(04/04/2013) On Wednesday, in the Brazilian state of Pará, the trial begins of three men accused of murdering José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife Maria do Espirito Santo, who had campaigned against loggers and ranchers for years. Their assassinations in May 2011 generated international outrage, just like that of Chico Mendes, 25 years ago, and that of the American-born nun Dorothy Stang in 2005.
Tar sands oil spill: ruptured pipe pours 200,000 gallons of oil into suburban neighborhood (photos)
(04/04/2013) Last Saturday, an oil pipeline carrying tar sands oil from Canada ruptured in Mayflower, Arkansas spilling between 3,500-5,000 barrels of crude (at most 210,000 gallons) into neighborhood streets and lawns. Families from 22 homes have been evacuated while clean-up crews have scrambled to contain the spill. ExxonMobil, which runs the 65-year-old Pegasus pipeline, has stated it will pay for any damage, however critics say the oil spill is more evidence that the Obama Administration should turn down the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Has WWF just condemned the last rhino in Kalimantan?
(04/04/2013) WWF-Indonesia recently caught the attention of the global media with their announcement that the Sumatran rhinoceros still exists in Indonesian Borneo, some 40 years after being declared extinct there. This sounds like great news for biodiversity conservation. But is it really?
New giant tarantula that's taken media by storm likely Critically Endangered (photos)
(04/04/2013) Described by a number of media outlets as "the size of your face" a new tree-dwelling tarantula discovered in Sri Lanka has awed arachnophiliacs and terrified arachnophobes alike. But the new species, named Raja's tiger spider (Poecilotheria rajaei), is likely Critically Endangered according to the scientist that discovered it in northern Sri Lanka.
An insidious threat to tropical forests: over-hunting endangers tree species in Asia and Africa
(04/04/2013) A fruit falls to the floor in a rainforest. It waits. And waits. Inside the fruit is a seed, and like most seeds in tropical forests, this one needs an animal—a good-sized animal—to move it to a new place where it can germinate and grow. But it may be waiting in vain. Hunting and poaching has decimated many mammal and bird populations across the tropics, and according to two new studies the loss of these important seed-disperser are imperiling the very nature of rainforests.
Can we meet rising food demand and save forests?
(04/03/2013) A few weeks ago the Skoll World Forum hosted an online debate on how increased global consumption can be balanced with sustainability. The debate asks how a rapidly growing world that is ever consuming can hope to feed everyone, and at the same time address the deforestation that is emitting massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and destroying the world's greatest tropical forests. Many contributors made very strong points—even contradicting one another in their approaches and ideas.
Improving the rigor of measuring emissions from deforestation, agriculture
(04/03/2013) While much has been written about the potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by protecting tropical forests, a proposed program to do just that has been challenged by a number of factors, including concerns about the accuracy of measuring for carbon reductions. Failure to properly account for carbon could undermine the effectiveness of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) program as a tool for mitigating climate change and securing benefits for local people. To help address the technical issues that underpin carbon measurement, the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have launched a new Certificate in Advanced Terrestrial Carbon Accounting.
Featured video: in-depth look at Madagascar's Ranomafauna National Park
(04/03/2013) A new film Nosy Maitso takes a look at the people, researchers, and wildlife connected to Madagascar's Ranomafauna National Park. Apart of a World Heritage Site, the park was established in 1991 after a new species of lemur, the golden bamboo lemur (Hapalemur aureus), was discovered in its forests in the 1980s. The golden bamboo lemur is currently listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List.
Scientists discover new wasp species in a field box from the 1930s (photos)
(04/03/2013) Searching through materials at the Natural History Museum in Paris, Simon van Noort recently came across a long-neglected field box of wasp specimens. Collected 80 years earlier by André Seyrig in Madagascar, the box contained several specimens of wasp in the Paramblynotus genus. The big surprise: wasps in this genus had never before been seen in Madagascar.
U.S. Republican voters want action on climate change
(04/03/2013) A new poll by the Center for Climate Change Communication (4C) at George Mason University finds that a majority of U.S. citizens who identify as Republicans or Republican-leaning independents want the government to do more to tackles climate change. Sixty-two percent of those polled said that the U.S. government "absolutely should" or "probably should" takes steps to address climate change. This goes against the views of many Republican congressmen—as well as the party platform—who largely oppose action on climate change.
Infamous elephant poacher turns cannibal in the Congo
(04/03/2013) Early on a Sunday morning last summer, the villagers of Epulu awoke to the sounds of shots and screaming. In the eastern reaches of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, that can often mean another round of violence and ethnic murder is under way. In this case, however, something even more horrific was afoot.
Conservation gets boost from new Landsat satellite
(04/03/2013) Efforts to monitor the world's forests and other ecosystems got a big boost in February with the launch of Landsat 8, NASA's newest earth observation satellite, which augments the crippled Landsat 7 currently orbiting Earth (technically Landsat 8 is still named the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) and will remain so until May when the USGS turns control of the satellite over to NASA). Landsat 8/LDCM is the most advanced Earth observation satellite to date. It is the eighth Landsat since the initial launch in 1972.
Domesticated bees do not replace declining wild insects as agricultural pollinators
(04/03/2013) Sprinkled with pollen, buzzing bees fly from one blossom to another, collecting sweet nectar from brilliantly colored flowers. Bees tend to symbolize the pollination process, but there are many wild insects that carry out the same function. Unfortunately, wild insect populations are in decline, and, according to a recent study, adding more honey bees may not be a viable solution.
Scientists describe new species of see-through fish from the Amazon
(04/03/2013) Scientists have documented an entirely new genus of fish from the Amazon rainforest.
Sumatran rhino found in Kalimantan after unseen in region for 20 years
(04/02/2013) Conservationists working to save the Sumatran rhino—one of the world's most imperiled mammals—heard good news this week as WWF-Indonesia has found evidence of at least one Sumatran rhino persisting in the Indonesian state of Kalimantan, located on the island of Borneo. Small populations of Sumatran rhinos (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) survive on Sumatra and on Borneo (in the Malaysian state of Sabah), but this is the first time scientists have confirmed the presence of the notoriously shy animal in Kalimantan in over two decades.
Proposed coal plant threatens Critically Endangered Philippine cockatoo
(04/02/2013) One kilometer off the Philippine island of Palawan lies the Rasa Island Wildlife Sanctuary; here forest grows unimpeded from a coral island surrounded by mangroves and coral reefs. Although tiny, over a hundred bird species have been recorded on the island along with a major population of large flying foxes, while in the waters below swim at least 130 species of coral fish, three types of marine turtles, and that curious-looking marine mammal, dugongs. Most importantly, perhaps, the island is home to the world's largest population of Philippine cockatoos (Cacatua haematuropygia), currently listed as Critically Endangered. But, although uninhabited by people, Rasa Island may soon be altered irrevocably by human impacts.
Carbon Management in the Built Environment - book review
(04/02/2013) Carbon Management in the Built Environment, written by Rohinton Emmanuel and Keith Baker, is the complete introductory textbook covering low carbon management for the built environment. Carbon Management in the Built Environment integrates climate change science, design, materials science, and policy into a classroom friendly text.
By 2050 much of the Arctic could be green
(04/01/2013) Warming about twice as fast as the rest of the world, the Arctic is already undergoing massive upheavals from climate change: summer sea ice is thinning and vanishing, land based ice sheets are melting, and sea levels are rising. Now a new study in Nature Climate Change predicts that vegetation cover in the Arctic could expand by over 50 percent by 2050. Although increased vegetation would sequester additional carbon, this would be more-than-offset by the loss of the albedo effect, whereby sunlight bounces off white (snow and ice covered) parts of the Earth.
U.S. book industry using 24 percent recycled paper on average
(04/01/2013) From 2004 to 2010, book publishers increased their use of recycled fiber by nearly five times, from 5 percent to 24 percent on average, according to a new report by the Book Industry Environmental Council (BIEC) and Green Press Initiative. The report, which depends on voluntary statistics from the book industry, also found that nearly all (89 percent) of book publishers have environmental policies.
Poachers enlisting impoverished wildlife rangers as accomplices in elephant, rhino killing
(04/01/2013) Corruption among wildlife rangers is becoming a serious impediment in the fight against poaching, fuelled by soaring levels of cash offered by criminal poacher syndicates, senior conservation chiefs have admitted. Rangers in countries as diverse as Tanzania and Cambodia are being bribed by increasingly organised poaching gangs keen to supply ivory, rhino horn and tiger parts to meet huge consumer demand in Asia.
For Easter: a baby horned screamer chick (photo)
(03/31/2013) A chick — typically a baby chicken — is a common symbol for Easter. Since we're Mongabay, today we're highlighting another type of chick: a young horned screamer from Eastern Colombia.
Is hemp the silver bullet for fighting climate change and creating green jobs?
(03/30/2013) Though Obama has frequently spoken of the need for more "green jobs," he has failed to acknowledge the inherent environmental advantages associated with a curious plant called hemp. One of the earliest domesticated crops, hemp is incredibly versatile and can be utilized for everything from food, clothing, rope, paper and plastic to even car parts. In an era of high unemployment, hemp could provide welcome relief to the states and help to spur the transition from antiquated and polluting manufacturing jobs to the new green economy. What is more, in lieu of our warming world and climate change, the need for environmentally sustainable industries like hemp has never been greater. Given all of these benefits, why have Obama and the political establishment chosen to remain silent?
Jumping the gun? Confusion over APP deforestation report
(03/29/2013) On Thursday AFP reported that green groups have accused Indonesian forestry giant Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) of breaking its commitment to stop clearing natural forests and peatlands. But that's not entirely accurate. What the coalition of environmental groups in Indonesian Borneo actually reported was clearing by two companies that supply APP with fiber, not deforestation by APP-owned companies.
Scientists a step closer toward creating biofuels directly from atmospheric CO2
(03/29/2013) Researchers have taken a step closer to using atmospheric carbon dioxide as a biofuel, potentially helping mitigate climate change while at the same time meeting rising energy demand, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
China's hunger for resources has big environmental impact in Latin America
(03/29/2013) Amazonian forest cleared in Ecuador, a mountain leveled in Peru, the Cerrado savannah converted to soy fields in Brazil and oil fields under development in Venezuela's Orinoco belt.
Progress in incentive-based protection of forests and other watersheds
(03/29/2013) There are two ways to look at Charting New Waters: State of Watershed Payments 2012 - the latest report released by Forest Trends on incentive-based water protection. One is that investments in watershed protection are fast approaching a tipping point - rising 25% from the previous year and with 25% of all recorded investments occurring within last two years. The other is that investments in watershed protection have a long ways to go before they are more than a scant drop in the bucket in terms of world GDP, prevalent outside of China, or independent of government/non-profit aid. The truth lies somewhere in between.
Madagascar's chameleons came from African mainland
(03/29/2013) Madagascar's color-changing chameleons originated in Africa and crossed over to the island some 65 million years ago, concludes a study published this week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Fungi drives carbon uptake by boreal forests
(03/29/2013) Mycorrhizal mycelium, a common fungi that helps plants uptake nutrients from soils, plays a fundamental role in carbon sequestration by boreal forests, reports a study published in this week's issue of the journal Science.
Energy efficiency gains failing to keep pace with Internet's growth
(03/29/2013) Energy efficiency is failing to keep pace with the Internet's rapid rate of expansion, meaning that web use is consuming an increasing amount of energy, warns a new perspective published in the journal Science.
Brazilian govt confirms rise in deforestation
(03/28/2013) Brazil's National Space Research Agency INPE today confirmed an apparent rise in Amazon forest clearing for the four-month period ending February 28, 2013.
Harnessing religious teachings about stewardship to protect the planet - an interview with Sikh activist Bandana Kaur
(03/28/2013) Many religious groups have taken on the role of environmental custodians, citing scriptures that urge living in harmony with plants and animals. Representatives of nine world religions pledged in 2009 to develop environmental programs. The Sikh religion's contribution to that effort is called EcoSikh. With a global community 30 million strong, Sikhism is the world's fifth largest religion. Sikhs trace their roots to Punjab. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Green Revolution — research and technology breakthroughs that dramatically increased agricultural yields worldwide — turned Punjab into "the breadbasket of India." In the past 20 years, though, the intensive farming has eroded Punjab's soil and water.
Scientists find the 'missing heat' of global warming 700 meters below the sea
(03/28/2013) Critics of climate change often claim that warming has stopped since the late 1990s. While this is categorically false (the last decade was the warmest on record and 2005 and 2010 are generally considered tied for the warmest year), scientists do admit that warming hasn't occurred over land as rapidly as predicted in the last ten years, especially given continually rising greenhouse gas emissions. But a recent study in Geophysical Research Letters has found this so-called missing heat: 700 meters below the surface of the ocean.
Is it the end for Britain's hedgehogs?
(03/28/2013) As hedgehogs all over the United Kingdom wake up from their winter hibernation, activists will be carefully counting their hogs. Every year, the hedgehog population in Britain's rural towns declines by an estimated 5 percent. But between 2011 and 2012, a survey conducted by the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES), a UK-based animal activism group, saw the country's European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) population fall a dismal 32 percent.
Conflict zones have higher deforestation rates in the Amazon
(03/28/2013) Areas in the Amazon where there is conflict over land tenure have higher deforestation rates than places where land rights are secure, finds a new study that assesses the effectiveness of indicators used to gauge the success of protected areas in Brazil.
Brazilian supermarkets ban beef linked to Amazon deforestation

(03/27/2013) A new species of caecilian - a worm-like amphibian - has been discovered in French Guiana.
Scientists discover new genus of crustacean
(03/27/2013) In recent journeys to Madagascar, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Philippines, and French Polynesia, scientists from the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes and the University of Barcelona have discovered not only five new crustaceous species, but also the existence of a new genus in the family.
Common pesticides disrupt brain functioning in bees
(03/27/2013) Exposure to commonly used pesticides directly disrupts brain functioning in bees, according to new research in Nature. While the study is the first to record that popular pesticides directly injure bee brain physiology, it adds to a slew of recent studies showing that pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, are capable of devastating bee hives and may be, at least, partly responsible for on-going Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
APP suppliers allegedly slashing forests and peatlands in Indonesia, despite new 'no deforestation' policy
(03/27/2013) Less than two months after its implementation, two Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) suppliers in Indonesian Borneo have been accused of violating the company's new sustainability policy, which includes a zero deforestation commitment throughout its entire supply chain.
2 'giant' yet tiny mouse lemurs identified in Madagascar
(03/27/2013) Scientists have discovered two new species of mouse lemurs in Madagascar, bringing the total number of diminutive primates known to science to 20.
After decades of turning a blind eye, Peru declares state of emergency due to oil contamination in Amazon
(03/26/2013) The Peruvian government has declared an environmental state of emergency after finding elevated levels of lead, barium, and chromium in the Pastaza River in the Amazon jungle, reports the Associated Press. Indigenous peoples in the area have been complaining for decades of widespread contamination from oil drilling, but this is the first time the Peruvian government has acknowledged their concerns. Currently 84 percent of the Peruvian Amazon is covered by potential oil blocs, leading to conflict with indigenous people and environmental degradation.
Cargill to boost investment in Indonesian oil palm plantations
(03/26/2013) Cargill plans to 'aggressively' expand its palm oil holdings in Sulawesi, Indonesian Borneo, and Sumatra, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Researchers sequence Aye-aye genome - lemur is more genetically diverse than humans
(03/26/2013) Scientists sequenced the genome of the aye-aye, a bizarre lemur species, for the first time. The research is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
A thousand soldiers sent after marauding elephant poachers [warning: graphic photos]
(03/26/2013) Eight Central African nations have announced they will send a thousand soldiers after poachers responsible for slaughtering 89 elephants, including over 30 pregnant mothers, in Chad earlier this month. The mobilization of soldiers and law enforcement officers could be a sign that Central African countries are beginning to take elephant poaching, which has decimated populations across Africa, more seriously.
NGO says Malaysian regulators should shut down two Sarawak companies after damning video
(03/26/2013) The fallout from a video by Global Witness exposing widespread corruption in Sarawak continues, as the Bruno Manser Fund, a European NGO, has called on the Companies Commission of Malaysia to "dereigster" land corporations highlighted in the video. The video purports to connect the head of Sarawak, Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, to illegal land deals on indigenous territory.
Extreme cold linked to climate change, say scientists
(03/26/2013) Climate scientists have linked the massive snowstorms and bitter spring weather now being experienced across Britain and large parts of Europe and North America to the dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice.
China may push geoengineering as solution to climate change
(03/26/2013) The political dilemma over geoengineering – deliberate, large-scale intervention in the climate system designed to counter global warming or offset some of its effects – will perhaps be most acute in China.
As massive deforestation continues in Sumatra's Tesso Nilo, Indonesian lawmakers pin blame on 'foreign' NGOs
(03/25/2013) Indonesian lawmakers criticized the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for its inability to stop deforestation in Sumatra, accusing the group of trying to destroy Indonesia's reputation abroad and hurting the country's economy.
Humans killed over 10 percent of the world's bird species when they colonized the Pacific Islands
(03/25/2013) Around 4,000 years ago intrepid Polynesian seafarers made their way into an untamed wilderness: the far-flung Pacific Islands. Over a thousands or so years, they rowed from one island to another, stepping on shores never yet seen by humans. While this vast colonization brought about a new era of human history, it also ended the existence of well-over a thousand bird species according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Indigenous protester killed by masked assailants in Panama over UN-condemned dam
(03/25/2013) A Ngäbe indigenous Panamanian, Onesimo Rodriguez, opposing the Barro Blanco hydroelectric dam project was killed last Friday evening by four masked men. His body was then thrown into a nearby stream where it was discovered the following day. Onesimo Rodriguez was attacked with a companion in Las Nubes, after they had attended a demonstration in Cerro Punta, Bugaba, against the dam. His companion, whose identity is being withheld for security reasons, received serious injuries but managed to escape and is having his injuries tended to by the local indigenous community.

MIDDLEBURY — Remember Stella Leiback, an elderly woman from New Mexico who sued McDonald's for upwards of $2 million after spilling a cup of scalding hot coffee on her lap at a drive-through? If so, you may also remember that the media worked itself into a tizzy over the Leiback case, which became something of a poster child for what some Americans perceived to be a rising trend of frivolous lawsuits.
If you don't remember, don't worry — most of what the media reported, including the $2 million figure, was inaccurate.
MIDDLEBURY — Local social service agencies, civic clubs, clergy and individuals have begun their annual efforts to ensure that every Addison County family has access to a nice meal and a gift for their children this holiday season.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Gas Systems next month will ask the state utility regulator, the Public Service Board, to review plans for its proposed pipeline expansion into Middlebury and Vergennes. In the meantime it will begin contacting the owners of around 200 parcels through which the new conduit would travel.
WHITING/BRANDON — In the wake of two fatal human cases of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), Vermont Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD, and experts from the Health Department and the Agency of Agriculture will discuss EEE and mosquito control at three informational meetings beginning later this week.
The meetings will be:
• Nov. 15, 6-8 p.m., at the Whiting Town Hall.

ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County balloting in the Presidential race on Tuesday mirrored statewide voting, as Vermont became the first state in the nation placed in Democratic President Barack Obama's column in his march toward a second term.
Meanwhile, county voters also backed winners in all statewide contests. Eric Davis, a political analyst and a professor emeritus of political science at Middlebury College, noted how closely local balloting tracked with statewide results in what he called a big day for Democrats across Vermont.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County, Huntington and Buel's Gore voters on Tuesday overwhelming endorsed incumbent Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, for a fifth term in office and also elected New Haven Democrat Chris Bray to represent them in the Legislature's highest chamber.
Ayer, the former Senate majority whip and current chairwoman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, was the top vote-getter, notching 12,943 tallies. Bray, the former Addison-5 state representative and 2010 candidate for lieutenant governor, finished second, with 9,915 votes.
MIDDLEBURY — World War II veteran Ron Hadley of Middlebury has condensed many of his military memories into a couple of photo albums and a small booklet in which he wrote some of the details of his travels throughout the Atlantic and the Pacific.

College students represent one of the largest, most appealing – and elusive – consumer segments for marketers and brands. By establishing loyalty with college consumers early on, brands have the potential to gain loyal, lifelong customers. However, college students are increasingly difficult to reach - their expectations of brands are high, their needs as consumers are evolving, and they are extremely territorial and protective of their college community. So how exactly can brands reach and make a positive impact on today's college market?Read more »

The upheaval in the Arab world has radically changed the fabric of society there. The Arab Spring has been followed by a shift in affinities towards people's kinship and religion. Moreover, the recent civil war in Syria has shown that Arab solidarity is a myth. An essay by Sami MahroumMore
In this essay, Sami Mahroum takes a closer look at the genesis, dynamics and impact of crowds in particular in the Arab world, where crowds – both spontaneous and those born through social media – have been shaping political processes since before the Arab SpringMore
Every year, groups of Shia men parade through the centre of Nabatiyeh, where Lebanon's major Ashura rituals take place. These rituals include the controversial bloodletting rite known as "tatbir". Although frowned upon by religious and political authorities, Shia communities still practice tatbir as a vital part of their communal act of mourning Imam Hussein, who was martyred at the pivotal Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.

Florence + The Machine Get "Addicted To Love"
Florence + the Machine's cover of "Addicted to Love" has been a regular on, oh, pretty much every mix CD I've made in the past six months. Something about Florence Welch's voice just turns this classic '80s track inside out. And then today, PopWrap posted a photo showing Florence in front of the iconic Robert Palmer girls. It's not just a Photoshop job—the women are still in black with red lips and white guitars, but their styling has been updated for 2010, complete with Snooki poufs and strapless dresses. Which leads me to think: maybe a video is in the works for the Florence version? I am crossing my fingers that this is the case. After the jump, the original "Addicted to Love" video. Just because.

John MacArthur's criticism against the Charismatic movement during his "Strange Fire" conference sparked a debate among Christians. But some people still don't know what the Charismatic Movement exactly is. Do you have anything that you know about Charismatic Movement and you think others may not know? Please share with us.
Russell Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, has recently said "Christians in the United States have too often been only concerned about religious freedom for themselves, rather than fighting for religious freedom for all" at recently the symposium, "Faith, Culture & Religious Freedom in the 21st Century." Do you agree with his statement? What is your opinion on this matter? We want to hear your voice! Please share with us.

Movie Characters Perform "Baby Got Back"by Free Britney at . Comments
A collection of movie characters from at least 200 films recently came together - or were spliced together by one dedicated fan - to "perform" an unforgettable version of Sir Mix-a-Lot's seminal hip hop smash "Baby Got Back."
Brilliantly played, Internet. Brilliantly played.
The video is similar to the one of Obama singing "Sexy and I Know It" in that every word is accounted for seamlessly, only in this case, using hundreds of films.
A true work of genius. No matter how many films you see or how much movie news you read, you'd be hard pressed to nail even half of those clips.
I still think that this is playing too ceoslly to fans of the novel and needs to be broadened a bit more to play to the people Lionsgate really must convince, and I felt that the I volunteer as tribute moment was a tad stiff, but the studio has plenty of time to work on the former and the latter probably works better in full context. So I'm strangely excited. Considering this read a lot like Winter's Bone meets Battle Royale, it feels like its own thing, and I'm a fan of the casting choices though I know little and less of Hemsworth. In other words, I'm looking forward to March.

EDMONTON - It is the big enchilada among Alberta's culinary events, so, quite fittingly, an unprecedented amount of ethnic delicacies was consumed at Edmonton's annual Heritage Festival on the weekend.
By the time the three-day gathering at Hawrelak Park concluded Monday night, all but a handful of the 3.6 million food tickets available had been expended on menu items as diverse as biryanis from Bangladesh, chacareros from Chile, kebabs from Kurdistan and samosas from Sudan.
"Every year, we increase our number of food tickets and think we have enough and come close to selling out," Jack Little, the festival's executive director, said. "I think next year we will print four million and forego the heartburn."
The Chinese pavilion reported peddling 4,200 bowls of Shanghai noodles and 2,500 green onion cakes, the Afghans sold 7,000 skewers of marinated beef; the Croatian contingent went through 10 lambs and five pigs; and the Cubans, God love them, disposed of 4,680 pounds of ice making pina coladas.
With the weather mostly co-operating, attendance was estimated at 350,000 foodies, matching the record turnout last year.
A few rain showers Monday afternoon failed to discourage the crowd from visiting 60 pavilions offering appetizers and entrees from 85 nations.
"It didn't dampen anybody's spirits, but it put my heart in my throat for a while," Little said.
The blended beans with palm oil and barbecue pork from Cameroon, the only new pavilion this year, met with great approval, as did a festival baby-care centre where mothers of newborns changed diapers and breastfed while chewing the fat.
"It looks like we hit a home run with that," Little said. "Twice today, they had lineups."
Planning has already begun for next year's festival, even as workers begin the three-day task of tearing down the infrastructure, It takes five days to set up.
Little said one area of possible concern never materialized — no conflict reported between any nations.
There was no time for discord, between sampling blinis from Russia and bowls of borscht from Ukraine.
350,000: Attendance over three days
3.6 million: Food tickets sold
300: Hours of live entertainment
7,000: Shami kabobs sold by Afghanistan pavilion
4,680: Pounds of ice the Cubans used to make pina coladas
4,200: Bowls of Shanghai noodles sold by Chinese pavilion

ATTORNE spaced holes formed in the disk within the mirrnn STATES PATENT OFFICE.
No. 907,735. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 29, 1908.
Application filed November 8, 1907. Serial No. 401,226.
To all whom-it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES 0. GAIN, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing in borough of Brooklyn, city of New York, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Drill-Jigs, of which the followlngris a specification.
his invention relates to a jig or appliance for facilitating the operation of drilling shafts, studs and analogous articles.
The object of the invention is to provide simple and inexpensive means for enabling a hole of any desired size to be drilled transversely in a shaft, stud or like article.
In carrying out my invention, I form a V- groove in a block to receive the shaft to be drilled, and I mount upon said block a disk having around its border a succession of drill guiding holes of graduated diameters, any one of which may be brought into line with the center of the shaft to be drilled, the disk length to accommodate the vertical adjustments of the disk.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of a drill-jig emb Inents. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan of the block. Fig. 4
is an end elevation of the jig, showing a drill 1 guide in the disk and penetrating the work.
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation illustrating the manner of mounting the disk.
. In a block 1 of metal is cut a V-groove 2 to receive the shaft or other work 3 which is to be drilled. Any other form of work holder or support may be usedin place of the V- groove, within the scope of the invention.
or border a circular series 5 of drill holes of graduated sizes, is pivotally mounted upon the block, the disk or pivot-hole 6 to fit upon a cylindrical neck 7 of a collar 8, which is threaded or otherwise secured upon a shank 9 of a screw, the latter being revolubly mounted for this purpose. haylng a linger-piece or head 10. The collar I provide means for indexing the disk, to in- 8 fits snugly in a vertical pivot hole 11 formed sure accuracy in positioning the drill guiding in the center of the block, and the projecting hole centrally of the shaft or of the V-groove which holds the shaft, and I also provide means for clamping the disk down upon the shaft or work.
In the preferred manner of practicing the invention, grooves are formed upon opposite sides of the block, and the disk overhangs threaded lower end of the screw 9-is threaded into a central hole 12 extending through the block below'the depression 11. The disk 4 is loosely confined between a shoulder 13 formed upon the upper end of the collar, and a flange 14 formed on the screw.
In the block is formed, at a point remote both grooves, so that it may be used in confrom the groove 2, a deep vertical hole or nection with either of them. These grooves seat 15 to receive a positioning or index pin are of different capacities, to suit either small 16, passing down through the disk and havwork or large work. A third groove, which ing a head 17 above the same. Said pin 16 is distinguished from the others in being ramay pass through any of a circular series of dial instead of tangential, may be formed holes 18 formed at equal angular intervals half way between the other grooves to extend from the edge of the block towards the axis about which the disk revolves. This third groove accommodates the shanks of screws or other headed articles. A single indexing device positions the disk to cooperate with all three grooves. The indexing device preferably comprises a circular series of evenly in the disk within the circular series of drill guiding holes 5. It will be understood that when the pin 16 registers one of the holes 18 with the hole 15, the corresponding drill guiding hole 5 occupies the proper position for guiding a drill to the center of a cylindrical shaft-3 placed in the work holder 2.
In operation the thumb piece 10 may be turned to unscrew and screw 9 and raise the disk 4, the latter being moved by the shoulder 13, which raises with its screw. Then shaft or other work 3 is placed in the groove 2, and the disk 4 is ro circle of drill guiding holes, and a single vertical pin which may be passed down through any of the index holes into adeep hole or seat odying my improve- A horizontal disk 4, having around its ed e having a central aperture.

In one end of the block may be formed a short groove 21, this groove being radial or extending from the edge of the block to the axis about which the disk 4 revolves; the grooves 2 and 20 being tangential to the cir This short groove 21 will accommodate the shank 22 of a headed screw or other headed device, and any of the drill guiding holes 5 may be brought into register with the central line of the groove 21. The single index pin 16 serves to position the disk for drilling work placed in any one of the three grooves. Preferably the mdex holes 18 are placed at intervals of about nine degrees, and are forty in number; the drill guiding holes 5 being laced in the same manner. lhe pivot of the arbor 4 being half way between the centers of the grooves 2 and 20, and the central line of the parallel groove 21 assing through the center of said ivot, it to ows that when any drill guiding ole is in register with either of the three grooves, two other drill guiding holes are in register with the other two grooves; the central .lines of the outer grooves touching the circular drill iding holes at opposite points, each of WlllOll is separated by ninety ees from the center hne of the'groove 21. If desired, the indexing holes may be numbered, as illustrated at Fig. 1, for convenience in adjusting the disk.
Variations may be resorted to within the scope of the invention, and portions of the imlpIrovements may be used without others.
aving thus described my invention, I claim:
1. The combination with a block provided with a v-groove to position the work, of a drill guide in the form of a disk revolubly 'mounted upon said block with its edge portion overhanging said groove, and having in said edge portion a circular series of holes to guide thedrills to the work, and means 3.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.
