Friday Offcuts 21 November 2014
Click to Subscribe - It's FREE!The New Zealand leg of the ForestTECH 2014 series finished in Rotorua yesterday. Today, we've got a number of resource foresters involved with a follow-up introductory course on working with and processing LiDAR datasets. Around 280 resource and forest planners from throughout this region (as well as Uruguay, Canada, the US, Ireland and Indonesia) are attending this technology series.
Remember for the Australian event next week, a special half day open forum has been set up for the second half of ForestTECH 2014 on Wednesday 26 November. It's been organised by the Forestry Corporation of NSW (with input from HQPlantations, Forestry Tasmania, HVP, NSW Department of Primary Industries and the Canadian Forest Service). It's designed for operational foresters across the country to discuss and share their experiences on the practical application of LiDAR and remote sensing technologies for mapping, planning, harvesting operations and forest estate management. For those still interested in attending next week, details can be found on the event website, www.foresttech.events
Other news this week. New Zealand is off track - and well off track - according to a recent Government briefing on its carbon-reduction efforts. Although aiming for an emissions reduction target of 50 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050, the country's emissions have actually increased since 1990. They're still continuing to climb. In fact it's argued that New Zealand's annual net emissions, including forestry, will rise rapidly to over 100 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2025 - an increase of more than 50 per cent above 1990 levels. Current policy settings obviously aren't working.
On the economic front, the very contentious softwood lumber trade issue between the US and Canada (you'll remember this one) may again this year raise its ugly head. A nine year truce was called in 2006 on tariffs being collected on Canadian lumber. US lumber producers have continued to argue that Canadian lumber companies are being unfairly subsidized. The deal's due to expire on 12 October next year and with US housing starts heating up, the heat undoubtedly is going to be put back on this historic trade grievance (see story below).
In China, housing starts and home prices remain subdued. The property sector according to the analysts is still the weakest part of China's economy. Although the Government has relaxed some controls such as cutting mortgage rates recently and providing cheaper loans to second-home buyers, it's going to take some time for the build-up of unsold homes to be worked through. This in turn, is likely to depress demand for raw materials in the short term and keep up the pressure on the country's labour markets. Further details will follow in future issues. Enjoy this week's read.
This week we have for you:
Growth forecasts for wood-plastic compositesWoodplastic and plastic decking is forecast to have the strongest market growth in the US over the next four years, but wood will remain the main material, according to market research company Freedonia's latest market outlook (Wood & Competitive Decking, Study).
The outlook for tropical hardwood use in decking is positive. Even when overall decking demand declined during the downturn in the housing market, demand for tropical hardwood decking grew. Homeowners look for low maintenance materials, and tropical hardwoods offer a natural, attractive appearance compared to plastic or wood plastic composite. Tropical hardwood decking is also known to perform well in the long term, while wood plastic composites had performance issues in the past.
Overall demand for decking is forecast to grow 2.4% per year between 2013 and 2018. Total demand is estimated at US$6.5 billion in 2018, equivalent to 3.5 billion linear feet of decking. The strongest demand growth will be in wood plastic composite and plastic decking.
Performance and looks of both types of decking have improved in recent years with the arrival of capstock-coated composite decking and cellular PVC decking (as profiled at the recent FIEA Wood Innovations 2014 technology series run for local wood producers in September). High-end composite and plastic decking is at a similar price level as tropical wood decking.
The majority of decking will continue to be wood due to the lower price of treated softwood decking and the large number of existing wooden decks that are often renovated with the same material. About 80% of decking by volume will be treated softwood and tropical hardwood by 2018.
Freedonia predicts an annual growth of 1.1% for wood decking. Residential decking accounts for about 60% of the market which is forecast to grow 2.7% annually driven by higher housing starts and deck renovations. The trend towards larger decks and greater outdoor living space also supports growth in decking demand.
NZ under pressure to reduce carbon emissionsNew Zealand is "off track" in transitioning to a low-carbon future amid increasing international pressure to slash emissions, according to a Government briefing. The inter-ministry Natural Resources Sector briefing to incoming ministers, just released, spelt out New Zealand's position and targets around climate change and carbon-reduction efforts.
Key challenges included undertaking responsible growth to meet international expectations, adapting to the range of expected impacts that would affect infrastructure, biodiversity, biosecurity and the primary sectors, and transitioning to a low carbon economy.
Although New Zealand had gazetted an emissions reduction target of 50 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050, the country's emissions had increased since 1990 and continued to rise. "However, we are off track in transitioning to a low carbon future, and there is increasing international pressure to reduce emissions," the briefing said.
Decisions were needed on the best policy mix for New Zealand to achieve the transition, which would include carbon pricing and regulatory measures to cut emissions in New Zealand and buying carbon credits overseas.
Climate change policy had strong dependencies on transport, energy, forestry and agricultural policy, all of which needed to be "better aligned". The briefing described New Zealand's emissions as small globally, although the country ranked 22nd highest in the world on a per capita basis. More >>
New directors for FWPAThree new directors were unanimously elected to the board of Forest and Wood Products Australia Limited (FWPA) at its recent annual general meeting (AGM). Candidates to the FWPA Board are selected by an arms-length director selection committee, which includes representatives from four national associations. The candidates that were nominated, and then elected by the company members, were Mr Jim Henneberry, Mr Brian Farmer and Ms Christine Briggs.
Jim Henneberry is the former CEO of Australian Paper and has held CEO and Director positions with Carter Holt Harvey, International Paper and other international companies. He has a strong global track record of leading large complex, private and public businesses and in balancing an operational focus with strong strategic leadership.
Brian Farmer is the current CEO of HQ Plantations and a member of FWPA. His responsibilities include strategic development and management of the company's resources through leadership and sound policy advice to the Board and investors.
Christine Briggs is General Manager, Marketing and Business Development for Timberlink Australia, a member of FWPA. She will bring high-level sales and marketing skills to the Board, having held senior roles in these areas with major timber manufacturing businesses.
At a subsequent board meeting, the directors re-elected Ron Adams as Chair and John Simon as Deputy Chair.
Forest Industry Safety Summit 2015In November 2013, the Forest Industry Safety Summit (which ran in conjunction with The Steep Slope Wood Harvesting Conference) in Rotorua SOLD OUT attracting over 400 forest managers, forest owners, harvest planners, transport operators and forestry contractors from several countries. At the time the New Zealand industry was grappling with the size of the problem. Many people had started to focus on ways to make our industry safer.
Following the release of the Independent Forest Safety Review panel recommendations there's a lot of work to do be done to implement potential solutions and planning a programme for change. As the organisers of this Forest Industry Safety Summit, FIEA plans to be an integral part of bringing people together to boost the motivation and communication for change.
For March 2015 the Forest industry Safety Summit will advance the discussion of safety solutions with an expanded line-up of specialists from both the USA and Canada. The focus will be on though people within New Zealand and Australia - bringing commercial and industry-wide funded solutions to the forestry sectors in both countries.
For 2015 FIEA will also be widening the coverage of forestry safety to include topics of interest to those working in log transport and forest and rural fire-fighting.
NOTE: The programmes for both events have just been uploaded to the event website, www.forestsafety2015.com Check them out.
Australian wasp to safeguard SA's commercial forestsOne small Australian wasp is killing another tiny Australian wasp in South Africa's commercial forests – and it is a good thing. Leptocybe invasa, the bad guy in this story, was first spotted in Eucalyptus trees outside its native Australia in 2000, in Israel, says the University of Pretoria (UP) Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute's (FABI's) Professor Bernard Slippers.
The tiny wasps and their eggs hijack the trees in order to feed on them. These trees, full of 'cancerous' growths, never grow to their full potential, and become like a shrub, or, in some cases, die. As the wasp cannot fly far on its own, it must have entered Israel through plant material, such as timber, nursery stock, and florist industry products.
Since 2000 Leptocybe invasa has spread to Eucalyptus plantations across the world, including South Africa, says Slippers. It has managed to close down some forestry sites in a number of countries. (Research since 2000 has shown the wasp infestation to be, in fact, the work of two closely related species).
The speed at which the global invasion happened "is unprecedented", as it used to take decade for pests to travel the world, adds Slippers. "Invasive pests and pathogens have always been a big issue in the industry, but what is changing is the speed at which things are happening. "We knew it was coming to South Africa, we just didn't know when it would arrive."
The tiny wasp eventually landed in 2007. South Africa has around half-a-million hectares of Eucalyptus plantations, with the wood used for the paper and construction industries.
One of the methods to counter the impact and spread of the wasp is the use of biocontrol agents – an enemy to the pest. The use of biocontrol agents for forest insect pests was first introduced in 1910 in South Africa, to counter long-horned eucalyptus borers. Since then biocontrol agents have been introduced another seven times in plantation forests, with research on two other bio-control agents under way.
Sourcing the right enemy is the first difficulty, followed by keeping it alive, testing its 'abilities', preferences, reproduction cycle and life expectancy in the domestic environment – all under quarantine – and growing the population to the numbers required to counter the problem. All of this takes place at UP's experimental farm, in Pretoria. The tiny Australian wasp – in fact, 17 000 of them – that has been found to kill the pest wasp, has since 2012 been released on 425 sites in South Africa. FABI is currently testing the efficacy of the introduction. Slippers believes the newcomer will not eradicate the problem completely, but rather bring "down the economic damage to manageable levels".

NZ's investment in R&D continues to slipNew Zealand's dwindling investment in research and development (R&D) has seen it slip down a world table of 34 countries to sit almost at the bottom, according to the recently released Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR) survey.
At this time last year a net 20% of New Zealand businesses expected to increase their expenditure on R&D, compared with only 12% at the end of the third quarter 2014. Paul Kane, Partner, Privately Held Business, at Grant Thornton New Zealand, said the real danger is that we are continuing to invest less than our major trading partners China (36%), Australia (31%), United States (27%) and United Kingdom (20%).
"The other distressing factor is that China, Australia and the United States have all increased their commitment to R&D. "Traditionally we are a country that does not invest heavily in R&D, often preferring to throw people rather than technology at problems, but this needs to change.
Kane said that a survey undertaken earlier this year by Grant Thornton showed that there was an interest from New Zealand businesses to invest in R&D, but it had to be backed by the Government. "Before the election, we asked business owners what policies would best aid the growth of New Zealand businesses and 89% said that providing incentives for businesses to invest in R&D would help in this area. The big question, therefore, is how to make this happen".
"The Government does not seem keen on a tax rebate incentive as it believes this is open to abuse and while it does have its own grant and incentive schemes through the likes of the Callaghan Fund, the fund does have limitations, often requiring more upfront capital than a business may have. Perhaps we need something like the large innovation funds that Hong Kong has to co-invest," he said.

84 year old sawmiller still going strongMost retirees cut back their hours and take up a hobby. But for 84-year-old sawmiller Ralph Affleck, his hobby and his work have always been the same thing. At the age of 60, he designed and built a sawmill which could be run by just one person - him. Locals around Killarney in south-east Queensland think he's a legend - and they're right.
Three mornings a week, 85-year-old Ralph Affleck heads from his farmhouse at Legume on the New South Wales-Queensland border across the paddock to where he feels most at home - his sawmill.
Remarkably, Ralph designed and built it himself, a little retirement project which took four years to build. Ralph didn't finish school. His only qualifications were 50 years of timber cutting and sawmilling. For more of this story and interview with Ralph Affleck, click here >>.

Canadian-U.S. lumber trade dispute simmeringA recent dispute over "country of origin labelling" for meat products underscores the fact that Canada and the U.S. still have their share of trade disputes. Yet lurking in the background is a massive trade issue that you haven't heard about for a while: softwood lumber, the granddaddy of all Canadian-U.S. trade disputes. Canada exported $7.4-billion worth of lumber in 2013, the highest amount since 2006.
The United States is the destination for the bulk of that wood, and U.S. lumber producers have for decades demanded the U.S. government collect tariffs on Canadian lumber. After decades of dispute, Canada and the U.S. agreed to a nine-year truce in 2006. Under the agreement, the U.S. agreed to return more than $5-billion in duties collected from Canadian lumber companies, and a ceasefire in trade litigation.
If you thought we've achieved lumber peace in our time, you might be premature. We've now entered the final year of that truce, which is set to expire on Oct. 12, 2015. There are signs this historic trade grievance is set to return with a vengeance. U.S. housing starts are heating up. As U.S. construction grows, demand for Canadian lumber increases, something that will inevitably antagonize U.S. lumber producers who have long argued that Canada's industry is unfairly subsidized.
"The dragon is never slain. It just goes to sleep sometimes for a while," Paul Lalonde, a trade lawyer with Dentons Canada LLP in Toronto, said of the dispute. Next year's expiry date will come at a crucial time. U.S. new home construction, which peaked at 2.1 million units in 2005, collapsed to 554,000 units in 2009 with the financial crisis. Demand for Canadian lumber tanked right along with it, along with lumber prices. Things changed in 2013, when lumber prices rebounded as U.S. housing starts gathered momentum.
"For the first time in years, we actually see new housing starts in the United States past the one-million mark," said William Polushun, an international business expert and lecturer at the Desautels faculty of management at McGill University. More >>

Cape Reinga to Bluff now on 50MAXA significant breakthrough has been achieved for New Zealand freight efficiency with the opening of the last remaining bridge on State Highway One in Horowhenua to 50MAX trucks.
"We're delighted to announce that the whole length of State Highway One from North Cape to the Bluff is now 50MAX compatible," says Transport Agency Freight Director Harry Wilson. "This is excellent news for 50MAX operators and local communities who stand to reap the benefits," says Mr Wilson.
The lifting of the restriction applies only to 50MAX, other High Productivity Motor Vehicles (HPMVs) will need to continue to use the route specified on their permits. This milestone also coincides with another – the first birthday of the 50MAX initiative.
Since it was unveiled in October 2013, around 1850 permits have been issued with a total of almost 60 million 50MAX kilometres driven. 50MAX trucks have the same high safety standards that are required of other high productivity motor vehicles (including increased resistance to roll over and the inclusion of electronic braking systems), meaning they are trucks that are not only more efficient, but also safer.
Many operators are investing in even more safety measures, such as speed limiting, GPS monitoring, weight load cells and Electronic Stability Control. The average improvement in productivity from a 50MAX vehicle is around 15 per cent, making it a key part in the Transport Agency's strategic priority of moving more freight on fewer trucks.

China construction updateChinese home prices fell for a fifth straight month in September, wiping out gains scored in the past year and raising expectations the government will have to implement more economic support measures to cushion the blow. The monthly falls left average home prices in 70 major Chinese cities down 1.3 percent in September from a year earlier, the first such drop since November 2012.
The worst performance was in the eastern city of Hangzhou, where prices sagged 7.6 percent in September from a year before. "The property downturn is still the main drag on the economy," Wang Tao, an economist at UBS in Hong Kong, said in a note. "The negative impact of the ongoing property downturn is being felt not only in heavy industry, but also in manufacturing investment."
The slowdown in the housing market followed GDP data showing the economy grew at its slowest rate since the 2008/2009 global financial crisis in the September quarter, adding to worries that it will drag on global growth.
Chinese officials have indicated they would be willing to tolerate slightly slower growth as long as the job market continued to hold up, so there was some relief in the form of steady unemployment data. China's urban registered unemployment rate was 4.07 percent at the end of September, down slightly from 4.08 percent at the end of the second quarter, the labour ministry said.
In late September, China cut mortgage rates and down payment levels for some home buyers for the first time since the 2008/09 global financial crisis, its boldest step yet to energise an economy increasingly threatened by a sagging housing market.
Although transaction data from private real estate consultancies pointed to a pick-up in sales in recent weeks, the impact of new government measures to provide cheaper loans to second-home buyers remains uncertain. "It still takes time to see whether a recovery of home sales will affect home prices," Liu Jianwei, a senior statistician at the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), said in a statement accompanying the data.
Analysts concurred it was too early to tell if government moves in late September to lower mortgage rates and down payment requirements would be enough to stem the price slide. And even if prices do stabilise, developers will remain reluctant to start new projects until a glut of unsold homes is worked off, depressing demand for raw materials and keeping pressure on labour markets.
"The weakest part of China's economy is still the property sector," said Wang Tao, an analyst at UBS in Hong Kong. "The government has relaxed some controls recently and property sales may pick up in the fourth quarter. However, we may not see improvement in sectors like heavy industry and we expect the economy to continue to slow down."

Forest Product Industries welcomes progress on China tradeThe Australian Forest Products Association (AFPA) has congratulated the Abbott Government on negotiating a bilateral free trade agreement with China and notes the significant positive potential for export industries. Chief Executive Officer Mr Ross Hampton said, 'The two-way trade in forest, wood and paper products between China and Australia, expanded exponentially over the past decade and has become extremely important for both countries.'
'The forest, wood and paper products exported from Australia include roundwood (which has increased in value over the last 10 years from AU$35m to AU$251m) 1, waste-paper (AU$10m to AU$150m in value), and woodchips (from nothing in 2003-04 to over AU$150m today). Imports from China to Australia have increased in value over the last ten years from AU$250 m to over AU$1,100m and include paper and paperboard, panels and transformed wood products.'
As the relationship continues to develop over time negotiators should consider:
- fair transition arrangements when removing or changing existing import tariff rates, as domestic companies need time to adjust their businesses;
- continued support for an effective and internationally compliant antidumping and countervailing system to guard against unfair competition;
- increased access for sawn timber product exports to China by Australian producers by reviewing any unnecessary limitations in building codes and standards; and
- recognition of Australia's high standards as they relate to existing biosecurity protocols, given Australian exports of fibre-based wood products, such as woodchips and roundwood, are accepted as low-risk.

Further clarification on amendments to the NZ Building CodeWe've had a lot of comment and input to a story that ran in the 7 November issue covering the Amendments to the New Zealand Building Code which came into effect in April 2014. In it, materials must meet specific fire performance criteria for use as interior wall and ceiling materials in buildings.
Last week NZTIF said that the requirements of the NZBC in fact haven't changed. Under the amendments, some text has changed to make certain matters clearer but provisions for the use of timber as ceiling and wall materials haven't altered. Details about where timber ceiling and wall materials can be used are set out in the story and a link to more detailed information supplied.
This week, Jeff Parker, WPMA's Technical Manager has also provided an update on changes to the NZ Building Code Regulations for Reaction-to-Fire. Recognition of these changes has come late to the NZ timber industry and as pointed out by Jeff, these regulations have indeed changed the ways in which timber can be used as linings in some types of buildings in New Zealand.
In summary, timber has not been completely shut out of the interior linings of buildings in NZ. The unrestricted use of wood as wall and ceiling linings is allowed in residential use but in public spaces, non–fire retardant treated or coated timber can be used as wall linings if the walls are sprinkler protected. A full explanation on the changes and implications are attached here.
Limited benefits for NZ wood products in Korean FTAAt its meeting on Thursday the Wood Council of NZ (Woodco) said tariffs will continue to restrict trade in processed wood products despite the signing of a FTA with South Korea. "We know how hard government negotiators have strived to achieve a high quality deal with Korea. For the forest industry the job is far from finished, but the proposed agreement is a good start," says Woodco chair Bill McCallum. Woodco is the pan-industry body representing the interests of all parts of the forest and wood processing value-chain.
New Zealand exported NZ$503 million of forestry products to Korea in the year ending June 2014. Under the FTA more than 99 percent of New Zealand's current export wood product lines will be duty-free within 10 years.
"But ten years is a long time in business and while a 10 per cent tariff may not sound significant, on price-sensitive products it can be enough to eliminate trade. This is compounded by the fact that some other wood exporting countries already enjoy tariff-free entry into Korea."
Mr McCallum says the forestry and wood processing industries on a "business as usual" basis will deliver $6 billion a year in export earnings to New Zealand by 2022. The vision in the Woodco Strategic Action Plan is to double this to $12 billion over the same period, largely by converting a higher proportion of logs to higher value products for sale locally and on world markets".
"But we can't do this alone. Only the government can negotiate the tariff-free access we need to compete. Tariffs are generally very low on logs and escalate as value is added – effectively shutting our processed wood products out of many markets."
He says free trade agreements between New Zealand and other countries have tended to headline the benefits for dairy, meat and horticultural exports. "While we welcome the gains the farming sector has achieved, we do encourage greater priority be given to improved access for forest products. We are currently the country's third largest export industry, but the industry's common objective is to substantially increase the proportion of wood products that add value on-shore.
Manufacturing building materials from plants and wasteWith a bit of processing, common materials can be made into high-performance building materials, such as pollution-eating roofing and concrete. In some applications, fiberglass insulation, foam insulation, and wood can be replaced by manufactured alternatives that are made from waste materials and select raw materials.
Zeo, an Australian company based in New South Wales, has created a product called Zeoform that is composed of only cellulose and water. The company has patented the process, which uses cellulose from textile waste, recycled and reclaimed paper, industrial hemp, and waste and renewable plants. The process results in a material, the company says, that can be produced at varying densities and can be formed, moulded, or sprayed. The material does not contain glues or other chemical elements, but those can be added to achieve specific properties.
At low to medium density – 0.5 to 0.9 grams per cubic centimetre – Zeoform is applicable for products that require lightweight, thermal, insulating, and acoustical properties. High-density Zeoform (one to 1.5 grams per cubic centimetre) is made for applications such as building materials and automotive parts which require a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Higher-density Zeoform has some inherent water resistance, but the company says surface coatings would be appropriate for more intense weather conditions. Common oil-based and acrylic coatings, polyurethanes, resins, and so on will work with the product, which has binding properties similar to dense hardwood. High-density Zeoform is fire resistant, and has achieved a Bfs/s1 rating, according to BS EN 13501 standards.
As Zeoform can be sprayed, moulded, or formed, it can be used like wood or plastic. So far, the company has used Zeoform to produce furniture, housewares, jewellery, industrial parts, musical instruments, and building cladding. According to Zeo vice president of global branding and marketing Zen Joseph, the company has not yet entered commercial production. The company suggests the Zeoform panels are well suited for use in structural insulated panels (SIPs), factory-built structures, and panelized housing systems.

New report sheds light on the potential of biomassInternational Renewable Energy Agency says biomass could power 20 percent of the world's energy by 2030 - According to a recent report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), biomass could account for as much as 60 percent of the global renewable energy mix by the year 2030, providing up to 20 percent of the world's electricity needs. In the report titled Global Bioenergy Supply and Demand Projections for the Year 2030, IRENA lays out the case in favour of specific biomass technologies it says will significantly limit greenhouse gas emissions to "two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels" by the year 2100. Sustainability is paramount.

...and one to end the week on...so, how's your day going?
There I was sitting by myself at the bar staring at my untouched drink. Suddenly, a 6'8" tattooed biker steps up next to me and grabs my drink. He then grinned at me and gulped down my drink in one swig.
And on that note, have a great weekend. We look forward to
catching up with Australian foresters at next week's leg of
the current ForestTECH 2014 technology series. Cheers.

After Garurumon and Stingmon destroy a Dark Tower in Acapulco, Mexico, Ken informs Yamato that the renegate Digimon have escaped to the Mayan ruins in Palenque. However, upon arriving at the ruins, they find that a curfew has been enforced for kids their age - and when they try to enter the ruins, they�re quickly threatened and turned back. As they try to formulate another plan, Ken reveals he speaks �a little� Spanish, while Wormmon, Yamato, and Gabumon are impressed.Help arrives in the form of Jos�, yet another identical copy of Gennai, who creates a diversion for the four to enter the ruins with some...interesting antics in front of the guards. As they explore the ruins, Wormmon gets a little freaked out by the atmosphere and decides to bring in a little light...only to run into a Gotsumon and get freaked out again.The Gotsumon turns out to be partnered to a Mexican Chosen Child, Chichosnote , who�s sneaked out of her house in order to help in the rounding-up efforts. Chichos immediately takes a liking to Ken and latches onto him, to the horror and jealousy of Wormmon, and the two immediately start a war over the hapless Ken as they search for the renegade Digimon. Jos� arrives to lend them a hand, and they go deeper into the ruins.The renegade Digimon turn out to be a Dokugumon and a Minotaurmon, both of whom seem to be very agitated. Knowing that it probably wouldn�t be a good idea to destroy an important Mayan cultural icon through Digimon battling, Yamato and Gabumon lure them outside while the others chase them out. On the way, Chichos falls over and lands on her face and Ken picks her up on his back...and when Wormmon falls over in an attempt to get to Ken, he only ends up running into Gotsumon.Once they successfully get the Dokugumon and Minotaurmon out of the ruins, Ken has Wormmon evolve to Stingmon and Ken commands him to prevent the ruins from being damaged. Gabumon super-evolves to WereGarurumon and Chichos�s Gotsumon evolves to Monochromon to help out, and they knock out the renegade Digimon and send them back to the Digital World via Ken�s D-3 and Jos�s laptop.Chichos, having fallen asleep on Ken�s back, mutters that Stingmon was amazing, to the happy embarrassment of Wormmon. Ken, Yamato, Wormmon, and Gabumon drop Chichos off at her home, bid her �adi�s�, and depart.Meanwhile, Miyako and Sora arrive in Moscow and destroy a Dark Tower. They meet up with the Russian Chosen Children: Anna with a Unimon, Laranote with a Snimon, and Yuri with a Kuwagamon. Unfortunately, even though they�re eager to get to know each other, the language barrier is thick and they�re not able to fully communicate. Miyako tries and fails to get them to understand sign language, and even worse, Sora only knows two words in Russian: �piroshki� and �borscht�.This gives Miyako an idea, and she creates a code for the three Russian Chosen, �piroshki� meaning a command for them to turn right, �borscht� being one for �left�, and �caviar� being one for attacking. Now with a feeble way to communicate, the kids begin their attack on the rampaging Flymon, with Miyako leading the attack force using their new code words. Unimon, Snimon, Kuwagamon, Aquilamon, and Garudamon�s combined efforts knock out the Flymon, and Miyako sends them back to the Digital World.As Miyako shakes hands with Anna, her stomach grumbles and she realizes she�s hungry from yelling all of these food names. The Russian Chosen offer to treat them to food, but before Sora and Miyako can accept the offer, Gennai�s comrade Ilya informs them that they need to take care of some Mammon rampaging up north. With food back in Moscow as a motivation, the two of them head up north to assist the Siberian Chosen Children and their Yukidarumon, but end up so cold they can barely function. Fortunately, they�re bailed out by Imperialdramon, who has most of the other Japanese Chosen with him.After Miyako sends the Mammon back to the Digital World, the kids head off to pick up Hikari and Koushirou in Hong Kong, since it�s now past 5 PM in Japan - to the despair of Miyako and Sora, who were looking forward to eating real piroshki and borscht.As Gennai successfully removes the data on the Digimon from the international military databases, we see a Good Times Montage of the international Chosen Children enjoying their Christmas and Imperialdramon returning the Japanese Chosen Children home. Back in Tokyo, a boy is approached by Archnemon, and she takes him into a van with Mummymon and drives off...

O'Brien underwent reconstructive surgery on Wednesday afternoon after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament the previous day.
"It's a big blow for Mark and we're all devastated for him because his form and progress have been big positives in the first half of the season," said Derby manager Nigel Clough.
"There was no-one around him in training when he went down injured, so there's a huge element of misfortune about how it happened.
"We will support him every step of the way in his rehabilitation work and Mark remains a big part of our future plans."

The Malayalam movie industry is now brimming with the emerging new faces, both behind and in front of the camera. Arun Kumar Aravind is a name that shines bright among them after giving back to back hits with 'Cocktail' and the recently released 'Ee Adutha Kaalathu'. In a chat-interview, the young director speaks about how he 'accidentally' ended up pursuing a career in editing, which eventually landed him in the director's chair.
"I did my schooling at St. Thomas School and my graduation at MG College, Trivandrum" says the young director. "Regarding movies, I would say that I was a very ordinary kind of viewer, just interested in 'superstar' films. My real love was cricket back then."
"It was at around this same time that cable TV got introduced into our homes. I had nothing much to do at that time, so ended up watching Star Movies and other movie channels all that time. One thing that the continuous movie watching did to me was to generate an interest to know how the movie has been arranged to be presented to the viewer. I realised that I wanted to know more about the technology behind the output."
"I chanced to meet Priyadarshan on the location of the movie 'Vettam'. One thing about him is that he knows to read people rightly and quickly. He immediately sensed the professionalism in me and took me in to edit his movies."
"Editing is not 'cut and paste', editing is not a simple mechanical job.
Editing is an art, it takes a lot of effort and imagination to put

"More than anything else, we wanted to see how the audience would react
to a new, unorthodox theme in Malayalam."
When he met Murali Gopy, Arun Kumar says he felt the vibe that happens
when two persons of similar perspectives meet.

oh my - so long since my last post! I've been busy... and not all of it has been stamping! Here's a quick fall card. Background is stamped with SU woodgrain stamp in Versamark then I used some Perfect Pearls to highlight the grain. Then I cut out a bunch of trees with a PaperTrey Ink Mighty Oak die and then pieced everything back together with an inlay effect.
HINT: Cut the whole Mighty Oak Die out and then place packing tape across the back so that the sticky part is facing front and it's easy to drop the little pieces in and have them stay!
Finished off with some hemp twine and a vintage button!

Two polar bear cubs, as yet unlicked into shape.
Just for once, I don't really care if this expression has traction all over the world or is merely British. I've learned a thing today and that thing has delivered a perfect jolt of happiness, and that's what I want to share. It's is all about the delightful way logic bends language to its own needs, even faulty logic, and even from a distance of many hundreds of years.
So, you've heard the expression licking into shape, right? And you know it means the act of molding something so that it is ready for use. In every film that has a montage sequence in which someone learns how to do something over time, that person is being licked into shape. Most of us, if we've thought about the phrase at all, will have probably concluded that it either derives from beating into shape, the way a blacksmith would batter hot metal into a sword, or it has something to do with ice cream.
The truth is a LOT more fun.
Way back at the beginning of writing things down, it was commonly believed that a bear cub was born as a blob of formless nothing, a scoop of jello with eyes, essentially. And it would be up to the mother and father bear to take this wobbly gobbet of un-bear and literally lick the beariness into it. Never mind that other mammals are born blind and hairless, and they grow into their fur and shape, the ancients believed that bears had to be molded into bear shapes by the careful craftsbearship of a parental tongue. A scoop here for the ears, a swish there for the neck, and so on.
The 4th Century Roman writer Donatus made reference to this belief, as did the 11th Century Arab doctor Avicenna, and the phrase first makes an appearance in the English language in 1413, in a translation of de Guilleville's book The Pilgrimage of Souls: "Bears be brought forth all foul and transformed and after that by licking of the father and the mother they be brought into their kindly shape."
Note: In this case, kindly means natural.
And so common a belief was this, that it was no jump at all to draw a parallel between the licking bears and anything that requires careful and dedicated attention in order to reach its full potential. And it makes perfect sense as a metaphor anyway. The careful and meticulous sweep of a mother's tongue, regular and supportive, is a perfect analogy to any form of teaching or intense craftsmanship. To this day army sergeants describe taking their raw recruits and licking them into shape, teachers are the same with a new class, and I'm sure conductors have the same ideas about their orchestras.
The question is; would they be so quick to use the expression if they knew its post-scientific definition would actually be clean this infant and let it grow into the shape that is pre-determined by its DNA? Probably not.

BROMSGROVE Operatic Society is calling on Standard readers to be a prompt for its latest production.
The group will perform Gershwin's musical Crazy For You at Bromsgrove's Artrix from June 17 to 22.
The large cast is working hard to recreate one of the West End's most popular musicals but needs someone to offer a helping hand when needed.
The society's chairman Ian Cox said: "We're looking for someone to fill a really important role within the company.
"The prompt will attend rehearsals and performances and be on hand to help our actors if they get stuck with their lines.
"You don't need any previous experience, just the ability to follow a script and yell out the occasional prompt."
The prompt would need to attend the remaining rehearsals on Sunday afternoons and Monday evenings and all the performances of show, which features classic Gershwin songs including 'Embraceable You' and 'I've Got Rhythm'.
Anyone interested in helping should call James Edwards on 07813 891710 or Ian Cox on 07810 865865.
Tickets for the show are available from Artrix's website at www.artrix.co.uk or via the box office on 01527 577330.

Bills sign rookie 2nd-round pick, OT Cordy Glenn
The Buffalo Bills continue locking up their rookie draft class after signing offensive tackle Cordy Glenn, their second-round pick. Drafted 41st overall out of Georgia, Glenn is being given the opportunity to compete for the starting job at left tackle after Buffalo lost Demetress Bell in free agency this offseason. Glenn is listed at 6-foot-6 and 345 pounds, and had 50 starts...

We stayed during May 2013 via first choice.
Checkin- Exeptionally efficient but no offer for someone to assist with our cases.
Reception - Staff happy to assist and must have the patience of saints to deal with some client's. Very helpful in contacting first choice when rep did not confirm departure time.
Room - Modern but smaller than others we have stayed in for the price. Upgraded fixtures help with bathroom requiring updated grout. Sea view with comfortable beds although the walls are paper thin. Tip - guests who insist in wearing heels in the rooms should consider those below their room. Doors are noisy on closure due to the latches thus late night arrivals caused minor disruption.
Restaurant - Good selection of food so you will not go hungry. Some food lacking flavour and rather similar over a week but enough variety to satisfy most clients. Tip - some times the restaurant turned into a cattle market as people cut in to obtain their food, they will not run out! Staff were very efficient at clearing tables and always enough seats. Self service drinks ideal although taste of rose wine sometimes rather strange. Good lighting and could have done with some music to supplement them nights.
Bar - Very efficient, good range and again they have the patience to deal with a mixture of clients. Pool bar staff very helpful and can poor multiple drinks in one serving.
Pool - Smaller than the photos suggest thus if you are a keen swimmer you may wish to consider alternative hotel.
Entertainment - Children entertainment was well considered with main entertainment lacking the polish and professionalism of other hotels we have stayed in. Standard bingo and shows but just lacking the budget of some other hotels.
Cleanliness - Maids were friendly and very efficient. Each day the hotel, grounds and pool are cleaned and they are very quick to clear any spills. Very clean hotel!
Location - Located away from the main bars with occasional noise from the roadside. Ideal for the views and for walking to local shops and bars. A taxi to the pirates show is around 5 euro one way with a bus stop nearby. Approx 2 min walk to the beach with access to small stone beach area on site. Near to boat company where you can have tours across Palma.
Pirates reloaded and golf fantasia were good value. Haggle with bars offering free drinks on entry!
Overall a positive experience when taking into account minor noise issues, we would recommend this hotel for those considering Majorca.

Key Senator: With Franken Seated No Need for Compromise on Public Option
Continued from previous page
The next few weeks, as Schumer noted, could be the most critical yet in the process of crafting a health care bill. The Finance and HELP committee will begin seeing how and where their two bills can be combined. At the same time, lobbying efforts are expected to be stepped up on the Hill, with the targets likely to be Democrats already skeptical of the public plan.
That said, the past week included two key breakthroughs for progressives hoping to lead the reform process. The first was the Congressional Budget Office scoring the HELP committee's proposal at a relatively slim $600 billion. Though Schumer noted that the figure could rise with amendments, he added, "what the CBO is saying, if you're a fiscal conservative you ought to be for a public option because it saves money."
The other advance was the seating of Al Franken as Senator of Minnesota, which, theoretically, should give the Democratic Party the voting margin it needs to withstand a Republican filibuster.
"I think Democrats, now that we have 60, it's an opportunity but it's a greater responsibility," said Schumer. "And unity among ourselves is very important."

Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelium – the linings of certain parts of the body, most commonly the chest or abdomen. The leading cause of mesothelioma is long-term asbestos exposure. Learn more about what is mesothelioma and what is asbestos.
Categories of Mesothelioma
While many think the answer to the question "What is mesothelioma?" is simply cancer of the lungs, they are incorrect. Mesothelioma is a cancerous tumor of the mesothelium that can start in one of four main areas in the body. Determining which mesothelioma is affecting you is critical so doctors can treat you accordingly. The four main mesothelioma types are:
- Pleural mesothelioma – Pleural mesothelioma is cancer of the lining in the chest cavity. This is the most common type of mesothelioma, accounting for about 75 percent of all cases.
- Peritoneal mesothelioma – Peritoneal mesothelioma is cancer of the lining in the abdomen. This is the second most common type of mesothelioma.
- Pericardial mesothelioma – Pericardial mesothelioma is cancer of the lining around the heart. This type of mesothelioma is very rare.
- Mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis – This is an extremely rare type of malignant mesothelioma that starts in the lining around the testicles, which is technically part of the peritoneum.
Types of Mesothelioma
ACS classifies malignant mesothelioma into four additional types based on the arrangement of cancer cells under the microscope:
- Epithelioid – About 50 to 60 percent of mesothelioma cases are of this type. It tends to have better prospective chances of recovery and/or severity of symptoms.
- Sarcomatoid or Fibrous – About 10 to 20 percent of mesothelioma cases are of this type.
- Mixed or Biphasic – These mesothelioma cases have both epithelioid and sarcomatoid tumors. They make up about 30 to 40 percent of mesothelioma cases.
- Desmoplastic – These are small round cell tumors that are dense and diffuse. These types of mesothelioma tumors are very rare.
- Benign tumors of the mesothelium – Non-cancerous tumors.
Mesothelioma Help
If you or a loved one has a history of asbestos exposure and would like to learn more about what is mesothelioma, call Sokolove Law today. Learn about possible legal action that can be taken while undergoing mesothelioma treatment, or for any other asbestos-related cancer.
