Why are Darwin's theories such a sensitive issue in America but not England?
David Streever
Suggesting it was a taboo for all politicians, Scott Walker refused to answer BBC journalist Justin Webb when asked if he believed in and accepted the theory of evolution.
"I'm going to punt on that one," Walker said. His answer stunned Webb, the moderator of the event, who said that no British politician would hesitate to acknowledge evolution.
Mark Oppenheimer wrote about this in the New York Times Beliefs column, noting that none of the likely Republican candidates for President have openly embraced evolution.
The theory of evolution may be supported by a consensus of scientists, but none of the likely Republican candidates for 2016 seem to be convinced. Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida said it should not be taught in schools. Former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas is an outright skeptic. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas will not talk about it. When asked, in 2001, what he thought of the theory, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said, "None of your business."
Later in the article, David N. Hempton, dean of Harvard Divinity School originally hailing from Northern Ireland, suggests that the difference lay in the electorate, claiming that most British residents accept evolution.
Studies and statistics don't bear this out, and suggest that both countries are increasingly scientifically illiterate. At least half of all British residents are skeptical, confused, or outright dismissive of Darwin and the theory of evolution, per a study conducted by Theos and ComRes. (Rescuing Darwin, 2009) In America, Gallup found that 42% favor creationism over evolution. (Gallup Values and Beliefs 2014)
It seems clear from other answers that at least some of the likely candidates for President do actually accept the theory of evolution, but either don't want to say so or feel that it's better to deny it while on the campaign trail.
Why do you think that British politicians are comfortable asserting the theory of evolution where American politicians are not? Is it meaningful that the divide seems to be based on party lines? Does it say anything about our political system that our politicians seem to try and identify with the electorate on matters of faith and belief in a way that British politicians do not?

According to a TIME interview with his high-school science teacher, Scott Walker did study evolution: http://time.com/3710087/scott-walker-evolution/
But it's not surprising that he came back from England and announced a plan to de-fund the University of Wisconsin:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/17/us/politics/scott-walker-university-wisconsin.html?_r=1
Darwin published "Origin of Species" a little more than a year before the Civil War began. Ultra-conservative Republican politicians and commentators are still fighting the Civil War in terms of states' rights and racism. The Scopes trial was in 1925, and that too is still being played out in this country.
Belief in God and "belief" in evolution are clearly different orders of belief. Sincere supporters of creationism presumably rely on their own experience of God. But for some American politicians, political commentators, and "journalists," creationism and fundamentalist religion in general are a means of getting power—power for themselves and their backers, and power over people who might otherwise sense that, as another comment here has said, the politicians aren't serving their best interests.
This kind of manipulation undoubtedly isn't new, but—at least as compared with the 1960s—the scale and the brazenness and the sanctimony of it are. The attempt now is to de-fund government itself, and to make it impossible for the federal government to function for the common good. ("Starve the beast.") It's easier, and evidently more effective, to appeal to voters' fears and prejudices than to argue policy.
A neighboring thread on the pastoral letter from the bishops of the Church of England sets out political differences pre- and post-Thatcher that parallel what's been happening in the United States. Mark Oppenheimer's article in the Times describes differences in the educational systems of Britain and the U.S. The British interviewer had the grace to be surprised when Scott Walker "punted" the question of evolution, and Conservative politicians in Britain are perhaps too well educated to even want to debate it.
Charles Darwin himself struggled with the implications of his scientific findings. (An article by Martin Gardner for Carnegie Mellon University has a moving selection of quotes from Darwin's autobiography:
https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/jksadegh/A%20Good%20Atheist%20Secularist%20Skeptical%20Book%20Collection/Gardner_The_religious_views_of_Stephen_Gould_and_Charles_Darwin_%20Science_and_Religion_sec.pdf) Darwin was honest scientifically and spiritually. He was a brilliant and good man. Opportunistic politicians should be shamed by him. I don't believe that Americans are dumber than a box of rocks, but I think many American politicians do believe that and are banking on it.
Philip Snyder
Were I a politician who was asked such a penetrating question regarding my preferred policies for governing (/sarcasm) is two fold: "First, which version of Evolution do you support? (There are several in vogue right now)" and "What difference does this mean towards my policies?
I do not accept "naked" Darwinism – where species evolved with no plan or outside influence. Nor do I accept the Creation Myths of Genesis as scientific fact. I believe that God used some process to set up His desired outcome in terms of the species that exist. That process might look a lot like evolution and it might not.
The problem is that Science and Religion answer two different types of questions. Science answers "how" and "when" rather well. Religion answers "who" and "why." The two are complimentary, not opposed to each other.
Jon White(@parsonwhitegmail-com)
I believe American antipathy to 'expertise' is a long-standing tradition. It was basically Andrew Jackson's whole platform in running for President. And this antipathy does not hew to political or class lines, though I would suggest it has been enhanced as a value amongst those influenced by Ayn Rand. It also an important distinction that parliamentary politics, as in the UK, is based more on party rather than any individual candidate. MP's are expected to tow the party line whereas we in the US sort of admire mavericks and independents. Its not that personality isn't important in the UK, but voters are primarily choosing a governing party (and divided government is essentially an impossibility).
Anand Gnanadesikan
I think there is a deeper issue in that Americans of both parties are fundamentally skeptical about claims made on the basis of "authority". Unfortunately this is how evolution is often taught in schools. So American conservatives Christians tend to reject what they perceive as elite authority undermining a Christian worldview.
By contrast, in the UK, there is a tendency among conservatives to uphold authority, particularly elite authority. And among British liberals, as among American liberals, there is a belief in the authority of science. Evolution doesn't have power as a "flag".
David Streever(@dlstreever)
Reply to Anand Gnanadesikan
Anand: that's largely something I've been musing over too. Could Vietnam and the myriad national crises after it cause greater distrust for leadership in America? I think, in England, the vast majority wanted a peace at any cost post World War I, and Churchill took an unpopular stand that was later celebrated, much like austerity measures under Thatcher. Could the events of the 50s to 70s in each nation be the point of divergence that led to American rejection of authority and English acceptance?
Dorian Borsella
My speculation is that the English have stronger identifications with the 2 major parties, Conservative and Labor; that these parties have class connotations, and there is more working-class solidarity. There are also fewer candidates. In the U.S., class is fragmented. Middle to lower income whites too often identify with Republicans, traditionally the party that would not have their best interests at heart. As another reader noted, in U.S. there are lengthy political campaigns and many candidates. Politicians try to conceal their views (before elections!) as they try to alienate as few groups as possible. Their worst crime would be to come off as an intellectual, and the result is that they sometimes come off as unintelligent. I know this skirts around the question of evolution. I can't imagine how evolution and natural selection can be disbelieved. Something happened to the U.S. around the l980's, with the growing of large fundamentalist denominations. (Sorry for so many generalizations- I'm just seeking to understand). Dorian

Wharton Property Advisors follows a 5-step process to find attractive office space for our clients. We have a tested system for finding attractive office space.
First, we get a good sense of where you'd like to locate your office, how much space you'll need and how long it will need it. We also pay attention to the space configuration: What your company needs in terms of conference rooms, offices, open space, storage, etc.
Next, we put your needs into CoStar (the database of available office space). Typically, this survey yields a group of about 15 possibilities.
We review the list of possibilities with you and select 3-5 spaces to go see. To minimize the time taken out of your day, we group these visits together. It's also easier to compare spaces when they're fresh in your mind.
When you select a space, we prepare a proposal letter for the landlord. This is a nonbinding letter that outlines the lease term, when you'd like to move in, any work to be done before the move-in date, how escalations will be calculated, cancellation options, etc. The proposal letter usually sets an initial round of negotiation in motion. Wharton Property Advisors vigorously represents your interests in these negotiations.
Once the terms of the offer letter have been hammered out, the landlord will issue a lease. We examine every inch of the lease to make sure there are no bad surprises.


Red Entertainment and Afro Culture are promoting #iamnot4sale as a platform for raising awareness of the plight of African migrants being sold as slaves in Libya. We are staging fundraising events to raise money for those who have been directly affected. We encourage artists to sing against slavery with initiatives like the #iamnot4sale Song Challenge.
We are also proactively working to prevent migrants from using the illegal route to Libya known as the "backway", by supporting initiatives on the ground. The first initiatives are in Gambia, where we have partnered with organisations preventing young people from undertaking this journey to Hell. We are also supporting returnees' reintegration into their communities.
Our mission is to protest against, and raise awareness of modern slavery of Sub-Saharan migrants in Lybia, by way of artistic expression, such as music, and to raise money to support returnees in West Africa.

Jinx Hamilton has been minding her own business working as a waitress at Tom's Cafe and keeping up with her four cats. Then she inherits her Aunt Fiona's store in neighboring Briar Hollow, North Carolina and learns that her aunt has willed her some special "powers" as well. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step and Jinx has a major problem. She's a brand new witch with no earthly clue what that means. Throw in a few homeless ghosts, a potential serial killer, and a resident rat and Jinx is almost at her wit's end. Thankfully she has the unfailing support of her life-long BFF, Tori and it doesn't hurt that there's a hot guy living right next door.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, particularly when I wanted an upbeat, chirpy read while coping with a low-grade headache that nonetheless made life less than fun… And this engaging offering ticked all the boxes – review to follow.
I have loved this series so far and this tense thriller doesn't disappoint. Newman's nuanced protagonist had me turning the pages later than I should have been, as I was very keen to find out what will happen next. I'll be reviewing this one during the week.

At last – a week that wasn't quite so full-on. I've still been busy working towards the blog tour for Dying for Space and my teaching commitments have continued, but a break in the Fitstep and Pilates classes meant that I had a full day on Wednesday to work.
On Thursday my writing buddy came over and helped me sort out how to register an ISBN for Dying for Space and upload the ebook onto Amazon in readiness for the Publication Day on 14th December. I will get more technically proficient in due course, but I'm finding the world of self publishing a steep learning curve… On Friday evening, Himself and I were invited over to my sister's for a meal and afterwards we played several hands of Dobble. It was a lovely, convivial evening – even though it got quite cutthroat by the end – that game takes no prisoners!
Yesterday, my sister and I went shopping as she wanted Christmas decorations for her flat. I'm going to have to curb these excursions with her – a short jaunt to get a bit of tinsel and a small tree somehow morphed into a major spree where I returned with jewellery, make-up and new pair of boots… I'd like to claim they were pressies for the long list of birthdays I have coming up (mother, daughter, granddaughter, mother-in-law) all before Christmas. But no… they were all for me!
While the weather has become distinctly chilly with frosts at night, the last few days have been beautifully sunny and bright.
What would you do if your sister turned into a skunk? How about a mouse? Or a frog? Would you want to be a snake? Have you ever wished to swim like an actual fish? Wouldn't you worry that a snapping turtle might take a bite out of you? In The River Keepers, two sisters must rise to meet an unexpected challenge. It's a story infused with the magic and drama outside their backdoor — perhaps yours, too.
This children's story is enjoyable and well-written, although the blurb led me to expect something a bit different. I shall be reviewing this one during the coming week.
Civilization has come to the alien, sunless planet its inhabitants call Eden. Just a few generations ago, the planet's five hundred inhabitants huddled together in the light and warmth of the Forest's lantern trees, afraid to venture out into the cold darkness around them. Now, humanity has spread across Eden, and two kingdoms have emerged. Both are sustained by violence and dominated by men – and both claim to be the favored children of Gela, the woman who came to Eden long ago on a boat that could cross the stars, and became the mother of them all.
I read Dark Eden a while ago and have never forgotten this disturbing, engrossing science fiction adventure set on a hostile planet. So when I spotted the sequel in the library, I immediately scooped it up – and I wasn't disappointed… The review will be posted in due course.

Small arms ammunition used exclusively for training
Small Arms Ammunition. Ammunition, without projectiles that contain explosives (other than tracers), that is.50 caliber or smaller, or for shotguns. (DoD 6055.09-M) BAE Systems can produce over one million rounds per day of Small Arms Ammunition in 5.56mm and 7.62mm NATO calibres including ball, tracer and blank natures.

Tula, Russia is a guns and ammo town. In 1712 Tsar Peter I founded an arsenal there that would become a major supplier to the Imperial Russian Army. In the fashion of his ancestor, Emperor Alexander II also selected the industrial city when he founded Tula Cartridge Works (Tula) in 1880. Upon its creation, Tula was tasked with producing 210. This is the standard rifle of Indian small arms system which uses gas operated system to eject the blank cartridges and load the fresh one. It utilizes 5.56×45 mm NATO ammunition. It is equipped with telescopic day view or passive night sight mouting, a bayonet (knife mounted in front) In addition, there will be recurring requirement of ammunition, used for stocking and training. Also, going on is the Futuristic Infantry Soldier System (F-INSAS) program which is designed to equip Indian infantry soldiers with most modern small weaponries including an advanced lightweight rifle and heavy machine gun The Small Arms Weapons Effects Simulator can be used on the L85 when in training with blank ammunition.

US and EU split over plastic pollution
The two blocs have wildly different ideas on how to get countries and companies to tackle the problem.
An effort to end plastic pollution by 2040 is dividing the United States and the European Union.
The U.S. has been working to get countries to join its "End Plastic Pollution International Coalition by 2040," but so far they aren't biting. Instead, there's growing traction for a rival grouping — the High Ambition Coalition, chaired by Norway and Rwanda — that's attracted over 50 countries. Members include U.S. allies like Australia, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, the U.K. — and now the EU, which joined Thursday.
The split was on display at an international summit in Punta del Este, Uruguay this week — the first opportunity for diplomats to make progress on a legally binding global plastics treaty by 2024. It follows a landmark agreement by more than 150 countries earlier this year on a global framework aimed at ending plastic pollution.
The EU-U.S. split boils down to a difference over how best to rein in the flood of plastic befouling land, beaches and seas.
According to a document seen by POLITICO, the U.S. State Department favors allowing nations to set their own action plans, dismissing the notion that there can be a "one-size-fits-all approach" to the issue. It's an approach that's not finding much support among other countries but has the enthusiastic backing of the U.S. chemicals lobby.
The rival coalition advocates a more top-down approach of a binding international treaty that uses "bans and restrictions" to eliminate "problematic plastics" along with global baselines and targets.
The dispute is mirrored by deep divisions between companies and campaigners.
Monica Medina, the U.S. assistant secretary for oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs, told POLITICO in an interview that the U.S. stance promotes a "race to the top," arguing that negotiations centered on global targets for reductions in plastic production could wind up stooping to the "lowest common denominator."
However, Juliet Kabera, the lead plastics treaty negotiator for Rwanda, put her alliance's success down to "trusting the science." She pointed to a recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which estimates plastic waste will triple by 2060. Approximately 8 million tons of plastic enter the world's oceans each year, while only 9 percent of plastics are recycled globally and 50 percent is landfilled.
"I can never underscore it enough: We are looking for a treaty that is going to make a difference," she said.
Medina defended the U.S. approach, saying: "We are just as or more ambitious as anyone else in this negotiation."
There are also divisions among campaigners over how closely they should work with the petrochemical industry
Carsten Wachholz of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, who is heading to Uruguay as an observer, pointed out that some countries may feel uncomfortable "openly" positioning themselves as the "counterpart to the High Ambition Coalition."
A negotiator from a country with the High Ambition Coalition — who requested anonymity to speak candidly on the negotiations — said the U.S. is "struggling to have countries actually wanting to join that coalition." Washington has put itself "in a bit of a difficult situation with this information leaking; now they're kind of obligated to develop this group," they added.
Companies and campaigners
The U.S. position aligns with the American Chemistry Council, an industry lobby.
"We see a country-driven approach in which governments and key stakeholders develop locally appropriate solutions as essential to successfully addressing plastic pollution in the environment," said Stewart Harris, the ACC's senior director of global plastics policy. The rival coalition would "limit economic growth of developing economies," he added.
But NGOs are skeptical of that approach. There are also divisions among campaigners over how closely they should work with the petrochemical industry.
The World Wide Fund for Nature and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation on September 21 created a Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, featuring 80 organizations that calls for cutting plastic production and use through a "circular economy approach" with a treaty that would "set out common global goals and obligations" to be implemented in "all national jurisdictions."
The day of the announcement, Greenpeace USA put out a statement of its own calling the coalition's vision for a plastics treaty "clearly not enough."
"The coalition has some good things in it, but the companies have consistently said and made positive rumblings about reduction and moving toward reuse but fail in shifting a reliance on single use plastics," said Graham Forbes, Greenpeace's global plastics project lead. "We know voluntary corporate commitments will never get there."
Despite their different approaches, both the U.S. and the High Ambition Coalition say they agree on the larger goal of ending plastic pollution by 2040.
Wachholz of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation added that it's unlikely governments will come to blows in Uruguay — next week is the first round of negotiations; countries only agreed on the global framework for negotiations back in March.
Medina said the U.S. has "been having great conversations with lots of governments. I don't think people have decided which approach they like better. And there's nothing about the High Ambition Coalition that forecloses our approach. So we don't see ourselves as isolated at all."

AT&T's Fall and Winter Smartphone Roadmap Leaked: Galaxy S II, Atrix 2 Coming
By Brian Oliver Bennett - LAPTOP Senior Writer 2011-08-24T13:02:21Z
Cellular carriers strive to keep their device plans as close to the vest as possible, but sometimes the shroud of secrecy lifts. This time it's AT&T that's been caught off guard, with much of its Fall and Winter phone roadmap exposed for all to see.
Cell phone blog PocketNow reportedly received classified documents that clearly spell out AT&T's roadmap for the second half of the 2011. Judging from the leaked spreadsheet, Android devices play a big role in the carrier's upcoming plans. Of the ten handsets listed, six of them run Google's OS, all of those with version 2.3 Gingerbread. Samsung Galaxy S II fans will have a big reason to cheer too since apparently the unlocked superphone will land on AT&T (code-named Singa SGH-i777).
AT&T will give the venerable Motorola Atrix, the first dual-core Android smartphone, a refresh as well, under the name Motorola MB865 Fuath. Likely a dual-core phone like its forbear, the device boasts 1GB of onboard memory, a massive 1785 mAh battery, Android 2.3.4, and is rumored to have a sliding QWERTY keyboard.
Both heavy-hitting smartphones may also have fast 4G data access in the form of HSPA class 14, essentially offering top theoretical downloads of 21 Mbps, and are slated to hit stores in Q4. Also Expected but not listed is the HTC Holiday, a massive 4.5-inch, qHD resolution, dual-core device that may come running Android 2.3.4.

I sent this directly to a friend as a birthday gift. She loved it!
Great idea, poor quality
I wanted to love this puzzle, and the toad puzzle I ordered with it, but I can't, because of the poor quality.
Pros included the gorgeous artwork, the resealable bag, and the fold-out picture that can be referenced instead of the box lid when trying to complete the puzzle. You don't get these features with most puzzles, and I really appreciated the thoughtful design that went into them.
The cons, however, strongly overwhelmed the pros for us. The puzzle isn't terribly well made--some pieces fit tightly, some fit loosely. Upon opening, some of the pieces weren't fully separated, which isn't unusual for puzzles, but when we gently separated them, often the paper (picture) from one piece would be partially pulled off from the backing by the other piece. You have to separate them very carefully to avoid this. These problems wouldn't be that big of a deal, but what ruined the puzzle for our family was that the pieces are covered with the type of factory dust that commonly covers goods made in China--the kind of dust that, if you have any allergies or sensitivities to it, causes your hands to become almost instantly dried up, painful, and red, as if you've been soaking them in bleach cleaner. With some products (like Christmas lights or plastic products from big box stores) this isn't too big of a deal, because you can wash them off and don't have to be constantly touching them. But you can't wash a puzzle, and the nature of a jigsaw puzzle is that you're constantly handling it. I've dealt with the issue by thoroughly washing the resealable bag, constantly wiping down the box lids as we sort through the pieces, and wiping down the finished portions as we go. This has helped a bit, and I'm hoping that with this effort, we'll be able to do the puzzle again in the future.
I really wanted to support a company from my hometown, and I had been looking forward to getting a few things for friends who still live in Colorado. Unfortunately, because of the issues with these puzzles, I won't be buying any other puzzles from Two Little Fruits (as I had been hoping to, because the artwork is so darned cute!)
Thank you so much for your feedback. We have wanted to create some puzzles for years, and these are our 1st run of them. We have sold over a thousand puzzles so far, and this is the 1st time we have had someone report this kind of reaction. We will definitely keep this kind of feedback in mind when looking for production partners in the future. Also, we wanted to let you know that our puzzles are the only thing we have produced for us that come from China; all of our other products are made in the USA, and most of them in our home city of Denver, Colorado. Unfortunately, USA-based puzzle companies wouldn't even talk to us because we were too small and couldn't meet their minimum order quantity!
We are sorry to hear that you weren't 100 % pleased with your order, please let us know if we can change that in any way.
and get a discount on your next purchase! Plus, you'll be the first to know about new products and special offers.

I'm busy making plans for the springs photography shoots and have ended up with a surprisingly long list of areas and subjects I want to photograph. One of my main goals is to try to shoot more aerial photographs of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, primarily to fill in some empty areas in my aerial stock photography collection. On a personal level I want to shoot more "aerial art"; photographs that are purely on the artistic side. These images are not particularly easy to shoot, in fact I find them quite a bit more difficult to shoot than more general scenery.

I have never tried aerial photography, but I find it intriguing in it's abstractions. The first one could be a macro of moss, the second a macro of ice. The third is all aerial.
You are right about the scale and how so many of them look like macro photos. It's definitely a different way of viewing our beautiful planet.

Thrive Acupuncture and Wellness love to celebrate wellness practitioners who foster the mind/body connection for the citizens of Rapid City.
The work we do often involves sharing information with many partners in the care of a single patient and so we love to shine a light on the work of our colleagues in the Black Hills, particularly when our patients would really benefit from it.
In this month's spotlight, we're turning our eye toward meditation. As the number of electronic devices in our lives increases and our responsibilities grow, it's often hard to drown out the "noise" and clutter in our heads. But our bodies demand that we listen to them and any opportunity to clear our thoughts, still those voices is of value. More importantly, meditation can help the patients of Thrive Acupuncture.
We recently spoke with Nicole Heenan of Dharma Massage and Yoga. Nicole is a mental health counselor, massage therapist, yoga and meditation teacher. She offers private meditation sessions through her practice.
We asked Nicole about meditation and how it might help acupuncture patients.
We thoroughly agree, Nicole! Thrive wants to partner WITH our patients in their care and believe that meditation works in unity with acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping, medical qigong and all of our modalities.

Beyond Timber: New Economic Opportunities for Southern US Forests
Logan Yonavjak
The Southern US could permanently lose tens of millions of acres of forest to development over the next 30 years, which means the loss of ecosystem benefits, including timber, water purification, and recreation opportunities. The World Resources Institute (WRI) has identified some economic incentives that can help the South mitigate the loss of these benefits.
1 February 2011 | Stretching more than 200 million acres from Texas to Virginia and from Kentucky to Florida, the forests of the southern United States provide billions of dollars worth of timber and other forest products each year as well as hundreds of thousands of jobs in the region. Though they comprise just two percent of the planet's forest cover, they generate more pulp for paper by volume than any nation outside the United States. They also control erosion, ensure clean supplies of freshwater, and offer numerous hunting, hiking, and other recreational opportunities.
However, 31 million acres of these forests are expected to be lost to development between 1992 and 2040 — an area the size of North Carolina. Strategies are needed to halt this loss.
This month, the World Resources Institute (WRI), supported by Toyota, is launchinged the first in a new series of issue briefs that explore incentives for ensuring that southern US forests continue to supply not only timber, but also a number of other benefits — known as "ecosystem services" — that people depend upon. Among these additional services are water filtration, carbon sequestration, and recreation opportunities.
These services help support the local economy, but many will continue to be degraded and lost without conservation and sustainable management of the region's forests. Fortunately, over the last few decades, ecologists and economists have developed mechanisms that both identify the economic value of these services and help finance their conservation.
WRI's first brief, Keeping Forest as Forest, overviews a range of economic opportunities that are available to southern landowners and provides a foundation for later briefs in the series.
"We have a short window of opportunity to increase the conservation and sustainable management of large tracts of southern forests," explains Todd Gartner, Senior Associate of Conservation Incentives and Markets at WRI. "In many ways, the next 20-30 years will shape the fate of these forests. There is a large generational transfer of ownership among families on the horizon, as well as a likely return of housing pressure."
Yet there is hope. As Keeping Forest as Forest profiles, there are a variety of incentives for maintaining southern forests while addressing the threats they face, including:
Market incentives such as markets for sustainable timber, payments for watershed protection, and recreational user fees;
Fiscal incentives such as cost-share programs and tax deductions that help finance the expenses associated with reforestation, conservation, and sustainable forest management on private lands;
Liability limitations that reduce liability risk to landowners for taking voluntary, proactive steps to protect or restore forests via prescribed burns, endangered species protection, and other actions;
Land- use instruments such as conservation easements, working forest easements, and transferable development rights; and
Education and capacity- building programs that ensure landowners have access to information about best forest management practices.
"Both corporate and family forest owners are increasingly interested in economic opportunities beyond just timber for their woodlands," said Lee Thomas, Chairman and CEO of Rayonier, a real estate investment trust with landholdings in the South. "This and subsequent issue briefs should help southern landowners explore these opportunities in more detail."
WRI has found that many of these incentives are currently underutilized in the region. Awareness of them is mixed. And some incentives such as markets for watershed protection are just emerging and therefore are relatively novel to most landowners.
What can be done to increase adoption of the most promising incentives? Each issue brief will explore this and related questions.
"We hope that WRI's timely series will raise awareness about the incentive options available for conserving and sustainably managing southern forests for the future," said Patricia Pineda, group vice president of philanthropy and the Toyota USA Foundation. "As always, Toyota remains committed to raising awareness of environmental issues of concern and is proud to sponsor WRI's work as part of the company's commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative."
To access these briefs and to learn more about southern U.S. forests, visit www.SeeSouthernForests.org. Developed by WRI with support from Toyota, this interactive site provides a wide range of information about southern forests, including current and historic satellite images that allow users to zoom in on areas of interest, overlay maps showing selected forest features and drivers of change, historic forest photos, and case studies of innovative approaches for sustaining forests in the region.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a Masterpiece!
May 20, 2021 at 3:43 AM in Gaming News with no comments
BioWare's Mass Effect Legendary Edition is here and it is surely a great achievement for the studio.
By Windfell
MASS EFFECT TRILOGY REMASTERED
The Mass Effect Legendary Edition was released last May 14, 2021, and it came with all the game's DLCs as well as the different packs, armors and weapons.
Players will enjoy remastered visuals, the game being able to support up to 4K Ultra HD graphics. Additional features are improved frame rates, AI behavior, weapon balance and controls.
Get to know what the difference is between the original version as well as the legendary edition in our article Mass Effect Legendary Edition Graphics Comparison
MASS EFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION REVIEWS
When the Legendary Edition launched it did so to great praises. Below are some of the reviews that the game has gotten.
Kimberly Wallace of Game Informer said that Shepard leaves a lasting impression, saying, "Even all these years later, Commander Shepard is a powerful force that lives up to their iconic status, and the trilogy is still captivating and worth your time."
Stevivor's Steve Wright appreciates the game's "spectacular story and characters" but also says that the game is a bit "dated". He said, "Should you play Mass Effect Legendary Edition? Of course you should. This is BioWare firing — for the most part — on all cylinders and hopefully is the dawn of a new resurgence of the franchise."
The only complaint that the game is getting is that it is a little dated, this proves that updating a game's visuals is not enough.
Quinton O'Conner from RPGFan said that the updated graphics actually reveal the failings of the cinematics. "I found myself blinking and double-taking at the disparity between current-gen character models and dead-eyed stares."
These are the early reviews for the game and it is great since it started with glowing reviews.
To round it all up, The Sixth Axis' Nick Petrasiti said that "While it's still a bit rough in some areas, and there's quirks to how they've retrofitted some elements into the older game, it feels like a definitive version of the game you remember."

They have more than one format: edifact, csv, fixed elngth records.
Yes, you can build your own translator.
Take a look at Bots open source edi translator  (http://bots.sourceforge.net),

Traffic Jams and New Ground » 09-19 a Tullgarn Slott
Tullgarn Palace
Earliest mention of the name Tullgarn (Tyllegarn) is from a bull in 1262. The name Tullgarn has nothing to do with 'tull' (which is the Swedish word for 'duty') but is derived from 'tylle' (talldunge = pine grove) and 'garn' which is the word for a narrow bay or inlet.
During the 1400's Tullgarn consisted of a 'village of six yards'. The castle's first known owner was certainly Tord (Röriksson) Bonde and his son Knight Knut Tordsson Bonde. He gave the estate to his wife Margareta Karlsdotter as a wedding gift in 1408. It remained in their family until 1772.
The first castle-like structure was constructed on the initative of Carl Sture. The castle or Sture castle was built on a rocky headland on Tullgarn Creek probably around the time of the Vasa Renaissance, roughly 1600.
In the mid 1600's the castle consisted of a large main building with three floors, two round towers and one square. Two wings extended from the main structure which joined to another building to enclose a central courtyard. The castle's exterior appearance is known from an image in Sveciaverket after a model by Erik Dahlberg in 1686.
During Count Per Larsson Sparres time, Tullgarn was renovated and fitted with a new roof. In 1685 the estate was turned over to Axel Julius De la Gardie and the Count Sparre took everything he could with him. This meant Axel Julius De la Gardie had to completely refurnish the interior. The castle stood relatively untouched, surviving the Russian raids in 1719 thanks to a stratagem by Posten P. Scharaff.
In 1713 Count Magnus Julius De la Gardie inherited the old castle from his father Axel. By then the building was in poor condition and quite outdated. Through his marriage to Hedvig Catharina Lillie Magnus had access to a considerable fortune which gave him the opportunity to build a new castle. If the earlier castle was demolished completely is unclear, but likely only some foundation walls and cellars remained from the previous one.
In 1772 Tullgarn was purchased by the state and became a royal summer palace. It is currently characterized by it's neo-classical furnishings which date to the latter 1700's when Gustav III's youngest brother, Duke Fredrik Adolf received 'Royal Right of Disposal' to the castle. The interiors dating from Fredrik Adolf's period are among the finest Gustavian interiors interiors in Sweden.
After Fredrik Adolf died, the castle passed to the crown and stood empty until 1805 when his sister, Sofia Albertina of Sweden temporarily moved in. In 1807 she received rights of use to the estate and spent every summer there until she died in 1829. In 1818, Parliament would pass to Crown Prince Oscar (to be Oscar I on coronation) upon Sofia Albertina's death. He held the castle between 1830 to 1859 and he implimented a respectful renvoation. He also rebuilt the stable and added the orangery.
