchett. I wonder if he'll get more books out? That would be pretty cool but he should rest his brain at least a little bit. Well I hope those people who are good with brains and whatever work their magic because I think he should live much, much longer.
Anyways, my librarian, Ms. Bird, at my school said she was going to go get some Terry Pratchett books from Chapters because she gets some sort of discount there because she's a librarian. I asked her specifically if she could get the book called Discworld, that is all about the history of Discworld. Have any of you read it?
I've not read it, no. It's one of those books that every time I walk into town, I say "I'll get that today." But I never do, cos usually when lunch is done I'm low on funds... But I will get to it one of these days! I hae nobody to borrow Discworld from, you see, because nobody I know likes them!
As for Pratchett, he's determined to get more books out, so I wish him all the very best in doing so.
It's one of those books that every time I walk into town, I say "I'll get that today." But I never do, cos usually when lunch is done I'm low on funds...
I do that all the time. It's like "I'm going to get it." when I go to chapters Then l'll find a better book and be like, "Oh darn, which one?" and I usually pick the other one.
I hae nobody to borrow Discworld from, you see, because nobody I know likes them!
I know! Only my brother has the books but he's barely over anymore and I don't know his number so I can't borrow them. Hopefully my librarian gets some and maybe he'll visit soon.
I, of course, wish Pratchett the best of luck with his books also. I believe he's very capable of making it for at least three or four books.

I believe he believes so too, and I'm just as faithful in him. He's a strong guy. And he's running lots of fundraisers. He looked into research regarding a cure for him, and discovered it was nothing compared to cancer research, which, as he said, is wonderful, but doesn't really help him or many thousands of others in his situation at this time, so he donated more to his own cause, which I admire. It's helping others too, after all.
Yes, and it normally does work out fine but still, it's quite annoying when it doesn't.
Wow, I never knew one man could be so amazing like that. I am truly inspired by him and maybe I could start a cause or fundraiser at my school for that posterior cortical atrophy disease.
Tell me about it, it annoyed me when I got so far and then got confused!
It's a good idea. I hope you do try! I ran fundraisers in school for loads of things every year, there's nothing better than trying to help others!
I probably have to do research so my suggestion is more legit but that doesn't bother me because I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to studying or research and stuff like that.
Best way to be. And always nice to help someone like Pratchett, who was such a dream of a man. He brought fantasy and comedy together and made an entirely new genre out of it. I loved that.
Aha, yeah. I love the comedy part about the fantasy.
I know. And I really do believe that he was the first to do that. Just so random. It's like, limitless fantasy that works. I was really surprised when people were giving them to me and saying "They're funny fantasy". It sounds absurd, and I thought maybe it was weird funny as opposed to ha ha funny, if you get me, but they actually made me splutter and snort quite often.
Never, ever, for reading on public transport...

Yup, I thought my brother was nuts when he said they were funny fantasy. I, too, thought it was weird funny but it turned out to be ha ha funny, just like you said.
LOL, no way. Or for in class during 'Silent Reading'.
I'll never forget reading The Colour of Magic. I really didn't see how it would be funny, I thought it was just random. But when I started laughing out loud I was seriously impressed. It's not everyday that something entirely non existent makes you laugh, even a little bit!
I read one of them on a subway in Vienna. Not a word of German in me, and total strangers looking as me as though I had lost my mind. My friends edged further and further away... So worth it though..
Incidentally, if you like these, you should totally check out Walter Moers. He writes wonderfully illustrated books that are just as funny and even more random, if that were possible!

Except he didn't. Fantasy and humour had long been combined.

Myrmecia nigriceps, también conocida como hormiga toro de cabeza negra y hormiga toro australiana, es una especie de hormiga endémica de Australia. Miembro del género Myrmecia en la subfamilia Myrmeciinae, fue descrita por el entomólogo austriaco Gustav Mayr en 1862. Estas hormigas son grandes y varían de 19 a 23 milímetros (0,75 a 0,91 pulgadas) de longitud. Sin embargo, las colonias contienen obreras que son mucho más pequeñas, generalmente la mitad del tamaño de las obreras normales. Las reinas son los miembros de mayor tamaño mientras que los machos son más pequeños, los cuales pueden ser fácilmente identificados por sus pequeñas mandíbulas.

Se encuentra en áreas montañosas y bosques, donde anida bajo montículos de tierra. Las obreras son generalmente nocturnas y las aladas se mantienen activas durante el día. La dieta se compone de líquidos dulces de plantas florales y presas invertebradas que alimentan a las larvas carnívoras. Se sabe que las arañas comen estas hormigas y los taquiglósidos consumen las larvas y pupas. Al igual que otras especies de Myrmecia, los miembros de M. nigriceps poseen una picadura fuerte y dolorosa, y el veneno es capaz de producir reacciones alérgicas severas como la anafilaxia.

Taxonomía
La especie fue identificada por primera vez por Gustav Mayr en 1862, quien proporcionó la primera descripción de M. nigriceps en su revista Myrmecologische Studien. La especie fue descrita con la nomenclatura binominal Myrmecia nigriceps, basado en los obreros sintípicos recolectados en Gayndah y Sídney, Australia. En 1907, el mirmecólogo suizo Auguste Forel la trató como una variante de M. vindex, pero finalmente fue relacionada como un sinónimo en 1910. Sin embargo, fue restablecida como especie completa en 1933 por el entomólogo estadounidense William Morton Wheeler, esto, teniendo como base su distribución por toda Australia y su tamaño promedio mayor que M. vindex. El entomólogo australiano nacido en Escocia, John S. Clark, publicó un sinónimo de la especie: Myrmecia fasciata, la cual se considera un sinónimo menor. M. nigriceps es miembro del género Myrmecia, parte de la subfamilia primitiva Myrmeciinae; la mayoría de los ancestros del género solo se encuentran en fósiles, con la excepción de la hormiga dinosaurio (Nothomyrmecia macrops).

Forma parte del grupo M. gulosa, uno de los 9 grupos de especies que conforman el género Myrmecia. El nombre específico, nigriceps, es una combinación de las palabras latinas niger y caput, cuyos significados son «negro» y «cabeza» respectivamente. Esto hace referencia a la distintiva cabeza negra de la hormiga. Dicho esto, M. nigriceps se conoce comúnmente como hormiga toro de cabeza negra.

Descripción
El tamaño de las hormigas obreras varía de 19 a 23 milímetros (0,75 a 0,91 pulgadas). Sin embargo, las colonias contienen obreras muy pequeñas, generalmente menos de la mitad del tamaño promedio. A pesar de esto, no se sabe si M. nigriceps es polimórfica, debido a las pequeñas diferencias en la morfología entre las obreras en comparación con las hormigas de la subfamilia Formicinae y del género Pheidole, con soldados que tienen cabezas grandes. Las reinas son las de mayor tamaño, miden alrededor de 24 a 33 milímetros (0,94 a 1,29 pulgadas), y los machos tienen un tamaño similar al de las hormigas obreras, de 18 a 20 milímetros (0,71 a 0,79 pulgadas). La cabeza y el gáster son negros, el tórax, el nudo y el pospeciolo son rojos o rojo amarillentos, mientras que las antenas y las patas son amarillas. Las mandíbulas y el clípeo también son amarillos. El pelo es corto y de color amarillo, erecto en el cuerpo y suberecto en las patas. La pubescencia (pelo corto, fino y suave) es blanca y abundante en todo el pospeciolo y gáster. La cabeza es casi tan ancha como su longitud total, y las mandíbulas conformadas por 13 dientes son más largas que la cabeza.

La reina es el miembro principal de la colonia y difiere de las obreras por el tamaño y la robustez. El pelo es más abundante, y la cabeza es más ancha. Las mandíbulas son más cortas y anchas, aunque siguen siendo tan largas como la cabeza. Las alas son de color amarillento y de apariencia translúcida. Los machos son los miembros más pequeños de la colonia y pueden identificarse fácilmente por sus mandíbulas perceptiblemente más pequeñas. Los pelos de los machos son los más largos y abundantes entre las castas obreras y reinas, con una cabeza larga y ancha.

Myrmecia nigriceps es similar en apariencia a otras especies del género como M. desertorum, M. fuscipes y M. gratiosa, todas con cabezas y cuerpos rojizos u oscuros de gran tamaño y gáster negro. También está fuertemente emparentada con M. vindex, sin embargo, ambas coinciden en el comportamiento y la construcción de los nidos al igual que otras especies del mismo género como Myrmecia analis.

Distribución y hábitat
Se distribuye por toda Australia, pero está ausente en áreas del centro y la costa norte de Australia. El rango de M. nigriceps se extiende desde el estado de Queensland hasta Nueva Gales del Sur, el Territorio de la Capital Australiana y Victoria. También se encuentra en Australia Meridional y Australia Occidental. Las colonias se encuentran en desiertos, áreas costeras, mesetas, bosques, vegetación nativa, bosques esclerófilos secos a semisecos, en bosques de Eucalyptus en las afueras de Canberra, áreas montañosas cálidas cubiertas con vegetación achaparrada, zonas rurales, nidos de tierra subterráneos, brezales, en bosques de Callitris y en zonas y áreas rehabilitadas, en elevaciones que van desde los 300 hasta los 1760 metros (984,2 a 5774,2 pies).

Myrmecia nigriceps es una especie constructora de montículos, aunque se pueden encontrar colonias debajo de los troncos. Las obreras decoran el nido con costras lateríticas y migas de tierra, de manera similar a los nidos de las hormigas de la carne Iridomyrmex purpureus. También suelen utilizar piedras pequeñas y material vegetal como pequeñas ramas y pedazos de tallos de plantas.

Comportamiento y ecología

Estas hormigas son forrajeras crepusculares y nocturnas, generalmente se alimentan durante la noche. Las obreras se alimentan de árboles de eucalipto y son simpátricos con muchas especies. Los adultos son nectarívoros y se alimentan de líquidos dulces de las plantas, mientras que las larvas son carnívoras y su dieta se compone de invertebrados capturados y otras hormigas como las obreras del género Camponotus y los machos. Las cucarachas, como Platyzosteria castanea y Platyzosteria ruficeps, pueden repeler los ataques de M. nigriceps descargando una secreción que desorienta a las obreras atacantes. Estas obreras comienzan a buscar alimento una hora antes de la puesta del sol, y la actividad máxima se produce durante las horas del crepúsculo. Poseen una visión excelente, lentes oculares y fotorreceptores más grandes que cualquier otra hormiga del género Myrmecia. Además son capaces de distinguir la distancia y el tamaño de los objetos que se mueven a casi un metro de distancia, son sensibles y atacarán rápidamente cualquier objeto en movimiento.

Las hormigas forman parte de la dieta del equidna de hocico corto (Tachyglossus aculeatus) y de las arañas del género Zenodorus, particularmente de Zenodorus metallescens. Se sabe que las serpientes ciegas consumen las larvas y pupas de estas hormigas. Las colonias también son hospedantes de M. inquilina, un parásito que pone sus huevos dentro de la colonia.

Es una hormiga extremadamente agresiva, y las colonias más grandes pueden rivalizar con otras de una especie diferente de Myrmecia (como M. gulosa) en términos de fiereza y pugnacidad. Al igual que otras hormigas, las obreras de Myrmecia nigriceps pueden picar varias veces sin lesionarse. Con una dosis letal media (LD50) de 7,3 mg/kg, el veneno es relativamente débil en comparación con otras hormigas Myrmecia, cuya LD50 es mucho más baja. Sin embargo, en un estudio realizado en 2011, al menos un paciente tuvo una reacción alérgica al veneno de M. nigriceps. Este estudio también concluyó que muchas otras especies de Myrmecia pueden causar anafilaxia, así como la hormiga de cabeza verde (Rhytidoponera metallica). En la escala de dolor por picadura de Christopher Starr, una escala que compara el dolor general de las picaduras de himenópteros en una escala de cuatro puntos, la picadura de M. nigriceps fue clasificada con un dos, es decir, dolorosa. Los ejemplares de M. nigriceps pueden ingresar a colonias en las que no residen sin ser atacadas.

El vuelo nupcial se produce después de la lluvia durante varios días, generalmente entre el verano y mediados de otoño (diciembre a marzo). Los machos y las reinas vírgenes emergen de su nido y, a diferencia de otras especies que se aparean en el suelo o trepan a los árboles cercanos para volar, los alados reproductores volarán del nido. Los vuelos nupciales registrados generalmente se presentan en las cimas de las colinas. Las obreras pueden vivir excepcionalmente mucho tiempo, con una vida media de 2,2 años; la longevidad máxima varió de 2,1 a 2,4 años.

The Airbus A320 family consists of short- to medium-range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin-engine jet airliners manufactured by Airbus.
The first member of the A320 family�the A320�was launched in March 1984, first flew on 22 February 1987, and was first delivered in March 1988. The family was soon extended to include the A321 (first delivered 1994), the A319 (1996), and the A318 (2003). The A320 family pioneered the use of digital fly-by-wire flight control systems, as well as side-stick controls, in commercial aircraft. There has been a continuous improvement process since introduction.
This digital model is based on the Airbus A-320 aircraft with a "US Airways" texture.
- Low-polygon and game-ready model.
- The landing gear/ wheels are separate groups, which can you hide from the scene or animate.
- There are no landing gear doors or wheel wells.
- The model is UV mapped and textures (in jpg format) are included, at 512x512 pixels.

His Girl Friday</> the 1928 play it is based on remains under copyright until 2024.<></>
File:HisgirlFriday.jpg and Rosalind Russell.}}}
Walter Burns (Cary Grant) is a hard-boiled editor for The Morning Post who learns his ex-wife and former star reporter, Hildegard "Hildy" Johnson (Rosalind Russell), is about to marry bland insurance man Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy) and settle down to a quiet life as a wife and mother in Albany, New York. Walter determines to sabotage these plans, enticing the reluctant Hildy to cover one last story, the upcoming execution of convicted murderer Earl Williams (John Qualen).
Walter does everything he can to keep Hildy from leaving, including setting Bruce up so he gets arrested over and over again on trumped-up charges. He even kidnaps Hildy's stern mother-in-law-to-be (Alma Kruger). When Williams escapes from the bumbling sheriff (Gene Lockhart) and practically falls into Hildy's lap, the lure of a big Scoop (term) proves too much for her. She is so consumed with writing the story that she hardly notices as Bruce realizes his cause is hopeless and returns to Albany.
The crooked mayor (Clarence Kolb) and sheriff need the publicity from the execution to keep their jobs in an upcoming election, so when a messenger (Billy Gilbert) brings them a reprieve from the governor, they try to bribe the man to go away and return later, when it will be too late. Walter and Hildy find out just in time to save Walter from being arrested for kidnapping.
Afterward, Walter offers to remarry Hildy, promising to take her on the honeymoon they never had in Niagara Falls, but then Walter learns that there is a newsworthy strike in Albany, which is on the way to Niagara Falls by train.

His Girl Friday was originally supposed to be a straightforward adaptation of The Front Page, with both the editor and reporter being men. But during auditions, a woman, Howard Hawks's secretary, read reporter Hildy Johnson's lines. Hawks liked the way the dialogue sounded coming from a woman, resulting in the script being rewritten to make Hildy female and the ex-wife of editor Walter Burns.< name=osborne />< name=tcmnotes />< name=tcmarticle></> Most of the original dialogue and all of the characters' names were left the same, with the exception of Hildy's fiancé, Bruce Baldwin.
Hawks had a very difficult time casting this film. While the choice of Cary Grant was almost instantaneous, the casting of Hildy was a more extended process. At first, Hawks wanted Carole Lombard, whom he had directed in the screwball comedy Twentieth Century (film), but the cost of hiring Lombard in her new status as a freelancer proved to be far too expensive, and Columbia could not afford her. Katharine Hepburn, Claudette Colbert, Margaret Sullavan, Ginger Rogers and Irene Dunne were offered the role, but turned it down, Dunne because she felt the part was too small and needed to be expanded. Jean Arthur was offered the part, and was suspended by the studio when she used to take it. Joan Crawford was reportedly also considered.
Hawks then turned to Rosalind Russell. During filming, Russell noticed that Hawks treated her like an also-ran, so she confronted him: "You don't want me, do you? Well, you're stuck with me, so you might as well make the most of it."< name=osborne>Robert Osborne, Turner Classic Movie broadcast</>
The film had the working title of The Bigger They Are, Russell wrote that she thought her role did not have as many good lines as Grant's, so she hired her own writer to "punch up" her dialogue. With Hawks encouraging ad-libbing on the set, Russell was able to slip her writer's work into the movie. Only Grant was wise to this tactic and greeted her each morning saying, "What have you got today?"
The film is noted for its rapid-fire repartee, using overlapping dialogue to make conversations sound more realistic, with one character speaking before another finishes. Although overlapping dialog is specified and cued in the 1928 play script by Hecht and MacArthur,</>
His Girl Friday was 19th on American Film Institute's list of AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs, released in 2000.<></>
His Girl Friday was dramatized as a radio play on the September 30, 1940 broadcast of Lux Radio Theater with Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray and Jack Carson. It was dramatized again on The Screen Guild Theater (March 30, 1941) with Grant and Russell reprising their film roles.
His Girl Friday and the original Hecht and MacArthur play were later adapted into another stage play, His Girl Friday, by playwright John Guare. This was presented at the Royal National Theatre, London, from May to November 2003, with Alex Jennings as Burns and Zoë Wanamaker as Hildy.
The 1988 film Switching Channels was loosely based on His Girl Friday, with Burt Reynolds in the Walter Burns role, Kathleen Turner in the Hildy Johnson role, and Christopher Reeve in the role of Bruce.
