Lagos athlete, Aminat Olowora, Friday made good her intention to add the women's 1,500m gold to the two she had earlier won in both the 10,000m and the 5,000m.
Eighteen year-old Olowora overwhelmed the field to coast to the finish line in 4: 28.69 secs to pick her third gold medal of the 18th National Sports Festival ending Sunday.
Patience Edet (4:35.18secs) of Cross River picked silver while Chinonso Nwokeoji of Abia who ran 4: 35.88 secs got the consolatory bronze medal of the event.
Apparently satisfied with achieving her target at the Eko 2012, Olowora told THISDAY that she was now looking forward to representing Nigeria at global sports fiestas.
"I am very satisfied with my performance here at the National Sports Festival. I have been able to now prove that the long distance races are not the exclusive preserve of northern runners," enthused Olowora who attributed her victory to the high level coaching she is getting from her trainer she identified sinmply as Coach Saheed.
Interestingly, the day did not belong to Olowora alone.
Bayelsa State long distance runner, Kayode Seriki, also registered his name on the list of achievers at the Eko 2012 Games, becoming the new National Sports Festival record holder in the men's 10,000m.
He ran 30:01.43secs to end Emmanuel Gyang's reign as the 10,000m record holder. Gyang posted the festival record at the festival hosted by Kaduna in 2010.
Meanwhile, Delta State continued to dominate the track and field medals table with 10 gold, 11 silver and 5 bronze medals. Rivers kept a close watch on Delta, trailing the fellow South-south state with nine gold, six silver and eight bronze medals.
Host Lagos is third with three gold and two silver medals. The curtain will be drawn on the track events today even as Lagos is planning an elaborate musical fiesta to round off the 18th NSF on Sunday.

PRESIDENT BUSH has called nuclear terrorism our "ultimate nightmare," and combating it America's "highest priority."
As we reflect on the third anniversary of al-Qaida's assault on America, it is chilling to realize that we are now more vulnerable to a nuclear 9/11 than we were when Osama bin Laden hit us three years ago. Consider the evidence on five related fronts: bin Laden, Iraq, North Korea, Iran and Russia.

24 Great Content Marketing blog posts to help you build your brand and grow your business
ManufacturingStories's curator insight, June 25, 1:06 PM
A key first step in addressing the "SkillsGap" in US Manufacturing is building awareness. Students, parents, guidance and community leaders need to learn just how rewarding Advanced Manufacturing jobs can be. How "COOL" the technologies are and how safe and clean the plants are. In addition often overlooked facts are upward job mobility and company paid educational benefits. There is NO better way to learn these facts than a tour to a local manufacturing plant. The MFG DAY website supplies your company and/or school with lots of tools and support to schedule, promote and run your tours.
Larry Heuser's curator insight, June 20, 9:13 AM
Facebook is today's coffee shop. It is a place to stop after work and catch up on todays new and events. It is where you can share knowledge, network, and maybe even build a relationship. In short, Facebook is a tool you should be using for your manufacturing company. Social media is here to stay and inudstries need to understand how to use it the right way.

In this book, the author chronicles the three generations of farmers in his family who have been shaped by the land, and their ideals, to bring us a meaningful and and thoughtful view into the world of modern farming.

Very few of us know the difference between a store bought peach and the exquisite experience of biting into a juicy heirloom peach that has been picked at full ripeness. This is the story of David Mas Masumoto and others like him who have kept alive farming traditions that offer us treasures like this so all of us may enjoy some of lifes simplest pleasures, even in the face of mounting costs, pressure from large companies and shrinking profitability.

Emma Byler, an old order Amish woman was widowed at age 33 with 10 children to feed and no money. She found it a necessity to make do with what was on hand.

Lawmakers in Maryland this year shied away from legalizing the medical use of marijuana by certain very ill patients under carefully controlled clinical conditions. Voters elsewhere, it seems, are not so cautious.
On Tuesday, Colorado and Washington passed ballot initiatives legalizing the possession and sale or marijuana for purely recreational use — no prescription required — making them the first states in the country to do so. (A similar initiative in Oregon was narrowly rejected, but voters in Massachusetts approved a law allowing doctors to prescribe marijuana for medicinal purposes.) The law would allow individuals to have up to an ounce of marijuana, and get high on it, with no criminal risk.

Riverside County backs immigration proposal
"It doesn't sound like amnesty to me," Ashley said.
Supervisor John Tavaglione said the board should support the plan because "it's the right thing to do."
Before the board took up the matter, about 15 people spoke in favor of the Benoit-Ashley resolution.
Luz Gallegos, community programs director for the nonprofit TODEC Legal Center in Perris that serves immigrant families, said "the nation's immigration system has long been neglected."
And Gallegos said it is time for "real solutions."
Antonio Ayala of Perris added, "We cannot neglect 11 or 12 million people in the United States."
Christopher Ryan, a Riverside Community College student from Perris, said he has gone to school many years with students whose parents are in this country illegally, and they and their parents should be able to remain here.
"They're here not to take anyone's job, but to give themselves a chance through education... and to help the economy," Ryan said.
A few people spoke against the resolution. One of those was Robin Hvidston of Upland.
"This body politic is supposed to represent American citizens," Hvidston said.
She said the county ought to concern itself with the "legions of homeless" American citizens, those who live below the poverty line and the veterans who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan and not found work.
"We want our (immigration) laws enforced," Hvidston said. "We don't need comprehensive immigration reform. We need comprehensive enforcement."

Corporate Japan gives amateur football the nod.
Charity Soccer for UNICEF
Over the past few years the credibility of Japanese professional football, which for a long time had been questionable at best, has taken a monumental leap forward. One major catalyst for this was certainly Japan's co-hosting of the FIFA World Cup with Korea in 2002.
The spotlight shining on Japan during the world's biggest football competition, aided the plight of some of their homegrown talent in securing or reaffirming their 'star' status' abroad. Shunsuke Nakamura, the Celtic regular who could teach David Beckham a thing or two about free-kicks, along with the likes of ex-national team and Bolton Wanderers midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata and Junichi Inamoto, who had a spell with Arsenal, have all become household names, not just in Japan, but the world over and despite a mediocre showing by the national team in Germany last year, have all paved the way for the next generation of Japanese football exports.
For amateur football players in Japan, the knock-on effect of the professional game gaining more credibility, general support and recognition has been appreciable, with new amateur clubs forming each season and more established teams gaining corporate backing. Also, the infrastructures in place that support the grassroots game are growing to meet the new demands, as Tokyo Metropolis League organizer Sid Lloyd explains.
"On the one hand, yes we are just an amateur football league," says Lloyd. "But then again the league has grown from supporting 19-teams when it first started in 2004, to 24-teams, and there are new teams on waiting lists to join each season. Coupled with this as the league has grown, so has the interest in it by the corporate world and we now have a number of multinational corporations sponsoring the league which is a testament to its growth. The teams themselves have been able to secure their own corporate sponsorship deals on the back of the exposure they gain through participating in the league and other tournaments organized by Tokyo Metropolis League's parent company Footy Japan Ltd," he says.
Take the British Football Club Tokyo for example. This club, which now comprises a first and a second team, is one of the (if not the) oldest and best-established international football clubs still operating in Japan. The club boasts a 26-year history and has had a number of notable sponsors along the way. None more so than their current sponsor, Reuters - the world's leading information providers. Reuters were also one of the Gold Sponsors of the latest of the small-sided tournaments that Footy Japan organizes throughout the year and in which the British Football Club also played.
The Footy Japan/YCAC Charity 6's Football Tournament, held in March each year, is perhaps one of the most prestigious one-day football events on the annual calendar and attracts a variety of teams and also support from the corporate world which helps to generate a healthy amount of finance for the charity UNICEF.
This year with the support of the following sponsors, nearly half a million yen was raised for this very worthwhile cause: GOLD SPONSORS: Magellan; Robert Walters; Reuters; Oakwood Worldwide; Coca Cola; Bloomberg. SILVER SPONSORS: TUV Rheinland Japan Ltd. BRONZE SPONSORS: Crown Relocations, Wall Street Associates.
19-teams took part in the event held at the Yokohama Country & Athletic Club on March 21st, half of which play regularly in the Tokyo Metropolis League, the other half were comprised of teams who play outside the TML or are corporate representative teams like CareerCross, Taros (Bloomberg), Robert Walters, Robert Half and JAC Japan.
The eventual winners on the day were Amanis FC, a tenacious team who play in TML's second division and their effervescent midfield-maestro Jorge Kuriyama, who played at a professional level in Mexico, also won the Magellan MVP Award for his outstanding efforts both outfield and in goal.
For players of all abilities, teams or indeed corporations who may be interested in taking part in or supporting the burgeoning international grassroots football events and competitions in Japan, the first port of call would be to check in with the Tokyo Metropolis League homepage (www.footyjapan.com/tml) or contact email@example.com - a number of players looking to join a team have quickly done so by contacting Footy Japan by e-mail and having their details posted in the regular TML captains' e-newsletter. Those looking to join in an upcoming tournament in some capacity should check in with the Footy Japan Tournaments website which contains all the details on upcoming tournaments and information on how to register a team, become a sponsor or generally get involved!

Obsolete English Names, Part 1, Accentor through Myna(h)
Obsolete English Names, Part 2, Nene through Yellowthroat
Nicasio wren, mountain mockingbird, desert sparrowthese are among the many names one might find in the older North American ornithological or birding literature but not in recent field guides or check-lists. These are English common names that once were used for species, subspecies, or populations of birds but that have been supplanted by other names. Sometimes it is fairly easy to relate the old names to the present names, but often it can be difficult, especially if they are accompanied by scientific names that also have changed. In this list I equate those old names, and some not commonly found in modern writing, to the present English and scientific names of the species to which they apply.
The usefulness of such a list was brought to my attention by Curtis Sabrosky, an entomologist retired from the Systematic Entomology Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In his work on ectoparasitic flies, Dr. Sabrosky occasionally finds specimens taken from avian hosts identified on the labels only by obsolete English names. On occasion, he has sought assistance from the author in identifying or verifying the host bird in current terminology, and expressed a desire for a list such as this.
This index should also be useful to other workers and for other purposes. Ornithologists not well versed in taxonomic matters might save valuable research time if they could immediately relate a bit of information recorded in the older literature to the name of a species with which they are familiar. Law enforcement personnel might find some support in convincing a gunner (or judge) that the old or colloquial name of a bird shot is the same as the name in the list of species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Serious birders, historians, collectors of natural history bookseven crossword puzzle fans and trivialistsmight find something of use or interest.
One might wonder how and why English names (often called "common names") of birds change. Some rather old changes occurred because relationships were uncertain when the birds were first named and family groups as we now know them were poorly defined. Many North American species were named because of superficial similarities to Old World groupsmost thrashers were originally called thrushes, and many warblers were called flycatchers. Some species were given more than one name by different writers. The names of some species have just been shortened through time. Some group namessparrow, bunting, and finch, for examplewere used interchangeably.
Many populations of American birds were named originally as species, and received not only distinctive scientific names but also distinctive English names. As the species concept and ornithological knowledge developed through the 19th and 20th centuries, many of these populations came to be treated as subspecies of more broadly conceived species. Often the separate populations carried their old English names unchanged into their new status, so that several subspecies of a species might have quite different English names. The Check-list of North American Birds, published by the American Ornithologists' Union and considered the definitive source of both scientific and English names of birds by most North American workers, followed the practice of using English names for subspecies through its fourth (1931) edition. There, for example, were listed 14 subspecies of Thryomanes bewickii, only one of which was called "Bewick's wren." That practice ended with the fifth (1957) edition, in which all subspecies were grouped under the English name "Bewick's wren" and individual subspecies were not provided with distinctive English names. The latter practice has been generally followed by the major ornithological journals and the authors of field guides, and over the past 30 years many names once familiar to ornithologists and birders have essentially passed into oblivionbut not, of course, out of the literature.
The continuing study of avian taxonomy is still refining our understanding of the relationships of populations of birds. Such studies in the past few years have yielded additional instances in which two (or more) populations traditionally treated as distinct species should be considered only a single species. In some instances the accepted English name for neither population is applicable to the combined populations, and it has been deemed better to coin a new name rather than to continue the use of either old one. Thus the combined myrtle and Audubon's warblers became the yellow-rumped warbler. Such changes are often met with consternation among the birding community, at least in the short run, but become accepted with increasing use. The older names are still valuable and are often used for the component groups when individual birds can be so identified.
Other studies have shown that what has long been considered a single species is actually a composite of two or more reproductively isolated populations, each of which should be considered a species. Occasionally old English names can be revived for one or all populations, but at times new names have had to be coined. Thus the two "song-type" populations of the old Traill's flycatcher were found to represent two distinct species, one of which (Empidonax traillii) was given the name willow flycatcher, whereas the other (Empidonax alnorum) was christened alder flycatcher. This actually presents the opposite of the problem this list seeks to solve, because in this instance old literature references to "Traill's flycatcher" might apply to either of the newly recognized species.
Still another factor that has placed some once-familiar English names in limbo is the increasingly worldly view of North American ornithologists and birders. The sixth (1983) edition of the Check-list of North American Birds extended its geographic coverage to include Hawaii and the Caribbean islands as well as the area between the United States-Mexico border and the Panama-Colombia border. In many instances this resulted in the juxtaposition in the list of two or more species with the same English group name, one without a modifier and the other(s) with. For uniformity, and to avoid confusion between specific and group names, additional modifiers were provided where necessary. Thus the familiar "plain" catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) of North America became the gray catbird to effect a parallel construction in name to that of the black catbird (Melanoptila glabrirostris) of Central America. Further, for species with extensive distributions outside North America, the Check-list used English names that are generally accepted on a worldwide basis rather than perpetuate the situation in which a single species might have one English name in North America and another elsewhere. The Florida (or common) gallinule of North America thus was called the common moorhen, as the species is known elsewhere in the English-speaking world.
The result of this process of evolution of names is that there are many English names for populations of birds at various taxonomic levels that are no longer in general use. These names still appear in the earlier (and some modern) literature, of course, and on labels of some specimens collected years ago, perhaps in the display cases of some museums, but many of them are not immediately recognized by younger ornithologists or birders.
I have compiled a list of English names of birds that one is unlikely to find in the indexes or texts of the more recent ornithological journals, references, or field guides. The list is restricted to names of species found primarily in the United States and Canada, with a few exceptions. The indexed names have been culled from the first four editions of the Check-list of North American Birds, early State bird books and regional distribution lists, standard technical ornithological references, and a variety of other sources dating back to the time of Audubon and Wilson, who were among the first to use distinctive names for American birds. Particularly rich sources of names were A. C. Bent's "Life Histories..." series, published as Bulletins of the U.S. National Museum from 1919 to 1968; the 12 parts of Robert Ridgway's "Birds of North and Middle America," published as U.S. National Museum Bulletin 50 (continued by Herbert Friedmann); and the Field Museum series, "Catalogue of Birds of the Americas and the Adjacent Islands," mainly by C. E. Hellmayr. The source of any particular name is not important. Hawaiian language names for species found only in that State are included and equated to English namesor vice versa. Some British names are included for species found in both the Old World and North America. Some truly vernacular or colloquial names of waterfowl, particularly, are included where they are distinctive to a species, but many such names are used only locally and others are applied indiscriminately. An extensive list of local names for game birds was published by W. L. McAtee in 1923, as U.S. Department of Agriculture Miscellaneous Circular No. 13.
Not all variants of old names are indexed. Where similar modifiers such as Texas and Texan, or San, Saint, and St. Lucas have been used for the same species, only one is listed. Where the difference between an old and modern name is merely "European" versus "Eurasian," the old name is not listed. Old names that differ from modern ones only in prefixing a modifier to a presently used group name, as in eastern and western house wren, are excluded, except where there is a possibility of confusion with another species with a similar or identical group name (e.g., redstarts, nighthawks).
Old names are listed alphabetically by group name in the left column; some are listed more than once or are cross-referenced if the group name is ambiguous. The present English name of the species to which the old name applies is in the middle column, and its present scientific name is in the right column. Current English and scientific names are based on the sixth (1983) edition of the Check-list of North American Birds and supplements to the Check-list published in the Auk in 1985 and 1987. Several footnotes attempt to explain instances in which the application of an English name has changed from one species to another or there is some other possible confusion.
It is unlikely that this list is complete or error-free. Please call omissions or errors to the author's attention.
As noted, the concept of this list originated with Curtis Sabrosky. Martha B. Hays did much of the early compilation. David W. Johnston reviewed the entire manuscript, and Peter Cannell provided helpful suggestions.
l White-necked crow is properly applied to Corvus leucognaphalus of Hispaniola and (formerly) Puerto Rico.
2 This name may also apply to the Pacific loon, Gavia pacifica, recently split from the Arctic loon.
3 Several species in the genus Carduelis are presently called greenfinches.
4 Records of Wright's flycatcher before 1939, and most before 1957, pertain to Empidonax oberholseri.
5 Nomenclature of the black-tailed group of gnatcatchers follows the recommendation of Atwood 1988 (Ornithol. Monogr. no. 42).
6 These names may apply also to Clark's grebe, Aechmophorus clarki, recently split from the western grebe. The latter name was used for the two species combined.
7 The name western gull was used until recently to include the species now known as the yellow-legged gull, Larus livens.
8 The name sparrowhawk to a group of Old World species in Accipiter.
9 This name may be applied loosely to any grebe.
10 Early references to the tropical kingbird may refer to the present Couch's kingbird, Tyrannus couchii; the species have recently been divided.
11 Redwing applies properly to a Eurasian thrush, Turdus iliacus, but has been used with various modifiers for the red-winged blackbird.
12 Pink-footed shearwater is the current name for Puffinus creatopus.
13 This name has been applied also to populations now known as kamao, M. myadestinus; amaui, M. oahuensis; and olomao, M. lanaiensis. All were formerly considered a single species.
14 This is not Pipilo albicollis of Mexico.
15 Yellowhammer is properly applied to an Old World sparrow, Emberiza citrinella.

15 Useful HTML5 Tutorials and Cheat Sheets
HTML5 is giving web designers and developers new capabilities that were things of fantasy with previous versions of HTML. Web pages will now be more semantic with the use of structure specific tags. Visual elements like rounded corners are now built in, and so is the ability to create drag and drop interactivity. Even though HTML5 is not fully supported in major browsers, there are those that are pushing forward and experimenting with its new features. In an effort to encourage you to do the same and to prepare you for the future, we've rounded up 15 useful HTML5 tutorials and cheat sheets.

Cool!! Is it compatible with the major issue, IE6?
Damian SmithApril 28, 2010
Thanks for providing these sites, didn't realise how much you could actually do with HTML5.
I'm just trying to learn all the new css3 techniques at them moment, although I'm not 100% on using a lot of them because of browser compatibility etc. But most of my new sites have a bit of drop shadow and rounded corners here and there. I really don't like using fixes either!
Which new techniques do you like to use and just try and forget about well IE mainly! Although IE9 is supposed to support pretty much everything!

great to see these many advantages of HTML 5
CyberJanuary 6, 2012
Well, it will be another 4-5 years before we can establish HTML5 as the default web language and structure, due to Microsoft not allowing IE to support it till version 9, and this only being allowed to be installed in Windows 7. companies still using XP, Many if not most still have not made the descision to upgrade, and if you go round coffee shops, they are all still using XP and IE6. with this background, web sites still need to be constructed to the mass market with the lowest common denominator. We are still needing to construct with browser detection and switch the display or technology accordingly. I for example am building a HTML5 game, that can not be down graded to old browsers because I am extensivly using the Canvas, and will not work on execanvas or flash canvas, but I make the descision to force my users to use an alternative..

Greetings fellow CSWA Members;
Effective today, I will be resigning as CSWA President. A number of work opportunities have come up that will require my full attention and would make continuing to contribute as a regular volunteer with the CSWA impossible.
Therefore, I have asked Stephen Strauss, who currently serves as CSWA Vice President, to step in to the President's role and he has agreed to do so. Pending board approval, Stephen will serve as Acting President at least until our 2012 conference, June 2-5, in Windsor. Stephen's contribution and sense of vision for science writers in Canada has been invaluable to the CSWA and I support him as a future leader of the organization.
Upcoming CSWA member services and events
I will be proud to continue to be a CSWA Member (as well as serving on the CSWA board as Past President) and will look forward to seeing those of you who can attend at our 2012 conference, June 2-5 in Windsor, ON, and other science writing events in the future.
From when I first met Andy Visser deVries, Michael Smith, Tim Lougheed and Veronique Morin at the CSWA's 2001 Montreal conference and agreed in 2003 to help a little with their "hand-coded" HTML site, to serving as Science Link Editor, a Board Member, Vice-President, then President, I have been constantly amazed and inspired at the steady progress we've been able to make in offering relevant, themed, effective, and energizing services, events, and opportunities to you and more than 600 other members across Canada.
In the coming months, I'm looking forward to seeing a number of services our current board members have completed (or are about to complete) during my 2011/2012 term as CSWA President come to you, including:
• professional development workshops via a series of interactive webinars (watch for dates for these very soon from the CSWA Office)
• a discounted CSWA Member health plan (now available)
• a mentoring program for journalists looking to do more science writing, under the guidance of some of the CSWA's most experienced members (an initiative the World Federation of Science Journalists has offered to make possible)
• a calendar of future conference venues extending to 2015 (programme & registration for our 2012 conference)
• working with other organizations across Canada and around the world to promote timely communication between journalists and government-funded scientists. Such efforts were recently spotlighted at the 2012 AAAS Annual Meeting (the world's largest general science conference, welcoming thousands of delegates from around the world) in national media outlets ranging from CTV to the CBC to dozens of major print dailies and national outlets from the BBC to the journal Nature
• the CSWA contributed two important panels at AAAS (Government science muzzling and Children's Writing in today's market) as well as wildly successful networking party for close to 500 media at Vancouver's Canvas Lounge
• a world-class slate of panels, tours, and keynotes at our upcoming June conference, including such speakers as GM Canada's Chief Scientist Dr. Justin Gammage and CBC Radio White Coat, Black Art host Dr. Brian Goldman
See you out there…
To all of you, whether or not I've had the chance to speak with you personally: It has been an honour and a privilege for me to serve such a fine organization as the Canadian Science Writers' Association, and you, its members.
Meanwhile, I'll look forward to seeing you out there, on the science beat.
As always, all the very best,
Peter McMahon, Canadian Science Writer

Enough specimens have been discovered in recent years that the Starred Reverse is about to fall to R.4. However, it remains arguably the most famous variety among all early cents. Sheldon noted that collectors speak of the Starred Reverse with "religious awe." The variety was discovered 135 years ago, and about two years pass between each new example.
The Famous Starred Reverse
The Famous Starred Reverse
This example, like all Starred Reverse cents, has strong obverse details and weak reverse details, although at least two thirds of the stars are visible. The reverse border is especially strong below, and to the left, like most known specimens. Cleaned and recolored, the obverse is dark brown with old verdigris, and the slightly porous reverse is a trifle lighter brown. Our EAC grade VG7.

London's free motorshow
Posted: 07 Jun 2010
We may not have a motor show proper anymore, but keeping the British end up is the free-to-look-at London Motorexpo.
Held in Harry Shand's former stomping ground of Canary Wharf, the week-long show - which kicks off today until 13 June - showcases Some Cars. Many of which are expensive.
Sure, it's no Geneva or Paris motor show, but let's run the headline past you one more time. It's free. F-R-E-E. Got it?
Still, if you can't afford the travelcard, sit back and sup our tasty highlights from the show. Like watching the Best of TopGear on Dave. For the 109th time.

Traditional biotechnology dates back to centuries ago when man starting making cheese, baking bread and brewing beer with yeast. Today, technology has advanced and genes can be identified and transferred to incorporate desired characteristics into new organisms. Using techniques such as genetic engineering and cloning, biotechnology plays an important role in various fields, including medicine and health, agriculture, and other industry.
In medicine, biotechnology is used in developing vaccines, producing drugs and antibiotics and diagnosing disease.
In agriculture, biotechnology crops are improving harvests while conserving water, soil, and the quality of the environment. In the near future, biotechnology will also provide crops with improved nutritional value.
In other industries, for example, biotechnology is being used to produce biofuels, that is, using crops to produce fuel. Renewable resources such as corn can also be found in plastics and fibers.
How is Biotechnology being used in agriculture and food production?
Biotechnology tools reduce the amount of time required to deliver the same desired traits that traditional methods of selective breeding might, which take years of field testing and selection of traits. Biotechnology can reduce the process to months of lab testing and trait selection.
Characteristic which can be transferred to plants include insect resistance, herbicide resistance, drought tolerance. This has various benefits and can improve the yield of crops, reduce the use of insecticides and improve the environmental impact of farming. Please refer the GMO fact sheets for a comprehensive discussion of risks and benefits of GM crops.
Are GM crops safe?
GM crops are subject to extensive testing and regulations and have been evaluated to be safe. Any applications to test, grow or produce GM crops in South Africa have evaluated and approved by the government. See our fact sheet on GMO's and the cartoon on GMO regulatory process.
There are groups who believe the effects of GMO's will only be determined after many, many years of consumption, and until this time, we should proceed with caution.
How do I know if I am eating genetically modified food?
There are no labeling requirements to indicate the presence of genetically modified plants in the food we buy in the shops. Even if a product label indicates it is GM-free, it may contain GM crops within a pre-determined threshold. In South Africa, 4 GM crops are grown, including maize, cotton and soybeans. These GM crops are grown on large-scale in South Africa, accounting for most of the crop production. Any product with maize or soybean as an ingredient is likely to contain GM maize or soybean. GM potatoes may soon also be approved for commercial release in South Africa. Visit the Department of Health website for more information on the labeling regulations for GM food.
How is biotechnology used in Health and Medicine?
Biotechnology is used across various aspects of medicine from diagnosing disease or risk of developing disease, to prevention of disease by vaccination, to treating disease by development and production of drugs.
Some examples of existing biotechnology include the production of human insulin in bacteria, the large-scale production of antibiotics to treat numerous infections, the diagnosis of diseases such as HIV.
Many world-class research laboratories in South Africa are using biotechnology to solve some of the major health problems that affect us today, including HIV, tuberculosis, malaria and other chronic diseases such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
See our fact sheet on Biotechnology in Medical research for more information.
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are essentially "unspecialized" cells. They do not yet have a specialized function and have the ability to turn onto other types of cells. For instance a stem cell can turn in to liver cells, skin cells, nerve cells, etc. In order for stem cells to give rise to cells which can differentiate and become specialized, they need to be given the correct signals. A wide range of chemicals from nearby cells provide instructions to the stem cells. Stem cells can be classified as embryonic stem cells, which can be taken from a human embryo, or adult stem cells, taken from within specialized adult tissue.
There is much excitement in stem cell research due to the potential to treat diseases and to replace organs and tissues that have been damaged.
See our fact sheet on stem cells and cloning for more information.
Stem cell treatments are being used to treat leukemia, but the practicalities in curing or treating other disease are still currently limited and need further research, despite the promise of the potential of stem cell research. Unfortunately, there are some clinics that are exploiting patient's hopes by purporting to offer stem cell therapy for seriously ill patients without the scientific and clinical backup. The International Society of Stem Cell Research has recently (December 2008) issued guidelines for the responsible translation of stem cell research into clinical practice.
Visit Cell Stem Cell for the full article, which gives an indication to the types of questions a patient should ask if they are offered stem cell treatment.
What is cloning?
Cloning is a term used to broadly describe any process that produces an identical copy of biological material, from individual genes or cells to even whole organisms. A "clone" is a genetically identical copy of the original. The word cloning is an umbrella term, and covers various types of cloning: recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning.
As animals become more frequently successfully cloned, the fears of cloning humans grow, and the ethical issues associated with it become more relevant. In South Africa, the National Health Bill passed in 2003 makes allowance for humans embryo stem cell research on excess embryo's from in vitro fertilization and also allows human embryo's to be specifically created for stem cell research by a process called SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer), which is a method used to clone animals. See the fact sheet on cloning for more information. Reproductive cloning of humans is not permitted.
What are biofuels?
Biofuels are energy sources that are produced from biomass- the living matter of plants or organic waste. Much hope has been placed on biofuels that they will, in the future, contribute significantly to replacing fossil fuels. Biofuel crops recycle carbon dioxide, one the main greenhouse gases, by absorbing it when they grow and the releasing it back into the atmosphere when they are burned. Theoretically biofuels should not add to greenhouse gas emissions, but in reality often the fossil fuel input required to grow the crop and convert it into biofuel can outweigh this benefit of the biofuel.
There are different types of biofuels. First generation biofuels include bioethanol, produced from plant sugars and starches, or biodiesel, from oily seeds such as soybean. Second generation biofuels involve the use of cellulose found in the woody parts of plants, so that non-edible plants or plant parts can be used as sources for biofuels, relieving the competition with food.
Biofuels are unlikely to replace fossil fuels entirely, and much research of time and money is necessary to improve the standards to biofuel technology. The production of biofuels is one of a number of energy options that will contribute to reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. Other options may include wind power and solar energy, as well as nuclear energy.
See our series of facts sheets on biofuels for more information.
What careers can I follow in Biotechnology?
Biotechnology taps into so many fields, including food and agriculture, animal health, human health and medicine, understanding genetics and how humans evolved, bioremediation, fuel production. Careers can be followed from technical levels working in laboratories to academic to policy makers to business opportunities.
Visit our career's section for more information.
Where can I study Biotechnology?
Most Universities in South Africa offer BSc (science degrees) inclusive of biotechnology, whether it be molecular biology, genetics, microbiology or biochemistry. Some Universities offer 3 year BSc degrees specific to biotechnology, such as University of Cape Town and University of Pretoria. It is recommended you contact the Science Faculties of the Universities for more information about degrees in Biotechnology, relevant to your specific area of interest in biotechnology.

Weekly Wellness Tip: Go meatless one day a week
Posted on Oct 22, 2012
- Meat in the Middle. Instead of going completely vegetarian one day, try to go two-thirds vegetarian almost every day. It's fairly easy to eliminate meat from a couple of meals a day. Try enjoying meat for your lunch only.
- A salad a day. Try a roasted root vegetable salad. Root vegetables have a meaty flavor, they're substantial, and when you roast them, they have a natural sweetness.
- Rice and Beans please. There's nothing better or simpler than pinto beans or black-eyed peas and rice. You can experiment with so many different varieties of rice and there are lots and lots of different choices for beans. Get creative!
- Get creative with substitutes. Meat substitutes are better than ever, and when you want the flavor and texture of meat, Gardein (a soy-based meat substitute) is a delicious way to get it.
- Take 2 on tacos. Tacos are a perfect kid-friendly option for any crumbled meat substitute. Mix in taco spices, and you don't even know you're not eating meat. Then just add lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. Taco salad is also an option. I swear, you will not miss the meat!

2013 New York Auto Show : Nissan Nv200 Finds New Work As Ambulance, Gibson Guitar Repair Truck
Nissan was an important participant during the opening ceremony of the Annual Mexican Red Cross Collection 2013, with 30 NV2500 units converted into ambulances that will offer support to people in need in Mexico.
During the ceremony, the President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, turned on the siren of a Nissan NV2500 ambulance to signal the start of the 2013 collection and to celebrate the donation of these new ambulances.
The Nissan NV2500 ambulance was first used by the Mexican Red Cross in April 2012 in a pilot test. After proving its versatility and functionality, the Mexican Red Cross decided to integrate Nissan as a partner for its ambulance fleet as of this year.
The Nissan NV2500 ambulance has been used to strengthen humanitarian support, help during traffic accidents, and aid many other tasks that Red Cross paramedics perform daily.
"We are pleased for an institution as the Mexican Red Cross to have decided to use our NV2500 model as ambulance after having verified its reliability and technology during the months it tested them," said José Valls, president and general director of Nissan Mexicana. "Thirty Nissan NV2500 ambulances will mark the start of what we are sure will be a long relationship with this honorable institution to provide support to the population."
The Mexican Red Cross receives over 1,200,000 ambulance service requests per year, so the NV2500 will have many opportunities to show its capabilities in terms of reliability and versatility.
Launched in Mexico Last December
Sold in Mexico since December last year, NV2500 is ideal for tough work because of its load capacity (1,425 kilograms), ample towing capability, rear-wheel drive, comfortable driving position, strong chassis structure and easy access to the load compartment. A 5-speed automatic transmission with manual and adaptation mode provides excellent driving response. NV2500 is offered with a high ceiling configuration that provides a volume equivalent to 9 cubic meters of load, as well as with standard ceiling for a volume of 6.5 cubic meters of load. Additional features that appealed to the Mexican Red Cross include ABS, Antilock Braking Limited Slip, Brake Assistant, Electronic Braking Distribution, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Traction Control System, Gear Change Block System, and Velocity Dynamic Control.
Nissan and Gibson Combine Forces with NV200 Mobile Guitar Workshop
– Two Tennessee-based companies partner on co-branded Gibson/Nissan NV200 TM Compact Cargo, debuting at the 2013 New York International Auto Show –
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Gibson and Nissan have combined their respective expertise in professional music and practical, small business vehicles to create the Gibson NV200 Mobile Repair & Restoration Van. The van acts as a mobile guitar repair shop, serving the needs of both working musicians and casual pickers and can service major music markets or locales where guitar players congregate, such as major music festivals, concerts, recording studios or even private homes.
"The NV200 Compact Cargo van's small footprint makes it ideal for maneuvering in tight places, which is perfect for both urban music venues and crowded outdoor concerts where space is at a premium," said Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz. "The large cargo bay with standard integrated mounting points and available cargo hooks help make the vehicle configurable and customizable to suit the needs of a working guitar technician."
Class-leading combined fuel economy of 24 mpg*, provided by a 131-horsepower 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine matched with an efficient Xtronic CVT® transmission, further increases the road-worthy appeal of a vehicle that can log as many miles as the typical touring band.
"The Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo van is perfect for small businesses, entrepreneurs and dreamers," said Joe Castelli, vice president, Commercial Vehicles and Fleet, Nissan North America. "By partnering with Gibson on the NV200 Mobile Repair & Restoration Van, we're showing the ultimate expression of what can be done with this vehicle for those with a viable business concept, a little creativity and with a starting price of $19,990**, an appreciation of great value. As this is a van meant for trades, vocations and working people, we couldn't be more excited than to see it put to good use in the hands of some of the most skilled craftsmen in the world."
The Gibson NV200 Mobile Repair & Restoration Van, built by Nissan, is an extension of both Gibson Pro Audio and Gibson's fabled Repair & Restoration shop, based in Nashville, Tenn. This facility is where the best and brightest guitar builders go to ply their craft for one of the oldest and most-respected guitar companies.
As the Repair & Restoration shop fixes and customizes guitars owned by both the top professional musicians in the world and passionate enthusiasts, the Gibson NV200 Compact Cargo acts as a quick response support vehicle for professional and part-time musicians in need of timely repairs, as well as serving as an educational tool to the public representing the art of guitar building and repair, or luthiery.
NV200 Compact Cargo provides 122.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats and a 53-inch cargo height, which is comparable to many standard roof full-size vans. It also offers tall cargo door openings – including the standard 40/60-split rear doors – and a low load floor height of 19.5 inches. Payload capacity is rated at 1,500 pounds (S model).
This capability plays right into the heart of the vehicle - a pullout bench that features an array of luthier's tools such as calipers, scale rulers, fret files, fret pullers, different types of sandpaper, super glue, wood glue, tuning forks, a radius planer, various guitar parts (strings, tuning machines, frets, nuts, bridges, knobs, linseed oil, potentiometers, pickups), pliers, screw drivers and a soldering station. Luthiers can either extend this bench to the lip of the NV200 to work on instruments or guide in on its pair of casters to a separate location to perform repair or setup work on guitars.
Located directly behind the front seat is a custom rack that holds up to four guitars in various stages of repair and disrepair. The cockpit has been customized to evoke Gibson's classic designs with wood veneers in the dashboard that evoke classic Gibson materials such as mahogany and flamed maple and special leather-appointed seats.
Gibson Pro Audio is also represented throughout the vehicle with a custom audio system provided by Onkyo, Gibson Pro Audio consumer electronics' brand.
The vehicle is sheathed in a full body wrap that reads, "Gibson Repair & Restoration" on one side, and "Gibson Pro Audio" on the other. The wrap also contains images of classic Gibson stringed instruments and Gibson Pro Audio products such as speakers made by Cerwin-Vega! and KRK and Onkyo- and Stanton-branded headphones.
Castelli explains, "Gibson and Nissan are both Tennessee-based companies that build products worthy of consumer passion yet suitable for everyday use. We've sought a way to combine forces for many years now, and the introduction of the 2013 NV200 Compact Cargo van gives us the perfect opportunity to do so. Working with Gibson has been a dream come true for many of us here at Nissan, and we look forward to the next steps collaborating with them."
The Gibson NV200 Repair & Restoration Van made by Nissan will debut on March 27th at the 2013 New York International Auto Show. Please visit www.NissanNews.com for artist renderings and a video on the construction of the vehicle.
