First impressions are important, so why not make a fabulous first impression with these hand-braided Kangaroo leather leashes. Give your dog the edge needed to win in the show ring. Matching collars are available.
The leashes can be used for Conformation, Obedience, Rally or Agility or walks around the neighborhood. You choose the beads, the leather color and the length.
All leashes are braided using Kangaroo leather and a core line of Power Pro 150 lb. test line. Kangaroo leather is stronger than calf or deer skin. As the already buttery soft leather softens more with use, the braiding will become tighter. These leashes are extremely strong and handle my Bernese Mountain Dogs with no trouble.
The leashes are braided by me using beads I made, therefore you will never find another braider offering my leather/bead cluster combinations.
They can be made to any length. You can order either a snap or a loop to attach to your dog's collar.
You can mix and match your bead and leather combinations. The silver, copper and gold beads vary based on supplies available.
Call for prices for any leash over 36 inches. Leash and collar combinations are available, as well as, separate collars. Prices are based on the length of the collar or collar and leash combination.
36 inch leash with two bead clusters and snap $75
36 inch leash with two bead cluster and loop $85
Collars $1.75 per inch
Collar attached to leash $1.50 per inch
Leashes longer than 36 inches $1.75 per inch
Third small bead cluster (one bead and findings) $5
Third bead cluster $10

Lawyer Taylor in 'good spirits' after Libya release
PUBLISHED: 03 Jul 2012 07:31:00 | UPDATED: 04 Jul 2012 00:08:15PUBLISHED: 03 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 04 Jul 2012Australian lawyer Melinda Taylor speaks to security officials after being released by a Zintan brigade that detained her in Libya for three weeks. Reuters
Australian lawyer Melinda Taylor has been reunited with her family in the Netherlands after being freed from detention in Libya. Her parents were elated and very relieved, as was her husband Geoff, Foreign Minister Bob Carr said.
Ms Taylor, who has been held in the Libyan town of Zintan since June 7, was released to Australian ambassador David Ritchie early yesterday.
She was escorted to a Libyan military airbase near Tripoli, where she boarded an Italian military aircraft bound for Europe.
Senator Carr said Ms Taylor was in "good spirits" and was looking forward to being reunited with her husband and her two-year-old daughter, Yasmina.
"This is the news we've been hoping for – a swift end to Melinda Taylor's detention and the resolution of what has been a protracted diplomatic negotiation," Senator Carr said in a statement.
He thanked Libyan Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib and Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammed Abdel Aziz, whose personal intervention was vital, he said, in bringing Ms Taylor home.
Ms Taylor and three other International Criminal Court officials were detained in Zintan more than three weeks ago.
She was representing Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, a son of Muammar Gaddafi, and was found with documents for him that were judged to be a threat to security. Senator Carr said Ms Taylor's release came as a result of "fruitful" talks between Libyan authorities and the ICC.Libyan officials met the ICC last month and gave a commitment to take all necessary action to release the detained staff.

A. Bartlett Giamatti
Seventh Commissioner of Baseball
A. Bartlett Giamatti was elected to a five-year term as baseball's seventh Commissioner on September 8, 1988 by a unanimous vote of the 26 club owners.
Born in Boston, MA on April 4, 1938, Giamatti attended Yale University where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, in English in 1960. Giamatti went on to receive a Ph.D. from Yale in Comparative Literature in 1964.
After receiving his doctorate, Giamatti taught Italian and Comparative Literature at Princeton University. He returned to Yale in 1966 when he joined the faculty as an assistant professor of English. He became a full professor in 1971 at the age of 33 and served as the director of the Division of Humanities from 1975 - 78.

Commissioners home
He became president of Yale in July, 1978, and served ten years. After leaving that position he joined Major League Baseball and was named the 12th president of the National League on December 11, 1986.
In two years as NL President, Giamatti earned a reputation for preserving baseball's traditions, values and integrity. His presidency placed an emphasis on the need to improve the environment for the fan in the ballparks.
Giamatti has written many books, essays, articles and reviews on Renaissance Literature and baseball. His baseball writings include: "Tom Seaver's Farewell", Harper's Magazine (September 1977), which won the E.P. Dutton Best Magazine Sports story of the Year in 1977; "The Green Fields of the Mind", Yale Alumni Magazine and Journal (November 1977); "Recall, as the Series Ends, the Afternoon of the Fall", Hartford Courant (October 18, 1978); "Men of Baseball, Lend and Ear", New York Times (June 16, 1981); "A Magic Game and an End to Innocence", Boston Sunday Globe (April 7, 1985); "Baseball and the American Character", Harper's Magazine (October 1986); "A Ballpark is Freedom's Ring", Boston Globe Special Edition (October 6, 1986); Foreword to The Armchair Book of Baseball II (April 1987); "To Sports and Fans: Clean Up Your Act", The Boston Globe (July 20, 1987).
After being elected Commissioner, Giamatti created a deputy commissioner position and appointed Francis T. Vincent, Jr. to the post. Determined to maintain the integrity of the game during his commissionership, Giamatti entered into an agreement with Cincinnati manager and baseball's all-time hit leader Pete Rose that was tantamount to a lifetime suspension on August 23, 1989. The agreement came after a lengthy investigation and court battle regarding gambling by Rose.
On September 1, 1989, Giamatti died of a heart attack at his summer home in Martha's Vineyard, MA.

Disposable cell phones are very useful when traveling overseas. They are usually fairly inexpensive and the user can buy cards with more minutes, if more time is needed. I know many people who use disposable cell phones if they are not in the USA, and don't even take their more expensive phones with them. They will often have their contacts and important information stored on a tablet or laptop so they can access it when necessary.
Some people will even save the disposable phone if they know they will be making another trip into the same country, so they don't have to buy a phone when they get in.

How did Christian Churches deal with segregation laws in the United States and are there any Bible passages that deals with discrimination and segregation? What were typical responses from Churches that were within that sub-culture? Were there Churches on both sides of the issue?
The doctrinal controversies inherent have been discussed in Does the Bible support slavery and (White) Superiority in the context of American Slavery?, so I will limit myself to actual movements. This question: When did the African-American population become Christian? also talks about the rise of the black church. Perhaps the most famous examples of how the church both engaged in and overcame racism are:
The answer to your questions are thus:
"... are there any Bible passages that deals with discrimination and segregation?" Yes, James 2, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202&version=NASB Galations 3:28 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians%203&version=NASB There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is [aj]neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you [ak]belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's [al]descendants, heirs according to promise. If we replace Jew & Greek with black, white, brown, etc. the passage declares men & women of different races equal in God's sight. I've been taught, the Hebrew culture of the time frowned upon men speaking to women in public. But we have several examples in the Gospels where Christ spoke to women. Many Jews In John 4 (see the same website), the woman at the well v. 8, 20 & 27 V. 8 sounds like a polite way of saying, many Jews shunned the Samaritans. So in that culture, she had too strikes against her, but Christ spoke to her & invited her to receive "living waters" irregardless of her race or gender. |


text: Well, as the title says, my clear coat on my car came off. I took my car to a car wash and i was using the water gun or whatever its called and i was rinsing off my car before washing it and i came across some haziness which i thought was some left over bird poop so i used the gun to get it off, but as i was washing off what i thought was bird poop....was really the clear coat. The gun took a good section off on my rear passenger side fender. It happened just today (being Saturday), so my question is.....would the body shop be willing to just repair the small area on my fender? and would it be actually a smart idea to make an insurance claim on it or not? Heres a pic below of the damage after i washed my WS6.

Why Obama is losing millennialsBy Julian Zelizer, CNN ContributorUpdated 7:51 AM ET, Mon March 24, 2014Comedian in chief 9 photosComedian in chief – President Barack Obama appeared with comedian Zach Galifianakis for the "Funny or Die" online show "Between Two Ferns" to push young adults to sign up for Obamacare. The President has an uneven record on delivering one-liners.

Hide Caption 4 of 9Comedian in chief 9 photosComedian in Chief – Obama, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, and Republican presidential opponent Mitt Romney during the annual Al Smith Dinner in New York on October 18, 2012, in New York.

The President handled Galifianakis' barbs well, throwing some back at the comedian (ridiculing his film "Hangover 3," for example) and successfully stoking interest in his health care program, based on the uptick in traffic that followed.The show was condemned by some who saw it as disrespectful of the office of the presidency; others said the president performed brilliantly, doing what presidents need to do in this day and age, by appearing on a hip and edgy popular culture outlet.Reaching young people any way he can is particularly urgent with the March 31 deadline for health coverage enrollment under the Affordable Care Act. The administration has not made its sign-up targets, and evidence suggests balance between young and healthy versus old and infirm is not what the President wanted.But while gimmicks like the "Ferns" appearance may produce some quick-hit results, they won't go far in re-energizing young people about Obama's presidency. In the case of the health care program, for example, it seems that many young people have not been convinced the program is in their best interest. A good part of this has to do with the failure of the administration to explain this complex program to the public since its inception. Julian ZelizerIf President Obama -- or politicians from either party -- really want to engage younger Americans and reignite the energy of 2008, they will need to do much more. Americans in their late teens and early 20s who are just starting to vote are not so gullible or pliable. They are looking for help in tough times. They want their government to offer real solutions to real problems that they see, not just cool appearances that might make them laugh a bit. Like all the other Americans who are struggling in the modern economy, younger voters want job security. Too many leave college without any good job prospects and those who do succeed often find jobs with meager benefits and limited long-term stability. This is a far cry from the 1950s and 1960s, the era when young Americans who finished their high school education and went to college could expect to enter careers that would bring them financial security and allow them to do better than their parents.As Sarah Ayers of the Center for American Progress noted, the unemployment crisis for young Americans includes "high school students who are having a harder time finding after-school jobs, twenty-somethings who are increasingly stuck in unpaid internships instead of paying jobs, and college students who are settling for low-wage, low-skill jobs such as waiting tables or serving coffee." Many younger Americans exiting college work multiple jobs to make ends meet or find work in transitory positions without benefits. According to the New York Fed, unemployment is at its worst rate in two years for recent college graduates and many fortunate to have employment are in jobs that don't require their degrees. President Obama has not been able to do much about this situation. While he worked hard to push a stimulus bill that would move the nation out of recession in 2009, long-term investment in jobs has not been a big part of his record. In his stimulus bill, passed at the height of his influence, the President focused too much on tax cuts and not enough on the kinds of public jobs that would have been attractive to younger Americans struggling to find a place in the workforce. The cost of using his political capital on health care, moreover, was to diminish the possibility for greater public investments in growing areas of the job market. Neither has the President figured out how to halt the flight of jobs to other countries. What's more, young people also see a Washington that is broken, a city gridlocked in partisan conflict as decisions revolve around powerful single-issue lobbyists who gain influence by throwing money at candidates. When Obama originally ran for the presidency, he promised to promote a different kind of politics. He took the political process seriously, and argued that without campaign finance, lobbying and other kinds of government reforms, politics would never get better.Yet after taking office he abandoned many of those efforts in order to focus on immediate economic and foreign policy crises. The decision to leave government reform behind has had long-term costs, among them a loss of trust among younger Americans in the basic character of the political process. The institutions of government seem as broken in 2014 as they did in 2008.Just WatchedPres. Obama: 'Climate change is a fact'replayMore Videos ...Pres.

While young people, like all Americans, agree that the federal government needs to protect the nation from terrorist threats, they also don't like all the revelations about how the National Security Agency has conducted intensive surveillance into telephone conversations, texting and Internet traffic.For millennial Americans who distrust so many institutions, the freedom and right to communicate through the Internet has defined much of their lives. This has been the realm through which they experience the world. As they have learned how President Obama's administration oversaw data logging efforts that undermined some of the very freedom they desired, he has continued to lose some of their trust. According to a poll by Harvard University's Institute of Politics in December 2013, many Americans between 19 and 29 years of age think the surveillance programs go too far. Nor has President Obama been able to make much progress on an issue that matters very much to younger Americans, one that will affect them much more than seniors who have greater political clout: climate change. Younger Americans have grown up learning about the disastrous consequences of human decisions on the environment and observing frightening swings in the weather that portend greater dangers. A bipartisan poll in 2013 found strong support among younger voters for a climate change bill. Yet despite bold words of support for climate change legislation, the President has been unable to move Congress on this issue and, by many accounts, he has not made this a real priority in his administration. For many younger Americans this has been a great disappointment. The activism surrounding the President's upcoming decision on the Keystone pipeline has highlighted this.To be sure, the President has faced intractable opposition from Republicans in Congress who have refused to move on this issue and have stifled one of the initiatives that could have been hugely attractive to younger Americans. Even his biggest policy accomplishment for younger Americans—allowing people to stay on their parent's health insurance policies until age 26—has been blunted by the unpopularity of the individual mandate many of them will be subjected to, as well as the failure to impose tougher cost controls, which may mean higher prices for those who do buy insurance.Going on fun entertainment shows is certainly an interesting and probably effective way to reach young Americans on the Affordable Care Act, but after all the disappointment and heartbreak they have experienced since he took office, that's about as far as it can go. In the near future, the administration must do a better job to explain how the particulars of the health care program benefit younger Americans and to at least try to make progress—even if through executive power—on issues like climate change. It must be clear to young voters, if Democrats can overcome this political problem, that the GOP rather than the President's lack of interest is to blame for the lack of progress. With Keystone, the decision is in Obama's control. The President should also continue to work on smaller programs, such as student loans, where he has been able to deliver tangible results to this population.Obama and other politicians, in both parties, must remember: To excite disenchanted voters distrustful of all institutions, you must show that you can make progress on the policy issues that matter to them and to do so through a stronger political process that leads them to believe in politics once again.

Chlorophyll Formation
Name: Jack Status: other Grade: other Location: Outside U.S. Country: Australia Date: Spring 2013
Hi, Ive been researching about Chlorophyll and found that iron is essential for chloropyhll production and that an excess of Iron can disrupt the formation of Chlorophyll. As chlorophyll is bonded to a central mg ion, is it possible for Fe2+, to replace the magnesium ion? and if it is possible does it mean that it forms a plant version of heme - similar to heme found in hemoglobin?
Hi Jack,
Thanks for the question. The size of the Mg2+ ion is much smaller than the size of the Fe2+ ion, so it is unlikely that Fe2+ (the ferrous ion) will be able to fit into the center of the chlorophyll molecule. Remember, the purpose of chlorophyll is to trap light energy; chlorophyll is not directly involved in bonding or reacting to oxygen. Thus, it is unlikely that this simple substitution will generate a plant version of heme. However, a plant version of heme could be produced, but many more changes in the amino acids and porphyrin ring would be necessary.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have more questions. Thanks Jeff
Thank you Phil for your reply, your answer was very easy to understand and was a big help. I have been continuing research on Iron's role in Chlorophyll and in particular an over excess of Iron.
According to research another reason why excess iron can cause damage to cells is because Fe is required in and as co-factors in reactions that create δ-aminolevulinic acid. In excess Fe, the δ-aminolevulinic acid is created at faster rates, as more Iron containing enzymes are present. After a few more chemical reactions Protochlorophyllide is synthesised, and due to the high amounts of δ-aminolevulinic acid, Protochlorophyllide, the precursor to chlorophyll-a also becomes accumulated in high concentrations. Protochlorophyllide acts as a photosensitiser and can produce free radicals which can bond to chemicals inside the plant and destroy cells? I was wondering if this information is correct, or if I am just making it up? Also if it was correct would the free radicals produced be enough to severely damage the plant and have a heavy impact on its growth?
In a scientific report I found it is suggested that Protochlorophyllide was converted by the protein LPOR in a light dependant reaction. The LPOR hold both NADPH and Protochlorophyllide and when a photon hits this, a hydrogen from LPOR and NADPH, reduces Protochlorophyllide. I thought NADPH was used as a part of the calvin cycle and photosynthesis? Or is Chlorophyll made in the photosynthesis process?
I also found that Fe and some other transition metals can react with Hydrogen peroxide to produce free radicals? If this is so could this process occur in a plant? If free radicals indirectly produced by excess iron aren't the cause of the symptoms of Fe toxicity, do you know any reasons as to why?
I hope these new questions aren't too much to ask. Thank you very much for your time, Jack

Man Turns Violent Life Around to Help Others
POSTED: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 8:38am
UPDATED: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 8:45am
A non profit organization in the upper valley has helped hundreds of recovering addicts and gang members change their lives. It"s all run by one man who says he'll do whatever it takes to prevent today's youth from following in his footsteps.
Frank Vasquez is no stranger to gangs. He grew up in san Antonio he lived a harsh and dangerous lifestyle filled with violence, drugs and alcohol. For over 20 years he struggled to find his way.
Vasquez was arrested over 18 times but now he dedicates his life to helping others across the upper valley.
He has been sober for over 9 years and along with his wife he runs a recovery center tied in with religious influence.
Vasquez tells us the most effective tool is prevention and with so much violence and gang activity in the upper valley. he hopes to create an outlet to those who want a second chance at life.

Phillip Phillips finally went under the knife to remove the enormous kidney stones that almost derailed his run to the "American Idol" title … our sources has learned.
We"re told Phillip had the 6 and a half hour long surgery in L.A. yesterday — and he is recovering well today. The stones that were removed were so huge there was no chance he could"ve passed them on his own.
As our sources first reported, Phil was scheduled to have the surgery last week … but it was delayed because he had a fever and sinus infection.
Phillip suffered through excruciating pain during the entire season of "Idol." It obviously paid off.
Oh what a relief.

Leonardo da Vinci, Sustainability Sage
Historical Perspective – By Dr. Reese Halter
Leonardo da Vinci, born in the middle of the 15th century, was the founder of modern science and an interpreter between nature and humanity.
He sought to understand the nature of life two centuries before the microscope was invented. He believed the Earth was a living, self-organizing and self-regulating system.
Leonardo had exceptional powers of observation and a powerful visual memory. And his "sublime left hand" (as his friend and mathematician Luca Pacioli, called it) drew in excess of 100,000 drawings in over 13,000 pages. Some 6,000 pages were preserved as manuscripts now in libraries and private collections, others in larger forms known as codies are held by the British Royal family and Bill and Melinda Gates.
As a young man Leonardo trained as a painter, sculptor and engineer in Florence. Astonishingly, he was a self-taught scientist, inventor, designer, mathematician, linguist, systemic thinker, cartographer, geologist, ecologist, botanist, hydrologist, complexity theorist, humanitarian and physicist.
He was humble, compassionate, graceful, talented, sensitive, regal spirited, physically beautiful, eloquent, charming, practical joker and he possessed an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
Capitalism 2.0: How Big Money is Shifting Corporate Culture Toward Sustainability
By Greg Wendt
In November 2010, I moderated a panel discussion at The Global Summit conference in San Francisco.
The two panelists were leading thinkers in the sustainability: Andy Behar – CEO of As You Sow Foundation, who's mission is to "promote corporate responsibility through shareholder advocacy, grantmaking, and innovative legal strategies" and John Perkins. As Chief Economist at a major international consulting firm, John Perkins advised the World Bank, United Nations, IMF, U.S. Treasury Department, Fortune 500 corporations, and countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. He worked directly with heads of state and CEOs of major companies. His books on economics and geo-politics have sold more than 1 million copies, spent many months on the New York Times and other bestseller lists, and are published in over 30 languages.

Everyone who has ridden a tricycle understands the fact that three wheels are more stable than one or two. In fact, a three-legged stool gives greater stability than one with four (or more) legs when the surface on which the stool sits is not perfectly level.
We also have learned that the simple balance of three applies not only to working with the laws of gravity, but to all aspects of life, hence the triple bottom line of sustainable development. What is harder to understand is why humans have so much difficulty applying this basic scientific fact through better balanced public and private policy.

Building a Sustainable Community Forest
By Terry Mock
Follow Terry on Twitter: @SustainLandDev
There are now local, regional, national, and global opportunities for individuals in a wide variety of land development professions to participate in long-range environmental sustainability for our society. A common element of all of these efforts is the importance of a healthy community forest. In the United States it is estimated that 90 percent of the entire population now lives within the boundaries of what is defined as community forest. Additionally, the total yearly economic value of community forest services is more than $400 billion.
Many of these services are now required due to various government initiatives. They include energy conservation, reduction of atmospheric contaminants, enhanced property values, and NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Phase II requirements such as erosion control and storm water runoff. In some instances, the desire for improved social and professional aesthetics is a motivating factor as well.
To achieve sustainability of our rapidly expanding community ecosystems and deliver the maximum level of benefits to the inhabitants, the community forest must have three components:
Southern Oregon Coast Mixing Nature, Tradition and Economics for a Sustainable Future
By Monica Fischer and Brent Lawrence
As European expansion moved ever westward, southwest Oregon was one of the last regions to be settled. However, the area's abundant natural resources proved to be a very valuable commodity and served as an unavoidable enticement.
Almost all old-growth forests were logged in the late 1880s and early 1900s. The gold rush of the late 1800s caused increasing friction with indigenous peoples living in the area, which ultimately displaced them to the Siletz Confederated Tribes Reservation outside of Newport, Oregon, though some members of the local tribes still comprise 2% of the area's population. It wasn't until 1932 that the Patterson Bridge was constructed across the Rogue River in Gold Beach (as were many bridges along the Oregon Coast at that time) thus connecting the coastal communities to vehicular traffic in what we now call Highway 101. Salmon were taken to the point where commercial fishing was banned by 1935. Mining, forestry and fisheries depleted the natural resources of southwest Oregon in relative short order. By the 1980s, most of the larger lumber mills were shut down.
The Rise of Sustainable Investing for Institutions
By Hugh Wheelan
Why the time is right for sustainable thinking by pension funds and institutional investors.
When Roger Urwin, global head of investment content at Towers Watson, the investment consultant, turns his mind to a subject, the pensions world listens. Urwin, one of the most influential investment advisors around, has worked with many of the world's largest retirement schemes. His recent attention to the theme of sustainable investing is notable because of his experience in the reality of pension fund practice and governance. Urwin says his concept of sustainable investing is a blend of long-term investing, integrated environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in investment, active ownership and inter-generational solidarity.
Highlighting Problems and Successes in Sustainable Neighborhood Design
By Rick Harrison
Comparing and contrasting New Urbanism and Coving.
No matter how good any idea is, there are ways to make things go terribly wrong. Take for example, New Urbanism, a design concept that seems so easy to implement, yet when stripped of just one or two of its basic elements falls short on its promise.
In New Urbanism, neighborhoods are formed around the theory to encourage walking and social interaction. The use of cars is discouraged, as well as the visual impacts of garage doors. Thus alleys are the norm or any form of rear yard car storage to keep the streetscape clean. Grand porches are connected to walks just in front of the home so passing residents can wave and talk about their day. Common areas throughout the neighborhood allow a congregation of residents.
New Urbanism promises employment, entertainment and shopping within a short walk from home. So simple, yet it gets bastardized on a regular basis. Even if everything seems to go well before and during the approval stages, after approval the city may have just a recorded plat with nothing in place to guarantee any critical elements will actually get built. Lots are sold and the builders may not be educated on the strict adherence of landscaping and architecture that must be held. If "after-approval" elements are not held, the formula for disaster exists. The same can often be true in before, during and after approval stages of coving.

Nature Bats Last: Perspective on Sustainable Land Development
By Terry Mock
Follow Terry on Twitter: @SustainLandDev
We are part of nature too…
In previous articles published in this magazine, I have supported a more environmentally-friendly approach to land development.
"Understanding the Sacred Bond we have with Trees" pointed out the historical importance of wood to the rise of major civilizations and the link between deforestation and environmental collapse, and the fall of many of those same civilizations. The article "Biodiversity is the Living Foundation for Sustainable Development" was published to highlight the fact that underlying all efforts to achieve a triple-bottom-lined sustainable future is the fundamental requirement that certain environmental building blocks must exist, or little hope for civilization can remain. Finally,"Building a Sustainable Community Forest" addressed the need for a comprehensive approach to build sustainable "designer ecosystems" for the future.
Having taken an early environmentally defensive position on land development issues in the past, I now find myself in the position of defending our industry in the face of recent publicly reported criticism and dire predictions which have outlined a very bleak future for humanity as a consequence of the collective eco-sins of present and preceding generations. While the consequences of bad environmental practices are now evident and obvious to any rational observer, I now offer an opinion contrary to the current hysteria-media-driven fear of a coming "Dark Age" for civilization.
Biodiversity is the Living Foundation for Sustainable Development
By Terry Mock
Follow Terry on Twitter: @SustainLandDev
It is the combination of life forms, and their interactions with each other and with the rest of the environment, that have made Earth a uniquely habitable place for humans. Biodiversity — the variability within and among living organisms and the systems they inhabit — is the foundation upon which human civilization has been built. In addition to its intrinsic value, biodiversity provides goods and services that underpin sustainable development in many important ways. First, it supports the ecosystem functions essential for life on Earth, such as the provision of fresh water, soil conservation and climate stability. Second, it provides products such as food, medicines and materials for industry. Third, biodiversity is at the heart of many cultural values.
At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, world leaders agreed on a comprehensive strategy for "sustainable development" — meeting our needs while ensuring that we leave a healthy and viable world for future generations. One of the key agreements adopted at Rio was the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Returning to the Natural Stormwater Management Approach
By Mark Hieber
A look at history provides a glimpse to a better future.
A verdant, park-like low forest, stretching west for 1000 miles…that's how the eastern half of North America appeared prior to European settlement. At that time, Native American Indians managed the vast forests and prairie and savanna meadows by burning off the deeply rooted grasses and wildflowers on the ground plane every autumn with fire.
These frequent, low intensity fires shaped the landscape, while preserving the trees. The appearance to the early Europeans resembled a well maintained park in Europe, with massive, high-branched, virgin, old growth trees towering above a shadedappled flowering ground plane. It was said that a squirrel could climb a tree at the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and never set foot on the ground until reaching the Mississippi River.
Achieving Sustainable Land Development
Last month in SLDI in Focus, we identified the SLDI Guiding Principles – nine universal tenets which comprise the foundation for a successful sustainable project according to the triple-bottom-line needs of maximizing social, environmental and economic capital. These principles adapt the concepts of the Hannover Principles originally developed by Bill McDonough and Michael Braungart and modifies them (as put forth in their original form and in the words of their authors, the Hannover Principles "may adapt as our knowledge of the world evolves.") to conform to the triple-bottom-line approach of truly sustainable land development (http://www.mcdonough.com/principles).
These guiding principles provide the framework for the 27 interrelated sustainable land development goals. Naturally, not all of these goals can be fully maximized on every project. Rather, these goals can be thought of as the ideals of holistic sustainable land development. The specific best management practices in each of these areas (and ultimately, the products and services employed) that provide the greatest leverage and value depends on the specific geographic and political landscape of each individual project. Not every product and/or process (best practice) is practical or effective on every project, but working through the decision model toward achieving each of the goals in a comprehensive fashion right from the beginning of the project can result in a project which delivers maximum sustainability.
SLDI Project Goes Carbon Negative
"Climate change is inevitable, proceeding and even accelerating."
With those alarming opening words, British scientist James Lovelock, author of the new book, "The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning," is delivering a sobering message to large and influential audiences around the world. He says there's nothing we can do now but adapt and survive. He claims it is too late for sustainable development and says civilization's best strategy is "sustainable retreat." If we stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, he explains, it wouldn't do much. We've already released enough carbon over the past hundred years to push us past the point of no return.
When pushed, Lovelock says, the only way we could do something meaningful to avoid catastrophe is to extract and permanently store CO2 from the atmosphere, in addition to dramatically reducing our emissions. And the approach with the most potential, says Lovelock, is to turn biomass material into charcoal, now re-branded as "biochar," in a process known as "pyrolysis" and then bury it. The biochar, unlike the original biomass, can't rot and release CO2 into the atmosphere. It doesn't oxidize. It is chemically stable for hundreds of years, meaning the carbon is permanently sequestered. "This makes it safe to bury in the soil or in the ocean," writes Lovelock.
SLDI Study Provides Revealing Look at the State of the Industry
SLDI recently conducted a survey of land development professionals designed to gauge the industry's perceptions of who/what is responsible for the current economic situation, what will be needed to improve it, the industry's overall acceptance of and receptivity to sustainable land development principles and practices, and the industry's current level of implementation of the most common "green" programs currently available.

DURHAM -- Three University of New Hampshire students suffered "major" burns while evacuating a dormitory that was damaged by hot water from a broken pipe.UNH spokeswoman Erika Mantz said Hunter Hall was evacuated at 2:30 p.m. Saturday after the burst pipe outside the building, flooding part of the first floor.She says three female students suffered what are believed to be third-degree burns on their feet while exiting the dorm. They were taken to local hospitals before being transferred to Boston hospitals.The incident caused "major burns" to their feet, said Durham Fire Chief Corey Landry.Hunter Hall is on campus at 8 Quad Way. It is home to about 115 students. Students were told they could go back to the building Saturday evening. Hunter, Gibbs and Engelhardt halls, known as the lower quad and on the same system, will have hot water overnight but not heat. Heaters will be set up in the building and crews will repair the broken pipe Sunday."I was devastated to learn three of our students suffered serious burns when this pipe failed," said UNH President Mark Huddleston. "We have reached out to their families and will provide whatever assistance we can to help them through this difficult time."

Absolutely the Best Drink Mix I've Tried
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm particular when it comes to the taste and performance of my drink. I'm 49 but do more than 5k miles per year cycling and have had some issues with Dehydration (e.g., ending up in the emergency room after a half century due to runners colitis, etc.). But, going along with that, I am needing to watch my calorie intake as I'm getting a bit older than some other people cycling this much that are significantly younger in age. I was using Iron Man Perform for years, but its 200+ calories per bottle. I tried Accelerade Hydro, which is half that but the taste is only okay. This tastes AWESOME. It's not too sweet and works both from a performance perspective and from a calorie counting perspective (only 100 calories for a 20oz bottle). Highly recommend this to anyone who's willing to give it a try. Get the mason jar also as the bags don't seal that well after opening and you need this to stay moisture free as it has real fruit in it.

Does it's job like all the Skratch Labs products do. I enjoy the flavor...just hard getting used to drinking a warm electrolyte drink on the bike, although the flavor lends itself to it.
Don't understand what all the hype is?
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased this product, after reading about how wonderful is was. I used it multiple times, giving it a chance to prove itself, but don't care for it. Tastes great, mixes good, but makes me feel weird, for some reason? I'll stay with the GU products.

Big Hype...Better Results
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Several of my friends switched over to Skratch labs last season and seemingly had very little muscle fatigue on big days in the mountains. The Gatorade and water mixture just wasn't cutting it for me.
The Skratch Labs products are purpose designed for the task at hand, endurance sports that are high output hour after hour. When you are sweating it out it can be a real challenge to replenish electrolytes and some options are so harsh they leave your stomach feeling queezy.
I didn't notice the results at first. The mixture tasted great (Pineapple) and at the end of the day I had no cramping, no headache, no queezy stomach...The reason I hadn't noticed the results is that it worked seamlessly with my day and I was able to focus on the task at hand rather than fighting off the typical side effects. Since the Spring of 2014 I've exclusively used this product.
Cycling, Trail Running, or Backcountry skiing. This is my go to beverage to keep me going.
Great stuff

Love this product, have tried and liked all of the flavors, my current favorite is a blend of Lemon-Lime with Raspberry!
Taste like Raspberry lemonade

Tried Skratch for the first time this summer, and I'm completely hooked.
Taste is light, all the flavors are amazing and actually a pleasure to drink on or off the bike.
Function is unmatched, with a proven ingredient mix that gives your body exactly what it needs to keep going (along with real food of course), without over doing the sugar, salt or other ingredients.

No more cramps
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm a road rider and a salty sweater and was prone to calf cramps on hot days after about 25 to 30 miles on rides. Started using Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix. The first ride I used it no cramps. Works great
Will Trang
Scratch Labs for the win!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've tried several electrolytes mixes in the past and they are too sweet and sugary. The matcha and lemons is the perfect balance for me and I love the caffeine boost. I wouldn't recommend using this for night rides though I usually have a hard time sleeping with all the caffeine in my system.
Marc DiVall
Love Skratch!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This stuff is the best. All of the other electrolyte drinks are too sugary or taste terrible. Skratch, every flavor, hits it just right. A bottle of this every hour or so of riding keeps me feeling fresh much longer.
Great for racing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Very light mix that sits well during hard racing and causes no GI issues during long hot rides. Really can not complain. Just know that the caloric content is quite low compared to other carb drinks and for long training sessions you will need to supplement for calories.
All the Good, None of the Bad
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Divide the world into two groups of "Sports Drinks," those full of syrup and artificial flavoring and those without. For us smart people (cyclists!), we don't fall for the (mainstream) hype and want something "real." Skratch Labs is not the only option but it is my favorite. Use the Exercise Hydration Mix when you ride and the Daily Electrolyte Mix for post-ride re-hydration. Both are GREAT! All I can tell you is that I have used the Exercise Hydration Mix for a number of seasons and have never bonked...is that thanks to Skratch Labs? Maybe, maybe not...but it certainly has not hurt!
Flovors: I have tried them all...none are overwhelming but all come with a slight after-taste. No big whoop. Make sure to shake, shake and shake your bottle some more in order to get the mix to completely dissolve.
Try it, you will like it!
Mike B
Super Stuff
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This stuff is great. I've tried most of the flavors, and enjoy them all. I've ridden in the heat and under duress, and do feel that they are well designed to keep your body hydrated and with the proper electrolytes. With this type of thing, it is a part of a healthy approach to hydration and diet. I wish they sold it in gigantic tubs at a price break.

Love It
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As a former bike racer and current ultra runner I have tried nearly every drink mix out there and eventually swore off them all together because they made my stomach churn during hard or long events. While my stomach ceased churning without drink mixes I definitely found my body needing electrolytes for longer efforts. Skratch Labs has been my saving grace. This stuff is amazing and the only drink mix I will ever use. Love that it's all natural with excellent salt ratios and a fraction of the sugar to keep from wrecking my stomach - taste great and keeps me going for hours upon hours on end! Highly recommend.
Sarah D.
Buy the single serving first....
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I heard great things about Skratch, especially the raspberry flavor. There is an ingredient that doesn't agree with my stomach. I thought that the flavoring was good, not an overkill of flavor.
Elizabeth M
LOVE it.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I alternate drinking this and plain water on long rides. Love the mild flavor and the fact that it's not sweet (and no gut rot). I sweat a lot of salt & this works for me.
Not too sweet
Flavor seems to make or break the popularity of a sports drink. Nice light flavor, not too sweet. Ziploc closure is a nice feature but the opening is too small to get to the bottom of the bag. Pour it into a tupperware and pitch the bag.

Long days in the saddle call for an hydration supplement that be consumed for hours without giving you gut rot. This is the only one that works for me. I like all the flavors, but Pineapple is my favorite. Use Skratch Labs Hydration Mix for exercise only...not like a juice or soda...too sweet.
Mike Mortenson
Just believe everything you read...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Excellent taste. No gut rot. Superb hydration/rehydration. Better than anything out there that you have tried!!! If you haven't, you owe it to yourself to try it.

"This is my second time to order from Tiny Prints and again, I was very pleased with my order. They have proven once again that they take their work seriously, to deliver an excellent product and service. I am sticking with Tiny Prints!"
"My daughter and I picked this card for her graduation party. We really liked the look of it and the options we could "play with" online when designing it. Once ordered, customer service called me to let me know of a small mistake I had made on my order and offered suggestions to fix it. Very nice, very helpful, and very communicative, not just then, but until the order was shipped. We received the cards just a few days later and I can say is PERFECT! We love them!"
"Needed graduation announcements fast and tiny prints was great. Got me going and helped with the mistakes I made. Very professional and knowledgeable. Even figured out my photo quality issue!"
"The paper weight and matte finish are excellent, giving the cards an elegant feel. I used a color photo and the result was stunning. Our friends and family have written and called to compliment us on the lovely graduation announcement cards we created using this design. A hit!"
"I didn't want to order the traditional invitations for my daughter. I thought they would be expensive and not very personal. My daughter agreed. I loved the graduation invitations from tinyprints and received lot's of compliments. Mainly how "unique" they were and "how refreshenly different from the traditional boring invitations." We were very pleased with our order and would recommend tinyprints to our family and friends."

Burrito. Maybe its not quite as big as your head but it is huge. It was rather flat and bland.
The Fajitas Special was nothing special and something I could easily make.
We returned another evening for some taco. At $1.90, the tacos are small and rather bland. The chirozo was flavorful but the al pastor and chicken were rather bland.
If there is a recurring theme with La Bamba, it is bland.

Welcome to the mountain
Head still spinning from my excursion I return to my hotel for my kit check and final briefing before the mountain. Time to focus! Back to Kilimanjaro!
All kit correct and accounted for I meet my fellow climbers, a couple from Canada and a couple from America, (there are two more at another hotel who we will meet at the gates) and our guide for our 9 day assault on the mountain, Faraja. We learn of our route and for the first time since I was about 9 years old I'm told what to wear! I decide on an early night tonight, not that it helps me much as I lie awake, nervous and excited, wondering…what if I don't make it????
I wake in my princess bed for the last time, tonight I'll be bedding down in a tent, my new home for just over a week! After a hardy breakfast we all gather in reception, ready to start our adventure…3 hours later, having signed our lives away we reach the gate (or tiny path into the jungle) and it all begins (well after a yummy lunch of course!)
The jungle is beautiful, I expect Tarzan to come swinging through the trees at any moment, huge trees draped in moss cover the skyline, fire ants scurry around our feet and monkeys play happily in the trees over head. The route is not too steep, as much down as up, or so it seems and 3.5 hours later we arrive at camp 1500 ft higher than we started at the trail head. We head to bed early, monkeys still playing overhead as tomorrow is a going to be a tough day.

Probabilistic Finite Element System (ProFES)
The Probabilistic Finite Element System (ProFES) application was developed by the Computational Mechanics Group of ARA's Southeast Division located in Raleigh, NC. ProFES allows you to quickly develop probabilistic models from your own model executables, analytical formulations, or finite element models. ProFES can be used in many ways, such as independently performing probabilistic simulations using functions internal to ProFES or functions that you manually type in, an add-on to your own model executables so you can perform probabilistic studies from your deterministic models, an add-on to the commercial finite element codes ANSYS and NASTRAN or to the commercial CAD package PATRAN, and you can assess the uncertainty inherent in any design or analysis situation and relate this uncertainty to product failure rates.
The ProFES GUI is designed to make it easy to perform probabilistic analyses, especially for non-experts. Random variables can be assigned to any of the variables that make up your analytical model or that are input to your model executable. In the case of finite element analyses, random variables can be assigned to loads, material properties, element properties, and boundary conditions. In the case of CAD analyses, as is the case with PATRAN, random variables can also be given to geometry features (in our case, the features are obtained by importing Unigraphics parts into PATRAN). Failure criteria (limit-states) are used to define failure as a function of your model results (e.g., output variables from your own models, displacements, strains, stresses, etc.). ProFES also includes utilities for seamlessly postprocessing your results (e.g., for probabilistic fatigue analysis). ProFES provides a library of random variables and utilizes state-of-the-art probabilistic analysis methods.
Probabilistic finite element analysis has advanced to the point that specialists can solve very complex problems. Computational methods for probabilistic mechanics are well developed and widely available, including FORM/SORM methods, static and adaptive response surface methods, simulation methods, and adaptive importance sampling.
ProFES places these tools in the hands of practitioners and makes them usable without extensive re-training and software development. ProFES includes an innovative data-driven architecture that has the look and feel of commercial CAD and pre-processing packages. The ProFES approach supports transparent interfaces to commercially available finite element packages and allows you to build your deterministic model in your preferred commercial pre-processing package. ProFES has been integrated with several major probabilistic computational methods along with an extensive library of random variable distributions.
ProFES is designed to work with commercially available finite element software. If your finite element software is not ANSYS or NASTRAN, you will write your own interface between your finite element software and ProFES by following a documented procedure.
There are five steps to performing probabilistic analysis:
- Import a finite element model
- Define the random variables
- Describe the failure criteria or limit state functions
- Run the analysis
- Review the results

text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Literary Revelation" first appeared in the September 2004 issue of Touchstone. Literary RevelationAs human beings are incurably nosy (I believe the vice is called curiositas), we find books more interesting if the author reveals his own attitude toward the subject. Paul Fussell's The Great War and Modern Memory was about the First World War, but it also was about Paul Fussell and how he reacted to his own experience in war, in which he had been dreadfully wounded in body and soul. Autobiographies attract us. St. Augustine's Confessions set a high standard of self-revelation. He was confessing not to us, but to God, and we are eavesdroppers (which makes it even better). He was also confessing not only his sins, but the work of God in his life, guiding him along paths that he would rather not have gone down. The middle-class provincial pagan boy wanted to make it in the big city (Rome or Milan) and not get stuck teaching catechism to dockworkers in North Africa. The Roman rhetorician and lawyer Augustine would have been a small footnote, at best, in Gibbon's Decline and Fall; Augustine the bishop of Hippo will dominate the Western Church until the Lord comes again, and people will read about his misadventure of the pear tree and his relationship with his illegitimate son Adeodatus as long as people read. (I thought the mother of the boy should have been given a more prominent role. Was Augustine's silence delicacy or misogyny?) Authors can try to be objective and conceal their own personalities. Thomas Aquinas manages an extraordinary objectivity in the Summa. He writes about God and man and redemption, but it is almost impossible to get a hint of his personal reactions. He would say that he was simply describing reality, and it is reality, and not Thomas Aquinas's reactions to it, that we should be interested in. But Thomas is part of reality also, and his clarity of intellect is a personal quality that we can admire even if we do not share it, and we would like to know a little more of how he reacted to life. We will learn, Deo volente, someday. Frequently the author attracts us more than the subject. Anything Chesterton wrote on is interesting because he wrote on it. He was not writing about himself, but whether he wanted to or not, Chesterton always comes through in his essays. Even when he was wrong, he was always an attractive person. Goethe's writing also conveys the impression that he was a decent chap and interesting person, someone with whom you might disagree but would nevertheless enjoy sharing a long stagecoach ride from Frankfurt to Weimar. Montaigne, founder of the modern essay, warned his readers that he was writing about himself and he had no idea why anyone would be interested in him. But Montaigne was a very interesting person—not a saint, but a Christian gentleman who lived in troubled times and disliked Christians torturing and murdering one another. Knowing the Writer The reader is not wrong in wanting to know what the author is like. We want to know whether the author is a decent, honest human being. Can we trust him? Would he lie to us or manipulate us while pretending to tell the truth? Is he the sort of person whose judgment one can trust, or is he a monomaniac, a propagandist, or worst of all, a politician? There is also a certain book which, however interesting in itself, is mainly interesting because it reveals its Author. When I was 15 and read the Bible cover-to-cover for the first time, what impressed me (and I don't think it was a side-effect of translation) was the unified point of view of the Scriptures. Everything was described, ultimately, from God's point of view. The various human authors did not disappear, but they presumed to evaluate things as God would evaluate them, whether it was the proper ritual in the Temple, the role of Cyrus in world history, or the reason that Pontius Pilate became governor of Judea. God reveals himself through his Word, so words have a privileged role in the way we come to know God. Jesus did not simply come to live and die and rise again, but also to teach us what these actions meant, and to tell stories that revealed a great deal about us, but even more about the storyteller. The sacraments he left for us are not dumb shows, but are accompanied by words that explain what God means by them. The stories and gifts are nice, but what we would like to know (and ultimately this is what matters) is what they reveal about the character of the Giver. Leon J. Podles holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Virginia and has worked as a teacher and a federal investigator. He is the author of The Church Impotent: The Feminization of Christianity and the forthcoming License to Sin (both from Spence Publishing). Dr. Podles and his wife have six children and live in Naples, Florida. He is a senior editor of Touchstone. "Literary Revelation" first appeared in the September 2004 issue of Touchstone. If you enjoyed this article, you'll find more of the same in every issue. Letters Welcome: One of the reasons Touchstone exists is to encourage conversation among Christians, so we welcome letters responding to articles or raising matters of interest to our readers.

S4 : In 1964 G.M.H released the S4 sedan . This was a purpose built vehicle designed for racing at Bathurst. The rules stipulated that for a vehicle to be eligable to race the manufacturer had to produce a certain number of the same vehicle for sale to the general public . I have been unable to verify how many were made . Some say only 5 whilst others say 150 . Pictured above . This was the Red S4 (Yes its a black and white photo) raced at Bathurst by Brian Muir being chased by the White Jaguar of one Bob Jane ... Easter 1964 The Car : The S4 was basically a standard EH sedan with the following Modifications . (Specs taken from original GMH EH Workshop manual ) Model Identification: EH / 225 M - S.4. Engine
; 179 Cu Inch . Clutch
; Transmission : The synchromesh transmission is basically the same as that fitted to the EJ model except that the transmission case mountings bolt spacing has been increased . In addition the gear shifter crank assembly , the shifter and selector rods have been redesigned to provide adequate operating clearances from the clutch housing . The transmission assembly is identifiable by the suffix S.4 added to the serial number . Rear Axle : The gear ratio of 3.55:1 is fitted and the gear case is made of Nodular Iron . Brakes :Brake linings and shoes remain the same as the standard sedan however a change has been made to the Brake Shoe Retracting spring , brake shoe hold down spring and pin assembly. Power Brakes are also standard on the S4 Model Fuel Tank : The fuel tank capacity has been increased to 12 (imp) gallons by enlarging the lower half of the tank . The fuel gauge tank unit has been revised to suit . At the Races : In 1964 Brian Muir arrived at the Mount Panarama track with his new S4 Holden . Up against much improved Cooper mini's , the Ford Cortina GT of Ian Geoghegan and Harry Firth and the big white Jaguar of Bob Jane . Bob Jane began practice with a time of 2:55.8 and a speed of 140.mph down Con Rod . Brian Muir in the S4 managed a 2:58.9 at 130 MPH . Leo Gioacchino Ford Cortina GT on a 2:58.9 and Harry Firth 's Ford Cortina GT on a 3:02 . The main race for these cars was a 3 lap race . The race was won by Bob Jane in the big Jag , setting a new lap record of 2:55.9 at 146.34 MPH followed only seconds behind by ...you guessed it ...Brian Muir's S4 Holden .A top speed of 129 MPH and 2:57 despite an overheating problem ! The official results were Race Results
Muir campaigned the S4 again in 1965 and up against the mighty V8 Mustang
of Bob Jane and the Lotus powered Cortina of Ian Geoghegan the lights changed
and what followed was 10 laps of pure motor racing . Before completing the
first lap Muir had to pit to fix a loose bonnet clip . Rejoining the race
he worked his way back to 4 th . By the second last lap the mighty mustang
that had led all the way was slowing with a broken fan belt . Muir surged
past the lotus powered Cortina and the mighty Mini to be side by side with
the V8 mustang at the line but Ian Geoghegan took the trophy with the mustang
The official results were Race Results

PHOENIX -- The Winner of the St. Joseph's Hospital 'Bounce with the Suns Contest' is recovering after dribbling a basketball for nearly 54 hours to win a prize that is priceless to him and his son.
Mike Ornoski, of Glendale, dribbled from Sunday, April 1 at 9:00 a.m. until around 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3.
"My arms are a little sore, but mainly my feet are hurting from being on them for 50 some hours," Ornoski said.
To be exact, Ornoski dribbled 53 hours and 45 minutes, winning the 4th annual dribble competition, presented by the St. Joseph's Health & Wealth Raffle, benefitting St. Joseph's Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute.
The contest started with 58 Suns fans all wanting to claim the prize Ornoski now has in his hot little hands: A road trip for two with the Phoenix Suns during the 2012-13 season.
The trip includes air transportation on the Suns' charter plane, hotel accommodations and game tickets to watch the Suns in action.
"I had no idea what I was getting myself into," said Ornoski. "It was an awesome experience and I did it all for my son. He was my motivation."
Since its inception in 2003, St. Joseph's Health & Wealth Raffle has raised $52 million benefiting St. Joseph's Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute, the largest hospital in the state of Arizona.
