Contour plowing or contour farming is a farming practice that enables sustainable agriculture.
Strip cropping prevents soil erosion and can improve soil fertility.
Farming is one of the oldest and sustainable human activities. As societies evolved from simple to sophisticated lifestyles, human beings began to till land and farm in order to produce their own food. As time passed, man discovered different ways of tilling and farming on different landscapes, including slopes that are notorious for soil erosion. Some of the methods used to date include windbreaks, planting cover crops, planting grass on waterways, and contour cultivation among others. Contour cultivation (contour farming, contour plowing, or contour bunding) is a sustainable way of farming where farmers plant crops across or perpendicular to slopes to follow the contours of a slope of a field. This arrangement of plants breaks up the flow of water and makes it harder for soil erosion to occur.
How Does Contour Farming Work?
Plowing and planting across slope contours create man-made water breaks that not only allows enough time for the water to enter the soil, but also to settles the topsoil without washing it down the slope. On slopes with no contours, water runoff quickly without the soil properly absorbing it and carrying the top fertile soil with it, therefore, leaving a non-fertile land up the slope. Contour farming also creates water breaks that reduce the formation of gullies and rills when a place experiences heavy rains and water run-off which is the leading cause of soil erosion. For contour farming to be effective, the resulting curved furrows around the slope ought to be on equal levels. Contour farming can have one crop on the farm or a mixture of several crops through strip cropping.
Strip cropping is a type of contour farming where farmers plant different crops in alternating strips of different levels. This method equally prevents soil erosion and can improve soil fertility through crop rotation. For example, a farmer may plant different crops on different strips of land during alternating farming seasons, such as rotating strips of legumes and corn enables the corn to use nitrogen that the legumes left in the soil.
First, contour farming maintains soil fertility by preventing downwash of the fertile topsoil of a farm and consequently enabling betters yields. When done right, this method reduces erosion by more than 50%. With the reduced loss of fertility comes the reduced use of fertilizer and a reduced cost of purchasing fertilizers. In most cases, rainwater washes farming fertilizers downstream and consequently contaminating freshwater systems. Secondly, contour plowing increases the soil's water retention ability to ensure that enough water soaks into the soil for good health of the plants. Furthermore, water retention improves soil quality, irrigation, and water conservation thus reducing labor that would have gone into physical fetching of water. Other benefits are and time efficiency and reduced use of machines which in turn reduce the wear and tear. In summary, the method tends to promote sustainable agriculture and reduce most of the ills associated with soil erosion on slopes such as habitat destruction.
During the period of Ancient Greek, a thalassocratic ancient Semitic civilization, the Phoenicians, who originated from the Eastern Mediterranean, practiced some of the earliest forms of contour farming. The farmers in Phoenicia (land of the palm trees) helped spread contour farming throughout the Mediterranean region and eventually many farmers in present-day Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and parts of Turkey adopted the method, however, the Romans at the time preferred straight furrows. Over a period, societies who embraced irrigation farming adopted this method of plowing and planting. This practice eventually spread to different parts of Europe who also introduced contour farming to some of their colonies. The first ever recorded contour farming in the US came at the turn of the nineteenth century but the country did not fully embrace this method until during the twentieth century. During the time of Thomas Jefferson's term, farmers called this system "horizontal plowing" and his relative, Randolph, developed a plowing technique that caught water in ridges of upturned land unlike plowing down like roof shingles. Randolph's invention amazed Jefferson because of improved water retention capability. This method did not really take off during this time because farmers had little knowledge on erosion.
In a bid to control soil erosion, the US Department of Agriculture established the US Soil Conservation Service, currently the Natural Resource Conservation Service, and started promoting contouring in the 1930s. This move was after a realization that soil erosion, just like desertification, was a threat to agricultural sustainability in the US. In 1934, the Yearbook of Agriculture wrote that "more than 35 million acres of previously cultivated fertile land were destroyed and could no longer yield enough crops." Furthermore, the book also noted that 100 million acres of the then cultivated land had lost most or all of the topsoils that contained humus and over 125 million acres of the then cultivated land were losing their topsoil in an alarming rate. The consequences of that trend, according to the yearbook, could have been large-scale desertification and permanent transformation of the agricultural landscape to an arid area. In addition, the book noted that the trend had other consequences including, low food supply, massive loss of jobs and properties, and increased commodity prices.
To roll out a massive campaign for contour farming, the Soil Conservation Service partnered with federal institutions, state governments, universities, and communities in order to promote the method to both small-scale and large-scale farmers as well as to research more on how to achieve the best results with the method. Institutions such as the University of Nebraska rolled out innovative campaigns that challenged farmer perceptions and encouraged them to do contour farming. Within the next four years, the new agricultural techniques reduced soil erosion by approximately 65% although drought prevailed. Most farmers reported between 5% and 10% increase in yields although demonstrations under ideal conditions indicated that the yield can increase by wider margins of up to 50%. As the campaign had anticipated, farmers reported using less fertilizer, reduced erosion, and less energy and resource use.
The practice of contour farming, though good, is not ideal in all slope and climate conditions. Contour farming is effective on slopes that have gradients between 2% and 10%. Secondly, the area must be receiving a given amount of rainfall in a given period. When the slopes are steeper and rainfall is greater, strip cropping becomes ideal in contour farming because this provides an extra layer of protection.
Experts encourage contour farmers to use additional soil and water conservation techniques to supplement the former in order to yield the best results. Such supplements include strip cropping, use of cover crops, use of windbreaks, grassing waterways, and building terraces among others. Strip cropping is good for long and steeper slopes while irregular slopes need more than a single key contour line. In getting the key line, farmers should use a contour gauge or a hand level and thereafter plant parallel to the key line. Grassed waterways are also important, especially where there is a high concentration of runoff water while grassed strips come in handy where the contour lines are too sharp for farming equipment to plow. Other techniques to include are growing bush or tree borders across the slopes (vegetative barriers), residue management, and mulching to protect the soil.
What Is the Keyline Design?
To better understand the ideal combination of techniques, farmers should have in mind the climate of the region, soil condition, and the angle of the slope. An agricultural land fall under one of the following classifications; extreme, high, moderate, mild, or insensitive in terms of soil sensitivity. P.A. Yeoman devised the Keyline Design that guides contour farming in order to get some minimum ideals.
The Keyline Design looks at how specific topographies link to water flow for an optimum use of water on a farm. In the design, contours ought to be made in specific ways to control rainfall runoff and maximize irrigation of undulating land during fast floods without building terraces. This system also observes that at the end of a contour, the land is always steeper on one side than the other leading to furrows deviating from the true contour when plowing parallel to a contour, thus making rainwater flow to the steeper side and increase erosion. To control this movement of rainwater, Keyline Design uses "off contour" drift when tilling furrows.
Planning ahead helps the seemingly difficult contour farming to become easy. Planning involves surveying and estimating the number of contour lines needed and if other methods would be necessary to supplement. For effective yield, farmers should perform regular check and maintenance. Maintenance rectifies unforeseen mistakes as well as repair areas that elements of nature destroyed.
Contour farming is popular on all the inhabited continents of the world. In many countries, both small-scale subsistence farmers and largescale farmers try to overcome slopes through this method. In North America, both the US and Canada have extensive farms under contour farming. International organizations such as Oxfam UK and FAO encourage farmers in parts of Africa like Burkina Faso to adopt contour farming.


Local Industries (LI) is proud to announce the acquisition of Mike and Jamil chairs by the Vitra Design Museum in Basel. They will be part of the permanent museum collection.
The Vitra Design Museum numbers among the world's leading museums of design. It is dedicated to the research and presentation of design, past and present, and examines design's relationship to architecture, art and everyday culture. In the main museum building by Frank Gehry, the museum annually mounts two major temporary exhibitions. Smaller parallel shows are presented in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery, a neighbouring exhibition space. Often developed with renowned designers, many of the museum's exhibitions cover highly relevant contemporary themes, such as future technologies, sustainability or questions like mobility and social awareness. Others address historical aspects or protagonists.
The work of the Vitra Design Museum is based on its collection, which encompasses not only key objects of design history, but also the estates of several important figures (including Charles & Ray Eames, George Nelson, Verner Panton and Alexander Girard). The museum library and document archive are available to researchers upon request. The museum conceives its exhibitions for touring, and they are shown at venues around the world. On the Vitra Campus, they are complemented by a diverse programme of events, guided tours and workshops.
The Vitra Design Museum would be unthinkable without its extensive collection of design objects. They form the basis of many exhibitions, publications and research projects. The focus of the collection lies on industrial furniture design and lighting – in these areas, the unique holdings of the museum are of international importance. They are supplemented by smaller groups of objects, including cutlery, consumer electronics and architectural models. The estates of prominent designers such as Charles & Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, Anton Lorenz, George Nelson and Verner Panton are also maintained by the Vitra Design Museum. The expert preservation of the collection is ensured by the museum's own conservation workshop. An extensive document archive and a library complement the collection, which is constantly expanding. The Vitra Design Museum regularly provides loans to other museums and galleries, including renowned partners as the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Funds and the digital assets that underline the bitcoin futures contracts in which the Funds invest are susceptible to operational and information security risk. The digital nature of bitcoins and the irreversible nature of bitcoin transactions makes bitcoin an attractive target for theft, hacking and other cyber-attacks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber-attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets such as bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies or gaining access to sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites. Such events have historically correlated with a drop in the price of bitcoin, which may adversely affect your investment in a Fund. Cyber security failures or breaches of a Fund's third party service provider (including, but not limited to, index providers, the administrator and transfer agent) or the issuers of the bitcoin futures contracts in which the Funds invest, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of a Fund's shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Funds their service providers, counterparties and other market participants on which the Funds rely could be negatively impacted as a result. While the Funds have established business continuity plans and systems to prevent such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified.
In contrast, if you are "going short" on Bitcoin, you assume that Bitcoin prices will fall. Buying put options will enable you to sell Bitcoin at some point in the future at a price that is higher than the future price you expect. In analogy to the example above, if the current Bitcoin price is 5,000 USD and you expect it to fall to 2,000 USD in 6 months, then put options allowing you to sell Bitcoin for 5,000 USD in 5 months (when everyone else is selling for 2000 USD) are very valuable.
Bitcoin is pseudonymous rather than anonymous in that the cryptocurrency within a wallet is not tied to people, but rather to one or more specific keys (or "addresses").[53] Thereby, bitcoin owners are not identifiable, but all transactions are publicly available in the blockchain.[53] Still, cryptocurrency exchanges are often required by law to collect the personal information of their users.[53]
For purposes of the diversification test described in subparagraph (b) above, the term "outstanding voting securities of such issuer" will include the equity securities of a qualified publicly traded partnership. Also, for purposes of the diversification test in (b) above, the identification of the issuer (or, in some cases, issuers) of a particular Fund investment can depend on the terms and conditions of that investment. In some cases, identification of the issuer (or issuers) is uncertain under current law, and an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to issuer identification for a particular type of investment may adversely affect the Fund's ability to meet the diversification test in (b) above.
In the event an order is cancelled, the Authorized Participant will be responsible for reimbursing the Fund for all costs associated with cancelling the order, including costs for repositioning the portfolio, provided the Authorized Participant shall not be responsible for such costs if the order was cancelled for reasons outside the Authorized Participant's control or the Authorized Participant was not otherwise responsible or at fault for such cancellation. Upon written notice to the Distributor, such cancelled order may be resubmitted the following Business Day, with a newly constituted Portfolio Deposit or Fund Securities to reflect the next calculated NAV.
I'm an elderly gentleman, closing in on 68 years of age. My son introduced me to Crypto in late 2012. After doing a lot of researching Btc I felt strongly that It had a lot of growth and potential ahead of it. So my son and I built my 1st rig and I started mining in January 2013, pulled $5,000 from my IRA and bought Btc at $13.44 and have never looked back since. The sweetest sound that I've ever heard was the clink of my 1st mined Bitcoin way back when. That was as satisfying a note as there ever was on any musical scale. Nothing but happy days ahead since. Don't get me wrong, there have been bumps in this Crypto highway, the demise of the Silk Road, Mt Gox, DAO hack to name a few but as a HOLDer (holding on for the long duration) not a HODLer (hanging on for dear life) and not day trading, has rewarded me with quite a decent profit. It just takes a lot of patience (Sisu) and doing your research with due diligence. I have since invested in Ethereum (Dec 2015), Monero (Jan 2016) and lately Omisego (July 2017) all purchased from some of my profits from Btc to go along with my newly acquired free Bch and recently free Omg. I'm currently operating 3 rigs equipped with 6 gpus each. 2 mining Eth and 1 Monero for now, all of which will be re-evaluated after Metropolis kicks in to see which direction I go from here. So I 'm back to doing more research in order to help with my next moves but I'll always be a strong believer in Ethereum which is where I've made my money so far. HOLDing on to the rest for now. Btc $5,000-10,000, Eth $2,500- 5,000, Monero $200-400, Omg $100-1,000 no one ever really knows but MY research says yes and so far MY research has not proven me wrong. Bought Btc at $13.44, Eth at .80, Monero at .48, Omg at .43 Bch for free. No where to go but up for me. Just biding my time. It's taken me over 4 and a half years to get here but I've made over $4,000,000 so far with just my original investment plus the cost of my rigs and I'm still sitting on a lot more. Taking a position and HOLDing is where the real profit is and it isn't going to happen overnight. So if you want aggravation and ulcers go ahead and day trade, try and beat the Market I wish you luck but the real money comes with Research, HOLDing and Patience. Hope this advice helps because in the long run what it all comes down to, its just Eths, You and Me hopefully making the right decisions.
Cardano (ADA) is a fully open-source, decentralized, public blockchain and cryptocurrency. Cardano is very similar to Ethereum, and the team wants to build on that. Cardano aims to operate a global smart-contract platform which will deliver much more advanced features compared to its competitors. Loads of existing investors are excited because Cardano is the first blockchain founded on scientific philosophy, and also the very first provably secure proof of stake algorithm.
Now there is an open interest in the futures contract created. The simple act of two traders with no open interest, one making a limit order which then gets filled by the other, is what creates this position. The exchange then holds the 0.2 BTC margin of each party and the Profit and Loss (PNL) of the contract seesaws between counterparties based on market movements. If the exchange is liquid and rational, then the market price of the contract will change as the spot market moves. So if bitcoin price starts going up, futures traders will bid the price up.
Oops! These guys seem to have had no background in cryptocurrency, which hurt them. If they had raised money from "donors" by selling tokens with no "rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features," they'd be fine. But they were used to raising money from investors, so they called the people who bought their tokens "investors." It's a rookie crypto mistake, and one that might cost them all the money they raised.
price of a particular asset, whether a Fund will realize a gain or loss from the purchase or writing (sale) of options on an index depends upon movements in the level of prices for specific underlying assets generally or, in the case of certain indexes, in an industry or market segment. A Fund will not enter into an option position that exposes the Fund to an obligation to another party, unless the Fund either (i) owns an offsetting position in the underlying securities or other options and/or (ii) earmarks or segregates with the Fund's custodian bank cash or liquid instruments that, when added to the premiums deposited with respect to the option, are equal to the market value of the underlying assets not otherwise covered.
A Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds that are organized as trusts. An exchange-traded trust is a pooled trust that invests in assets, including physical commodities, and issues shares that are traded on a securities exchange. When the pool of assets is fixed, exchange traded trusts are treated as transparent for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and thus, the Fund will be treated as holding its share of an exchange traded trust's assets, and the Fund's sale of its interest in an exchange-traded trust will be treated as a sale of the underlying assets, for purpose of determining whether the Fund meets the 90 percent gross income test described above . As with investments in commodities and similar assets investments in exchange traded trusts may generate non-qualifying income for purposes of this test. As a result, a Fund's investments in exchange traded trusts can be limited by the Fund's intention to qualify as a RIC, and can bear adversely on the Fund's ability to so qualify.
Gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time a Fund accrues income or other receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities generally are treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, on disposition of some investments, including debt securities and certain forward contracts denominated in a foreign currency, gains or losses attributable to
People are getting excited about Hempcoin (THC) because it's slowly but surely starting to re-surface again and receive some of the media's attention that it deserves. Even though a couple of competitors recently showed up (PotCoin and CannabisCoin) – Hempcoin is actually the oldest technologies and coins – not just in the industry – but in the crypto world altogether. Hempcoin was founded back in 2014 and its sole purpose is to act as a digital currency for the Agriculture/Farming industry and naturally – the Hemp/Marijuana field.
Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements as part of its investment strategy, which may be viewed as a form of borrowing. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio assets for cash concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase those same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that a Fund can recover all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, while a Fund will be able to keep the interest income associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous only if the interest cost to a Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the cost of obtaining the cash otherwise. Opportunities to achieve this advantage may not always be available, and a Fund intends to use the reverse repurchase technique only when it will be to the Fund's advantage to do so. A Fund will segregate with its custodian bank cash or liquid instruments equal in value to the Fund's obligations with respect to reverse repurchase agreements.
The Fund expects to gain exposure to bitcoin futures contracts by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Thus, the Fund, as the sole investor in the subsidiary, will not have all of the protections offered to shareholders of registered investment companies.
It almost seems a plot: the majority of courses barely cover Leverage Trading.

•	A Fund's income from or the proceeds of dispositions of its non-U.S. investments may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries, which will reduce the Fund's return on and taxable distributions in respect of its non-U.S. investments. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate these taxes. If more than 50% of the value of a Fund's total assets at the close of a taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations, the Fund will be eligible to elect to "pass through" to you foreign income taxes that it has paid. If this election is made, you will be required to include your share of those taxes in gross income as a distribution from the Fund and you generally will be allowed to claim a credit (or a deduction, if you itemize deductions) for these amounts on your federal U.S. income tax return, subject to certain limitations.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have evolved from a playful experiment among technical experts to an established and growing branch of the global financial industry. This means that the times in which cryptocurrency traders and investors only concerned themselves with straightforward buying and selling are over. Derivatives are now entering the picture.

Biden Visits Ukraine In Show Of U.S. Support
By Scott Neuman

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Deshchytsia (center) greets Vice President Joe Biden at the airport in Kiev on Monday.
The situation in eastern Ukraine remains on edge Monday, following a weekend of violence that reportedly left up to five pro-Russian separatists dead at the hands of Ukraine nationalists. Moscow has used the killings to press its case that Ukraine's Russian speakers are threatened and to accuse Kiev of not living up to last week's agreement on steps to ease tensions.
Here's some of the latest news from the region:
-- Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Ukraine's capital city, Kiev, on Monday. He was expected to offer energy and economic aid. Reuters says: "Briefing reporters on board Biden's plane, [a senior administration] official said the assistance was made up primarily of technical know-how to help boost energy efficiency as well as production in Ukrainian natural gas fields and extraction of 'unconventional' gas resources."
-- The Washington Post reports that the fiscal situation in Ukraine is so dire that the Ministry of Defense has been forced to appeal to the public for help. "People across the country have responded by pulling together for the Support the Ukrainian army fundraising drive, trying to repair the damage done by years of thieving governments."
-- The New York Times reports that in the eastern city of Slovyansk, police pulled two bodies from the Donetsk River. The man appointed as the "people's mayor" says the bodies were those of pro-Russian separatists. The reports came a day after at least three people were killed in a shootout at a checkpoint outside the city.
-- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused authorities in Ukraine of breaking last week's agreement to resolve the ongoing crisis. "Extremists are calling the tune," Lavrov said of Ukraine nationalists in reference to the fatal shooting near Slovyansk, the BBC reports.
-- Time magazine reports that in the eastern Ukraine city of Donetsk, despite its occupation by pro-Russian separatists, life goes on more or less as usual for residents. "For a city whose government buildings have been taken over by masked gunmen, whose police force has essentially stopped functioning, and whose streets could soon be overrun by the Russian tanks poised to invade from across the nearby border, Donetsk is incredibly calm," the magazine concludes.

Back in April 2010, the World Bank member countries agreed to change its severely criticized governance. This text has never been ratified by the U.S. Congress.
On 03/26/2013 the BRICS countries announced the opening in 2014 of their own development bank, a fund with more than 100 billion USD, which will be able to substitute to the World Bank when appropriate.
In response to the question I asked last 04/19/2013 at the conference#futureecon organized by the IMF, about the possibility of creating a second IMF by the BRICS countries, , the IMF Deputy General Manager M. Min Zhu worried about this eventuality, and the question is no longer taboo. We need to remember that the world has witnessed the use of two simultaneously dominant reserve currencies during the interwar period. The U.S. dollar and British pound were used in almost equal parts, each with their own geographic area of influence. To continue only to forecast a single international monetary system and a single reserve currency is therefore probably a reflex or an intellectual habit.
From the conclusions of their last April and May meetings, G20-Finance, the World Bank, the IMF and the IFMC helped to highlight the strong convergence of international debate and a consensus on three key principles: structural reforms that will manage debt on a sustainable path, deficit reduction over the medium term and reduction of global macroeconomic imbalances. It is explicitly stated the need to restore the resilience of the international economic system.
The IFMC press release specifically indicates a commitment to refrain from competitive devaluations.
We can then define two groups of countries: those who actually enroll in this consensus, and those for whom it is only words since the beginning of the crisis. Factual analysis of the evolution of macroeconomic indicators since 2008 allows us to isolate in one group: the U.S., Japan, and the United Kingdom, and in another group: all others G20 countries. For instance, efforts towards a fiscal convergence within the eurozone are particularly remarkable. The integrated economic government of Euroland, with a president appointed at its head who would be responsible for a tax harmonization among the member countries and to extend the plan against tax evasion is growing each day a little bit more, these days by the official voice of François Hollande who so wishes to occur before 2015.
On the other group, without having to officially using the terms of "competitive devaluation" the weapon of extraordinary monetary policies has already allowed the yen to lose continuously 25% of its value against the dollar, the euro, and the yuan since October 2012. Analysts announce the continuation of this trend throughout 2013.
Therefore what struck us is the failure of the IMF strategic mission of financial supervision, whose official statements endorse the practices of countries that do not play the multilateral game.
The unprecedented political movement created by the creation of a new BRICS development bank, far from appearing as a simple duplication, can be also useful to stimulate diplomatically the progress of this multilateral strategy.
The key question then becomes, in my opinion: is the necessary delay to ensure the success of this strategy allowed? As stated in the introduction of our seminar: "time is running out." We recently published in the Magazine of Political Anticipation an analysis of U.S. foreign and domestic policies going back over a century, and we showed that the policy of military Keynesianism at work in this country led to a strong erosion of democracy, today already at a level where we can anticipate that a significant portion of U.S. citizens in a few years will be forced to follow the path of an open struggle against their federal government. To the international pressure will follow for the U.S. government a rapidly growing domestic pressure.
- First, in the recent and anticipated dramatic shifts in the gold market which revealed the price manipulation through short sales contracts on the COMEX in New York, followed by withdrawal of almost all of the eligible physical gold stocks stored by JPMorgan Chase , one of six bullion banks sharing the gold storage and physical delivery for COMEX futures market.
In two days, 400 t of gold disappeared from the bullion banks . At the same time appears the loss of correlation between the official quotation of gold (that is to say, gold paper quotation) and the physical gold which is now accessible only through the addition of a premium which greatlyincreased , and is highly dependent on local supply. And finally we need to point out the historical record for physical gold imports by Asian countries in the first quarter, including 300 t for China.
- Second, the disclosure is evident in the growing number of leaked lists of thousands of owners of bank accounts in tax havens since 2007 (beginning with the Lichtenstein then Switzerland ), in the investigations that the States including those of the Anglo-Saxon pole are forced to conduct, and finally in the growing regulation of automatic data exchanges from tax havens banks to the fiscal administration in the state of residence.
These unveilings are major factors accelerating the global systemic crisis, in its current phase.
It seems to me therefore essential not to abandon the multilateral strategy to reform the international monetary system, but to quickly add to it another initiative from the Euro-BRICS group. This second initiative draws on the logic currently at work of global geopolitical dislocation, and I call it "Multipolar Strategic Initiative for Resilience". Its purpose is to minimize the effects of currency war, and to complement the use of the many new bilateral swaps.
Our proposition is to develop or create Special Administrative Regions for each country of the Euro-BRICS group. These regions would be dedicated to flows of goods traded by each country of the Euro-BRICS with the United States and Japan, like the existing status for Hong Kong or Macau. The inclusion of the UK in this list of special trade partners could be studied as well, but the process is made much longer and uncertain for the euro zone because of the current European treaties. Possible future voluntary exit from the European Union by the UK would call for study its inclusion in this list.
Euro-BRICS countries would not make any more invoicing or payments for goods selling directly with the United States and Japan. Note that we consider for the moment only flows of physical goods, that is to say, the greater part of the real economy. Import/export flows and re-invoicing would be operated only using transhipment through the Special Administrative Regions (SAR). The idea would be to use in these regions a different currency than the one commonly used in Euro-BRICS countries, in the same way that the Hong-Kong dollar is not the same currency than the yuan or renminbi. Current currencies would remain convertible on the market. These Special Administrative Regions would concentrate the risk of trading with countries with great variations in currency exchange rates. Euro-BRICS countries would be able to regulate at will the rate of exchange between their own currency and the one in force in their own SAR. These SAR would be developed or created around major ports currently used for trade with the USA and Japan. Registering not strictly necessary financial activities (private funds …) in these SAR will be discouraged.
Trade between the Euro-BRICS countries should not be affected by the development of the RAS, and if possible do not pass through them. These areas should be used only to build a "firewall" (like when protecting IT networks) for trade with countries whose observed policies have proven their unwillingness to respect the required governance for an effective multilateral trade dialogue.
However, it is desirable that the Euro-BRICS countries strengthen their abandonment of the dollar as their international invoicing currency for trade between them, including for oil products. The existing agreements should be amended accordingly.
The main advantage of such a "string of pearls" of RAS that would interface with the United States and Japan, in addition to reducing the currency risk thanks to the strict control of the exchange rate with the SAR and to the billing terms that can be optimized, lies in the resilience of the international trade system in case of default of major financial institutions in the United States or Japan. For Euro-BRICS countries, financial defeasance structures (Special Purpose Vehicles…) would be registered in the RAS and systemic risk would be more contained without jeopardizing businesses and public debts of the Euro-BRICS countries.
Finally this initiative can be simply summarized: it is to organize and regulate the interface between the dollar-yen area and the rest of the world. The trade and economic size of the Euro-BRICS countries is sufficient to initiate the successful containment of the systemic risk.
In a second step, one could think about control of capital flows between the Euro-BRICS countries and U.S. / Japan, but it seems to me less of a priority and can be developed independently. The Asian crisis of 97 and the euro crisis have already raised awareness of required significant exchange reserves or alternative mechanism to dampen currency crises or sudden withdrawal of capital by U.S. companies.
The world of tomorrow, but also visible prospects out of the current global crisis depends to a large extent on the qualities of the new international monetary system and first its stability. The Multipolar Strategic Initiative for Resilience is a new step towards a dual international monetary system resilient to global systemic crises. As Deng Xiaoping stated: "One World, a dual system" is the horizon to which we should move forward. And as said Richard Fuller, "to change something we need to build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete". The mere mention of this possibility is already a carried weight argument to improve the effectiveness of the multilateral strategy. This new initiative is a potential source of true political influence for the Euro-BRICS and for a growing synergy by network effect.

How does mascara extend your lashes?
By: Marie Willsey
How does mascara make your eyes pop?
Sean Justice/Getty Images
Ask a woman what makeup item she'd insist on taking to a deserted island, and mascara might be her enthusiastic choice. Many women won't leave the house without applying it -- it's a simple way to emphasize your baby blues -- or browns – whether you're going for a sporty, natural look, or all-out, night-on-the-town maquillage.
Mascara has always been one of the most popular cosmetics, with a history that goes back to ancient Egypt. Originally, it was made into pressed cakes and applied with a dampened brush. Then lotions were developed that eventually came in tubes. The mascara "wand" that we know today wasn't developed until the 1960's; it's now featured in a package complete with a metering ring that scrapes off the excess, so that the brush has the right amount for a perfect application on it.
No matter what brand you choose, this tried-and-true product helps make your lashes look longer, darker and thicker, helping to draw more attention to your eyes. Basic mascara ingredients include pigments for coloring, various waxes, and preservatives. Water-resistant mascaras include solvents to keep your mascara from running in case of contact with water, sweat or tears.
It's an easy and safe process, as mascara simply coats the lashes to make them stand out; different formulas and brushes yield different results. A lengthening or extending formula includes the usual ingredients, plus short synthetic fibers. Made of nylon or rayon, these fibers stick to your natural lashes from the root to the tip when applied, helping to make your lashes look longer. The more you apply, the longer your lashes will appear.
Use a steady hand, a careful touch, and good lighting for best results; it's very easy to apply too much lengthening mascara and end up with a clumpy or overly thick appearance.
Mascaras made especially for lengthening lashes can be found at a variety of price points, ranging between Maybelline's New York Lash Stiletto, around $9 in drugstores, to Laura Mercier's Long Lash Mascara at $24.

Budding artists from Whalley Primary School saw their work hanging alongside famous names at a special exhibition. The event was a culmination of a four month art project which began with a visit to the gallery. Each of the 30 pupils produced one piece of art work, in a variety of mediums, which were judged by well- known Lancashire artist John Thompson. To reward the children for their hard work each entry was individually framed by Chris McCabe and then a special exhibition held so that parents and teachers could see the work hanging in a real gallery.
"We were absolutely delighted to be told we had won and that the prize was one of Elaine's paintings, which she presented to us. A fantastic way of adding to our collection" Sandra & Harry Marshall
A collection of works by David Mellor, Elaine Cooper, Todd White and Geoffrey Key were exhibited at our annual Christmas exhibition. Elaine used the pre-view evening to introduce a more contemporary slant on her popular theme of crooked houses and shops, using stronger and more vibrant colours. Sandra and Harry Marshall, already avid collectors of Elaine's work, were the lucky recipients of an Elaine Cooper original on the evening.


A web page containing information on martyrs and where they are buried will be launched on July 26.
The website, thongtinlietsi.gov.vn has been designed by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and Vietnam Post.
Relatives and comrades can supply additional information about fallen soldiers which will be added to the site.
The portal would help people to find their relatives more quickly, said Dao Ngoc Dung, MOLISA Minister.
The website provides a list of martyrs' cemeteries nationwide, maps, an overview image of the cemeteries, and details of the graves.
Minister Dung said the portal is only the first step. Local MOLISA agencies need to cooperate with Vietnam Post to review the information, note any data changes and update images. Authorities also needed to continue examining DNA to establish identities.
Vietnam Post said that 836,700 martyrs' graves over three thousand cemeteries had been documented, with almost 2.6 million images.
According to the ministry, there are still over 200,000 unidentified bodies and over 300,000 bodies with insufficient information relating to them.

Autumn is a time of frantic industriousness....a rush of preparation for winter.
and everything has flourished in abundance, especially the weeds!
In the garden my cosmos, which I have grown for the very first time, are attracting the bees.
Their buzzing is incessant and their busyness admirable.
lull us into thinking we are doing what we should be when we're not.
that just maybe we are letting slip by, or choosing to ignore.
Wise words. Really makes a person consider the time!
Yes Sandi...I sometimes wonder where it goes and the pace just seems to be picking up.
Time for a bit of slow!
I hear you on the delusion of busyiness. Guilty. Often. And am yearning to get back into the garden when my rotten hip allows it. Which is almost certainly an avoidance of other things I 'should' be doing. Sobeit.
Oh poor you, I do hope your hip allows you back into your garden soon, nothing more frustrating. Yes, we're all guilty of avoidance aren't we!
Jane it is glorious to see the cosmos and the bees as you work into autumn now....we are gearing up for spring and the flowers and bees return!
Yes Donna, it's lovely to think of us all at different stages of the cycle, and great to be able to pop over and take a look at your spring with the click of a button!
It is lovely to see your cosmos doing so well and attracting the bees. You're right about not rushing through life, it's so worthwhile to appreciate the beauty of every season.
The bees have certainly been having a wonderful time on the cosmos, though it is just about over now, and I need to get down to a fair bit of digging.
It's so nice to see you back here. The light from your cosmos is gorgeous. Thank you fro this beautiful post. Enjoy autumn lights.
Thank you Amélie, it's good to be back. Yes, Autumn has a different look and feel doesn't it. Certainly chilly evenings now.
So very true, discerning the important over the urgent - always a challenge. Beautiful photos Jane.
Thank you so much Karen. It's getting chilly here now isn't it....autumn closing in to winter. My cosmos are now on the compost heap!
Beautiful photos Jane and wonderful words too. Bees have a wonderful way of causing me to stop and listen.
Hovering there for you to click.
That's exactly right Haddock! Just going about their business.
Oh it's lovely to see you back, Jane, and with glorious, heart-swelling photos! I adore bees, but since I started blogging, they've also become a metaphor for how I feel about blogging and life itself. All the bloggers I know are like bees, visiting - and cross-pollenating - a variety of lovely places, attracted by what resonates and drawn to the folk whose company they simply delight in. Without genuine connection, none of us thrives. So glad you're back!
Thank you so much Janice! I love your thoughts on blogger bees. So true. This little bee has been busy at home and it's time she goes visiting again.


First-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors provide a significant clinical benefit for patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC. However, most patients ultimately develop disease progression, driven by the acquisition of a second T790M EGFR TKI resistance mutation.
Osimertinib (AZD9291) is an irreversible third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor of both EGFRm-sensitizing and T790M resistance mutants.
Bevacizumab is a humanized antibody targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF, which plays an important role in tumour angiogenesis.
A combination treatment that target both tumour cells and tumour microenvironment (such as angiogenesis) may be a promising strategy for further improving efficacy outcomes in patients with EGFRm (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R) NSCLC following progression on EGFR TKI therapy and other lines of therapy.
The aim of the BOOSTER trial is to assess the efficacy of osimertinib plus bevacizumab versus osimertinib alone for patients with locally advanced or metastatic (stage IIIb-IVb) EGFRm NSCLC with a T790M resistance mutation at progression on prior EGFR TKI therapy.

Temporary foreign workers program reforms include restrictions based on local unemployment rate
Employers in places with high unemployment won't be allowed to apply for temporary foreign workers in the lowest wage and skill groups in the accommodation, food service and retail sectors
OTTAWA — The Conservative government's controversial temporary foreign worker program got another makeover Friday with limits on where low-paid hires can work and strict penalties for companies that fudge their requests for cheap help.
[np_storybar title="Key changes to the Temporary Foreign Workers program:" link=""]
— Employers in the accommodation, food and retail sectors in areas where unemployment is above six per cent will not be allowed to bring in temporary foreign workers for low-skill jobs.
— Employers with 10 or more employees will face a cap on the number of low-wage foreigners they can hire at each of their worksites: 30% of a worksite's employees, falling to 10% by July 2016.
— Employers seeking to hire a temporary foreign worker must detail how many Canadians applied for the job, how many were interviewed and why the Canadians were not hired.
— Employers will be required to re-apply every year for approval to hire low-wage temporary foreign workers, instead of every two years.
— Employers seeking to hire high-wage temporary foreign workers must show an increased effort to hire Canadians, including through higher wages, investments in training and more active recruitment within Canada.
— The government will post the number of temporary foreign workers approved every quarter, along with the names of companies that hire them.
— Enforcement will be increased so that one in four employers using temporary foreign workers will be inspected each year.
— The fee to bring in a temporary foreign worker increases to $1,000 from $275.
— Starting this fall, employers who break the program rules will face fines of up to $100,000.
— An end to the freeze on hiring temporary foreign workers in the food-services sector.
[/np_storybar]
But no sooner had Employment Minister Jason Kenney and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander unveiled the new-look program than it was denounced by critics who fear it could force some employers to close or cut back hours.
During a marathon news conference in Ottawa, Kenney acknowledged there will be "adjustment costs" as a result of the reforms.
"Yes, undoubtedly, there will be some businesses in that sector that end up paring back their operating hours," he said. "That we fully anticipate."
Groups representing employers, employees and immigrants alike lined up to express their disdain for the changes.
"Today's announcement does nothing to change a system that still allows irresponsible employers to exploit workers with impunity," Paul Meinema of United Food and Commercial Workers Canada said in a statement.
"The Harper Conservatives are only now acknowledging problems with this file because of a number of irresponsible employers."
Chris Ramsaroop of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change said the new program will do little to end the exploitation of immigrants who do menial, undesirable work in Canada for unjust wages.
"Migrant workers are still employed under an indentured system where they work without voice, without rights and without protections."
None of that kept Kenney and Alexander, elbow-to-elbow at Friday's news conference, from billing the changes as a badly needed "overhaul" to ensure temporary foreign workers are brought to Canada as a "last and limited resort."
The changes prevent employers in places with high unemployment rates from applying for temporary foreign workers in the lowest wage and skill groups in the accommodation, food service and retail sectors.
A cap is also being placed on the number of low-wage temporary foreign workers an employer can hire at each worksite: 30% of a worksite's employees starting immediately, dropping to 10% by July 2016.
Companies will also be required to re-apply each year to hire low-wage temporary foreign workers, instead of every two years. They'll pay more for the privilege, too: $1,000 per employee, up from $275.
The added cost will go towards the extra $14 million it is expected to cost Statistics Canada to gather new, more accurate data on jobs and wages.
The changes will significantly reduce the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada and improve labour market information, all the while strengthening enforcement and penalties, Kenney said.
"We'll severely sanction those who break the rules."
The government also says it will post the number of temporary foreign workers approved every quarter, along with the names of companies that get the green light to hire them, in an effort to enhance accountability.
Employers who hire temporary foreign workers must promise not to lay off any Canadian workers or cut their hours, and they must tell the government how many Canadians applied and were interviewed for jobs, along with why they were not hired, Kenney said.
"We'll ensure employers re-double their efforts to hire Canadians."
The program will now be based on provincial wage levels instead of the government's national occupational classifications. Low wages are defined as anything below the provincial median; high wages are anything above it.
The amount of time a low-wage temporary foreign worker can work in Canada is being reduced to a cumulative total of two years from four years.
The government is also lifting its freeze on hiring temporary foreign workers in the food-services sector, imposed in April at the height of complaints that the program was being abused by restaurants and keeping jobs from Canadian workers.
The government had promised to begin inspections of those employers that use temporary foreign workers, but the government's response to a request for documents indicates those inspections have yet to begin.
The Canadian Press made a request under the Access to Information Act for all inspection reports of workplaces that employ temporary foreign workers. But in a letter dated June 2, Employment and Social Development Canada said none have been carried out.
The temporary foreign workers program has become a hot potato for the Harper government ever since stories of abuses came to light in the news media, including one case where Royal Bank employees were asked to train foreign workers to take over their jobs.
In February, 65 Alberta ironworkers alleged they were let go so that foreign workers could replace them.
Canadian firms are using the program more and more to fill both high- and low-skilled positions, despite relatively high levels of unemployment and data showing that the ratio of unemployed to job vacancies is rising.
A recent government calculation estimated there were 386,000 temporary foreign workers in Canada, or about 2% of the labour force, up from about 100,000 in 2002.

The role of osteopontin and osteopontin aptamer (OPN-R3) in fibroblast activity.
BACKGROUND: Scarring is believed to be caused by both persistent inflammation and overexuberant fibroblast activation. Osteopontin (OPN) is a cytokine that promotes cell activation. The absence of OPN in vivo reduces dermal scarring. This suggests that OPN is involved in scar formation; however, how OPN exerts these pro-scarring effects is unknown. RNA aptamers are short RNA molecules that bind target proteins with high affinity. The aptamer OPN-R3 (R3) blocks OPN signaling. The role of R3 in preventing dermal fibrosis is unknown. METHODS: Fibroblast migration was analyzed with the use of Boyden Chambers and HEMA-3 staining. Inverted confocal microscopy was used to assess fibroblast focal adhesion length. Adhesion was measured by incubating fluorescently stained fibroblasts on OPN coated 96-well plates. CellTiter 96 AQueous non-radioactive cell proliferation assay was utilized to investigate the proliferative activity of fibroblasts. Free floating collagen lattices were utilized to assess fibroblast contractility. RESULTS: Human dermal fibroblasts migrated significantly in response to OPN. OPN did not induce a significant increase in focal adhesion length compared with controls. Adhesion studies demonstrated that OPN increased fibroblast adhesion. Proliferation assays indicate that OPN increased fibroblast growth. OPN increased fibroblast contractility of collagen lattices. The addition of R3 significantly inhibited OPN-induced activity. CONCLUSION: OPN is associated with scar and exerts pro-scarring effects by increasing cellular migration, adhesion, proliferation, and contractility of human dermal fibroblasts. R3 prevents OPN mediated activity. OPN may be useful for promoting closure of non-healing wounds and the OPN specific aptamer, R3, may be useful for preventing fibrosis.

Nestled in a by-lane in Colaba and having some serious competition with the outlets of its neighbour, The Taj Mahal Palace, Indigo continues to delight us with their gastronomical masterpieces. If you ask me, the one thing that sets them a class apart is their constant endeavor to keep reinventing their menu. It's never the same and it keeps changing only for the better.
They recently celebrated their 17th anniversary. Here's our review of their anniversary brunch.
Indigo has always got it right when it comes to understanding their clientele. They've seen an evolution in the palate of their Indian guests and have explored ingredients and combinations to put forth the most authentic and innovative dishes like the Risotto of sago pearls, lentils, caramel shallots & coconut or the Cannelloni of maple roasted pumpkin, hazelnut fondue and spiced hazelnut.
It is this authenticity that I look forward to every time they come out with a new menu for I know it's going to get even better. So when I was invited to try Executive Chef Jaydeep Mukherjee's (fondly called JD) new Signature Menu where his creative genius looked at pairing the likes of global and local ingredients to bring about culinary masterpieces; it was an invitation I could not turn down. Chef JD has been with Indigo since 2002 and his mantra is simple "comfort food with a whole lot of heart and twists".
For soups I went with Chef's recommendation and tried the Fruits de mer (INR 685). It's literal translation meaning Fruits of the Sea. Fruits in this case being lobsters, clams, scallops, prawns and mussels with a combination of tomato broth, lemon curd and champagne salt. The highlight was the smoked thyme injected into the soup and then trapped under a glass lid which when uncovered and served, let out a strong aroma of thyme and light spices. The thyme paired very well with the tomato broth and added a slightly pungent yet warm flavour to the soup.
My partner tried the Charred Cauliflower Cream Soup (INR 545); cauliflower charred by cooking in a tandoor to get that nice charred taste and laid on a base of mini savory parmesan pana cotta infused with truffle oil and granola. The soup was rich and creamy and the charred flavour added a nice touch to it.
Next up, we tried the Tomato Brioche Pudding, Cherry Tomato and Shallot Confit, Chevre Mousse with Pomegranate Vinegar (INR 735). Inspired by your normal bread and butter pudding with a confit of cherry tomatoes, the pudding was sliced in half and a mix of chevre cheese piped into it and finally baked and laid out on a base of pomegranate vinegar. Again, very good pairing of all ingredients to bring out the best in all flavors.
For mains we went with the Slow Roasted Kid Lamb, Toasted Almond Vermicelli, Tandoori Cauliflower, Plum Ginger Jus (INR 1400). The leg of the lamb is braised for over six hours and when the meat is dropping from the bone (kinda' like pulled lamb) it is coated with breadcrumbs and slow roasted. The lamb was accompanied by toasted almond vermicelli and cauliflower tempura. I loved the way Chef experimented with our regular local ingredient vermicelli (semiya) to bring about an innovative masterpiece altogether. One of the best dishes of the evening!
The Tandoor Roasted Lemon Mustard King Prawns, Coconut Rice Pudding, Kairi Curry, Onion Chutney (INR 1800) was another dish I really enjoyed but sadly could not get through the dish as I was pretty much stuffed by then. Those who don't like mustard quite that much may not like this dish as the flavour is quite strong.
And now for the highlight of the evening… Dessert! Something I definitely did squeeze in room for. We tried the Flexi Callebaut Milk Chocolate and Popcorn Ice Cream (INR 585), and the Warm Sweet Corn Cake and Spiced Strawberry Puree (INR 585). Both sure-fire winners!
The Callebaut milk chocolate cake is made using a little bit of extra gelatin to add to the elasticity and then twisted to an infinity symbol. Served with popcorn ice-cream and caramelized popcorn on the side; the sweetness, crunch and melt-in-your mouth goodness was an amalgamation of senses. The warm sweet corn cake on the other hand is made using your regular American corn. It was accompanied with basil and lemongrass ice cream that complemented the cake very well. The spiced strawberry puree with a hint of green chilies balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the cake.
So does Indigo's new Signature Menu live up to its expectations?
Yes! Definitely, do give it a try as Chef's creative use of global and local ingredients brings about a different experience altogether. I for one am going to start making my vermicelli differently from today.
Chef's pairing of Indian and European cuisine is a multi-sensorial experience you won't forget any time soon. There are several strong stand alone flavors like the fennel in the lobster or the mustard in the prawns; so if you are one who dislikes strong flavors it's best you let Chef know your preferences. Otherwise, the new menu delights and Indigo definitely knows how to stay in the competition.

Canary Wharf gets its own Internet of Things
Investing more than £300,000 to become the "smartest city in Europe".
Canary Wharf Group (CWG) is investing £300,000 in six start-ups for a new accelerator programme as it looks to make the financial district's infrastructure more intelligent.
The group this week launched the Cognicity project in efforts to find the best Internet of Things technologies across six key sectors: transport, smart home, virtual design, construction, integrated resource management and building management.
Following a selection process, six start-up finalists will compete in each sector for a £50,000 prize next year.
Applications are now open for the first two themed challenges, transport and construction, with the programmes kicking off in January 2015.
"We're looking for things that will make the building that we create and our existing buildings more efficient. Ideas that save energy, water and money," said Eric van der Kleij head of Level 39, CWG's tech accelerator group.
He also pointed to ideas around value added services that could range from personalised climate control and smarter lifts and escalators.
"Every single thing, whether it be door handles or street lamps that goes into building can be re-imagined…Every component of what we do could be done better, re-imagined and more connected," he said.
Each finalist will receive a dedicated office space around Level 39 and training over 12 weeks to develop their ideas.
"How to quantify the how much that's worth is the difference between success and failure for some businesses," he said
They will also get access to a mentor panel that includes Canary Wharf executives and industry experts in each sector.
"Companies like Intel are already doing activities with some of our start-ups at Level 39 and so they're already engaged and have already started and already sponsoring various programmes of engagements with our start-ups, so you would expect to see more companies like that helping out," he said.
Following the trial period, a panel will select the winning company that will receive the £50,000 investment and the chance to trial its technology in Canary Wharf.
When asked about the overall cost of the scheme, he said: "It is difficult to quantify the overall cost. But the way we look at it is regardless of what that actually costs us, just one innovation could could pay for it 10 times over.
"So it's the right thing for us to do, to invest in finding the best innovations that will make us the smartest city in Europe."

Building Information Modelling, or BIM, is a relatively recent innovation that has transformed the construction industry. BIM is a term used to describe the process of creating and managing information on a construction project across that project's lifecycle. Experts apply it to the construction of new buildings and structures, with the life cycle spanning everything from conception to demolition.
Elements such as 3D scanning, can help record, uphold, and preserve older existing buildings. It might be a modern technique, but it's helping to maintain important structures from the past.
3D scanning uses lasers aimed at various points of a building, structure or site. These lasers, which pulse thousands of times per second, give incredibly exact measurements between points, creating a 3D collection of XYZ coordinates known as a point cloud.
The point cloud represents the raw data of a survey, but specialist software can convert this data into comprehensive 3D site models. These can aid in the design and construction process to help plan the details of a new structure. In the fields of restoration and heritage, they can also record spatial and physical information about a building or help conservationists pinpoint issues and find solutions.
3D scanners used on the ground may be either fixed (tripod-mounted) or handheld. In architectural projects, airborne scanning can take place from an aircraft. This is known as Light Detection and Ranging, or LIDAR.
Digital preservation is a new concept in heritage and archaeological disciplines. It uses 3D scanning in conjunction with digital film and photography to build a complete representation of a site or structure. This allows archaeologists not only to view the site as it is but also to digitally reconstruct how it would have looked hundreds or thousands of years ago.
CyArk is a non-profit organization aiming to create a comprehensive digital record of the world's historic sites. It has already utilized laser scanning to survey sites such as Mount Rushmore, the medieval St Sebaldus Church in Germany, and the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza in Mexico.
She continued: "Once you have that information, you can do all sorts of things with it. You can slice through the building, create a video animation, bring parts of that data into a CAD design program for drawings and manipulations, develop virtual tours, make highly accurate models."
The Castle of Coatfrec in Brittany is another site that involves digital archaeology, but in this case, digital scans also helped in the physical restoration process. A combination of 3D scanning, modeling, and analysis charted the structures that were still standing and used these to judge their structural and physical relationships to now-absent elements.
Historic England (formerly known as English Heritage) has also started to make extensive use of laser scanning. As with CyArk, the organization uses digital scans to archive and increase understanding of historical sites and said that this can be particularly useful "where a feature, structure or site might be lost or changed forever, such as in an archaeological excavation or for at a site at risk".
It also said that 3D scanning can work in physical conservation and restoration programs, helping to check structural and physical conditions and analyzing the effects of weather, pollution, footfall or vandalism. This allows conservationists to put relevant measures in place and involves making replicas of areas or items using digital information. These replicas can be viewed in place of the original artifacts or set within a structure as part of the restoration process.
It's no secret that 3D scanning has a large part to play in the design of new buildings. It can even help them become more sustainable moving forward. With a wide variety of applications, including preserving and recreating structures from the past, it's safe to say that technologies like 3D scanning will continue to be utilized and built upon over time.

Little Rock Black Seventh-day Adventist Church
A Brief History of Little Rock, Arkansas
Little Rock Black Church Organized in 1912

A Seventh-day Adventist black church was organized in Little Rock with eight members on Sabbath, July 27, 1912, following a ten-day camp meeting. The organization meeting was held in a tent and presided over by Pastor J. W. Norwood, President of the Arkansas Conference (Spring, 1912). For many years this was known as the Little Rock Church No. 2. In 1942, the church building underwent some extensive remodeling. The auditorium was enlarged, new windows were added, a new roof was put on and a new coat of paint applied (Record, 1942). In 1946, it was voted that the term "Colored" be used in church names in place of the No. 2 designation, so this became the Little Rock Colored church (Minutes, 1946).
A New Church in 1957
In 1957, this faith-filled congregation under the leadership of the district pastor, M. M. Young, constructed a beautiful new church building which was planned for service to the entire community. The building was constructed of red brick, and would seat two hundred people. There were also adequate facilities for a church school, Health and Welfare Center, recreation hall and a kitchen (Young, 1957).
Young Church Leader
Terrence James Roberts, a sixteen year old young man, was a member of the Little Rock Colored church and led the music for the services (Young, 1957). As a result of the subsequent closing of Little Rock's high schools during the 1958-1959 school year, Roberts moved to Los Angeles, California, and lived with relatives (Roberts, 2009). There, Roberts completed his senior year at Los Angeles High School.

The Little Rock Nine
Terrence J. Roberts (1941-) was one of the legendary "Little Rock Nine" who dealt a decisive blow to racial segregationism by attending Little Rock's Central High on September 23, 1957. He is currently Principal of the management-consulting firm, Terrence Roberts Consulting (Consulting, 2013).
