November 12, 2015 – The Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC), the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat), and the Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) announced a combined total investment of $3,582,992 over four years for a world-leading, Saskatchewan-based research project focused on advancing wheat genomics that will lead to better productivity and profitability for wheat farmers.
A major goal of the CTAG2 project is the development of a "breeder-friendly" genotyping platform to allow whole genome selection for agronomically important traits. The end result will be a useful tool for wheat breeders to enable development of improved cultivars that are more productive, resistant to disease and pests, and resilient to heat and drought stresses. These cultivars will provide wheat farmers with crops that are more productive, profitable and environmentally sustainable.
This research aims to address questions around the effectiveness of tillage to address soil compaction and other physical limitations that may be present in Saskatchewan soils, especially under the wet conditions experienced in recent years.

In the United States, bankruptcy is governed by federal law, commonly referred to as the "Bankruptcy Code" ("Code"). The United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4) authorizes Congress to enact "uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States". Congress has exercised this authority several times since 1801, including through adoption of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, codified in Title 11 of the United States Code and the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA).

23-Year-old Russian Hacker confessed to be original author of BlackPOS Malware
Jan 21, 2014Mohit Kumar
In the previous reports of Cyber Intelligence firm 'IntelCrawler' named Sergey Tarasov, a 17-year-old teenager behind the nickname "ree[4]", as the developer of BlackPOS malware.
BlackPOS also known as "reedum" or 'Kaptoxa' is an effective crimeware kit, used in the massive heist of possibly 110 million consumers' Credit-Debit cards, and personal information from the TARGET.
Later Researchers's investigation revealed that the original coder of BlackPOS Malware was actually a 23-year-old young hacker named Rinat Shabayev and the teen, Sergey Taraspov is the incharge for the technical support department.
In an interview with Russian channel 'LifeNews', Rinat Shabayev admitted that he had developed the BlackPOS crimeware kit. He clarified that the program developed by him was not meant for any kind of data theft, instead the program was written for the security testing.
He developed the malware with the help of another programmer with anonymous identity, whom he had met online. His original plan was just to sell the exploit, not to use it for malicious intent by himself.
His friend took the readymate codes from him and added more features to it. In addition to this information, he also confessed that the exploit can be used for malicious purposes too.
Researchers at IntelCrawler say that the same malware may have also been involved in the Neiman Marcus attack too.
Whatever be the intention of the programmer, but now more than 110 million people are suffering credit card theft because of his software. Even after knowing that the malware has ability to compile a massive financial theft, his justifications are not enough to be innocent.

Essays on ethics are always a tough call for students. An ethics paper requires a lot of time for preparation. Ethics essay topics are varied – from business theory to modern scientific research. An ethical essay is different from other types of essay papers, as it requires profound background information. An ethics essay should discuss and analyze issues through the prism of philosophical principles. Thus an ethical essay very often states the writer's point of view on a particular topic. While attempting ethics papers students must be able to correlate the topic with moral sensibility and decision making. An ethics research paper is written with a strong thesis statement which is substantiated with examination of perspectives. For example a business ethics essay would deal with a practical situation and compare it with theoretical principles. The ethical essay would also examine philosophical ideas and see if they have contemporary relevance. An ethical paper could also have an argumentative tenor.
Ethics essays highlight the deep understanding of the writer. Ethics essays are a thinking man's forte. For example in a business ethics essay, the writer could examine the code of business ethics in terms of origin and relevance. This aspect of an medical ethics essay is a double-edged sword. An medical ethics essay could overwhelm a novice. Presentation in ethics papers is the key to getting high grades. The business ethic essay paper could even be negative in its content but has to be presented convincingly.
Outsourced bioethics essays are well structured and neatly formatted. When the ethics essay is written by people who are knowledgeable and have good writing skills it is a near guarantee that your grade will be good. So even if this costs a bit, your work ethics essay will be good value for money. Some students may find it tough to present a professional professional ethics essay. They can easily reach out to experts in ethics essay writing and be stop worrying about their grades.

Some Services Continue Despite US Government Shutdown
Jennifer Pallanich, Contributor
Jennifer Pallanich is a veteran oil and gas journalist based in Houston....
(Official White House Photo by Keegan Barber)
Despite stalled negotiations between the White House and Congress over funding for a border wall, forcing a shutdown of the government that started December 22, 2018, certain services remain active, if scaled-back, including some serving the oil and gas industry.
During the government shutdown, both the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) followed a contingency plan that placed an emphasis on supporting the sustained exploration and development of energy resources on the outer continental shelf (OCS) during the shut-down.
BSEE expected to retain about 51 percent of its 803 employees, calling them exempt and covering their salaries from non-lapsing funds. During the shutdown BSEE continued critical permitting and oversight activities for the OCS, which the bureau said were necessary to protect workers and conserve natural resources. Additionally, BSEE expected to continue reviewing documents in support of permitting and inspecting offshore oil and gas operations, as well as receive and process applications for drilling permits and other offshore permits. Routine and emergency inspections would also continue to be performed. BOEM was expected to help support these functions.
BOEM kept 76 employees available on an on-call basis as well as eight "excepted" positions, including the director, deputy director, three regional directors, the emergency management coordinator, the budget officer, and the chief of the Office of Budget and Program Coordination, on an as-needed basis.
Together, these 84 employees were to conduct the essential functions of supporting BSEE permitting operations, administrative services and emergency response. In total, there are 558 employees of BOEM, although some are funded by non-lapsing appropriations.
According to the BOEM plan, the employees on-call during the shutdown were not to process or review new exploration and development plans, but to process and review certain revised plans related to ongoing permitting work performed by BSEE.
The current government shutdown is the result of a standoff between President Trump, who wants $5 billion in funding for a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, and the Democrat-led Congress, who oppose the president's anti-immigration stance. It has been hinted that the Democrats had a proposal to reopen the government, but as yet it is unclear how long the shutdown will continue.
On January 3, which was the 13th day of the government shutdown, the 116th congress was sworn in. The historic event saw not just the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, but a record number of women be sworn into congress. Nancy Pelosi, resuming a previous mantle, was sworn in as House Speaker. In her first speech to the new congress, she showcased support for immigration by quoting President Reagan: "If we ever close the door to new Americans, our leadership role in the world will soon be lost."
To date, the longest government shutdown was the 1995-1996 three-week closure during President Clinton's administration, which followed a five-day shutdown in late 1995, for a total of 26 days of during his tenure.
While President Ford was in office, there was a 10-day shutdown in 1976. President Carter's four years in office saw a total of 56 days of shutdown, including a 17-day stretch in 1978. During President Reagan's eight years in office there were a number of short-lived shutdowns that totaled 14 days, and President H. W. Bush's administration saw a three-day shutdown in 1990. There were 16 days of shutdown under President Obama in 2013.
Under President Trump, the government shut down in January 2018 for three days and one day in February 2018, with the latest shutdown beginning on December 22, 2018.

Why is this important?
This is important since it brings people together by helping them bond. This would resonate by the high production rates that you would get after each annual analysis of the work. Instances of team building brings people together in the long run. Team building also keeps them away from the work routine enabling them to refresh and become better at what they do. Team building would also facilitate a better and faster service delivery in the work place since people would be able to join hands for a common cause eventually.
This activities tend to pool the workers together where they would be able to ensure that you would e able to have it better in terms of effort and hard work.

"I chose BodyLab based on a positive outcome 5 years ago when I suffered badly from OOS. This time, following a rotator cuff sprain, I had a virtually 'frozen' shoulder that made many everyday tasks difficult, some impossible. Following an incredibly comprehensive initial consultation, Brendan recommended a chiropractor to realign my neck (which I had no idea was a problem) in tandem with a twice weekly strengthening programme. Both have proven successful to the point where I am now virtually pain free. Total range of movement is still some way off pending possible orthopaedic manipulation. However, because of the strength I have gained, and am continuing to improve with an independent programme, this may be avoidable altogether.


If you've never done it before, hiring a tree service provider can seem kind of daunting. For one thing, this is not really a service that most people hire very often.
It is also the kind of service where you really want to know you are hiring the best possible company. Mistakes that are made by a poor company can take considerable time – and effort – to rectify.
Here then is a handy run down of just what exactly you should look for when hiring professional's to work on your trees.
It could really pay off to try to find a company that has been in business for a while. For one thing, a business does not typically build longevity by being bad at what it does. Rather, if it has survived awhile, it must be doing something right! For example, check out: www.espinozatreeservice.net and even though the website might look basic, the company has been around for over 15 years and got quote the reputation.
This is also an industry that is plagued by pop – up companies that are here one day and gone the next. They are not necessarily going to give you the highest level of service.
As a rule of thumb, if a company has been around for more than 10 years that is a great sign.
The professionals who will work on your trees are called arborists, and you want to make sure that the ones that show up to work in your yard actually work for the company you've hired.
That may sound strange but some tree companies will actually just be one full time employee. They will then hire – in other words subcontract – other professional arborists to come in and do the work.
Try to avoid this if you can, and make sure that the person you speak to is the person who will be working on your trees.
How Will They Protect Your Yard?
Protecting your yard from damage whilst working on your trees should be of paramount importance to whomever you hire to work on your trees. Whether this is damage from falling branches or from the deployment of their own equipment, if the company cannot give you several strategies to avoid damage then walk away.
Do They Have All The Gear?
A good tree service company is going to come well equipped with all the machinery and equipment they require. They should not be hiring much, if any, of their equipment.
They should have cranes and powered platforms, they should have a range of hand and powered chainsaws and they should have the full range of protective equipment to operate all of this stuff.
If they don't come equipped to do the job, don't give it to them.
One of the most important questions! They need to be insured not only to take on the work itself – i.e. for any damages that may accidently occur – they also need to be insured for accidents.
If one of the workers falls out of the tree or cuts his finger off you may be liable for the financial penalties if the company is not insured.
It's crucial that you check your home guttering systems regularly because they do not last forever. Gutters made of aluminum or galvanized steel last for around two decades. Copper gutters last for around half a century.
There are other factors that can affect that can reduce the life of your gutter. Some of these factors include fallen tree limbs and damage from ladders. Do you know when your gutters were installed? This can help know when to replace your gutters.
Do not replace a good gutter because it has a few blemishes. "By the way, most companies may recommend replacing your gutter, even though it is not necessary." said Ricardo Styles with Virginia Beach Gutters, a full service gutter company serving Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Ricardo believes that it's because they want to charge you more money for unnecessary labor.
Check if your gutter has holes, cracks, or rust spots. Use a sealant to fix some of these holes and cracks. However, if there are several holes, cracks, or rust spots, replace your gutters.
Replace a gutter that has several broken fasteners. Fasteners hold a gutter to the roof. They keep the gutter level. It is easy to repair a few fasteners. However, the problem may persist. If this happens, replace your gutters.
Check if there are screws and nails on the ground. Screws and nails that hold the gutter get loose after some time. It is easy to replace the nails and screws. You may replace them, but they keep getting loose. If this happens regularly, it is time for new gutters.
Guttering systems work properly when they are fastened together. The gutters are fastened in a continuous channel. However, they separate from each as they get old. If the gutters keep separating from another regularly, replace them.
Replace the gutters when they pull away from your roof. Hammer in the fasteners properly, but if you notice a space between your gutters and your roofline, know that the fascia boards are starting to rot. You can only fix the fascia problems by replacing the gutters.
Check for improperly-pitched gutters or sagging gutters. Water spills over if a proper pitch was not maintained along the gutter system. Replace your gutter system if you cannot fix this problem.
When it rains, you may notice dirt channels or pooling water. What does this mean? It means that water is spilling over your gutters. You can correct this problem, but it is better to replace the gutter, especially if the problem persists.
Making a landscaping look good is hard. It is time-consuming. And it costs a lot of money. However, malfunctioning gutters can erode your landscaping. This can cost you a lot of money, especially if it happens regularly. It is better to replace your gutter if you want to avoid further damages to landscaping.
Water that overflows from the gutters can leak into your basements. The water can cause costly damage. When you are repairing the basement, you should consider replacing your gutters.
Creating a business is a huge responsibility. It is not a simple thing to do and often include subtleties that you may never have considered earlier. In fact, it requires you to invest your time, efforts and most importantly money. You want your business to get successful in order to get return on all the investments you made.
Business is not all about buying and selling things. Every niche requires a different mindset and a distinctive set of operations. This is why you need to research enough about the market you will cater. Research how much competition is in the market and look for something better and cheaper you can offer to the customers.
Better plans lead to better results. The key to have a successful business is remain more organized. Many people have great ideas but they fail because of lack of good planning and organization. You will never succeed without having a good plan. Without fixed directions you will be pulled in the wrong track achieving nothing.
You need a mentor in order to establish a successful business. There must be someone experienced enough to teach you about how business is done. Having a coach and mentor helps your company to grow and reach the pinnacles of excellence.
Business is not only about accounts and finances, there are hundred other aspects to look up on. One of them is the legal area. It is recommended for all business owners to seek a legal counsel before executing their ideas. We often make assumptions that legal team is only needed when we get into trouble but preventive legal preparation is very important to avoid prospective issues. Investing in the legal area on the right time can pay a huge return later on.
You need to have a very competent accountant on board. This is in fact one of the most important aspects of managing a business. It helps you to understand what you need to do in order to make profits, what are ins and out of the state and how to manage the taxation factor imposed by government.
You need to understand the level of commitment required when starting a business. You will have to consult many experienced businessmen who have already succeeded in their field to get a better idea of the whole picture. Socialize and communicate with people who are already in your field to get valuable advices. This will allow you to frame your decisions regarding finance, personal relationships and other important business aspects.

UK chancellor Philip Hammond to unveil spring statement: What to look for
The UK's Chancellor Philip Hammond will deliver his spring statement today and will give some upbeat news: The British economy is in better shape than expected.
Hammond will deliver his first spring statement to the Commons at about 12.30pm London time. He's set to speak for around 20 minutes in a much shorter address than many have become used to at this time of year. The spring statement now takes back seat to the budget, which has been moved to the autumn.
Timeline for Brexit
Tech industry reacts to Brexit latest: 'Give us certainty'
UK VC deals set for record year, buoyed by fintech surge
Half of UK businesses fear a post-Brexit tech skills shortage
Hammond will also be without his iconic red briefcase containing new tax and spending proposals — that will also reappear in the autumn.
Attention will today be on the latest forecasts for the economy and the public finances.
John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, said that while the Chancellor will hold on to any borrowing boost ahead of Brexit uncertainties, he is expecting "more significant tax and spending announcements in the Budget in November".
1) The state of the economy
Hammond is likely to say that the outlook for growth is marginally better than it was three months ago, with economists predicting a boost for short-term growth forecasts as the global economy powers ahead.
In November, the OBR said it was expecting the economy to expand by 1.5% in 2017 and by 1.4% in 2018.
The latest official figures from the Office for National Statistics show that growth was actually 1.7% in 2017 and the consensus among City, business and academic economists is that something similar is likely in 2018.
2) Counting the cost of Brexit
Once the Chancellor is done the government's budget watchdog — the Office for Budget Responsibility — will outline for the first time exactly how much the so-called Brexit divorce bill will cost the UK. It will be published in an annex to the OBR's main document.
The UK has agreed to pay obligations of between £35 billion £39 billion once it formally leaves the trading bloc in March 2019.
However, the final amount will depend on the type of arrangement the UK manages to negotiate with the EU.
3) Scaling the debt mountain
Hammond is meanwhile expected to announce government borrowing is now back to pre-financial crash levels. Borrowing is expected to be up to £10 billion lower than expected last year, due to better-than-expected tax revenues.
As a result he's now facing calls to end more than seven years of austerity.
But, speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show on Sunday, the Chancellor said Britain's debt mountain was still too high and had to be be brought down. He wants to get debt down to below 60% of GDP, from 86% of GDP it is now.
Before the financial crisis it was at just 35% of GDP.
Hammond said:
There is light at the end of the tunnel because what we are about to see is debt starting to fall after it has been growing for 17 continuous years. That is a very important moment for us but we are still in the tunnel at the moment. We have to get debt down.
4) The litter levy
The so-called litter levy is expected to be unveiled today — a tax on single-use plastic to raise money and help the environment.
Chewing gum, crisps and takeaway food containers could all be subjected to the tax, as Hammond joins the UK's Environment Secretary Michael Gove's crusade against plastic waste.
Millions of tonnes of plastic are thrown away in Britain each year and a ban on imports of plastic waste by the Chinese government late last year has increased the risk of environmental pollution in the UK.
Barry Pamplin, technical director of consultancy the Packhub told the BBC's Wake Up to Money:
One of the problems that we've got now is that our whole shopping habits and our whole retail experience has changed. People do not visit their shop every day, they tend to go to an out of town retail outlet and it could be they're shopping for a week, they could be shopping for two or three weeks.
The whole supply chain of how we receive our food and get hold of our food has changed…and for us to go back and the change the way that we package food would need a whole shift in behaviours.

Yet Rand was also a high-profile, militant atheist who called Christianity "the kindergarten of communism." If that fact became better known here in the "belt buckle of the Bible Belt," BB&T might lose a multitude of Jesus-worshiping customers.
A more recent example of this ironic contradiction occurred last November, when the Asheville City Council voted 6-1 to allow developments bigger than even the 160,000 square foot BB&T behemoth to be erected without Council review. The sole vote opposing this anti-democratic, anti-community (and, thus, anti-Christian) approach came from Cecil Bothwell — Council's lone atheist. Ayn Rand would have loved it.
Both these events illustrate the central argument of my new book, Liberating Liberals: "Liberals can run intellectual circles around conservatives." This is true mainly because conservatives simultaneously follow a first-century, fundamentalist religion that commands self-sacrificial community, and an 18th-century, fundamentalist economics that demands just the opposite — self-interested individualism.
Conservatives, of course, don't have a monopoly on fundamentalist thinking. Remember the Rev. Ralph Sexton's "One Nation Under God" billboards that caused such a stir awhile back? They came in response to the "One Nation Indivisible" billboards partly funded by the WNC Atheists. Both groups were trumpeting fundamentalist theories about the existence (or nonexistence) of God, alongside a freeway named for Billy Graham — Buncombe County's, America's and perhaps planet Earth's most famous fundamentalist.
Still, my book's premise is that liberals (meaning everyone to the left of Republicans) are this society's freethinkers, following Socrates' delicious dictum: "Know that you don't know." This, of course, often makes for hard choices with no right answer — except that liberals need to stretch themselves to generously empathize with one another's hard choices.
One of the main tools Liberating Liberals uses to combat fundamentalisms of every sort is Friedrich Nietzsche's exploration of meaninglessness. Although liberals love meaning as much as conservatives, we tend to be more flexible about which meanings we select. Just look at our collective responses to another of the Rev. Sexton's campaigns: the "We Still Pray" rallies and bumper stickers. In response, local liberals began displaying bumper stickers declaring "We Still Play … Read … Chant … Work Magic" and even "Pray: Five Times a Day." Yet a true freethinker also understands that excessive adherence to meaning can severely inhibit thought.
Thus, liberals easily saw through Tiger Woods' sponsorship of The Cliffs at High Carolina, an environment-trashing golf development spanning Swannanoa and Fairview. The resort takes advantage of a status-seeking obsession concerning an earth-based heaven requiring only the anemic exercise of riding through manicured, pesticide-laden meadows, stopping periodically to try to knock a little ball into distant holes. Tiger's personal turmoil aside, his "inspirational" message, looming over the interstate, provided an ironic counterpoint as the local economy inevitably saw itself dragged down by the global malaise.
Meanwhile, every Buncombe County commissioner except Holly Jones recently maintained that their hefty salaries were appropriate, as if mocking their electorate's economic suffering. Soon after, however — when the political fallout became glaringly obvious — these same people publicly executed a daring, triple-axel flip-flop. It was Groucho Marx — another of my book's principal guides — who quipped: "These are my rock-hard principles! But if you don't like them, I have others."
Readers of my work know I tirelessly embrace the absolute morality of Gandhi — the last of my book's spirit guides — in ranting against development and population growth. And living in Asheville, I never seem to run out of suitable targets. Among the more recent developmental atrocities are the ransacking of Reynolds' once-majestic, now-mangy Mountain and the destruction of a rare urban-forest sanctuary bordering Broadway and Catawba streets to make way for The Health Adventure's ludicrously ironic "environmental" museum. So I've tended to dig in my self-righteous, absolute-morality heels.
After all, I do enjoy urban spelunking in the new Hotel Indigo, and I probably would have done likewise in The Ellington or Tony Fraga's twin towers — proposed local monstrosities that didn't get built (or not yet, anyway). So should I compromise, retreating into Machiavelli's wispy relative morality? Naw.
— Asheville resident Bill Branyon will discuss his new book, Liberating Liberals: A Political Synthesis of Nietzsche and Jesus, Vonnegut and Marx (Groucho, not Karl), Gandhi and Machiavelli, Sunday, March 13, at 3 p.m. at Malaprop's in downtown Asheville.
I thought this site required payment for advertisements?
Thanks for telling us about BB&T. I always wondered where those capitalism lovers/propagandists were, and where they came from.
By chance, do folks have to dangle cash in front of you in (new world-) order to read your book?
What Branyon does not understand is that if liberals were liberated they'd be libertarians.
Weekly socials are held 7PM Mondays, El Chapala Restaurant, Merrimon Ave.
If I had a nickel for every time the word Free thinker was used I would have a whole bunch of Nickels . . . .
Freethinker is such worthless word, if you have to label yourself then you are trying to reassure yourself of what you are labeling yourself.
Webster on "fundamentalism": An attitude stressing strict adherence to basic principles.
W. on "freethinker": one who forms opinions on the basis of reason, and independent of authority.
W. on "libertarian": one who upholds the princples of ABSOLUTE and unrestricted liberty.
W. on "absolute": FUNDAMENTAL, being self sufficient and free of external references.
I'm still waiting for Bill to explain how, as he has alleged, we can all live well off of what we earn by working 20 hours a week.
I guess I should finish my book.
The real problem, I think, is that we (meaning society) still think of our world and ourselves in a Newtonian way, when science and the discovery of the nature of reality is far beyond that. Our thinking about who we are is far behind what we have discovered. So, I wonder if left/right, liberal/conservative thinking will/should be obsolete. Although liberal, elitist, intellectual (whatever you want to call it) thinking is more conducive, and accepting, to scientific discovery than conservative thinking is. Conservative, almost by definition, is the holding onto beliefs and the rejection of new ideas and truths. Strong belief holds back progress – in a nut shell. Would it be hard to imagine that, maybe, as a species, that we could transcend duality, left/right thinking not intellectually, but genetically? To whom am I asking this question?
@Paul– We COULD all live 'well' working 20 hours a week if we lowered our bills.
How about thinking for yourself and not trying to label yourself into one of two narrowminded groups?
Mr Branyon – The entire premise is designed to pump up your already pumped up ego. You know best. All the rest of us should just pack our stuff and go home. Your elitism is something special. You should be proud.
I recall a wonderful discussion on William Buckley's Firing Line many years back with his guest, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Neither man ran circles around the other and each was representative of the best intellectualism had to offer. What seems more appropriate with this diatribe is that an intellectual lightweight can spout an anti-Christian and anti-business bias with all the bigoted and intolerance expected from a liberal partisan and still, with a straight face, refer to himself a a "free thinker".
And it's obvious here and elsewhere that a conservative partisan can do exactly the same thing. We seem to have forgotten what actual debate and discussion is and how to participate in it, on both sides.
Thanks to travelah and JWTJr for resoring my faith in the intelligence of the user of this website!
Bill Smith: Lower our bills? Move out of the house and into a tent? Ride a horse? Got any practical suggestions? Do please explain how YOU would live well on what you could make working 20 hours a week.
Also, please explain the impact on the job market of all of us learning to get by with less.
Now, THAT's a gem on MANY levels.
It's called not living beyond my means. Not going into debt. Not buying things you can't afford, etc. It is possible.
Also, moderators–What does a guy need to do to become un-moderated?
Rather simplistic, Bill. A lot of people live just within their means on working 40 or more hours a week. What is it that makes you assume that they need to work 40 hours a week just because they live high on the hog?
Further, you have yet to address the consequences on the job market of everyone learning to do with half as much, assuming such a thing was as easy to do as you expect us to believe.
TellPaul – it seems Bill would be ok with half production and the cataclysmic economic repercussions that would follow.
The EU is just fine right? No budget problems there.
Maybe we could all stay at his place.
Should we assume from his post that Bill lives well on what he makes working only 20 hours a week?
Or, is this perhaps another case of "do as I say, not as I do"?
Sheesh, guys. I merely responded to the person asking how it could be done. You really seem to be reaching for an argument I am not making and have no interest in making.
But, believe it or not, one's expenses do tend to be less when one isn't in debt for needless trinkets. But if you bought into the scheme, little will get you out now.
The fact remains that many just get by on 40 or more hours a week, and neither you nor Mr. Branyon have explained how they could be getting by on working half as much or less.
You have also ignored my other question regarding the impact of such a change on the job market.
Well, if it's obvious, why did you ask?
Yes, I did. Twice. It's called not buying crap you dont need and can't afford. Should I be more clear?
I guess in your world, people "just get by" on what they make working 40 or more hours a week only because they are "buying crap you dont need and can't afford".

« Pakatan walks out, will not vote on Assembly Bill
My invitation list to Umno's assembly »
Standing up to bullies
— Jacob Sinnathamby
NOV 29 — It may sound simplistic but the choice before Malaysians in the coming general election boils down to either good or evil.
And we don't have to fear evil because evil can never prevail against goodness. You do not have to take my word for this. Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein believed that they could rule forever with an iron fist. They subjugated their own people, threatened them, killed them and struck fear into their hearts with secret police.
But when their time came, they were hunted down like animals and treated with utter contempt, treated nothing more than common criminals. They will be remembered with contempt in history. Contrast that with meek and humble people like Gandhi, Mother Theresa and others who are remembered fondly because of the good works they did and because they carved goodness in the hearts of everyone they met.
These people may not have been rich, backed by the state apparatus or holding senior positions in government but they were men and women of virtue and had goodness in their hearts.
Contrast that with people like Ahmad Maslan, the Umno information chief who today sought to create more division in a country polarised along racial and religious lines. Contrast that also with the state-sponsored demonstrators who were allowed to disturb a peaceful march by lawyers who disagreed with the Peaceful Assembly Bill.
Ahmad Maslan speaks through both sides of his mouth, a common characteristic of the likes of Gaddafi. On one hand, he makes a pitch and says that Umno members should not hurt non-Malays. And then before an Umno audience he says that the DAP are agents of Christianisation. Who gave this man the authority to denigrate Christianity, the religion of many Chinese and Indians and east Malaysians?
He then went on to frighten Malays about the loss of political power? When threatened, this is also what Mubarak, Gaddafi and Saddam did; they painted minorities or foreigners as bogeymen.
Interestingly, these dictators also unleashed supporters against their people who went to the streets with legitimate grouses. In the last days in Tahrir Square, Mubarak's hoodlums tried to intimidate the people calling for his resignation. They rode horses through the crowds and bashed up leaders of the protest movement.
In Kuala Lumpur and Penang, the state-sponsored thugs come dressed in yellow (aimed at discrediting Bersih) and are tasked with the job of intimidating those who don't agree with the establishment. Today, they were given the task of disrupting the march by lawyers. Like their counterparts in Egypt and Libya, they never fall afoul of the authorities and don't have to worry about being arrested.
And I believe that if we are united in our love for this country and belief in each other, these forces of evil and their sponsors in the high positions will not prevail.
History has shown that the meek and good-hearted, guided by our belief in God, can wear the mantle of victory over the forces of evil.
It is up to us to stand up to bullies like Ahmad Maslan.

Oh yes I agree totally.
Recent events in the mid-east showed us that bombs and bullets could not subdue the egytians, libyans and iraqis. In fact the american learned this very painful lesson in vietnam. With overwhelming firepower advantage the americans thought they could simply bomb the vietnamese into submission. In consequence they wiped out 70% of the vietnamese jungle with explosives and chemicals. Little did they realise that all the atrocities serve only to harden the vietnamese determination to fight on.
So no problem ppl. When bullets, bombs and chemicals cant do the work of protecting the devil, can this piece of sham legislation do better?

Ahmad Maslan is doing a great job for Pakatan by alienating non-Malay voters and compelling them to vote for Pakatan.
///Standing up to BULLETS///
The "Arab Spring" could stand up to police arrests, tortures and even bullets. Look at the Syrians – are they afraid of the bullets? Najib's tough Peaceful Assembly Bill will not deter true democratic freedom believers.

All PR parliamentarians walked out …when Ibrahim Ali was allowed to speak on the Bill.
That itself shows how low class UMNO b politics has become.
People Power against Evil.
13th GE will be votes from People with responsibilities to country and people.
Change the government voters must…to send a message that UMNO b does not own the country at all.
Their dirty race and religion politics and fooling Malaysians…..to steal as much as they can….days are over.
#8 by monsterball on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 12:13 am
Anwar talk about "REFORMASI"…..constant and non stop…..Najib came out with "1Malaysia" …."People First. Performance Now"…keep doing the opposite.
#9 by Godfather on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 6:30 am
What do you expect UMNO to do ? Apologise for the doubling of costs of KLIA2, or the tripling of costs for Istana Negara ? Apologise for the NFC scandal ? Apologise for the stupidity of their leaders in being misled by MCA in the PKFZ case ?
Nah, they won't talk about the scandals created again and again. It's about preserving their right to steal, and hence they must have a bogeyman.
#10 by Godfather on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 6:33 am
They are fully aware that if they lose the next GE, there will be RCIs on all these scandals, and they all have to run away to the comforts of their mansions in London, Perth or Medan. When thieves are cornered, they will come out with guns blazing.

They must sacrifice and make way for fresh candidates.
Pot calling a kettle black?
And Muhyiddin said to UMNO b members…..
"Do not retreat. Do not sabotage. Do not boycott, do not play dirty, do not close the party's office during elections and do not stab people from behind.
Do not do anything that will hamper the party's chance of winning."
Give you one guess…why they talk like that.
Now that the Penang State Govt has decided to give RM100 a month in aid to its trishaw riders, expect the mat rempits to demand a RM60 aid a month too for them to buy petrol to race along the roads
#16 by dagen on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 8:44 am
The (now) Assembly Act will turn out to be a spanner in umno's own works. That is how I see it.
After 55 years governing the country…Malaysians want a change of government and even the biggest idiot can understand the logic of it…..except these UMNO b politicians.
They are now accusing DAP want to get rid of the Sultans….MCA accuses PAS betraying the Malays…this and that…such low class politics.
Why are the so afraid to loose the 13th GE?…unless they have so much things to hide and exposed when PR takes over.
The more they talk nonsense…using race and religion…the more votes they will loose out to PR.
The new 2 million young voters….want change…and nothing they say or do will make these smart young voters.
These are serious patriots.

Evil ("bullies") in our context is not personified by singular individuals whether Mubarak Gaddafi or Saddam or any BN/UMNO politician. The writer says "contrast that with people like Ahmad Maslan, the Umno information chief who today sought to create more division in a country polarised along racial and religious lines" and the "state-sponsored demonstrators who were allowed to disturb a peaceful march by lawyers who disagreed with the Peaceful Assembly Bill." Now why would Ahmad Maslan say (as he said) or state-sponsored demonstrators demonstrate as they did unless it is also true that they have audience or followers??? Therefore evil is, in our context, is a reference more to groups of persons and their attitudes than individual. Attitudes include not just their self interest without a damn to the rest – but also what they say and do to influence and galvanise the attitudes of their audience/followers, inherently receptive to what they say or do. This implies that the singular evil of our time and in our context is prejudice – racial and religious prejudice- amongst swathes of people receptive to racial and religious demagoguery.
[Continuing] if I were right to say that the singular evil of our time and in our context is prejudice – racial and religious prejudice- amongst swathes of people receptive to racial and religious demagoguery, then the writer's statement "we don't have to fear evil because evil can never prevail against goodness" is more a triumph of hope over unpleasant facts! For the evidence of history leading till present day, Evil (in sense of racial/religious prejudice) has more often triumphed over the Good than the other way around. One of the advantages of Evil in its fight against the Goodness is that Evil knows no moral bounds. Conscience does not restrain it. Anything goes. This means Evil has more weaponry. Goodness's main weapon is men's conscience, qualities of fair play and capacity to be rational and logical. These are in greater deficit amongst people in general than stupidity and prejudice whose limits are almost unlimited! Good can therefore triumph over Evil only if Good employs evil methods- an example what happened (te Reign of Guillotine Terror) in aftermath of French Revolution. Now if one needs Evil to combat Evil in order to be successful then its no more a battle between Good and Evil that we're talking about!
///History has shown that the meek and good-hearted, guided by our belief in God, can wear the mantle of victory over the forces of evil./// – Jacob Sinnathamby
What you say soothes the soul like balm but nothing you said is supported by History that you mentioned. There are more examples in hostory of how in any single or series of engagement Evil defeats the Meek and Good hearted. In fact Evil uses the name and justification of God to perpetrate its evil deeds successfully. A lot of terrible things have done throughout history by God fearing men led by leaders of Religions. What have you got to say to that?
Our most recent example of how Evil triumphs over goodness by the Meek/Good is how what you described as "the state-sponsored thugs" disrupted successfully the laywers' march.
The limits of the Good : how many time when confronted by thugs you can prevail on them by appeal to goodness kindness rationality etc? They will pull a knife on you, and before you can open your mouth you're dead! The only way is that you either run with tail behind your legs or you pull a gun (if you have one) and kill them. Evil then can more often be combated successfully by reciprocal Evil only – seldom by Goodness though its romantric and hopeful to say so.

Jeffrey:
Are you suggesting that we all give up hope (capitulate to Evil) or we all arm ourselves, become part of Evil, and fight Evil with Evil ?
Your suggestions basically throw out the examples of Gandhi-ji and Nelson Mendela.
#23 by Cinapek on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 11:09 am
Please do not give too much credit to Ahmad Maslan and call him a bully. He is nothing more than a two bit coward that hides behind that UMNO skirt. On his own he would not the cojones to stand up and declare his position. He is playing to the gallery and scum like him are the court jesters that the likes of Najib and top UMNO leaders loves and uses to do their dirty work. These are the kind of boot lickers that will stoop to any level to curry favour with their bosses. And do not be too bothered with his comments. He is just the mouthpiece for those at the top who wants to make those racist remarks but are unable to do so.
#24 by Iwantchange on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 11:34 am
The only people who are racist and prejudiced is our government – I do see kindness amongst the public, e.g. A Chinese lady helping a blind Malay man down a flight of stairs to the bus stop, or a Muslim woman offering her seat to a pregnant Chinese woman on the train. I do not understand why Najib needs the '1 Malaysia theme' for this country to instill such principles and values into people when we already have it! By extension, why do they fear the Opposition taking over for a change? The purpose of new governance is the better the quality of life for the people, not to seek revenge and shame them or Muslims in public eyes into oblivion. In other countries, when one party loses to the other, they gracefully accept their loses, shake hands with the winning party and congratulate them. Over here, we throw darts and stab behind with daggers. I'm really fustrated.
#25 by Jeffrey on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 12:23 pm
Reference to Godfather's comments, the question of giving up hope does not arise. This is because it is in the nature of Man not to give up hope. That is why since Kindergarden and in all religious teachings one is taught that Good will always triumph over Evil because if it were not taught that Good will eventually triumph, much fervour and spirit to fight Evil will be sapped and undermined. However to have hopes does not mean one let hope be the master against reality of facts. And reality of facts is there is no such thing as an axiom of truth that in contest berween Good vs Evil, Good always triumph as a matter of fate or karma by reason only because it represents porsitive Good…. Often Evil triumphs The fact is Goodness has its moments of triumph, and so does Evil. In fact, although no one has done a survey, there are likely more cases of Evil triumphs because it is not obstructed by moral compunctions and considerations. And also there are more prejudiced than enlightened people anywhere. But when it triumphs no one wants to rejoice or remember or talk about it.
When the righteous triumphs, there is great elation, and we hear and read about it like Gandhi-ji and Nelson Mendela or when Hilter committed suicide but when the wicked rise to power and triumph men go into hiding and don't talk about it or cite it as example. For every dictator who was removed with extreme prejudice (Nero, Mussolini, Hitler Gadaffi) there's probably equal or more of them who lived happily ever after till ripe old age due to natural causes with no one ever talked about them. Look at the present leaders of various dictatorships (Burma, Saudi, North korea etc), and past like Attila the Hun Joseph Stalin, Bad King John of England, Mao, Khomeini Ivan IV Vasilyevich (the Terrible) and many other evil persons (as long as they did not lose in a war against their enemies who exacted revenge). Even Nearer home there's also dictator who is enjoying relative bliss (up till now) free from harm.Here I like to think we discuss facts and not hope and its importance.
#27 by Godfather on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 12:51 pm
If this country had no Chinese or Indian immigrants, and the Malays constitute over 90 pct of the population (the rest being Indonesians or Cambodians of muslim descent), then I would wager that the Malaysian Spring would have occurred much earlier than the Arab Spring. And those evil people, including the sly fox currently enjoying bliss, would have been strung up at Dataran Merdeka. That would have been a vindication of good against evil.
#28 by Jeffrey on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 1:03 pm
If Chinese or Indian immigrants were the excuse and cover for abuses to be perpetrated under the banner of race etc then equally – one will never know here – if this country had no Chinese or Indian immigrants, and the Malays constitute over 90 pct of the population (the rest being Indonesians or Cambodians of muslim descent), it is also possible that Malaysian Spring need not have to occur (much less earlier) as there might possibly be far less abuses by elites due to the lack of a convenient cover/pretext.

Look why so chaotic happening all over 26 arab nations,we must understand today globalised countries where religious differences define their politics, greeds and power, >>>DEMOCRACY has no chance then only will encounter autocratic ruling,experience corruption of all sorts, racial minority discrimination ,religious tortues and all kinds of evils greeds everywhere from top to bottom within their political space .
There is Not a single atmospere of peace

Where Corn Is King, a New Regard for Grass-Fed Beef
Why Branding Obesity as a Disease Is a Step in the WRONG Direction...
New Analysis Concludes Organic Food Really Is Healthier
Grass-fed beef represents a sought-after solution to unsustainable agricultural practices – one that could not only drastically reduce pollution but also produce a nutritionally superior meat
While far from the norm at this point, a new appreciation for grass-fed meat, and all that it stands for, is steadily growing and these so-called 'unconventional' ranchers are now becoming mainstays in the industry
Grass-fed beef is higher in certain vitamins and minerals, lower in total fat, and has a more balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio than grain-fed beef
Grass-fed beef is now widely available via farmer's markets, food coops, direct farm-to-consumer sales, and even online
In the grand scheme of all that is wrong with modern agriculture, the unnatural transition that turned cattle (which naturally eat grass) into grain-eating ruminants is at the top of the list.
In the twisted realm of agribusiness, raising grass-fed cows, especially in the heart of 'corn country' (the Midwest) is now regarded as a specialty industry "for the crazies," as the New York Times recently reported.1
"Where the great cattle herds once roamed, grass finishing — an intricate and lengthy ballet involving the balance of protein and energy derived from the stalk, with the flavor rendered by earth, plants and even stress — is a nearly lost art.
…said Fred Kirschenmann, a distinguished fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University… 'The attitude out there is that grass-fed is for the crazies.'"
Yet, far from being 'crazy,' grass-fed beef represents a sought-after solution to unsustainable agricultural practices – one that could not only drastically reduce pollution but also produce a nutritionally superior meat.
While far from the norm at this point, a new appreciation for grass-fed meat, and all that it stands for, is steadily growing and these so-called 'unconventional' ranchers are now becoming mainstays in the industry.
Change to the Cattle Industry Must Come 'From Educated People From the Outside'
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), in which the majority of US beef (and pork, chicken and eggs) is raised, contribute directly to global warming by releasing vast amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere – in fact, more than the entire global transportation industry.
They also contribute to climate disruption by their impact on deforestation and draining of wetlands, and because of the nitrous oxide emissions from huge amounts of pesticides used to grow the genetically engineered corn and soy fed to animals raised in CAFOs.
The cows are fattened for slaughter on giant feed lots as quickly as possible (on average between 14 and 18 months) with the help of grains, as CAFOs represent a corporate-controlled system characterized by large-scale, centralized, low profit-margin production, processing and distribution systems.
Contrary to popular arguments, factory farming is not a cheap, efficient solution to world hunger. Feeding huge numbers of confined animals actually uses more food, in the form of grains that could feed humans, than it produces. For every 100 food calories of edible crops fed to livestock, we get back just 30 calories in the form of meat and dairy. That's a 70 percent loss.
With the Earth's population predicted to reach 9 billion by mid-century, the planet can no longer afford this reckless, unhealthy and environmentally disastrous farming system. And as Prescott Frost, great-grandson of poet Robert Frost who has entered the grass-fed meat business, told the New York Times:2
"'If change is going to come to the cattle industry, it's got to come from educated people from the outside,' Mr. Frost said, quoting from Allan Nation, the publisher of The Stockman Grass Farmer, considered the grazier's bible."
Grass-Fed Beef Is Better for You, Better for the Planet and Better for the Cows
A joint effort between the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Clemson University researchers determined a total of 10 key areas where grass-fed is better than grain-fed beef for human health.3 In a side-by-side comparison, they determined that grass-fed beef was:
Lower in total fat Higher in beta-carotene Higher in vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol)

Another troubling aspect of grain-fed cattle involves the well-being of the animal and, consequently, the health effect this has on you. Common consequences among grain-fed cattle include:4
Acidosis. During the normal digestive process, bacteria in the rumen of cattle produce a variety of acids. Saliva neutralizes the acidity from grass-based diets, but grain-based eating in feedlots prohibits saliva production. The net result is "acid indigestion."
Animals with this condition are plagued with diarrhea, go off their feed, pant, salivate excessively, kick at their bellies, and eat dirt. Over time, acidosis can lead to a condition called "rumenitis," an inflammatory response to too much acid and too little roughage and results in inefficient nutrient absorption.
Liver abscesses. From 15 to 30 percent of feedlot cattle have liver abscesses, which result when bacteria may leak out through ulcerated rumen in cattle and are ultimately transported to the liver.
Bloat. During digestion, cows produce gas and when they are on pasture, they belch up the gas without any difficulty. Grain-based feeding causes these gasses to become trapped, and results in bloat. In more serious cases of bloat, the rumen becomes so distended with gas that the animal is unable to breathe and dies from asphyxiation.
Feedlot polio. A highly acidic digestive environment may result in the production of an enzyme called "thiaminase," which destroys vitamin B1, starving the brain of energy and creating paralysis.
Dust pneumonia. In dry weather, the feedlot can become a dust bowl, which springs the cattle's immune system into action and keeps it running on a constant basis, ultimately resulting in respiratory ailments and even death.

Virginia farmer Joel Salatin is a living example of how incredibly successful and sustainable natural farming can be. He produces beef, chicken, eggs, turkey, rabbits and vegetables. Yet, Joel calls himself a grass farmer, for it is the grass that transforms the sun into energy that his animals then feed on. By closely observing nature, Joel created a rotational grazing system that not only allows the land to heal but also allows the animals to behave the way the were meant to — expressing their "chicken-ness" or "pig-ness," as Joel would say.
Cows are moved every day, which mimics their natural patterns and promotes revegetation. Sanitation is accomplished by birds. The birds (chickens and turkeys) arrive three days after the cows leave — via the Eggmobile — and scratch around in the pasture, doing what chickens do best.
No pesticides. No herbicides. No antibiotics. No seed spreading. Salatin hasn't planted a seed or purchased a chemical fertilizer in 50 years. He just lets herbivores be herbivores and cooperates with nature, instead of fighting it. It's a different and refreshing philosophy. When cows are raised on a 'salad bar' of natural grasses, the meat takes on different flavors that cannot be achieved with grain. Frost told the New York Times:5
"'When the wine industry started out in California, nobody had a language for what a bouquet was,' Mr. Frost, 55, said. 'Vintners had to come up with a way an audience could have a conversation about hints of raspberries, of chamomile. And that's what we have to do with beef.'"
Farming done in this type of sustainable manner can be incredibly profitable, too. Instead of making $150 per acre per year from a crop that produces food for three months, but lays fallow for the rest of the year, Salatin's making $3,000 per acre by rotating crops throughout the year, thereby making use of his land all 12 months — and maintaining its ecological balance at the same time. This generates complementary income streams for the small farmer and allows them to compete with CAFO operations, while protecting the land from ecological disasters.
Where Can You Find Grass-Fed Beef?
Currently, meat in supermarkets will be labeled 100% grass-fed if it came from pasture, but if it contains no label it's probably CAFO-raised. In 2013, a new alliance of organic and natural health consumers, animal welfare advocates, anti-GMO and climate-change activists will tackle the next big food labeling battle: meat, eggs and dairy products from animals raised on factory farms, or CAFOs.
This campaign, which aims to have CAFO foods labeled, will start with a massive program to educate consumers about the negative impacts of factory farming on the environment, on human health and on animal welfare, and then move forward to organize and mobilize millions of consumers to demand labels on beef, pork, poultry and dairy products derived from these unhealthy and unsustainable so-called "farming" practices.
In the meantime, you can boycott food products from CAFOs and choose to support farmers who produce healthful grass-fed meat, eggs and dairy products using humane, environmentally friendly methods. You can do this not only by visiting the farm directly, if you have one nearby, but also by taking part in farmer's markets and community-supported agriculture programs, many of which offer grass-fed beef. The following organizations can also help you locate organic grass-fed beef and other farm-fresh foods in your local area, raised in a humane, sustainable manner.

Extension Viewpoints: Bark beetle outbreaks benefit wild bee populations
By Robin Young
PREVIEW Columnist
When southern Rocky Mountain forests are viewed from a distance these days, it may not look like much is left. Large swaths of dead, standing Engelmann spruce trees tell the tale of a severe regional spruce beetle epidemic in its waning stages. But among those dead trees, researchers have found good news. Zoom in to the ground cover of these forests and there is life, even more abundant because of this disturbance.
New research led by Colorado State University (CSU) and published online in Scientific Reports suggests that spruce beetle outbreaks may help create habitat for pollinator communities in wilderness settings. The research team found significant increases in floral abundance and wild bee diversity in outbreak-affected forests, compared to similar, undisturbed forest.
Lead author Seth Davis said it may seem counterintuitive that landscape-level damage by one type of insect could still benefit another.
"Disturbances from bark beetles are typically regarded as undesirable for ecosystem function and human use," said Davis, an assistant professor in the Forest and Rangeland Stewardship department. "But there is conservation value in post-outbreak forests; they appear to be the areas supporting more robust bee populations."
This is good news for wild bee communities, which have been declining in recent years. The different bee species identified in this high-elevation study are made for harsh, cold environments. The fact that a natural disturbance can boost their presence is a boon to these rare, endemic creatures not found in warmer habitats. It's also a benefit for these forests, because wild bees perform essential pollination services in ecosystems with very short growing seasons.
A serendipitous
Davis regularly works in high-elevation forests. A few years ago, during another research project with department colleagues, he noticed a correlation between the number and diversity of bees observed and the structure of the forest. He has since opened up this new thread of bee diversity research by combining it with his training in bark beetles.
"Disturbance studies on bees have primarily focused on fire," said Davis. "There hasn't been a lot of research looking at bee responses to beetle outbreaks."
For this new study, his team developed a natural experiment, collecting parallel data in 28 beetle-affected and undisturbed alpine sites in north-central Colorado. They collected bees for two years at three different times across each growing season, and also recorded standard tree measurements and understory, or ground cover, plant data at the collection sites.
The team found that average floral abundance in spruce beetle-affected stands was 67 percent higher than in non-affected stands. The average number of bee species was also 37 percent greater in beetle-affected stands, with more species present in June than later in the growing season.
Davis said the relationship between these insects and their surrounding vegetation may be more complex.
"It appears there are different controls over bee abundance and diversity," Davis said. "Bee abundance was correlated to the floral species, while the diversity is more related to the forest structure, both of which are affected by bark beetles."
In other words, bark beetles directly changed the forest structure, which indirectly improved wild bee populations by providing a more robust food source for the buzzing insects on the ground.
Spruce beetle-affected forests offer a few advantages for understory plants and wild bees. Tree mortality typically opens up the forest canopy, allowing more light to reach plants and flowers on the forest floor. Dead trees also remain standing for up to 25 years after this disturbance. This offers more cavities for wild bees that nest in trees and dead wood.
Davis said he is interested in exploring this topic further to better understand these relationships over a longer time period and at a larger scale. As forests recover from outbreaks, he would like to see how long this benefit lasts. There is also the size disparity between small bee populations in one locale and the regional magnitude of these disturbances. It will be important to understand how well one small spot predicts these results at the landscape level.

Thanks to generous incentives and the size of the market, China has quickly become the largest market for plug-in electric cars.
According to the U.S. DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, sales of plug-in vehicles in China amounted around 550,000 last year, compared to nearly 200,000 in the U.S.
Also, in terms of market share, China has an edge over the U.S. - some 2.3% of new vehicles were plug-ins in 2017, while the U.S. onlyreached 1.1%.
The other difference is that China is more BEV-focused, while in the U.S. there is a similar number of all-electric and plug-in hybrid sales.
