What's New: BLM

Posted Jan 10 2021
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
Great news: our end of year fundraising totals are in, and thanks to your incredible support, we were able to reach our $125,000 goal and UNLOCK our donor match! Your support will make an enormous difference for wild horses and burros as we launch our ambitious 2021 agenda.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we know we can always count on you to lobby your elected officials, support our critical legal work, and raise awareness across the country about the plight of America's magnificent wild horses and burros. This is a tough fight, but this movement has stood up to the challenge over and over again and we'll do it again in 2021. Please read on for a recap of the 2020 accomplishments that we'll build on and a preview of what your generosity will allow us to do this year!
Strengthened Political Support & Made History
We teamed up with our coalition partners and worked with members of Congress to introduce the first pro-wild horse legislation in over a decade. Passed by the House of Representatives, the bipartisan wild horse protection amendment would require the BLM to implement PZP fertility control to manage wild herds humanely on public lands. Although the final spending bill did not include the House-passed amendment, it did include strong fertility control language as well as other pro-horse provisions — a sign that Congress is well aware of our growing grassroots strength and increasing support on Capitol Hill for our cause. We have an incredible opportunity this year to make real change with the nomination of Debra Haaland as Secretary of the Interior and the continued leadership of Rep. Raul Grijalva as Chair of the Natural Resources Committee. Both are wild horse and burro champions who are committed to protecting these beloved animals and reforming the broken federal wild horse and burro management program.
Filed Suit to Protect Wild Mares
The day after the roundup ended in Utah's Confusion Herd Management Area, our legal team filed suit to stop the BLM from conducting barbaric sterilization surgeries on many of the just-captured wild mares. This is our third legal action against the BLM for plans to conduct the risky and invasive "ovariectomy via colpotomy" procedure, and we've successfully held the agency off since 2016! Joining us as a plaintiff in the latest lawsuit is Utahn Rob Hammer, who has extensive knowledge of the Confusion wild horses and the public land area where they live. In 2021, we'll continue to drive this case in the courts while we also work with Congress and the administration to eliminate this brutal surgery as an option for the management of our wild horses and burros, once and for all.
Created Accountability for BLM Roundup Abuse
While the COVID-19 pandemic made traveling much more difficult in 2020, we continued to address roundup abuse by sending humane observers to nearly every one of the many helicopter roundups conducted by the BLM and the Forest Service last year. This year we took a step beyond documenting roundups by launching an initiative to create a mechanism for enforcing the BLM's Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program standards, which the agency routinely violates. We've teamed up with the Animal Law & Policy Program at Harvard University Law School to develop a rulemaking petition to strengthen the BLM's animal welfare guidelines and turn them into legally-enforceable regulations. The petition will be ready for submission to the new Administration this year. If it is not acted upon, we will have the option of litigating, so please stay tuned!
Proved Humane Management is Possible
Our in-the-wild management program reached new heights in 2020. Not only were we able to grant funds to boots-on-the-ground organizations in Arizona and Colorado to support their fertility control programs, we also achieved an unprecedented milestone in our own fertility control program in Nevada's Virginia Range. Last month, our volunteers and staff surpassed 3,000 treatments administered to mares in less than two years, making this the largest free-roaming horse fertility control program in the world, according to the Science and Conservation Center! Just last week, the Deseret News — Utah's second-largest newspaper — published a feature highlighting the success of our program. In 2021, we will continue to support local groups managing their herds, expand our fertility control program in the greater Reno area, and we're working to expand our fertility control efforts to new herds in the West!
Launched Habitat Acquisition Project
We officially launched the pilot project for the American Wild Horse Conservancy, our new land trust, in 2020. The inaugural effort focuses on securing habitat for the famed Fish Springs Wild Horses who live on BLM and private land in the Gardnerville, Nevada area. The Conservancy overall will focus on critical land acquisition to secure key habitat for wild horses, grazing lease buyouts and compensation for reduced or non-use of grazing permits, and range improvements to improve the quality and quantity of habitat available for wild horses. We can't wait to expand this innovative program in the coming year!
We have a lot of work to do, but together, we'll make real progress for our cherished wild horses and burros in 2021. So stay ready, stay safe, and stay tuned!

Galloping towards a major deadline
Posted Nov 24 2020
It's that time again: The holiday season is just around the corner which means we're just ONE WEEK from #GivingTuesday, one of the single most important days for charitable giving in the United States, and for us at AWHC.
I won't lie, our ability to hit our annual fundraising goal — and successfully execute the programs, lawsuits and lobbying our wild horses and burros rely on each year — depends on a successful, and impactful, #GivingTuesday this year.
But I'm not asking you for a donation today. I will next week and I REALLY hope you can chip in when it's time. Today, I'm asking you to use your powerful voice. Will you speak up for wild horses in need before the holiday giving season is upon us, and we lose the attention of those in charge of managing our national icons?
Here Are Two Actions You Can Take in Under 5 Minutes, Right Now:
1. Co-Sign This Bi-Partisan Anti-Surgical Sterilization Letter to the BLM:
A veterinarian manually reaching into a mare's abdominal cavity via the vaginal canal, blindly locating the ovaries, severing them with a rod and chain device, and pulling them out is NOT the answer.
Even the National Academy of Sciences advised that this BLM-favored procedure is "inadvisable for field application" due to the possibility of bleeding and infection. That's why we've filed multiple lawsuits — and secured a federal injunction — to STOP the BLM from galloping ahead with this inhumane surgery on wild mares.
Speak up today: Co-sign this letter to Interior Secretary Bernhardt to let him know Congress AND the public are demanding humane treatment of America's wild horses and burros.
2. Let your Senators Know: There's a Better Way
After celebrating the historic passage of an amendment in the House of Representatives that would require the BLM to spend $11 million implementing humane PZP fertility control programs, we hoped the Senate would follow suit. Instead, its draft funding bill not only does not earmark funds for humane fertility control, it actually increases funding by $14.2 million for the roundup and warehousing of wild horses and burros in mass feedlot-like holding facilities.
We know there's a better way, but we have to speak up and demand it from our leaders in Congress. Already this week hundreds of us have been making calls, sending emails, and forwarding these actions to our friends and family. Let's keep up the pressure:
1. Email your Senators and Congressperson right now at this link,
…forward this email to your friends, AND
2. Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your two Senators and one Representative. You will likely be asked to leave a message. Simply say,
"I'm [Name] from [City/Town] and as Congress works on a final FY21 spending bill, I'm calling to ask that you please do all you can to ensure that $11 million in funding to implement PZP fertility control is retained in the final spending package. PZP is a humane way for BLM to manage wild horses and an alternative to cruel roundups. Thank you."
We have big fights ahead that will not come easy, or cheap.
Next week we will be announcing an exciting, ambitious #GivingTuesday goal to match the ambition of our fights ahead in 2021. I very much look forward to telling you about it, and am grateful for your voice today and every day
Together, we are unstoppable,

Wild horses > this horse race
Posted Nov 6 2020
The ongoing political horse race has the entire country on edge, but regardless of the outcome of this election, you can count on our commitment to protecting the horses that matter:
Our majestic wild horses and burros will always embody the true, enduring spirit of America. They remind us every day of all that's wild, free and beautiful about our country… and that's worth holding on to.
No matter the administration or final composition of legislatures, we've got our work cut out for us: The past year has seen a terrifying onslaught of BLM- and Big Ag- backed measures that place our wild horses in peril. From the unprecedented roundup numbers and the continued plan to use barbaric surgical sterilization procedures on wild mares, to selling horses off for $1 in California — our wild horses need our help.
Our wild horses and burros can count on us to show up and fight for their protection and freedom regardless of who is in the White House, the Senate or any other position of leadership. We will continue to work with whomever it takes to make that a reality.
And we can't do that without you.
The next days, weeks and months are sure to be chaotic and politically charged, but regardless of what happens, we must keep our eyes on the horizon and keep our work in the courts, on Capitol Hill and in the field focused on our mission: Doing everything in our collective power to keep our wild horses and burros safe, wild and free.
Right now — as we make plans and gear up for a new year, what may be a new Administration, and new opportunities to work to protect our wild horses and burros, we rely heavily on our ability to budget and forecast into the future. Recurring monthly gifts — from as little as $5 a month — are one of the most helpful and important ways we keep our programs sustainable and strong. Will you become a monthly donor today?
Thank you and stay strong during this unsettling time.
My view from the field
Posted Oct 16 2020
You've seen and heard a lot about this year's brutal wild horse and burro roundups from us — but have you ever wondered what it would be like to observe one for yourself?
I used to, and that's why I headed out to Utah to the Sulphur HMA. I wanted to observe for myself, but more importantly, I wanted to share the experience with you to give the full picture of exactly what we're fighting to end — and why.
Watching this video isn't easy. But it's important to understand what's at stake — and why we're calling for a moratorium on roundups and an investigation into the BLM's rampant animal welfare violations and failure to implement fertility control as a humane alternative to brutal roundups. I'm personally asking that, after you watch the video, you consider chipping in $15 to our Roundup Fund so we can put an end to these brutal practices as quickly as possible.
Please note: this video contains upsetting images of violence against wild horses.
AWHC's roundup program — observing, documenting, reporting and holding BLM accountable — is a top priority for us. Often, we're the ONLY ones in the field speaking up for those who cannot.
The freedoms, lives, health and well-being of the iconic wild horse and burro herds we love so dearly depend on our continued vigilance and effort, and we won't let them down. Are you with me?
Watch our video first to see what a day at a roundup entails, and then please chip in to help us keep up this important work.

We've NEVER seen a roundup like this
The Red Desert Complex roundup is set to break all the wrong records.
The majestic wild horses and burros who call 705,500 acres of public land in the Red Desert Area of southern Wyoming home are firmly in the BLM's crosshairs, now running in fear instead of free.
Five herds — and more than 2,400 wild horses – are, as of this week, being brutally chased down, separated, terrorized and rounded up in the largest wild horse helicopter roundup in the program's history.
We must speak up, show up, and take action, Meredith. Will you sign and then share our emergency petition — now at 13,000 individual voices — demanding an immediate moratorium on roundups and a Congressional investigation into the BLM's rampant animal welfare violations and failure to heed Congress' directives to implement fertility control as a humane alternative to brutal roundups?

We're doing EVERYTHING in our power to intervene when and where we can to protect our wild horses. In the field, in the courts, on Capitol Hill and online with emails like this and the launch of nationwide petitions and ads shared and seen by tens of thousands of people.
We're also demanding that Secretary of Interior David Bernhardt retract the wild horse policy decisions made during the unlawful tenure of William Perry Pendley as head of the BLM. These include a shocking plan to round up 90,000 wild horses and burros over the next five years — virtually every one of these animals living free today — and efforts to codify the agency's ability to subject wild horses to dangerous and invasive sterilization surgeries and sell them without limitation on slaughter.
Progress cannot come soon enough for our imperiled wild horses and burros but it IS being made, every day, by people like you. By all of us.
The BLM's plan to roundup approximately 2,400 wild horses from the Antelope Hills, Crooks Mountain, Green Mountain, Lost Creek, and Stewart Creek Herd Management Areas (HMAs) is a stark reminder of who this public agency is working for. It's not the American people, who overwhelmingly support wild horse protection. It's the livestock industry: At the same time as BLM helicopters bear down on the wild horses in these five iconic Wyoming herds that have called the Red Desert Complex home for CENTURIES, the agency is permitting 20,995 privately-owned sheep and 9,753 cows to graze in this same public lands habitat.
The BLM plans to reduce the wild horse population to the "Appropriate" Management Level (AML) of just 480-724 within the complex, leaving just 1 horse per every 1,500+ acres. Three of the HMAs will have just 65 or fewer horses remaining when the roundup is over.
On the heels of the most aggressive roundup season we've ever seen, we can't let this continue.
Please. Sign the petition – share it with your friends and family — and then donate any amount you can spare to our Roundup Fund that ensures we can keep up this fight for as long as these horrific roundups continue.
For the love of wild horses —
The whole team at AWHC
URGENT: Save mares from surgical sterilization
Posted Oct 8 2020
We recently learned some truly shocking news, and we're emailing you now so together we can take swift, collective action to protect Utah's wild mares before it's too late.
Against public and congressional opinion, common sense, science, and multiple lawsuits and federal injunctions, the BLM is planning to move ahead with implementing the barbaric surgical procedure, ovariectomy via colpotomy, on wild mares, this time targeting the federally-protected wild horse herds of Utah's Confusion Herd Management Area (HMA), 90 miles northwest of Delta.
This marks the FOURTH time the agency has tried to get this cruel procedure off the ground, at the urging of the livestock industry. We've been fighting this tooth and nail from day one – with legal efforts, congressional pressure and modeling safer, more scientific alternatives for sterilization. We cannot give up now.
Will you join me in taking action TODAY to speak out against this unconscionable – and unpopular – move? Ask your Senators and Representative to stop the BLM from performing this brutal and dangerous procedure on wild mares.
It's unacceptable for the BLM to once again attempt to proceed with this gruesome sterilization procedure that involves a veterinarian cutting into a mare's vaginal wall, placing a hand and arm through the vagina in the abdominal cavity, manually (and blindly) locating the ovaries before severing and removing them with a rod-like chain tool called an ecraseur. It's not only cruel and inhumane, it's also an unnecessary waste of our taxpayer dollars, particularly when a more cost-effective and humane control alternative exists with the PZP birth control vaccine. In fact it's ready RIGHT NOW to deploy on the range.
We already have champions in Congress speaking up against this abuse. Last summer, Senator Cory Booker spearheaded a sign-on letter to Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, expressing concerns over the proposed surgical sterilization experiments planned by the agency. Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) quickly followed suit in the House and sent a bipartisan letter to the Secretary signed by 30 members.
AWHC — backed by tens of thousands of supporters like you — worked with Congress and partners this year to win a historic legislative victory in the House of Representative with the passage of an amendment that would direct at least $11 million of its annual operating budget for its Wild Horse and Burro Program to implementation of the humane and proven PZP vaccine. We have momentum on our side and we know we can stop this — we've done it before — but it's going to take all of us speaking up right now.
Will you join us?

NEWS: Wild horses could really use your help

A Heart-Wrenching Scene at the Diamond Complex HMA
Earlier this week, our team set out to observe yet another devastating roundup, this one at the Diamond Complex in Nevada, where the BLM plans to roundup 1,225 innocent wild horses, permanently removing 1,165 of them from their home on the range. In just one day, we watched as 126 horses lost their freedom, and three lost their lives.
The scenes were both heart-wrenching, and unacceptable. At AWHC, we pride ourselves for our ability to document these roundups in order to keep the BLM accountable, but as lovers of wild horses, watching scenes like the one captured in the video below never gets easier. Nonetheless, we know how important BEING THERE, and bear witness to this heart-wrenching mistreatment of our wild horses and burros. We will never stop showing up, and doing everything in our power to keep them wild and free.
If you have a minute, please take the time to watch this video, chip in any amount you are able to afford today to our Roundup Fund, and share this with your friends. We can't keep letting the BLM get away with this violence and need to make ourselves seen and heard.

Tell the Forest Service to STOP Roundups Amid Red Flag Fire Warnings
What they're doing right now is completely unconscionable.
Last week, we contacted you about the ongoing reckless management practices being carried out against the Devil's Garden wild horse population in California's Modoc National Forest. As if selling and shipping horses to whoever will buy them for just $1 — — with no oversight, or safeguards in place –isn't bad enough, it gets worse…
Right now, in the middle of record-breaking heat and wildfires, in unhealthy air quality conditions and while under a red flag fire warning, Modoc National Forest officials are STILL using helicopters to run down and round up desperate wild horses, as they are forced to run for miles struggle to breathe in the smoky conditions.
Already, 195 horses have been rounded up since last week, and it's only going to get worse for these imperiled horses and their foals unless we speak up RIGHT NOW and demand an end to the Forest Service's brutal treatment of California's wild horses. Will you join me and sign the petition demanding an immediate STOP to roundups during unsafe wildfire conditions?
This latest — and most egregious practice — joins a LONG and growing list of completely reckless management practices carried out by Modoc National Forest leadership that more than 10,000 of us have spoken up against sending letters, making calls and sharing on social media — including:
Selling horses for $1 apiece, with no agency-wide system to vet potential buyers and lax policies such as allowing one individual to purchase up to 24 horses a day;
Providing free – or heavily subsidized – transportation to private individuals who purchase large numbers of horses using in part, federal funding;
Allowing Modoc staff to make their own determinations on to whom to sell horses and which buyers are eligible for free transportation based on a "case by case basis."
We can't sit back and let this gross disregard for the welfare of our wild horses go uncontested, or continue under the radar.
Will you speak out NOW by signing this petition to demand that the Forest Service cancel the roundup due to these unsafe wildfire conditions and work instead to manage the Devil's Garden wild horses humanely in the wild?

AWHC Announces Annual Stay Wild Event on Oct. 1
In case you missed our announcement last week, we wanted to take this opportunity to express our excitement for our annual Stay Wild Event on Oct. 1! We decided to bring the wildness right to your screen with a creative twist to a virtual event that you won't want to miss.
This year, we'll bring talented performers, influencers, and top wild horse advocates in America into your homes for an exceptional evening of charity and entertainment. We really hope that you'll be able to join us.
WHEN: Oct 1, 2020, Pre-Show: 4:45 PM, PDT, Main Event: 5:00 – 6:00 PM PDT
WHY: To raise funds for AWHC and our ongoing work to Keep Wild Horses Wild
We hope you stay safe and well this weekend and as always, thank you for your support in helping our wild horses stay free and wild!
– The AWHC Team
LAST day to submit your comment
Posted Sep 8 2020
We have only 24 hours to speak up on behalf of wild horses before the BLM closes comments to its National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board meeting.
Later this month, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will hold a virtual gathering of the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board. There they will discuss the ongoing management of wild horses and burros on public lands, as well as "measures for increasing the placement of wild horses and burros into good homes through adoptions and sales."
While adoption of captured wild horses is the best outcome for captured horses and burros, it should be the very last option when discussing population management.
There's a better, more humane, scientific AND cost effective way to manage wild horse and burro populations and AWHC is demonstrating how that's done with our innovative gold standard PZP fertility program.
Wild horses and burros cannot speak for themselves at this meeting, so they need us to speak up for them and act as citizen advisors. Comments are due TOMORROW so make sure you have your say, today;
Without pressure from people like you, the BLM will have no reason to cease the roundups that harm or kill innocent animals every year. Ranchers who graze private livestock on public lands and their well funded lobbyists will make sure their voices are heard. We need to be prepared to do the same.
Speak up for wild horses and burros: Submit your comment today.
Thank you for lending your voice.
— AWHC
PS — You can join the September 24-25 meetings at BLM.gov/live.
Late summer but no end in sight
As the end of summer approaches, children return to school (virtually or in person), Congress nears the end of its recess and our wild horses and burros across the West continue to endure a punishing and brutal summer roundup season. August was a busy, productive and at times heartbreaking month for our staff, partners and volunteers as we utilized the generous contributions from AWHC supporters to fight for the future of these iconic animals. Thanks to your support, we were able to send more people than ever to the field to observe, document and speak up against abuse at the roundups, launch a series of Senate ads to increase support for wild horse and burro protection, and continue to deliver humane fertility control to wild mares living on Nevada's Virginia Range, surpassing 2,400 treatments delivered!
DEADLINE: Submit Comment to National Wild Horse and Burro Citizen Advisory Board
Wild horses and burros need your voice, as a citizen protector:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) just announced a virtual gathering of the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board September 23-24.
This is the first time the Advisory Board will meet since the BLM delivered its deadly report to Congress detailing a plan to round up nearly every wild horse and burro living today at a cost to taxpayers of $1 billion in just five years. These board members are supposed to represent stakeholders in the wild horse and burro issue. The largest stakeholder is the American public, which overwhelmingly wants our wild horses protected and preserved for generations to come. However, the Advisory Board is stacked with representatives from special interests, and consistently overlooks the public interest to promote the cattle industry's mass mustang roundup agenda.
The meeting will be held virtually this year, making participation easy. Now more than ever, our wild horses and burros need your voice to demand protection and humane management of these national icons on our public lands.
Do you have 3 minutes right now to submit a public comment by September 9?
Without representation by people like you, Meredith, the BLM will have no reason to cease the roundups that harm or kill innocent animals every year. For profit ranchers and their lobbyists will show out in droves, and we need to be prepared to do the same.
Thank you for lending your voice to keeping our wild horses and burros safe and wild.
Late Summer Roundup Update
Last week, as the roundup in the Sulphur Herd Management Area concluded, we held the 563 wild horses who were captured, and the 8 who died, in our hearts and minds. The Sulphur roundup took place in Utah, scene of the most brutal incidents of the year, resulting in the death and injuries of too many innocent horses.
This summer's roundups have been long and aggressive, and will continue through February of next year. One in particular, at the Shawave Mountain HMA, concluded on August 24, with the capture and permanent removal of 1,653 wild horses — with sometimes over 150 captured in a single day — and the total eradication of wild burros from the area, with 220 of these innocent animals removed. By the end of the month-long ordeal, the death count was up to 12. Thanks to the support of thousands of people reading emails just like this one, our observers were onsite at the Shawave roundup and at the other helicopter operations that have occurred this summer to document and share what's happening with the public.
Our representatives also demand that the BLM comply with its own animal welfare standards at these helicopter capture operations, and gather evidence of abuse when the agency routinely violates them.
Rest assured that so long as the BLM has wild horses and burros in its crosshairs, we will continue to fight its cruel and inhumane approach to population management with every arrow in our quiver— legal, legislative, grassroots opposition, and continuing to demonstrate that safe and humane fertility control alternatives are viable.

The View From the Field
Last week, AWHC staff member Brieanah Schwartz had the opportunity to witness and work her first wild horse roundup. She documented her experience to shed light on exactly what a roundup entails — for our wild horses and burros, and for all those in attendance. Below is a sneak preview of Brieanah's experience, which will be turned into a special short documentary that we will be airing at our annual Stay Wild benefit event, held virtually this year on October 1.
Stay tuned for more on this very exciting event in the coming days, and reserve your spot today!
Brieanah bore witness so that we can be a voice — and a powerful movement — to defend our wild horses and burros who cannot speak for themselves.
AWHC thanks Brieanah for holding the line to keep the government accountable for their actions, and continue to push for humane progress.
BREAKING: Another win with Pendley gone
Posted Aug 18 2020
BIG news:
Over the weekend, the Trump Administration officially dropped the nomination of William Perry Pendley as director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).This news comes just weeks after launching our efforts to REJECT Pendley's nomination. We want to thank everyone who signed petitions, donated to ads, and put pressure on leadership to do the right thing. Your actions helped remove a direct threat to wild horses and burros across the country and is further proof that together, we can bring about great change.
As acting BLM director, Pendley notoriously called America's beloved wild horses an "existential threat to the public lands," despite the fact they are not present on 88 percent of the lands his agency manages. Thankfully, Pendley will no longer be able to use wild horses as the scapegoats to prop up his friends in Big Ag and Big Oil.
AWHC applauds the decision by the Trump Administration to withdraw the Pendley nomination and put the lives of our beautiful wild horses above profit:
We are extremely grateful to all the wild horse defenders who took action by signing our petition and donating to digital advocacy ads. Your voices amplified the chorus of opposition to Pendley's nomination. Victories like this are incredibly important for forward momentum on wild horse protections, and all signs are pointing to more wins to come. In order to build on this success, we need to keep the pressure up.
will you donate today to power our ongoing advocacy efforts?
You'll never guess what we heard…
I just got off the phone with one of our field representatives in Nevada, and he told me something that I have to share with you: This week, at the helicopter roundup in the Shawave Herd Management Area, a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee complained to him about the House amendment we and our coalition partners worked to pass this month, which would require the BLM to spend $11 million of $21 million in additional Fiscal Year 2021 funding on fertility control.
The BLM employee asked:"how are we supposed to keep removing horses if your amendment passes?"… exactly. THIS, along with what our champions in Congress are telling us, is how we know what we're doing has the potential to really make a difference.
And this is exactly why we need to keep up the pressure — on Capitol Hill, in the field at EVERY roundup, and in the courts when it's called for. Can you help?
At this time of year, it often feels like roundup season will never end. I know how difficult — and distressing — it is to see, and read, about hundreds of wild horses and burros being aggressively hunted down by helicopters, rounded up, separated from their tiny foals and captured all across the west.
By the end of the day on Thursday, the BLM had removed 913 wild horses as well as ALL of the 220 wild burros from the Shawave HMA in Nevada. Tragically, 8 wild horses and 1 burros have died so far from this roundup ALONE.
You can read about the details here.
But here's what I want to stress: We'll continue to be right there with our wild horses and burros. Filming, documenting, relaying information to our lawyers standing by and our lobbyists on Capitol Hill. We will not stop until we've done everything in our power to ensure wild horse and burro management is humane, sustainable and cruelty-free.
If this is something you care about also, please consider making a donation to our Roundup Fund today of any amount so we can keep up the difficult, but important, work.
PS — We're going after those who profit off cruelty right where it hurts them most: their overstuffed hip pockets. The private companies contracted by the BLM to carry out these traumatic and overly aggressive helicopter roundups are making BIG money — most times more than half a million dollars per contract — to terrorize the wild horses and burros who call our public lands home. We know — and have proved — this money is better spent on humane, and scientifically sound fertility control measures and we're this close to seeing Congress come around to the right side of history on this issue. Thank you for all you've done — and continue to do — to get us here.
NEWS: Wild horses getting the attention they deserve!
Posted Aug 8 2020
July marked significant highs and lows for our wild horses — with wins in Congress, and tragic losses out on public lands as the BLM's brutal roundup season continues, now in Nevada.
In the middle of all this important action, some exciting developments took place and we want to make sure you hear about them!
A historic win for wild horses
Our recent win on Capitol Hill is making the news and raising awareness in the places that matter most.
ICYMI: On July 23rd, the House of Representatives held its first vote on a wild horse issue in over a DECADE and APPROVED a protection measure, thanks to the tireless advocacy of all of us, and our wild horse champions in Congress. Specifically, the House passed an amendment that will rein in cruel and inhumane roundups by requiring the Bureau of Land Management to spend $11 million on the humane and proven safe fertility control vaccine, PZP.
Together, we kept up the pressure on Congress when it mattered — sending in more than twelve thousands of emails, making thousands of calls, and reaching hundreds of thousands of people on social media urging Congress to take action. These efforts resulted in a historic step forward for the management of wild horses and now we're gearing up to take the fight to the Senate.
Here's what people are saying about our recent victory:Veteran Nevada journalist John L. Smith and members of Congress agree: This decision marks a significant step forward for wild horses.
In last week's Nevada Public Radio interview, Smith noted that this bipartisan amendment sends a strong message that Congress is looking to fix the controversial BLM roundup program instead of continuing to spend "literally hundreds of millions of dollars chasing the horses around."
He's right — and that's exactly why we advocated for the passage of this amendment while continuing to prove with our innovative, minimally invasive, PZP fertility control program that humane management of wild horses is possible.
Click here to read more about this important development, including comments from our coalition partners and other lawmakers committed to making change for our wild horses and burros.
Keeping Wild Horses Wild 101
Last week, AWHC hosted the second installment of our 'Keeping Wild Horses Wild 101' webinar series, this time focusing on the (especially timely!) importance of the legislative process in keeping wild horses wild. You can watch, and learn more, below:
Nearly 500 AWHC members from across the country signed up to learn from our government relations and communications team about the appropriations process, why it matters, key legislative updates, lobbying efforts, and how to talk to your own legislators.
Disney Plus Picks Up Adaptation of Black Beauty
It's official, Mackenzie Foy and Kate Winslet will star in the new Disney adaptation of Black beauty. This contemporary version of the 1877 novel will tell the story of a mustang born wild and free, who, when rounded up, is separated from her family and everything she knows — sound familiar?!
AWHC is honored to work with the director, Ashley Avis, to bring awareness to the plight of wild horses and promote our shared mission to keep wild horses wild. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film is set to premiere on Disney+ later this year.
Coming 2021…
On the topic of Black Beauty, AWHC is thrilled to have been interviewed by the director of the film for an upcoming documentary Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West!
This film will explore the plight of wild horses in more depth, shining a light on the issues they face while educating the public on the ongoing efforts to keep our wild horses and burros wild and free. Take a first look at this exciting documentary below!
We still have some time before the full feature documentary airs next spring but it's a very encouraging sign that the entertainment industry is stepping up and joining the fight to protect the magnificent wild horses and burros of the American West.
From the entire team at AWHC, thank you for your continued support of our iconic wild horses and burros, we hope you have a wild (and safe) weekend!

I'm personally asking…
Posted Jul 30 2020
It's been a week of soaring highs, and crushing lows.
Last Thursday, we secured a huge legislative win for wild horses in the House of Representatives with the passing of a wild horse protection amendment requiring the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to implement humane and safe fertility control vaccine, PZP.
At the very same time, our hearts were breaking as we received daily updates from our field representative at a BLM roundup in the Swasey Herd Management Area (HMA) in Utah. He had the awful responsibility of observing and documenting the traumatic helicopter stampede, capture and removal of more than 600 of Utah's federally-protected wild horses. There were many injuries, and two deaths.
I can honestly say that the abuses our observer witnessed at Swasey were some of the worst we've seen since AWHC began documenting roundups 10 years ago. And it's far from over – more roundups are imminent in both Nevada and at Utah's famed Sulphur HMA.
That's why we're working harder than ever: Deploying representatives to the field to observe and document the BLM's abuses, harnessing the momentum around our legislative victory by taking that fight to the Senate, and continuing to demonstrate the success of our groundbreaking approach to birth control. There's a lot at stake, that's why I'm personally asking if you are in a position to give $15, $25 or $50 today. We'll immediately put your donation to work to fuel these critical programs.
From July 15-July 24, BLM-hired helicopter contractors, Sampson Livestock, stampeded and captured approximately 603 Swasey wild horses, with the ultimate goal of reducing the 800-horse population to just 60 horses.
What we've witnessed in Utah is truly shocking:
A 5-year old mare crashing into a pen panel, breaking her neck and being dragged off in chains.
Terrified new foals being run-down by helicopters, falling behind and then being roped and dragged in.
Multiple stressed horses, exhausted from the exertion of a miles long helicopter stampede, one even collapsing before she could reach the trap.
Just-captured horses crashing into the panels of a dangerously small trap pen.
The BLM continued its daily assaults on the Swasey horses despite sweltering desert temperatures that exceeded 95 degrees — violating their own animal welfare guidelines — on more than one occasion.
Our wild horses need us now more than ever. Can you help?
Warning: Some of the below imagery and narrative is extremely upsetting. For a full report including video footage of the BLM's reign of terror click here.
I know some of this email is difficult and upsetting to read. It was difficult to write. But it's worse to imagine a future where the BLM is allowed to forge ahead with its deadly, costly, unscientific approach to the management of wild horses on our public lands. The next roundups in Nevada and Utah are just around the corner and it's critical that we forge full steam ahead with our work on Capitol Hill to reign in the BLM's inhumane roundups. Our work continues, with your help, and we could not be more grateful.
A WIN for wild horses, thank you!
Huge news! Finally, a win for wild horses.
JUST NOW, the House of Representatives passed a wild horse protection amendment that would rein in cruel and inhumane roundups by requiring the Bureau of Land Management to spend $11 million on the humane and proven safe fertility control vaccine, PZP.
This is the first vote on wild horse protection in over a decade and it would not have been possible without ALL of us.
We owe a debt of gratitude to our Congressional champions and the co-sponsors of this amendment: Representatives Steve Cohen (D-TN), Dina Titus (D-NV), Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), Joe Neguse (D-CO), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), David Schweikert (R-AZ), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), David Price (D-NC), Peter King (R-NY), Deb Haaland (D-NM), Ben McAdams (D-UT), and John Katko (R-NY).
Big thanks as well to YOU — for doing your part to keep America's iconic wild horses wild.
Our advocacy efforts resulted in over 20,000 emails, calls and social posts in the past week from people like you reaching out to your representatives, urging them to make the right decision. And it worked.
The House has taken a stand to ensure that the BLM will no longer be able to proceed with business as usual, spending zero percent of its budget on humane fertility control, while two-thirds is spent to cruelly roundup and remove wild horses from public lands and warehouse them for life at taxpayer expense. Today marks a meaningful and historic step forward towards a truly sustainable and humane management program for these icons of the West. Now onto the Senate!
PS — Read more about the bill and hear from its champions here.
Your Congressperson Just Stood Up for Wild Horses!
We have great news! The House Rules Committee just voted to move our Wild Horse Amendment on to the House Floor for a vote, which will take place as early as this afternoon.
This is huge! It marks the first time in years that we've had a floor vote on a wild horse protection measure, and, even better, it has a very good chance of passing!
And there's more good news… Representative Joe Neguse at (202) 225-2161 was one of 12 co-sponsors who supported this important amendment! We've listed out their numbers below so you can call and thank them at your convenience today:
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN): 202-225-3265
Raul Grijalva (D-AZ): 202-225-2435
David Schweikert (R-AZ): 202-225-219
Joe Neguse (D-CO): 202-225-2161
Jan Schakowsky (D-IL): 202-225-2111
David Price (D-NC): 202-225-1784
Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV): 202-225-5965
Peter King (R-NY) 202-225-7896
John Katko (R-NY) 202-225-3701
Deb Haaland (D-NM) 202-225-6316
Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) 202-225-4276
Ben McAdams (D-UT): 202-225-3011
The amendment would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to spend $11 million to implement humane fertility control and begin to move away from brutal helicopter roundups, like the one that claimed the life of a young mare in a horrific accident this week in Utah.
Your calls and emails have made a big difference, and that's why it's important to thank your Representative for standing up for America's wild horses and burros!

Urgent: We have a chance to protect wild horses from roundups
We urgently need your help today.
The abject cruelty of the BLM's roundup program was on full display this past weekend at a roundup in the Swasey HMA in Utah when a wild mare, chased by a helicopter, crashed into the panels of a trap pen, broke her neck and was dragged away with chains. BLM claimed she died instantly, but our observer and his photographs tell a different story.
The heartless treatment of our federally-protected mustangs by the agency charged with protecting them is nothing new.But now we have the opportunity to begin to address it.
U.S Reps. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz, Dina Titus, D-Nev., Joe Neguse, D-Colo., Jan Schakowski D-Ill., and Brian Fitzpatrick R-Penn., are sponsoring an amendment that would dedicate funding to protect America's cherished wild horses and burros. It would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to spend at least $11 million to implement humane PZP fertility control as an alternative to cruel roundup and removal of wild horses from public lands.
It's an effort to rein in the BLM's cruel, costly and ineffective wild horse roundup and incarceration program and require the agency to implement humane birth control to humanely manage wild horse and burro populations in the wild.
Here is where we need your help. The Rules Committee will be deciding later today whether to allow the amendment to come to the floor for a vote later this week.
This is huge! Please drop what you are doing right now to help wild horses and burros. One call and one click WILL make a difference!
1. Call the Capitol Switchboard today to be directed to your Representative: 202) 225-3121. You can say:
"My name is [NAME] calling from [CITY] and I would like to request that Rep. [NAME] co-sponsor Amendment 6 to HB 7608. This amendment would dedicate funding to protect wild horses and burros, requiring the Bureau of Land Management to spend funds on humane fertility control. I also request that you contact the Rules Committee to ask them to advance the amendment to the floor by ruling it in order. Thank you."
2. Follow up the call with an email by clicking here.
Thank you for helping us with this urgent request.
We'll keep you posted on the outcome!

AWHC NEWS ALERT: THIS is how to enjoy summer
This week marks the halfway point of summer, the third week of roundup season, and the end of foaling season with many baby foals taking their first steps on wild ranges across the Western United States.
We're working around the clock to make sure those first steps are free, but our wild horses still have a long road ahead.
We're like to share some small, but meaningful, actions you can take this weekend that will go a long way in helping us keep up the fight for our beloved wild horses and burros:
TAKE ACTION: Tell the BLM to Humanely Manage Utah's Wild Horses! Deadline July 27. TAKE ACTION now: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released a 10-year roundup plan for the mustangs that live within the Confusion Herd Management Area (HMA).
The BLM estimates that just 551 wild horses live on the roughly 235,000 acres of public lands approximately 30 miles north from Garrison, Utah. However, the BLM wants to reduce the population to just 70 horses.
That's one horse for every 3,350 acres! At the same time, the BLM authorizes approximately 10,400 cattle and sheep to graze in four grazing allotments within the HMA.
Under the Proposed Action, the BLM plans to:
Reduce the Confusion wild horse population by 87% through the permanent removal of 481 wild horses
Apply untested, inhumane surgical sterilization procedures on mares released back to the HMA; including the brutal ovariectomy via colpotomy method
Geld a portion of the stallions making them non-reproducing and destroying their natural behaviors
Please weigh in today against this destructive management plan, which threatens the welfare of individual wild horses and the long-term viability of this herd.
UPDATE: Last Week in Congress…A quick update about last week's House Appropriations Committee hearing:
We were disappointed when the Committee voted to move the Interior spending bill on to the full House for a vote without the amendment to rein in BLM wild horse roundups, or prohibit the cruel surgical sterilization of wild horses.
The news is not all bad, however: The bill passed out of Committee continues the ban on slaughtering wild horses and burros under the jurisdiction of the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service, and rejects the Administration's request for a budget increase of $13.5 million on top of the $102 million appropriated last year. We will have many opportunities over the coming months — including when the Senate weighs in on the agency's plan for wild horse management — to continue to push for meaningful reform of the cruel and costly BLM Wild Horse and Burro Roundup Program as Congress continues the appropriations process this year.
We will keep you updated on opportunities to encourage Congress to hold the BLM's feet to the fire, but in the interim it's important to celebrate the efforts of our champions in Congress who have been leading the charge to curb the roundups and institute more humane management methods.
Will you JOIN US IN THANKING Reps. Raúl Grijalva, Marcy Kaptur, Dina Titus and Steve Cohen who have been leading the fight to rein in BLM's cruel and costly wild horse management program?
It's important to let our elected officials who are standing up for America's wild horses and burros know how much we appreciate their continued efforts!
VIDEO: Summer on the RangeIt's warming up and just like us, these wild horses are using every excuse to cool down!
Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are home to thousands of wild and free horses, who are thoroughly enjoying themselves with some play time in the water… take a watch, and live vicariously through our treasured wild horses for a couple of beautiful minutes:
From the AWHC family, we hope you get to have a little summer fun with your herd!

A truly heartbreaking scene
For 15 long days now, America's iconic wild horses have been under attack.
The scenes we've witnessed already are truly heartbreaking: America's wild horses chased down by helicopters for miles in the scorching summer heat. Frantic mares separated from their terrified foals, roughly captured, and held for several hours without any food.
Photos taken by our field rep on July 4. He nicknamed the brave mare "Lady Liberty" and her terrified foal, "Baby Sam," after witnessing the heartbreaking scene of their separation and capture at the Range Creek roundup.
AS WE WRITE, our field representative is onsite at the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) roundup at the Swasey Herd Management Area in Utah, which began today. It's the second assault on Utah's wild horses this month. Right now, BLM helicopters are stampeding wild horses, including tiny foals, driving them into traps and forever robbing these majestic mustangs of their freedom.
Our wild horses and burros are in for a long, cruel summer as the BLM rounds up and removes MORE THAN 5,000 of them from public lands in Utah, Colorado and Nevada by the end of September. And the agency is already laying the groundwork to extend these roundups into the fall and next year. We must take action to protect them, Erica.
Our representative is in the field right now — observing, documenting, bearing witness to this heartbreak. Our staff and legal team are ready to challenge any attempt to block public observation and hold the BLM accountable for any abuses that violate the agency's own animal welfare guidelines. We're doing everything we can to protect our iconic wild horses and their tiny, precious and terrified foals. Can you help us?
Let's take a quick look at the situation on the ground so far this roundup season:
TODAY, BLM helicopters descended on the Swasey Herd Management area in Utah. The goal? To round up and permanently remove 550 horses and reduce the population to just 100 horses on public lands where over 12,000 sheep graze each year.
On July 1, the BLM began the roundup and removal of wild horses from the Range Creek HMA. The first several days of the operation were closed to public viewing as the trap site was located on private lands and the property owner refused permission, but our field representative was there to document and observe the roundup scenes as soon as permitted. You can READ the day-by-day account, and see the heartbreaking scenes for yourself, here.
In August, the BLM plans to continue the assault on Utah's wild horses with the roundup and removal of 500 wild horses from the Sulphur HMA.
Also in August, the BLM will turn its sights to Nevada, where the agency intends to roundup and remove an astounding 1,600 wild horses and 200 burros from the Shawave HMA located 50 miles northeast of Reno.
Then in September, the BLM will wrap up its summer roundup season with a massive roundup in Nevada's Diamond Complex, targeting nearly 1,200 wild horses for permanent removal from their homes on our public lands.
This outdated approach to population management is not only unscientific, it's cruel and inhumane. We are working hard to change this — in Congress, in the courts and in the field by showing that humane management works. We need YOU more than ever to keep showing up, speaking up, and supporting our work. Together, we will do everything in our power to protect America's wild horses.
Thank you for your support, Erica. Our wild horses — and their continued freedom — depends on all of us.
UPDATE: This morning in Congress
We wanted give you a quick update about this morning's hearing in Congress.
Unfortunately, the House Appropriations Committee voted to move the Interior spending bill on to the full House for a vote without the amendment to rein in BLM wild horse roundups. We're disappointed that the Committee turned its back on requests made by senior appropriator Marcy Captor (D-OH) and House Natural Resource Committee Chair Raúl Grijlava to require the BLM to implement humane fertility control and to ban brutal surgical sterilization procedures on wild horses and burros.
The news is not all bad, however: The bill passed out of Committee does continue the ban on slaughtering wild horses and burros under the jurisdiction of the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service, and it rejected the Administration's request for a budget increase of $13.5 million on top of the $102 million appropriated last year.
The report accompanying the bill indicates that the Committee believes that the BLM's plan for wild horse management lacks sufficient detail and suggests that members will be working with the Senate on satisfactory language. This presents another opportunity for AWHC and our supporters to hold Congress' feet to the fire regarding the need to force the BLM to reform its unsustainable and inhumane wild horse and burro roundup program.
The upshot is: Stay ready — they'll be more opportunities soon to make our voices heard!
*Original email below*
Tomorrow, the House Appropriations Committee will vote on the FY 2021 Interior Appropriations bill. This bill will fund the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) Wild Horse and Burro Program and determine whether limits are placed on the agency's mass roundup plan for America's mustangs.
You are in a unique position to influence this legislation because your Representative and/or Senator is on the Appropriations Committee that will vote on this bill. We have one day — TODAY — to push Congress to add critical language to the bill before it's too late.
If passed in its current form, the bill would allocate $102.6 million for the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program. This is a 27% increase over 2019 budget levels.Several key members of Congress have requested that language be included in this bill to require the BLM to implement PZP fertility control to humanely manage wild horses and burros in the wild and to prohibit surgical sterilization, including the brutal ovariectomy via colpotomy procedure.
Currently, this language is not in the bill, but it could be added via an amendment to the House bill during the full committee hearing Friday. Since the Senate bill is still pending, there's still time to convince Senators to incorporate this language in its version of the Interior spending bill.
TODAY is the last day to take action before the Committee vote. Please join me in calling your members of Congress to urge them to include language in Fiscal Year 2021 appropriations legislation to rein in BLM roundups and include funding for PZP to humanely manage our nation's wild horses and burros, who 80% of Americans want to protect.
There's a lot at stake — if Congress doesn't put the brakes on the BLM, the agency will round up as many as 90,000 wild horses and burros from public lands over the next five years — that's every horse and burro living free today and more!
So please call Congress today!
ONE DAY (today) to contact Congress before it's too late!

Bosses announce that tickets are on sale now - that's music to our ears!
The World Pipe Band Championships is set to return to Glasgow in August - uniting over 8000 pipers and drummers and 225 bands from across the globe.
Held at Glasgow Green on Friday and Saturday (August 17-18), the world famous event - first held in Glasgow in 1948 - is a day you won't want to miss.
Bands from across the world will compete for the top prize - so far over 140 bands have already declared they will take part with entries remaining open until July 4.
With Piping Live running alongside (August 13 – 19), 40,000 music fans are expected to descend on the city to enjoy over 150 events take place in various venues across Glasgow.
Ticketed events include firm favourites, The Masters Solo Piping Competition Lowland and Borders Pipers' Society and International Quartet Competition 2018.
You can also listen to some of the best live acts for free at the festival Street Café - free events include Pipe Idol, a showcase for emerging artists as well as performances for the world's most talented musicians in modern trad music.
Ian Embelton, Chief Executive of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association said: "The World Pipe Band Championships has an association with Glasgow which stretches back 70 years. We expect the majority of competitors in 2018 will be under the age of 25 meaning the future of the bands they play in and the competitions themselves are in excellent hands.
"Every band that competes will already have spent weeks and months working towards their performance at Glasgow Green in pursuit of the ultimate prize, to become World Champions. The competition will be fierce and the performances world-class which makes The Worlds a truly special occasion".
Paul Bush OBE, VisitScotland's Director of Events, said: "Piping is a quintessential part of Scotland's identity and EventScotland is delighted to be continuing its long-standing support of the World Pipe Band Championships to showcase the best pipers and drummers from around the world.
"It's particularly exciting to have so many young people taking part and showing off their musical talents, especially as we celebrate Scotland's Year of Young People 2018.

In general, we need scientific notation, if we want to write very big or very small number more compactly.
For example, it is known that mass of the Earth is 5973600000000000000000000 kg. Look how long it is!
To make it shorter, we will use powers of 10. We can count number of zeros and write that `5973600000000000000000000=59736*100000000000000000000=59736times10^(20)`.
But this is not scientific notation, in powers of 10 note, we saw that we can represent number using different powers of ten.
So, how do we define normalized scientific notation?
Definition. Scientific notation is when there is only one digit to the left of decimal point, greater than 0.
Let's see on example, what does this mean.
Number 450 can be written in many ways: `450=45times10^1=4.5times10^2=0.45times10^3`.
First representation is not applicable, since there are two digits, third representation has one digit to the left of decimal point, but this digit is less than 1. Correct representation is second.
In example with the Earth's mass, correct representation is `5.9736times10^(24)`.
Note, that if exponent is 0, we just don't write it (`5=5times10^0=5`).
Finally, let's do some exercises.
Exercise 1. Write 3562000 in scientific notation.
Exercise 2. Write -5678.94 in scientific notation.
Exercise 3. Write `0.035` in scientific notation.
Now, try to convert number in scientific notation back to the number itself.
Exercise 4. Write `1.35times10^3` as normal number.
Exercise 5. Write `-3.5times10^(-2)` as normal number.

University of Derby STEM Building
4,200 sq m building for science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)
Utilises our skills for working in live environments
Focus on real-world learning
Students benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories
Students looking to study engineering have been given a boost with the University of Derby unveiling its £11 million STEM building. It comes at a time where there's been an 8 per cent increase in student numbers studying engineering at the university.
Our team of university specialists created the facility to attract students and teaching staff from around the world, utilising our skills to build in live environments - a key factor for universities.
We were appointed for the following reasons:
extensive university track-record
know-how for live environment working
social investment programme for community
local team with impeccable construction credentials
Major investment
The new facility provides a 30 per cent increase in the university's existing site at Markeaton Street, with the project procured through Scape Group's Major Works framework.
It focuses on real world learning, combining functional space with infrastructure designed for the specific needs of engineering and computing studies. For example, accessible roof space will provide new opportunities for sustainable energy teaching and the energy use of the building will be captured to support the teaching of control systems.
Thrilled
Hari Punchihewa, deputy chief executive and finance director at the University of Derby, said:
"We are thrilled that the work on our STEM facility by Willmott Dixon is complete. It is an outstanding centre, setting the University of Derby apart from other institutions, and an environment which will allow our students to gain first-class academic knowledge in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and also to carry out research work using state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories. We look forward to being able to use the building and sharing the facility with current and prospective students."
Designed for students and BIM
The STEM building has been designed specifically for the students' studies and includes accessible roof space, providing new opportunities for sustainable energy teaching. This element will also monitor the energy use of the building, which will be captured to support the teaching of control systems.
Chris Hufford, operations director at Willmott Dixon:
"The new STEM building is a great example of our commitment to BIM and its multitude of benefits, utilising BIM helped our teams to work strategically throughout the construction process and achieve a high-quality finish we are proud of."
Nick Gregory, director for CPMG said the STEM building was another great example of the use of BIM on a design and build project. He said: "We're well known for our expertise in the education sector and have been using BIM on this project from inception to streamline efficiency throughout the build," he said. "This latest project helps the University of Derby to grow its campus and delivers state-of-the-art learning facilities for aspiring students."
High sustainability
The new STEM building will be constructed to Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) 'Very Good' standards, and the architectural design will enhance and complement the landscape.
Hari Punchihewa:
"Derby is well known as a centre for high-tech industries and engineering, and the University is doing everything it can to ensure there is a steady flow of skilled graduates ready to enter the world of work in those areas."
Other recent university projects our team have done include Cardiff and Vale College, the Curzon Building at Birmingham City University, and The Barn at Northampton University.

PS athletes – the league works on a points system so even if you are in thelead in your heat – it may not be the fastest one so run fast and go for a time!
Any idea when the results from last weekend will be available?


We work collaboratively with landowners, using our expertise and capital to achieve planning consent for development, which provides an increase in land value and inward investment into the area. The process is known as land promotion, which allows landowners to benefit from the uplift in value of the land due to planning consent, without the expenditure of time and money as it is fully resourced and funded by ourselves. The process is simply explained below.
We carry out an initial feasibility study to assess the planning potential of the land.
If acceptable, we will meet up with the landowner and discuss the process in detail, and if acceptable, we both sign the promotion agreement.
Our project team will identify the optimum planning approach for the site, ensuring early engagement with the Local Planning Authority.
All necessary reports, scheme designs and submission documents are prepared and collated, then submitted to the Planning Authority.
If the planning is successful, we either proceed with direct purchase of the land or instruct agents to sell the land on the open market. If planning is unsuccessful, we continue to the formal planning appeal stage.
Once the land is purchased by ourselves or external purchaser, the funds are released to the Landowner. We take a fee at this stage to cover our costs of the Planning process and a percentage of the uplift in value of the land, which is agreed as part of the promotion agreement.
Where we agree to buy the land, we develop the properties and generally retain them with our Property Portfolio, which are then rented on the open market.

Nalda Marie Bird [Phillips] (February 11, 1927 – September 15, 2004) was a starting pitcher and outfielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during the  season. Listed at , 115 lb., Bird batted right-handed and threw left-handed. She was nicknamed "Birdie". Sometimes she is credited as Nelda Bird.

Early life
A native of Los Angeles, California, Nalda Bird was the daughter of James Henry Bird, Sr. and Donalda Quesnel Bird. She grew up with three brothers who taught her how to play baseball. At age 10 she began playing organized softball, and a year later she joined a semi-professional team. She later became a top all-around athlete while in high school. At 17, she was invited to the 1945 spring training of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Before that, a player from Los Angeles Angels PCL team worked with her on playing baseball. Finally, she was signed to a contract and was allocated to the South Bend Blue Sox.

Professional career
Bird was a hard-throwing and durable left-hander, but had problems with her control in her only season in the league. She joined a South Bend pitching staff headed by Charlotte Armstrong, and contributed with 13 victories, even though she allowed the most earned runs (67), tied the league season-record for the more balks (six), and posted a 0.80 strikeout-to-walk ratio (128-to-160).

After the season ended, soon to be nineteen, Nalda left the game, got married with Jesse Otis Phillips, and delivered her only son, Michael. In 1947 she pitched in the National Women's Softball League of Chicago, because the AAGPBL no longer used underhand pitchers. She hurled a no-hitter in her only season in Chicago, and retired to take care of her husband and little boy. She was widowed in 1991.

Nalda Bird-Phillips died in Kennesaw, Georgia, at the age of 77.

Pitching statistics

Fact
The AAGPBL Players Association movement helped to bring the league story to the public eye. The association was largely responsible for the opening of a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988 that honors those who were part of this unique experience. Nalda Bird-Phillips coauthored the Official Song of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League along with Pepper Paire. The theme, named Victory Song, was popularized in the 1992 film A League of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall, which was a fictionalized account dedicated to the women who played in the league during the course of World War II. In their annual reunions since 1998, it is usual to hear the original AAGPBL players singing We're the members of the All-American League. We come from cities near and far. We've got Canadians, Irish ones, and Swedes. We're all for one, we're one for all. We're all Americans.

Chocolate cookie with a marshmallow surprise, and a chocolate icing. Each cookie is topped with a pecan half.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, then stir in the 1/4 cup milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, 1/3 cup cocoa and baking soda; stir into the creamed mixture. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cookie sheet and press marshmallow halves into the center of each cookie cut side down. Return the cookies to the oven for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and press lightly on the cookies to flatten slightly. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool.
To make the icing: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 cup butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and let boil for 1 minute. Brush the cookies with the frosting then top each one with a pecan half before the icing sets.


We're back today with another Cooking Lesson – our instructional posts that provide you with more details, as well as step-by-step photos for some of the cooking techniques we use in our recipes!
THEN – there is the easy everyday version which we showing you today for our Cooking Lesson. My husband Jack and I have made this recipe numerous of times over the years, and Jack always sneaks in a non-traditional seasoning – dry mustard powder – that subtly enhances the flavor of many recipes that include a Béchamel sauce.
You'll need whole milk, butter, all-purpose flour, salt, white pepper, dry mustard and freshly grated nutmeg.
In a medium sauce pan, heat milk to scalding but not boiling.
In a separate, larger pan melt butter over medium heat and whisk in flour to form a roux. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until it turns slightly tan and picks up a nutty smell.
Add hot milk one third at a time whipping quickly during each addition. Cook for 30 seconds before adding the second and third addition of the hot milk.
Add seasoning and cook for five minutes over medium heat, whisking often.
The final consistency will be creamy and slightly thick.
As you can see from today's Sunday Cooking Lesson – it's very easy to make a Béchamel Sauce! And don't forget to come back later this week for some delicious recipes using a béchamel including our White Chicken Pizza, Grilled Chicken Calzones, and our White Lasagna Chicken Rollups.
In a larger pan melt butter over medium heat and whisk in flour to form a roux. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until it turns slightly tan and picks up a nutty smell.
Add seasoning and cook for five minutes over medium whipping often. The final consistency will be creamy and slightly thick.
In a medium sauté pan melt over medium heat, add clarified butter and once hot, stir in flour with a wooden spoon. Heat and stir for about three minutes to form a "white roux". The color will be barley colored and chalky. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a sauce pan, heat milk to scalding but do not boil.
In a larger pan, heat two tablespoons of clarified butter over low to moderate heat and add onions. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add the white roux from the first step and stir to combine. Cook until very hot, about two minutes.
Add the hot milk one third at a time, whisking during each addition. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook 30 minutes.
Strain through a double cheese cloth and serve or hold refrigerated for other sauces or dishes.
I just stumbled on your site and love it. I requested a newsletter to keep up with all the wonderful recipes. So happy I found this.
We're glad you found us Patricia! Thank you for your interest in our recipes – hope you enjoy them!

IT'S A CRIME! (OR A MYSTERY...)
*** PLEASE NOTE: Moving at the end of August 2011 to http://itsacrimeuk.wordpress.com/ ***
Winged with Death - John Baker
At the start of this novel, our narrator Ramon Bolio, previously known as Frederick Boyle tells us that he is starting to write his autobiography. He begins at the age of eighteen, when in 1972 he jumped ship in Uruguay and then embarked on his early adult life in Montevideo. Soon, he meets and is taken in by Julio who immediately renames him as Ramon Bolio. 1972 is his new beginning in a country where he does not speak the language and neither does he know it well; it's a country on the brink of dictatorship and with an active resistance movement. It's a country where people go missing, are tortured and are killed.
His autobiography is not a straightforward chapter by chapter chronological account of his life either; it is cut through with matters of the present day, as if Ramon is chatting with the reader as he goes along. And if the past environment was not bad enough, his present day is also not running smoothly. His writing is interrupted by his younger brother Stephen who is fretting because his step-daughter Hannah has gone missing. Ramon rushes into reassurance mode as Hannah has done this before. But it's not too long before the police are called in. With Stephen and his wife not being the brightest, and also suffering the loss of Hannah, Ramon serves as their protector and advocate during proceedings.
Back in Montevideo, Ramon discovers the tango and he works to become a Milonguero, a master of the dance. Throughout the novel, references to what a good tango should be serve as metaphors for life and in particular, how Ramon's life is shaped over the years, based on his experiences in Uruguay. As a narrator, there is an initial eerie feel to Ramon, a sense of not really knowing him as he recalls being a cocky young man who also seems to have been prepared to be swept up by those he encountered. It is not clear what he has learned and what is the core of him. There is also a sense of detachment, as if Ramon, in his writing, is actually a spider on the wall, looking down on his life and directing the prose.
I tend to avoid the genre wars and to avoid the mention of "literary", but for me, this novel was more of the literary in nature, but with a mystery in one strand of the story. It is rich with the description of life in a country rife with resistance and revolution, and it evokes the immense tension of the situation. It pursues both the directly visceral and the intellectual (sometimes venturing into the realms of philosophy) in its prose. Here are a couple of quotes to give you a feel for the novel:
'I don't want a child,' she said. 'It's the end. Motherhood is measuring your days in fluids - tears, blood, milk, spew and piss.
The dress was black and elegant with a long full skirt, Empire line, made of soft chiffon with strappy lacing in the back, and Florencia was a lump in it.
It is simply too hard - call it impossible - to say what this novel achieves without giving the plot away. Essentially, it is a story of finding manhood in a country at risk, in a culture at risk, when life could prove to be all too short and the experience of life matters more than at any other time or place. In Ramon: what makes the man? And what did he learn of life? He certainly learned the tango and how it reflects on life, but how does his inner core direct him in later life? Obviously, you would have to read the novel to find out.
John Baker has written a good evocative and also provocative novel with Winged with Death.
Winged with Death by John Baker (Flambard Press) is available now.

Excellent review, Rhian. He's good, isn't he???
Posted by: Debi | 01 May 2009 at 13:04
Guest Blog: John Baker, author of Winged with Death Winged with Death - Virtual Tour I was struck by something Elizabeth Baines said the other day. When speaking about the writing process she said, always be prepared to put back things you've cut. This is something I've never thought about before. I've cut lots of passages, sometimes whole chapters from my own manuscripts. During the editing stage I've removed thematic elements from a novel, and from time to time, single characters or families, including all references to them made by other voices in the narrative. Obliterated them. When you cut something from a narrative you don't expect to have...
The Apprentice: Series 5; Episode 6 This week, let's start with an open letter to Ben. Dear Ben, I notice that in the car you were harping on about Sandhurst again and how they recognised the team leader in you, etc., etc., etc. But you didn't actually go there, did you? I do admire your spin efficiency, even if I find "spin" abhorrent. So, just in case you don't win and just in case you've missed it, I think you'll find the Labour party is a bit short of spinners at the moment and may be recruiting (and hopefully not with taxpayers' money). Wishing you all...

I've posted about Saint Pepsi on CasaSwoop before; in fact, he was our very first New Swoop. His original stuff is, obviously, unbelievable and very well done, but his remixes are also incredibly well put-together. His remix of Erik Hassle's "Talk About It" is a tremendous showcase of his capabilities is a remix artist. Erik Hassle's original is a minimalist synth pop track that grows to almost epic proportion with little more than a powerful, deep bass, a compelling moving synth line, and a passionate vocal. The track breathes between just a simple beat and synth, to these towering chords that seem to come out of nowhere blended perfectly with a two-part melody/harmony line. This track, for me, is defined by doing what isn't expected. There are so many subtle changes that are made that keep this track fresh and current without falling into the sort of cheap tricks that you've come to expect from these "big" synth tracks. The asymmetric beat with all the accidental hits and the surprisingly timed chord changes in the synth line kept me on my toes constantly and make the song worth more than one listen. Saint Pepsi, in classic fashion, turns this track into this sort of dreamy synth track that could easily be read as an R&B slow jam, pretty different from the original, right? After a few listens, however, you realize that Saint Pepsi stays remarkably close to the original, but makes just the right changes to put his unique trademark on the track. First, he slows it down in the beginning. The original leads with the beat, but Saint Pepsi's remix shows you almost immediately that the dreamy synth will be the star of this track. He muffles the vocal and embeds it deeper into the track instead of leaving it exposed as in the original. But don't let that fool you into the thinking that tremendous vocal is lost, in fact because it stands on the same footing as the synth line, the musicality of the original vocal is actually enhanced. There are so many interesting moments in this track, like the seemingly random moments when the beat gets trappy and takes all the focus, but somehow it all ends up working. Both tracks are excellent in my opinion and both worth a listen, or 10. Check them out below and tell us what you think!
