I went to my doctor two weeks ago. I am really bad about going to her unless I am having a problem of some sort, so when I got there, she wanted to ask how I was doing. That meant I had to cover about a year and a half or so in 5 minutes. Of course, as soon as I told her I had become a vegan, she immediately asked me even more questions. I didn't think too much of it, I guess, but later, when she suggested me having a total blood test done, I got a little upset. I assume that when a meat-eater goes to the doctor, she isn't bombarded with intrusive questions and subjected to a 4-vial blood draw. But I could be wrong. And all that came out of it was that I was slightly anemic. Ha! It's kind of a genetic flaw, and everyone else in my family eats meat, so I guess that my diet isn't the culprit. But it's still a disappointment - I would have loved leaving there with the absolutely knowledge that my diet is just as if not incredibly more healthy than the normal American's.
I went to Spokane for business last week and had the opportunity to dine at Mizuna's. It was delicious. It started as a vegetarian restaurant, and I guess they couldn't survive on that alone (it is Spokane, after all), and they now offer two menus, one for meat-eaters and one for vegetarians and vegans. They stress that their food is not cooked on the same surface, so a vegan can be truly reassured that she is not going to accidentally ingest any animal products. I ate waaay too much food, but it was so delicious that I really couldn't help it.

Browns: What's new with Hue? Cody Kessler update
Aug 30, 2016 at 5:20 PM Aug 30, 2016 at 6:12 PM
What's new with Hue? The top three takes from the Browns head coach heading into Thursday's preseason finale.
WHAT'S NEW WITH HUE?
The top three items covered by Hue Jackson Tuesday heading into Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.
1, While fourth-round pick Dak Prescott has emerged as the starting quarterback in Dallas, Browns third-round pick Cody Kessler has retreated into the shadows behind Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown. Where does he stand in the eyes of the chiefs?
Jackson: "He was 5-for-6 at Tampa Bay. He had a good completion the week before. We know he knows how to complete the ball. It is just running our offense and understanding where the ball is going, understanding just how fast the NFL is, and how things change and how defenses work.
"He needs to get the experience, and he will get an opportunity to play and probably play longer than he has. That will be important for him."
2, Did Andy Lee get the boot, via a trade to Carolina, partly because he stood lifelessly watching a Buccaneer return one of his punts for a touchdown?
Jackson: "(Laughing) I can guarantee that wasn't it. I totally support our team as far as making those decisions. It is probably unheard of to get a fourth-round pick in that situation ...
"Obviously, I was disappointed in (Lee giving up), and I told him so."
3, Rosters must be cut to 53 by 4 p.m. Saturday. The Browns are likely to keep five wide receivers from a group including four rookie draft picks, Terrelle Pryor, Andrew Hawkins, Taylor Gabriel, Marlon Moore and Darius Jennings. Josh Gordon will be squeezed in when his four-game suspension ends.
Jackson: "I'm sure myself and Sashi (Brown) and Paul (DePodesta) and Andrew (Berry) will have that conversation here pretty soon. There are some very talented young men in that room, and obviously, all of them can't stay, so someone is going to get some really good players."

Frothy Innovation: La Colombe Launches Canned "Draft Latte"
Ray Latif Mar. 4, 2016 at 6:14 pm
Third-wave coffee company La Colombe has introduced its second ready-to drink beverage, a can-packaged "draft latte." The beverage, a blend of espresso, milk and sugar that is infused with nitrous oxide, was designed to replicate the same frothy drinking experience as offered by the popular draft-poured lattes that La Colombe serves in its cafes.
La Colombe partnered with Crown Holdings to create the innovative package, dubbed the "InnoValve" can. Liquid gas is injected into the can through a valve at the bottom and expands when the can is opened, creating tiny bubbles that create a frothy texture.
CEO and co-founder Todd Carmichael said that despite the complex process of development and the can's patent-pending technology, he views the beverage itself as a simple, yet premium, blend of coffee and milk that can appeal to a broad spectrum of consumers.
"I come from this world of third-wave coffee, where a great deal of time is spent in really overburdening the consumer with education," Carmichael said. "It's milk and coffee, which really isn't a specialty thing at all. It feels special."
The beverage has 120 calories and 14 grams of sugar (2 grams are added cane sugar, the rest is derived from the milk) per 9 oz. can, does not require refrigeration and has a shelf life of 180 days.
La Colombe's draft latte is produced in two locations: a company-owned facility in Philadelphia and a manufacturing plant in Missouri operated by dairy cooperative Dairy Farmers of America (DFA). While Carmichael views it as critical to have control over the production process, he said current capacity at the company's facility is not enough to satisfy sales projections. With DFA production scheduled to begin in July, the contract will enable La Colombe to produce 50 million cans through the end of 2016, and Carmichael hopes to increase volume to 250 million cans next year.
While La Colombe, which also markets a cold brew coffee packaged in 12 oz. bottles, has yet to announce retail partners for the latte, Carmichael said that several large grocery chains have shown significant interest in the product.
"We have forecasts and promises," he said. "We have retailers who are interested in getting their allocation."
The draft lattes are currently available online on La Colombe's website where they are available in 4-pack for $10.00. The pack will be available for purchase in the coming weeks in select La Colombe cafés in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. La Colombe expects single serve cans to be widely available in July with a retail price of $2.79-2.99.

Taste Radio Insider: The One Surprising Question Most Entrepreneurs Don't Ask Themselves


The Canadian Football League Draft has long been both a vital roster-building component and somewhat of a strange animal for general managers across this grand ol' circuit.
First, the basics: dating back to the first nationwide draft in 1956, CFL teams have used their selections to grab Canadian talent as a vital component in a league which mandates half of the roster must be stockpiled with homegrowns. And study the lineup of any Grey Cup squad or contender and there are always Canadians providing a sturdy foundation.
First, the ever-improving quality of U Sports players and the continuing migration of Canadians to the NCAA means more and more National Football League teams are drafting and signing players from up north. That often results in some of the best prospects never even playing a down professionally in their home country, including University of Manitoba product David Onyematta (New Orleans Saints), Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (Kansas City Chiefs), Tyrone Crawford (Dallas Cowboys), Brett Jones (Minnesota Vikings), Brett Urban (Baltimore Ravens) and Christian Covington (Houston Texans), among others.
Second, the separate quarterback designation that deems them neither American or Canadian means that, unlike the NFL, Canadian quarterbacks are neither in high demand or seldom drafted whatsoever – despite the position being the most important on the field.
Consider this, as proof: in the last 19 drafts dating back to 2000, just nine quarterbacks were selected, with Jesse Palmer – selected 15th overall by Montreal in 2001 – the highest pick. Only three of those quarterbacks have taken snaps in the CFL – Brandon Bridge, now in Toronto, Andrew Buckley, who has retired after playing with Calgary primarily as their third-string/short-yardage QB, and Brad Sinopoli, who was converted to receiver by the Stampeders and is currently the league's reigning Most Outstanding Canadian.
Another somewhat quirky fact, at least as it relates to the Bombers, is while the draft has been critical in franchise success, it isn't the only method to unearthing Canadians. Consider that future hall of famer Andrew Harris was acquired via free agency, while other Bomber Canadian legends – all of them in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame – like Chris Walby, Joe Poplawski, Miles Gorrell, Doug Brown and Bob Cameron – were all landed via trade or also through free agency. Gerry James, the first player to win the CFL's top Canadian, was signed while just 17 and in high school in the days before the draft.
We bring all this up today as a bit of a refresher and as an introduction into a series on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the draft that will run each weekend leading up to the 2019 version, on May 2nd.
The Bombers have two picks in the first round in this year's draft – fourth and fifth overall – five selections in the Top 32 and nine in total over eight rounds in what is being billed as a solid and deep class.
This intro piece will look at some of the historical numbers behind the Bombers draft selections dating back to 1956, as well as some other facts and stats.
Following that, we'll look at the club's draft history under GM Kyle Walters (April 12), and then a look at the squad's current crop of Canadians and how they were acquired (April 19) with the final piece looking at the team's Canadian roster options and flexibility (April 26).
The Bombers have made 394 draft, territorial exemption and supplemental picks dating back to 1956. In fact, the Bombers have drafted 393 players over that span, after selecting University of Saskatchewan fullback Brian Hammerton twice – 12thoverall in 1964 and then 21st overall a year later. In those days, players who opted to return to school had to be drafted again, whereas today CFL teams maintain their rights.
That's the number of defensive linemen – tackles and ends – the Bombers have selected dating back to 1956, more than any other position.
The Bombers have mined the talent in their own back yard more than any other area in this country or continent. The club has selected 62 players from the University of Manitoba Bisons program, the first being halfback John Shanski in 1963 and the last current O-lineman Geoff Gray, selected 8th overall in 2017.
Interestingly, two Bombers draft picks are now CEOs of CFL franchises.
Bombers President and CEO Wade Miller was a fourth-round selection of the club in 1995 and became the front man for the franchise in August of 2013.
Scott Mitchell, meanwhile, was appointed the Hamilton Tiger-Cats CEO in 2007. He was selected by the Bombers in the sixth round of the 1994 draft after leading the University of Toronto to a Vanier Cup championship in 1993 – the school's first title in over 30 years.
The first 13 draft picks in Bombers history over a span from 1956-63 hailed from Ontario and Quebec – Toronto (5); McGill (4); Western (3); Queen's (1) – before Manitoba's John Shanski was taken 18th overall in 1963.
Running back Glen Perrin of Bemidji State, a territorial exemption pick in 1974, was the first player selected from an American school.
On this day, Bob Molle captured the silver medal in the Men's Freestyle +100 kg event at the 1984 Summer Olympics in at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The following spring, in 1985, the Bombers made Molle – then a defensive lineman from Simon Fraser – their first-round selection, ninth overall.
Molle would be converted from D-line to guard and was then part of two Grey Cup championship teams in 1988 and 1990, making him the only athlete to have both an Olympic medal and Grey Cup ring.
Taylor Loffler didn't open the 2016 season as the Bombers starting safety, but had taken over the role by mid-summer. Loffler, who signed a free agent deal with the Montreal Alouettes this winter, was named to the CFL All-Star team as a rookie in 2016, becoming just the fourth player straight out of college in league history to be selected to that squad.
The others: Paul Bennett (1977, with Toronto), Joe Poplawski (1978 with Winnipeg) and Laurent Deslauriers (1984, with Edmonton).
Pierre-Luc Labbé had put up some spectacular numbers at the Université de Sherbrooke during his college days. He was a three-time RSEQ (Quebec conference) all-star, the league's top defensive player in 2005 and its leading tackler in 2007. But in the 2008 season, Labbé saw his draft stock fall considerably and was the second-last player selected, 47th overall.
Using that as self-motivation, Labbé then opted to wear jersey number 47 over what was a solid six-year career with the Bombers.
There are seven Bombers draft picks in the team's history who have been inducted into the Winnipeg Football Club Hall of Fame. They are: Rick House (drafted 1979, inducted in 1995), Stan Mikawos (1982/2000), David Black (1984/2004), Bob Molle (1985/2016), Darryl Sampson (1986/2004), Troy Westwood (1991/2011) and Wade Miller (1995/2011).

U.S. Responds to Missile Attacks, Targets 3 Radar Sites On Yemen's Coast
(Source: U.S. Department of Defence; issued October 13, 2016)
WASHINGTON --- The United States yesterday conducted sea-launched cruise missile strikes against three radar sites on Yemen's Red Sea coast, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook told reporters in a news briefing today.
"These strikes were in response to attempted missile attacks in recent days against USS Mason and other vessels in the Red Sea and Bab el Mandeb," Cook said.
Cook said the U.S. strikes were launched from the USS Nitze, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer operating in the Gulf of Aden.
Defending Freedom of Navigation
"These targets were chosen based on our assessment that they were involved in missile launches in recent days, and they were struck in order to defend our ships and their crews and to protect freedom of navigation through a waterway that is vitally important to international commerce," Cook said.
The press secretary emphasized two points: the strikes were in response to a threat to U.S. vessels and to freedom of navigation, a core U.S. security interest. Secondly, "that those who might threaten U.S. forces should recognize that we will not tolerate threats to our people."
The strikes were not connected to the broader conflict in Yemen, Cook said, adding, "The United States continues to encourage all parties in the Yemen conflict to commit to a cessation of hostilities and to seek a political solution to that conflict."
More than four million barrels of oil pass through the Bab el Mandeb each day, he noted.
"This narrow passage is a vital link connecting Asia and Europe," Cook said. "Safe navigation through the strait is vitally important to economies in the region and to global commerce."
Those who threaten American forces should realize the United States doesn't "tolerate threats to our people," Cook said.
"We will respond if our forces come under fire," the press secretary said. "We have taken swift action in this case, and should we see a repeat, we are prepared to take appropriate action at the appropriate time."
Hurricane Matthew Update
Cook also provided an update about the department's response to Hurricane Matthew.
The impact of the storm is still being felt in the southeast, he said, roughly 21,000 residents are in shelters, more than two million are without power, and "rivers are still rising between five to 12 feet [above flood stage]."
The department is coordinating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency on possible debris management plans and temporary roofing assistance, he said.
"About 5,500 National Guard soldiers and airmen have transitioned to supporting flood relief efforts," Cook said.
Cook noted that North Carolina has a "significant military population" and that military installations are being directly affected.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who have been affected by the storm," he said.

U.S. Charges That Iran Supplied Yemeni Rebels with Missiles Aimed At US Ship
(Source: Radio Free Europe; issued Oct 14, 2016)
Top U.S. officials are charging that Iran supplied Yemeni rebels with the missiles that were aimed at a U.S. Navy warship in several attacks this week.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, who was briefed by the Pentagon on the three failed missile attacks on the USS Mason destroyer, said on October 13 that Iran likely provided the missiles.
McCain endorsed the Pentagon's move to retaliate by launching cruise missiles that destroyed mobile radar sites used by the Huthis to launch their missiles, which were believed to be C-802 anti-ship weapons.
"The United States Navy has delivered a strong message" that it won't tolerate such aggression, McCain said.
U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby also said this week that the missiles were "provided by Iran to the Huthi rebels," although he said it was also possible the Huthis captured some missiles from the Yemeni government army.
Iran has been openly allied with the Shi'ite Huthis, but denies arming them. Still, Iran sent two warships to the gulf off the coast of Yemen after the United States struck back at the Huthi radar sites.
Iran said the move was to "protect trade vessels from piracy."

The Nusa Tenggara Islands save a million natural views. Geographically, the islands of Nusa Tenggara are to the east of Sumbawa Island. Between these two islands, is separated by the Sape Strait.
Among the many islands in the Nusa Tenggara Islands, there is an interesting island for us to visit, called Komodo Island. This island is included in the Komodo National Park area. What's interesting? Here's the information.
As the name implies, Komodo Island is an island that is also a habitat for step animals in this country. Its existence is increasingly shrinking.
Certainly exciting if we can see directly the life of animals protected by the country. Not only on Komodo Island, Komodo habitat is also on the island adjacent to it. Like on Rinca Island.
On the island, tourists can freely see and observe the daily patterns of Komodo. There is a right place to see a herd of dragons. Tourists can climb a hill, namely Bukit Ara (538 masl).
On the mountain, many herds of dragons live wildly. Besides Komodo, other animals that we can see are wild deer, bulls and wild horses.
Tourists can also enjoy the beautiful and stunning natural charm, the beauty of white sand decorated with coral and the waves on the beach. The sea water is so clear and blue and the sunlight warms the beach.
Komodo National Park turns out to save beauty under the sea. You can dive and enjoy the beauty of many species from coral reefs, seaweed, dozens of sponges, green turtles, sharks, stingrays, whales, to dolphins.
Its location in the Transition Zone area of the Wallacea line, makes this area very beautiful. This area was formed from the meeting of two continents, namely Asia and Australia, which then formed a unique row of islands and volcanoes.
Therefore, this island is filled with birds and animals from these two continents. There are so many types of flora and fauna that live in this Komodo National Park. Here there are 254 types of flora from Asia and Australia, 128 species of birds, and 58 other types of fauna.

Gen Con Event Spotlight – RISK: Shadow Forces
Form rank, gamers!
Today we're going to be talking about RISK: Shadow Forces, our upcoming legacy game due out on August 1st of this year. It is one of our featured games at Gen Con 2022 so we're hosting a number of special events at the convention to help players get their campaign started. As a bonus, they'll take home the copy of RISK: Shadow Forces they started!
As mentioned above, RISK: Shadow Forces is a legacy style game, which means that players will play through 15 game campaign book during which they will unlock new content and make choices that will result in permanent changes to their copy of the game. The first choice will happen before players even start playing their first game – once they select a faction to use, they must choose between two abilities noted on stickers. One sticker is placed on the faction board, and that ability will be usable by the faction throughout the entire campaign. The other sticker is to be torn up and thrown away, forever removed from the game. Because of these legacy rules, players often want to play the entire campaign with the same players.
Because of the uniqueness of a legacy style game, offering a demo event at Gen Con requires a unique solution. Therefore, we decided to offer an event where the ticket holder would get to keep the copy of RISK: Shadow Forces that they begin! Simply purchase a ticket through the Gen Con Event portal found here, then show up at your scheduled time along with 2-4 friends. The Avalon Hill team will help you get started on your first mission, and you'll be welcome to sit and play through as many missions as you'd like. Then, when you're finished, you'll pack up the game and take it with you to continue your campaign when you're ready! Best of all, the tickets are only $48 which is a significant discount from the RISK: Shadow Forces MSRP of $72.99. That's a savings of over 33%!
As of publication there are still event tickets available, but note these events are limited.

Songs Of Liberation: The Music That Kept RPA Rebels Warmed Up For Battle
Germain Nsanzimana July 4, 2019
Today the Rwanda Defense Force (RDF), the former RPA maintains a strong bond with song
On the early morning of October 1, 1990, news surfaced that columns and truckloads of soldiers that had been seen the previous evening travelling southwards towards the Rwandan border with Uganda, were actually an invading force.
Today we know that these were members of the Rwandese Patriotic Army (RPA) that liberated the country four years later, on July 4, 1994.
In their journey marked by bravery, suffering, resilience and triumph, RPA fighters and RPF cadres who mobilized for the struggle, were accompanied by songs of liberation that warmed their way to triumph.
A study: "Singing the Struggle: The Rwandan Patriotic Front's ideology through its songs of liberation" by Benjamin Chemouni and Rwandan Assumpta Mugiraneza documents the role of song in the RPA/F led liberation.
As the country celebrates the 25th anniversary of liberation, The Chronicles shares insights on the power of these songs that kept men and women of RPA on the battle front motivated, and ideologically clearheaded while acting as a powerful motivating. They were also a major mobilizing tool for Rwandans in the diaspora.
The war front songs "were often circulated orally, which means that they were prone to change," says the study, reason why none of the original songs maintained their original words.
However, there were many songs that routinely featured at Rwandan diaspora gatherings even before the actual war started in 1990.
"Even before the attack of the RPF in October 1990, songs were the means of identity expression and collective memory among its supporters in Rwanda and abroad. Audio tapes circulated covertly among families to foster nostalgia and the hope of the return of those who had fled Rwanda" was common, notes the study.
The songs played a pivotal role in various ways, and the messages were tactically designed – clearly to avoid certain ideas. For example, nearly all the songs preached unity, which was linked to the Rwandan God, "Imana". The eternal sacred Rwanda of "Imana" is synonymous with harmony.
However, the study says there were no references to Christianity in RPF songs and spirituality is considered exclusively pagan and pre-colonial, which is unsurprising given the strong anti-imperialist ideology of the RPF.
"This is in stark contrast to the Hutu Power movement, which regularly used Christianity in its propaganda," say authors Assumpta Mugiraneza and Benjamin Chemouni.
Unity appears as the most important goal of the RPF, before other aims such as military victory, liberation of Rwandans, or the development of the country. Unity, however, is not something to be created by the RPF, but merely reinstated through the struggle. It is an imminent characteristic of Rwanda, momentarily undermined since the advent of colonialism and waiting to be fully recovered and reinstated.
The liberation songs also reveal a deeply anti-imperialist ideology. The misfortune of Rwanda, and Africa more broadly, are presented ultimately as an evil brought by foreigners. This anti-imperialism is paralleled by both a pan-Africanist and nationalist ideology. One of the riveting songs is revealingly titled "Afrika warakubititse" (Africa, you suffered).
The same anti-outsiders stance continues today in Kagame's speeches. However, he packages the messages to avoid sounding extremist like post-independence leaders – some of whom did not live long like Sankara in Burkina Faso.
The songs sampled bring back a utopian and imagined ideal of pre-colonial Rwanda.
Brig Gen (Rtd) Frank Rusagara, currently in the appeals courts fighting a long prison term for serious charges, has also written extensively on the role of music in the RPF war machine.
In 2009, he published a paper titled: "Resilience of a Nation: A History of the Military in Rwanda."
Rusagara writes that "the narrativisation of the past glory of Rwanda was passed around [in the RPF songs and political messages] in order to create a sense of belonging to a community and history that transcended the experience of conflict."
Some of the songs also emphasised the unquestionable Rwandan character of the "Inkotanyi" by making them the heirs to a tradition of great fighters. The name "Inkotanyi" refers to a military formation in pre-colonial Rwanda under King Yuhi IV who ruled 1744-1802.
King Yui IV, a renowned military figure of the time
Songs aren't however unique to the RPF alone. The former government of Juvenal Habyarimana promoted its messages vigorously through songs. Many of those songs became the rallying call to the masses to commit genocide.
Whereas the Habyarimana and Hutu extremists systematically degraded and dehumanised the RPF, and the Tutsi who were viewed as RPF natural supporters, the RPF and their followers did not resort to similar methods. RPF songs referred directly to Habyarimana and his entourage, telling the listener that everyone else was a victim by pointing to the poverty and other ills in Rwandan society at the time.
For example, the song "Iya Mbere Ukwakira" (October 1st) composed by RPF fighters goes: "Tell me Habyarimana, I find you already discouraged while we are just beginning, soon we will be in Kigali. The Rwanda of Rwandans that you debase We, the intrepid Inkotanyi, will cure it".
Some of the RPF songs also portray it as a peaceful and reasonable movement, dealing with other parties on an equal footing. In addition, the songs convey the image of an educated RPF, composed of capable people.
The rebels' music also evolved with the circumstances. One song composed in late 1993 after the start of peace talks between the government and the rebels in the northern Tanzanian city of Arusha, brings out the government as the bad guys. The song's lyrics go as: "On August 4, we were in Arusha, The path of the RPF was recognised first, their poise, their courage and their great expertise, All parties accepted and signed for this, signed for this!"
The songs also portray the RPF as a multi-ethnic and inclusive organization in which some former Habyarimana's senior officers and other high profile Hutus before 1994. Hutus who joined RPF before 1994 included politicians like Seth Sendashonga, and Pasteur Bizimungu, who became President of the Republic after the genocide.
There is also Major Lizinde, and Colonel Alexis Kanyarengwe, who were of high-profile Hutus from Habyarimana's native region.
Colonel Kanyarengwe was instrumental in the coup that put Habyarimana in power in 1973 and later served as his minister of internal affairs before he fell out and fled to exile.
The songs show how Kanyarengwe himself became the President of the RPF as a Hutu from the North and former member of the Akazu (ruling group) of Habyarimana.
"Habyarimana, not knowing what to do, Used the Hutu and Tutsi ethnicities as a pretext and Colonel Kanyarengwe quickly told him: 'Stop all this intrigue, it is the source of the misery that has devastated Rwanda. When we parted, you were responsible for it. Get ready for the fight, we will defeat you, we are determined!'…" one song goes in part.
RPA fighters in Nyamata. The radio was for news, but also keep connected to the RPF broadcaster Radio Muhabura at the time for their songs.
The songs do also reveal a strong continuity between the ideology of the RPF as a rebel movement and its later ideology as a ruling party
The study explains that all pre-genocide themes identified in the songs are still present in the RPF's current discourse – putting emphasis on unity, professional and inclusive organization fighting for the common good and destined to restore Rwanda to its once great status, and finally suspicion towards the external world.
The songs strongly reflect RPF's original eight point-program penned after its formation in December 1987.
There are 20 highlighted songs by the study. They may not have been the most powerful, but are the ones that have stayed on. The songs are all in Kinyarwanda except one that is in Kiswahili called "Hatuwezi Kurudi Nyuma" and Kiswahili was also the language widely used to issue military orders during the struggle.
The composers of these liberation songs include single artists and groups like Indahemuka which was created in 1991 by RPF movement aiming at raising funds for the struggle for people in exile.
Other composers included: Immaculée Mukandoli, Fanny Gatera and Muyango, renowned singers Cécile Kayirebwa, and the late Annonciata Kamaliza – who died in a plane crash years later.
"Turatashye Inkotanyi z'Amarere" was very popular in mobilizing Rwandans in the diaspora and affirming inevitability of triumph.
In an interview with The Chronicles, Maria Yohana Mukankuranga popularly known by her song "Intsinzi", said that the Indahemuka Group was composed by members coming from Tanzania, Burundi, Republic Democratic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda and Europe.
The group was composed of singers and dancers numbering 43, and they composed most of the RPF war songs. It was started mainly by civilians and supporters of RPF.
"We wanted to fundraise for our children [RPF fighters] and to preserve our culture so that it would never be lost," she says.
"Our songs were to mobilise Rwandans everywhere that we have our country and we should come back home."

ST. LOUIS – If you attended or watched the historic 100th PGA Championship in St. Louis, you marveled at the precision golf shots. Behind the scenes, equally impressive precision by Electrical Connection members powered the event and connected it to a worldwide audience. Contracted by Aggreko, an international electricity, heating, and cooling provider, NECA contractor Guarantee Electrical Co. teamed with IBEW Local 1 to power every facet of the championship.
The tale of the tape on the sprawling Bellerive Country Club in Town & Country, Mo. and its 7,547-yard course also tells the tale of the enormous challenge of transforming the private club for a worldwide spectacle. The event was almost entirely powered by generators. Guarantee connected temporary power to the 46,800-square-foot PGA Merchandise Pavilion to power its air conditioning, wireless communications, lighting, video boards and more. The generators also reliably powered the concession stands strategically placed along the golf course.
Equally impressive were the accommodations for the media and the estimated 1,000 journalists covering the event. The IBEW/NECA team provided temporary power to the massive media center and stationary cameras covering the action on the course. In addition, the temporary power was used to support media using wireless connections for roaming camera crews and journalists on the course.
Guarantee began work on the project a year ago by connecting temporary power from an Ameren feed to the PGA trailer from which the entire championship was orchestrated. To insure uninterrupted power for this major event, a backup generator was also provided to the Bellerive clubhouse.
The PGA project was yet another in a series major St. Louis area events wired by the IBEW/NECA team. Indeed, Guarantee Electrical traces its name to its "guaranteed performance" wiring of the 1904 World's Fair.
The Electrical Connection is a partnership of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1 and the National Electrical Contractors Associations (NECA). For more than 100 years, IBEW/NECA has been the "go to" resource for safe and reliable electrical and communications construction, maintenance, repair and replacement services across Missouri, the nation and the world.

DERRY CITY: Kenny Shiels wary of newly-promoted Wexford Youths
Simon Collins
KENNY SHIELS has warned his players they dare not underestimate the threat of newly promoted Wexford Youths tomorrow night despite the fact the home side have yet to register a win this season!
The Derry City boss reckons Wexford's position in the table is misleading having came so close to holding champions, Dundalk to a draw while Bohemians had to fight back to earn a 3-3 draw at Dalymount last weekend.
We want to keep the momentum going. We're just approaching this game like we have the last four - with a view to try and win it.
Kenny Shiels
So Wexford come into tomorrow's game at Ferrycarrig Park on the back of those encouraging displays.
And having already fallen victim to newly promoted Finn Harps this season, Shiels is weary of the threat posed by Shane Keegan's men who, he feels, will be hugely motivated to bring the 'Candy Stripes' back down to earth after three straight wins.
"Wexford have done well," said Shiels. "They've taken Dundalk to the last five minutes. They got a 3-3 draw away to Bohs which is no mean achievement. And they've been very unlucky at Shamrock Rovers where they dominated that match I'm told.
"So these are things we're aware of and we know they will be a difficult opponent.
"It's like any other game in this league - it's going to be tough," he continued. "You have to go and work to get a result and Saturday's game will be no different.
"We know it's going to be difficult as the other four games have been."
Shiels singled out Wexford's former Ipswich Town midfielder, Paul Murphy as one to watch but prefereed to focus on the strengths of his own side.
"We've got good players ourselves so we've got to be optimistic," he said. "You view every game with the same approach and isolate that particular game and make sure it's a committed performance.
"If we can produce the same commitment we've shown over recent games, then we'll do fine.
"They'll think they have a chance of getting a result and you can't blame them for that.
Frustrating night for Derry City
"I'm sure they will go out with the intention of getting their first victory. We've already lost a game against one promoted team. We want to make sure that doesn't happen twice."
Defensive Reshuffle on cards
Shiels could be forced into a defensive reshuffle for tomorrow night's match after skipper, Ryan McBride limped off the training pitch on Monday with an injured knee.
Dean Jarvis (groin) is also rated doubtful but the Derry boss will give the defensive duo every chance as he's reluctant to make changes to the back four which has played in all four of the league games so far.
Aaron McEneff (back), who came off the bench to good effect against Galway last Friday, is also carrying a knock while match winner, Nathan Boyle will give Shiels something of a selection headache, so he could change things about.
"We could be forced into making changes," said Shiels. "Ryan McBride hasn't trained since Monday. He had to come off the training ground on Monday so he is rated doubtful.
"We don't want to dwell on it. We want to keep the continity and cohesion in the team or stay as near to that as possible but we'll see what develops."

Aerolineas Argentinas Cargo has so far transported 3.4 million doses of Sputnik V and Sinopharm vaccines from Russia and China to Argentina and other Latin American countries.
For the first time in 86 years, Aeromexico Cargo chartered a flight to Russia and collected a shipment of vaccines destined for Mexico. This flight is in addition to other shipments from Argentina transporting active ingredients to manufacture around 12 million doses.
Alitalia Cargo is also active in the transportation of the vaccines working closely with freight forwarders and leading pharmaceutical companies.
Delta Cargo has delivered almost half a million vaccines and clinical trial shipments within the US and across the globe, monitored by its Vaccine Watch Tower.
Korean Air is transporting vaccines and vaccine ingredients to Asia and Europe and is also one of several SkyTeam Cargo members working with UNICEF for the global transport of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Saudia Cargo to date has transported more than 10 tons of both Pfizer & Astra Zeneca vaccines into its home country and is working to "exponentially enhance" this number in the coming weeks.
SkyTeam Cargo chairman and chief executive of Saudia Cargo, Omar Hariri, said: "V Excellence is backed by a vast network reach combined with years of experience in special handling to guarantee the safe, reliable transportation of millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines between continents. Vaccines are vital to tackling the pandemic and as production ramps up, SkyTeam Cargo members have the skills and capacity to deliver, facilitating wider access for populations across the globe thanks to our strong partnerships with major freight forwarder experts in the pharma industry."
Senior vice president and head of the cargo business division at Korean Air, JD Eum, commented: "Korean Air is currently transporting Covid-19 vaccines and related medical supplies to/from Korea, and will continue to invest all necessary resources to ensure the safe transport of the vaccine. We hope to expand the vaccine's delivery to more regions by cooperating closely with SkyTeam Cargo members and sharing networks."

Comparing burkas to post boxes appears to have caused some offence. Whilst it's clearly an incorrect comparison; burkas being generally black and post-boxes red, is it really of such importance to warrant mention on TV news ?
Maybe BoJo could form a double act with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. As BoJo & Phil they would go down a storm at public meetings & functions for the well connected. Garden parties for foreign ambassadors catered for too.
Has Boris said something to upset the offenderati? Good for him .
I often wonder if he has that on top of his to do list.
1)Today i will offend somebody, either by something i say or something do.
2) check to do list.
It seems he sent a mixed message - on the one hand women should be allowed to wear anything they want but on the other hand they shouldn't wear the burqa or niqab.
Well what I thought he said was that he didn't like them and made a remark about them looking like post boxes. However he said they shouldn't be banned ( as they have in Denmark, which was the context of the remark). Cue "offenderati" (nice one, Asp). He was consistent and liberal, which deserves punishment appaently. The "offenderati" however think he should not have the right to express an opinion at all and various Tories think it is a good opportunity to knock the most popular candidate with conservative members for the role of their next leader! Meanwhile in the press it is the silly season, and hence back to Obs' point!!!
Think Jack Straw summed the situation up over 10 years ago; if women entered his surgery wearing a burka, he would ask them to remove it or leave. Face recognition is now a vital part of public security, and we probably have more CCTV per capita than anywhere else. So a ban on all face covering in the public space would seem appropriate imo. As for the religious aspect of this, I find such archaic practises in the 21st century incongruous; far from being Islamaphobic, this is merely a secular view and applies to all religious symbolism and display, by any religious group. As the old saying goes - "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" - it is for all cultural groups to assimilate into the host society, not continue with primitive practises in some kind of parallel social silo. Diversity = division.
Well said Obs, & if these people want to live in a medieval ,oppressive regime that imposes complete covering in its religion then maybe they would be more comfortable living in a stricter country. I am surprised that our so called women's libbers & the #me too brigade have not lumped this outdated practice together with gender equality & abuse towards women. but they are strangely silent on the matter. In these secularly enlightened times ,state security should be the watchword & should be prominent over religious matters.
The way this is playing out on the news, merely highlights the pathetic state of UK politics at the moment, and the descent into the trivia of identity politics. Perhaps it's time for the silent majority to start calling out the "offenderati", and ending this excuse for stifling free speech. Of course, one person's view may offend someone else, but that's no excuse for censorship or avoiding issues; get it out there, have the debate and form your own opinion; which is supposedly the essence of politics.
The London Mayor, Sadiq Khan (a Muslim) said more or less the same thing as Boris a few years ago, as did Harriet Harman, Anna Soubry, Emily Thornberry and others too numerous to mention. None of them has been censured in this way, so its obviously a political move against Boris probably orchestrated by our useless PM.
Perhaps a Muslim may take offence at gammon ? !
.. and dressing like a "letter box" isn't idiotic ? !
not if you are in a marathon for charity.
Boris is only saying what the vast majority of people think so for a politician to do this rather than simply tow the party or politically correct line is something that many, including myself would applaud.
... and according to the polls over 60% support him.
As the forces of the liberal establishment try to close down any rational discussion of the burka/niquab issue, with cries of "Islamaphobia" , "hate speech", and "racism"; I was interested in the views of Taj Hargey, (Hard Talk BBC) the Imam at the Oxford Mosque, who is advocating a liberal form of Islamic teaching, which is based solely on the Quran and refutes all the additional "add ons" of the traditionalists, such as the wearing of face coverings. Perhaps the Muslim equivalent of a Martin Luther, he attacks the more traditional conservative teaching of Islam, and advocates a more modern form of teaching that adapts to local social enviroments and thus aids real integration. Perhaps it's time our liberal elite, normally concerned with the equality and freedom of women, started to support Muslim modernisers rather than the conservative elements that promote "hate speech" with calls to Jihad, and the preservation of female disempowering practises invented by men.
Well I have never been frightened of a woman wearing a bhurka, I have never seen them act in a violent manner. men in suits on the other hand , I have seen them causing lots of trouble. Do not be scared of these little women you needn't be.
Who has suggested that women wearing burqas are "frightening" or "violent"? Who has suggested that people should be "scared" of them?
Exactly, who's suggesting that ? Whether it's a burka, motorbike helmet, Guy Fawkes mask, KKK hood or ski mask; I would expect it to be the norm, that people show their face in public for mutual recognition and recognition by the Police in the event of criminal activity.
Some interesting stuff on that link Asp.

George hopes to prove his Worth at 13
11 January 2020 18:00 By Jonathan Whitney
Leicester Tigers back George Worth reveals it was only through circumstance that he was handed his first opportunity at full-back – but he's excited to wear the No13 shirt once again this weekend.
The 23-year-old has put together a number of appearances in the back three so far this season, but will start at outside centre for Tigers' European Challenge Cup clash with Cardiff Blues this Sunday, January 12 (3.15pm).
And Worth, in an exclusive interview for the latest edition of the club's matchday magazine, explains how he rose the ranks as a centre – before a chance switch to full-back.
"When I was a bit younger and playing in Norfolk, and even the early stages in the academy, I was playing week-in, week-out at centre," he says.
"Then, there was one game in the Under-18s league and our full-back happened to be ill. My coach at the time, Tosh [Tony Askew] put me there and I had a good game.
"That was just a string that was added to my bow, and now most of my opportunities in the first team have come at full-back!"
The Peterborough-born player also opens up on the influence of head coach Geordan Murphy and mentor Mathew Tait.
Worth continues: "Obviously with Geordie being the player that he was, now the head coach, has helped me massive amounts.
"Taity was a centre and full-back as well, and he told me how important it was to be able to do both.
"He said 'it'll get you in the team, a place on the bench, a starting role', and having that versatility is important – and I like to think that's showing at the moment."

Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Sequel' Comes As His Dire Climate Predictions Fail To Materialize
REUTERS/Jacky Naegelen/File Photo
Michael Bastasch Energy Editor
July 27, 2017 9:12 PM ET
Former Vice President Al Gore's new global warming film debuts in select theaters Friday, just in time to see if his 2006 prediction came true that humanity would face a "true planetary crisis" if nothing was done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It didn't, but that hasn't stopped Gore from going on a whirlwind media tour to promote his new film "An Inconvenient Sequel."
Gore has repeatedly said that "every night on the network news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelations," but stressed that he's optimistic countries will solve the "climate crisis" through innovation and a growing political realization that something has to be done about greenhouse gas emissions.
The film is a follow-up to Gore's 2006 film "An Inconvenient Truth," which has been credited with raising public awareness about global warming. It really just got people scared about manmade climate change, and did so by making many dire predictions that never came true.
True to his reputation, Gore's new film suggests he single-handedly saved the Paris climate accords from failing by convincing a U.S.-based solar company to do business in India. Indian officials, of course, rejected the claim.
In fact, some reviewers have panned Gore's new flick as little more than self-promotion at the expense of actually talking about climate science.
The Daily Caller News Foundation plans its own review of "An Inconvenient Sequel," but until then we want to remind our readers of some of the failed predictions Gore made in his 2006 film.
(The following was republished from the article "An Inconvenient Review: After 10 Years Al Gore's Film Is Still Alarmingly Inaccurate.")
Kilimanjaro Still Has Snow
One of the first glaring claims Gore makes is about Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. He claims that Africa's tallest peak will be snow-free "within the decade." Gore shows slides of Kilimanjaro's peak in the 1970s versus today to conclude the snow is disappearing.
Well, it's been a decade and, yes, there's still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round. It doesn't take a scientist to figure this out. One can just look at recent photos posted on the travel website TripAdvisor.com.
In 2014, ecologists monitoring Kilimanjaro's snowpack found that it was not even close to being gone. It may have shrunk a little, but ecologists were confident it would be around for the foreseeable future.
"There are ongoing several studies, but preliminary findings show that the ice is nowhere near melting," Imani Kikoti, an ecologist at Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, told eturbonews.com.
"Much as we agree that the snow has declined over centuries, but we are comfortable that its total melt will not happen in the near future," he said.
Gore Left Out The 15-Year "Hiatus" In Warming
Gore also claims temperature rise from increases in man-made carbon dioxide emissions were "uninterrupted and intensifying." He goes on to claim that heatwaves will become more common, like the one that killed 35,000 people across Europe in 2003.
Sounds terrifying — until you actually look at what happened to global temperature after Gore's film was released. Global temperatures showed little to no warming trend after Gore released his film. In fact, surface temperature data showed no significant global warming for a period of about 15 years, starting in the early 2000s.
Satellite-derived temperature data showed that, until the recent El Niño, no statistically significant warming trend for more than 21 years.
Gore's movie was released right in the middle of the so-called global warming "hiatus."
The Weather Hasn't Gotten Worse
Gore also famously predicted that storms would become more frequent and intense as manmade emissions warmed the oceans.
"And of course when the oceans get warmer, that causes stronger storms," Gore said in his film. "That same year that we had that string of big hurricanes, we also set an all-time record for tornadoes."
Gore's film came out just after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast. Indeed, footage of the destruction from that storm featured prominently in Gore's film. He mentions how the U.S. was hit with a rash of severe storms in the early 2000s and how Japan saw a record number of typhoons.
"The insurance industry has actually noticed this," Gore said. "Their recovered losses are going up."
But Gore's claim is more hype than actual science, since storms aren't more extreme since 2006. In fact, not even findings from the United Nations's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) support Gore's claim.
The IPCC found in 2013 there "is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated with other climate variables since the mid-20th century." The IPCC also found "no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century" and "[n]o robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin."
Gore should probably take these findings seriously since he shared the Nobel Prize in 2007 with the IPCC for its work on global warming.
The North Pole Still Has Ice
Gore also claimed the Arctic could be ice-free in the coming decades. He said "within the next 50 to 70 years, it could be completely gone."
With no Arctic sea ice, polar bears and all sorts of Arctic animals would be threatened, Gore warned, showing an animated scene of a polar bear drowning.
This is actually one of Gore's more cautious predictions — he did incorrectly predict in 2008 there would be no Arctic by 2013. But even in this case, Gore is likely wrong because of the Arctic's geographical setting.
The Arctic is almost completely surrounded by land, so the ice that forms there tends to stay there. Arctic ice coverage has shrunk in recent decades, but it's not likely we will see even a summer where the North Pole is completely ice-free.
"I doubt the Arctic will be free of all ice in any summer, although the total area may well be greatly reduced in the future if it continues to warm there," said Chip Knappenberger, a climate scientist at the libertarian Cato Institute.
"Such a situation should not be overly worrisome, as there is ample evidence that it has occurred in the past and clearly, polar bears, and everything else up there managed to survive," Knappenberger said.
The latest data shows that polar bears are actually thriving, despite shrinking ice coverage.
A "Day After Tomorrow"-Style Ice Age Is Still A Day Away
Remember the 2004 blockbuster film "The Day After Tomorrow"? In the movie, the Gulf Stream, which scientists say is essential for regulating the climate, shuts down and ends up causing another ice age.
Well, Gore hints this could happen if Greenland's ice sheet melts and brings more cold water into the North Atlantic.
"At the end of the last ice age, as the last glacier was receding from North America, the ice melted and a giant pool of fresh water formed," Gore said. "An ice dam on the eastern border formed and one day it broke."
Gore said fresh, cold water bled out into the North Atlantic and caused the Gulf Stream to stall, which sent Europe into another ice age. Gore then suggests Greenland's ice melt could pose a similar threat.
Australian scientists, however, totally debunked claims the Gulf Stream, or AMOC, was weakening.
"Claims of strengthening or reducing of the AMOC are therefore pure speculation," Aussie scientists wrote in their paper published in March.

The IPO Series: What is an IPO on a Share Market and How Does it All Work?
In this first post of the IPO Series we will go through the basics of what an IPO is and how it all works. Why should a company go public?
What is an IPO?
IPO stands for initial public offering, the process by which a company first lists on a stock exchange, becoming a public listed company. The company offers, for the first time, shares of its equity to the investing public. These shares subsequently trade on a public share market, like the NZX in New Zealand, and on larger markets such as the ASX in Australia and the New York Stock Exchange.
What's the origin of IPOs?
The origin of the concept dates back to 1602, when the Dutch East India Company sold shares on its own Amsterdam Stock Exchange, which is the first stock market, becoming the first publicity traded company, the first one to issue stock to the public, representing an opportunity for the general public to own shares in a company.
Why do companies decide to go public?
The first question you may ask is why a company would want to go public. Many private companies succeed remarkably well as privately owned enterprises. Some of the most well know businesses in the world such as Dell Computers and Mars Confectionery are privately held. Firms have to weigh up the benefits and drawbacks of a public listing before deciding to undertake an IPO.
What are the pitfalls?
The IPO process is a costly, and time-consuming procedure due to the many parties involved including legal and financial advisors. In addition to the costs of the IPO, there are ongoing costs of maintaining a listing such as NZX annual fees, which can be over $60,000, as well as the increased costs of meeting the higher compliance and disclosure requirements.
The IPO procedure itself is highly distracting for the management of the company, which can't be completely focused on the ongoing running of the business. Being public can also limit the management freedom to act, as the board and shareholder require approval on many major matters, and are heavily influenced by shareholders pressure and market sentiment.
So, how does it all work?
A number of advisors are chosen by the listing company and then processes of due diligence and marketing are carried out before the final listing occurs. An investment bank typically manages the IPO process, providing a valuation of the company and drumming up interest in the offering. Legal advisors manage the due diligence, verify the offer documents and oversee the regulatory compliance processes. On completion of the due diligence and marketing phases, the placement and final pricing of the shares occurs, which results in a new security trading in the market.
Next up in our IPO Series, we'll outline the main differences between IPOs and equity crowdfunding. Catch you next time.

MLB trade rumors: Phillies targeting a left-handed hitter to boost horrible bench
By Evan Macy
The Phillies had a well-deserved day off on Monday after going 4-3 during a roadtrip to the Midwest that included series against two of the NL's best. The players may have been off the field, enjoying Memorial Day, but the front office was looking at ways to help the team lengthen its 1.5 game lead in the division.
With the trade deadline about two months away, the team's biggest moves are likely still pretty far in the future. But according to FOX's Ken Rosenthal, there may be a more minor one in the cards sometime soon.
MORE ON THE PHILLIES
Phillies notes: The bullpen just got a bit more powerful, and Pivetta is back in the rotation
MLB trade rumors: Phillies targets could include Madison Bumgarner, Yasiel Puig, Blake Treinen
Al Morganti: Gabe Kapler has Phillies expecting to contend for rest of season
"Expect the Phillies to seek a left-handed hitter for their bench before the July 31st trade deadline, in addition to whatever pitching needs might arise. The ideal profile would be an experience player who is comfortable coming off the bench and can hit for power. Matt Adams is one of many players who fits that description and the way the Nationals are playing, he is one of many who might be available." [FOX SPORTS]
There are only two-left handed hitters on the 25-man roster right now in Bryce Harper and Odubel Herrera. Adding one makes perfect sense — though assuming a division rival would be willing to make a deal with them is a big assumption (especially as Washington is slowly improving). The Nats are, however, 9.5 games behind Philly and will probably be sellers at some point.
Adams has had just 85 at bats this season and has started 14 games at first base for Washington. He has four homers, 14 RBI and a .247 batting average. Last season he played more — 121 total games — and hit 21 homers. He is 30 years old and a career .265 hitter.
MLBTradeRumors.com has come up with a few other players the Phillies could target as lefty bench hitters.
This is merely speculation, but Jay Bruce (Mariners), Curtis Granderson and Neil Walker (Marlins), Yonder Alonso (White Sox) and Lucas Duda (Royals) stand out as lefty-capable hitters with some pop who could land on the Phillies' radar in the next couple months. None of those veterans' teams are in contention, meaning they're all logical trade chips. Bruce and Walker are the only members of the group who have notched respectable overall production at the plate this season, though the revered Granderson has shown recent signs of life after a weeks-long slumber. [MLB Trade Rumors]
Phillies pinch hitters have a .153 batting average this season, the second lowest of all 30 MLB teams in 2019. Bench players in the role of pinch hitters have contributed just one home run and seven RBI in 85 at bats, the third most plate appearances of any team.
The Phillies simply must do better, as they've been as easy an out as one can be pinch hitting this season. Keep an eye on the names mentioned above as this is an issue that could continue to cost the Phils until they do find someone who can contribute reliably off the bench.

Addressing the agricultural emissions question
Biological emissions from agriculture (methane and nitrous oxide) make up almost half New Zealand's total greenhouse gas emissions. There is still little agreement, however, on how to address farming emissions.
Motu Economic and Public Policy Research brought together a group of New Zealand climate change and agriculture specialists to investigate cows, sheep, economics, and science as background for the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment's recent report.
The two Motu working papers that resulted take as a baseline that, for the climate to stabilise, net long-lived gases - carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions - must be the central focus of mitigation efforts and must ultimately be cut to (net) zero.
"Agriculture is unique because nitrous oxide emissions cannot go to zero: we need food, and any food that requires inputs of nitrogen will result in nitrous oxide entering the atmosphere," said Dr Suzi Kerr, Senior Fellow at Motu.
"So, when it comes to nitrous oxide the emphasis must be on efficiency. This means that Kiwi farmers need to focus on producing low-emission nutrition that balances emission reduction with producing enough food. Any remaining nitrous oxide emissions will need to be offset by actively taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere," said Dr Kerr
"In contrast, methane emissions could be reduced to zero but while reducing short-lived methane emissions will make it easier to achieve the target of limiting warming to two degrees, methane emissions do not need to decline to zero for the climate to stabilise."
The first Motu working paper makes it clear that while leading scientists disagree on the importance of reducing methane in the short term, this isn't because they disagree on the science. Individuals make different judgements about politics in New Zealand and internationally. Some are concerned that focus on methane will reduce effort to reduce carbon dioxide – a bad outcome.
Judgements about when climate change will be most damaging – and how quickly we will adapt - also differ. If we are strongly concerned about climate damage now we should put more effort in now to reduce methane; if our key concern is long term 'peak' concentration, then current action should be focused on a smooth long-term transition to a low methane future. There is no 'correct' answer to how methane should be addressed.
The second paper explores policy options both within the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and outside it. The findings of this paper were strongly informed by the agriculture and low-emission future dialogues run by Motu since 2009 that have included farmers, iwi, industry, not-for-profits and government officials.
Delaying the adjustment of the farming sector toward low methane emissions may require that adjustment to happen very quickly in the future, if climate damages and greenhouse gas prices are even higher than anticipated.
"To protect rural communities, policies and actions should encourage farmers to start the transition to low-emission techniques and products now."
Dr Kerr believes that all the policies suggested by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment are important to consider.
"There isn't a single mitigation option that is appropriate for all farms, so regulation needs to be flexible," said Dr Kerr. "However, some regionally specific performance benchmarks and land-use restrictions may be appropriate."
Promoting the freshwater reforms, with an emphasis on reforestation as well as improved farming practices, and developing a capital gains tax on rural land could also help.
Dr Kerr strongly suggests, however, that agriculture be brought into the ETS soon. That would provide a clear signal to farmers, rural communities and those who support them in education, industry and research that they need to apply creativity, effort and resources to develop new low emitting products that we can produce and sell profitably.
"An idea that I think has good legs on it, is for larger dairy farms to be brought into the ETS at the farm scale. Farmers could be offered a fixed-price option that is periodically marked to the market, rather than requiring that they buy and surrender units," said Dr Kerr. "We need to start soon, with a gradual introduction, so that we can transition to an ETS that has full farm-level obligations."
The Motu reports acknowledge that New Zealand farmers have already made substantial efficiency gains that have constrained the rise in total agricultural GHG emissions. However, total agricultural emissions are projected to continue to rise in the short to medium term because of planned production increases. Continuing current efforts is not enough.
"Because our agricultural industry is both productive and becoming more climate-smart than many other countries, it is in New Zealand's interests for agricultural emissions to be included in the climate mitigation strategies of all countries," said Dr Kerr. "Our government and farmers could work with developing countries to transform their agricultural sectors."
The recent academic papers, one by Dr Kerr alone and the other by Michele Hollis, Cecile de Klein, Dave Frame, Mike Harvey, Martin Manning, Andy Reisinger, Suzi Kerr, and Anna Robinson, outlines these issues in more depth.

are we talking about medieval economies? because they definitely didn't work longer hours, harder maybe, definitely more physically strenuous, but there was a lot less of it. And those portions of the year where you're not harvesting or planting (agricultural work being the primary form of labor in those days) there's actually really not all that much to do.
http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/rauch/worktime/hours_workweek.html
On Holidays:
All told, holiday leisure time in medieval England took up probably about one-third of the year. And the English were apparently working harder than their neighbors. The ancien règime in France is reported to have guaranteed fifty-two Sundays, ninety rest days, and thirty-eight holidays. In Spain, travelers noted that holidays totaled five months per year.
On the typical work day:
An important piece of evidence on the working day is that it was very unusual for servile laborers to be required to work a whole day for a lord. One day's work was considered half a day, and if a serf worked an entire day, this was counted as two "days-works."[2] Detailed accounts of artisans' workdays are available. Knoop and jones' figures for the fourteenth century work out to a yearly average of 9 hours (exclusive of meals and breaktimes)[3]. Brown, Colwin and Taylor's figures for masons suggest an average workday of 8.6 hours[4].
and in sum:
The peasant's free time extended beyond officially sanctioned holidays. There is considerable evidence of what economists call the backward-bending supply curve of labor -- the idea that when wages rise, workers supply less labor. During one period of unusually high wages (the late fourteenth century), many laborers refused to work "by the year or the half year or by any of the usual terms but only by the day." And they worked only as many days as were necessary to earn their customary income -- which in this case amounted to about 120 days a year, for a probable total of only 1,440 hours annually (this estimate assumes a 12-hour day because the days worked were probably during spring, summer and fall). A thirteenth-century estime finds that whole peasant families did not put in more than 150 days per year on their land. Manorial records from fourteenth-century England indicate an extremely short working year -- 175 days -- for servile laborers. Later evidence for farmer-miners, a group with control over their worktime, indicates they worked only 180 days a year.
The amount and type and quality of stuff they could acquire was far worse but it's not like they had to work as much as we do just to get to survival rate, was inefficient but it wasn't that inefficient. And since they couldn't get more stuff and they couldn't really make their work more efficient or produce more, or do much development of new things to apply their tiem to making, they just kind of spent a ton of time chilling out.
Edit: also forgot to add in the last paragraph there was very little social mobility, banks weren't accessible to a peasant really, neither was credit so much, rule of law was pretty weak, so every thing about how labor worked and peoples expectations were really different. When you can't move up and you can't really safely save up for much beyond the next winter, people's relationship to work becomes really different.

A rare tropical storm warning and hurricane watch were posted for parts of the Maine coast yesterday as Hurricane Kyle roared north with a threat of conditions similar to a northeaster.
EASTPORT, Maine � A rare tropical storm warning and hurricane watch were posted for parts of the Maine coast yesterday as Hurricane Kyle roared north toward the region with a threat of conditions similar to one of New England�s northeaster storms.
It was Maine�s first hurricane watch in 17 years, the National Weather Service said.
Two to 4 inches of rain had already fallen along some coastal areas by midday yesterday, and the storm was expected to deliver an additional 2 to 4 inches, said Eric Schwibs of the weather service in Gray.
At 5 p.m. yesterday, Kyle was centered about 315 miles west-northwest of Bermuda and 485 miles south of Nantucket, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The storm had top sustained wind near 75 mph and became a Category 1 hurricane yesterday afternoon. It was moving north over the open Atlantic at 23 mph. Kyle�s center was forecast to be near eastern New England or the Canadian Maritime provinces late today, the hurricane center said.
The forecast for Barnstable today calls for showers in the morning, then more showers likely in the afternoon, with a steady temperature in the upper 60s. Northeast winds are expected over the Cape this morning at 10 to 20 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph. In the afternoon, sustained winds are forecast from the north at 25 to 35 mph. The rainfall is likely to dissipate tonight, with winds lessening to 10 to 15 mph.
