Page 2 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 OPENING TEMPLATES Installed are from Microsoft My Templates are templates that you create and save Look for Recently used tem- plates for convenience Microsoft has templates avail- able to download from their website. Since our Internet connection is so fast, this takes no longer than open- ing a file saved on your computer or on our server.* New From Existing allows you to open an already formatted document as a new template, ready to delete old data, add new data without having to recreate the formatting *Some templates require validation—follow the prompts to validate. This means that if you do not have a legally installed version of Office you will not be able to open these templates. Page 3 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 When you start Excel, you open a file called a work- book. Each new workbook comes with three worksheets. The Worksheets are where you enter data. They con- tain Cells, Columns and Rows Each worksheet has a name on the sheet tab at the bottom left of the workbook window. To add additional worksheets click on the Insert Worksheet Icon, click on the Home Tab > Cells > Insert > Insert Worksheet or right-click on one of the worksheet tabs and select Insert To delete extra worksheets do the opposite, click on the Home Tab > Cells > De- lete Worksheet, or right- click and select Delete. To add or delete more than one tab at a time, hold down control and click on the number of tabs you want to add or the specific tabs you want to delete. Page 4 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 Then right-click on one of the selected tabs and choose Insert or Delete. Excel opens with Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3. Re- name the sheet tabs to make the information on each sheet easier to iden- tify. N ames might play a part in a formula. Keep them simple, and don't use spaces If you need to separate words either make the first letter capitalized or use an underscore (JanuaryBudget or January_Budget) Right-clicking on a tab gives you other options, too, including adding pre-defined and moving or copying a worksheet to a dif- ferent place in this workbook, or to a different workbook. You can also make your worksheets eas- ier to visualize by changing the color of the tab. Page 5 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 In the anatomy of the cell displayed above, you see that there are many dif- ferent components to a cell. The Cell Contents that area displayed in the cell are called the value. The value of a cell can be text, a date, or a number. What you see in the cell is what is printed. The value of a cell can also be the result of a formula that adds, subtracts, or does other mathematical calculation. The contents of cell is shown in the formula bar. Text will display as text,. A formula will display in the formula bar as the formula. In the cell you will see the result of the calcula- tion, the value. Page 6 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 WORKSHEETS ARE MADE OF COLUMNS, ROWS, AND CELLS Columns go from top to bottom on the worksheet, vertically Rows go from left to right on the work- sheet, horizontally A cell is the place where one column and one row meet Columns and rows have headings: Each column has an alphabetical heading at the top. Each row has a numeric heading. The Cell Row is the identifier of the vertical position, extending across the entire range of the sheet from 1 to over 1,000,000!. The Cell Column is the identifier of the horizontal position, up and down the entire range of the sheet from A to XFD. The Cell Location is the coordinates of the cell that is currently the ac- tive cell (A3, or XFD10,333). Page 7 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 EVERYTHING IN EXCEL STARTS WITH THE CELL. Cells are where you enter data in a worksheet. A cell is a placeholder of data, numbers, formulas, or nothing. The alphabetical headings on the columns and the numerical headings on the rows tell you where you are in a worksheet when you click a cell. The active cell is the one with a bold black frame around it. When you open a new workbook, the first cell in the upper-left corner of the worksheet you see is outlined in black, indicating that any data you enter will go there. You can enter data wherever you like by clicking any cell in the worksheet to select the cell. When you select any cell, it becomes the active cell. When a cell is active, it is outlined in black, and the headings for the column and the row in which the cell is located are highlighted. The Column and Row letters/numbers are highlighted For example, if you select a cell in column C on row 5: Column C is highlighted. Row 5 is highlighted. Page 8 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 This is named cell C5 The active cell is name is shown in the Name Box in the upper-left corner of the worksheet.. This is the Cell Reference. All of these indicators are not too important when you're right at the very top of the work- sheet in the very first few cells. But when you work further and further down or across the worksheet, they become necessary. It's important to know the cell reference if you need to tell someone where specific data is located in a worksheet. Suppose, for example, that your mortgage payment, your bonus, or your raise is located in cell E35 (or cell BF684). But, mostly, cell references are what comprises formulas, calculations of some kind involving numbers and math. Math that you do not have to use a 10-key to add yourself. FORMATTING YOUR CELLS From the home tab, in the Number Group, click on the pull-down arrow next to General. This list shows the basic number formatting options. Cells in a worksheet can have many different formats: Formatting a cell is what defines it as text or num- ber, or a few other options. If you are using your data in a specific cell in a calculation, then it must be formatted as a number. Page 9 Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 For more Cell Formatting options, click on the Dialog Box Launcher, or lick on More Number Formats for further op- tions. FORMATTING CELLS TO HANDLE CURRENCY To configure cells to format entered data as currency select the cells you wish to format and click the $ symbol in the numbers group on the Office Ribbon's home tab. The default format for this button is ACCOUNTING, which aligns the $ to the left of the cell while the number is aligned to the right of the same cell. If you select CURRENCY the $ is aligned tight against the num- ber. The decimal point is always two places for Currency or Accounting. If a negative number is entered in a cell formatted for accounting it will be displayed in parenthesis, if entered in a cell formatted for currency, a minus sign is appended to the front of the data. Page Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 TIPS FOR ENTERING TEXT When entering data, it doesn't ―set‖ it into the cell until you either press Enter or Tab. Enter moves down one row Tab moves one cell to the right ENTERING DATES AND TIMES To enter a date use a slash or a hy- phen to separate the parts: 7/16/2008 or 16-July-2008. Excel recognizes this as a date, and as- sumes the current year, so just enter- ing 7/16 will actually be entered as 7/16/2008 even if you are only view- ing the format 16-July. To change the date format go to the Home Tab > Number and click on the Pull-down arrow by General. TIP: To enter today's date, press CTRL and the semicolon together. To en- ter the current time, press CTRL and SHIFT and the semicolon all at once. To enter a time, type the numbers, a space, and then ―a‖ or ―p‖ — for exam- ple, 9:00 p. If you put in just the number, Excel recognizes a time and en- ters it as PM. Page Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 ENTERING NUMBERS When entering numbers Excel defaults to view- ing the number in the cell without the decimal. To change the number format that is viewed in the cell, go to the Home Tab > Number Group. Change by the command buttons in the group, or use the Dialog Box Launcher for more op- tions. OTHER NUMBERS AND HOW TO ENTER THEM: To enter fractions, leave a space between the whole number and the fraction. For example, 1 1/8. To enter a fraction only, enter a zero first. For example, 0 1/4. If you en- ter 1/4 without the zero, or Excel will interpret the number as a date, January 4. Enter a negative number by enclosing it in parentheses. If you type (100), Excel will display the number as -100. TIPS FOR ENTERING DATA AutoFill. Enter the months of the year, the days of the week, multiples of 2 or 3, or other data in a series. To AutoFill, type n January, February. Click on the grab handle and drag to the number of cells you want to fill. Release the mouse to enter the series. Page Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 MORE TIPS FOR ENTERING DATA AutoComplete. If the first few letters you type in a cell match an entry you've already made in that column, Excel will fill in the remaining char- acters for you. Just press ENTER when you see them added. EDITING CELLS What happens when you have entered the data, but you need to change it? You edit letters or numbers by selecting them and then typing something different. There are two ways to select the cells for editing: Double-click a cell to edit the data in it. Click the cell, and then edit the data in the formula bar. What's the difference? Your convenience. You may find the formula bar, or the cell itself, easier to work with. Whatever you do, when you're all through, remember to press ENTER or TAB so that your changes stay in the cell. REMOVING FORMATTING, DELETING DATA Excel doesn't work like it does in Word. When you copy or delete a cell's contents, it deletes just that. The formatting (bold, currency, number) re- mains. Excel assumes that when you once format a column to number or text, that is what all content will be. To remove formatting from a cell you must change it. You cannot delete it. Page Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 BORDERING The gray lines you see on a spread sheet do not print. They are called Grid- lines. In order to print borders, you must format them. You can do this a number of ways. Select the area you want bordered. Right-Click on the selection and choose Format Cells. Or, Right-Click on the selection and using the Mini- Toolbar, click on the pull-down arrow to quickly pick the border you need. TIP: If you can't remember how to do almost anything, select it, point at it and Right-Click. That will bring up a short-cut menu with most options. And, TIP WITHIN A TIP—Many of the options you need for most tasks in Windows and Of- fice, that you need to do are going to be avail- able by Right-Clicking. Page Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 VIEWING AND PRINTING It isn't enough to just enter data and write formulas. You have to do some- thing with it, and that something usually in- volves printing. Printing in Excel is different than a Word document where you just click on Print and away it goes to the printer. In Excel you can tell it what to print, and how to print. Say you have a document that has data you don't want printer—columns or rows that might have data necessary for calculations, but aren't necessary on your pretty spreadsheet. You can set the Print Area, telling Excel exactly what columns and rows you want to be on your printed spreadsheet. The settings you need are on the Page Layout Tab, in the Page Setup and Scale to Fit groups. If you have too much data to fit on one page, Excel has a Scale to Fit option that scales the data to fit on the page how you need it (say, 1 page by 1 page), without you having to reformat the pages manually. Note that you can also use the Dialog Box Launcher to open the Page Setup Dialog Box for this and other options. Page Exploring Microsoft Excel 2007 A TOTALLY NEW VIEW View > Workbook Views > Page Layout Page Preview is a great way to see exactly what your page will look like when it is printed. Looking at a spreadsheet is not going to show you that. All of the nice gridlines (which do not, print, by the way) are great for showing you each cell, but it gets in the way when you want to see just the data. Ex- cel now provides a way to look at your spreadsheet in an entirely new way. From here you can also add Headers and Footers. When you click in the ―Click to Add Header‖ area, another Tab will appear, Header and Footers Tools. From here there are a whole world of options. NEXT: Learning Formulas Page

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Surprise! Sometimes things do go right
As I read the article about stolen aid in Somalia in Tuesday's Free Press (Food aid for Somalis stolen, sold at markets), I thought: "Yep -- right on schedule."
And what schedule is that? Just as there are stages to a natural disaster, there are stages to how the media report about it.
Simply put, the stages of a natural disaster for international aid groups begin with discovery of the need, moves to respond and then, many months or years later, end with recovery -- helping people address long-term food-security needs so they aren't as severely impacted if another crisis hits.
The media follow a similar trajectory, beginning with the first alarming reports of dire need. What follows are the always-welcome encouragements for people to respond, along with stories of how people in need are being assisted. It then turns, with sad predictability, to stories about stolen or misappropriated aid.
And that is where we are at today.
According to the story from The Associated Press -- which has been carried, to date, by more than 800 media outlets -- thousands of sacks of food aid meant for Somalia's famine victims have been stolen and are being sold at markets in the same neighbourhoods "where skeletal children in filthy refugee camps can't find enough to eat."
The story goes on to say the UN's World Food Program acknowledged it has been investigating food theft in Somalia for two months, but that the scale of the famine crisis does not allow for a suspension of assistance.
Any loss of food aid, no matter how it happens, is regrettable. Nobody wants to see it occur, least of all aid groups. But aid groups also know that things can go wrong, especially in places where security is lax or non-existent, when lawlessness abounds, corruption is rampant and where too many people have guns and aren't afraid to use them.
As for aid for sale in markets, it's not always what it seems. Some of it may indeed be stolen. But some of it may also have been sold by needy recipients in order to obtain cash to buy even more food or other kinds of food or other essential and needed items.
In aid parlance, this is known as a "resource transfer." Needy people are still helped, albeit in a different way than intended.
When aid is stolen or is found for sale in the market, the media's focus is usually on what's gone wrong. But what's more amazing is how much actually goes right, considering the incredibly difficult circumstances facing aid groups during emergencies like the one in eastern Africa. If you were planning to feed people, you probably wouldn't plan to do it there, for so many, in a place where there's no food, the roads are poor, housing is in short supply, conditions are harsh, and local authorities and systems are completely overwhelmed.
But that's where they are, so it's where aid groups need to be.
I don't mean to dump on the media; without them, international aid groups would never be able to raise the amount of money needed to help people caught in crisis. They are vital to mobilizing Canadians to help people facing death or ruin in the developing world. Those of us who work in international relief and development deeply appreciate their help.
But articles like the one about stolen aid can also have the sad effect of dampening Canadian enthusiasm for giving. And that would be truly unfortunate.
Nobody wants to see aid stolen -- aid groups least of all. They work hard to ensure that donations get to those who need help. This means planning for every contingency, including loss. They don't like it, but they know they can't stop helping the most vulnerable because some of their aid went missing.
There are places in the world where donations would never be stolen, lost or misappropriated -- places where the government always works well, laws are enforced and respected, roads are in great condition, there is no war or conflict, housing isn't an issue, and people feel secure.
The last time I checked, though, a country like Switzerland doesn't need any food aid.
John Longhurst directs resources and public engagement for Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end hunger.

Box Office (Specialty): 'The Book Thief' Overcomes Mixed Reviews to Post $27,000 Average
Word of mouth propelled Fox 2000's The Book Thief to a solid opening at the North American box office despite mixed reviews.
The Nazi drama, from Downton Abbey director Brian Percival and based on Markus Zusak's novel, grossed $108,000 from four theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a location average of $27,000, the best of the weekend.
The movie got off to a soft start Friday but recovered to some degree when traffic shot up 80 percent on Saturday, compared to the expected 40 to 45 percent. "Word of mouth is clearly kicking in," said Fox distribution chief Chris Aronson.
BOX OFFICE: 'Thor 2' Hammers Home $86.1 Mil Domestic Debut, Hits $327 Mil Globally
The Book Thief tells the story of Liesel Meminger (Sophie Nelisse) when she goes to live with her German foster parents (Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson), who harbor a young Jewish refugee after World War II breaks out.
The drama will slowly expand and be playing in roughly 400 to 500 theaters by Thanksgiving weekend.
The weekend's other high-profile opening was The Armstrong Lie, Alex Gibney's documentary about disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. The film fared poorly in its debut, grossing a tepid $20,904 from five theaters -- including one in Austin, Armstrong's hometown -- for a location average of $6,181. Sony Pictures Classics is distributing the film domestically.
Among holdovers, Focus Features' awards contender Dallas Buyers Club did solid business in its second weekend, grossing $692,038 as it expanded into a total of 35 theaters for a location average of $17,973 and cume of nearly $1 million. The AIDS pharmaceutical drama stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto.
Roadside Attractions' All Is Lost, directed by J.C. Chandor and Robert Redford, continued to hold its own as it expanded into a total of 401 theaters, grossing $1.2 million for a domestic total of $2.9 million.

Vestas lease may revive office market
- Wendy Culverwell
In a leasing market dominated by government activity, the decision by Danish wind turbine maker Vestas Wind Systems A/S to secure 133,258 square feet of office space in the Pearl District is a breath of fresh air.
To date for 2010, government-related leasing has accounted for nearly 65 percent of major leasing activity in downtown Portland.
Vestas' decision to transform the historic Meier & Frank Depot Building, 1417 N.W. Everett St., into its North American headquarters offers strong evidence the private sector is on the brink of a revival.
"This is the tipping point for the private sector," said Brian Owendoff, managing director for the Portland office of CB Richard Ellis, a commercial real estate firm.
Government activity led the market while private businesses chose a wait-and-see stance. As a result, three of the top 10 deals completed through Aug. 3 involved the U.S. government, or the Oregon Institute of Technology, which leased nearly 132,000 square feet in Wilsonville in June.
"It's so exciting to see a company playing offense instead of defense," said David Squire, managing director of real estate firm Grubb & Ellis Co.
Vestas' choice of Portland for its headquarters followed an expansive search and bolsters the city's image as a center for sustainability, said Jeff Borlaug, brokerage director for NAI Norris, Beggs & Simpson, who noted that until now, most activity has centered on industrial facilities for wind and solar manufacturers.
"Now we're seeing it in the office sector," said Borlaug, whose firm was involved in the lease transaction.
Officially, the deal makes the Meier & Frank building Vestas' North American headquarters. The agreement covers a total of 182,000 square feet and includes 133,258 square feet of office space and about 49,000 square feet of garage space.
Gerding Edlen Development Co. will invest approximately $66 million to modernize the building and construct a 22,000-square-foot fifth floor. The firm will sublease about 6,500 square feet from Vestas for its own headquarters, having moved out of the Brewery Blocks earlier this year.
Vestas employs about 400 at four locations in downtown Portland. The new quarters will consolidate the team and allow it to eventually grow to as many as 600 workers.
Mark Edlen, principal of Gerding Edlen, said the firm expects to select between two financing packages in the next two weeks and will break ground in October. Vestas is expected to move in the first quarter of 2012.
The project will employ more than 400 construction workers and another 250 indirect workers, such as architects and engineers. Edlen said the firm is committed to hiring disadvantaged firms to work on the project.
The project will qualify for the U.S. Green Building Council's platinum LEED designation with features such as a large rooftop solar system and a rainwater harvesting system to run irrigation and toilet systems. Edlen said there will be no wind turbines on top of the Meier & Frank Depot. It is precluded by its listing on the National Registry of Historic Buildings, and because Vestas-made wind turbines are too large for rooftop use.

Mr. Murray worked hard to design a new style of boot that provides a lightweight construction with mid range support and a comfortable feel. The new Murray boot is not only designed and built like a true piece of footwear but also interfaces with the System binding allowing additional external support and response. The lightweight EVA outsole and TPR impact pods provide great cushioning under foot. Custom insoles with integrated arch support cradle the foot for maximum stability. Our exclusive Ultralon heat moldable liner material creates a custom fit and comfort throughout the boot. The Murray also features a one piece cuff and mid range support making it a great choice for riders that like a little added support without limited flexion.

Christina Milian's Hot Mom Booty In A Bikini
Guess what? It's booty time here at HollywoodTuna. Here's Christina Milian back on the beach with the family in another little bikini, but this time she thought it would be nice to give us a few shots of that sweet big mom booty of hers. Yes please. I thought mom butts were supposed to be flat and weird looking, this thing is perfect. I especially love it when hotties do the over the shoulder booty shots, that to me says "I know what you're looking at and I hope you enjoy it"…. I am.

It's commonly known from a song called "Patience" from Damien Marley, and Nas. Sabali means "patience". There's a whole phrase that is said in the song's hook though, and it goes "Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkontê Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye Ni kêra môgô". The whole phrase means "Patience, Patience, Patience, it's what the world is about. Patience, Patience, Patience, let's all join souls".

First, a question with which few biogeographers bother. If a goodly chunk of their discipline is dedicated to veiling the impact capitalism imposes on the natural world (discussed here and here), how can researchers interested in paying their bills study the crises that threaten the posh gamblers for whom, however distally, they ultimately work?
For those who study pathogens, the answer is a short one. Focus on viruses and bacteria as biomedical objects alone. The spread and evolution of these lil' nasties can be tracked underneath the microscope or, at the public health level, across computer maps, but rarely over their rough-and-tumble geographies.
Otherwise, the problem of a pathogen, already treacherous, becomes in such a political context nigh impossible. God forbid, researchers might be forced to study the social relationships that bind together and separate out populations across capitalist landscapes near and far.

An outbreak of highly infectious measles starting at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, has spread to eight U.S. states and Mexico. Arizona, one state hit, is presently monitoring 1000 people linked to Disneyland visitors and subsequent exposures.
With good reason, much attention has been placed on the role the anti-vax movement has played in both the initial outbreak and its subsequent spread. In 2014, before the outbreak, U.S. measles clocked in at three times the cases (644) than any of the ten years previous.
The outbreak may represent a second scandal.
Five years ago Disney objected to suggestions the theme park and resort, drawing 15 million visitors a year from around the world, was a potential amplifier for infectious diseases.

The past offers us some unlikely lessons. Agriculture, for one, wasn't so much a bright idea as a damning necessity for populations forced upon overhunting to scavenge for food. Subsequent shifts in food regimes, including those under way today, were likewise defined by such path-dependent contingency.
At the same time, history appears to have produced an illusion of inevitable existence. Humanity was able to repeatedly overcome food and other resource limitations, even as archaeological strata are also littered with dead civilizations. These near-misses, however, can offer no sample sufficiently…

Re-balancing … everything?

In a particularly insightful comment to a recent blog post of mine, Jahi Chappell challenged the ultimate benefits of ever-increasing specialisation. Having thought about this a bit, I was struck by the generality of what this may mean. I was amazed by just how often, the problems we discuss in sustainability science result from society having favoured specialisation over balance. In this blog post, I just want to substantiate this observation by highlighting well-known examples where re-balancing would have benefits for sustainability. There is no particular order to these examples.
The time budgets of individuals. Let's start with the point that Jahi raised – the time budgets of individuals are increasingly lob-sided. We're encouraged to be super-stars (= workaholics) in one thing, rather than spreading our time across a variety of things; rather than "just being" (in Jahi's words) in our communities.

Too cool not to share: First global estimate on urban ag!
A paper from an international team of researchers just came out, estimating that urban ag composes 11% of all irrigated cropland and 4.7% of all rainfed cropland.
While you can't just add these two numbers to get a total extent of urban ag*, it seems nevertheless striking that such a very approximate total would give 15.7% of cropland–very close to the USDA's uncited estimate of 15% that appeared on their urban agriculture homepage, at least, it did between Feb. 2012 and March 2013. For some reason, after the latter date, the page was updated to include no estimate whatsoever. Given that it appeared to be a "guestimate", perhaps that's understandable. But given this recent paper, it seems (a) that estimate, or the more precise one given by Thebo et al. by breaking out rainfed and irrigated separately, should return to the website, and (b) the idea that urban/peri-urban agriculture will not/does not significantly contribute to food security should be banished to the dustbins of history. (At least until a contrary study appears?)
And I can't help but note that this does give grist to my previous comment: as important as I think organic/agroecological agriculture is, this latest evidence does indeed imply that "urban food production may be many times larger than the organic sector"–and so it should garner our sustained and increasing attention, I'd say.
* "…their sum does not necessarily represent the total urban cropland area when the maximum extent of irrigated and rainfed croplands occurs in different months."

New report out from IATP on "agrodemocracy": Deepening Food Democracy!
IATP has just released a report by my former intern Jill Carlson and I beginning to explore the connections between agrarian citizenship, food democracy, and food sovereignty. Blog from IATP announcing it, and link to the report, below:
Drawing upon citizens' voices: Deep democracy in action
Posted January 14, 2015 on IATP's ThinkForward
by Jill Carlson & Dr. M. Jahi Chappell
What does it mean to participate in a democracy? Does the answer change when it comes to the food system? After all, as IATP's latest report, Deepening Food Democracy, illustrates, for every corporate lobbyist exercising control in Washington, there is a food movement participant changing the food landscape in their local community.
This past November was in many ways a typical one for American politics—although the turnout rate of just 36 percent of eligible voters was a low not reached since 1942, it was only five points lower than the 2010 midterm elections, and totally in line with the fact that the last time at least half of eligible Americans went to the polls outside of a presidential election year was literally 100 years ago: 50.4 percent in 1914. Happy 100th b-day, minimally adequate participation in American democracy!
Alas, the historically low turn-out is not because things are historically good—food insecurity remains steady at over 14 percent, with "very low food security"—hunger—staying near six percent, or about 18 million Americans. We face numerous other challenges in our food system, alongside continued and historic levels of wealth and income inequality that our politicians seem little-inclined to address. Despite voter priorities and majority agreement on many issues like supporting education, protecting the environment and confronting corporate control[i]; despite the fact that sizeable majority of Republican and Republican-leaning citizens believe in climate change, and believe their elected officials are not responsive to their views; despite the fact that Americans underestimate wealth inequality and cite a much fairer split of wealth as their ideal; despite all this, only about a third of us turned out for an election where two-thirds of us think the country is headed in the wrong direction.
But these seeming inconsistencies are tempered by the fact we do not live in a system that rewards our political involvement with political responsibility. The limited vision of democracy where voting every two to four years is the primary duty, and the full extent of our democratic responsibility, describes what Raj Patel has called a "complainocracy"—a system that makes us cynical, because we've been led to believe that this kind of democratic practice is the full flowering of the democracy we've been promised. If this kind of hollow, empty process is the best of democracy, then many of us likely reason that we may as well not get too involved in it.
At the same time, we see change and cracks in the edifice showing us that another world IS possible. Indeed, in many ways, it is already here. People know change is needed, and are acting on it—from the Seattle protests in 1999 to Occupy to #BlackLivesMatter; from protests in Brazil over World Cup displacements, to We Are Fed Up against agribusiness, in Germany, the recent protest against police brutality at the Mall of America, and September's People's Climate March—the movement from knowledge to action continues. As radical Brazilian educator Paulo Freire said, we make the path by walking it—we learn how to birth new alternatives and live a new democracy in the process of pushing for it and doing it.
This is why IATP is proud to release our report, Deepening Food Democracy, which looks at examples from around the world, but particularly within the United States, where people are creating new ways of participating in democracy; new ways to engage and change our political systems; new ways of making autonomy and food sovereignty—a food system of the people, by the people, and for all people—practical and real. From food policy councils in North Carolina to participatory budgeting around the world, from Rural Climate Dialogues to Citizen Technology Reviews, we are building and living the tools to turn the system around.
In a way, these examples can still seem like so little when matched against the great tidal forces of powerful corporations and unresponsive governments. But we must see these new and growing alternatives for what they are—the building blocks, the tools for large-scale and lasting change. No movement started out knowing it would succeed; those we admire in generations before did not see the end of the path clearly, did not hear the accolades the future would bring them when they went out to push for change; it is only in retrospect that we put all their efforts together into a righteous effort destined to succeed. But we hope that this report shows that we are increasingly equipped to create the better alternative that we dream of, and the next steps towards a just, agroecological, and food sovereign future are right before us. We need only to keep stepping forward together.
Read IATP's new report, Deepening Food Democracy, for more.
[i] For example, 71% of the general public believes that we should do whatever it takes to protect the environment; 56% believe that corporations make too much profit, and 78% believe that too much power is concentrated in the hands of a few large companies.

Paper to note: Agricultural Intensification Exacerbates Spillover Effects on Soil Biogeochemistry in Adjacent Forest Remnants
- Published: January 9, 2015
- DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0116474
Land-use intensification is a central element in proposed strategies to address global food security. One rationale for accepting the negative consequences of land-use intensification for farmland biodiversity is that it could 'spare' further expansion of agriculture into remaining natural habitats. However, in many regions of the world the only natural habitats that can be spared are fragments within landscapes dominated by agriculture. Therefore, land-sparing arguments hinge on land-use intensification having low spillover effects into adjacent protected areas, otherwise net conservation gains will diminish with increasing intensification. We test, for the first time, whether the degree of spillover from farmland into adjacent natural habitats scales in magnitude with increasing land-use intensity. We identified a continuous land-use intensity gradient across pastoral farming systems in New Zealand (based on 13 components of farmer input and soil biogeochemistry variables), and measured cumulative off-site spillover effects of fertilisers and livestock on soil biogeochemistry in 21 adjacent forest remnants. Ten of 11 measured soil properties differed significantly between remnants and intact-forest reference sites, for both fenced and unfenced remnants, at both edge and interior. For seven variables, the magnitude of effects scaled significantly with magnitude of surrounding land-use intensity, through complex interactions with fencing and edge effects. In particular, total C, total N, δ15N, total P and heavy-metal contaminants of phosphate fertilizers (Cd and U) increased significantly within remnants in response to increasing land-use intensity, and these effects were exacerbated in unfenced relative to fenced remnants. This suggests movement of livestock into surrounding natural habitats is a significant component of agricultural spillover, but pervasive changes in soil biogeochemistry still occur through nutrient spillover channels alone, even in fenced remnants set aside for conservation. These results have important implications for the viability of land-sparing as a strategy for balancing landscape-level conservation and production goals in agricultural landscapes.

At the ASPCA, we believe that all animals deserve to be protected under the law—and we're thrilled to announce that Arizona Governor Doug Ducey agrees!
In a strong message to the industrial agriculture lobby, Governor Ducey issued his first-ever veto on H.B. 2150, a dangerous bill intended to roll back protections for farm animals—which, in Arizona, includes horses—by removing them from the state's cruelty code and placing them in a separate section of law with weaker protections. If enacted, this bill would have also stripped municipalities of their abilities to pass stronger animal welfare and food safety standards, and could have impeded law enforcement from investigating animal abuse.
The veto comes at the heels of the ASPCA's recently launched #OpenTheBarns campaign, a rallying cry for advocates to share their reasons to "open the barns" and protect the public's right to know what is happening on America's farms.
The ASPCA thanks Governor Ducey for honoring his commitment to animal welfare and standing with Arizona's citizens by affirming that every animal deserves protection.
If you're an Arizona resident, please call Governor Ducey's office in Phoenix at (602) 542-4331 or visit our Advocacy Center to thank him for vetoing this bill.
Not an Arizona resident? Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to get important updates on animal-welfare-related legislation and how you can make a difference for the animals in your state.
In honor of National Dog Fighting Awareness Day on April 8, we're teaming up with professional wrestler and animal lover AJ Lee to ask animal advocates across the country to get tough on dog fighting.
"Growing up, my family and I lived in very poor, very dangerous areas and dog fighting was prevalent," AJ says. Her family fostered former fighting dogs and eventually adopted a pup named Mugsy, whose sweet nature inspired AJ's love of the pit bull breed and commitment to rescue dogs.
Alongside passionate animal supporters like AJ, we're working to eradicate dog fighting by advocating for stronger laws and harsher sentencing for those who fight dogs and by assisting with raids and rescues. But we can't do it alone.
That's why we're calling on you to join our #GetTough campaign. Visit aspca.org/GetTough to get involved in three ways:
- Take action by signing our petition asking the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to continue to crack down on dog fighting.
- Download our FREE digital toolkit including, social media shareables, a printable poster and more!
- Snap a selfie with our printable poster and share it your social media channels using the hashtag #GetTough.
Please visit aspca.org/GetTough to spread the word today and help us eliminate this form of cruelty for good!
By Matt Bershadker, ASPCA President & CEO
As Big Ag continues its efforts to conceal the truth about how animals suffer on factory farms, the ASPCA and advocates continue our counterattack to protect the public's right to know what goes on there.
"Ag-gag" bills, conceived and pushed by the agricultural industry to criminalize undercover investigations on factory farms, have been introduced in nearly half of all U.S. states. These measures are intended to silence factory farm whistleblowers—removing protection from vulnerable animals who need it and giving it to powerful corporations who hide behind it.
Last week, we launched #OpenTheBarns, a rallying cry of advocates representing interests as diverse as animal welfare, food safety, workers' rights, environmental protection, and civil liberties.
On Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media avenues, groups like Food and Water Watch, the Government Accountability Project, the Socially Responsible Agriculture Project, and the National Consumers League are sharing their reasons to #OpenTheBarns.
Because food workers fill our plates, and they deserve a voice #OpenTheBarns— Nat'lConsumersLeague (@ncl_tweets) March 24, 2015
Even some farmers are part of the movement, because those who have nothing to fear have nothing to hide. They include Maryland's Carole Morison, the whistle-blowing chicken farmer who was featured in the documentary Food Inc.; Georgia farmer and American Grassfed Alliance vice president Will Harris; and Oregon farmer and Socially Responsible Agriculture CEO Kendra Kimbiraskas.

Average Americans are also speaking their minds, because these issues matter to them. In a 2012 poll, 94 percent of the American public agreed that "from every step of their lives on a farm, farm animals should be treated in a way that inflicts the least amount of pain and suffering possible." In the same poll, 71 percent of American adults said they support undercover investigative efforts to expose farm animal abuse on industrial farms, and 64 percent opposed making such investigations illegal.
In a 2014 poll, 81 percent of consumers said that chickens—the farm animals most often raised for food—should be humanely raised. That alone covers 9 billion animals.
Celebrities and Members of Congress are also adding their voices to the dialogue, including Portia de Rossi, Martha Stewart, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT).

One reason this alliance is so large is that animal abuse isn't the only unethical activity Big Ag is trying to keep secret. Documented investigations of factory farms have revealed unsafe conditions that endanger workers, shoddy food safety practices that put consumers at risk, and practices that ravage our environment. Ag-gag legislation can even shield puppy mills, which can fall under the category of "agricultural activity" in some states.
Whistleblower revelations play an important part in reforming corrupt institutions. Decades of undercover investigations—the very kind these ag-gag laws are trying to suppress—have led directly to critical milestones including the passage of the federal Meat Inspection Act, the Pure Food and Drug Act, and the eventual establishment of the federal Food and Drug Administration. They have also led to reform in corporate practices and criminal liability.
A broad coalition of advocates, including the ASPCA, has helped defeat more than two dozen ag-gag bills to date. Despite this, Big Ag is showing no signs of letting up. There's just too much money to be made.
In the first few months of the 2015 legislative session, ag-gag laws have been introduced in nine states, most recently North Carolina, where ag-gag proponents are making their third try in three years.
We have to keep fighting these laws and exposing their motives, for the welfare of the animals, but also for our right to know the ultimate price truly being paid for the food on our plates.
So please add your own voice to the #OpenTheBarns campaign, and tell the agricultural industry that animal cruelty—anywhere, for any reason—demands sunlight, not secrecy.
At the request of the Office of Emergency Management, the ASPCA is providing coordination of animal-related issues at the city's emergency reception center for pet owners in the area surrounding the site of Thursday's explosion and fire in the East Village neighborhood of New York City. Residents in the evacuation area who need to access their pets should speak to a police officer for more information.
The damage and resulting needs of residents affected by the explosion and fire are still being assessed.
Olivia is a sweet and social cat who would love to be your new best friend. This pretty lady loves attention from her favorite people, but prefers it on her own terms—let her sniff your hand, and once you're friends, she'll happily let you scratch her head and face.
It may take Olivia some time to adjust to her new home, but with the help of some yummy treats and her favorite toys, she'll start to relax in no time. Although she likes affection, Olivia prefers not be picked up and is sensitive to touch around her stomach and tail. This sweet girl would like to be the only cat in the household and would do best with an experienced adopter familiar with feline body language. Adopt Olivia today!
Olivia is available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center. If you are interested in adopting, please call our Adoptions Department in New York City at (212) 876-7700 ext. 4120. To learn more about Olivia, please visit her profile page.

It's probably spelled wrong, but thats how it sounds. Does anyone know anything about this? My daughter passes out and the Dr says her brain isn't getting enough oxygen. Know anything???? Ruth Ann
You spelled it correctly and that's what it is. It's a short loss of consiciouness due to inadequate blood flow to the brain. In other words, she faints. It can be caused by a lot of things. Her doctor will first find out what is causing it and then work to correct the problem. It can be as simple as dehydration, anemia, fatique or poor ventilation.
It's also a condition caused by low blood pressure. Sometimes even athletes, such as runners, have it because they're in such good shape that their hearts beat very slowly when they're at rest, and when they get up it takes several seconds for the blood rate to increase enough to pump more oxygen to the brain. It probably seems scary, but there are a lot of benign reasons for it.

An Interim Supervision Order means that the Local Authority has to assist and befriend the parents of the child. The Local Authority will support the parents in providing good enough parenting.
An Interim Supervision Order does not mean that the Local Authority would share Parental Responsibility with the parents, or with any other person with Parental Responsibility, and so it would not give them the power to remove the child from the parents care. The role is to support and befriend the parents of the child.
If you are worried that this will happen to you and your child or it is happening to you then you must contact us immediately. We can act on your behalf, understanding your situation and working together with Social Services, the Courts and the Local Authority to ensure the best outcome for you and your child.

The ECB continues to work with Sport England on the pioneering club accreditation scheme 'Clubmark' to develop a vibrant and healthy club cricket infrastructure.
Cricket clubs can play a key role in the successful delivery of Building Partnerships – cricket's strategic plan for 2006-2009 - by supporting the delivery and implementation of the following programmes:
The ECB Clubmark and community cricket clubs play a central role in all of these programmes and Clubmark will provide the standards that clubs involved in these programmes will aspire to.
In addition, it is expected that clubs who achieve the ECB Clubmark will be recognised and rewarded for their hard work and commitment to club cricket in England and Wales.
By registering to work towards ECB Clubmark, clubs join a growing number of cricket clubs across England and Wales that are prioritising junior development, creating a benchmark for high quality community club cricket.
County Cricket Development Managers can help clubs through the process of achieving ECB Clubmark Accreditation.
ECB Clubmark gives clubs an opportunity to write and implement new procedures as well as acknowledge existing practices. Cricket clubs are required to present evidence and demonstrate implementation across four different themes, culminating in the production of a Club Development Plan.
The four themes are:
