Sadiq Khan proposes journey charge for motorists in London
Mayor says air pollution and climate crisis are issues of 'social justice' in capital and across the globe Motorists across the whole of London could be charged for every journey from 2024 under plans being drawn up to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. The mayor, Sadiq Khan, said London should be a global leader in introducing smart road pricing, as a report found car journeys in the capital needed to be cut by more than a quarter to meet net zero emissions targets by 2030.

Global heating of 2C would cause billions in damage each year by 2050, according to risk assessment The climate crisis will wipe at least 1% a year off the UK's economy by 2045 if global temperatures are allowed to rise by 2C, the government has said. More action would be needed on key areas such as flood defences, restoring natural protections such as peatlands and wetlands, and making the built environment more resilient to extreme weather, ministers said.

China's coal production hit record levels in 2021
In blow to climate campaigners, state encourages miners to ramp up output to avert winter gas crisis China's coal production reached record levels last year as the state encouraged miners to ramp up their fossil fuel output to safeguard the country's energy supplies through the winter gas crisis. The world's biggest coal producer and consumer mined 384.67m tonnes of the fossil fuel last month, easily topping its previous record of 370.84m tonnes set in November, after the government called for miners to work at maximum capacity to help fuel the country's economic growth.

'We started eating them': what do you do with an invasive army of crayfish clones?
It's been dubbed the perfect invader, but the marbled crayfish may offer a sustainable food source and even help prevent disease Small, bluish-grey and speckled, it would be easy to overlook the marbled crayfish. Except for the fact it is likely to be coming to a pond or river near you soon – if it is not already there. The all-female freshwater crustacean has become a focus of fascination for scientists in recent years, due to its unique ability among decapods – the family that includes shrimps, crabs and lobsters – to clone itself and quickly adapt to new environments, as well as the fact that it has spread exponentially. The marbled crayfish was first recognised in 1995, when a biology student bought a bag of crayfish – sold to him as "Texas crayfish" – from American traders at a pet fair in Frankfurt. After becoming a burden to their new owner due to their inexplicably rapid rate of reproduction, he distributed them to friends who, in turn, dumped them in rivers, lakes and toilets, from where they spread rapidly, throughout Germany, much of mainland Europe and most profusely, the island of Madagascar, home to unique but extremely delicate freshwater ecosystems.

Summer Events At the Princeton Shopping Center Are Scheduled for a Lively Series of Entertainment
AMAZING ARTWORK: "Bring on the Joy" is the theme of this colorful mural at the Princeton Shopping Center. Commissioned by EDENS, the owner of the Shopping Center, it was painted by a team of Arts Council of Princeton artists. "We believe that public art provides an opportunity to build community around creative expression," explains Melissa Kuscin, Arts Council program/marketing manager. "The impact of a mural is impressive: it brightens and lifts the spirits of those who encounter it, and has the potential to deliver key themes and messages."
It's party time at the Princeton Shopping Center!
Friday, July 9 (rescheduled to July 29) will be the launch date of its "Summer Nights Series" of concerts, movies, and DJ parties. It will also dedicate its striking new mural, Bring on the Joy, located on the interior courtyard wall between the Smith's Ace Hardware and Princeton Mattress establishments.
It couldn't be a better time to celebrate, as everyone is ready to get out and about after a year and a half of semi-confinement.
We are fortunate in Princeton not only to have a downtown that is alive and lively, but a "village" shopping center, with friendly service and personal attention. And Princeton strives to be a town where the independently-owned establishment can still thrive. The independent entrepreneur is a presence here, appreciated and respected by knowledgeable and interested customers.
Unique History
COVID-19 was an unmistakable and unwelcome presence for individuals and businesses alike, but as cases are decreasing, and stores and businesses reopening, hope is on the horizon. And the Shopping Center wants to share that optimism.
Princeton Shopping Center has a unique history in town. New Jersey's first shopping center, it opened in 1954, and has been a true community gathering place. It was really the first "one-stop" shopping area in the state.
In addition to its wide range of shopping and dining opportunities, it has offered a series of programs over the years, including festivals, outdoor events, animal programs, car shows, Halloween parades, and more.
For the past nine years, it has been owned by the EDENS company, a national retail real estate owner, operator, and developer with a portfolio of 125 retail centers.
Breadth and Diversity
In the interest of enhancing creative opportunities and awareness, EDENS commissioned the Arts Council of Princeton to create a mural, Bring on the Joy, for the Shopping Center courtyard.
"The mural reflects the courtyard's florals and greenery, with a welcoming and encouraging message." says EDENS Managing Director Brad Dumont.
"Our places, including Princeton Shopping Center, can serve as canvases for authentic engagement and for amplifying the breadth and diversity of business owners and entrepreneurs who are often the life blood of their communities."
Bring on the Joy, the first in a series of three murals, was created by a team of Arts Council artists, explains Sommer Hixson, EDENS director of communications and public relations. New designs, inspired by the changing seasons, will be on view at later dates.
The collaboration between the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) and the Shopping Center has been a very positive experience, as Melissa Kuscin, Arts Council program/marketing manager, reports. "The Princeton Shopping Center is a longtime partner and friend of the Arts Council of Princeton. Public art and murals have risen to the forefront of the ACP's work in our community as we tap into the power of utilizing color and creativity to spread meaningful messages.
"A mural at the Princeton Shopping Center was an obvious next step, and we couldn't ask for a better 'canvas.' The expansive, interior-facing courtyard walls allowed us to make a big impact with larger-than-life lettering and bold florals for this Bring on the Joy mural.
"The team of artists that brought the mural to life is an all-female team of local painters," she continues. "Two Arts Council staff members, Maria Evans and myself (both of Princeton), led the design and implementation of the mural painting process. Lisa Walsh of Cranbury and Fiona Chinkan, raised in Princeton, and now living in Bloomfield, completed the team of artists."
This creative collaboration of the Arts Council and the Shopping Center is an important expression of community involvement, and really couldn't come at a more opportune moment.
As Arts Council Executive Director Adam Welch points out, "The Arts Council of Princeton bringing public art to Princeton Shopping Center is timely. We have experienced some very challenging times as a community and deeply felt the isolation of the past two years. Now that we have made it to the other side, it has become so apparent to us that murals can be just what our friends and neighbors need to feel not so alone, but rather energized and excited about what's to come. We thank the Shopping Center for their dedication to hosting these moments of joy and discovery.
"We believe that public art is an asset in expanding our world view, and provides us an opportunity to build community around creative expression."
Adds Dumont, "Cohesive communities are more relevant now than ever, and public art activates landscapes in unique ways that spark dialogue and encourage people to authentically connect. An important part of our mission is to collaborate with embedded organizations like the Arts Council on neighborhood enrichment projects. We are very excited to watch these walls come to life in ways that only artists can imagine."
Art and music will combine on Friday, July 29 (rescheduled from July 9) at 6 p.m. when the mural will be dedicated, and We May Be Right, a Billy Joel Tribute Band, will perform. Spectators are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket. These events are free and open to the public, and will continue throughout the summer.
The "Summer Nights Series" is a partnership of the Princeton Shopping Center and the Princeton Public Library. It will consist of music, including country and jazz to rock and soul, and more, as well as movies and DJ Dance Parties.
"We are so pleased to be hosting 'Summer Nights' with the Princeton Shopping Center," says Princeton Public Library Executive Director Jennifer Podolsky. "Last summer, when we were looking for a safe way to resume public programming, we consulted with Health Officer Jeff Grosser, and decided that the courtyard of the Shopping Center was an ideal venue. We had film screenings, one of which featured a live band, and the partnership took off from there."
Perfect Time
"This series is the result of hard work by Janie Hermann, who coordinates public programming for adults at the library," continues Podolsky. "Janie remembers when the Shopping Center was the place to be on Thursday nights in the summer, when families would dance on the lawn to a variety of music acts. Although some of our events are on Friday nights, we are hoping to recapture the mood of those Thursday nights.
"The Shopping Center has been a great partner on this series, and we look forward to continuing this collaboration as the Shopping Center neighborhood changes and grows. It is the perfect time for this collaboration."
Certainly, Princeton residents — and visitors to town — can look forward to these shared activities and events, something we have all missed for the past many months.
The Shopping Center, Arts Council, and Public Library have all come together to provide this opportunity for enjoyable entertainment in a special setting.
As Dumont points out, "Although the concert series
is not new to Princeton Shopping Center, this year's line-up is an expanded program — as we ourselves begin to stretch and expand our social muscles. Our mission is to create places that breed a culture of togetherness and familiarity, which is more important than ever in a post-COVID era.
"Princeton Shopping Center has been a true community gathering place for more than 60 years —well before becoming retail partners with EDENS — and has remained a vibrant meeting place both for residents and visitors year-round. It is a perfect example of a shared place that naturally inspires people to convene and communicate."

Setting up a trampoline on your backyard patio provides a place for outdoor exercise and fun, but it can also pose some problems. Besides local zoning laws that require nets and padded frames for trampoline safety, you must ensure that your trampoline is set up in a way that doesn't damage your patio's surface. If scratches become an issue, you can move the trampoline or address the specific components that cause scratches.
When a trampoline causes scratches on your patio's surface, it actually represents two distinct problems. The first involves the scratches themselves. As a trampoline's metal legs move across a patio, they can leave marks that are difficult to remove or conceal. The other issue involves safety, since scratches indicate that the trampoline is not firmly in place and moves while in use. The larger the scratches, the more range of motion the trampoline has and the greater the risk of accidents.
Different patio surfaces will scratch in different ways from the metal legs of a trampoline. A wood patio or deck may take on deep gouges that create splinters and cut through the finished surface of the wood. Slate, brick and pavers are more likely to experience surface scratches that chip material away. A patio made of poured concrete can become scratched or scuffed if the trampoline's feet have rubber pads that wear off against the hard, smooth surface.
The type of trampoline you have will determine the steps you need to take to avoid scratches on your patio. Some trampolines have pedestal legs, which are usually made of hollow metal tubes. These legs are capped with plastic or rubber feet to prevent skidding. However, over time the metal tube inside can wear through the soft foot, leaving scratches behind. In this case, replacing the foot should solve the problem.
Other trampolines use W-shaped leg braces, which only place rounded metal tube edges against the patio. While the rounded edges shouldn't leave scratches behind, they can still scrape rust and debris against the patio surface. To solve this type of problem, clean the leg braces or insert rubber mats between the leg braces and the patio surface for better protection and stability.
If scratching persists on your patio or you find your trampoline wearing through rubber feet or mats frequently, you may want to consider an alternate location. While most trampolines can be set up on any level surface, a grassy yard is the best option. This provides a soft, level base for the trampoline's feet and also a relatively soft landing spot in case of accidental falls.

Q: Accessing Twilio SMS Meta-Data? Trying to access the body of an incoming text message with Twilio.
var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var jsonParser = bodyParser.json();
var urlencodedParser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false });
...
module.exports = function(app) {
...
app.post('/twilio/message', jsonParser, function(request, response) {
    var twiml = new twilio.TwimlResponse();
    twiml.message('test body is ' + request.Body);
    // I also tried JSON.stringify(request.body) to see what was in body and it returned '{ñ'
    response.type('text/xml');
    response.send(twiml.toString());
});
}

The following returns 'test body is undefined'. Not sure what I'm doing wrong the request data seems to be there and I can access request.url.
Edit: Question updated with attempt to use body-parser library.

A: I'm taking Twilio out of this equations (it's not the issue here). Also remember to npm install body-parser --save.
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

// parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

// parse application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json());

// listen for POSTs on /twilio/message
app.post('/twilio/message', function(req, res){
    console.log(req.body);
    res.end("End");
});

// start express
app.listen(8888);

You can test this with Postman (make sure you set x-www-form-urlencoded as your body data (or use raw with application/json) to test.
I just did to make sure it works.
I've worked with Twilio in the past and this is exactly the code we used to parse the body.

This guest post is brought to you by Ryan Ayres from The Financial Student, a personal finance site for teens, college students, and lifelong learners interested in the basics of personal finance.
While the Free Application for Federal Student Aid was due months ago, the effects of it will be felt by college students for years. Some students will receive grants that never have to be paid back while others will receive subsidized loans from Uncle Sam. No matter what one's individual situation is, the FAFSA is a key factor in college finances.
But Is The FAFSA Fair?
1. The FAFSA assumes that parents are going to pay for college. If your parents believe you should pay your own way, then their income and assets are irrelevant. While my own parents will most likely help out with some expenses — like books and maybe making a few interest payments on my student loans — I'm responsible for the majority of the cost. Why does it matter how much they earn?
2. The FAFSA punishes you for being a good money manager. The government looks at a family's assets to figure out how much assistance their child will receive. That means emergency funds actually work against students. Same with those online brokerage accounts or owning a business. Now, this doesn't mean that high school students and their families shouldn't save money over the years, but it's interesting how good behavior is actually discouraged! Many people (myself included) therefore recommend making large purchases (home renovations, automobiles, furniture) to lower assets on the FAFSA.
3. The FAFSA doesn't do a whole lot to help out the middle class. The worst off will receive the best grants that never have to be repaid. The richest Americans will be able to cover the cost without many, if any, problems. That leaves the middle class to fend almost entirely for themselves. For example, I didn't receive anything other than subsidized loans. No "free" money. And my parents are most definitely middle class: a schoolteacher and paramedic! The interest break is nice, but the average $24,000 that a student borrows is still a decent chunk of change to pay back.
Despite what's wrong with the FAFSA, it certainly does a lot of good. Overall, more students are able to attend school because of this program. Since the federal government need not impress shareholders like big banks do, the result here is that they can provide low interest rates for loans. But it's far from a perfect system. The best way to prepare for a student's schooling is to handle it yourself — fund a 529 college savings plan or Educational Savings Account if you can, have your child apply for as many scholarships as possible, and consider a cheaper school.
I believe (though I'm not sure) that your point #1 doesn't apply if parents don't claim the child as a dependent on their taxes, that the student is entirely self-supporting. I had a friend whose parents wouldn't even try to pay for her college, and she went this route to get financial aid for herself.
@ CM – this varies a lot from state to state, or at least did when I went to college (graduated in '97). In many states, it's more complex than just not being claimed as a dependent on taxes.
My parents didn't have the inclination (or the ability) to pay for any of my college expenses, but their income still went into my FAFSA. Lucky for me, it wasn't a lot, but I still ended up with a ton of loans.
@CM Unfortunately, it is not that easy. The FAFSA uses a series of dependency stats questions to determine whether you are a Dependent (need your parent's income) or Independent (use only your income). The general requirements are 24 years old or older, married, have a dependent that you support, or being prior military service. There is a process that each school may use to determine a student's dependency status; it is called a "Professional Judgment". The process varies among different schools, but I would consult your school if you had any specific questions.
Overall, I believe the FAFSA is fair. Unfortunately, it may seem like only very low income individuals or single parents are eligible for aid, and while that may be relatively true for the Federal Pell grant, many schools use the FAFSA application to administer school based aid which also allows a lot of students to go to school. So all in all, it is a great tool for financing school.
The problem with FASFA is that now many for-profit schools use it as a tool to access pools of government student loans. Many of these institutions operate as sales operations and try to get as many people into the system as they can with no sensible retention policies. They target their marketing to low income areas and many of these people will qualify for every penny of government loans. In fact, 40 to 50 percent of for profit student loan borrowers default.
The FASFA needs to be revamped and there needs to be a stop of lending to for profit schools until they can demonstrate stats on career placement. Just another market being pushed into a bubble by easy money.
I think there needs to be more of a recourse for students who are out on their own. Perhaps a version of the FAFSA that does not include parent's finances, but requires more documentation to prove that you're not receiving familial help and has more requirements to use. I would think if you're living on your own, filing your own taxes and working at least part time while going to school, that's at least a candidate for being independent.

A Day to Remember (often abbreviated ADTR) is an American rock band from Ocala, Florida, founded in the spring of 2003 by guitarist Tom Denney and drummer Bobby Scruggs. They are known for their unusual amalgamation of metalcore and pop punk. The band currently consists of vocalist Jeremy McKinnon, rhythm guitarist Neil Westfall, bassist Joshua Woodard, percussion and drummer Alex Shelnutt and lead guitarist Kevin Skaff.
Signing with Indianola Records for their first album, And Their Name Was Treason (2005), Scruggs was replaced by Shelnutt in 2006. Later that year the band recorded For Those Who Have Heart (2007) for Victory Records. They embarked on several tours of the UK and U.S. and played at several festivals before recording and releasing Homesick (2009). While promoting Homesick on tour, Denney was replaced by Skaff. Soon after releasing their next album, What Separates Me from You (2010), the band went on a worldwide tour to promote it. Since 2011, the band has been involved in a lawsuit with Victory Records over their recording contract. In October 2013 the band was given the right to self-release new albums until a final verdict is reached. They released their fifth album, Common Courtesy, that month. In 2016, the band released their sixth album, Bad Vibrations.

Q: Are wavelength and the distance same thing? Can you clarify for me the following question:  are wavelength and distance same?
I know wavelength is measured in terms of distance but when we have a look at the two equations:
$$
c=f\,\lambda\\
v=d/t
$$
it actually explains the same thing where $v=c$=velocity and $1/t$ is frequency.  So $\lambda$ should be equal to $d$. So if $\lambda = d$, then why do we have two equations existing instead of one.  Can we use any equation to calculate velocity?

A: A wavelength is a particular distance, corresponding to the length travelled during a period, which is a special time. Since $v=d/t$ holds good for the distance $d$ travelled by a constant velocity object over any given time interval $t$, a fortiori this relationship holds for the special, particular time known as the period. So, yes, $v=d/t$ is how you derive $c=f\,\lambda$, but of course not every distance travelled by a disturbance has the particular significance of the wavelength.

A: The relationship between wavelength and distance is similar to the relationship between frequency and duration, and no: neither pair is the same. You can see by using dimensional analysis.
Wavelength is distance divided by cycles. Frequency is cycles divided by time. Multiply the two, the cycles cancel out, and you get distance divided by time, or velocity.
For instance, if you look at a 90MHz FM radio wave (that's 9 x 10^7 cycles per second), the wavelength is about 3 1/3 meters (that's 3.333 meters per cycle). Multiply them together, and you get 3 x 10^8 meters per second. Bingo: speed of light.

A: The lambda is the distance between 2 points having the same phase like two successive crests the velocity is the wave can be conceived as how many crests for example passes through a reference in a given time you can use both equations but c=f*lambda is used if you have lambda , its proof is V = distance / time , if a crest traveled a distance = wavelength then that is done in a time = T periodic time , OK that means the crest moves one cycle we have by definition the frequency = number of cycles per second so the time required for one cycle = periodic time =  1 / f substitute with it in v= d / t , you find v = lambda * f

A: Velocity is a more widely used term, usable for all moving objects and waves, while wavelength is of course only usable for waves.
Wavelength is the minimal distance between two points of a wave with the same phase. Take for example a sinusoidal wave: the wavelength will be the difference between two maxima or two minima.
The velocity of a wave is used more often in wave packets: a composition of waves. These can travel with a different speed than the individual sinusoidal waves. So the velocity of a wave packet will be the speed that the center of the wave packet will travel with.
In your equations, the d will also usually represent total distance, while lambda is usually a very small distance and remains fixed for a particular sinus wave. But take for example a wave which has travelled N times its wavelength lambda, and did that in a time t, then t will be N times its period. And since the period = 1/f we have: v=d/t = Nlambda/Nperiod=f*lambda.
The properties and formulas depend on what kind of waves you are talking about so I hope this is not too confusing.

A: Sir,
    One has to see the difference : wavelength is the distance of one cycle only. V is the distance travelled per second. So if there are n waves per second , v is the product of n and wavelength.
    eg. If we go around our house 50 rounds per second (n) and one round is 20 m ( wavelength ) we go 1000 meter per second (v). Hopes its clear now

Aims/hypotheses: We recently reported significant associations between BMI and three TUB single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two Dutch cohorts enriched for type 2 diabetes. Here, we attempted a replication of these associations in a large population-based cohort of female twins comprehensively phenotyped for measures of general and central obesity. Methods: Two TUB SNPs (rs2272382, rs2272383) and a third (rs1528133), 22 kb distal to RIC3, were genotyped in 2694 Europid women from the St Thomas' UK Adult Twin Registry (Twins UK) (mean age ± SD: 47.6 ± 12.7 years; 42.8% postmenopausal). We explored the hypothesis that TUB is a candidate gene for late-onset obesity in humans through testing the interaction of the SNPs by menopausal status. Results: In the whole cohort, none of the three SNPs showed a significant main effect on measures of general or central obesity. However, for central obesity the rs2272382 SNP showed a significant interaction with menopausal status (p = 0.036). Postmenopausal women homozygous for the minor allele of rs2272382 showed significantly more general obesity (p = 0.022) and central obesity (p = 0.009) than carriers of the major allele. Differences (beta [95% CI]) between the two genotype groups were 0.92 kg/m2 (0.03-1.81) for BMI (p = 0.036), 2.73 cm (0.62-4.84) for waist circumference (p = 0.013) and 2.43% (0.27-4.60) for per cent central fat (p = 0.027). These associations were confirmed by a sibling transmission disequilibrium test for central obesity, waist circumference and per cent central fat. Conclusions/interpretation: We have replicated associations of TUB SNP rs2272382 with measures of general and central obesity in normal postmenopausal women. These findings confirm TUB as a candidate gene for late-onset obesity in humans.

Via Napoli serves its one millionth pizza!
Via Napoli, the popular pizza restaurant in the Italy pavilion at Epcot, served its one millionth pizza on May 23. "We opened in 2010," said Charlie Restivo, pizza chef at Via Napoli, "and computing the number of pizzas we bake every single day, today someone in the restaurant is enjoying the millionth." That averages out to around 450 pizzas a day!
Via Napoli's pizza's are all made to order and handcrafted by trained chefs.
Via Napoli's pizzas are crafted using methods and ingredients that are as authentic as possible. The wood-burning pizza ovens were designed to closely match those found in traditional Italian restaurants and many ingredients are imported directly from Italy. Even the water used to make the dough is sourced from a spring similar to those found in Italy's Campania region.
According to the staff, the most popular pizza served is the margherita pizza with the all-American pepperoni pizza coming in a close second. Other popular pizzas include the prosciutto and melon pizza and the affumicata, which is made with smoked salmon and arugula.
While pizza is the main attraction, Via Napoli does serve other types of Italian cuisine as well including eggplant Parmesan, lasagna, spaghetti and a specialty linguine carbonara with truffle oil.

Moral quandaries and social fears vie with eroticism when the driver and a lonely woman spend the night with the baby as the phantom facsimile of a family. The film's finale, set in an orphanage, is a stunning, haunting piece of social realism that was to send ripples of influence through the next four decades of Iranian cinema.
El amante bilingüe (1993)

The Pinkie (2014)
Since they were both five, Ryosuke has been stalked by Momoko - the ugliest girl in the village. Her love for Ryosuke is so boundless that she has her face surgically altered to suit his taste - but still he wants nothing to do with her. Ryosuke goes in for fleeting romance - for example, with the girlfriend of a gangster boss. But when he finds out about their affair, he has Ryosuke's little finger hacked off. Magically, the finger falls into Momoko's hands, and she uses it to clone Ryosuke, so she can finally have him (or almost him) for herself. And this is just the first five minutes of Lisa Takeba's short-but-powerful feature debut. Just like in her previous short films, the director - who cut her teeth in the advertising world and as the writer of a video game - throws a lot of genres and techniques into the mix: from science fiction to gangster films, from hospital eroticism to animation. Hectic and absurd, but with its heart in the right place. © IFFR
Longing Nights (2013)

Set against a background of drugs, sex, multiple partners and differing sexualities, Longing Nights follows the individual stories of these young people. A candid portrait of four relationships highly loaded with eroticism from beginning to end. Four stories told without no borders between fiction and reality.
Johnny Minotaur (1971)
Surrealist poet and artist Charles Henri Fords 1971 film, Johnny Minotaur is a lyrical explosion of taboos: incest, intergenerational desire, pansexuality and autoeroticism are a few of the issues he grapples with through mythopoeic, sensual imagery, recitations of his diaries and a philosophical debate featuring an impressive narration by such artists as Salvador Dali, Allen Ginsberg, Warren Sonbert and Lynne Tillman. Unseen for over two decades, this classic of forgotten, queer cinema belongs alongside the films of Kenneth Anger, Derek Jarman and Jean Genet.

Slavery represented a rupture to an estimated 12.5 million Africans brought by force to the Americas between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, 46% of them to Brazil.
The series Brazil: DNA Africa aims to collaborate in the rescue process of the origin of Brazilians of African descent in telling the story of five ordinary citizens who have their DNA tested in order to discover their African heritage. Over 10 weeks of filming in five Brazilian states and five African countries, our Brazilian crew from DNA Africa captured the emotions of the characters as they discover their ethnic African ancestry.

The Georgia Forestry Commission encourages prescribed burning and will assist as much as possible with this endeavor. At times, constraints such as personnel and wildfire suppression can limit the availability of this service.
Assistance with prescribed burning and writing a burn plan is available from your local Georgia Forestry Commission County office.
There is a fee for burning assistance and a prescribed burning agreement is required to be signed by the landowner. The landowner must initiate the fire. The Georgia Forestry Commission is not allowed to initiate a prescribed burn. GFC personnel will assist and can stand by with equipment if necessary. If GFC personnel are assisting with the burn other than firebreak plowing or standing by, then a prescribed burning plan is required. The Georgia Forestry Commission can also provide backfire torches for landowners on a limited basis as available. A deposit of $170 is required.
A prescribed burning plan is an important and helpful tool to have in implementing a successful and safe prescribed burn. Georgia Forestry Commission foresters are experienced and trained in writing these plans. The forester makes a site visit to the tract to be burned for evaluation. The forester then prepares the plan. A prescribed burning plan can also be prepared by any certified prescribed burner in the State of Georgia. The plan covers all aspects of prescribed burning such as weather factors, smoke management, fuels, and burning techniques. The plan also includes a tract photo.
The Georgia Forestry Commission recognizes the importance of prescribed burning as an excellent tool in management and protection of forestland.


The winter holidays can be a chaotic time in the world of logistics. There is a great deal of planning that must happen before the holiday season hits, and it starts earlier than one would think. From the summer months to the winter, one must add seasonal products to the lineup, build an inventory pipeline, prepare for restrictions and delays in the transportation arena, and plan for a spike in returns. Read on for more details of what you should do for your eCommerce holiday prep.
It's never too early to add seasonal products to your lineup. It's important to be creative and continually brainstorm new ideas—and test them. You may find that seasonal products may sell well throughout other periods throughout the year (rather than the traditional holiday season), depending on your demographics. You may also wish to add additional seasonal products that you hadn't considered before, depending on who you are selling to. In addition to adding those seasonal products, you'll want to generate excitement about those products in the off months (read further for more information on how your marketing calendar can contribute to this). The addition of seasonal products also calls for inventory management and the development of an inventory pipeline.
When starting your eCommerce holiday prep, are you planning procurement early enough? Just as the wintertime is far off (or not so much, if you're employed in logistics), the strategy of a pipeline plans the product's travel and destination (your customer's doorstep) before the manufacturing process even begins. You'll want to decide how long the product will remain in the pipeline, and how this will affect the seasonality of your product. How will this also affect the timeliness of seasonal orders? How will this affect your promise to have shipments to customers made in time for the holidays? The development of marketing calendars is crucial to your continued success, and can help to produce excitement about your products in the off-season. Prepare for the incoming season through the establishment of an effective marketing calendar. For example, maybe you are interested in creating a trickle campaign for Black Friday (of course, many companies do this).
It may be crucial to your sales to begin those kinds of marketing initiatives well in advance. It's never too early to start. Begin constructing your marketing calendars in the summer months (if you're in the Northern Hemisphere) in preparation for the winter holidays. You may even wish to drum up excitement through such faux-holidays as Christmas in July—or consider those customers that celebrate holidays during the summer season (such as in the Southern Hemisphere). Think about how you can produce a need for seasonal products in customers through specific campaigns that target their future holiday needs. Think beyond the traditional December 25th celebrations: there are dozens of holidays and celebrations around that period of time, beyond just Christmas.
In addition to planning your marketing calendar, building your inventory pipeline, and adding seasonal products to your lineup, you may want to prepare your company for a necessary tightening of your transportation capacity. Not every year makes for a perfect delivery rate for companies like UPS and FedEx—though it'd be quite difficult to have a perfect year in general: "[f]ailing to make deliveries on time tend to tarnish their reputations significantly, while hurting investor sentiment even more." The on-time arrival rate for ground-delivery services in 2017 at UPS was 99.1%. For FedEx, this percentage was 98.7%. Not every year is a good one for companies like FedEx and UPS. It may be beneficial to look at alternatives to FedEx and UPS as well. You don't want customers to vent their frustrations on social media, especially when the shipping process isn't entirely in your hands—you want to rely on a company that will ship your orders on time, 100% of the time (though this may be a stretch).
As eCommerce orders rise, it stands to reason that the amount of return orders will rise as well. If your orders spike, you'll have more returns. You want your returns to be efficient and speedy, so as not to tarnish your reputation as seller. Holiday shipping and returns are directly responsible for a large portion of eCommerce. What do other companies do about/prepare for holiday returns? Many companies are focused on developing the omni-channel experience, or the ability to move seamlessly from one way of purchasing to another—for example, purchasing an item on a smartphone, and later returning it to the store without a hassle. The omni-channel experience doesn't necessarily start with buying and end with purchasing; it flows into the returns practice and the decision-making process. When all of the return items are flooding back, transportation can become constrained, especially in today's eCommerce climate. That's why it's important to establish a process that easily processes returns and quickly loads them back to the original buyer. Depending on your process, you may wish to streamline a leaner process of returns by including a label with the order.
Here at Evans, we're prepared to assist you with your eCommerce holiday prep, in packaging, shipping, warehousing, transportation and much more. Simply give us a call or shoot us an email, and we'll be back in touch as soon as possible to discuss your project.

• Multicultural Themes – THE SPY LOVER is the story of Chinese soldiers who fought valiantly for a country that, afterwards, refused them American citizenship. It also unveils the gross mistreatment of Native Americans, African Americans, "mix-bloods" and other minorities who served honorably in the American Civil War. Importantly, it is also the tragic story of Native American women – mothers and daughters – kidnapped and raped by slave-owners who used them as breeders of a more "superior" kind of slave.
