Storm's a Comin'! Quick, Let's Put the House on Stilts
Laura Mallonee
All along the New Jersey coast, homeowners are raising their houses. Ira Wagner captures the trend.

Brick, New Jersey
The 2016 hurricane season is already a nasty one. Storms pummeled the Caribbean islands, Central America, Mexico and the US. And in New Jersey, people are preparing for the next big one by raising their houses up an entire level.
The painstaking construction project requires a unified hydraulic jacking system to slooooowly crank an entire house up inch by inch. Over several months, the house teeters on stilts as a crew pours the new, taller foundation. "They're perched on these wooden supports that look almost like Jenga games," says Ira Wagner. "It seems so precarious."

The New Jersey photographer documented 100 homes as they undergo this transformation for his fascinating series House Raising. It features everything from craftsman bungalows to modernist mansions hovering several feet above ground—one with flowers still blooming in its window boxes. When completed, the homes will presumably be safer from the dangers of the sea while enjoying a better view of it.
House raising took off in New Jersey just months after Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012 , damaging or destroying 346,000 homes. New state regulations and expanded FEMA flood maps followed, encouraging home owners in flood-prone areas to raise their homes to dodge soaring insurance premiums. Houses are typically lifted around three to 10 feet off the ground, and can cost over $150,000.
Wagner saw his first raised house in Long Beach shortly after Hurricane Sandy, and was instantly fascinated with how strange it looked. He began photographing them in 2014, driving more than 100 miles along the coast from Cape May to Raritan Bay. He worked with a Mamiya 7 and a few large format cameras, trying to shoot on bright but slightly hazy afternoons. Sometimes while he was working, curious neighbors wandered out to chat. "They'd point to a line on a telephone pole above my head and say, 'That's where the water got to,'" Wagner says.
He also photographed finished homes, which don't look any less unusual. Some owners try to disguise the lower level by converting it into a garage or covering it with clapboard or shrubbery, but the awkwardness remains. The herculean effort and risk almost doesn't seem worth it. "People want to be near the water, yet the water, for all its beauty, is a threatening environment," Wagner says. The homes in House Raising are an unsettling reminder.
House Raising is on display in The Fence 2016 in Brooklyn until September 20.

Q: Is it necessary to show limits of summation? Here is a well-known formula you should recognize from Wikipedia's page on entropy.
$$H(X) = -\sum_{i=1}^n {\mathrm{P}(x_i) \log_b \mathrm{P}(x_i)}$$
The article makes these definitions:

*

*$H$ is entropy

*$X$ is your discrete random variable

*$P$ is the probability mass function

*$b$ is base of exponentiation (usually 2)

And $i$ is defined in the summation lower limit.

I am disturbed that $n$ is the upper limit of summation and that it is not defined. You need to accept the implication
$$H(x) = (x_1, x_2, ... x_n)$$
to properly parse this equation.
In the interest of improving math writing, would it be acceptable to instead write the above as:
$$H(X) = -\sum_{x \in X} {\mathrm{P}(x) \log_b \mathrm{P}(x)}$$
And is this considered any less formal than the above? Is there contexts where a journal would prefer one style over the other?

A: Here $X$ is a random variable that takes values in a finite set $\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}.$ I agree that that should be spelled out explicitly and that it's not the most general case.
However $x\in X$ would be bad notation in my opinion. $X$ usually denotes the random variable, not its set of possible values.

Bipolar transistor-based linearizer with programmable gain and phase response system
Abstract: A bipolar transistor-based linearizer with programmable gain and phase response apparatus uses a splitter to separate an incoming RF signal into two equal components: in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q, ninety degrees delayed). The I signal then passes through a first bipolar variable gain amplifier (VGA) while the Q signal passes through a second bipolar VGA. After passing through the first and second VGAs, the amplified signals are combined at the output using a summer to produce a predistorted signal that drives a TWTA. The gains of each VGA are controlled using an RF power detector in conjunction with a bipolar gain/phase slope controller. Each gain can be adjusted separately to product a large range of linearization characteristics.

Multilayer radio frequency interconnect system
Abstract: A multilayer radio frequency interconnect apparatus includes a plurality of laminated printed wiring boards made of a dielectric material with low loss characteristics for radio frequency electromagnetic radiation. In operation, a RF signal launches from a first signal conductor 24. A vertical transition from the first signal conductor 24 to a second signal conductor 44 is realized by a 3-wire transmission line. The center conductor of the 3-wire transmission line is a RF via 30. The two outer conductors are RF ground vias 32 and connect the first RF ground conductor 22 to the second RF ground conductor 42. These two RF ground vias 32 are isolated from the ground planes 40, 46 which are located between RF signal layers 20, 38. The advantage of this ground isolation is to maintain the 3-wire transmission line characteristic impedance and to reduce disturbance to electromagnetic fields such that a broadband design may be achieved. The RF ground vias are terminated at signal layers 20, 38.

Volkswagen reaches judge's deadline for diesel car fix
| San Francisco, Apr 21 | Updated on: Apr 21, 2016
Emissions scandal: Volkswagen hopeful of reaching agreement with India
Volkswagen to refit cars affected by emissions scandal
The agreement would give some owners the choice of having Volkswagen repair their cars or buy them back
Time is up for Volkswagen to meet a federal judge's deadline to detail how it will make nearly 600,000 diesel cars rigged to cheat on emissions tests comply with clean air laws.
Senior US District Judge Charles Breyer said he wanted to know the timing of the fix and any planned payments to vehicle owners by a court hearing set for today.
That is when a deal is expected to be announced between Volkswagen, the US government and private lawyers for the automaker to buy back some of the vehicles and spend just over USD 1 billion to compensate owners, a person briefed on the matter said.
The agreement would give some owners the choice of having Volkswagen repair their cars or buy them back, but it does not include plans on how to repair the vehicles, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the deal hadn't been made public.
Those plans, and the cost of the fixes, apparently are still under negotiation.
Compensation for car owners was among the details Breyer was seeking, but the judge was more focused on ending the ongoing pollution by getting the vehicles to comply with clean air laws.
He said last month that issue at the very least "must be resolved" and threatened a trial this summer if Volkswagen didn't meet his deadline. It was unclear whether the deal would satisfy Breyer.
The "deal in principle" includes a maximum amount of spending, but the final details, such as how much each owner would get, are still being worked out, according to the person briefed on the matter.
With USD 1 billion to spend, it works out to about USD 1,700 per car. But some owners of newer models who get just a software fix may receive little. About 325,000 owners of older cars that require more extensive repairs likely will get more, because the repairs could affect mileage and performance.
Shares in Volkswagen were up 5.6 per cent in early trading in Europe on news of a deal with the government.
The owners and the US Department of Justice sued the company after it acknowledged in September that it intentionally defeated emissions tests and put dirty vehicles on the road.
Volkswagen told its shareholders last year it had set aside USD 7.3 billion to help defray the potential costs of a recall or regulatory penalties. Most outside observers have said that figure is likely far too low. The company faces as much as USD 20 billion in fines for Clean Air Act violations alone, before paying to fix the cars or compensate their owners.

And it showed a result of 13 dB lower noise than the previous Thule AeroBars. So what does this mean? Well decibels are hard to explain. The scale is logarithmic. Every three decibels means double the sound energy. So, 13 dB equates to half of half of half of half. Therefore it produces only 6% of the original bars sound energy. Basically this means they are virtually silent!
The length of the roof bar is determined by the car width and the position of the roof bar fixing points or roof rails. However, for most of Thule's load carrier systems you can choose between the elegant aluminium wing bars together with a vehicle specific fitting kit or the more basic original classic square bars. In comparison aluminium wing bars are lighter, more aerodynamic and quieter as well as more fuel efficient.
Thule Wing bars have an integrated T-track that allows you to use the full width of the roof bars for fitting all kinds of load accessories. The ingenious T-Track feature is especially useful when carrying several bikes or a roof box and bikes on the roof. When you change load accessories, e.g. from bike carrier to ski carrier, simply slide in and attach the new accessory. You can use the full length of the wing bar, even the space above the load carrier foot, to enable several accessories to be fitted on the car roof.

At the present time, when so-called Islamic radicalism, terrorism and Jihadism occupy major media space, with Islam often depicted as the main culprit, the book attempts a tour de force. It proposes that Islam is as much victim as culprit in the history that has led to the current hostility. This is because the common claims of both mainstream and radical Islam that Islam represents the high point of the Abrahamic tradition, and therefore a purification of Judaism and Christianity, have been largely ignored, misunderstood or blatantly rejected by these faiths and therefore by `the West' in general. This rejection has effectively rendered Islam as the poor cousin, if not the illegitimate sibling, of the tradition. In turn, this has created long-term resentment and hostility within Islam as well as robbed the `Judaeo-Christian West' of a rich, inter-faith understanding of the wider Abrahamic tradition. The book explores these claims through textual, historical and theological analyses, proposing that many of them stand up better to critical scrutiny than has been commonly acknowledged. It further proposes that seeing Islam in this way has potential to re-awaken its self-understanding as a leader of accord among the Abrahamic faiths, of the kind that characterized the era of Convivencia when, in medieval Spain, Islam constructed and contributed to advanced civilizations characterized by relatively harmonious co-existence between Muslims, Christians and Jews. The book focuses on the role that a more respected and self-confident Islam could play in forging enhanced inter-faith relations in a world that desperately needs them as it struggles to understand and deal with modern and particularly vicious forms of radical Islamism.

First things first, I want to wish you the happiest new year. Wherever you are, wherever you're reading this from, I hope that 2018 is everything you want it to be! In fact, let's start with that – it's been bloody wonderful to see all the different countries you guys are reading from. I've been blogging for just over a year now and it'll never not be amazing to me that people actually read what I write; thank you. Towards the end of the year, I wasn't nearly as active as I'd have liked to be – but I intend to change that this year, so stick with me won't ya?!
So let's get the tough stuff outta the way. I can tell you now that I spent the majority of 2017 suffering badly with my mental health. For the most part, I just felt complete hopelessness. I contemplated my existence a handful of times, I questioned my purpose, I fought my own mind on a loop. In many ways it was probably the worst year yet, in terms of how low I felt. I realise that for the longest time – for years – I've simply 'existed' rather than lived.
I intend to change that too.
I do suffer with my mental health – I may not be the best at holding down a job, meeting up with friends or dealing with anything remotely human as a result of that at times, but I've got heart. When it boils down to it, I truly believe that life is beautiful – & I want to live it. As much as depression & anxiety will have me believe I can't carry on at times, I know I can. Because I've done it before. & I'll keep doing it. I want to grow, to learn, to progress – I want to see things, witness magic and be so lost in a moment that the world stops for a while. In fact, strike that, I want a hundred moments like that, not just one! 2018 will be different, just because it has to be. Time is precious, and I refuse to watch it pass me by any longer.
& hey! 2017 wasn't all bad. It'd be easy to drown in all the negativity, but there were people, memories and moments that made it altogether actually pretty wonderful. I have absolutely the best partner in life. He's adventure, inspiration & love all rolled into one! My mental health has been tough on both of us this past year and I'm so grateful that he chooses me again and again. I had weekends with friends at castles & zoos, laugh-cried a lot on my Grandad's 70th, saw London lit up for Christmas, ate food cooked by actual chefs (I know right?!); went glamping, repeatedly found the courage to blog about mental health, and donned my probably-now-infamous brave girl undercrackers(!) to journey & visit my Aunt in Wiltshire – twice! & I really do have the very best friends. I didn't spend nearly enough time with them this past year, & with 2018 being the year that one of my best friends will become a Dad for the first time, it's already so special! I also plan on finally meeting my beaut pal Kimberley who I wouldn't have been able to get through 2017 without!
I've coined this post 'My Happiness Year', simply because I am determined for it to be just that. I've been mourning for who I was for such a long time, rather than using the opportunity to become someone I actually want to be. It's a gift really; a sort of rebirth? (If you're not thinking of Fawkes the phoenix right now, then… you're doing it all wrong my friend!) Happiness begins from within, so I'm starting with me: I'm promising myself self-love and self-care; I promise myself that it'll be ok not to be ok, just as long as I find the courage to get back up.
I promise to breathe; to put my mental health first and to remember to ask for help when I need it. I promise to live more in the moment, to be creative again, to drink more water, to eat better and to put my running trainers on from time to time. I promise to dig my sketchpad out, read more books & see my friends more. I promise to lap nature up and witness 100 more sunsets, to save money and explore. I promise to learn and blog, and do more that scares me, because I know it'll grow me. I'll stop saying 'maybe tomorrow', I'll work on letting go of what's beyond my control & I'll work on not giving a hoot about what other people may think of me.
I will allow myself happiness.
I hope you are as filled with determination as I am for the new year – do you have any resolutions or are you resolving, like me, for it simply to be the year of happiness?
Whatever you wish it to be, I hope 2018 is your best year yet!
Bliss is one of the many foundations that can lead us to success, all the best for 2018. I wish them !!!
thank you so much !!! ,,, that's a honour for me!!! I take with me in 2018 .. I thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This post has me written all over it!!! I see myself in this exact post! This is exactly what I plan to do this year aswell! Your writing is so beautiful, it brought me to slight tears while reading!
I hope you have a wonderful wonderful year sweety, I hope that all that you have promised yourself happens for you!! You deserve everything good!! I applaud you for making it through your bad mental health days, and getting back up and moving forward! Good for you!!

South Africa at crossroads as Mandela hospitalized
Robert Beatty— December 10, 2012
JOHANNESBURG (AP) _ Inside a Catholic church that once served as a major rallying point for anti-apartheid activists, a gray-suited Nelson Mandela appears in stained-glass window that also features angels and the cross.
Worshippers here prayed Sunday for the hospitalized 94-year-old former president, who remains almost a secular saint and a father figure to many in South Africa, a nation of 50 million people that has Africa's top economy.
Mandela's admission to the hospital this weekend for unspecified medical tests sparked screaming newspapers headlines and ripples of fear in the public that the frail leader is fading further away.
And as his African National Congress political party stands ready to pick its leader who likely will be the nation's next president, some believe governing party politicians have abandoned Mandela's integrity and magnanimity in a seemingly unending string of corruption scandals. That leaves many wondering who can lead the country the way the ailing Mandela once did.
"When you have someone that's willing to lead by example like he did, it makes things easier for people to follow,'' said Thabile Manana, who worshipped Sunday at Soweto's Regina Mundi Catholic church. "Lately, the examples are not so nice. It's hard. I'm scared for the country.''
Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison for fighting racist white rule, became South Africa's first black president in 1994 and served one five-year term. The Nobel laureate later retired from public life to live in his remote village of Qunu, in the Eastern Cape area, and last made a public appearance when his country hosted the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament.
On Saturday, the office of President Jacob Zuma announced Mandela had been admitted to a Pretoria hospital for medical tests and care that was "consistent for his age.'' Zuma visited Mandela on Sunday morning at the hospital and found the former leader to be "comfortable and in good care,'' presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said in a statement. Maharaj offered no other details about Mandela, nor what medical tests he had undergone since entering the hospital.
In February, Mandela spent a night in a hospital for a minor diagnostic surgery to determine the cause of an abdominal complaint. In January 2011, Mandela was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital for what officials initially described as tests but what turned out to be an acute respiratory infection.
Mandela has had other health problems in the past. He contracted tuberculosis during his years in prison and had surgery for an enlarged prostate gland in 1985. In 2001, Mandela underwent seven weeks of radiation therapy for prostate cancer, ultimately beating back the disease.
While South Africa's government has offered no details about where Mandela is receiving treatment, the nation's military has taken over medical care for the aging leader since the 2011 respiratory infection. At 1 Military Hospital in Pretoria on Sunday, the facility that previously cared for Mandela in February, soldiers set up a checkpoint to search vehicles heading into the hospital's grounds. A convoy of cars with flashing lights and sirens entered the hospital grounds Sunday afternoon.
Mandela's hospitalization quickly dominated news coverage in South Africa, where most have been focused on the upcoming ANC national convention later this month in Mangaung. There, the party that has governed South Africa since Mandela's election will pick either pick a new leader or reelect Zuma to helm the organization. Becoming leader of the ANC means a nearly automatic ticket to becoming the president in post-apartheid South Africa.
Zuma, 70, he faces ever-increasing criticism as the nation's poor blacks, who believed the end of apartheid would bring economic prosperity, face the same poverty as before while politicians and the elite get richer. Meanwhile the nation's economy continues to struggle amid slow growth and the aftermath of violent unrest in the country's mining industry.
Zuma also faces criticism over millions of dollars of government-paid improvements made at his private homestead. But that's merely the tip of the corruption allegations swirling around the party, which critics say is increasingly tarnished. Text books have gone undelivered to rural schools, while local ANC officials have been arrested and convicted of corruption charges. Others have been attacked or killed in politically tinged violence as the party's convention draws closer.
"It's becoming corrupt every day … and it's growing worse,'' said Sidney Matlana, a worshipper at Regina Mundi. "Things are getting worse than it was before.''
Yet Zuma remains a charismatic leader and still gets widespread support from Zulus, South Africa's largest ethnic group. He appears likely to hold onto power as provincial nominations ahead of the national meeting largely have support him.
Despite that, those leaving worship Sunday at Regina Mundi stressed the need for South Africa's politicians to follow Mandela's example.
It was here that anti-apartheid crusaders gathered to plan, pray and to mourn their dead, a church Mandela himself once called a "battlefield between forces of democracy and those who did not hesitate to violate a place of religion with tear gas, dogs and guns.''
Mandela's own stained glass image stands just right of another portraying a man carrying the corpse of 13-year-old Hector Pieterson, who was gunned down by police in Soweto in a peaceful 1976 student protest.
Worshippers acknowledged Sunday they didn't know which politician would be able to live up to Mandela's legacy.
"Every person has got his time,'' churchgoer Lerato Mhlala said. "Someone must come in and take his place as well.''

Russia Purged Suspected Spies After Trump Dossier Release: Fusion GPS

World Russia Trump Putin Somalia
Russia embarked on a "purge" of suspected spies after the leak of the dossier that provided unsubstantiated claims of potential ties between President Donald Trump and the Russian government, according to the founder of the opposition research firm that produced the document.
The House Intelligence Committee published a transcript on Thursday of a behind-closed-doors interview with Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, who shared his concerns that people had been picked off by the Russian government after the explosive claims of a Trump-Russia connection emerged.
When asked if one of his sources was killed, Simpson said, "That's not my information. I mean, there was a series of episodes where people were arrested or died mysteriously that came shortly after the disclosure of the existence of this information. And I do believe there was a bit of an old-fashioned purge."
Simpson said he did not believe it was "anyone that helped us" but more likely people "taking the opportunity to settle scores or were falsely accused" and "were sources of the U.S. intelligence community, not us."
Trump has denied all the findings in the dossier, calling it "discredited and phony [and] paid for by Democrats."
The research in the document was aided by the intelligence sources of former British spy Christopher Steele, who was hired by Fusion GPS. Republicans and the Trump administration have waged a yearlong campaign against the dossier.
In his testimony, Simpson alluded to potential dealings between Trump associates and organized crime figures, but provided no evidence to support his claims.
"What we came to realize was that the money was actually coming out of Russia and going into his properties in Florida and New York and Panama and Toronto and these other places," he said.
The opposition research director said he did not have the power to uncover the crimes of powerful figures, only to uncover suspicious behavior and connections that might interest investigators.
"I'm an ex-journalist, so I'm not really in a position to prove that anyone's engaged in a crime," Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, said.
"Sometimes you do find proof of criminal activity in an investigation, but more often than not you find things that are suggestive or raise questions."
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is continuing his investigation of Trump's team and its alleged ties to the Russian government.
He reportedly struck an agreement with Steve Bannon, Trump's former chief strategist and editor-in-chief of far-right news site Breitbart News, last week to interview him behind closed doors, instead of in front of a grand jury, about his time in the Trump White House.

Established Medical Schools Lead the Way
Long-established medical schools are making advances in tailoring curriculums to their communities.
Matt O'Connor
Long-established medical schools are taking big leaps in moving toward a curriculum focused on value and communities.
The A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona partnered with the National Association of Community Health Centers to create a total-immersion training model. During years 2 to 4, students are sent to one of 12 urban or rural community health centers in the U.S., where they are able to experience, firsthand, what it's like to care for patients.
During that time, students conduct needs assessments, complete projects around the social and economic determinants of health and undertake quality improvement projects.
"We are training our students to be part of that team that will look at things in terms of community-oriented primary care" and, as a result, complete the goals of the Triple Aim," says Fred Schwartz, D.O., professor and senior adviser to the dean and former clinical associate dean.
It appears to be effective. A 2017 ATSU survey of the class of 2012 found that 53 percent of graduates went on to practice in underserved areas. And of all graduates to date, at least 80 percent received placement in primary care and NACHC-identified needed specialties, according to Schwartz.
New York University School of Medicine, which was founded in 1841, created its Curriculum for the 21st Century to emphasize six essential pillars, including population health.
NYU's Health Care by the Numbers initiative brings together de-identified patient data from NYU Langone Health's more than 200 practice sites and open data from the 2.5 million patients admitted yearly to New York state hospitals. That allows students to experience the same electronic health record system used by medical residents to examine specific populations and also allows professors to use the real-world data to feed back into the curriculum.
Quality, value and safety need to become mandatory for medical students so they have a firm grasp of those concepts when they move on to their residencies, says Steven Abramson, M.D., chair of the department of medicine at NYU Langone and vice dean for education, faculty and academic affairs. "The health system is forcing changes in the medical school for the good."
One of the largest formal undertakings in medical school innovation has been the American Medical Association's Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium. Beginning in 2013 with 11 schools, the consortium now includes 32 medical schools with $13.5 million in grant funding. The purpose is to bring together schools, share what's working and explore new ways of teaching students.
Funding from the consortium helped to get the NACHC partnership and Health Care by the Numbers innovations off the ground. And many ideas that have emerged from the consortium have been embraced elsewhere. For example, Indiana University School of Medicine's Regenstrief Institute's Electronic Health Record Clinical Learning Platform was adopted at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin as well as several other medical schools.
Supporters say the curriculum changes will teach students to adapt rather than react to changes not just in medicine and health care delivery but also in society at large. And hospitals won't need to spend resources on re-educating new physicians about the demands of the real world. "You hate to take too much time to retrain these bright young people, and if we could get it right for them the first time, they would be ready to hit the ground running," says Susan Skochelak, M.D., vice president of medical education for the AMA.

The old trapper and the young woman from the city spar over their very different lifestyles in King of Algonquin Park by Paton Lodge Lindsey.
She wanted to learn more about trapping and living off the land; he was her father's best friend and was willing to oblige. Neither was aware that they had begun a long road to romance. Along the way, the author learns how to make her own canoe; how to tell when a beaver house is occupied; which mushrooms are edible; and many other useful ways and means to live without supermarkets and big box stores.
She also learns that trapping is actually a good way to cull animal populations that could become threatening to each other if they were left to nature. The traps are humane, and the trapper is careful to trap only mature animals. The book ends with a wonderful Scottish wedding in which the trapper wears a kilt . . . just that once.

How to Write a Conclusion Paragraph for a Research Paper Corresponding with the Introduction One can state that the introduction and conclusion are two sides of the same coin. Organize data and categorize the data so it is easy to read and understand. Appendices:Ý What additional material is included? Also, pay attention to how the writer pokes at the reader. It may result in you having failed grades or the worst case scenario, an expulsion. . Describe possible errors that may have occurred. Your name and those of any lab partners.
It is a matter of following all the above steps with the requirements of your professor in mind for you to come up with an outstanding report. How to Write a Conclusion: General Remarks The point is that conclusions of different papers vary a lot. You should complete all of the steps outlined in Part 1 before performing the experiment. You should always be very careful with what you say, do or even wear when you are in another country. For others to be able to experiment in future, provide complete details of how the experiment was achieved.

Essay conclusion sample above may seem a bit long, but it was taken from a lengthy literature paper. However, it is very important when it comes to writing a conclusion for a lab report that reviews the important aspects of the study. Thus, it is always important that you take some time to look through the assignment once again in order to make sure that all the requirements of the experiment are covered so that they can be well addressed in the conclusion.
You do not need to explain the data in this section. It contains reasoning of the topic of your research.

Quantitative data is observable and can either be ordinal or interval. State the effect of the Manipulated Variable on the Responding Variable. You may have a lab partner, but the work that you do and report on should be your own. The controlled variables are the ones that don't change throughout the experiment. Approval of the final product At the final stage of our collaboration, you need to evaluate the final product that our writer composed for you. You can also take a look at our samples.


Our bees and other pollinators are in trouble. We have lost half our bees contained in managed hives since 1985.
Historically (1950's-1980's) loss of 10% of colonies was considered significant. In more recent years, 20-30% mortality seems to be common. Here in the UK honeybees are domesticated, so they are entirely dependent on humans for their long term survival here. Other bees such as solitary bees and bumblebees which are also important pollinators are also in decline.
Losing bees and the pollination services they provide would cost the UK an estimate £1.8 billion a year. In parts of China, humans have already had to take over pollination of pear trees from bees after intensive agricultural practices caused a loss of bee habitat. Of 100 crop species that provide 90% of humanities food, over 70 are pollinated by bees, with one in every three mouthfuls of food being the result of insect and bee pollination.
Insect pollinated crops also tend to be more valuable than wind pollinated crops. Bees also pollinate many other plant and wildflower species in the wider ecosystem, and without them and their pollination services, it would be a much drabber world.
Honeybees face a number of different threats, the most important being lack of forage and malnutrition due to intensive farming practices and loss of wildflower habitat, and disease and parasites such as the Varroa mite here in the UK.
Elsewhere, such as in the US, colony collapse disorder (CCD) which is thought to be the result of the interaction of a parasite and a virus, has caused staggering mortality of the honeybees there in recent years. Much of the honeybees in the UK are Italian imports, and so are less adapted to our environment than the rarer and seldom used native black bee.
Insecticides such as the neonicotinoids act as neurotoxins that can affect bee's navigation systems while also lowering their immune systems. This coupled with depressed immune systems following malnutrition leaves them very vulnerable to the effects of parasites and diseases. Other possible threats include pollution, climate change, electromagnetic radiation from masts and power line, poor beekeeping management practices and loss of genetic diversity resulting from this.
We can all do our bit to support bees. Finding out more about these amazing creatures and all the good they do is a good start. It is a great idea to support local beekeepers and choose to purchase high quality honeybee derived products. Refrain from using insecticides in gardens, while providing 'wild bee houses' or nesting boxes for solitary bees and bumblebees.
Gardens can be created with pollinators in mind, by providing natural habitats and planting trees, shrubs, plants and wildflowers for bees and other pollinators to feed on and help get them through lean times, and this will benefit the garden as a whole. You can also lobby your local MP and encourage the local authority to do more to help our bees.
Beefayre is an ecologically orientated bee based business set up by mother and wildlife artist Sharon Jervis and son and entomologist Sam Gandy, who combined forces to promote awareness of bees and other pollinators and who support charities in supporting the plight of bees and other pollinators, whose actions supply one out of every three mouthfuls of food we eat.
In the words of Rudolph Steiner, "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then Man would have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more Man." Beefayre obtains it's pure and organic bee products from a few select sustainable beekeepers in Romania, and for all our plant-wax candles and organic body and bath ranges, Beefayre only works with English companies.
Beefayre operates from our very own home in Market Harborough, where Sharon Jervis creates all the beautiful art work designs using nature and the garden as creative inspirations. She explains, "Bees act as a barometer of the health of our planet. Protect them and we protect our future." beefayre hopes to instill this awareness into the minds of all that encounter it.

Some Islamic scholars hold that Salafism is an innovative and rationalist effort at Islamic reform that emerged in the late nineteenth century but gradually disappeared in the mid twentieth. Others argue Salafism is an anti-innovative and antirationalist movement of Islamic purism that dates back to the medieval period yet persists today. Though they contradict each other, both narratives are considered authoritative, making it hard for outsiders to grasp the history of the ideology and its core beliefs.
Introducing a third, empirically based genealogy, The Making of Salafism understands the concept as a recent phenomenon projected back onto the past, and it sees its purist evolution as a direct result of decolonization. Henri Lauzière builds his history on the transnational networks of Taqi al-Din al-Hilali (1894–1987), a Moroccan Salafi who, with his associates, participated in the development of Salafism as both a term and a movement. Traveling from Rabat to Mecca, from Calcutta to Berlin, al-Hilali interacted with high-profile Salafi scholars and activists who eventually abandoned Islamic modernism in favor of a more purist approach to Islam. Today, Salafis tend to claim a monopoly on religious truth and freely confront other Muslims on theological and legal issues. Lauzière's pathbreaking history recognizes the social forces behind this purist turn, uncovering the popular origins of what has become a global phenomenon.
