St. Mary's Church is a historic Anglican church in the hamlet of Ashley, Hampshire, England.  It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of The Churches Conservation Trust.  The church stands adjacent to the site of the former Gains Castle, some  southeast of Stockbridge.

History

The church dates from the early part of the 12th century, and the chancel was extended later in the century.  The windows date from the 15th and 16th centuries, and the porch was added in 1701.  Restorations were carried out on 1858 and in 1895.  The church closed in 1976.

Architecture

Exterior
St. Mary's is constructed in flint rubble with stone dressings and quoins.  The walls, other than the east wall, are rendered.  The porch is brick and the roofs are tiled.  It is a small narrow church with a simple plan, consisting of a nave and a chancel, with a south porch.  The three-light square-headed east window dates from the 14th century, and has been restored.  At the corners of the east end are 16th-century diagonal buttresses, and on the gable is a stone cross.  There are two 12th-century round-headed lancet windows in the south wall of the chancel and one in the north wall.  To the west of these, on both north and south sides, is a 15th-century square-headed two-light window.  The north wall of the nave contains another 12th-century round-headed lancet window.  In both north and south walls is a 19th-century two-light window in Perpendicular style.  The porch is gabled and has a round-headed doorway.  In each wall is a five-sided window.  The west window dates from the 15th century.  There are two bell openings in the west gable, which contains the bells, and on the gable is a 12th-century cross.

Interior
Inside the church many of the windows are splayed.  In the splay of a window on the south of the chancel is a 13th-century painting of a human figure.   There are two monuments dating from the 18th century.  On each side of the chancel arch is a round-headed squint.  To the east of the door is a damaged piscina, and to its west is a 16th-century alms box that has been carved from a tree trunk.  The font is Norman.  It is made in Purbeck marble, and consists of a square bowl supported by a moulded stem on a square base.  The other fittings date from the 19th century.

External features
A pair of tombchests in the churchyard is designated as a Grade II listed building.  They are made from Portland stone and date from the 19th century, although their inscriptions are illegible.

Many people think that life expectancy is largely determined by genetics.
However, genes play a much smaller role than originally believed. It turns out that environmental factors like diet and lifestyle are key.
Here are 13 habits linked to a long life.
1. Avoid Overeating
The link between calorie intake and longevity currently generates a lot of interest.
Animal studies suggest that a 10–50% reduction in normal calorie intake may increase maximum lifespan (1).
Studies of human populations renowned for longevity also observe links between low calorie intake, an extended lifespan and a lower likelihood of disease (2, 3, 4).
What's more, calorie restriction may help reduce excess body weight and belly fat, both of which are associated with shorter lifespans (5, 6, 7).
That said, long-term calorie restriction is often unsustainable and can include negative side effects, such as increased hunger, low body temperature and a diminished sex drive (3).
Whether calorie restriction slows aging or extends your lifespan is not yet fully understood.
Limiting your calories may help you live longer and protect against disease. However, more human research is needed.
2. Eat More Nuts
Nuts are nutritional powerhouses.
They're rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds. What's more, they're a great source of several vitamins and minerals, such as copper, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin and vitamins B6 and E (8).
Several studies show that nuts have beneficial effects on heart disease, high blood pressure, inflammation, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, belly fat levels and even some forms of cancer (9, 10, 11, 12).
One study found that people who consumed at least 3 servings of nuts per week had a 39% lower risk of premature death (13).
Similarly, two recent reviews including over 350,000 people noted that those who ate nuts had a 4–27% lower risk of dying during the study period — with the greatest reductions seen in those who ate 1 serving of nuts per day (14, 15).
Adding some nuts to your daily routine may keep you healthy and help you live longer.
3. Try Out Turmeric
When it comes to anti-aging strategies, turmeric is a great option. That's because this spice contains a potent bioactive compound called curcumin.
Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, curcumin is thought to help maintain brain, heart and lung function, as well as protect against cancers and age-related diseases (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22).
Curcumin is linked to an increased lifespan in both insects and mice (23, 24, 25).
However, these findings have not always been replicated and no human studies are currently available (26, 27).
Nevertheless, turmeric has been consumed for thousands of years in India and is generally considered safe.
Curcumin, the main bioactive compound in turmeric, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some animal studies suggest that it can increase lifespan.
4. Eat Plenty of Healthy Plant Foods
Consuming a wide variety of plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains and beans, may decrease disease risk and promote longevity.
For example, many studies link a plant-rich diet to a lower risk of premature death, as well as a reduced risk of cancer, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, depression and brain deterioration (28, 29, 30, 31).
These effects are attributed to plant foods' nutrients and antioxidants, which include polyphenols, carotenoids, folate and vitamin C (32).
Accordingly, several studies link vegetarian and vegan diets, which are naturally higher in plant foods, to a 12–15% lower risk of premature death (33, 34).
The same studies also report a 29–52% lower risk of dying from cancer or heart, kidney or hormone-related diseases (33, 34).
What's more, some research suggests that the risk of premature death and certain diseases increases with greater meat consumption (35, 36, 37).
However, other studies report either nonexistent or much weaker links — with the negative effects seeming specifically linked to processed meat (38, 39).
Vegetarians and vegans also generally tend to be more health-conscious than meat eaters, which could at least partly explain these findings.
Overall, eating plenty of plant foods is likely to benefit health and longevity.
Eating plenty of plant foods is likely to help you live longer and lower your risk of various common diseases.
5. Stay Physically Active
It should come as no surprise that staying physically active can keep you healthy and add years to your life (40).
As few as 15 minutes of exercise per day may help you achieve benefits, which could include an additional 3 years of life (41).
Furthermore, your risk of premature death may decrease by 4% for each additional 15 minutes of daily physical activity (41).
A recent review observed a 22% lower risk of early death in individuals who exercised — even though they worked out less than the recommended 150 minutes per week (42).
People who hit the 150-minute recommendation were 28% less likely to die early. What's more, that number was 35% for those who exercised beyond this guidance (42).
Finally, some research links vigorous activity to a 5% greater reduction in risk compared to low- or moderate-intensity activities (43).
Regular physical activity can extend your lifespan. Exercising more than 150 minutes per week is best, but even small amounts can help.
6. Don't Smoke
Smoking is strongly linked to disease and early death (44).
Overall, people who smoke may lose up to 10 years of life and be 3 times more likely to die prematurely than those who never pick up a cigarette (45).
Keep in mind that it's never too late to quit.
One study reports that individuals who quit smoking by age 35 may prolong their lives by up to 8.5 years (46).
Furthermore, quitting smoking in your 60s may add up to 3.7 years to your life. In fact, quitting in your 80s may still provide benefits (44, 46).
Stopping smoking can significantly prolong your life — and it's never too late to quit.
7. Moderate Your Alcohol Intake
Heavy alcohol consumption is linked to liver, heart and pancreatic disease, as well as an overall increased risk of early death (47).
However, moderate consumption is associated with a reduced likelihood of several diseases, as well as a 17–18% decrease in your risk of premature death (47, 48).
Wine is considered particularly beneficial due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants.
Results from a 29-year study showed that men who preferred wine were 34% less likely to die early than those who preferred beer or spirits (49).
In addition, one review observed wine to be especially protective against heart disease, diabetes, neurological disorders and metabolic syndrome (50).
To keep consumption moderate, it is recommended that women aim for 1–2 units or less per day and a maximum of 7 per week. Men should keep their daily intake to less than 3 units, with a maximum of 14 per week (51).
It's important to note that no strong research indicates that the benefits of moderate drinking are greater than those of abstaining from alcohol.
In other words, there is no need to start drinking if you don't usually consume alcohol.
If you drink alcohol, maintaining a moderate intake may help prevent disease and prolong your life. Wine may be particularly beneficial.
8. Prioritize Your Happiness
Feeling happy can significantly increase your longevity (52).
In fact, happier individuals had a 3.7% reduction in early death over a 5-year study period (53).
A study of 180 Catholic nuns analyzed their self-reported levels of happiness when they first entered the monastery and later compared these levels to their longevity.
Those who felt happiest at 22 years of age were 2.5 times more likely to still be alive six decades later (54).
Finally, a review of 35 studies showed that happy people may live up to 18% longer than their less happy counterparts (55).
Happiness likely has positive effects not only for your mood but also your lifespan.
9. Avoid Chronic Stress and Anxiety
Anxiety and stress may significantly decrease your lifespan.
For instance, women suffering from stress or anxiety are reportedly up to two times more likely to die from heart disease, stroke or lung cancer (56, 57, 58).
Similarly, the risk of premature death is up to three times higher for anxious or stressed men compared to their more relaxed counterparts (59, 60, 61).
If you're feeling stressed, laughter and optimism could be two key components of the solution.
Studies show that pessimistic individuals have a 42% higher risk of early death than more optimistic people. However, both laughter and a positive outlook on life can reduce stress, potentially prolonging your life (62, 63, 64, 65).
Finding ways to reduce your anxiety and stress levels can extend your lifespan. Maintaining an optimistic outlook on life can be beneficial, too.
10. Nurture Your Social Circle
Researchers report that maintaining healthy social networks can help you live up to 50% longer (66).
In fact, having just 3 social ties may decrease your risk of early death by more than 200% (67).
Studies also link healthy social networks to positive changes in heart, brain, hormonal and immune function, which may decrease your risk of chronic diseases (68, 69, 70, 71, 72).
A strong social circle might also help you react less negatively to stress, perhaps further explaining the positive effect on lifespan (73, 74).
Finally, one study reports that providing support to others may be more beneficial than receiving it. In addition to accepting care from your friends and family, make sure to return the favor (75).
Nurturing close relationships may result in decreased stress levels, improved immunity and an extended lifespan.
11. Be More Conscientious
Conscientiousness refers to a person's ability to be self-disciplined, organized, efficient and goal-oriented.
Based on data from a study that followed 1,500 boys and girls into old age, kids who were considered persistent, organized and disciplined lived 11% longer than their less conscientious counterparts (76, 77).
Conscientious people may also have lower blood pressure and fewer psychiatric conditions, as well as a lower risk of diabetes and heart or joint problems (78).
This might be partly because conscientious individuals are less likely to take dangerous risks or react negatively to stress — and more likely to lead successful professional lives or be responsible about their health (79, 80, 81).
Conscientiousness can be developed at any stage in life through steps as small as tidying up a desk, sticking to a work plan or being on time.
Being conscientious is associated with a longer lifespan and fewer health problems in old age.
12. Drink Coffee or Tea
Both coffee and tea are linked to a decreased risk of chronic disease.
For instance, the polyphenols and catechins found in green tea may decrease your risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease (82, 83, 84, 85, 86).
Similarly, coffee is linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers and brain ailments, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92).
Additionally, both coffee and tea drinkers benefit from a 20–30% lower risk of early death compared to non-drinkers (93, 94, 95, 96).
Just remember that too much caffeine can also lead to anxiety and insomnia, so you may want to curb your intake to the recommended limit of 400 mg per day — around 4 cups of coffee (97, 98).
It's also worth noting that it generally takes six hours for caffeine's effects to subside. Therefore, if you have trouble getting enough high-quality sleep, you may want to shift your intake to earlier in the day.
Moderate consumption of tea and coffee may benefit healthy aging and longevity.
13. Develop a Good Sleeping Pattern
Sleep is crucial for regulating cell function and helping your body heal.
A recent study reports that longevity is likely linked to regular sleeping patterns, such as going to bed and waking up around the same time each day (99).
Sleep duration also seems to be a factor, with both too little and too much being harmful.
For instance, sleeping less than 5–7 hours per night is linked to a 12% greater risk of early death, while sleeping more than 8–9 hours per night could also decrease your lifespan by up to 38% (100, 101).
Too little sleep may also promote inflammation and increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. These are all linked to a shortened lifespan (102, 103, 104, 105).
On the other hand, excessive sleep could be linked to depression, low physical activity and undiagnosed health conditions, all of which may negatively affect your lifespan (106).
Developing a sleep routine that includes 7–8 hours of sleep each night may help you live longer.
Longevity may seem beyond your control, but many healthy habits may lead you to a ripe, old age.
These include drinking coffee or tea, exercising, getting enough sleep and limiting your alcohol intake.
Taken together, these habits can boost your health and put you on the path to a long life.

In 2018, there were about 5 million electric cars on the road globally. It sounds like a large number, but with well over a billion cars worldwide, electric vehicles are still only a small percentage.

That will make them more accessible to consumers, even without financial incentives, which have already brought down the price of electric vehicles in many countries.

So as battery technology continues to evolve, more electric cars are likely to hit the road.

Nestlé, the world's largest food company, said it will invest up to $2 billion to address the plastic waste crisis that it is largely responsible for.

"Making recycled plastics safe for food is an enormous challenge for our industry," said Schneider, in a statement, as CNN reported. "That is why in addition to minimizing plastics use and collecting waste, we want to close the loop and make more plastics infinitely recyclable."

Nestlé's total plastic packaging usage in 2018 weighed in at 1.7 million metric tons, according to Nestlé's own reporting, said CNN. From that tremendous amount of plastic, only two percent of its plastic packaging is currently recycled, according to Sander Defruyt, the expert on plastics at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, who spoke to CNN.

Nestlé acknowledged as much when Chief Technology Officer Stefan Palzer said to Reuters that "at the moment, outside PET bottles, there's not a lot of recycled plastic available that is suitable for packaging food."

Break Free From Plastic, an advocacy group, found that Nestlé was ranked with Coca Cola and Pepsi as the world's top plastic polluting brands, as EcoWatch reported.

"It is encouraging that Nestlé has finally committed to reducing its reliance on virgin plastic," said Matthias Wüthrich senior campaigner at Greenpeace Switzerland in a statement, as CNN reported. "If Nestlé wants to stop polluting the world, it needs to end its reliance on plastic," he added, urging the company to "eliminate single-use packaging altogether."

Nestlé, however, has no plans to abandon its reliance on plastic.

"Food quality and safety are paramount, and packaging plays a major role in assuring this," said Nestlé, as MarketWatch reported.

Determining the effects of media on people's lives requires knowledge of what people are actually seeing and doing on those screens. Vertigo3d / iStock / Getty Images Plus
By Byron Reeves, Nilam Ram and Thomas N. Robinson
There's a lot of talk about digital media. Increasing screen time has created worries about media's impacts on democracy, addiction, depression, relationships, learning, health, privacy and much more. The effects are frequently assumed to be huge, even apocalyptic.

Moving Beyond 'Screen Time'

Has the power of media over modern life been overstated? Probably not, but no one knows, because there is a severe lack of knowledge about what people are actually seeing and doing on their screens.

Individuals all around the world are now all looking at pretty much the same screens and spending a lot of time with them. However, the similarities between us end there. Many different kinds of applications, games and messages flow across people's screens. And, because it is so easy to create customized personal threads of experiences, each person ends up viewing very different material at different times. No two people share the same media experiences.

To determine the effects of media on people's lives, whether beneficial or harmful, requires knowledge of what people are actually seeing and doing on those screens. But researchers often mistakenly depend on a rather blunt metric – screen time.

Reports of screen time, the most common way to assess media use, are known to be terribly inaccurate and describe only total viewing time. Today, on a single screen, you can switch instantly between messaging a neighbor, watching the news, parenting a child, arranging for dinner delivery, planning a weekend trip, talking on an office video conference and even monitoring your car, home irrigation and lighting. Add to that more troublesome uses – bullying a classmate, hate speech or reading fabricated news. Knowing someone's screen time – their total dose of media – will not diagnose problems with any of that content.

A media solution based only on screen time is like medical advice to someone taking multiple prescription medications to reduce their total number of pills by half. Which medications and when?

Complex and Unique Nature of Media Use

What would be a better gauge of media consumption than screen time? Something that better captures the complexities of how individuals engage with media. Perhaps the details about specific categories of content – the names of the programs, software and websites – would be more informative. Sometimes that may be enough to highlight problems – playing a popular game more than intended, frequent visits to a suspicious political website or too much social time on Facebook.

Tracking big categories of content, however, is still not that helpful. My one hour of Facebook, for example, could be spent on self-expression and social comparison; yours could be filled with news, shopping, classes, games and videos. Further, our research finds that people now switch between content on their smartphones and laptops every 10 to 20 seconds on average. Many people average several hundred different smartphone sessions per day. The fast cadence certainly influences how people converse with each other and how engaged we are with information. And each bit of content is surrounded by other kinds of material. News read on Facebook sandwiches political content between social relationships, each one changing the interpretation of the other.

A Call for a Human Screenome Project

In this era of technology and big data, we need a DVR for digital life that records the entirety of individuals' screen media experiences – what we call the screenome, analogous to the genome, microbiome and other "omes" that define an individual's unique characteristics and exposures.

An individual's screenome includes apps and websites, the specific content observed and created, all of the words, images and sounds on the screens, and their time of day, duration and sequencing. It includes whether the content is produced by the user or sent from others. And it includes characteristics of use, such as variations in how much one interacts with a screen, how quickly one switches between content, scrolls through screens, and turns the screen on and off.

Without knowledge of the whole screenome, no one – including researchers, critics, educators, journalists or policymakers – can accurately describe the new media chaos. People need much better data – for science, policy, parenting and more. And it needs to be collected and supported by individuals and organizations who are motivated to share the information for all to analyze and apply.

The benefits from studying the human genome required developing the field of genomics. The same will be true for the human screenome, the unique individual record of experiences that constitute psychological and social life on digital devices. Researchers now have the technologies to begin a serious study of screenomics, which we describe in the journal Nature. Now we need the data – a collective effort to produce, map and analyze a large and informative set of screenomes. A Human Screenome Project could inform academics, health professionals, educators, parents, advocacy groups, tech companies and policymakers about how to maximize the potential of media and remedy its most pernicious effects.

Brazil's Indigenous Communities Resist Jair Bolsonaro
Indigenous people of various ethnic groups protest calling for demarcation of lands during the closing of the 'Red January - Indigenous Blood', in Paulista Avenue, in São Paulo, Brazil, Jan. 31, 2019. Cris Faga / NurPhoto / Getty Images
By Raphael Tsavkko Garcia
Rarely has something so precious fallen into such unsafe hands. Since Jair Bolsonaro took the Brazilian presidency in 2019, the Amazon, which makes up 10 percent of our planet's biodiversity and absorbs an estimated 5 percent of global carbon emissions, has been hit with a record number of fires and unprecedented deforestation.
'Bolsonaro Is Taking Away Our Future'

Bolsonaro, who has compared indigenous people to zoo animals and accused indigenous leaders of working to promote foreign interests in the Amazon, has repeatedly threatened to end the policy of land demarcation, whereby indigenous communities are granted the right to clearly defined territories.

He has also attacked the National Indigenous Foundation (FUNAI) — the governmental agency for indigenous interests — cutting its funding and powers and forbidding its employees from speaking to the press.

At the same time, the right-wing president has scrapped environmental regulations and is set to legalize 300,000 illegally occupied rural properties — 86 percent of them in the Amazon territory and many of them commercial farming or logging operations.

"Bolsonaro is taking away our future," indigenous conservationist Olinda Muniz told DW. "A president who encourages genocide and does nothing to curb environmental disasters is a person who should never represent this country."

Indigenous Lifestyles vs. Economic Development

A recent study comparing Brazil, Australia and Canada pointed to greater biodiversity in areas administered by indigenous peoples and is just the latest research to suggest these communities are exceptionally good at preserving the land they live from.

Yet in Brazil, as elsewhere, their way of life has been under threat since colonialists first arrived from Europe and began exploiting the land's natural resources and imposing foreign ways of life on its people.

Now, the lawyers argue in their action against Bolsonaro that indigenous lifestyles are being portrayed as a problem in themselves, "hampering the national development plans," and "infrastructure projects, mining enterprises, logging activities and agribusiness ventures in forested regions."

Muniz and her husband Samuel Wanderley, both of the Pataxó Hã-Hã-Hãe ethnic group, founded the Kaapora project in the Caramuru Paraguaçu indigenous territory in the Brazlian state of Bahia. They are restoring grazing land back to forest, protecting remaining trees and growing new ones, so the land can once more be a refuge for wildlife.

Now she fears that efforts like hers are under threat. "We have no guarantee of compliance with our constitutional rights," Muniz said. "Social movements are being attacked head-on, indigenous, black, environmentalists, landless workers, fishermen, etc."

The Kaapora project is one of many in Brazil through which indigenous communities, independently or in partnership with NGOs, are helping revive the forest and maintain traditional ways of life in the midst of modernity — combining traditional knowledge with new technologies and increasing independence from markets and governments that have rarely worked in their interests.

The Ashaninka in Acre state, for example, have established cooperatives to grow food and provide for their community. They, and groups like the Pataxó in Minas Gerais state, are also teaching non-indigenous communities about sustainable agriculture. By creating a space for dialogue with the external community, and young people in particular, they hope to pass on their respect for nature.

Staking out Their Own Land

Meanwhile, in southern Brazil, the Kaingang are working to reforest their land with araucaria, an indigenous tree which produces a fruit they can eat and sell, and that supports indigenous wildlife. For Marcio Kokoj of the Kaingang Guarani Indigenous Environmental Association, the Bolsonaro government feels like a throwback to Brazil's military dictatorship that murdered thousands of indigenous people, drove thousands more from their lands, and tortured many and enslaved others between 1964 and 1985.

"The greatest concern today is with the attacks on the demarcations of our lands, we therefore need to make self-demarcation," Kokoj said. "If it depends on Bolsonaro, he will open up areas for large-scale agricultural production, multinationals, mining. That worries us a lot."

Self-demarcation is when indigenous communities draw the boundaries of their own territory, often expelling illegal occupants, such as loggers.

Last July, the indigenous Munduruku from the Tapajós region in the Amazon state of Pará, kicked out illegal loggers who had invaded their territory which they began to self-define in 2014.

The Munduruku were armed with arrows, songs, war paint and "the wisdom of our ancestors," they said in a note to the Indigenous Missionary Council that made clear their intention to continue defending their own land if governmental institutions fail to do so.

Calling on the International Community

Kokoj too says the Bolsonaro government should not expect the forest's guardians to step aside without a fight. "We indigenous peoples, over the years and the governments, have created resistance that is still effective today," he said.

In defense of their land and culture, Brazil's indigenous communities have long allied with broader social movements, called out violations of their rights to international bodies, and above all, insisted on remaining in their territories despite threats and violence. Since Bolsonaro came to power, indigenous activists have taken the streets to assert their land rights and protest their treatment by the right-wing government.

But Kokoj stresses that support from the wider population of Brazil and the international community is vital.

The group of Brazilian lawyers lobbying the International Criminal Court says the prosecutor at the international tribunal in the Hague is expected to investigate their complaint. It remains to be seen if this will lead to an indictment of Jair Bolsonaro — and amount to the kind of international pressure Brazil's indigenous communities hope for.

Microsoft Promises to Be Carbon Negative by 2030

Microsoft announced ambitious new plans to become carbon negative by 2030 and then go one step further and remove by 2050 all the carbon it has emitted since the company was founded in 1975, according to a company press release.

Microsoft also said it will campaign for policies that force companies to pay for their carbon emissions and policies that will accelerate scaling clean energy infrastructure. The company is one of the founding members of the Climate Leadership Council — a coalition of corporate giant advocating for a carbon tax, as CBS News reported.

"When it comes to carbon, neutrality is not enough," Brad Smith, the company's president, said on Thursday, as CBS News reported. "We have to get ourselves to net zero."

This year Microsoft is expected to emit 16 million metric tons of carbon, which it wants to cut in half, according to CNN.

Microsoft created a detailed plan to take gradual steps over the next decade to reach net-zero emissions by overhauling its entire supply chain to reduce emissions. The company already asks employees to consider greenhouse gas emissions in all its business decision. Microsoft's plan includes using 100 percent renewable energy and relying on electric vehicles, according to NPR.

"While the world will need to reach net zero, those of us who can afford to move faster and go further should do so," Microsoft President Brad Smith said in a statement, as CNN reported.

The company will help fund the initiative by expanding its internal carbon fee. Already, all of Microsoft's business units pay a tax of $15 per metric ton for their carbon emissions. The company will broaden the scope of the fee to include indirect emissions from manufacturing, business travel and the electricity customers may use on its products, according to CNN.

"I've never seen that before," said Cynthia Cummis, the director of private sector climate mitigation at the World Resources Institute, to NPR. "They're going to decarbonize at a very fast rate and then [use] carbon removals to balance out those remaining emissions. That's what's in line with science and what we want to see all companies doing."

Even activists, who are notoriously skeptical of companies "green washing" their deleterious past behavior, praised Microsoft's pledge and plans. Extinction Rebellion called Microsoft's announcement "an important step in the right direction," as NPR reported.

Extinction Rebellion then asked, "Who will follow next?"

There are several methods to remove carbon using nature-based solutions, such as planting large swaths of trees or using soil management techniques that absorb carbon, to technological methods that are still in their infancy, like capturing carbon directly from the air. Microsoft will first focus on restoring degraded forests and planting new ones, while investing $1 billion in carbon-capturing technology, according to CBS News.

"Technology does exist that does this, but getting the price and the scalability to where we need it to be is a significant challenge," said Lucas Joppa, Microsoft's chief sustainability officer, as CBS News reported. He added, "If we're going to achieve what science says we have to achieve, we have to remove carbon [from the atmosphere.]"

Notoriously Morbid is a cruelty-free, indie beauty company, specializing in eye and lip makeup products. From their website, "With our unique collection of themed eye-shadows, everyone is bound to find something that teases the darkness within." International Boxes cost $20.
I have had this subscription for almost two years, and it just keeps getting better. The products are top notch--great quality and AMAZING color, and the retail value always exceeds the subscription costs. If you're in to lip products, they've recently added a lip box, too.
Lots of fun! The price is right (less than $15) and you get... something like 2-3 loose eyeshadows, something for the lips, plus maybe something for the cheeks (highlighter I've usually found). Usually around 4 full size items, all around geeky-gothy themes (Gremlins, Nightmare on Elm Street, Death Becomes Her, Charmed, etc). The brand is indie, which means it's run by only a few (2?) women, which means there's a huge TAT and sometimes things are not gonna be sephora perfect (for example, one of the lip colors didn't work out like they wanted so they had to put it in the next month's box. They had communicated this up front and provided recourse if you weren't gonna get the box, though). It has its followers, but personally I prefer the larger brands. Even then I've stuck around for this box. I love the themes because I too am a huge geek!
I wanted to like this box so much because everything I saw on the site was amazing, just my style. While the price/customer service/shipping time is all great, I was pretty disappointed in what I received. Three loose eyeshadows, two of which were super similar in color, and a color-changing lip gloss that only did a tiny bit of what it was supposed to do. I might try again at some point when the wait list opens up again, but it just seemed like even though other people really love this box, I didn't see what all the hype was about.
This is my all time favorite sub box. I was on the waitlist for a year before I finally was able to subscribe, but it was well worth the wait. The products are handmade by two amazing women and are GORGEOUS. Eyeshadows that change color depending on the lighting or how much pressure you use to apply. Glittery, chrome, monochromatic, iridescent, the type of finishes in eyeshadows is never ending. Every month is a new theme with new limited edition eye shadow colors. There are also gorgeous blushes, highlighters, face powders, lip glosses that change color, it's incredible. Plus, on top of the gorgeous, limited edition products you get monthly, you also get a coupon for a free item or 20% off an order. And always a piece of candy that goes along with that month's theme. You have to check this sub out. There is no other makeup company in the world that makes colors and finishes like this one.
Ok, first the cons - it is really hard to get this subscription. The company is run by just two girls and everything is hand made, so once you are on the waiting list, it does take a while to actually get subscribed. Plus shipping turnaround can take a while because again, Laura and Carrie do EVERYTHING on their own. That being said, this month they had a very few on-time only Vanishing Cabinets available for those not on the subscriber's list, and I snagged one. The theme was "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and featured 4 shadows and a gloss inspired by the amazing goth women of yesteryear: Morticia Addams, Lilly Munster, Elvira, and the Bride of Frankenstein. They also always include theme-appropriate candy. This month it was cinnamon Jolly Rancher. Let me say this - their products are not only absolutely GORGEOUS, but the quality is truly top notch. I am OBSESSED. Definitely get your name on the waiting list, join the customer crypt on Facebook and buy their regular inventory from their website because these girls are KILLING IT!
How do you rate Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet?


Mimosa Kids is located on the Mimosa Public School grounds. Mimosa Public School is a co-educational Public school operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training with students from years K to 6. Most students come from the surrounding suburbs of Belrose, Davidson, Frenchs Forest, and Forestville in the Northern Beaches region of Sydney.
Mimosa Primary school works with Mimosa Kids to offer After School Care and Before School Care (OOSH) as well as Vacation Care.
Sending your child to Mimosa Kids Pre School & Early Learning Centre makes for a perfect transition to Mimosa Primary School. The majority of children who attend child care at Mimosa do continue their close relationships with their peers as they move on to "big school". It creats a happy, stress free changeover.
Although the majority of our children do move on to Mimosa Public School, we also get children who will end up attending other schools in the area such as Frenchs Forest Public School and Wakehurst Public School. We welcome all to our pre school.

The beach of Sámara is considered one of the best beaches of the Guanacaste province.
The water of the wide, sweeping bay is mostly calm and without strong currents thanks to an offshore reef. Its palm trees offer enough shade even when sunbathing. Underneath there are some beach pubs and several, partly simple, partly overpriced bungalow complexes. Over the last few years, the advantages of Sámara, which were previously only known to local families and windsurfers, have spread in the so-called traveller scene, so that the place has gone through a true metamorphosis. Sámara itself still has little to see and has remained essentially a conglomeration of small shops, pubs, tour operators and hotels, even though the once only supermarket has been joined by a second one and many of the buildings have been repainted. The old-established hotels have been joined by some luxurious new establishments, and the nightlife has also found new venues. Compared to other beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula or even the Pacific mainland like Tamarindo, Manuel Antonio or Jacó, the development in Sámara has remained within a reasonable range. Sámara is still a good place to spend some relaxing beach days.
Possible activities include beach walks, mountain biking, kayaking, horse riding, snorkelling and various water sports. You can explore the waters around Isla Chora, which is situated in front of the bay of Sámara, above and under the water on your own by renting a kayak and snorkeling equipment. The private nature reserve "Werner Sauter" begins behind the village and protects the tropical dry forest of its area, which has fallen victim to agricultural use elsewhere. Those who travel to Ostional in the months from August to December and then ideally in the week before the new moon, have the best chances of experiencing one of those spectacular mass arrivals of the green sea turtles coming ashore to nest. On the days before this event, several hundred animals gather off the coast to go ashore at a secret sign, followed by tens of thousands of other turtles in the following three to seven days. The largest so called "Arribada" in Ostional took place in November 1995 with an estimated 500000 turtles. The spectacle usually begins shortly after sunset and lasts until the early morning. Other beaches nearby are:
Playa Carrillo
The wide, bright sandy bay has a perfect crescent shape and is certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Although the beach is undeveloped, there is a strangely deplaced promenade parallel to the bay. In the background there are some simple restaurants and sodas. Playa Sámara and Playa Carrillo are only separated from each other by some rocks of the Punta Indio, so that one can also get from one beach to the other on foot, including some smaller detours. On weekends, many local families come to Playa Carrillo for camping and picnics.
Playa Buena Vista and Playa Barrigona
Both beaches are only a few kilometres west of Sámara. While the beach of Buena Vista is a popular surf beach, the light sandy bay of Barrigona, often described as white, has dangerous currents that make swimming risky, especially when the tide is falling. Some time ago Hollywood star Mel Gibson bought a bigger property here. The entrance to the beach of Barrigona is a bit hidden. (Approx. 7 km from Sámara). In one of the hotels you can book (in advance) ultra-light flights that promise a fantastic view of the coastline of the northern Nicoya Peninsula.

Distribution of myosin heavy chain mRNA in embryonic muscle tissue visualized by ultrastructural in situ hybridization
Marsha E. Pomeroy, Jeanne Bentley Lawrence, Robert H. Singer, Susan Billings-Gagliardi
We have localized myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNAs in cells of intact embryonic chick muscle using high resolution in situ hybridization. Blocks of muscle were aldehyde-fixed prior to detergent treatment and hybridized with a biotinated cDNA probe, followed by colloidal gold-labeled antibodies, before embedment. Labeling was determined to represent MHC mRNA by extensive quantitative comparisons of electron micrographs from experimental and four different types of control samples. MHC mRNA was localized primarily to peripheral regions of 14-day chick pectoral muscle cells, where the majority of developing myofibrils were found. MHC mRNAs were consistently associated with the nonmyofibrillar cytoskeletal filaments which had diameters ranging from 4 to 10 nm. They were often oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cell. The resolution of the ultrastructural approach allowed us to demonstrate that the mRNA molecules visualized were not directly associated with myofilaments, suggesting that nascent chains read from those messages do not assemble directly into myofilaments simultaneous with translation.

SimCity BuildIt Now on Android in Canada… And It's Good!
Like a lot of SimCity fans, we've been on the edge of our seats waiting to find out if SimCity BuildIt was a free-to-play game, a full-on simulation, or some third thing. The game is now live on Google Play in Canada, and after spending a little time with it, this is a decidedly free-to-play affair – but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Folks who were worried this would be a simple rehash of SimCity Social (which we liked, btw) can put their fears to rest. The days of CityVille-style city-builders seem to have come and gone, and SimCity BuiltIt has crafted something a bit meatier in it's place.
In fact, if it weren't for the free-to-play trappings, I'd be pretty quick to call this SimCity Junior.
Unlike a lot of other city builders, this one takes the city management elements of SimCity to heart, but in a simplified way. You'll need to build enough water towers and power stations to supply your citizens with what they need. Parks will boost the population and happiness of the homes around it. Residents hate the idea of living next to factories and pollution. If you don't have properly located fire departments, that town's gonna BURN.
In other words, there's actual city management going on.
That said, things are kept one-touch simple here. Instead of zoning an area and hoping for the best, you can pick up properties and move them wherever you want. Building anything requires resources, which other buildings will create – so the game is as much about "let's make sure to have enough nails" as it is making sure your citizens are content.
The impressions we're sharing here are just a snapshot of the game after our first hour with it. SimCity BuildIt could be a wildly different product the deeper in we go.
We'll be sticking with SimCity BuildIt and should have a much clearer picture in our review when the game hits its worldwide release. In the meantime, if you happen to live in Canada and want to get an early start on your very own city, be sure to grab SimCity BuildIt from Google Play.

Home New Forest Selfie-seekers urged to steer clear of 'dangerous' New Forest ponies
Selfie-seekers urged to steer clear of 'dangerous' New Forest ponies
Antonella Lazzeri
A New Forest pony grazing with its foal
PEOPLE posing for selfies with New Forest ponies are being warned they are at risk of being badly injured or even killed.
Dozens of photos of visitors getting up close to the ponies across the beauty spots of the forest are being posted on social media, especially Instagram.
But Tony Hockley, chairman of the Commoners' Defence Association, says people doing that could be badly bitten or kicked by the animal which can weigh over 300kg.
Taking the photos can also end up putting the animals themselves in danger, he warned, as they get used to humans, pester them for unhealthy food, and go nearer to roads.
Dr Hockley told the A&T: "We are seeing more and more of this kind of behaviour because of the popularity of selfies and social media but the New Forest is not a petting zoo.
"Some of these animals have never been handled and can be extremely unpredictable. They have very powerful jaws and legs which can easily badly injury someone, or even kill them."
Dr Hockley added: "Every year there are several deaths in the UK caused by a kick from a horse. It is hard to understate the danger of getting close to ponies to take selfies with them, or feed them.
"Even more dangerous is getting in among a group of ponies, they can get very aggressive then. Just stay away from all of them."
The commoners who own the ponies are also getting fed up with their animals being posted all over social media, Dr Hockley said.
He said: "It often interferes with their natural behaviour and the way they feed. New Forest ponies have evolved over hundreds of years to trickle graze – that means they spend all day eating little bits including holly and all sorts.
"We have now found that thanks to people feeding them, often in an effort to get them to come close for a photo, they have stopped grazing and are hanging around car parks and roadsides.
"They only have very small stomachs so being given a large amount of food at once can cause them colic, extreme pain and even death.
"They can also run across roads in an effort to get to food putting themselves at risk of getting run over.
"The commoners are getting very fed up with it all, it is morally wrong. They don't interfere with other peoples' animals so why should they come down here and do what they want with ours."

This image from the Library of Congress shows what was later known as the "Judge Roy Bean Horse Thief Trial." That's Bean, sitting on the barrel on the left side of the porch.
On this day in 1882, a 57-year-old fellow by the name of Phantly was appointed justice of the peace by Pecos County commissioners. You might know him better as Judge Roy Bean.
The Kentucky native was most recently of San Antonio, where he had left behind a wife and kids. Earlier, he had survived several close calls in Mexico, a duel in San Diego and a near-hanging in San Gabriel, California. He arrived in Vinegaroon, near the Pecos River, with 10 55-gallon barrels of whiskey and set up his own saloon, which quickly became a part-time courthouse as well.
It would take two moves before he was in his now-historic Jersey Lilly saloon in Langtry, where he was (with some brief interruptions) the "Law West of the Pecos" until shortly before his death in 1903. His death at the age of 78 is said to have come after a drinking spree in San Antonio.
In 1896, Bean organized a heavyweight boxing match to be held on a sandbar in the Rio Grande as boxing was illegal in Texas and Mexico at the time. The fight lasted less than two minutes, but the event had a much longer effect on Bean's notoriety.
Paul Newman starred in the 1972 film "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean," but it was nearly as fictional as the 1940 film "The Westerner." In the earlier film, Walter Brennan won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Bean.
Bean was infatuated with British actress Lillie Langtry. He named his saloon after her, though the town was actually named after a railroad foreman. They never met, but exchanged gifts. Lillie would visit the saloon only 10 months after Bean's death.

Radiometric dating has been carried out since when it was invented by Ernest Rutherford as a method by which one might determine the age of the Earth. The angle of Earth's axial tilt is relatively stable over long periods of time.
Uniformitarian geologists prefer to believe, and claim, that each of their methods uses such a fixed standard. Starlight, Time and the New Physics. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta. Geologists quickly realized that this upset the assumptions underlying most calculations of the age of Earth.

This polar motion has multiple, cyclical components, which collectively are termed quasiperiodic motion. The poles also migrate a few meters across Earth's surface. Luminescence dating methods are not radiometric dating methods in that they do not rely on abundances of isotopes to calculate age. It should be noted that catastrophism is increasing being accepted in the field of geology. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
It was thought to be the product of a Archean hydrothermal vent, but supposedly it's now from a Cenozoic hydrological system. Closure temperatures are so high that they are not a concern. This transformation may be accomplished in a number of different ways, including alpha decay emission of alpha particles and beta decay electron emission, positron emission, utility hook up saskatoon or electron capture.

Documents is a piece about intuition and the recursive influences inherent in memory. When I was 18, each of these recordings worked its way into my psyche in a way that comes out every time I perform, compose, or listen to music.
I subject each recording to a unique process through which I derive musical information (harmonic, melodic, timbral, rhythmic, formal, etc). That information drives a set of voltage controlled amplifiers tied into a non-linear feedback system, influencing the behavior of the system and leaving a shadow of the original work. Documents is an attempt to reveal and subvert the influence of assumptions/intuitions in music making.


Gikopoulou, Paraskevi (2014) The Holocaust in Greece : occupation, nationalism and legacy. PhD thesis, University of Warwick.
WRAP_THESIS_Gikopoulou_2014.pdf - Submitted Version - Requires a PDF viewer.
This thesis analyses the Holocaust in occupied Greece and its effects on Greek political life. It is undertaken through a socio-political and historical interpretation of texts and archival sources. It draws especially from the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt and her understanding of totalitarianism, nationalism, statelessness and 'evil'. I aim to understand the changed position of Jews in Greek society from the fall of the empires, through the emergence of nation-states, to the period of deportations and extermination. I do so to comprehend the rise of nationalism in Greece. I examine a mix of primary and secondary materials – histories, memoirs and unpublished archives of Nazi rule – to cast light on the anti-Semitic laws implemented in Greece during the Nazi occupation and on the relationship of the Holocaust to the political regime that emerged in Greece after the war. I place particular emphasis on Jewish participation in the Greek Resistance, the political conflicts that emerged within the larger resistance movement, and the sensitive issue of collaboration, which was to shape much of the political agenda in Greece after the war. Through the use of diplomatic papers and Foreign Office files, I show how democratic anti-Nazi resistance movements were suppressed after the war by fascist forces and through the reluctance of the Greek bourgeois politicians and British officials to intervene. The politics of collaboration, underplayed in the current literature, also casts light on why perpetrators of the Greek Holocaust generally escaped legal prosecution in Greece and why resistance fighters were prosecuted through the implementation of martial laws and emergency decrees. Finally this thesis explores the ties that bind repression of the memory of the Greek Holocaust, to the development in post-war Greece of nationalist values.

Obelia dichotoma is a broadly distributed, mainly marine but sometimes freshwater, colonial hydrozoan in the order Leptothecata that forms regular branching stems and a distinctive hydrotheca. O. dichotoma can be found in climates from the arctic to the tropics in protected waters such as marches and creeks but not near open coasts like beaches in depths up to 250m. O. dichotoma uses asexual and sexual reproduction and feeds on mainly zooplankton and fecal pellets. Obelia dichotoma has a complex relationship with the ecosystem and many economic systems.

Description
A thecate hydroid with a hydrotheca long enough to enclose the hydranth, feeding polyp, when fully contracted. The bell or goblet shaped hydrotheca lacks an operculum, but contains a diaphragm at the base and changes to a brown color over time. The rim of the hydrotheca is smooth or softly toothed and can be used to distinguish O. dichotoma from other Obelia species. O. dichotoma polyp heigh ranges from 215-300 μm and diameter from 210-275 μm. The colony of O. dichotoma forms slender alternative branching stems with hydrocauli up to 350 mm tall with the hydranths located on thin stalks. The medusae of O. dichotoma swim freely in water and are disk shaped with 16 or more tentacles. The medusae tentacles are not highly specialized but contain nematocysts grouped in rings.

Distinction from Obelia sp.
Obelia dichotoma can be distinguished from other species using the morphological traits of the organism. Obelia bidentata has toothed rims on the hydrotheca and, unlike O. dichotoma, older parts of the colony do not turn brown. Obelia geniculata is unbranched and usually lives on brown algae. Obelia dichotoma can be distinguished from Clytia spp. by counting tentacle numbers because Clytia have less than 16 tentacles. Another genus, Gonothyraea, can be distinguished from O. dichotoma because medusae remains attached to the polyps and is not free swimming.

Distribution and habitat
Obelia dichotoma is widely distributed throughout protected marine and freshwaters and, like many other hydroids, colonies attach to structures such as pilings, debris, seaweeds, grasses, and barnacles at depths from <25m up to 275m. O. dichotoma is relatively uncommon in the open coast such as beach areas. This hydroid has been found on both coasts of the U.S., Mediterranean Sea, around Australia, and the southern tip of Africa.

Biology

Life cycle
Obelia dichotoma house the reproductive polyps in the angles of the branches. The polyps develop and bud off to form medusae about 0.05 mm in diameter at release that grow to about 5 mm at maturity. The medusae are either male or female with nematocysts on tentacles and produce either sperm or eggs. The fertilized egg develops into a planula larvae that settle out of the water column during the winter, spring, and early summer and grow colonies for 2–3 months.

Hydroids are usually considered to be carnivorous organisms that feed mainly on zooplankton and, while this is generally accepted for Obelia dichotoma, a study of the O. dichotoma population in the Kongsfjorden (Spitsbergen, Arctic) found that this population was more omnivorous in nature based on their diet. This population had a diet high in fecal pellets, organic matter, and micro algae which may be due to an environmental adaptation to the high content of these substances in the waters. This adaptation may also be attributed to the large fluctuations of zooplankton populations in this area of the Arctic. Obelia dichotoma, being one of the smaller species of hydroids, has inherent difficulty capturing prey whereas Tubalaria larynx, a larger species, that is mainly carnivorous, has the ability to capture prey with ease. Digestion time for cnidarians is highly dependent on the temperature and conditions of the environment each organism is in. The same study in the Kongsfjorden, found that O. dichotoma had a digestion time for diatoms of about 20 hours at 6 °C.

Environmental impact

Influences on environment
Obelia dichotoma, along with many other hydroids, are responsible for a large impact on many marine fish farming industries through fouling properties. In particular, the finfish industry in the Mediterranean Sea has been impacted by O. dichotoma and similar hydroids in two ways. These hydroids attach to multiple structures used in the industry including ropes, nets, pilings, and cages and add weight and drag to the equipment. The hydroids can also invade the gills of the farmed fish and cause disease and other problems for the quality of the fish. O. dichotoma can cause envenomations and gill disorders through contact with the fish provided by the close proximity in the farm.

}Not only can O. dichotoma have a negative impact on the environment through disease and obstruction, the O. dichotoma can also benefit from environmental impact humans have on the oceanic environment. Most hydroids and similar organisms, respond negatively to increasing concentrations of fecal matter in the aqueous environment but, according to a 2018 study of the coral reefs in Havana Harbour, Cuba, O. dichotoma along with a few other species were found to have a positive reaction to increasing fecal matter concentrations in the environment.

Human interaction has an immense influence on the environment, while some are positive many are also negative, particularly in the form of over-harvesting, climate change through pollution, and habitat destruction all of which are most common in coastal regions, one of O. dichotoma's primary habitats. Human interaction also involves contaminants to the environment. Such contaminants can be metals which benefit the ecosystem at trace levels or artificial chemical which can have unknown consequences ranging from beneficial to extremely dangerous. Human interaction along with invasive species contribute to environmental disturbance which influences the diversity and abundance in ecosystems. Diversity within an ecosystem has shown to have a humped shaped relation to the productivity of that ecosystem where diversity increases productivity to a critical point then decreases. For the most part hydroids, and other benthic or benthopelagic organisms show negative consequences, decreased diversity and abundance, to increased disturbance in the ecosystem, but Obelia dichotoma has been shown to benefit from increased disturbance in the environment showing an increase in abundance and area of coverage in more disturbed conditions. The abnormality of O. dichotoma to proliferate under circumstances where similar competitors struggle is an adaptation that, for some unknown reason, occurred and made O. dichotoma unique.

Ok, I havent messed with this stuff for quite a while. I am rooted froyo. I have the updater frozen in titanium. I am soon to be done with this phone and I am just going to return it to stock for now. If I defrost the updater, will that just update to Gingerbead and I will be good, or do I have to SBF? Im not at all worried about losing root.
doubt I will sell it.
Ah. Well then, unless you've done something that would block the update (like deleting bloat or installing bootstrap) it should update just fine on its own.
If you want to update, you'll have to. You will also have to remove all traces of it I believe.
I have no idea how to SBF. Is there a step by step?
ok. Wish me luck. How do do get into bootloader?
