@maporsche,
Yeah, everything I'm reading about this study suggests that it's statistically flawed and does not hold up to scientific scrutiny.
I just posted responses to the criticisms. If you have a problem with those responses, let me know which ones, and we can look into them and find out what the research will bear.
You say that the study in question is statistically flawed. What led you to that conclusion? I've posted an interview with a statistician who was currently the only member of the French Academy of Sciences who is 100% specialised in statistics.
Remember this:
Paul Deheuvels is an eminent statistician and a member of the French Academy of Sciences. Yet he was not consulted when the Academy released a statement discrediting the results of the study on GMOs, led by Gilles-Eric Séralini. Revolted by these methods, Paul Deheuvels goes back over this matter where pressures and conflicts of interest got the upper hand. Here is the beginning of an interview with him:
[Rebelle-Sante:] How did you find out about the French Academy of Sciences' position on this matter?
[Deheuvels:] In November 2011, during an award ceremony at the Academy, I exchanged a few words with one of my colleagues at the Institute, Professor Alain-Jacques Valleron, a biostatistician, for whom I have huge respect.
He made me aware that the Academy was preparing a statement on Gilles-Eric Séralini's article. As I am currently the only member of the French Academy of Sciences 100% specialised in statistics, I was astonished not to have been consulted to judge this research, which has an important statistical content. Alain-Jacques Valleron told me that he found this study absolutely worthless. According to him, it had no value; it did not demonstrate anything and deserved to be exposed to public contempt. In return, I gave him a completely different opinion with solid arguments that I tried to get across.
During this discussion, I accidently found out that Professor Jean-François Bach, president of the Academy, intended to make public a very critical opinion of the same study. Finding it strange I asked to be in contact with Bach. The next day, he contacted me by telephone and told me that he thought that Professor Séralini's work should be categorically rejected. Unsurprisingly, I exposed my arguments leading to a position opposing his. During this discussion, Professor Bach kindly tempered his statements, telling me that, in the main, he and I should be able to reach a consensus. I told him that if we were able to find common ground, my reservations should be at the very least added to any communication that the Academy would be willing to make about this question, in order for the debate to remain balanced. He replied: "Too late, the shot has been fired."
But first, which responses to the Séralini study did you have a problem with, and why?

@Glennn,
Lets start with the fact that because the study involved 200 mice split up into 20 different equally sized groups and that their "data" would suggest that the more roundup male mice consumed the better they were protected from cancer, it tends to suggest that the sample sizes are too small to draw any meaningful conclusions from and that more testing/data is needed.
The sample of 200 rats, 20 rats per group, is the same number of rats used by Monsanto in its 3-month study. So, are you being critical of Monsanto's study?
And let's look at the biotech industry's study that the EFSA accepted as proof of safety.
It has the following weaknesses:
Six irrelevant "reference" control diets were introduced. These only served to introduce "data noise", which largely masked the effects of the genetic modification. In fact, significant differences were revealed in liver and kidney measurements, but these were masked by the wide range of variables introduced by the six irrelevant "reference" diets. This is scientific sleight-of-hand.
The rats were only followed over 90 days, a relatively short period equivalent to around 7-9 human years. This is inadequate to assess health risks to humans, who can be expected to eat a GM food over a lifetime.
Statistically significant differences were found but were dismissed as not treatment-related or not biologically meaningful, without scientific justification. The study period was not extended to see if these differences were in fact biologically meaningful.
Blood and urine samples were analyzed from only ten rats out of groups of 20. Yet organ weights were measured for all 20 rats per group. So the Monsanto researchers selected ten rats per sex out of 20 to analyze. What were the selection criteria? Did they choose those whose organ weights were the healthiest? Or did they analyze all 20 rats from each group and select the ten most favourable measurements to report? The method of selecting well may have been objective and random, but there is no way of knowing, and apparently, EFSA does not care. This practice invalidates the study as it introduces a scientifically unacceptable selection variable.
Fewer parameters were measured than in Séralini's study, and less often.
Fewer doses of the maize were administered than in Séralini's study (two, to Séralini's three). The Monsanto researchers tried to draw a dose-response conclusion from feeding just two doses (11% and 33% maize), but a minimum of three doses are necessary to draw a valid dose-response conclusion, since with only two points you can draw a straight line between them regardless of how they relate to one another. Three doses are required by the OECD 408 protocol on which Monsanto researchers base their studies; it is unclear why Monsanto 90-day studies habitually use only two.
Now, rather that having a discussion with yourself, respond to the above, if you will.
Also, you claimed that the industry's tests follow guidelines and standards set out by the FDA. And what guidelines might those be?
GM foods were first commercialised in the US in the early 1990s. The US food regulator--the Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA)--allowed the first GM foods onto world markets in spite of its own scientists' warnings that genetic engineering is different from conventional breeding and poses special risks, including the production of new toxins or allergens. The FDA overruled its scientists in line with a US government decision to "foster" the growth of the GM industry. The FDA formed a policy for GM foods that did not require any safety tests or labelling.
The creation of this policy was overseen by Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner of policy--a position created especially for Taylor. Taylor was a former attorney for the GM giant Monsanto and later became its vice president for public policy.
Here is link to actual documents containing FDA scientists' concerns:
http://biointegrity.org/list.html
Sure. I'm critical of that study too then at first blush. Do you have a link, we can talk about it.
But it's 10 mice per group. They separate by gender as well, which is smart.
10 mice gave them statistical oddities (if you believe their conclusion) such as male mice appearing to be better protected by cancer the more GM food and roundup they consumed.
I imagine that there are more studies about this than just the Montesanto one that you mention (being that I posted hundreds of studies about many types of GMOs); did they use more mice?
Sure. I'm critical of that study too then at first blush.
Yeah, me too.
male mice appearing to be better protected by cancer the more GM food and roundup they consumed.
So GMOs and Roundup weedkiller protects against cancer? That's odd, considering the legal case against Monsanto for hiding the results of their research into the negative effects of glyphosate.
That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying the data in the study you posted suggests that. You didn't read that part?
That criticism was addressed:
Criticism: Looking closely, male rats fed GM corn does not generally develop more tumours than the controls ...
Response: One must look at the speed with which tumours are triggered. In all three treatment groups of rats, tumours or diseases of the kidneys and liver begin in the 4th month and explode in the 11th and 12th months. Which corresponds to the age of 35 to 40 years in a human. In the control group, tumours occurred mostly at the end of life, in the 23rd and 24th months, which seems to be normal in these rats.
Did you not read that part?
Now let's look at Monsanto's record of deception when it comes to its safety studies concerning Roundup. Why do you think they were deceptive?
Also, has the FDA ever tested GMOs for safety? And if so, what was their conclusion?
And here is another study:
Feeding Study with Bt Corn (MON810: Ajeeb YG) on Rats: Biochemical Analysis and Liver Histopathology

Bt corn "MON810: Ajeeb YG" produces delta endotoxins in the whole plant due to the genetic modification process. The chemical analysis of this variety showed significant differences from its conventional counterpart "Ajeeb". Further, feeding studies on rats were designed to complete assessing the safety of "MON810: Ajeeb YG". Three groups of rats (6 males and 6 females' rats/group) were fed on control diet, non-Bt corn and Bt corn for 1.5 months and 3 months. After 1.5 months, 3 males and 3 females from each group were sacrificed, and after another 1.5 months, 3 males and 3 females from each group and their offspring were sacrificed. Histopathological examination, blood haematology and serum biochemical analysis were determined. Results indicated significant differences among the tested parameters in the three groups especially Bt group. Severe changes in the liver of Bt group after 3 months were observed.
Hm...that doesn't address the fact that fewer mice grew tumors. Just that those who did grow them grew them more quickly.
That's the problem with these small sample sizes. Tons of noise.
Just that those who did grow them grew them more quickly.
No. Tell me what you think this means:
In all three treatment groups of rats, tumours or diseases of the kidneys and liver begin in the 4th month and explode in the 11th and 12th months. Which corresponds to the age of 35 to 40 years in a human. In the control group, tumours occurred mostly at the end of life, in the 23rd and 24th months, which seems to be normal in these rats.
What do you think of Monsanto's record of deception when it comes to its safety studies concerning Roundup. Why do you think they were deceptive?
Let me know what you find in that 600 page report.
I'm going to sleep now.
CRITICISM: Strain of rats used Sprague-Dawley (SD) is prone to tumours
RESPONSE: SD rats have been used in most animal feeding trials to evaluate the safety of GM foods, and their results have been used by the biotech industry to secure approval to market GM products. They were used in the 90-day feeding trial that was conducted by industry to evaluate the toxicity of NK603 GM maize as part of the application for approval within the EU. They were also used in the original glyphosate two-year toxicity studies conducted in 2002 for regulatory approval within the EU.
The industry standard for toxicity tests performed by industry for regulatory purposes is the international protocol set out by the OECD (Organisation for International Cooperation and Development). This says that long-term carcinogenicity studies should be performed with the same strain of rat as used in shorter mid-term experiments, because this allows effects seen in the shorter experiment to be tracked to see how they develop in the long-term experiment, without the confounding factor that would occur if a different strain of rat was employed. Therefore, based on the past use of SD rats in trials of GM food and glyphosate it was scientifically correct and consistent to use this strain in Prof Seralini's long-term study.
The rats that consumed NK603 GM maize and/or Roundup in Prof Seralini's trial had an incidence of tumours, which was not just significantly greater than the control rats but also significantly greater than observed in previous studies of SD rats. The tumour incidence in the test groups in his study was overall around three times higher than that the normal rate observed in the Harlan Sprague Dawley rat strain he used, as reported in the literature (Brix et al., 2005) including in the largest study with 1329 Sprague Dawley female rats (Chandra et al., 1992).
Furthermore, the key is that there were both quantitative and qualitative differences in the tumours arising in control and test groups. In the control rats they appeared much later and at most there was one tumour per animal if at all. In the treated rats the tumours began to be detected much earlier (four months in males; seven months in females), grew much faster and many animals had two or even three tumours. Many animals in the test groups had to be euthanised under animal welfare rules due to the massive size of the tumours; none of the control animals had to be euthanised but died in their own time. One should not ignore these biological facts.
CRITICISM: The control groups were far too small. Looks like "random variation" in rats liable to develop tumours.
RESPONSE: This two year life-long experiment was conducted in a GLP environment according to international OECD guidelines in terms of animals used.
Standard practice is for the control group to be matched in size to the experimental groups. The experimental groups were 20 animals [10 male + 10 female] and therefore the control group should be 20 animals.
Prof [Anthony] Trewavas is not correct to say: "The control group is inadequate to make any deduction. Only 10 rodents so far as I can see and some of these develop tumours. Until you know the degree of variation in 90 or 180 (divided into groups of ten) control rodents these results are of no value." The 20 animal control group is big enough to get a measure of tumour frequency. You don't need to look at hundreds of animals. If he believes this, then he should also agree that the studies done by others including industry are also invalid.
The key thing is that there are big differences between the tumour frequencies in the control and the experimental groups (see previous answer). Claims that the results are just the result of random variation in a rat line that has a high frequency of tumours are not valid. The evidence for this is that the differences between the groups are much larger than the standard deviations of the two groups. In Seralini's study, the differences are so large that it is not necessary to use a statistical test. This study used more rats in test groups, for a far longer duration, than any previous investigation employed by industry to obtain approval for NK603 GM maize and other GM crop products.

chapter 28 – solanthology
hello. a new day, a new chapter. so let's keep this here terse and start with the presentation of the next part of this mellifluous anthology. chapter 28, it's about time:
1. Graves x BBYGURL – Heart Eyz
we'd like to start with 'hearty eyz', a secret gem straight from london-based graves & bbygurl (whose origins are unknown, it would be great if someone would help us to find himher). graves is one of a kind, a guy who is incredulously unknown in the world. it is getting more ludicrous while checking out his other productions on his profile. thank god we have found him and we're pleased to talk a little bit of this fellow producer. to speak some words about the track itself: a pile of trenchant basslines, fused with the young-girl-acapella, that let you get goose-pimples or how some us may say: the goose-bumps. 'heart-eyz' can be played in a club, on your diskman, wherever you might want to hear some good vibes. fortunately, the track is available as a freebie. so go fetch a copy of this, give it a like, a repost. instant support, instant post.
follow graves:
2. Playn – For Real
'for real' is a song from producer playn whose plans are obvious: create some dancy vibes to entertain you and your uncle. why? it has all the elements of a successful track in the club, the gym or the family's dinner place. we've been introduced to this song by our fellow friends of 'nightcap', which is a bristol-based electronic label. 'nightcap' also collaborates with the label 'M14', which we already featured in one of our last chapter of the solanthology. the artist itself, 'playn' comes straight from french city 'montpellier' and he delivers yet again the evidence that the french do know to make music. to be a little specific about 'for real': a song with elements from UK bass, bassline house & garage music. we actually don't know with which part we should start to talk about, so we keep the decision to you, if you a.) like the intro, b.) the bridge, c.) the bassline or d.) the perfectly set vox acapellas. p.s: it's a freebie.
follow playn:
3. Ray Volpe – By Your Side (MaXD Remix)
so, we go on and booom. what did we just listen to? the first reaction was something between: wooooow and more wooowww. the second, probably something between drooling and abusing the replay button. 'by your side' was originally composed by ny-based producer ray volpe, who likes to do things in dubstep, glitch hop and trap. the song has got a refreshment by several producers, one of those was maXD aka max trippenbach. the kid from canada, did it in the maXD-way. well what that this suppose to mean? the trippenbach-boy did something magically with the provided stems of volpe. the genre: forget it, a genrefication is futile. and if so, well it would end up like electronic-dubstep-futuristic-callitwhateveryouwant-bass. the remix-refix is something that has to be downloaded on your mobile device, praise the lord, all you have to do is to press the provided link on the track to catch yet-another-piece-of-pulchritude for free. well, let's keep the description terse, and get back to listen to it just for once again. thank you max!
follow MaXD:
4. ∂jgor x OLFVN – drifting awäy
the next song can be put into the music-for-emotional-and-outstanding-moments-section. we're talking about 'drifting awäy' by polish producers'∂jgor' (obviously pronounced 'ajgor') and 'olfvn'. to be a little bit precisely: we do have here a production with influences from hip hop, future bass and ambient music. a synth composition that let's your body melt away. an ambient way of creation that could be perfectly fit in the soundtrack of a thriller or drama movie. 'drifting awäy' is unfortunately not available as a free download, maybe in time, they're going to put on a download link, but right now, it does not really matter. all you have to do is give them a like, a repost and embrace the moment while listening to the song. thank both of you for the creation, we're pleased for your upcoming projects!
follow ∂jgor:
follow olfvn:
5. drip-133 – unless im wrong (feat. bones)
final track, yet-another-ambient-esque track that is simply magnificent. it's a song to relax, enjoy and think about incidents in the past. to be precisely about the artist: origins unknown, current country unknown. but that fact that we really do know nothing about the artist is currently irrelevant. this here is about the music, whether you're coming from the north pole or sweet indonesia. drip-133 is definitely one of these people who would like to tell a story by his or her music, entertain and enrich us. the only thing to lambaste about 'unless im wrong' is maybe the length of the song – it's too short (said with a tearful and shuddering voice). feel free to check the track, the artist and the other creative work on his or her soundcloud page. immediate support, immediate post.
follow drip-133:
follow bones:
and it's time to say again, to keep an eye on these people,
to say hi, wait for more updates and a goodbye.

Thanks to everyone who backed this project! With your help, Tarocco will now become a reality.
Hopefully this success will support the creation of more high performance CNC gear that is accessible to everyone.
As of this moment, the boards and some components have been ordered. The PCB assembly should start in the following days.
The board design had a small change (pin swap), and better electrolytic capacitors have been selected to replace the units used on the test boards. The updated BOM and EDA files will soon be uploaded to the Github repo.
And, if you're interested on knowing how the production is going, keep an eye on the updates!

Kazakhstan moving ahead
Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev
Astana, September 1st: Today, in a speech delivered at the opening of the 3rd session of the Parliament in Astana, Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev outlined recent successes and underlined tasks for the rest of the year.
"We have met all our obligations in terms of social security" said the President. "Over 5000 investment projects are under way in country regions, with 393 000 new jobs created. As a result, the real monetary income of the population has augmented in the first half of 2009. For the past decade annual monetary income of Kazakhstan's population has grown on average five times."¦
"We have halted downward trends in the economy. Notably, industrial production output in Kazakhstan grew by 3.1% in the second quarter of this year, as compared to the first quarter.
"For January to July" continued the President, "the gross agricultural produce grew by 2.8% against the same period of 2008. Farmers have received over KZT 63 billion in State subvention. These subsidies enabled them to succeed in their sowing campaigns and increase areas under crops by 1 million 600 thousand hectares.
According to President Nazarbayev the entire financial system in Kazakhstan has been stabilized. "For the first seven months of this year, investments into the Kazakh economy grew by 7% on 2008. S&MBs' production output grew by 19% in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter. These businesses have created 4,700 new jobs.
"Now, our first task is to draft the programme of the nation's development through to 2020″¦" continues the President. "This is the next step in implementation of the "˜Kazakhstan 2030 Programme'. The Government should consider legislation regulating industrial policy as a top priority. Another economic priority is development of national agriculture.
"The second task will be the strengthening of stability and the competitive edge of the country's financial sector. We have to strengthen financial supervision bodies, amend legislation regulating the insurance market and ensure greater efficiency of the legislation on budgeting.
"The third task is drastic enhancement of the business climate. Works should continue to ensure greater Kazakh content in government and corporate purchases.
"The fourth task is to render wider social support. Special assistance should be offered to young specialists ready to work in rural areas. The Parliament should also work on further implementation of the Road Map Programme of Country Regions Development"¦ The initial task was to reach every village and every family therein"¦ We are also witnessing large-scale works to renew housing and utilities, repair roads, construct schools, kindergartens and hospitals"¦
"The fifth task will be the further democratization of Kazakh society"¦ We need to raise people's confidence in the judicial system, its transparency and efficiency"¦ I am instructing the Government to draft and submit for the parliament's consideration draft laws on tackling corruption, on expert appraisal of legislation, on lobbying, on wider use of e-government capabilities. "¦
Concluding his address, President Nazarbayev said that "The year to come is of special significance to our nation. Kazakhstan will chair the OSCE. This mission is a huge responsibility and a great opportunity. This chance to study work practices of the OSCE member countries' parliaments should not be wasted"¦ We should upgrade lawmaking process, bringing it closer to European standards. Our common duty is to ensure that Kazakhstan copes with the responsibility and strengthen its weight in international politics."

AXA IM Renames Equity Income Fund to Reflect Wider Investment Universe
Press Release 18 September 2019
AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) today announces the AXA Framlington Blue Chip Equity Income Fund has been renamed the AXA Framlington UK Equity Income Fund to better reflect its new investment objectives and its ability to invest in small and mid cap companies.
Effective as of 4 September, the renamed AXA Framlington UK Equity Income Fund, will continue to aim to produce higher than average long-term growth of income and capital, but also target a yield of distributable income in excess of 100% of the FTSE All Share on a rolling three-year basis, and in excess of 90% on an annual basis, maintaining its classification within the Investment Association's UK Equity Income sector.
In addition to the new name, the fund's objectives and investment universe will also change, significantly expanding the available number of stocks the fund can invest in. The fund will continue to target companies with high sustainable barriers to entry within their industry.
Simon Young, manager of AXA Framlington UK Equity Income Fund, said: "Investing in companies that can thrive whatever the circumstances remains the fund's key focus. We seek to invest in companies with high barriers to entry which insulates them from competition and allow them to navigate challenging economic circumstances. We believe these companies, allied to sound balance sheets and good cashflows will be able to grow their dividends ahead of inflation over the longer term."
The strategy incorporates four distinct themes – companies that are the lowest cost providers in their industry, companies that have high levels of intellectual property such as patents, companies that have high levels of repeat sales, and companies with excellent distribution networks.
The fund has enjoyed strong performance under manager Simon Young since he joined AXA IM in September last year. As at 30 August the fund has returned 13.43% year-to-date; 13.80% and 23.85% over 3 and 5 years respectively.[1]
Commenting on the announcement Rob Bailey, Head of UK Wholesale Distribution, said: "The UK is a key market for AXA Investment Managers and we are committed to growing and developing our UK Equities arm. The renaming of the fund to the AXA Framlington UK Equity Income fund allows Simon and the team greater flexibility to invest in the best equity income opportunities available across the full spectrum of UK listed companies. Performance has been strong since Simon's appointment and we continue to see a positive outlook for UK equities."

1 Performance figures for AXA Framlington UK Equity Income Fund Z GBP Acc as at 30/08/2019
Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and the income from them can fluctuate and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Changes in exchange rates will affect the value of investments made overseas. Investments in newer markets and smaller companies offer the possibility of higher returns but may also involve a higher degree of risk.
Concentration Risk: as this Fund may, from time to time, hold relatively few investments, it may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than a fund holding a larger number of investments.

Heritage Pathway Training Sessions
The Heritage Pathway provides undergraduates and postgraduate students, as well as Early Career Researchers at the University of Oxford with the skills, knowledge and confidence to engage effectively and efficiently with a wide range of partners in the heritage, museums and cultural sector.
The theme for 2019-2020 is Heritage and Authenticity. Ideas around authenticity lie at the heart of many questions in the heritage sector and most of these questions are context and nation specific. Variations of the question 'Is it real?' underpin all aspects of work in the heritage sector.
This term's sessions will place the question of authenticity in an international context, to suggest that approaches to authenticity are invariably linked to dynamic issues of cultural and societal expressions and values. As the heritage sector is increasingly globalized, it is more important than ever to interrogate global variations in what it means to be authentic.
Workshops will run on alternate Thursdays from 3pm to 5pm in the 3rd Floor Seminar Room, Radcliffe Humanities Building, Woodstock Road and will be followed by drinks and networking until 5:45pm.

On this Eve of 2019, I was reflecting on the year – the array of emotions, experiences and learnings. I am definitely not the same person this time last year and I know a lot of you will feel the same.
My Mrs V Shift was extra-ordinary this year, the shared knowledge from the panellists and the sacred space in the room was transformational. My trip to the US was amazing and I met so many incredible people and served inspiring clients. I started Mrs V Brandlife – super excited about focusing on my business and the people who want something truly unique. I discovered machine learning and how our humanity is the key to a successful future. Amazing year and 2019 is looking AWESOME! How do I know? Well apart from feeling great about it, from my very good sources, I'm heard for most it will be supercharged and POWERFUL. So, get your intentions in order so they are ready to hit the ground running!
Now back to setting those intentions, I did reflect on what was important for me to focus on with change so rapid in society, tech and not to mention how our own minds are responding differently, we are seeing and feeling more. This year I'm doing 3 things.
Find my own pace, love it and know that there are no missed opportunities. I personally know that magic happens in the stillness.
Let go of Expectations. Things are different now, the world and our lives, trying to hold on to old ideas of security, work, personal growth has changed. Look to create NEW pathways in your life – you don't know what you don't know, so just let go and trust.
Find joy where you can. There is so much suffering at present and mental health issues are increasing rapidly. Society and living expenses makes us work harder and longer in our lives, we have to make an effort to find joy in the everyday things – and the first step is to practice gratitude.


We are a full-service, independent, locally owned & operated, 24/7 family business, here to respond to the needs of our communities.
Arrangements offered include funerals and visitations, graveside services, cremations, and memorial services. Selections are made from a wide variety of caskets, burial vaults, cremation caskets, urns and urn vaults.
It is your right, and our desire, that you have as complete an understanding as possible regarding our services. We invite you to discuss freely and frankly with us about any questions that you may have. We are proud of our business history and reputation and always strive to maintain our excellence in personalized and professional funeral services.
We are priced competitively and are willing work with you to design an affordable and valuable service that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.


Last night was the penultimate of the Spring 2019 FEOignition. For a newcomer to FEO it has been very interesting and rewarding to have taken part alongside other FEO members as a facilitator over the last 6 weeks, helping 37 start-up entrepreneurs.
All delegates have shared the same basis denominator with the FEO members present; passion for business, determination to try to succeed and openness for new ideas.
The sessions have given the new businesses some very important lessons but most importantly in the first session to hear start-up stories from past FEOignition delegates laid the foundation for an interesting six Wednesday evenings that followed. To see and hear how the speakers managed to go from FEOignition delegates to be running successful businesses as FEO members was a very powerful start to the event confirming the value of the program.
The sector variation has been wide from traditional trades, health foods, IT systems, cake makers to humanistic funerals. It has been fascinating to learn about all the different sectors. I believe that age is of little importance in business but I must have to admit that due to my age I have been educated by some of the Ignition delegates especially in areas green; I now drink my coffee in a bamboo made 100 % biodegradable coffee cup.
Looking forward to see how the 37 delegates businesses will take shape in the future following the last program on the 2019 Spring FEOignition next Wednesday.


Verdissimo, the largest producer of preserved flowers and plants, has undertaken the floral decoration in Isla de la Palma airport.
Using different preserved plants of the highest quality, Verdissimo has created a zen atmosphere in Isla de la Palma airport, which transmits serenity and relaxation to each one of its travellers.
The zen atmosphere creates spaces filled with harmony in which inner peace can be attained through carefully selected decoration.
In this case, Verdissimo has gotten involved in the project to achieve this objective. In this first phase of the decoration, the expectations have been met by creating a dream space with a mix of preserved plants that fit perfectly with the desired zen style.
Plants are always a good option to decorate a space indoors because they give that special touch that you only get with the intense green of preserved plants.
Bonsai have been key for the decoration of the airport. Large bonsai have been used for the gardens and also a large Bonsai Pitosporum. These trees, with their intense green colour, have given life and an Oriental touch to the airport. They originate from Japan and they adapt well to any space because of their versatility.
Spheres of moss ball are often used to design really natural decoration. Also, they are perfect for adding to any floral arrangement.
For Isla de la Palma airport, Verdissimo has used some large spheres of moss ball and has hung them in the hallways used by the travellers to make the space appear more open.
These plants break the rigidity of vertical compositions. Years ago, they were very in-fashion for decorating the entrance of homes, together with other plants and flowers. They are also a good option to decorate gardens.
Moss can be used to create spectacular decorations indoors.
Verdissimo has included moss in the first phase of the decoration of the airport because it gives that fresh and natural touch.
This decoration will remain fixed and stable in Isla de la Palma airport thanks to the main condition of preserved plants: their long duration.
Still, this is only the first phase of the decoration of Isla de la Palma airport; soon we'll have more to tell you!

Astoria Park War Memorial
The Astoria Park War memorial honors the men who fought and died in World War I from the neighborhood of Long Island City. Erected in 1926, it is located on the far end of Astoria Park, along Shore Boulevard. The monument consists of a wide pedestal with a decorate stone stele. A large engraving on the pedestal features a Biblical quote from John 15:13, followed by a smaller, specific dedication.
A view of the monument from Shore Boulevard Human for scale.
A view of the inscription
Location & History
The Astoria Park War Memorial is not readily noticeable upon entering Astoria Park, as it is tucked on Shore Boulevard (which runs along the water), behind the large swimming pool, which was added almost ten years later, in 1936.1 The monument itself was commissioned by the Long Island City Committee in 1926, which erected and dedicated the piece to the residents of Long Island City who had perished in the war from 1914 to 1918.2 In total, the combined death toll for the neighborhoods of Astoria and Long Island City (Astoria had been part of Long Island city for a brief time, and the neighborhoods were often grouped together) was 101, with 39 from Astoria3 and 62 from Long Island City.4
The monument itself was designed by architecture firm Ruehl and Warren, and the art on the stone stele was sculpted by renowned American sculptor Gaetano Cecere.5
The monument consists of a 10" by 20' base, with a 3' by 15' pedestal, topped with a 6' by 3.9' stele.5 The decorative stele, which is a type of stone or wooden slab used as a memorial, features a female victory symbol, in which an angelic figure holds a sword in her right hand and a laurel in the other, representing the two sides of war and peace.1 The ends of the pedestal are capped with circular markings, and the sides of the stele are adorned with sculpted wreaths, additional symbols of peace. The pedestal features an inscription with a Biblical quote and a note of dedication.
The large type of the inscription reads:
GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS
This quote, which comes from John 15:13, encapsulates the sacrifice that the men the monument honors demonstrated by giving up their lives for their fellow soldiers. Below the quote reads, in smaller text:
ERECTED 1926 BY THE PEOPLE OF LONG ISLAND CITY IN HONOR OF ALL THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS WHO SERVED IN THE WORLD WAR 1914-1918
The wording of this dedication does not specifically single out just citizens of Long Island City who laid down their lives, and does not restrict its dedication to the years 1917 and 1918, when the United States was a participant in the war. The side of the monument facing away from Shore Boulevard does not feature any designs or inscriptions.
World War I, described as the Great War at the time of the monument's dedication, ended on November 11th, 1918, although many of the deaths associated with the war didn't occur until later due to injuries and illnesses.

Wisconsin State Natural Areas Program Trempealeau Mountain (No. 356)
Photo by Thomas A. Meyer
Perrot State Park
Within Perrot State Park, Trempealeau County. T18N-R9W, Section 19. 90 acres.
Surrounded by the Mississippi and Trempealeau Rivers, the steep-sided Trempealeau Mountain is one of only three solid rock islands along the entire stretch of Mississippi River. Standing 425 feet high, the mountain was used as an early navigational device by steamboat captains and other river travelers. The mountain is mostly wooded with black and white oak and basswood. Red oaks are found on the southeast-facing hollow with large patches of interrupted ferns while sugar maple and basswood dominate on the cooler northeast facing slopes. On dry south-facing slopes are small patches of dry prairie with big blue-stem, needle grass, side-oats grama, hairy grama, white and purple prairie-clover, prairie larkspur, and partridge pea. The mountain is rich in archeological features with numerous Native American mounds, burial sites, and habitation sites. The name Trempealeau comes from the French, "la montagne qui trempe à l'eau" meaning "the mountain whose foot is bathed in water". Trempealeau Mountain is owned by the DNR, as part of Perrot State Park and was designated a State Natural Area in 2002.
From the intersection of State Highway 35 and Main Street in Trempealeau, go south on Main Street about two blocks, then west into Perrot State Park on South Park Road 2.6 miles to a boat launch west of the road. Access is by boat.
Trempealeau Mountain is owned by:

The DNR's state natural areas program is comprised of lands owned by the state, private conservation organizations, municipalities, other governmental agencies, educational institutions and private individuals. While the majority of SNAs are open to the public, access may vary according to individual ownership policies. Public use restrictions may apply due to public safety, or to protect endangered or threatened species or unique natural features. Lands may be temporarily closed due to specific management activities. Users are encouraged to contact the landowner for more specific details.
The data shown on these maps have been obtained from various sources, and are of varying age, reliability, and resolution. The data may contain errors or omissions and should not be interpreted as a legal representation of legal ownership boundaries.

Very few State Natural Areas have public facilities, but nearly all are open for a variety of recreational activities as indicated below. Generally, there are no picnic areas, restrooms, or other developments. Parking lots or designated parking areas are noted on individual SNA pages and maps. Trails, if present, are typically undesignated footpaths. If a developed trail is present, it will normally be noted on the SNA map and/or under the "Access" tab. A compass and topographic map or a GPS unit are useful tools for exploring larger, isolated SNAs.
Allowable activities
In general, the activities listed below are allowed on all DNR-owned SNA lands. Exceptions to this list of public uses, such as SNAs closed to hunting, are noted under the "Access" tab above and posted with signs on site.

Waverly senior Nate Ackley finished 30th in a race that featured 38 complete teams, and a field of 317 runners.
We always look forward to going to McQuaid, it is a great opportunity for our kids to test themselves against really top-flight competition," said Athens coach Mike Bronson. "We had a really successful day, the boys placed seventh as a team, which is our best team showing at McQuaid.
"Matt Gorsline placed higher than any Athens boy has in the years we have been attending," noted Bronson. "Ethan Denlinger ran a really good race, this is only his second year running, so 37th is a great finish.
"It is good to have Kyle Anthony back, he just needs another race or two to get back to full strength," continued Bronson.
"In the junior high boys race, Eli Hicks ran a tremendous race, he's only a 7th-grader, but he finished ninth in his race and ended up running the 9th-fastest time of the day for all junior high boys," added Bronson.
