No. 867,758, filed Oct. 20, 1969, for Method for Adding Elements to Molten Metals, now abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many different methods are used to add components to molten metals, particularly molten steel, for alloying purposes, for deoxidation purposes, etc. The various methods include the following:
In the case of a deoxidizer, this has been added in the form of a single lump. This suffers from the defect of causing a loss of mechanical properties because of air oxidation or slag oxidation.
A method has been proposed wherein granular or powdery additive agents are blown by means of a gas through a heat resisting pipe inserted into the molten steel. This method does not permit the insertion of additive agents into the molten steel deeper than the length of the pipe. In addition, the control of the speed of addition is difficult and inaccurate.
Elements have been added to molten steel by the insertion of a phosphorizer into the molten steel. This reaction is difficult to control and is also dangerous.
A gaseous additive agent such as nitrogen have been blown through porous refractory materials provided in the bottom of the ladle. This method requires complicated installations and subsequent removal of the porous refractory material.
Elements have been added from a container into a ladle, but this method results in air oxidation and slag oxidation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Generally speaking, in accordance with the invention, a wirerod which carries, for example by means of a coating, additives for molten metal, e.g. molten steel, and an organic binder, for example a resin binder, which decomposes to gaseous products in the molten metal but which does not contain components harmful to the molten metal is fed into a molten metal bath at a conventional speed, for example 0.1,to m/sec. The organic binder decomposes rapidly with the generation of gas, the additive is released and the molten bath is stirred by the gas so that the additive is uniformly and thoroughly distributed throughout the molten metal.
It is accordingly a primary object of the present invention to provide a method which permits the addition of components to molten metals such as molten steel while avoiding all of the disadvantages of the known methods for the addition of such components.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for the addition of components such as deoxidizing agents, alloying agents, etc. to molten metals, particularly molten steel under conditions whereby the components are added deep into the molten metal bath at controlled speed of addition and .under optimum conditions of reaction-and distribution throughout the molten metal bath.
' Other objects and advantages of the present inven- With the above and other objects in view, the present invention mainly comprises the introduction into a molten metal bath of a wire rod which carries thereon additive components for the molten metal and an or ganic binder which decomposes to gaseous products in the molten bath, the amount and composition of the-organic binder being such that the same does not harm the molten metal. The speed of feeding the wire rod into the molten metal bath may vary or may remain constant, and is generally maintained at between about 0.1 and 15 m/sec.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING For a fuller understandlng of the invention, reference is bad to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the insertion of a wire rod into a molten metal bath in a ladle; and
FIG. 2 shows on the left a transverse cross section and on the right a longitudinal cross section of a coated wire rod of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIG. 1, a wire 6 is fed into a bath of molten steel 5 in a ladle 4, from. a wire drum 1 by means of a wire feeding device 2 and a guide pipe 3. The wire feeding device 2 is conventional.
As shown in FIG. 2, a wire core 7 is covered with a coating 8 which comprises the additive component or components for the molten metal plus a binder, for example a synthetic resin binder8. The wire 6, comprising the core 7 and coating 8 is fed into the molten metal bath at a speed of 0.1 to 15 m/sec and at the same time a gas, for example, an inert gas, is blown over the surification and of the appended claims.
face of themolten metal, if necessary, in order to eliminate slag on the surface and to prevent air oxidation.
The molten metal bath is shown in the drawing to be in a ladle. However, it may be in a furnace, tundish, pouring stream or mold instead of in a ladle.
The wire body is shown to consist of a wire reinforcing center core 7 and the coating comprising powdery additive agents bound by synthetic resins which give flexibility to the wire in the molten steel, in addition to decomposing into gaseous products.
The reason forthe use of granular or powdery additive agents is that these can very easily be packed onto the wire core by means of the binder, and the resulting wire body can thus be very easily introduced into the molten bath and thereby provide a high efficiency of the added components.
The method of the present invention may be used for the addition of all types of additive elements commonly added to molten metals, and the following are among the examples of suitable additive agents to be used for particular types of additions:
l. Nitrogen addition:
. Calcium cyanamide (CaCN,)
Ammonium salts (NI-I NO Aluminium nitride (AIN) Ferromanganese nitride (Mn-N) or the above agents also containing iron (Fe).
2. Calcium addition Calcium silicon group (Ca-Si group) Calcium silicon manganesev group (Ca-Si-Mn group) Calcium silicon aluminium group (Ca-Si-Al group) Calcium silicon magnesium group (Ca-Si-Mg group) or the above also containing iron (Fe).
3. Magnesium addition Magnesium calcium silicon group (Mg-Ca-Si group) Magnesium aluminium group (Mg-Al group) Magnesium silicon group (Mg-Si group) or the above alloys also containing iron (Fe).
4. Others Boron group (B group) Niobium group (Nb group) Titanium group (Ti group) Misch metal, lanthanum, cerium or the above also containing iron (Fe).
5. General deoxidizer:
Silicon group (Si group) Lithium group (Li group) Manganese group (Mn group) Phosphorus group (P group) Silicon manganese group (Si-Mn group) or the above alloys also containing iron (Fe).
The core wire for the wire rod is desirably made of iron, aluminum, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, magnesium, titanium and alloys thereof.
The binding agent for binding the additive agent to the wire rod should not only decompose to gaseous products at the temperature of the molten metal bath, but it should be of a material which does not adversely affect the molten metal, i.e. molten steel. The most suitable synthetic resins for this purpose are polytetrafluoroethylene and polymonochlorotrifluoroethylene. In general, any synthetic resin may be used provided that its hydrogen content is such that it will not adversely affect the steel. This will of course depend not only on the particular type of resin, but also on the amount of resin used.
Other suitable synthetic resin binding agents include: polymerized vinyls and vinylidenes such as polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene chloride; polyesters such as the esters of adipic acid with polyalcohols such as ethylene glycol; phenolic resins such as phenol formaldehydes; rubbery polymers such as polymerized butadiene and chlorobutadiene; cellulose esters such as cellulose acetate; polyamides, e.g. the condensation product of hexamethylene diamine with a dicarboxylic acid such as adipic acid; etc.
The speed of addition and the amount of addition are easily controlled by means of the present invention so that the reaction is carried out over a wide area of the molten steel, with a high degree of stability. As a result, air oxidation and slag oxidation, as well as mechanical loss, are substantially eliminated and a high yield of the added material can be regularly attained. Furthermore, it is possible in a continuous casting process to reduce denaturization of the elements in the molten steel caused by the acceleration of the reaction in a ladle where elements are added beforehand in a tundish or a mold.
In the conventional methods the molten steel has to be stirred by means of a gas pumping process or the like in order to avoid the uneven presence of elements in a stationary pool such as a ladle or a mold. Contrary thereto, in accordance with the method of the present invention, the molten steel is stirred by the gas generated by decomposition of the organic binder, e.g. the synthetic resin so that the additive agents are thus uniformly distributed. In addition, the proportion of additive agents to be contained in the mixture of synthetic resin and additive agent can be adjusted as desired because the necessary strength of the wire rod is produced by the wire core.
The following example further illustrates the invention, reference being had to the drawing in the description of the example.
An iron core 7 is coated with granularaluminum nitride and silicon distributed through polytetrafluoroethylene. The core 7 and the coating 8 thus forming the wire 6. This wire 6 is wound on a wire drum 1 and is fed by means of a wire feeding device 2 and guide pipe 3 into a molten steel bath 5 contained in a ladle 4 at a constant rate of 10 m/sec. The decomposition of the polytetrafluoroethylene results in gas generation which distributes the granular aluminum nitride and silicon throughout the molten metal bath in a uniform manner.
While the invention has been illustrated in particular with respect to specific additive and coating agents, it is apparent that variations and modifications of the invention can be made.
What is claimed is:
1. Method of distributing additive components in a molten metal bath, which comprises introducing at a speed of about 0.1 15 m/sec into said molten metal bath a flexible metal wire consisting essentially of a metal core, a particulate coating of an additive agent for said metal bath on said metal core and a synthetic resin binder binding said additive agent to said metal core and giving flexibility to said metal wire, said synthetic resin binder decomposing with generation of gas at the temperature of the molten metal bath, the thus generated gas stirring said molten metal bath and thus uniformly distributing said additive agent throughout said molten metal bath.
2. Method according to claim 1 wherein said flexible metal wire is continuously unwound from a wire drum and continuously introduced into said molten metal bath.
3. Method according to claim 1 wherein said molten metal is steel.
4. Method according to claim 1 wherein an inert gas is blown over the surface of the molten metal bath to prevent air and slag oxidation.
5. Method according to claim 1 wherein said additive agent is in granular form.
6. Method according to claim 1 wherein said synthetic resin is selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene and polymonochlorotrifluoroethylene.
7. Method according to claim I wherein said additive agent is a deoxidizer for the molten metal.
8. Method according to claim 1 wherein said additive agent is an alloying element for said molten metal.
9. Method according to claim 8 wherein said molten metal is steel.

A British Reports Recommends That The European Union Ban Fracking
A New Report Claims Fracking Poses Significant Risks To Humans
A British scientific study shows that fracking, the gas extraction technique, poses a significant health risk to humans and wildlife. The CHEM Trust report suggests that a European Union moratorium on fracking be established, and new regulatory guidelines should be put in place for the industry.
Fracking was banned in New York last year for the same reasons reports Lime Crime. The governor of New York said fracking produces the same health risks as secondary cigarette smoke. The main issue is the fracking procedure captures underground gas, but it also releases gas into the atmosphere that is not captured by industry equipment. The gas that escapes into the atmosphere changes the atmosphere, and that impacts humans, wild life and the environment.
Another issue with fracking is the changes it produces in the earth. Fracking companies say the earth is not damaged by fracking, but the earth is telling a different story. Fracking causes the earth to reconfigure itself somewhere else on the planet. The earth is a unique form of consciousness that adjusts to human disruptions. We call these adjustments natural events, but they are only natural in the sense that the earth produces them from the acts of humans.
Trump's Rollercoaster Ride in His Bid for Presidency `
Everyone's well aware of the approaching 2016 election next year. Hopeful candidates have starting speaking on the issues, but if you've been watching the Republican party you may have been surprised to know that Trump has decided to run for president. Yes, Donald Trump is supposedly running for president in 2016, and his struggle has been less than perfect since.
The news itself was a shock, but Daniel Amen indicated that when Trump brought a touchy subject to the surface on his June 16th campaign speech, it started a domino effect for his legacy. In his speech, Trump claimed that Mexico brought drug dealer, rapists, and criminals to our great nation. In response, Univision terminated their contract with Miss Universe Organization and now Trump is seeking revenge in a $500 million dollar lawsuit. Univision wasn't the only company to take a stand against Trump.
Macy's dropped Trumped menswear line after holding it for 11 years in their stores due to the very same intolerant speech made on June 16th. Macy's stressed their appreciation of the Mexican culture and the contributions of those who have immigrated. So what's next? According to the Trump Hotel Collection, Trump's luxury hotels have been frazzled by a huge credit card breach.
With Trump's terrible luck lately, will he be able to turn it around and make his bid for president a reality? Or will he just satisfy the skeptical naysayers?
David Cameron Seeks To End Encryption
People like Christian Broda in the UK interested in protecting their private and business information through encryption may face trouble in the future if their Prime Minister has his way.
With encryption, anyone can take their information and distort it so it becomes unreadable or unusable to anyone without the key which acts as a cypher to decrypt it. Encryption is common with big companies such as Apple and Facebook, but it has also increased in popularity among common users of PCs as encryption becomes more accessible. This has been a problem for law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the country who have responded to terrorism fears with a stronger presence on the internet as a preventative measure.
Encryption as a political hot button came arguably came about when Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor, fled the US for Russia and revealed to the world the American bulk data collection program which monitored telephone and internet communications in an effort to combat terrorism efforts. The actions of spy agencies angered many in the states, but also attracted the support of tech giants who supported public use of encryption to keep their data secure from the government's eyes.
Following the terrorist attack in Paris which claimed the lives of journalists and cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo, Cameron made an address on the issue of terrorist threats in Europe and the UK. He also went on to state that communication between extremists must be monitored, and that such an act becomes impossible if law enforcement bodies cannot decipher data collected.
Red Light Drama
Red Flax is a red light camera company based in Phoenix, Arizona that is currently under investigation for their involvement in federal bribery. A state senator from Cincinnati, Ohio is currently working to eliminate the use of red light cameras in his State. Senator Bill Seitz noted that the investigation of the red light camera company adds a new dimension to the notion that the red light cameras and their existence are all about money. The red light scandal has prompted the senator to request that cities sue their state on the red light issue and drop any lawsuits that are in the works. He also called for cities to refund fines to drivers that were entrapped. The former chief executive of the company pled guilty to the bribery conspiracy in which she tried to get or keep contracts that were established in Cincinnati and Columbus Ohio. Documents show that the CEO of the company was giving politicians thousands of dollars in monetary compensation if they promised to install the red light cameras. Andrew Ginther is currently running for mayor in Columbus, Ohio. Ginther has been working diligently to help with the bribery investigation but keeps the notion that he was not linked to any wrongdoing. He is not a target, subject, focus, or person of interest in the federal investigation. Ginther and Seitz want to do what's best for the wrongly fined citizens of Cincinnati and Columbus

Texas Holding Out on Same-sex Marriage Licenses
The Supreme Court has said marriage equality for everyone, including same-sex couples, but Texas is still putting up a fight.
Ken Paxton, Texas AG says county clerks can refuse marriage certificates based on religious objections. Is this going to be Alabama all over again?
Alabama tried to argue the same clause, but the Supreme Court clarified their ruling, and the state had no choice but to issue marriage licenses. Undoubtedly, this will happen again with Texas.
The county clerks who refuse issuing a marriage license for gay couples "may face legal repucussions, including a fine," the Attorney General acknowledged.
"But if that is the case, there are many attorneys willing to assist, even on a pro bono basis, to defend religious beliefs. Of course I will also publicly defend those rights."
Brad Reifler has learned that Paxton also said the government cannot step in and force a judge or justice of the peace to perform wedding ceremonies for same-sex couples if they have a religious objection. Under Texas state law, a judge or justice of the peace is not required to officiate at weddings.
More than half the state are waiting on the official ruling from the Texas Attorney General's office before issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The Affordable Health Care Act by the Numbers
Since the Affordable Care Act went into effect, the number of poor Americans who benefited by receiving health insurance increased a great deal. These numbers correspond to earlier estimates that were developed by such polling companies like Gallup and the National Health Interview Survey.
According to the National Health Interview Survey which released their polling data on Tuesday, the number of uninsured black Americans dropped from 18.9 percent in 2013 to 13.5 percent. Since the survey began in 1997, no other racial or ethnic group has seen such a significant decline. The Hispanic population has also greatly benefited from the Affordable Care Act, with the uninsured in this group falling to 17 percent from a 2013 percentage of 25.2. And, of the white American population under age 65, their uninsured numbers were down to 9.8 percent from the 12.1 percent recorded in 2013.
Nexbank advisers and James Dondero agree that the expansion of the government's insurance program for the poor, Medicaid, has been a big provider for America's poorest. However, if the 20 some states that declined to expand their Medicaid program had opted to do so instead, the uninsured numbers would most certainly have been reduced even further. Many of the states that refused to expand Medicaid are those where the largest number of America's poorest reside.
The American population described as "near poor" along with the middle-class who received subsidies for health insurance saw the least decline from 7.6 percent to 7 percent. However, if the Supreme Court rules against the current subsidy regulations, we can expect to see many of these needed subsidies eliminated.
Confederate Flag Removed From Alabama Statehouse
White Southerners have long contended that the Confederate Flag is merely an homage to their ancestors and a reminder of their heritage. Staunch defenders of the flag say that it's more of a symbol of states rights than anything else, but the arguments for it being a positive symbol, as time passes and it is used in more and more negative ways. Most people, especially African-Americans see the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism and an incredibly racist past.
Alabama decided on Wednesday to take down the Confederate flag that had been flying over their state capital stated Amen Clinic. A Missippi senator has also called for the state flag, which closely resemble's the confederate flag to be replaced, and a Kentucky senator asked for a confederate era statue to be removed.
All of the actions are a step in the right direction, although many people feel like they should have been taken a long time ago. South Carolina has still not taken any action on but the Governor, Nikki R. Haley, has asked for the flag to be removed.
The Revenue Debate
Rand Paul made numerous headlines last month when he delivered an almost 11 hour long filibuster damning the Patriot Act and its activities. The Senator has shifted gears from talk of national security to the current state of the nation's economy. Rand Paul made the statement that he wanted to blow up their current tax code. The senator is proposing a far-reaching flat tax in order to do so. Paul is encouraging legislators to completely gut the current tax code which is incredibly complicated and offers corporations far too many handouts. A fair and flat tax would take a 14.5 percent of income from all citizens says Dr. Jennifer Walden. Paul and other Republicans are fully supportive of Paul's plan. This flat tax would definitely help out middle class families. An average family consisting of four individuals would receive the first $50,000 of their salary tax free. This massive tax cut would inevitably create 1.4 million jobs for Americans while increasing the gross domestic American product by 10 percent or more. The plan would also reduce the National Treasury's revenue by 2 trillion dollars over the course of ten years. Tax experts and politicians are unsure of the plan. There are numerous unforeseen details that haven't been discussed when it comes to the cost of the tax cut. Entitlement programs, payroll taxes and numerous other expenditures still haven't been accounted for. Paul plans on rolling out a more detailed plan later this year.
How Well Do You Know Donald Trump?

Socialism grows as large crowds greet Bernie Sanders
Vermont's independent Senator Bernie Sanders has seen his form of center socialism hit the mainstream in the US as his bid for the White House appears to be gathering momentum. The estimated number of people Sanders and his campaign hoped would attend each meeting and speech he has scheduled has been surpassed by large amounts, NPR reports. Coupled with recent polls placing Sanders just eight points behind Clinton in the early results for the Iowa Democratic vote the Sanders campaign is being described as gathering Bernie-mentum. Cláudio Loureiro Heads of Gazetadopovo has seen the steady increase in Bernie's popularity.
Sanders has brought his own brand of socialism to the campaign trail and this now seems to be causing something of a surge in followers to the Sanders campaign. Sanders is calling for a number of changes to take place in US politics, which include the chance to redistribute the wealth of the US economy away from the top earners and back towards the working people of the nation. Sanders is also looking to borrow much from the European nations he has modeled his socialist style upon, such as Sweden and Denmark. Sanders is attracting thousands of supporters to meetings in major cities who are largely interested in expanding free health care and bringing reduced college tuitions to the majority.

Harriet Martin | 07 Apr 2013 19:24 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Sudan, United Kingdom
Harriet Martin is a freelance journalist in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital. She explains what's expected to be discussed at the ongoing two-day Darfur aid conference in the Qatari capital Doha.
This conference is part of the internationally backed peace plan, but many donors will not be pledging money because development money means working more closely with the government. They like the idea of helping Darfur move to a development phase, but development money is unlike aid money, which they more easily can control.
The US is currently the largest Darfur aid donor. They have had Sudan under strict sanctions for 15 years and are particularly hostile towards this government because of President Omar al-Bashir's indictment at the International Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged war crimes in Darfur.
The second biggest donor, the UK government, is taking a more nuanced approach. It will bid on Monday, but will only produce the cash if certain conditions are met.
There is a political agenda behind these protests. The main rebel groups who claim to represent many of the 1.4 million people still in camps have not signed up to the current peace plan. So they do not want to see this conference, which is part of that plan, succeed. They want to get the message out that Darfur is not safe, nor is it ready for development.
The government, on the other hand, wants to stress how safe Darfur is. The reality is that parts of it are, but many places remain insecure and lawless.
The organisers of the conference are saying there will never be an ideal time to start developing Darfur and that the process of development could itself help stabilise the region.
Many are sceptical that the government will deliver the full amount. The government has only recently produced the $1.65m seed money to help establish this peace plan which was signed nearly two years ago.
Having said that, there is a clear political interest for them in sorting out the issues in Darfur - it is one of the conditions the US has made for lifting sanctions on Sudan. The question many wonder is if the political will really exists. These are difficult economic times, and it is hard to see how this undeveloped region would become a financial priority.

Tropical deforestation could disrupt rainfall globally
(12/18/2014) Large-scale deforestation in the tropics could drive significant and widespread shifts in rainfall distribution and temperatures, potentially affecting agriculture both locally and far from where forest loss is occurring, concludes a study published today in Nature Climate Change.
Children 'clean' oil spill with kitchen utensils in the Sundarbans
(12/15/2014) On December 9th, a tanker slammed into another vessel along the Shela River in the world's largest mangrove forest: the Sundarbans in Bangladesh. The tanker sank, spilling an estimated 75,000 gallons (350,000 liters) of fuel oil into waterways that are a part of a reserve for threatened Ganges river dolphins and Irrawaddy dolphins.
New film highlights local resistance to Nicaragua's canal
(12/11/2014) This fall, filmmakers Tom Miller and Nuin-Tara Key with Pretty Good Productions found themselves in Nicaragua where they heard about a stunning project: the Gran Canal. Approved last year, the canal is meant to compete with the Panama Canal to the south. Built by a Chinese company, it will cut through 278 kilometers, destroying forests and driving through the largest freshwater body in Central America.
To collect or not to collect? Experts debate the need for specimens
(12/10/2014) In 1912, a group of intrepid explorers led by Rollo and Ida Beck, widely acknowledged to be the foremost marine bird collectors of their time, embarked on a most remarkable effort to catalogue South America's oceanic birds. Museums of the day held opportunistically collected specimens from scattered sources, but rarely did these include ocean-bound birds that spent little time near the coast.
Indigenous leader murdered before he could attend Climate Summit
(12/08/2014) Days before José Isidro Tendetza Antún was supposed to travel to the UN Climate Summit in Lima to publicly file a complaint against a massive mining operation, he went missing. Now, the Guardian reports that the body of the Shuar indigenous leader has been found, bound and buried in an unmarked grave on the banks of the Zamora River.
Tradeoff: Sabah banks on palm oil to boost forest protection
(12/05/2014) Last month Sabah set aside an additional 203,000 hectares of protected forest reserves, boosting the Malaysian state's extent of protected areas to 21 percent of its land mass. But instead of accolades, Sabah forestry leaders were criticized for how they went about securing those reserves: allowing thousands of hectares of deforested land within an officially designated forestry area to be converted for oil palm plantations
One-two punch: farming, global warming destroying unique East African forests
(12/03/2014) Lush mountains speckle East Africa's grasslands and desert, from Mozambique to Ethiopia. These isolated habitats are home to a plethora of species, and are considered by scientists to be some of the most biodiverse regions in the world. However, their forests are being cut down for farmland and are threatened by global warming, putting at risk multitudes of species that have nowhere else to go.
New survey finds surprisingly large population of endangered owl
(12/03/2014) The Anjouan scops owl—an elusive owl found only on its tiny eponymous island—was once considered among the world's most endangered owls, and even the most threatened birds. However, the first in-depth survey of the owls on the island finds that, in fact, the population is far larger than initially estimated.
New calendar celebrates primates and raises money for their survival
(11/26/2014) Humans, or Homo sapiens sapiens, are really just upright apes with big brains. We may have traded actual jungles for gleaming concrete and steel ones, but we are still primates, merely one member of an order consisting of sixteen families. We may have removed ourselves from our wilder beginnings, but our extant relatives—the world's wonderful primates—serve as a gentle living reminder of those days.
Meet the world's rarest chameleon: Chapman's pygmy
(11/25/2014) In just two forest patches may dwell a tiny, little-known chameleon that researchers have dubbed the world's most endangered. Chapman's pygmy chameleon from Malawi hasn't been seen in 16 years. In that time, its habitat has been whittled down to an area about the size of just 100 American football fields.
Reeling in religious messages: how faith impacts fisheries in Fiji
(11/25/2014) Marrying religion and conservation could be key to making Fiji's fisheries sustainable. Fijians have strong religious beliefs, which were primarily introduced by Christian missionaries in the 1835, and today profoundly guide their daily lives. Fijians primarily depend on fisheries close to shore for their survival, which is the case for most small Pacific island countries.
Jane Goodall: 5 reasons to have hope for the planet
(11/19/2014) Jane Goodall is not only arguably the most famous conservationist who ever lived, but also the most well-known and respected female scientist on the planet today. Her path to reach that stature is an unlikely as it is inspiring. Told to 'never give up' by her mother, Goodall set out in her 20s to pursue her childhood dream: to live with animals in Africa. By the time she was 26 she doing just this.
A tale of 2 Perus: Climate Summit host, 57 murdered environmentalists
(11/18/2014) On September 1st, indigenous activist, Edwin Chota, and three other indigenous leaders were gunned down and their bodies thrown into rivers. Chota, an internationally-known leader of the Asháninka in Peru, had warned several times that his life was on the line for his vocal stance against the destruction of his peoples' forests, yet the Peruvian government did nothing to protect him—or others.
Using games to teach kids the value of nature and philanthropy
(11/18/2014) Kids are spending more time using tablets and smart phones for learning and entertainment. But hours spent gaming, Tweeting, and playing on Instagram and Facebook, may mean less engagement with nature, potentially making it more difficult for conservation organizations to inspire and influence the next generation of donors and decision makers. Given the state of the world's environment, that is a troubling thought.
A nature photographer's dream: staff photographer for the Wildlife Conservation Society
(11/17/2014) Julie Larsen Maher has what many wildlife photographers would consider a dream job: staff photographer for the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), a non-profit that runs five zoos and aquariums in New York City as well as numerous site-based field programs in the U.S. and overseas. As staff photographer, Maher helps tell the stories behind WCS's conservation work, which ranges from veterinary procedures with Bronx Zoo animals to working with local communities in remote parts of Zambia to protect wildlife.
Surprising reasons to be optimistic about saving forests
(11/14/2014) In the 1990s, the world watched with alarm as vast tracts of tropical rainforest were torn down for timber and croplands, dug up for minerals and energy, and flooded for hydroelectric projects. Conservation groups, governments, philanthropists, and institutions like the World Bank collectively spent billions of dollars on programs to stop the carnage. But as viewed from satellites high above Earth's surface, those efforts barely dented deforestation rates.
New tapir? Scientists dispute biological discovery of the century
(11/13/2014) Nearly a year ago, scientists announced an incredible discovery: a new tapir species from the western Amazon in Brazil and Colombia. The announcement was remarkable for a number of reasons: this was the biggest new land mammal discovered in more than 20 years and was only the fifth tapir known to the world. But within months other researchers expressed doubt over the veracity of the new species.
Prelude to Paris: China and U.S. surprise world with joint climate deal
(11/12/2014) In what will likely have major ramifications for a new climate agreement in Paris in 2015, China and the U.S. surprised everyone today by announcing a joint climate deal. At a press conference in Beijing, China President, Xi Jingping, and U.S. President, Barack Obama, outlined climate actions for both juggernauts up to 2030.
Local people are not the enemy: real conservation from the frontlines
(11/12/2014) Saving one of the world's most endangered primates means re-thinking conservation. When Noga Shanee and her colleagues first arrived in Northeastern Peru on a research trip to study the yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda), she was shocked by what she observed.
'Guns kill trees too': overhunting raises extinction threat for trees
(11/12/2014) A new paper confirms what ecologists have long feared: hunting birds and mammals drastically raises the risk of extinction for tropical trees. Following the long-lifespan of a single canopy tree, Miliusa horsfieldii, researchers discovered that overhunting of animals could increase the chances of extinction for the species fourteen times over a century, from 0.5 percent to seven percent.
Chief Curiosity Correspondent tackles sexism, aids conservation
(11/11/2014) Have you ever been offered the job of your dreams without knowing you were being interviewed? Have you ever communicated with a 5-year-old about the wonders of Salmonella? Have you ever been disappointed not to have larvae hatching from your skin? If you answered yes to all three questions, then you are either Emily Graslie herself or you should subscribe to her YouTube channel. Immediately.
Peru has massive opportunity to avoid emissions from deforestation
(11/10/2014) Nearly a billion tons of carbon in Peru's rainforests is at risk from logging, infrastructure projects, and oil and gas extraction, yet opportunities remain to conserve massive amounts of forest in indigenous territories, parks, and unprotected areas, finds a study published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Indigenous uprising earned tribe territories, but greatest challenges lie ahead
(11/06/2014) In 1925, Nele Kantule led a revolution that would make Guna Yala an independent and sovereign indigenous territory within Panama. Since then, the Guna have maintained a way of life that has allowed them to preserve their natural resources and mainland forest to an exceptional degree. But today, like many indigenous groups around the world, the Guna face some of their greatest challenges yet: the impacts of climate change, encroaching outside influences, and a younger generation that many elders feel is drifting from its roots.
Is the world moving backwards on protected areas?
(11/06/2014) Protected areas are undoubtedly the world's most important conservation success story. But, despite this, progress on protected areas is stalling and in some cases even falling behind. According to a sobering new paper, only 20-50 percent of the world's land and marine protected areas are meeting their goals, while the rest are hampered by lack of funding, poor management, and government ambivalence.
Indonesian government's concession policy prioritizes companies over forest communities
(11/03/2014) A report by the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) analyzes 100 conflicts around the world in the mining, oil and gas, logging and agricultural sectors and examines how and why they come about. The report focuses on several emerging economies, including Brazil, Colombia, Liberia, Peru, and Indonesia.
Between the Forest and the Sea: The Yarsuisuit Collective - Part II
(10/31/2014) In this multimedia piece by SRI fellow Bear Guerra, we follow Andrés de León and the Yarsuisuit collective, a group of men who grow and harvest food sustainably in the Guna mainland forest. They also run a store on the island of Ustupu that helps support their families, serving as a model for the wider community.
Pet trade likely responsible for killer salamander fungus
(10/30/2014) As if amphibians weren't facing enough—a killer fungal disease, habitat destruction, pollution, and global warming—now scientists say that a second fungal disease could spell disaster for dozens, perhaps hundreds, of species. A new paper finds that this disease has the potential to wipe out salamanders and newts across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas.
The Search for Lost Frogs: one of conservation's most exciting expeditions comes to life in new book
(10/30/2014) One of the most exciting conservation initiatives in recent years was the Search for Lost Frogs in 2010. The brainchild of scientist, photographer, and frog-lover, Robin Moore, the initiative brought a sense of hope—and excitement—to a whole group of animals often ignored by the global public—and media outlets. Now, Moore has written a fascinating account of the expedition: In Search of Lost Frogs.
Photos: slumbering lions win top photo prize
(10/27/2014) The king of beasts took this year's top prize in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, which is co-owned by the Natural History Museum (London) and the BBC. The photo, of female lions and their cubs resting on a rock face in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, was taken by Michael 'Nick' Nichols, a photographer with National Geographic.
Next big idea in forest conservation? Recognize the value of novel forests
(10/23/2014) Think first before you eradicate non-native species says Dr. Ariel E. Lugo, the current director of the International Institute of Tropical Forestry within the USDA Forest Service, based in Puerto Rico. Lugo, an accomplished ecologist, supports the idea that both native and non-native plants have important roles to play in conservation efforts.
Saving the survivor: China scrambles to keep the finless porpoise from extinction
(10/22/2014) On the morning of July 14, 2002 Qi Qi ate breakfast as he always did. As the world's only captive baiji – or Yangtze river dolphin – Qi Qi was something of a celebrity in China and his caretakers kept a close eye on his health. That care may explain why, after being injured by fishermen, he lived an impressive 22 years in the Freshwater Dolphin Research Center in Wuhan, China.
Top scientists raise concerns over commercial logging on Woodlark Island
(10/21/2014) A number of the world's top conservation scientists have raised concerns about plans for commercial logging on Woodlark Island, a hugely biodiverse rainforest island off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The scientists, with the Alliance of Leading Environmental Scientists and Thinkers (ALERT), warn that commercial logging on the island could imperil the island's stunning local species and its indigenous people.
Indonesia developing mega coal mine five times larger than Singapore
(10/20/2014) Global miner BHP Billiton and Indonesian partner PT Adaro are developing what could become the single largest mine in Indonesia in terms of land area, with BHP owning 75 percent. The IndoMet mine complex in Central and East Kalimantan provinces on Borneo comprises seven coal concessions, which cover 350,000 hectares, or about five times the size of Singapore.
Walking the walk: zoo kicks off campaign for orangutans and sustainable palm oil
(10/20/2014) If you see people wearing orange this October, it might not be for Halloween, but for orangutans. Chester Zoo's conservation campaign, Go Orange for Orangutans, kicks off this month for its second year. The campaign aims to raise money, and awareness, for orangutans in Borneo, which have become hugely impacted by deforestation often linked to palm oil plantations.
Indonesia's tough choice: capping coal as Asian demand grows
(10/17/2014) Indonesia cannot build power stations fast enough. And neither can most of its Asian neighbors. Rapid economic and population growth are driving equally rapid demands for electricity as the region builds out power grids to connect up millions of people to fuel prosperity.
Indonesia tries to clamp down on coal sector's worst excesses
(10/16/2014) Out of the jungles of East Borneo in Indonesia comes the fire that fuels Asia's burgeoning economies: coal. Miners dig deep open pits, clearing forests and farmlands to extract coal from thick black seams, which is then crushed and loaded onto trucks and barges for shipment to China, India, Japan and other destinations in Asia.
India plans huge palm oil expansion, puts forests at risk
(10/14/2014) The world's largest importer of palm oil, India is seeking to slake its thirst domestically. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that India has the potential to cultivate oil palm in 1.03 million hectares of land--nearly the size of the U.S. state of Connecticut--and produce four to five million metric tons of palm oil per year.
'River wolves' recover in Peruvian park, but still remain threatened inside and out (photos)
(10/14/2014) Lobo de río, or river wolf, is the very evocative Spanish name for one of the Amazon's most spectacular mammals: the giant river otter. This highly intelligent, deeply social, and simply charming freshwater predator almost vanished entirely due to a relentless fur trade in the 20th Century. But decades after the trade in giant river otter pelts was outlawed, the species is making a comeback.
Jane Goodall joins mongabay
(10/13/2014) Famed primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall—whose image is known the world over—has joined the advisory board of mongabay.org. This is the non-profit branch of mongabay.com, an environmental and science website with a special focus on tropical forests. Goodall first came to global prominence at the age of 26 when she set off to Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania to study chimpanzee behavior.
Next big idea in forest conservation? Empower youth leaders
(10/09/2014) Want to save forests? Don't forget the youth, says Pedro Walpole, the Chair and Director of Research for the Environmental Science for Social Change, a Jesuit environmental research organization promoting sustainability and social justice across the Asia Pacific region. 'Youth leadership in environmental management is key,' Walpole told mongabay.com.
The only solution for polar bears: 'stop the rise in CO2 and other greenhouse gases'
(10/08/2014) Steven Amstrup, Chief Scientist for Polar Bears International, has worked diligently on polar bears for over 30 years. He radio-collared some of the first bears and discovered that annual activity areas for 75 tracked females averaged at a stunning 149,000 square kilometers. His recent work highlighted the cost of global warming to these incredible animals and the sea ice they so closely depend on.
Saving Peru's sea turtles and marine birds: conservationists and fishermen partner to tackle bycatch
(10/07/2014) Marine conservationists often view fisheries as an enemy of sorts, vacuuming up fish with little thought to the long-term consequences and using equipment that also ends up killing other species, i.e. bycatch like sea turtles and marine birds. However, Joanna Alfaro Shigueto, the President of the Peruvian NGOProDelphinus and winner of a 2012 Whitley Award, has chosen a different tact.
The Zanaga iron ore mine – a test of best laid plans for preserving wildlife
(10/06/2014) One of the largest iron ore deposits in Africa is located in a strip 47 kilometers long and three kilometers wide in the Republic of the Congo (RoC), bordering Gabon. A core section of the Guineo-Congolian Forest rises above this vast mineral deposit, and provides a home to flagship endangered species like western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, and forest elephants.
Despite high deforestation, Indonesia making progress on forests, says Norwegian official
(10/02/2014) Despite having a deforestation rate that now outpaces that of the Brazilian Amazon, Indonesia is beginning to undertake critical reforms necessary to curb destruction of its carbon-dense rainforests and peatlands, says a top Norwegian official. Speaking with mongabay.com in Jakarta on Monday, Stig Traavik, Norway's ambassador to Indonesia, drew parallels between recent developments in Indonesia and initiatives launched in Brazil a decade ago, when deforestation was nearly five times higher than it is today.
What makes the jaguar the ultimate survivor? New books highlights mega-predator's remarkable past and precarious future
(10/02/2014) For thousands of years the jaguar was a God, then it was vermin to be destroyed, and today it is the inspiration for arguably the most ambitious conservation effort on the planet. A new book by renowned big cat conservationist, Alan Rabinowitz, tells this remarkable story from the jaguar's evolutionary origins in Asia to its re-emergence today as a cultural and ecological symbol.
Turning point for Peru's forests? Norway and Germany put muscle and money behind ambitious agreement
(09/24/2014) From the Andes to the Amazon, Peru houses some of the world's most spectacular forests. Proud and culturally-diverse indigenous tribes inhabit the interiors of the Peruvian Amazon, including some that have chosen little contact with the outside world. And even as scientists have identified tens-of-thousands of species that make their homes from the leaf litter to the canopy.
Extinction island? Plans to log half an island could endanger over 40 species
(09/22/2014) Woodlark Island is a rare place on the planet today. This small island off the coast Papua New Guinea is still covered in rich tropical forest, an ecosystem shared for thousands of years between tribal peoples and a plethora of species, including at least 42 found no-where else. Yet, like many such wildernesses, Woodlark Island is now facing major changes: not the least of them is a plan to log half of the island.
Illegal tropical deforestation driven globally by "agro-conversion"
(09/11/2014) Nearly 50 percent of tropical deforestation to make room for commercial agriculture between 2000 and 2012 was done so illegally. That's a key finding of a report published by the U.S.-based nonprofit organization Forest Trends looking at the global tide of tropical forest "agro-conversion."
Meet the newest enemy to India's wildlife
(09/11/2014) A boom in infrastructure and population has forced India's wildlife to eke out a creative existence in an increasingly human-modified environment. Big cats such as the leopard are often spotted within large cities, on railway tracks, and sadly, on India's burgeoning and sprawling road network.
Next big idea in forest conservation? Harness the power of marketing
(09/11/2014) As a whole, conservationists have been slow to adapt the strategies of marketing or to market conservation at all. Dr. Diogo Veríssimo, a researcher who works at the interface between social and natural sciences, with a focus on behavior change and evidence-based conservation, thinks this needs to change.

Barbara Maningat, Mizzou soccer's Director of Multimedia, will work as a videographer with U.S. Soccer's Women's National Team Dec. 9-15.
Nov. 26, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou soccer's Director of Multimedia Barbara Maningat will travel to Carson, Calif., to work as a videographer for U.S. Soccer. Maningat accepted the offer in mid-November and will attend the full Women's National Team training camp at the National Training Center from Dec. 9-15.
While in Carson, Maningat will shoot and produce feature videos of the training camp and national team players for U.S. Soccer's YouTube channel at YouTube.com/ussoccer.
In the summer of 2013, Head Coach Bryan Blitz put Maningat in contact with a representative of the Women's National Team who has acted as a mentor for her throughout the regular season.
"I've been fortunate enough to receive fantastic feedback and constructive criticism from U.S. Soccer on the videos I create for the Mizzou Soccer program throughout this year," Maningat said. "This has been a great working relationship that has helped me improve our content and become better. It's been great enough to have U.S. Soccer as an advisor, but to work with them is a dream come true."
Maningat is a graduate assistant pursuing a master's degree in strategic communication at the Missouri School of Journalism. She has worked for the Mizzou Soccer program for two regular seasons, creating all video content, managing social media, assisting in media relations and handling various internal communications duties for the team.
"I love my job and the players really make it easy for me to showcase their personalities in how I promote the team," Maningat explained. "My goal with Mizzou soccer has always been to give our fans an inside look at our athletes and feel a connection with them."
Prior to her work with Mizzou, Maningat broke into the world of soccer with a TV internship for Major League Soccer's Sporting Kansas City in the summer of 2010. The following year she went on to become the first-ever intern for The England Football Association's video department, FATV in London, U.K.
"I wouldn't trade these experiences for the world. Working for Sporting KC and The FA made me fall in love with the sport and opened my eyes to what can really be accomplished with sports video in such professional programs," said Maningat.
Maningat's stint with U.S. Soccer is another step in the right direction as she hopes to continue doing video promotions work in the future.
"This is an incredible opportunity for me to be in the presence of some of the best soccer players in the world and I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to get started."
