The world's fisheries are incredibly intertwined, thanks to baby fish
Marine fisheries are typically managed by individual nations. But the fish in those stocks often originate elsewhere, according to a computer simulation of how eggs and larvae from hundreds of fish species ride ocean currents around the world.

Primal Instinct: Meet Detroit's Nose to Tail Butchers
Seven chefs behind some of the Motor City's meatiest dishes
by Dorothy Hernandez Jan 13, 2017, 2:07pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Primal Instinct: Meet Detroit's Nose to Tail Butchers
With the Motor City being (mostly) a town that loves its meat and potatoes, it's no surprise that many local chefs go whole hog. "I think the interest in butchery [and] charcuterie will continue to grow because it is the soul of cooking. Great food begins with this particular subject," says chef Brian Polcyn, a longtime culinary advocate for seasonal foods and local farming.
Butchery and charcuterie will continue to grow because they're the soul of cooking
As local and seasonal vegetables and herbs have a standard among Detroit restaurants, chefs have also begun to tap into the region's local meat supply — often sold in the form of a whole animal.
Chef Matt Romine is the owner of Farm Field Table, a full-service butcher shop in Ferndale that caters to restaurants that want to provide the whole animal experience but either don't have the space or the skill set for butchering. "We choose to promote the whole animal because that is best for the farmer, for the respect of the product, for eating new dishes," he says, "and [because it] preserves skills such as whole animal butchery that could easily disappear in the next few generations due to modern industrial processing."
Whether they've been doing butchery since they were a kid or still honing their craft, meet some of Detroit's chefs who embrace nose to tail cooking and whole animal butchery.

Joe Giacomino and John Vermiglio, Chefs at Grey Ghost
Culinary chops: Joe Giacomino attended culinary school at the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, then worked in various Chicago area restaurants, including Table Fifty-Two, Quince, and A10 Hyde Park. John Vermiglio graduated from Johnson & Wales University, in Providence, R.I., with a B.S. in culinary arts. He's also worked at several Chicago hot spots, including Charlie Trotters to Go, Table Fifty-Two, Graham Elliot Bistro, and Folkart Restaurant Management, where he was culinary director.
Giacomino got his first state of butchery as a boy breaking down deer into steaks and roasts. Since then he has sought to be the butcher wherever he went because "that was always a coveted position reserved for the most trusted members of the team," he says.
On inspiration: The former butcher shop that Grey Ghost now calls home "inspired us to create the concept and carry on the tradition of the space," Vermiglio says. "Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe had an untimely demise, so it's a privilege to continue their mission, and pay homage to the craft of butchery with our menu creations."
Favorite cuts of meat/signature dish: Giacomino's favorite cut at the moment is the 60-day New York Strip on Grey Ghost's menu. Vermiglio is a fan of organ meats as well as cheeks, tails, flat iron steaks, and ribs. The fried housemade bologna has become one of the Ghost's most popular dishes. "We were just having some fun after an inspiring eating session, and heated debate, over the best filling for jalapeño poppers."
Larissa Popa, The Meatstress
Culinary chops: Popa initially went to school to be a pharmacist, but switched gears and went to Schoolcraft College to study culinary arts. Later, Popa traveled to the south of France to learn about butchery and charcuterie. When she's not working as sous chef at Schoolcraft College, Popa teaches classes about butchery and charcuterie and hosts pop-ups.
On inspiration: "Traditions from my homeland, well-raised food, keeping family farms in business, and me aspiring to be a voice for farmers, animals and past traditions."
Favorite cuts of meat/signature dish: Popa loves the "coppa" or neck muscle from a pork shoulder. "I simply cure my coppa with salt, rub it with crushed black pepper, and hang it," she explains.
Brian Polcyn, Chef and Author
Courtesy of Brian Polcyn
Culinary chops: Polcyn's resume includes some of Detroit's most legendary restaurants, such as the Golden Mushroom and Forest Grill. With food journalist Michael Ruhlman, he co-wrote Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking and Curing, which was nominated for a James Beard Foundation Book Award in 2006, the same year he was nominated for James Beard Foundation's Best Chef in the Midwest. While he doesn't work in restaurant kitchens any more, he's still heavily involved in the food world, teaching and writing books. Polcyn is a full time instructor at Schoolcraft College. He's currently working on another book with Ruhlman called Pate, Terrines and Rillettes, which is slated to drop this fall.
On inspiration: "Inspiration comes from within," Polcyn says. "People call chefs artists; I disagree. Nature is the true artist. Nature inspires me."
Favorite cuts/signature dish: It's hard for him to pick just one, "but if backed into a corner I would say the coppa or neck muscle is my favorite," Polcyn says. "It's the best muscle on the pig, and not only is it great for dry curing but also [for] roasting and schnitzel."
Matt Romine, Owner of Farm Field Table
Courtesy of Matt Romine
Culinary chops: In the Romine household, during the fall and late winter, rabbit and deer hunting were weekly occurrences for Matt Romine growing up. He didn't go to culinary school and instead learned everything through "thousands of hours of reading, many failed experiments, working with classically trained chefs, and caring deeply about what I'm doing." He staged, with his twin, Mike, at the famed Restaurant Noma in Copenhagen. The pair opened The Mulefoot Gastropub in their hometown of Imlay City, and Matt Romine recently opened Farm Field Table in Ferndale. While he doesn't physically cook at The Mulefoot much these days, he's still involved with the quality of the products. He also aims to offer unique proteins at Farm Field Table that you may not find at most places. Think interesting proteins such as squab, goat, and yak.
On inspiration: "I'm inspired to 'hack the system' and find a better way of bringing local products to the table. Currently the system is piss poor. I have to drive some of my products 100-plus miles to serve it in our restaurant that is 10 miles from the farm. More so, the legalities of slaughter put unnecessary costs and hurdles in the way."
Favorite cuts of meat/signature dishes: Romine finds "the tough cuts that require long slow cooking I find most satisfying: short ribs, tongue, brisket, shank, head, cheek, tail etc." As for signature dishes, recently "I'm all about the rabbit marsala. It's a simple braise with really hard roasted mushrooms, rosemary, and marsala added only in the final minutes of cooking. Finished with good butter of course."
Courtesy of Sarah Welch
Sarah Welch, Chef at Republic and Parks & Rec
Culinary chops: After earning a degree from MSU in restaurant management, 2015 Detroit Chef of the Year Sarah Welch attended the French Culinary Institute in New York. She began learning about butchery when she went to work for Brian Polcyn and David Gilbert at Forest Grill. Now, executive chef at Republic Tavern and Parks & Rec. She's also involved with Pigstock in Traverse City where she leads volunteers who help teach butchery. Welch says she would "would not consider myself a 'butcher' but I am comfortable butchering almost everything I've come across (our staff has even butchered an alpaca in-house).
"... To master [butchery] requires serious time apprenticing with professionals, something I have yet to have the time to do. I think I have a long way to go in order to become what you'd call a 'butcher.'"
On inspiration: "I work with food that is in season so, regardless of my want to be creative — seasonality and availability demand it. Everyday I come in to find out that something we expected to come through our door, did not — be that due to season, or other outstanding reasons (like that one time all the fish at the aquaponics farm died). In these moments I am inspired and, more so, I am forced to find inspiration in what we do have."
Favorite cuts of meat/signature dish: "Right now my favorite meat dish on the menu is our 'pork steak,'" she says. "We take a whole cut of shoulder and debone it. Then we rub that, sous vide it 24 hours, and cut it into steaks that are buttery soft. Those steaks get seared and they are phenomenal. That dish changes the way people see pork shoulder — it's not just a stew or sausage cut. Its potential is limitless."
Kate Williams, Chef at Lady of the House
Culinary chops: Kate Williams went to Michigan State for food science before taking off for New York to study at the French Culinary Institute. She worked at restaurants around the Big Apple for a while, then moved to Chicago before coming back home to Michigan. For her, nose to tail cooking and whole animal preservation and utilization is important as a chef because it honors the animal. "The animal didn't give its life for us to just eat prime rib," she says. "It demands creativity to serve the unfamiliar."
Williams was executive chef at Republic and Rodin. Her newest restaurant, Lady of the House, will open in the former St. Cece's space this year.
On inspiration: "Care taken every step of way. Whether that be farmers or cooks or artists. Telling the stories of people through food or your craft."
Favorite cuts of meat/signature dish: "I think I'm too restless to have just one signature dish," Williams says. "...The first thought that came to mind though was this lamb neck steak with sun chokes and mint dish." Also at Lady of the House, is planning a pork fat candle dish.

Voters approve $54 million South Portland school budget
The vote precedes the final municipal budget workshop this week by the City Council.
By Sean MurphyThe Forecaster
It was a quiet voting day Tuesday at the South Portland Community Center, as voters decided to approve the school department's $54 million proposed 2021-2022 budget. City Clerk Emily Scully, seated at right, estimated a turnout of just 2.1% Sean Murphy / The Forecaster
South Portland voters approved the school department's $54 million proposed budget for the 2021-2022 school year Tuesday as the city council held its final budget workshop to determine the size of the proposed municipal budget.
According to Town Clerk Emily Scully, 351 voters approved the, while 105 said no. The budget is up 1.34% over this year's budget, adding 18 cents to the property tax rate, according to Superintendent Ken Kunin. For the owner of a $200,000 home, he said, the budget, if approved, would lead to a $36 increase to the tax bill.
Most of the budget increases this year are personnel-related and would have been less noticeable had the city not lost state educational funding. For the 2020-2021 year, Kunin said, the district received $6.7 million in funding, but the projected subsidy for the 2021-2022 year is $6.3 million, a total loss of $490,000.
At the polls Tuesday afternoon, Scully said it had been a quiet day.
"We really haven't had anything of a line at all," she said.
After voting had closed, Scully estimated the 456 residents who cast ballots represented 2.1% of the city's nearly 22,000 registered voters. According to documents from the town, turnout for the referendum has been less than 10% for seven of the previous 10 years. Turnout was nearly 20% in 2011, coinciding with the special election for a seat in Maine Senate District 7, 25% in 2018, coinciding with the gubernatorial primary, and 33% in 2020, coinciding with the state primaries.
The final impact of the combined municipal/school budgets on the tax rate remains to be seen. The council is expected to hold its final workshop on the municipal budget on Thursday night at 6:30 p.m., after The Forecaster's deadline. According to Town Manager Scott Morelli's memo to the council, the goal is, via cuts to the budget and possibly through additional funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, to end up reducing the tax rate, rather than resulting in an increase.
The move is driven in part by the results, expected later this month, of a revaluation that is expected to drive up residential property values citywide.

Local Industrial Strategy Inquiry - Call for Evidence
DEADLINE: Monday 30th September
The Local Industrial Strategies (LIS) aim to address the Places element of the five foundations of productivity set out in the Industrial Strategy (Ideas, People, Infrastructure, Business Environment and Places).[1]
The Strategies are led by Mayoral Combined Authorities (CAs) or Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) with the objective of coordinating local economic policy and national funding streams and establishing new ways of working between national and local government, the public and private sectors.
Manufacturing accounts for 23% of the UK economy (including induced spending)[2] and remains a major component of the economy beyond the core cities of the UK.[3] It therefore must play a central role in any place-based industrial policy aimed at addressing the productivity challenge which led to the creation of the Industrial Strategy.
The Industrial Strategy was initiated by the Building our Industrial Strategy green paper[4] and launched in the Building a Britain Fit For The Future white paper.[5] In parallel, the Government released the Strengthened Local Enterprise Partnerships report which set a new goal for Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) of '…a single mission: to promote productivity by delivering Local Industrial Strategies'. [6] This report was followed by the Local Industrial Strategies Policy Prospectus which called for Local Industrial Strategies to be 'long term, based on clear evidence and aligned to the national industrial strategy'. [7]
The Local Industrial Strategy has the potential to play a significant role in delivering on national economic priorities, such as those highlighted in the 'Grand Challenges', whilst also addressing major local issues such as:
Availability of skills
Maximising diverse local economic strengths
Connecting different sectors across the country
Increasing local connectivity
Improving regional and local infrastructure
'Creating a country that works for everyone': responding to social and regional inequalities
Responding to the Fourth Industrial Revolution: the challenges of automation and digitisation
Adapting to demographic changes and the ageing workforce
Effective and resilient Local Industrial Strategies will be crucial to responding to these challenges. All strategies will need to engage and support employers, work for local economies and adapt to a changing society.
Aim of the Inquiry
This inquiry will explore how LEPs and CAs can create Local Industrial Strategies that support manufacturing and respond to local needs whilst addressing national economic priorities. It will resist the compartmentalising of policies and investigate how to build successful and resilient Local Industrial Strategies that connect the local level to the national, reflect the challenges highlighted by the Industrial Strategy and draw out issues for action.
Instructions for Submission of Evidence
Please use the questions on the attached document (to the right of the screen) to frame your response to the call for evidence but do not feel restricted by them or compelled to answer every question. The Commission welcomes all types of evidence, from data, including analysis or internal studies your organisation has carried out, to personal or organisational views on these issues. Submissions of evidence will not be published or shared with third parties. All submissions will remain anonymous unless you give the commission the right to publish your name or organisation in the report. Please provide express permission in your evidence submission by completing the permission section. All copies of the submitted evidence and any contact details will be destroyed within a year of finishing the project.
The deadline for submission of evidence is Monday 30th September. Evidence can be submitted to ben.c.merritt@policyconnect.org.uk.

Does global warming theory contravene the laws of physics?
A lot of skeptics, including physicists, think it does. And in the header to this blog I very briefly mention one of the main arguments to that effect.
Oddly, though, any comprehensive defence from Warmists against that view is very hard to find. They seem very much afraid of opening that can of worms. So it is mainly a subgroup of the skeptical community who say that the physics is OK -- even if other things are not.
So it was Jo Nova -- normally a ferocious skeptic --who recently put up an article in defence of the physics of Greenhouse theory.
Joanne's interpretation is that GHGs inhibit radiational cooling. That's the blanket theory. In this view, the sun brings the surface to a certain temperature and GHGs act to sustain it, thus increasing the average temperature by limiting how fast the nighttime earth can cool.
The principal problem with this, of course, is that the earth is seen to emit all of the energy it gets from the sun, i.e., there's no sign of a blanketing effect.
This, of course, is profoundly embarrassing to greenhouse theorists — which is why the actual theory isn't what Joanne describes. Theorists will admit yes, the earth appears to be naked. But that's only an illusion, they'll argue. In fact, the GHG blanket does indeed block the exit of light, cloaking the earth and making it darker as seen from space.
But since this blanket gets warm, it emits infrared back to the earth, the result of which is to heat the planet so much that it radiates the SAME AMOUNT as it would without the blanket.
Ergo, the earth without a greenhouse effect emits about 239 W/m² to space. And the earth WITH a greenhouse effect emits about 239 W/m² to space.
Anyway, although greenhouse proponents often start with a blanket analogy, they're soon compelled make it an electric blanket, thereby contradicting their initial premise. Rather than inhibit cooling like passive insulators, their GHGs are active heat sources. These heat sources warm the earth below while simultaneously making it appear that the earth isn't being warmed at all.
Any introduction to greenhouse theory will prove this. Introductory models have 239 W/m² emitted upwards from the surface and 239 W/m² returning, thus bringing the total to 478, enough to bring the surface temperature to 303 Kelvin. Once this impossible point is conceded, determining the "correct" temperature from back-radiation is only a minor detail. Lindzen, for instance, estimates the average surface temperature from this extra radiation as a blistering 350 K.
But the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere is far lower than the surface, and it remains that a cooler body cannot heat a warmer body. Greenhouse theory does violate the 2nd Law. It's not a matter of semantics.
Hammer's post is a sad indication that after everybody else has finally abandoned the self-contradictory intricacies of Greenhouse Theory, AGW skeptics will be standing among its last defenders.
Public misconceptions of climate change have thwarted urgently needed U.S. efforts to reduce emissions blamed for global warming, according to a report from the National Research Council of the National Academies.
The media sometimes present aspects of climate change that are well-established as if they were "matters of serious debate," according to the report released today in Washington. Groups opposed to policies limiting carbon-dioxide emissions are influencing some reporting, according to the study, which was requested by Congress in 2008 when Democrats were in the majority. It was prepared by a committee of scientists, engineers and economists.
Climate change is happening and is "very likely'' caused by the burning of fossil fuels, said committee chairman Albert Carnesale, chancellor emeritus and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. The U.S. should respond with "aggressive emissions reductions" of greenhouse gases from power plants, factories and transportation, and plan for adapting to effects of global warming, such as rising seas, with a national strategy, the council said.
"We're talking about a challenge that is a matter of decades and indeed where some of the consequences are quiet, delayed, and so public understanding and support is essential," Carnesale said in an interview.
The National Research Council, based in Washington, provides information for government decision-makers under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine.
The Earth's average surface temperature has increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the past 100 years, with about one degree occurring over the past three decades, according to the report. A "preponderance" of scientific evidence shows that the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases is the "most likely" cause of most warming during the past 50 years, the report found.
Melting ice, rising average sea levels and reduced snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere can be linked in part to warming, the report said. In the U.S., temperatures have increased by more than two degrees during the past 50 years. Extreme weather, such as drought and heavy downpours, is more frequent and intense.
For those few and uninformed skeptics, the NYT assures us that "Not only is the science behind the climate-change forecast solid, but the risks to future generations from further inaction are profound." Already, "the sea level is rising in many American towns" and the average United States air temperature has increased by two degrees in the last 50 years.
The only skeptic cited is Texas Representative Joe Barton, who "swiftly dismissed the council's findings." But pay no attention to Barton. We are informed he is "leading the charge against further regulating carbon emissions," presumably a stooge for Texas's "Big Oil." (A photo of a scowling Barton is attached to the article).
According to the NYT, the committee itself "is an unusual combination of climate scientists, businessmen and politicians," and even includes "non scientist, Jim Geringer, a conservative Republican." Such a committee would clearly bend over backwards to be fair.
The report ends on an unsurprising note. America's greatest scientists recommend that the federal government spend a gazillion dollars on scientific and engineering research before it is too late.
Of the first eight names, only one appears to be a climate scientist. The others are engineers, lawyers, and public policy types. There are other names, but I did not want to waste my time. I presume the pattern holds. No top climate change skeptic, like MIT's Richard Lindzen, is included. This report was not written by climate scientists but by public policy wonks.
The report tells us, contrary to the NYT account, that the science is far from certain. I quote: "How will the climate system respond to increased greenhouse gases? The exact value of 'climate sensitivity'—that is, how much temperature rise will occur for a given increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration—is uncertain due to incomplete understanding of some elements of the earth's climate system." Note the wobbly use of language, such as "exact" or "some elements," to signal that the science is "almost certain." I can imagine the illustrious committee members searching for appropriate qualifiers that would not let the cat out of the bag.
3) If the science is uncertain, why act now?
The report, which is not a study of climate science but of risk management, argues that the potential environmental damage from temperature increases (which the committee admits we really do not understand) is so large that we cannot afford to wait until we understand the science. (With this argument, we should wipe North Korean and Iran off the map now because of the future risk of their future nuclear weapons).
Not surprisingly, I could not find this is in the report (perhaps it is hidden somewhere). There is only a general reference to risks to coastal areas from future rises in sea levels. The NYT's claim is puzzling. How can sea levels be higher in one coastal town and lower in another nearby town? I'd like the NYT writer (Leslie Kaufman) to explain that one. (I do recall an earlier NYT report with "Rising Sea Levels and Global Warming" in the headline, but it turned out to be subsidence. The earth was inconveniently dropping not the sea level rising).
The NYT is again trying to tell us that the science is certain and that anyone who disagrees is a stooge or an idiot. If global warming alarmism is so scientifically proven, why is it that respected top scientists at institutions such as M.I.T., Princeton, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin say there is no scientific evidence to support it? Has the Times ever tried to answer this question? Global warming alarmism should not be taken seriously until and unless the question is satisfactorily answered.
Why should a layman give global warming alarmism any credence if these scientists do not?
"A lie gets halfway around the world before truth has a chance to get is pants on". It seems Winston Churchill's dictum could be applied to some "comprehensive" studies into the global shale gas phenomenon too.
Since April, the findings of a shale gas study by Robert Howarth's team at Cornell University, widely debunked for its "assumptions and inaccuracies" and, even though its authors admit it is based on "lousy" data, have been covered by eagerly awaiting media. The BBC's "Shale gas 'worse than coal' for climate" is a classic example.
The same cannot be said for The Shale Gas Shock report written by Dr Matt Ridley on behalf of the London-based Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) which attracted a mere handful of journalists to its publication on May 4. While Howarth and co's scientific ineptitude, as we shall see, makes fear-mongering headlines, the GWPF finding – at the opposite pole – finds shale gas to be "ubiquitous, cheap and environmentally benign".
For Ridley's GWPF study, shale gas is not only proving to be "a revolution in the world energy industry", but it promises to transform "world trade, geopolitics and climate policy". Setting out an erudite history of shale gas and how it offers the world several more centuries of natural gas, point 22 of the report gets to the crux of the matter. "The key question about shale gas is not therefore whether it exists in huge quantities" (it demonstrably does), it is "whether it can be exploited on a large scale at a reasonable price".
Ridley continues by scotching Berman's opinion that only around 10 percent of each shale gas field will prove recoverable, and that the current excitement merely amounts to another "speculative bubble". Berman concludes that US shale gas, for instance, may thus only last for seven years and not the 100 years+ widely projected. Ridley points out that Berman's audience "is investors, not consumers" and while he concedes Berman may have a point that some investors in shale gas firms may get their fingers burnt, this will largely be because "their very success drives gas prices down" and/or because "volumes of gas are high". In other words, the highs and lows of shale gas production would mirror that of any other extraction industry.
While we can expect "a shale gas boom in China", with Russia being an "impediment" to development and not welcoming competition from shale gas, Ridley identifies Europe as particularly susceptible to exploitation opposition from "entrenched and powerful interests in the environmental pressure groups". In the end however, "it will be a matter of whether over-borrowed European governments, businesses and people will be able to resist such a hefty source of new revenue and a clean energy source requiring no subsidy".
Ridley deals well with the issues of "environmental impacts" as industry becomes "more transparent" about the chemicals in its fracking fluid thus allaying public suspicion; not least as the public is made aware that most are common to domestic usage. He further observes how it is "not in the company's interest to allow" leakage of either gas or hydraulic fracking fluids. The study deals too with the "flaming faucets" image peddled by the anti-shale gas flick Gasland and used widely to induce public fear.
Ridley points out that "natural gas in well water is a phenomenon known for many decades before shale gas drilling began" with scientists elsewhere exposing the phenomenon by "igniting methane that escapes through holes made in the ice on Arctic lakes". Ridley makes the case too that treatment of waste water in the shale gas process is "no different from the treatment of waste water in any other industrial process".
Concerns over the environmental impact and footprint of shale extraction sites are also greatly exaggerated according to The Shale Gas Shock. Ridley even visited and includes a photograph of a site in the Marcellus Shale region of Western Pennsylvania where a New York Times report had claimed exploitation had had a "major impact" on the landscape and habitat. The GWPF report however found that shale gas extraction had "far more limited impact than other forms of energy".
The 60 percent heat-to-electricity conversion ratio – which through thermal efficiency capture (co-generation) can rise to 80 percent – literally blows away competing alternatives, especially renewables. Against wind as a generation source, Ridley maintains "gas from up to 12 wells" (the output from a single shale gas drilling derrick with a footprint of 6 acres) equals "the output of about 47 giant 2.5MW wind turbines" (each having a total "footprint of 4 acres"). More than that, while gas output can be achieved within just 30 days, Ridley claims, it would take the turbines 25 years to match it.
Reading these two studies side-by-side, it is only too clear in which articulate, fact-based, good derivative reason resides. Above all, Matt Ridley's GWPF study suggests the shale gas phenomenon as the paradigm-shifting positive energy story of the century so far. Not that we should expect an MSM with a preference for fact-bereft sensationalism a la the Cornell Study to run with it.
What mechanism prompted mankind to instigate this genocide of the world's poor? The Kyoto Protocol. International governments signed up to the idea that biofuels were going to be the better, cleaner, greener source for mankind's energy needs in a new utopia predicted for us by 'expert's inside the United Nations.
Canadian Geophysicist Norm Kalmanovitch is as concerned as many independent scientists at the alarming rate at which this international food crisis is now escalating.
Kalmanovitch is semi-retired now and not in fear of having his scientific career tarnished by blowback from speaking out. He argues that the facts easily demonstrate that the Kyoto Protocol is based entirely on fraudulent science.
Honest scientific inquiry serves the single purpose of advancing human knowledge and understanding free of any bias or ulterior motivation and it is clear that promoting "human caused global warming" a full nine years after the world had already started cooling serves no such lofty purpose.
Kalmanovitch accuses a small clique of self-serving climate researchers for violating the fundamental ethics of science protocol and propagating the false science that made the Kyoto Accord the international vehicle for crimes against humanity. Listening to his arguments you cannot help but see he has a point.
So what was the root catalyst for this cataclysm? Astonishingly, you can pin a lot of it on one well-intentioned but misguided do-gooder. His name: Professor James Hansen. Hansen was NASA's bright-eyed scientist back in 1988. The eager climate modeler appeared before a Congressional Committee and prophesized that mankind would kill the planet if it continued to burn coal and gasoline at modern industrial rates.
Hansen made unfounded and highly alarmist claims based on his computer forecasts. He predicted doomsday scenarios that panicked Congress and that wave of fear stampeded the world into believing in a non-existent crisis. Global temperatures have never rocketed as Hansen forecast. In fact all five global temperature datasets show zero net global warming over the past decade in spite of record increases in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels (climate scientists have now grudgingly conceded no statistically significant rise in temperatures has occurred since 1998 from their doomsaying). But once the stampede was launched it caused a rush to biofuels that stripped millions of crop acreage from the world's food basket.
But more sickening is that many have made sizeable fortunes from trumpeting a short period of warming that lasted from (1975-1998); a vast international array of speculators in wind, solar, wave and biofuels alternatives are onboard the great global warming gravy train.
Hansen's friends in the infant science of climatology have also fed well off government grants where the 'climate change' industry generates tens of billions annually in this self-perpetuating Ponzi scheme that symbiotically melded the interests of speculators with climate researchers.
In effect, those great riches and shining scientific careers were together built upon exploiting a 0.6 C rise in temperatures that all but vanished in the first decade of the 21st Century.
In a landmark court ruling in New Zealand that will send tremors around the world, the once respected Greenpeace is stripped of its charity status.
High Court Judge, Justice Paul Heath made the groundbreaking decision today after overwhelming evidence was presented that proved that the organization's illegal activities were motivated by zealous political advocacy and crossed the line of what charities are permitted to do.
In the U.S and Britain environmentalist activists have for decades sought to influence policymakers by a swath of unlawful protests often involving criminal damage and trespass. Several prominent UN climatologists have long aligned themselves with and been apologists for the radical and unlawful acts of these environmentalists.
As a consequence of the shock New Zealand ruling Greenpeace's political activities mean it will be de-registered as a charity and thus lose the prestige and tax advantages associated with that status.
Justice Paul Heath's decision was as the result of an appeal launched by Greenpeace after a 2010 ruling by the Charities Commission which found its promotion of "disarmament and peace" was political rather than educational. Greenpeace members were ruled to have acted illegally.
"Non-violent, but potentially illegal activities (such as trespass), designed to put (in the eyes of Greenpeace) objectionable activities into the public spotlight were an independent object disqualifying it from registration as a charitable entity."


Incase you too are going pumpkin mad and looking for endless #inspo, I thought I'd share the three ways I decided to decorate mine this year. There is a more detailed tutorial for the white painted pumpkin here, but I'll quickly run through what's needed for the other two styles now.
The three little ones (below) are probably the easiest to execute – you just need a bottle of white spray paint. I cut out pieces of paper for eyes and mouths and (really technical stuff now guys) stuck them on with the double-sided tape trick. Then just sprayed (pretty badly) over the top! One of these little guys lost part of his smile in the painting process, but I'm just telling people he had a gory accident like the terrifying mouth-less clown from American Horror Story.
The floral swirl pumpkin took a little more research, but it is still pretty simple.
Step 1: Hollow out your pumpkin and discard the flesh, but keep the lid.
Step 2: Soak your oasis in a sink full of water. Let it sink naturally, don't push it down.
Step 3: Pack the inside of the pumpkin with oasis.
Step 4: Using a drill or a skewer, poke holes through the pumpkin where you'd like to see the flowers.
Step 5: Fill holes with cut stems from your flowers.
Step 6: Put the lid of your pumpkin back on.
Tips: Make sure the inside of the pumpkin is totally try before adding the oasis. Cut stems short to avoid snapping too many of them. Don't over-water the oasis. Keep the design simple. Have fun!
Someone on Instagram told me that it looks as if my pumpkin found a snapchat filter (we all know which one!) and now I'm slightly concerned about my level on enthusiasm for Snapchat. Will you attempt a floral pumpkin this year or are you going for a spooky carving?


The INVERT function uses the Gaussian elimination method to compute the inverse of a square array. Errors from singular or near-singular arrays are accumulated in the optional Status argument.
Note: If you are working with complex inputs, use the LA_INVERT function instead.
The result is a single- or double-precision array of floating or complex values.
The array to be inverted. Array must have two dimensions of equal size (i.e., a square array) and can be of any type except string. Note that the resulting array will be composed of single- or double-precision floating-point or complex values, depending on whether the DOUBLE keyword is set.
1 = Singular array (which indicates that the inversion is invalid).
2 = Warning that a small pivot element was used and that significant accuracy was probably lost.


Are you – or do you know – a young person (school years 7 - 12, aged 12 - 17) who loves writing or wants to be a writer?
We're running our Spark Young Writers' Summer School again this July/August, especially for writers like you.
Come and join us on Monday 22nd - Friday 26th July for five days of writing, performing, playing with words, meeting other young (and not-so-young) writers and learn to be the writer you want to be. The Spark Summer School is run by poet Liz Berry and poet and writer Paul McDonald.
We'll dabble in lots of different types of writing, from poetry to radio plays to flash fiction to wordplay, and we'll finish the week with a special performance for your friends and family.
The Summer School is every day from 10.30am - 3.30pm at the University of Wolverhampton with the option of an hour of quiet writing from 9.30am. Please note lunch is not included.
A limited number of young writers taking part in the Summer School have the chance to complete a Bronze Arts Award, a nationally-recognised qualification that builds creative and leadership skills. Young writers will learn more about their craft through researching professional writers, going to arts events and sharing skills they learn across the week with others. More information about Bronze Arts Award can be found here http://bit.ly/1Vxgpu5.
Those taking this option will be asked to attend for an extra hour each day (from 9.30 - 10.30am); the additional charges are built into the ticket price which cover assessment costs and resources. There will also be some preparatory work needed in order to ensure the content is covered by the end of the course.
There are a very limited number of bursary places available. Please contact Emma Boniwell to find out more.
Liz Berry was born and brought up in the Black Country, and now lives in Birmingham. She received an Eric Gregory Award in 2009, and an Arvon-Jerwood mentorship in 2011, and in 2012 she won the Poetry London competition. Her debut pamphlet, The Patron Saint of School Girls, was published by tall-lighthouse in 2010. Black Country (Chatto & Windus, 2014) was a Poetry Book Society recommendation, and winner of the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. She is assistant poetry editor at Ambit magazine.
You can see Liz Berry reading one of her poems here.
Paul runs the Creative and Professional department at the University of Wolverhampton. He is a prize winning and published poet and novelist who lives in Walsall.
Please make the booking in your name, to match the person paying for the place. There is then a separate question asking for details of the child attending.
My child will be 18 before the course starts - why can't they come?
I have already completed my Bronze award - can I do my Silver Arts Award?
I'm afraid that there just isn't enough time to get the Silver award done within the week and not quite enough scope to fulfil all the criteria. Sorry.

GWCL spills excess water from Weija Dam
Date: Jun 08 , 2019 , 09:34
BY: Juliet Akyaa Safo
The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) on Friday started spilling excess water from the Weija Dam to maintain the integrity of the dam.
According to the Public Affairs Manager of the GWCL, Mr Stanley Martey, the spillage started around 10 a.m. when the water level reached 47.8 feet (ft), exceeding the safe operating level of the dam, which is 47ft.
He said two out of the five spillways were opened, but added that the opening would not have any immediate impact on the residents.
However, he cautioned residents and organisations close to the dam to evacuate the area as soon as possible because continued rainfall could occasion more spillage.
Communities likely to be affected include Tetegu, Oblogo, Pambros Salt, Lower McCarthy Hill, Lower Weija, Bojo Beach, Ada Kope, Tsokome and surrounding communities.
Mr Martey said the company had already started a house-to-house sensitisation programme to inform the public about the exercise.
"Opinion leaders, chiefs, assembly members, unit committee leaders and heads of schools have all been informed about the exercise," he said.
He gave an assurance that the management of GWCL was still on the ground to monitor the level of water to ensure that the dam did not overflow its banks.
Meanwhile, a visit to some communities around the dam showed that communities such as Oblogo and Weija, had not been affected except for the downpour last Thursday evening which had affected few homes.
Majority of the residents who spoke to the Daily Graphic said they were not aware of the possible spillage.
However, those who had information of the opening of the dam said they were not prepared to leave should all spillways be opened.
They explained that they could not relocate because they had lived there for years and would, therefore, manage with the situation should there be floods.
A resident, Ms Gifty Nartey, said she had lived in the community for many years and that the spillage was a normal experience.
Naa Ayele, another resident, also said they had no choice but to be there whenever the weirs (gated barricades to control the flow rates of water) were opened.
Last year, schoolchildren crossing over to their schools over the banks of the dam were faced with difficulties as they had to cross over in canoes of fishermen in precarious situations.
Depending on their numbers, a ride cost each pupil GH¢1 or 50Gp to cross over; those that could not afford it were left stranded.
The Methodist Church, Ghana has dissociated itself from a recent decision to introduce same sex marriage in the church.

On An Odyssey of Tides
The Farne Islands
To boldy go...
There is an old adage in seafaring circles that says the sea will always give the test before it thinks to give the lesson... and so it was on a recent trip to the Farne Islands. Sat just off the shore of the north east coast, these iconic islands have long been in the distant gaze. Impossibly close, yet impossibly far.
One of a thousand seals
At this time of year, they are the preserve of a million sea birds, nesting where there are no natural predators. It has to be said, this was a spring tide: the largest of the year, and few self-respecting kayakers of mediocre skill levels would venture to the Farnes knowing that the moon was in full swing. Here, the tides leap with some severity over the slabs of dolerite beneath the water to sudden waves, haystacked together. We should have known better, of course, but somehow, in the race to make the most of the good weather, the full moon slipped us by.
The racing tides around Megstone
With a Force 4 forecast we opted for a day of coastal pottering on the trip between Boulmer and Beadnell. The guide to kayaking off the coast here said there were no tides to speak of, so that was good. The faint waft of kippers rose on zephyrs of wind at the lunch stop of Craster and we resisted the urge to have an ice cream.
Sue approaching the Inner Farnes
Pressing on northwards, the wind picked up and something tide-like was running under the boats in the opposite direction to the wind. Wind against tide always creates a confused sea, but it was about to get worse. Much worse.
I was beginning to wish I'd had that ice cream.
On the horizon, there were hills of sea. Haystacks in the water. I casually asked Stu what he made of them, white heaps jumping erratically up into the froth. It conspired that the tide was racing onto a spur of dolerite extending from Dunstanburgh Castle out to sea. The haystacks were huge, and quite unpredictable. Before I could say 'I don't like the look of that', Stu had got sucked through it, fending off the white foam heaps the size of tractors with an alarming set of white water manoevres.
After a long afternoon involving a variety of transport methods, we were all back together, safe and capable of laughing about it.
The Farnes themselves presented us with some of the most unpredictable, beguiling seas imaginable. From the Kettle, flat, turquoise and bath-like amid the families of Arctic Terns, to the house-sized, crackling waves that leapt in a straight line from flat calm to immense in a single beat as we traversed the North Sea. A quixotic, alarming think-on-your-feet sort of place.
But this of course is only half the story. Having retrospectively learnt that lesson the sea threw casually sideways, there is one thing I know. I'll be back for another go. But next time, perhaps not on a spring tide...

Lismore by Kayak
A while back now, we spent a weekend with the Scottish Canoe Association circling the limestone isle of Lismore.
Nigel and his new boat
Sue on a graceful turn
The weekend was billed as a lazy trip around the isle, and with summer suddenly arriving all at once, it was hot, sultry and still.
Achanduin Castle
Lismore is tucked neatly at the mouth of Loch Linnhe where the back end of Mull starts to reverse into the mainland. For some on the trip, this was their back garden. And for us, it was another chance to experience the mingling of pasts with present, with landscape and forgetting that is to journey on the sea.
Camped near the southern tip of the island, the light was breathtaking
Gentle tidal smudging of the water at the southern tip of Lismore
Alison and the Kilcheran Isles
Shia, a ship's cat
Several of the people on the trip had moved from the city to live by these waters, to shape their lives around the daily tides. Undoubtedly, there are untold sacrifices in leaving behind the steady income of a city life, but it's a lesson to us all when people have the courage to follow their dreams. Mooring at one such home, one of the cats, Shia, joined us for the last leg of the journey. While we ferried boats from the water to the road, he checked the boats out, sniffed things and generally got to know everyone. I've undoubtedly spelt his name wrong, but roughly translated from the Gaelic, it means something like 'gentleman of the fairy grotto'.


Last time out I looked at the growing importance of content, social media and design – but these should only form part (albeit a big and important part) of your overall marketing strategy.
Equally important is innovation and giving your clients what they want. I read with interest a recent piece in Marketing Week, where Maltesers brand director Rebecca Shepheard-Walwyn said 'innovation for innovation's sake' and unnecessary product extensions should be avoided.
With a trusted brand – and as one of the world's most popular chocolate brands, I think Maltesers fits into that category – there is no point in messing too much with what has been loved for so long. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That said, to remain relevant and on-trend, innovation, tinkering and diversification are needed to ensure a brand doesn't become stale, complacent or left behind the times. But when you're innovating you need to bear in mind the latest market insights and trends to ensure you are meeting the demand for the right new products and services.
So, innovation is crucial, but it needs to be carefully thought out, reactive and providing solutions to issues rather than just being there for the sake of it.
This applies to well-established estate agents as much as it does global chocolate brands. You need to move with the times and evolve to remain the go-to authority in your area. You need to innovate and diversify to win over new customers. But at the same time you need to keep the core ethos of what made you an established brand in the first place.
Continuing the theme of innovation, Nathan Anderson-Dixon, managing director of Midlands-based estate agency Adobe, has been in touch to tell me how his firm is adapting and enhancing its model to meet with the changing marketplace.
He's run his traditional model estate agency for just over 15 years, with a small chain of showrooms in the Midlands. In recent years Adobe has begun centralising many of its processes, things like sales progression and admin to start with. Now it has many other sales-related touch points and processes being handled from one central office (although Nathan is reluctant to use the word 'hybrid').
I pity the fool who didn't make it to Leicester for the latest Mortgage Advice Bureau conference, I pity the fool. If you're wondering what the hell I'm banging on about (even more than usual!), the Mortgage Advice Bureau's annual conference took place in Leicester last week and included an '80s-themed do in the evening, where a Mr T lookalike was on hand to represent The A-Team. If you now have The A-Team theme tune playing on a loop in your head, I'm not sorry!
Below is a picture of me with the man himself, plus Josh Rayner and Mark Manning of Manning Stainton.
The conference itself was as well-organised and interesting as usual, focusing heavily on how the mortgage industry is reacting to digital transformation. We recently saw the first online mortgage deeds registered by the Land Registry, so how best to combine mortgages and innovation is an increasingly important topic.
Held at the state-of-the-art Curve Theatre, the day's agenda was a busy one, with a morning and evening session bookended by exhibitions. More than 50 exhibitors were at the conference, including Together, Paragon, Tesco Bank, Legal & General, NatWest, Post Office Money, Virgin Money and Scottish Widows.
The morning session included an audience with Peter Brodnicki, CEO of the MAB, a talk on the potential of data and a session entitled Trains, Planes...and Toilet Cleaners!
After lunch and a chance to wander around the various exhibitors, the afternoon session included a mini awards ceremony (The MABS) and talks called Digital Darwinism, The Real Good Life and Life is a Gamble so Let's Roll the Dice. All led throughout by host Jez Rose, a broadcaster, motivational speaker and award-winning author.
A lot of effort goes into making the MAB conference one of the standout events of the year, and they pulled it off yet again. From the speakers to the after-party, everything was spot on.
Unless you've been living in a cave or the middle of the Amazon rainforest recently, you won't have been able to escape the introduction of new data protection rules. GDPR (or the General Data Protection Regulation) finally came into being last Friday (May 25 2018), leading to a flurry of emails from all manner of firms detailing their new privacy and cookies policies and their data protection strategies.
As the bedding in period begins, GDPR Weekly will be on hand to answer any of those burning compliance issues, with our experts able to keep you up to date with the latest GDPR news.
While you might have received a million and one emails about GDPR and be a bit fed up of hearing about it, complying with the new rules is vitally important and an ongoing consideration that must be treated with the utmost gravity. For agents and property people – more likely than most to be dealing with large volumes of personal data – it is, whether we like it or not, something that we all need to get to grips with.
This witty tweet may also make you laugh, looking at how the big jolly man in the red suit may be in contravention of GDPR.
Following on from my piece about agents bucking the high street downturn, the woes of major retailers continue apace, with M&S announcing the closure of more than 100 stores while Carphone Warehouse is set to close 92 of its stores this year. New Look, Mothercare, Carpetright and burger chain Byron have also announced further store closures as consumer confidence in the high street dwindles.
Promisingly, though, agency continues to buck this overall trend, with high-profile acquisitions taking place (luxury holiday firm Natural Retreats taking over well-established Humberts, for example, Zoopla's huge sale to Silver Lake expected to complete in the third quarter of this year, Hunters expanding into Wales and innovative PropTech startups raising large sums to launch or grow their initial offerings).

iC partners with Mwest to acquire a significant historic real estate asset on Hollywood Blvd.
by InnHouse | Feb 19, 2013 | InnHouse News
The Property consists of a seven-story, mixed-use building located at 5217 Hollywood Boulevard and a two-story, type III masonry mixed-use building located at 5299-5233 Hollywood Boulevard.The seven-story building, also known as "Guardian Arms", was originally built as a hotel in 1928. It soon became the destination for many of Hollywood's biggest film stars because of its prestigious Hollywood Boulevard address and spectacular views. In 1941, the hotel was converted into apartments and was modestly renovated in 2008 by the current owners.

His dedication as a fan is apparent with his Jersey proudly worn to the office during playoff season this year.

As the team leader and the youngest of three principals that make up The InnHouse Group of Companies team, his recent nomination for Entrepreneur of the Year in the category of Retail through Ethno BC, comes as no surprise.

Thanks for the excellent support last night for getting my site transferred over to Falcoda Internet with least disruption. All working fine this morning and back to normal, great stuff!


Has anyone had any experiences regarding Alaskan Blackfish, captive or otherwise that they would like to share? I think It would be intresting to know more about the Mud Minnows bigger cousin.
I wish. Really neat looking fish and mudminnows are great.
I heard or read somewhere years ago that they don't take warm water well. If you can keep trout alive well, then it might work.
The problem is, where to get Alaska Blackfish? If you find out, let me know, I want some too!
That is just it, I don't think it is possible to get them. Not sure about Alaska law on catching them etc. but I think there are issues with transporting them to the lower 48. I have heard that atleast.
Would seem like it should not be a problem, this fish is very common and uses as a trash fish there. But who knows for sure?
I always wonder, since I would guess they can handle warmer water than reported. Just like Umbra are said to be cool water fish, probably judging on their range stopping just under the fall line ( centrals that is, U. limi) but they handle high heat just fine. Probably not 90 degree water for long periods of time, but bath warm water for days in drying puddles. The thing that does them is baking dry in the sun, or predators picking them up out of the drying mud.

Hillary Clinton's Mounting Criminal Allegations Could Give Bernie Sanders The Presidency
This article is part of a series:
5 Tricks Bernie Sanders Could Have Up His Sleeve For July And Beyond
5. Unforeseen Events Surrounding Hillary Clinton Criminal Allegations
Given the fact that nobody really knows what's in Julian Assange's upcoming Wikileak release of Hillary Clinton's email server, the fact that the FBI still has not indicted Clinton on espionage charges, and the fact that there's multiple lawsuits targeting Clinton in the works regarding her role in voter suppression throughout the Democratic primary, there really isn't any reason to believe that nothing will happen and Hillary will simply continue on as the nominee after July 25th.
That being said, the system *IS* rigged in Hillary's favor to be the presidential nominee in the Democratic party. She had over 400 superdelegates on her side over a year ago before the primary even started, has every mainstream media outlet and Wall St. on her side, and she's been brushing off allegations against her as "conspiracy theories" for decades already. There's no reason to believe that she can't come out on top, at least as the Democratic nominee, which leaves Bernie Sanders with only about two feasible options left: Run as an Independent or on the Green party ticket with Jill Stein.

What Is Wheat Protein Isolate?
By Brian Willett
Brian Willett began writing in 2005. He has been published in the "Buffalo News," the "Daytona Times" and "Natural Muscle Magazine." Willett also writes for Bloginity.com and Bodybuilding.com. He is an American Council on Exercise-certified personal trainer and earned a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from the University of North Carolina.
Wheat protein isolate is a dietary supplement that is rich in protein and low in carbohydrates and fat. Wheat protein isolate is a popular sports nutrition supplement, particularly among bodybuilders and strength-training athletes, because the high protein content may be helpful in producing muscle growth. Despite the potential benefits of wheat protein isolate, consult your doctor before using it or other supplements.
Why Wheat?
Wheat protein isolate can be a suitable alternative to another popular protein supplement, whey, because unlike whey, wheat protein isolate is not made from dairy products. Thus, wheat protein isolate does not contain lactose, a dairy sugar. If you're lactose intolerant, consuming lactose can result in bloating, cramps, nausea and diarrhea, so you may wish to avoid whey and other dairy proteins, such as casein powder. In this case, wheat protein isolate would be a beneficial alternative.
Wheat protein isolate can be a beneficial supplement for dieting, because it is low in calories. Each serving of wheat protein isolate contains just 100 calories. Because of the low calorie content, making a wheat protein isolate shake to replace a meal can aid in weight loss. For example, if you drank a wheat protein isolate shake instead of eating a 6-inch turkey sub each day, you'd consume 1,260 fewer calories in one week. That amount is enough to lose more than 1/3 lb.
Protein Content
Wheat protein isolate is rich in protein -- each serving contains 20 g. This makes wheat protein isolate suitable for post-workout recovery. Research published in the December 2010 edition of "International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism" found that consuming 20 g of protein after workouts stimulated an optimal rate of muscle protein synthesis, a process that drives muscle repair and growth.
Carbohydrate Content
Unlike wheat products such as pasta and bread, wheat protein isolate is low in carbohydrates. Each serving of wheat protein isolate contains just 3 g of carbohydrates, with 1 g of sugar and no dietary fiber.
Wheat protein isolate is low in fat, with just 1 g of fat per serving. This can make wheat protein isolate suitable for low-fat diets.
Because wheat protein isolate is a wheat product, it may contain gluten, a type of protein found in grains. Although many people can digest gluten without a problem, those with celiac disease experience nausea, diarrhea, bloating, indigestion and intestinal damage when consuming gluten. Gluten content varies between products, so check labels and consult a doctor before use.

Small Used Cars Sell Like Hotcakes in Mandalay
January 31, 2018 by thiha
Small used cars with 1.3cc engines and priced at K20 million (US$14,970) are bestsellers in the Mandalay car market amid new government regulations that only brand new left-hand-drive vehicles will be allowed to be imported into the country starting in 2018.
Car dealers in Mandalay said that when the new government vehicle import regulations were released in October last year, prices of used Japanese-made right-hand-drive cars rose 20 percent.
But the car dealers said prices for small cars with 1.3cc engines have stabilised between K15 million and K20 million.
"It is hard to find buyers if the prices are higher than that," said U Win Myint, secretary of Mandalay Pyi Gyi Myat Shin car trade camp.
"It is hard to consider the market situation for the whole of this year. However, Japanese used cars will continue to lead the market," he added. "The users' choice from right-hand-drive to left-hand-drive could change step-by-step and will take time."
U Win Myint said the prices of left-hand-drive cars are still very high and could only be affordable to rich people.
He said used Japanese right-hand-drive cars still get a big market share as they are affordable to the growing middle class and high quality spare parts are available.
U Thein Swe, a car dealer in Mandalay, said vehicles with average prices of between K15 million and K20 million dominate the current market.
He added that for cars with bigger engines, buyers are only interested if the prices are between K25 million and K30 million.
"If the prices are higher than that, buyers are rare," he said. "Besides car dealers don't dare to sell lower than these prices. It is sure that car prices will remain high." U Thein Swe said.
According to 2018 car import regulations, car dealers can only import left-hand-drive cars that are 2014 models or later, while individuals can only import left-hand-drive cars that are 2016 models or later.
