Pastures | Parks Dinarides
Pastures
31/08/2016 - National park Biogradska gora
In the area of Old Montenegro in the past most of the population was engaged in animal husbandry, which was woven into all life processes. As part of the herding life emerged in the specific mountain settlements from the XII century known as pastures.Livestock pastures settlements were located on the slopes of Bjelasica. There are rules herders their huts - apartments, as well as other supporting facilities of the wood, where they stayed a certain part of the year. Cattle are grazed first in the rural commune, and then on the mountain since the beginning of summer, when the growing season the strongest, until the end of August, when returning to their villages. The beauty of summer pastures is in its simplicity and functionality. With the huts were erected and others outbuildings dairy - less private huts that serve exclusively for work around the milk. It is cooked with milk feathering of the tubs, spread and bought cream - cream. Depending on the number of cattle there are pens or Stops for sheep and cattle in particular. They made the poles of the suitors, which is on top of sharp, set into the ground, coupled with wicker.
Idyllic alpine pastures life (full of joy and happiness), the best they knew those who lived such a life. The children played together, while the FIES often in the evening in one of the cottages on the Presidents gathered. There are women knitted, spun wool and comb, a young played games accompanied by song and story until dawn. Animated pastures in order to develop tourism and the tourism industry attracts nature lovers, while for those who want to learn about the traditional way of life of our ancestors, we should wait for better times.

Could Climate Change Make Our Food Less Healthy?
Possibly, and we'll tell you why.
Bummer news: As climate change continues to raise levels of carbon dioxide, some crops such as grains and legumes may become less nutritious than they are today, according to a new research letter in the journal Nature.
The researchers analyzed data from 143 comparisons of the edible parts of crops grown at two different levels of CO2 -- today's level and an elevated level we can reasonably expect to reach in the middle of this century. (The crops were rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, field peas and sorghum, a type of grass often used in cereal.) They found that higher CO2 levels were associated with significantly lower levels of nutrients like zinc, iron and protein -- though the changes varied by plant and nutrient.
Why is this happening? It's hard to nail it down to one factor -- earlier research has suggested something called carbohydrate dilution, where higher levels of CO2 stimulate more carb production in plants, which dilutes the rest of the nutrients, but that doesn't account for the wide range of nutrient changes in individual crops (e.g. in rice, the researchers noted hugely different changes in zinc, copper, calcium, boron and phosphate).
So is there any good news here? Well, the researchers point out that while we probably have a lot of surprises in store when it comes to climate change, at least this is one we're now aware of and can try to prepare for, possibly by developing special breeding programs to make important crops less vulnerable to changes.
We'll be keeping an eye on further research about how climate change might affect our health -- stay tuned.

Pirate 'Phoenix' ripe with mistranslation
September 3, 2003 at 8:46 PM ET
James BBC
A pirated edition of the Spanish Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix hits the streets five months before the official release. Plagued by constant mistranslation of certain English phrases and the like found in the novel, the author must feel sorry for his less than agile translation skills - because he or she includes apologies for the errors scattered among the roughly hewn pages.
Translation mistakes and poor graphics litter the version of the book, issued five months in advance of the official Spanish volume's release.
But the author apologises for his or her shortcomings in notes in the book.
On one page the translator warns: "Here comes something that I'm unable to translate, sorry."
Readers will also find the translator admitting not knowing how to translate the word "breathy", while on another page, it reads: "You gave him 'the old one-two' (I'm sorry, I didn't understand what that meant)."
Perhaps an indication of the author's ineptitude at translation, or just phrases that do not translate correctly from English to Spanish - whatever the case may be, this is just funny.
Money Trail


Every year, in the month of May, women from the Nahua villages of Guerrero, Mexico, get together to beat the living daylights out of each other. All the blood they spill during the fight is collected in buckets, and later used to plough and water their lands. The villagers believe that this bizarre ritual will bring the rain and provide bountiful harvests!
The festival, like many others in Mexico, combines catholic and prehispanic traditions. On the first day, women wake up early to make large quantities of food. They prepare turkey, chicken, rice, boiled eggs, pozole, mole, and tortillas, which they take along with them to the fighting grounds. At the official site, they lay out the food and decorate the area with flowers and inflated turkey bellies. They recite prayers for the virgin Mary and for the local rain god Tlaloc, after which it is time for the fighting to begin.
In a bid to find a remedy for bedbugs, Canadian scientist Regine Gries has spent nearly a decade studying the parasitic creatures. In fact, she is so dedicated to the project that she actually allows thousands of hungry bedbugs feast off her own blood! Thankfully, her efforts have paid off – she and her husband Gerhard have perfected a chemical that is capable of luring bedbugs away from mattresses.
Regine and Gerhard are both biologists at Simon Fraser University, just outside of Vancouver, in British Columbia. Their lab features a Plexiglass-walled colony with about 5,000 bedbug residents. The bugs live inside glass jars – about 200 to a jar – each covered with a fine mesh that's held in place using rubber bands. And once a month for the past nine years, Regine has rolled up her sleeves, inverted the jars on to her arms, and allowed the bedbugs to reach through the mesh to bite into her skin!
74-year-old James Harrison is a superhero in his own right. Granted, he doesn't wear a cape or spin webs, but he has saved over two million babies' lives in the past 54 years. And in real life, it doesn't get cooler than that.
19-year-old Delfina Cedeno has been suffering from a rare disorder for the past four years – she has been crying and sweating blood. Occasionally, blood also seeps out of her fingernails, belly button and nostrils.
Doctors at Delfina's home town of Vernon, in the Dominican Republic, were baffled for a long time. Even after hundreds of tests, they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. In fact, no one believed Delfina until they actually saw her bleeding.
"At first, no one could help me and they looked at me like a crazy person when I told them what was going on," the teenager said. "It was only when I started bleeding in front of a doctor one day that they began to take me seriously." Things got totally out of hand when she bled for up to 15 days and was in such a critical condition that she needed a blood transfusion.
In order to better "dissolve the barrier between art and artist", New York-based artist Vincent Castiglia uses his own blood as a medium for his disturbing paintings. Throughout his artistic career, he has used around 12 pints of blood. "My work is literally a blood sacrifice on the altar of art,"the painter says.
Back in 1991, Marc Quinn started one of the most bizarre art projects in history – making detailed self-portraits from his own frozen blood. He has been making a new one every five year or so, since then. Yes, they're creepy, but think of it this way – it must be reassuring for Mark to know that if he ever needs a transfusion, he's got a few gallons of blood he can use.
Dr Rev Mayers is an Australian tattoo artist with a passion for creating crimson artworks using nothing but blood. Using a variety of art techniques, he paints incredibly detailed yet somewhat creepy works of art.
Some artist would probably call Dr. Rev crazy for using his own blood on all of his paintings, but so far his disregard for the norm has proven very successful, as his works have been exhibited all around the world. The Sydney-based tattoo artist uses airbrushing, standard paint brushing, scraping, smudging and layering to create his realistic masterpieces that aim to depict growth, human constraint while capturing the viewer's heart and soul. In time, he has managed to progress naturally from tattooing and doing body art, to his new found passion, blood painting.

At the beginning of September 2015 (more precisely, at 3rd September 2015) was started a implementation of field activities related to the project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection - Techno-economic aspects of renewable energy and mobile robotic solar electric generators use in agriculture. The first cycle of testing of Mobile robotic solar electric generator was carried out in the village of Glogonj (city of Pancevo) at the activities related to the irrigation of vegetable crops produced within the system of production in the open field and protected production area.
During the 21st September 2015, in primary school in the village Vrmdža, Sokobanja municipality was conducted a workshop (focus-group) related to the realization of planned activities within the project Eco-village - a model for rural development and economic empowerment of villages in Serbia - case study of Vrmdža, Sokobanja. The workshop was organized by the Center for socially responsible entrepreneurship - CDOP. Active participation have been also taken by representatives of the Institute of Agricultural Economics - Belgrade, Faculty for Sport and Tourism - Novi Sad, council of Vrmdža local community, as well as all interested residents of mentioned village. Besides the extremely constructive discussion with the present audience, after the introductory speech of the project manager and members of local community, there was also made a presentation of the methodological approach for the assessment of environmental sustainability on agricultural holdings and the lecture on the topic Tourism in the rural areas: How to make the first step?
In the period from 5th to 8th December 2013, the institute "Mihajlo Pupin" from Belgrade – Robotics Centre, the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Leona Dodig, freelancer artist, had participated at this year's Science Festival, with an interactive exhibition, under the title "Alternative heroes".
A main exhibit at our stand was a Mobile Robotic Solar Generator, a trademark of modern superheroes, while it is about an innovatively designed device for using the solar energy. This device can be used for various purposes, as in agriculture, as well in other activities, and in this case was shown its application and benefits of using solar-power generators, in regard to gasoline generators for crops irrigation in greenhouses.

Johns Hopkins Researchers at Society For Neuroscience Annual Meeting - 10/19/2009
Johns Hopkins Researchers at Society For Neuroscience Annual Meeting
Chicago, IL, October 17-21
GETTING TO THE ROOT OF MENTAL ILLNESS
--Gene combined with viral infection could predispose toward several major mental disorders
Program #96.1, Poster #EE91; South Hall A; Saturday, Oct. 17, 1-2 p.m.
Using mice that carry a human gene variant previously linked to schizophrenia, Johns Hopkins researchers have found a connection between viral infection during gestation and adult behavior reminiscent of several major mental disorders, including depression and autism.
The mice used in the study, led by Bagrat Abazyan, M.D., postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Johns Hopkins associate professor Mikhail Pletnikov, M.D., Ph.D., were bred to carry a mutant version of the hDISC1 gene. The gene's name is an acronym for "disrupted in schizophrenia 1." The mutated version of the gene was discovered nearly a decade ago in a large Scottish family with an unusually high incidence of schizophrenia.
Previous studies have linked viral infections, such as the flu, during gestation with increased risk of schizophrenia later in life, so Abazyan and his colleagues decided to combine both DISC1 and viral infection to see how these factors together might affect behavior. The researchers injected pregnant mice carrying offspring with the variant of hDISC1 linked to schizophrenia with a synthetic nucleic acid that simulates immune activation produced by viral infection. Other pregnant mice carrying hDISC1 offspring were injected only with saline. After the offspring were born and grew into adulthood, the scientists administered a battery of behavioral tests.
In a test where the mice were forced to swim in a pool, those whose mothers had the simulated viral infection spent more time floating, a behavior widely thought to mimic depression in people, than the saline-exposed offspring. In another test, where mice were encouraged to explore the enclosed or open arms of a maze shaped like a "plus" sign elevated high off the ground, the simulated virus-exposed mice spent more time than the saline-exposed ones in enclosed arms of the maze, a behavior thought to signify anxiety. In a third test, where the mice had a choice between spending time with another mouse or inanimate objects, the simulated virus-exposed mice spent more time with objects than the saline-exposed mice, a behavior thought to mimic antisocial behavior in humans. Importantly, these behavioral effects were not present in other offspring that didn't carry the mutant DISC1 gene, even if they were exposed to the same synthetic nucleic acid during gestation.
Abazyan notes that these findings suggest that the interaction between genes and viral infections might be responsible for many varieties of mental illness, not just schizophrenia. "The long-term goal is learning more about this interaction so that, eventually, we might be able to prevent these types of mental illness in people," he says.

RECEPTORS, SYNAPSES AND MEMORIES: RICHARD HUGANIR, PH.D.
Special Lecture; McCormick Place: Hall B1 Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009, 8:30 a.m.- 9:40 a.m.
Richard Huganir's earliest work on memory and learning date precisely to 1970 when he carefully filled a 12th grade science notebook with handwritten data, documenting an ambitious investigation involving goldfish that was entitled: "Memory and Protein Synthesis."
Fast-forward 20 years, and this retrospective lecture by Huganir begins in earnest. Now the director of the Solomon Snyder Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Huganir will discuss the generation of a "forgetful" mouse. In this animal model, phosphorylation sites in the brain's major excitatory receptors were mutated in order to better understand the mechanisms that regulate so-called "AMPA" receptors, which mediate about 70 percent of synaptic transmission in the brain. His team directly linked modification of receptor function to plasticity, learning, and memory retention and, in addition, detected defects in the emotional memories of these forgetful rodents.
More recently, Huganir's lab has created a mouse with the opposite mutation: one that mimicks constant phosphorylation, in which the AMPA receptor is always primed. Huganir anticipates this will result in an animal that is smart but anxious as well as prone to drug addiction.
In addition to investigating plasticity in the hippocampal region of the brain, which is involved in memory encoding and spatial learning, Huganir's lab has probed plasticity in the cerebellum, which is responsible for fine motor control and motor learning.
Huganir's overview will span decades of brain research and include discussion of his study published earlier this year revealing how his team watched florescent-tagged receptors strengthen synapses — in essence, how they watched learning in real time.

SPEEDING DISCOVERY: THE NOSE KNOWS
Program #118.10, Room S404; Sunday, Oct 18, 2009, 10:15 a.m. -10:30 a.m.
Trying to understand neurological disease by studying cells in a dish is limited by the availability of the right cells. For years, researchers have relied on postmortem human brains as a source for schizophrenia-affected neurons. Now, Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a novel method via nasal biopsies of schizophrenia patients, establishing a faster way to make neurons in a dish for further study.
"Nasal biopsies are more efficient than the standard skin biopsy for use in conventional methods of generating induced pluripotent stem cells," saysAkira Sawa, M.D., Ph.D., director of the program in molecular psychiatry at Johns Hopkins. "Our process takes two weeks, compared to the 12 months it might take to generate cells otherwise."
Taking a tiny bit of skin tissue from inside of the nose, the researchers then grow that sample of cells in a dish. Nasal biopsies, unlike standard skin biopsies taken from an arm, contain neural stem cells, which, according to Sawa, grow more easily in a dish and thus provide more cells to work with. The team then separates the neural cells from the other cells in the biopsy with molecular tricks that they plan to patent.
"Critics have suggested that neuronal cells grown from the nose are not the same as those isolated from the brain," says Sawa. "But we've tested them and they share many of the same markers and respond similarly to stimulation."
The team hopes that these cells will be used by many to study conditions like schizophrenia, mood disorders, and other neuropsychiatric disorders, and provide a system to tease apart molecular mechanisms underlying the disease as well as response to drugs and potential treatments.

NERVE TRANSPLANTS AS POSSIBLE TREATMENT FOR ALS-RELATED FOR ALS-RELATED RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Program #327.2, Poster G1; South Hall A, Monday, Oct. 19, 2009, 9 a.m. - 10 a.m.
Because the inability to breathe is an ultimate cause of death of patients with ALS, Johns Hopkins scientists are targeting the diaphragm as a therapeutic target by transplanting stem cells directly into rats' cervical spinal cords, precisely where the motor neurons that control this respiratory muscle are located.
"We are transplanting stem cells that will become astrocytes because these cells play an important role in maintaining the health of motor neurons," says Angelo Lepore, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Nicholas Maragakis, M.D., associate professor of neurology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
The team showed that transplanting rat-derived stem cells into the rodents' cervical spinal cords helped slow down the decline of diaphragm function and therefore extended survival in the rat model of ALS. Their findings show that a targeted delivery of stem cells to the cervical spinal cord is a promising therapeutic strategy because even the partial rescue of motor neurons resulted in a decreased loss of respiratory function.
"I think that we first need to examine the potential of human-derived cells following transplantation before we can say whether this strategy will work in human patients," Lepore says. "While the initial results are promising, a number of key experiments must be conducted before this therapy is translated to the clinic, including testing the efficacy of a similar class of human stem cells."

GINGKO DELIVERS STRIKE FOR STROKE
--Ancient herbal remedy keeps blood flowing in brain
Program #332.16, Poster #I37; South Hall A; Monday, Oct. 19, 11 a.m. – 12 a.m.
Gingko biloba has long been used as a remedy for a variety of ailments, from allergies to leg cramps to dementia. While many of these claims haven't panned out in clinical trials, some evidence has shown that this herb could help stem stroke damage. Now, Johns Hopkins scientists have an explanation for this herb's success in stroke: In a mouse model, gingko appears to help restore blood flow in the brain.
Sylvain Doré, Ph.D., associate professor of anesthesiology/critical care medicine and pharmacology and molecular sciences, and Zahoor Shah, Ph.D., a former instructor at Johns Hopkins who is now an assistant professor at the University of Toledo, pretreated some mice for seven days with a standardized extract of gingko or with a placebo. The researchers then simulated a stroke by blocking a major artery in the rodents' brains. The team monitored blood flow before, during, and after the simulated stroke. They found that mice who received the gingko extract had significantly greater blood flow through the artery for at least 90 minutes after the stroke ended than mice who received the placebo.
The team also found that gingko delivered after a stroke can offer some therapeutic protection. Mice that weren't pretreated with gingko but were fed the extract four hours after the simulated stroke had more than 20 percent less brain damage and fewer behavioral deficits than mice fed a placebo after the stroke.
Doré notes that in his previous studies, he's shown that gingko extract appears to increase cell content of heme oxygenase-1, a protein that appears to protect nerves and has metabolites that dilate blood vessels. "For many herbal extracts, the benefits are anecdotal, but we're narrowing down the basis for gingko's success in protecting against stroke damage, at least in preclinical models," he says. He and his team are currently working on defining which ingredients in gingko extract are responsible for this effect.

In a bid to diversify their investment portfolios or seek investment opportunities with high returns, Kenyans risk taking up investment opportunities that have the potential of exposing them to unmitigated risks. In pursuit of outsized returns some investors temporarily forgot the misery that befell investors in pyramid schemes which similarly promised returns that were clearly unsustainable.
To this day, investors who lost funds in those schemes are still hoping that they will get some form of compensation, which may be a challenge, considering the entities were not under the supervision of any regulator. The onset of technology, which by and large has made financial transactions more efficient among other positive attributes, has also come with exposure to unregulated investment opportunities offered mainly through online platforms.
While there are still discussions around the regulation of virtual/crypto and digital currencies in Kenya, Kenyans are quietly investing and not so quietly investing in other emerging areas such as Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and unregulated online foreign exchange trading.
Most of the entities offering such alternative investment opportunities may not be licensed which exposes investors to unmitigated risks.
While some of these investment platforms and activities have caught the attention of the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), and action is being taken to protect investors, there are potentially many more out there where Kenyans are potentially exposed. The CMA has therefore come out to caution investors participating in ICOs and unregulated online foreign exchange trading platforms.
To attract investors, most of the entities involved seem to promise outsized returns which may not be sustainable in the long run.
Global trends in the unregulated digital currencies demonstrate that the crypto-asset market is uncertain and has experienced accelerated boom and bust cycles which may expose investors to substantial losses.
At the global level, the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the international body that brings together the world's securities regulators, has identified several risks associated with ICOs.
These include; heightened potential for fraud as they are mainly internet-based; cross-border distribution risks – recovery of investors' funds in the event of a collapse if ICO is operating outside the investor's jurisdiction; information asymmetry – retail investors may not be able to understand the risks, costs and expected returns arising from the investment; and liquidity risks - insufficient liquidity to support reliable trading and market-making activities.
There are also unmitigated risks in online foreign exchange trading through platforms of unlicensed entities, where investors risk losing their investments and may not be protected by the law.
While the Authority is protecting investors in the capital market, investors are advised to avoid participating in investment opportunities offered by unregulated entities, as there may be no recourse in the event of a collapse and/or loss of their investments. Kenyans are reminded that an informed investor is the best protected investor.
Anthony Mwangi, head of corporate communications, Capital Markets Authority.

Iberia (, en latín: Hiberia) era el nombre exónimo usado por los antiguos griegos y romanos para designar al antiguo reino georgiano de Kartli () (siglo IV a. C. a siglo V d. C.), que ocupaba el este y el sudeste de la actual Georgia.

Se usan los términos Iberia caucásica, Iberia del Este o Iberia asiática para distinguir esta región caucásica de la península ibérica. Los íberos del Cáucaso formaron una base para el futuro Estado georgiano y, al mismo tiempo que los colchis de Cólquida (otro antiguo reino situado en la costa oriental del mar Negro), el núcleo de la población georgiana actual.

Historia

Primeros tiempos

El área estaba habitada por varias tribus emparentadas entre sí, llamadas generalmente íberos por los autores antiguos. El reino local de Kartli recibe su nombre de un jefe mítico, Kartlos.

Los moscos (tubal y mesec) mencionados por varios historiadores clásicos y los sasper, sus posibles descendientes (nombrados por Heródoto), podrían haber tenido un papel relevante en la consolidación de las tribus de la región. Probablemente, el origen etimológico de «Iberia» derive de su nombre (Sasper >Speri >Hberi >Iberi). Los moscos se habrían trasladado al noreste en una migración. La principal tribu eran los mtskheta, que darían nombre a la capital. Los autores medievales georgianos llamaban a su primer asentamiento Arrian-Kartli, bajo el gobierno persa de la dinastía aqueménida. Tras ello, fueron gobernados por un príncipe local conocido como Mamasakhlisi.

La fuente medieval de Moktsevai Kartlisai («Conversión de Kartli») habla además de Azo y su gente, que se asentaron en la futura capital de Mtskheta. Otra crónica del país, Kartlis Tskhovreba («Historia de Kartli»), dice que Azo sería un oficial de Alejandro Magno que asesinó a un gobernante local y conquistó el territorio, siendo expulsado por Pharnawaz I de Iberia.

La caída del reino
La continua rivalidad entre Bizancio y Persia por la supremacía en el Cáucaso, y la fallida insurrección (523) de los georgianos, liderados por Gurgen, trajo trágicas consecuencias para el país. Desde entonces el Rey de Iberia tuvo solo un poder formal, mientras que el país fue administrado por los persas. En 580 Hormizd IV (578-590) abolió la monarquía después de la muerte del rey Bakur III, e Iberia se convirtió en una provincia persa, administrada por un marzpan (gobernador). Los nobles georgianos solicitaron ayuda al emperador Mauricio de Constantinopla para hacer resurgir el reino de Iberia en 582, pero en 591 Bizancio y Persia acordaron entre sí la división de Iberia, cayendo Tiflis en manos persas y Mtskheta bajo control de Bizancio.

Al inicio del , la tregua entre Bizancio y Persia llegó a su fin. El príncipe de Iberia Stephanos I (hacia 590-627) decidió en 607 aunar sus fuerzas con Persia para reunir todos los territorios de Iberia, una meta que pareció llevar a cabo. No obstante, la ofensiva del emperador Heraclio en 627-628 llevó a la derrota de los georgianos y persas, y aseguró el predominio bizantino en el este y oeste de Georgia hasta la invasión del Cáucaso por los árabes.

El período árabe
Los árabes llegaron a Iberia en torno al 645 y forzaron a su eristavi (príncipe) Stephanoz II (637-ca. 650) a cesar su lealtad hacia Bizancio y reconocer al Califato como su protector. Iberia se convirtió así en un Estado tributario, y el emir árabe fue instalado en Tiflis hacia el año 653. A principios del , el príncipe Ashot I (813-830), de la nueva dinastía de los Bagrationi, se aprovechó del debilitamiento del dominio árabe para erigirse, desde su base en el sudoeste de Georgia, como príncipe heredero (kouropalates) de Iberia. Un sucesor, Adarnase II de Tao, vasallo formal de Bizancio, fue coronado "rey de los georgianos" en 888. Su descendiente Bagrat III (975-1014) reunió los diversos principados y creó un reino georgiano unido.

Íberos del este y del oeste
La similitud del término «Iberia» con los antiguos habitantes de Iberia, los íberos 'del oeste', ha arrojado la idea de un parentesco étnico y genético entre ellos y las poblaciones de la Iberia caucásica, los íberos del 'este'.

Varios autores de la Antigüedad y la Edad Media sostuvieron esta idea, aunque difirieron en relación con el problema del lugar de su origen. La teoría parece que se hizo popular en la Georgia medieval. El prominente escritor religioso georgiano Jorge el Hagiorita (1009-1065) escribió sobre el deseo de algunos nobles georgianos de viajar a la península ibérica y visitar a los «georgianos del oeste», como así los citaba.

According to industry experts, within 10 years LEDs will surpass conventional lighting such as halogen and compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). This will not occur because of government regulations, but rather because it makes economic sense. The changeover is already underway for commercial customers, particularly in new construction, where newly designed fixtures incorporated LEDs. But there are an estimated 2.6 billion light sockets in American homes, making them a major market for the industry. Philips for some time has offered LED bulbs to replace conventional 40-watt, 60-watt and 75-watt lamps.
LED prices are falling rapidly. Replacing an old 60-watt bulb with a Philips 12.5-watt LED bulb cost approximately $40 one year ago. The price now averages $25. Introduced in 2010, the first household LED able to direct light in all directions — the 8.5-watt bulb — was $50. Now it retails for $30 to $35. Philips considers CFL bulbs and especially its halogen bulbs as "bridge technology" to LEDs — products that people will use until LEDs become more affordable. GE Lighting has had virtually the same experience. "Think of it as a lighting revolution," said Linda Pastor, GE's LED product manager. The switch will take less than 10 years, industry experts say. "I absolutely believe that the incumbent lighting technology will be replaced by solid state alternatives — all of them with very rare exceptions, within 10 years," said Tom Griffiths, president and publisher of Austin-based Solid State Lighting Design.
Another advantage that LED has over CFL bulbs is that they don't emit a mercury hazard into the atmosphere. Many states have been instrumental in passing laws to reduce toxic pollution in their workplaces, communities and our environment. Additionally, the majority strongly support replacing harmful products with safer alternatives when available. In the case of light bulbs, the switch to CFLs cuts mercury and other pollutants such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. CFLs use less mercury because they require less electricity to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a power plant emits four times more mercury pollution to produce the electricity that lights an incandescent bulb than a CFL for the same amount of time. CFLs do contain a very small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing – though no mercury is released when the bulbs are intact or in use. That is why it is important to recycle these bulbs. Many states provide convenient venues to recycle old CFLs, which prevents spent bulbs from breaking in the trash and releasing mercury into the environment.

"The Ship of Tolerance" Rises in Miami
November 29, 2011 by Pat Rogers Miami, NEWS, SOUTH FLORIDA
DISPATCH - November 29, 2011 (7:08 p.m.)
North Fork, NY and Miami, FL
Waving a flag to draw attention is a time-tested tradition. Hoisting a sail to encourage tolerance and embrace differences may be on the way to becoming one. The fifth incarnation of "The Ship of Tolerance" takes to the waterways of Miami this week in conjunction with the Miami art fairs. Captaining the project are artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov.
The Russian-born artists now make their home on the North Fork of Long Island. With some help from Dave Kapell of Greenport and a lot of cooperation from Miami Children's Museum and area organizations, "The Ship of Tolerance" is making its debut in America.

On Nov 30, a sail featuring artwork made by Miami children will be hoisted on a boat made by student carpenters from England and constructed in Miami, Florida.
The ship is a replicate of the original "The Ship of Tolerance" built in 2005 in Egypt, according to Wolfgang Roth and Partners Fine Art, a project sponsor. The ship is 60 meters by 20 meters, according to their website.
The ship remains on view through Dec 4 to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach. The art fair is being held from Dec 1 to 4.
"The Ship of Tolerance" was conceived by the Kabakovs as a way to shake loose the notion that differences are something to fear.
"It is a conceptual piece that is meant to reflect how divergent cultures interpret tolerance and how these interpretations overlap," according to www.shipoftolerance.org.
So far, tolerance-building projects have been held in Siwa, Egypt; Venice, Italy; St. Moritz, Switzerland; and Sharjah, UAE, according the project website. "The Ship of Tolerance" in Miami, Florida is the first time the project is being conducted in America. Another ship project is planned for the Bronx this spring (2012).

"The Ship of Tolerance" is often staged in communities where differences are causing strive, explained Kapell. The process engages children in the area and includes discussing diversity, brainstorming for solutions to ease tensions and making art.
Other times, the location selected for the project was to give children a taste of something new. This can mean exposure to art techniques not typical for the area or exploring the concept of diversity in a homogenous society, according to www.shipoftolerance.org.
For artist couple Ilyva and Emilia Kabakov, big and conceptual matches their fine art style. Ilya Kabakov belonged to a group of Russian conceptual artists in the 1980s working "outside of the official Soviet art system," according to his website. Ilyva and Emilia began making art together in 1988. The pair have collaborated ever since and married in 1992. Both were born in Russia and separately relocated, eventually settling in the United States.
Kapell, a former Greenport Village mayor, met the Kabakovs through mutual friends. After hearing about the project, he got involved by working with political decision-makers in the cities of Miami and Miami Beach to help the ship rise from idea into actuality, he said.
In Miami, the ship building began in July. Around 300 students participated in the project, said Kapell. The sail will feature around 150 artworks made on cloth. The rest of the art will be exhibited around the city. After Art Basel Miami Beach closes, "The Ship of Tolerance" will be exhibited at the Miami Children's Museum through January 2012.
Here's a look at the process:

Ultimately, "The Ship of Tolerance" may be planting seeds throughout the world to give peace a chance to grow and ultimately bloom through art.
BASIC FACTS: "The Ship of Tolerance" by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov will be on view from Nov 30 to Dec 4 next to Miami Children's Museum on Watson Island at 980 MacArthur Causeway, Miami, FL. "The Ship of Tolerance" is an art-based student project conceived and led by artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov. The Miami ship is presented and supported by Miami Children's Museum and area organizations. See: www.shipoftolerance.org
Ilya and Emilia Kabakov have exhibited their fine art internationally. Their work has been shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, the 1997 Whitney Biennial and others. The pair represented Russia in the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993. A retrospective of their work is traveling this year and next with stops expected in Scotland, Norway and Germany. www.ilya-emilia-kabakov.com/

A cairn explains how the town was named by Sir Thomas Mitchell on St George`s Day when he crossed the river.
Mitchell`s fourth expedition into the interior in 1845-46 opened up major routes through the rich eastern pastures of the south-west, leading to the establishment of centres including Roma, Surat, Charleville, Mitchell and St George.
SIR THOMAS MITCHELL Crossed The Balonne And Established A Camp, Calling The Crossing ST. GEORGE`S BRIDGE.
This was the origin of the town of ST.GEORGE.
THE SITE FOR THE THOMAS MITCHELL MEMORIAL COMMEMORATING HIS CROSSING OF THE BALONNE RIVER ON ST GEORGES DAY, 23RD APRIL, 1846, WAS DEDICATED BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR OF QUEENSLAND SIR WALTER CAMPBELL Q.C., ON 24TH OCTOBER 1988, ON THIS OUR BICENTENNIAL YEAR.


1 Corinthians 10:13 The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.
You know what they say. When you fall over, get up, dust yourself off and keep on going. But there's another bit to that. You don't want to keep on falling over in the same place again do you?
Each one of us has an Achilles heel in our emotional and spiritual makeup. A chink in our armour if you will. And that natural flaw or weakness, time and time again, ruins our day because the devil knows it only too well, and that's exactly the point at which he's going to attack. Time and time again.
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth (or laziness as we'd call it today), wrath or anger, envy and pride. Only seven of them, but it's a pretty comprehensive list when you think about it.
As I read through them which one grabbed you? Which one did you hear and say – yep, that's me! Here they are again, I'd be surprised if you don't own at least one of them: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride.
Here's a tip. If you want to have a better life than the one you're having right at the moment, you need to deal with your particular Achilles heel. I know you've tried. I know you've failed. Sure you have. We all have. And that's precisely why you need Jesus.

eBay acquires technology which will enable you to try clothes on virtually! :: Boffer Ecommerce News!
eBay acquires technology which will enable you to try clothes on virtually!
If you hate the unflattering light and cramped conditions of shop changing rooms but equally hate it when you have waited all week for your item to arrive and it doesn`t fit. Well eBay may have solved both these problems by acquiring new software which will make it possible for you to try things on from the comfort of your own sofa.
Ebay has purchased PhiSix Fashion Labs for an undisclosed amount of money. PhiSix is a computer graphics firm that creates 3D models of clothingl from photos and pattern files to "simulate the behavior" of the item, eBay said.
The innovation allows consumers to see how the clothing fits, looks and moves in various environments without having to actually try them on, given the limitations of the online shopping environment.Using photos, pattern files, and other means to assist in identifying garment behavior, PhiSix can create what it describes as "physically accurate simulations" of the clothes, with options for different fabric patterns. When it has your basic body measurements, the system can recommend a size.
PhiSix was founded by Jonathan Su in 2012. Su is a former Intel research scientist. He and his team of three will be joining eBay`s innovation and new ventures team, and will be responsible for working on ways to transform retail.
eBay said the technology can be incorporated across the entire eBay portfolio to improve online and in-store shopping experiences. Steve Yankovich, the vice president of eBay`s Innovation and New Ventures unit also hinted that eBay could possibly extend the system beyond just trying on clothes.
This acquisition could help eBay deal with the issue that many online retailers face. The problem is that many consumers refrain from buying online as they don`t have the confidence that the product will fit or suit them. Until now most e-commerce companies have solved this problem with the more costly way of offering free returns.
So in the near future we could be safe in the knowledge that the clothes we have ordered online will fit and if you are a online clothes retailer then you will hopefully see a substantial decrease on the amount of returns you receive.

With regard to the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, Britain is a key partner of China and there are huge potential and unique resources for bilateral cooperation, Chinese Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said Friday.
"Indeed, Britain as a key partner of the Belt and Road has unmatched strengths and unique resources, including an advanced financial industry, legal services and consulting, prestigious think tanks and universities, leading R&D and innovation platforms, language advantages, and close ties with countries along the Belt and Road routes," the ambassador said.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the ambassadorial ties between China and Britain, and it is also a year for consolidating the "Golden Era" of bilateral ties, Liu said.
"In such areas as new energy, urbanization and green finance, our cooperation is booming. Within the Belt and Road framework, we can jointly explore cooperation with a third party and in a third country. Our cooperation will be more than one plus one and will deliver benefits to people in China, in Britain and beyond," Liu said.
He also said the past years have witnessed growing exchanges between the two countries' young people and their active contribution to advancing China-Britain relations.
"I will count on the young icebreakers to be the champions of the Belt and Road. I will count on you to be active participants in the Belt and Road Initiative. I will count on you to be effective communicators for the Belt and Road Initiative," the ambassador said.
"As young people, you are energetic, vibrant and creative. Dynamic interaction between the young minds will lead to new and creative ideas. I believe that spreading positive energy and forging a closer people-to-people bond are exactly what we need in the Belt and Road," Liu said.

Men's soccer team looks ahead after two tough losses
Published 10 years ago - Nathan Baker - 10y ago 8
After a spectacular season a year ago, the men's soccer team has done some early traveling and found themselves in an unfamiliar situation. Despite playing two strong games, the team fell to two impressive teams during the road trip. Their first loss came against the University of Mobile by a score of 1-3. Following that loss they took on No. 6 ranked Martin Methodist College and fell 1-2. Joao Couto struck a goal to lead to the Pilots against Mobile, while Lucas Grudda netted one against Martin Methodist. The Pilots look to come back strong after these two tough losses as they have their season opener this Saturday against Trinity Christian College.
