To improve the financial conditions of people, the Government introduced debt help plans allowing you to solve your debt problems and live a stress free life. You can feel assured about these government schemes as they are safe, legal and supportive. Many people apply for these schemes as it offers you to get rid of increasing financial burden. Life becomes tough with burden on your shoulders and creditors waiting outside your house for payments. You lose peace of mind, happiness, and your confidence feels shattered being unable to pay your debts and take care of your family. Losing hope is not a good solution. You have to rise and look forward positively towards debt arrangement schemes that take you out from the well of debt.
If you are a resident of England or Wales or Northern Ireland, you can seek for various debt alternatives. Individual Voluntary Agreement also known as IVAs are covered under Insolvency Act, 1986. IVA schemes are government supported schemes as an alternative to bankruptcy. There are several other debt solutions such as debt management plan, debt relief order, administration order, bankruptcy, Debt arrangement schemes (DAS), trust deed and bankruptcy.
Let's see what debt management plans are and how they give you an option to be relieved from debt.
Administration order- It is a secured debt solution where you can contribute to the court as much as you can afford. Thereafter, the court on your behalf distributes to your creditors. Firstly, you need to check your eligibility for this relief. You can be eligible for the administration order if your unsecured debt amounts to less than 5,000 pounds. One order of the court should be against you to be eligible for the administration order. As soon as the administration order is enforced, the charges and interest on the debt stops accumulating and are frozen. If your situation is really bad where you are unable to repay the full debt in a reasonable time period, the court has to decide a date after which the residual debt would be written off. It is an effective solution by which you can avoid bankruptcy and live life freely after repaying the debt by making monthly affordable payments.
Debt relief order- Debt relief order is for people who have quite a low income and low value assets. It is very similar to bankruptcy where you do not have to pay any contribution to the creditors. To qualify for such a solution, there are certain eligibility parameters. The parameters are-
- You do not own a home
- You own unsecured debt amounting to less than 15,000 pounds
- If you have a car, it must be less than 1,000 pounds
- Other assets except car and home should be less than 300 pounds
- After settling all essential outstanding payments and bills, your disposable income must be less than 50 pounds.
If you qualify with these parameters, you can apply for DRO. Under DRO, the increasing interests and charges are frozen. Your financial condition is monitored for a year where it is assessed that if your condition has not improved still, your financial debt would be written off. You are entitled to pay fees of 90 pounds to the Insolvency Service.
Bankruptcy- Bankruptcy is considered to be a last resort. When a debtor is not left with any debt solution, bankruptcy is chosen as the last option. For being eligible, your unsecured debts have to be more than your assets. As easy as it sounds, it is not really that easy. It is highly recommended avoiding such a situation where you are declared bankrupt. It indicates a fresh start for a person as soon as the unsecured debt is written off. Your assets may be utilized to repay your debts, but that entirely depends upon the situation. After a year's time, your financial circumstances are assessed and finally your debts are written off. You can file a self petition for Bankruptcy as it is a government backed scheme under Part IX of Insolvency Act 1986. It is obvious that you have to face high levels of stress during this phase but you have to control yourself and stay positive.
Why do we fear from the word Bankruptcy? It is because it has some major drawbacks that frighten us.
Close bank accounts- There may be situations where you are supposed to close your bank account or society account. Your option to open an account in future also becomes doubtful because of the stringent norms of the banks.
Credit rating drops- Even if your bankruptcy period comes to an end, credit rating agencies maintain the information about your bankruptcy with them.
Employment problems- You have to check the terms and conditions of your job as it changes for a bankrupt person.
No credit- you will not get credit anymore when you have been declared bankrupt. As your credit worthiness has been adversely affected, it would be difficult for you to get credit from any institution.
Under an IVA, your credit rating is not damaged to an extent of bankruptcy. It is easier to live life under an IVA that allows repaying your debt slowly. There is respect and motivation in IVA which we cannot get from bankruptcy. The major benefit of IVA over bankruptcy is that your professional status remains unaffected. Your job is secured even if IVA is in process along with your job. It provides you a sense of security, happiness, and flexibility to pay and protect your assets from the creditors. IVA does not blacklist you from applying and seeking credit in the future. IVA is enforceable by law and protects the esteem of the debtor. As a debtor, the warning letters and calls take you to a higher level of frustration and dejection. Hence, IVA provides you a chance again to improve your credit ratings, secure further credit and live life respectfully. It helps you to dream for a day after five years when you would be debt free.

Re: No hdmi video on Asus AT3N7A-I with versions newer than 195.36.31
Hi Stephen (and thanks!),
Unfortunately, I have tried both of your suggestions and still get the same results...a black screen with the Weak or no signal message.
The only reason I had the two cables connected was to see if video was actually going through the VGA vs the HDMI, but my normal configuration is HDMI only. As for the resolution, I used to use 1360x768 because 1920x1080 resulted in blurry text, but with the 195 driver I am now running at the native 1920 and it looks perfect.
But still, as soon as I install any newer driver...black screen with the Weak or no signal message.
If you have any other suggestions or would like me to try any debug stuff, I am happy to experiment. I am a software engineer of 20+ years and quite technically competent so I should be able to figure things out without a lot of handholding.
Thanks again!

This ultra-nourishing treatment is the secret to healthy, shiny hair. It works to soothe, hydrate and Read More...
I just finished a bottle of this and it is a god send. My fine 3b hair has never looked or felt so amazing. It reduces the frizz dramatically and for the first time I'm able to do wash and go with just my Eden bodyworks leave in, no mousse/gel. So far I've found it works best with the shampoo and conditioner. However I also had good results when I used it on dry hair before shampooing with Palmers coconut oil shampoo/ conditioner.
This product is the business. I have 3b fine thin colored hair. This made my curls come alive again. Thinking about hoarding several bottles. I wash my hair in sheamoisture intensive moisture shampoo then let this sit in my hair for 40 minutes in a baggy cap then rinse. My curls are in love. So many compliments.
Wonderful as an overnight treatment or 45 minute pre-treatment. My hair was smooth and easy to finger comb after shampooing/cowash (used it twice). I also wish this came in a 12 or 13 oz bottle, but then the price would be ridiculous!
Thank you Shea Moisture, Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair Hair & Scalp Weekly Therapy…this is what I needed in my life…yaaassss! This is now my personal favorite product from the line. Coming to the end of my second week of rocking my blow out, I found myself missing my natural curls and decided it was time to change back. This past weekend I was in Target and I couldn't help but to notice the new product line with the lime green label. Of course intrigued by it, I stopped to investigate and decided to give the Scalp Weekly Therapy a try, hoping it would aid in returning my hair to its natural curly style. And it did… I prep my hair the night before; applied the hair therapy according to the directions to my wet hair and let it sit covered for about 40/45minutes. During my rinse out I noticed that it made my hair a lot softer and easier to detangle. I then used my Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Balanced Moisturizing Shampoo and Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioner. My hair was soft, not as frizzy as I'm used to and easier to style. I took full advantage of this time to added some coconut oil to my hair and twist it. The next morning my twist outs were fabulous… healthy, shiny and my twists were well-defined. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, I used more than half due to the length of my hair…Shea Moisture please make this in either the 12 or 13 oz bottle.

2000 Volkswagen Jetta Q&A
2000 Volkswagen Jetta Question: overheating
Changed radiator and fan motor. Now when I have the expansion tank cap off of the car or loose, the temp will stay at 190 degrees. When i put the cap back on tight the temp jumps to the red. I also have a new cap. I have flushed the cooling system with water and replaced the thermostat as well. Also, I have replaced about all of the little plastic pieces along the way. It doesnt seem to be leaking just overheating. The lower radiator hose or one of the heater core hoses really never gets hot like the others. keep in mind when i flushed i took every hose off one by one and water seemed to flow though all of them fine. Then through the entire system as well. Any bright ideas? - jgossett
Answer 1
Possibly a Water Pump impeller that is worn and not circulating the water. When you changed your Thermostat, did you follow the correct Cooling system decavitation procedures? VWs are notorious for getting are air bubbles that prevent the coolant from circulating properly, especially after ANY cooling system work. I have SEEN engines over heat and melt the head on VWs all because of an Air Bubble after a Thermostat replacement. Good Luck! - dandd

8 Films to Die For.... (HorrorFest)
I was basically wondering if anyone saw any of the 8 Films to Die For over the weekend? If you have can you give a review/ Critique on the movie. I happened to see a film called Penny Dreadfull. Heres my review.
Penny Dreadfull is your classic "build-up suspense that leads to nothing" type of movie. The movie begins where Penny an Amaxaphobic decides to take a ride with her therapist to try and overcome her fear of riding a car. About 5 minutes into the movie it flashes to a horrorific scene where Penny is remembering the incident which ultimately causes her Amaxaphobia. After that the movie goes right into Autopilot and into the basic plot of the two riders getting side tracked and stuck in the woods with a killer on the loose.
Penny soon finds herself in her worst case scenerio. Here is where the director and cinematographer try to draw you into the car and make u see what penny feels being an Amaxaphobic and that is where the movie stays. It does not try and reach past the intense fear a person with a phobia can have. The killer running around outside slaughtering people is only second to Penny's fear of being in a car. As a matter of a fact the Killer is really an awefull looking person with bad teeth and horrible sense of style (yes, thats how bland he or she was) .
Penny Dreadfull plays on a persons paranoia and tries to emulate some of those classic suspense films where you have all that build up with no gratification in the end.
If you want to watch a movie that is going to speed up your heart rate, not scare you, and has one of the most abrupt endings ever watch Penny Dreadfull... If not rent the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.Mainloop- man i must be dyslexic.. cuz i thought you asked how many people are on lsd

actually i did.. i watched all three fims played on saturday. the best [of all 8 if you ask me] was The Gravedancers. the film was actually really creepy until the last 5 minutes when it went just plain retarded and turned into a cartoon with over the top cheesy sfx.
penny dreadfull was just lame. and you pretty much nailed it in your review, but i would add that it was very very boring.
the abandoned had a promising start, then it went dead.. then it kinda twitched for a little excitement then it really died... then it was over.
1 out of 3 propmted me to skip out on any of the sunday showings.. but overall id have to say i was severely disappointed with the '8 Films To Die For' because they really werent very exciting or scary at all. what a waste. hopefully the next round will be better.. - JAG

yeah.. i kinda got the impression that they basically were going to bank on the hype... The Hamiltons was probably going to be the most disturbing being that it was about a family of cannibals right? Dark Ride looked good... doubt it was though.. I'll just wait for the dvds to come out..

yeah ill catch the rest on dvd. most of those really didnt look s very appealing.. and i dunno where the hell 'too scary for ratings' ever came into the situation as was advertised on the commercials??? nearly all seemed very independent film-style so i guess they couldnt get distribution from a big studio, they all kinda banded together and made a mini-fest for themselves. gotta give 'em props for that at least.. - JAG

I was going to go, but they wanted full admission price(for each movie) for what I had heard was just a film fest of "straight to DVD" quality horror movies. Is that how it was for you guys too?
I did want to go on sunday and see 'The Hamiltons' and 'Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horrors', though. Guess I just didn't get around to it. Anyone see those?

Project-Based Learning: What Businesses Can Do
Determine what support you can offer
Expertise? Materials? Classroom volunteer time? Funding? Because students are involved in real-world projects, local companies have much to offer in terms of support.
Use the bully pulpit
The more schools and policy makers know that business supports project-based learning and that it fits into corporate America's ideas for what it needs from its workforce, the more they will be willing to investigate its potential.
Create partnerships
Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network is an excellent example of how schools and business can work together to improve student learning -- and ultimately create a well-qualified workforce.
Buck Institute of Education. This Web site offers a comprehensive primer on project-based learning and includes research, project examples, and professional development listservs.
Engaging Children's Minds: The Project Approach. This book by Professors Sylvia Chard and Lilian Katz, first published in 1989 and revised in 2000, provides an introduction to the project approach to learning.
Global SchoolNet Foundation Project Registry. Created for teachers, this Web site contains worldwide projects using technology from classroom teachers and organizations such as NASA, iEARN, and GLOBE. The projects can be sorted by age level, subject, and project start date.
Integrating Computer Technology Into the Classroom. Authors Gary Morrison and Deborah Lowther advocate a technology-rich, project approach to teaching and learning. Their book outlines ways teachers can go beyond just the computer for drill and practice exercises.

A large palette knife painting of my back yard trees in their autumn glory. The painting was originally going to be named "Looking up", but half way through painting it, I started getting frustrated. My husband, trying to help, asked me what I was trying to achieve with the painting. I snapped at him, "Redemption! I'm embarrassed by my lack of skill, by my big paintings that turn out so different than what I initially intend. I want redemption!" But as soon as these words came out of my mouth, I was given my focus. I stopped trying to render every tiny leaf, I stopped worrying about what others would think, and I started thinking of the fall, the trees, and the underlying sign that was put there just for me to find.

Cooking For Your Mum/Mother-in-Law This Sunday? The Chiappas Cook An Easy But Impressive Mother's Day Showstopper
Dakota Fanning in Elie Saab at 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2' film premiere, Los Angeles - November 2012
Dakota Fanning is never far from our screens or our style radar these days. Starting her career at the tender age of seven, the actress has had more years in the lime-light than we have had Pret A Manger lunches. We've seen her transform from the cutie tween who won our hearts in War Of The Worlds to a Hollywood heavyweight who graces red carpets around the world wearing top-notch designers from Valentino to Marchesa and Marc Jacobs.
Back in 2011, it was clear that Dakota had an extreme fondess for nude baby doll dresses. We noticed a pattern to the actress' red carpet wardrobe that involved cute, Tinkerbell-esque frocks worn with her straight blonde hair in a centre parting. A constant supply was supplied by the likes of Elie Saab, but with a young, hipster sister hot on her (high) heels, it was time for Dakota to leave Rutsville behind.
Dakota has since become a front row regular, rocking up at New York Fashion Week shows with a more mature style and arrived at the 2013 CFDA Awards with none other than Michelle Obama's favourite designer, Jason Wu.
She's often seen as a double act with her (arguably more stylish) little sister Elle Fanning and we're pleased to hear that they have the same sisterly spats as the rest of us. Dakota has opened up about how proud she is of Fanning Junior and her head-turning fashion choices. 'She's very uninhibited and will try pretty much anything,' she said. 'Even the way she dresses— she dresses totally for herself'. And it seems they've been sharing fashion tips as the siblings were spotted in South Korea wearing matching kitten ear hats. Totes adorbs!
Dakota is no stranger to stirring up a frenzy. Remember when she was the face of Marc Jacob's perfume Oh Lola? The position in which the star was posed was deemed too suggestive for a 17 year old girl. The ad was quickly scraped. At least Dakota and good friend Mr Jacobs were able to laugh the whole thing off afterwards.

Moorpark to hold street fair, parade
An old-fashioned street fair and community parade will be the highlights of Moorpark Country Days on Saturday.
"The community really responds to Country Days and fills the street," said Linda McCarthy, an event committee member and chairwoman of the board of the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce.
"It is said of Moorpark that it is just like Mayberry," McCarthy said.
New offerings this year will include horses in the parade, which will start at 10:30 a.m., and a beer garden open from noon to 3 p.m. to those 21 and older.
"We start with a parade that is just filled with all things Moorpark, like kids, schools, churches, city officials and businesses," McCarthy said. "Afterward, there's eating and shopping and free entertainment until 3 p.m."
Live entertainment will feature Latin fusion by the Freddie Lopez Band, country-western music by Country Starr and rock by Midnight Train.
"The High Street Arts Center will have a full day of various entertainment going on as well," McCarthy said. "There's plenty of kids activities, too, for free or low-cost."
At least 4,000 people are expected at the event on High Street in downtown Moorpark.
"It's an event designed to get the community together," said Barbara Orechoff, a chamber board member. "We want people to come and hang out and get to know the businesses, and the parade is going to be a lot of fun."
The event is the largest annual fundraiser for the chamber, McCarthy said.
"Moorpark Country Days helps us run our programs that strengthen our local economy, promote the community, provide networking opportunities and represent business to government," she said.

Adelino "Dinho" Ramos, the president of the Movimento Camponeses Corumbiara e da Associação dos Camponeses do Amazonas, a small farmers association, was gunned down front of his family Friday morning in Rondônia. Brazil's Special Secretariat for Human Rights, an office of the president, said it was unclear who killed Ramos, who had received death threats from loggers.
Green groups to Japan: don't buy illegally logged wood from Indonesia to aid reconstruction
(05/26/2011) Following Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami, it needs to rebuild and do so the battered nation has already turned to a neighbor, Indonesia, for timber. However, the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Indonesian NGO, Telapak, warn that much of the timber that reaches Japan's shores from Indonesia could be illegally logged from rainforests, unless Japan pledges to only purchase legally-certified wood under Indonesia's new assurance system.
Shipping firm pledges to disconnect itself from rainforest destruction
(05/25/2011) The Danish shipping giant Maersk pledged this week to stop purchasing containers with floors made from uncertified tropical hardwood, reports Deutsche Welle press. In an effort to reduce illegal logging and combat climate change, the company will be turning to recycled plastic, bamboo, and tropical wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for its flooring. The Copenhagen-based firm is the first cargo company to transition to 'green containers' as part of a sustainable business strategy.
Killing in the name of deforestation: Amazon activist and wife assassinated
(05/24/2011) José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife, Maria do Espírito Santo da Silva, were gunned down last night in an ambush near their home in the Brazilian state of Pará. Da Silva was known as a community leader and an outspoken critic of deforestation in the region. Police believe the da Silvas were killed by hired assassins because both victims had an ear cut off, which is a common token for hired gunmen to prove their victims had been slain, according to local police investigator, Marcos Augusto Cruz, who spoke to Al Jazeera. Suspicion immediately fell on illegal loggers linked to the charcoal trade that supplies pig iron smelters in the region.

Distressed Place and Faded Grace in North Sulawesi
(05/10/2011) The Nantu Wildlife Reserve is located in northern Sulawesi's Minehasa Peninsula, in Gorontalo Province. Sulawesi is among the largest of Indonesia's some seventeen thousand islands. Its shape is bizarre: a sinuous sprawling monkey, with lavish tail, poised to leap the straits of Makassar. Sulawesi lies to the north of Bali and Lombok and to the east of Borneo. Alfred Russell Wallace, the nineteenth century English explorer and natural scientist of broad expertise, spent a lot of time in Sulawesi's northern peninsula, casting his curiosity and observation with such singular acuity that his mind apprehended "Darwin's theory of evolution" independently from and possibly before Darwin. His work described the zone of transition between the Asian and Australian zoographic regions and was so accurate and thorough in its logic that today, some one-hundred and fifty years later, the zone is named Wallacea.
Liberia fights illegal logging through agreement with EU
(05/10/2011) The tiny West African nation of Liberia (about the size of the US state of Virginia) is the most recent country to work with the European Union (EU) on ending the illegal logging trade.

Chainsaw Milling: Domestic Unregulated Deforestation Agents or Local Entrepreneurs?
(05/10/2011) Chainsaw milling: supplier to local markets, provides a much needed insight into the generally unregulated on-site conversion of logs into lumber using chainsaws for tropical in-country domestic markets. Tropical forest chainsaw milling juxtaposes local economic benefit with lack, unregulated oversight.
Indonesia signs agreement with EU to end the sale of illegally logged wood
(05/04/2011) The EU and Indonesia today signed an agreement in Jakarta that aims to keep illegally logged wood from reaching the European market. This is the first Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) signed by an Asian nation with the EU and is seen as a considerable step forward on the fight against the illegal logging trade worldwide.

Mexican environmental activist shot dead

Logging in the region is primarily linked to fields of poppies for the illegal drug trade.
Indonesia and the EU reach agreement on illegal wood trade
(04/17/2011) A new agreement will work to keep illegal wood from Indonesia out of European Union markets. The Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) will force Indonesia to only ship wood to the EU that has been approved as legal by a national authority, while EU customs workers are set to send any unapproved wood back to Indonesia. The VPA is a step forward in tackling the illegal timber market in Indonesia that is estimated to be worth $1 billion and has been responsible, in part, for leveling rainforests across the Indonesia islands.
Pro-deforestation group calls for weakening of U.S. law against illegal logging
(04/14/2011) A group that lobbies on behalf of forestry conglomerates in Indonesia and Malaysia is calling on the U.S. to roll back legislation intended to fight illegal logging. World Growth International, a Washington D.C.-based group that portrays itself as a humanitarian organization, yet consistently pushes policies that favor industrial forestry interests over those of rural communities, has submitted formal comments to the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS) review of the implementation of the revised Lacey Act provisions that prohibit trade in illegally logged wood products, including timber and paper.
Photos: Visiting Gunung Palung in Indonesian Borneo
(03/30/2011) A description of mongabay.com's Rhett Butler's recent visit to Gunung Palung National Park in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. In my travels in Kalimantan, the forest of Gunung Palung around Cabang Panti ranks among the best. Within 24 hours of arriving I had already seen wild orangutans, red leaf monkeys, gibbons, bearded pigs, a variety of lizards and frogs, a cobra (a little too close for comfort), and an innumerable diversity of insects.
Expedition granted?: Indonesia's 'paper parks' targeted in National Geographic contest
(03/21/2011) Twenty-five year old Trevor Frost wants to save parks in Indonesia under attack by illegal logging, mining, and poaching. A lack of infrastructure, support, and funds has left many protected areas around the world to be dubbed 'paper parks', protected on paper, but not in reality. Frost, who is currently running in National Geographic's contest Expedition Granted, hopes to study the problem in Sumatra—among the world's most imperiled forests and wildlife—and show the world what we are losing even in National Parks.
Pulp and paper firms urged to save 1.2M ha of forest slated for clearing in Indonesia
(03/17/2011) Indonesian environmental groups launched a urgent plea urging the country's two largest pulp and paper companies not to clear 800,000 hectares of forest and peatland in their concessions in Sumatra. Eyes on the Forest, a coalition of Indonesian NGOs, released maps showing that Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) and Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL) control blocks of land representing 31 percent of the remaining forest in the province of Riau, one of Sumatra's most forested provinces. Much of the forest lies on deep peat, which releases large of amount of carbon when drained and cleared for timber plantations.
Congo legalizes 15 logging concessions, prompting concern that moratorium will be lifted next
(03/13/2011) The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has legalized 15 logging concessions that were previously listed as illegal under an effort to clean up the industry of widespread corruption. The environmental group, Greenpeace, fears that the move precedes an announcement to lift the DRC's moratorium on granting any new logging concessions, which would open the Congo Basin to widespread logging.
Report: corruption in Sarawak led to widespread deforestation, violations of indigenous rights
(03/10/2011) At the end of this month it will be 30 years since Abdul Taib Mahmud came to power in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Environmentalists are using the occasion, along with new revelations, to highlight corruption and nepotism they say have characterized his regime. Chief Minister Taib and his decades-long administration are no strangers to such allegations, but a new report from the indigenous-rights group Bruno Manser Fund (BMF)—amid criticism from independent media sources, such as Sarawak Report and Radio Free Sarawak—are adding fuel to the fire. Most recently, the report describes in great detail how the tropical timber trade in Sarawak has undercut indigenous groups while toppling some of the world's greatest rainforests, all at the expense of the Sarawak people.
Major palm oil companies failed to secure proper permits in Indonesian Borneo
(02/23/2011) Some of Indonesia's biggest and most powerful palm oil companies appear to have failed to initially secure the proper permits to convert rainforests to oil palm plantations in Central Kalimantan, reports Greenomics, an Indonesian activist group.
Rehabilitated orangutans need guards in Borneo, says activist
(02/19/2011) 1,200 orangutans set for reintroduction into the wild in Indonesian Borneo will be immediately at risk from poaching and illegal logging, warned an orangutan welfare group.
Environmental groups deny 'conspiracy' claims by Madagascar's acting leader
(02/03/2011) Two environmental groups investigating the illegal rosewood trade flatly rejected claims by Madagascar's acting president that they are involved in a campaign to undermine his rule. Andry Rajoelina, the former mayor of the capital city of Antananarivo who assumed power following civil strife in March 2009, claimed last month in an interview with Revue de l'océan Indien that the London-based Global Witness and the Washington D.C.-based Environmental Investigation Agency were attempting to sully his image through their undercover investigation into the rosewood trade. The groups found evidence suggesting that Rajoelina was involved in rosewood trafficking. The evidence included video footage of Chinese rosewood traders claiming to deal directly with Rajoelina.
Burning up biodiversity: forest fires increase in Madagascar
(01/10/2011) The number of fires burning in and around forests in the northeastern part of Madagascar increased during the 2010 burning season relative the the year before, according to analysis of NASA data by WildMadagascar.org / Mongabay.com. The rise in burning corresponds to an especially dry year and continued illegal logging of the region's biologically-rich rainforests.
Lemur poaching continues in Madagascar [warning: graphic pictures]
(01/03/2011) A lemur poacher was intercepted with 32 dead lemurs on New Year's Eve in Madagascar's northeastern town of Vohemar, suggesting that killing of lemurs for the commercial bushmeat trade continues on the island nation, reports Fanamby, a Madagascar-based conservation group.
Satellite data reveals fires in region plagued by illegal logging in Madagascar
(12/27/2010) New satellite data reveals active burning in Sava, a region in Madagascar that has been ravaged by illegal logging for rosewood and other valuable rainforest timber.
Top 10 Environmental Stories of 2010
(12/20/2010) Below is a quick review of some of the biggest environmental stories of 2010: Climate change rears it ugly head; Oil spill in the Gulf; Agreement to save global biodiversity; Illegal logging crisis in Madagascar; REDD kicks off in Indonesia; Brazil deforestation falls to its lowest level; Hungary's red sludge; Nestle caves to social media activists; New mammals galore' and Global climate framework back on the table?
Australia cracks down on illegal timber
(12/16/2010) The Australian government has announced the creation of new legislation which will put further restrictions on the import of foreign wood products in effort to halt the flow of illegally logged timber. Taking effect next year, the laws will require importers to disclose the sources of all timber products, even paper.
Saving Sulawesi's 'pig-deer', the babirusa
(12/06/2010) The babirusa of Sulawesi may be one of the world's oddest looking—and acting—mammals. Literally meaning 'pig-deer' the babirusa, which includes four species, belongs to its own genus 'Babyrousa' in the pig family. Males are especially unique, sporting four tusks, two of which appear to come right out of the animal's snout. To make it to the top of the babirusa hierarchy, males will combat each other in an activity dubbed 'boxing' where they will rear up on their hind legs and club at each other. Despite their many oddities, the babriusa were not formally studied until the late 1980s when Dr. Lynn Clayton spent four years in Sulawesi's forest observing them.
Good stewards of forests at home outsource deforestation abroad
(11/24/2010) As more nations adopt better laws and policies to save and restore forests at home, they may, in fact, be outsourcing deforestation to other parts of the world, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Looking at six developing nations where forests are recovering—instead of receding—the study found only one of them did not outsource deforestation to meet local demand for wood-products and food, a process known as 'leakage'.
Extensive logging, lemur hunting in Madagascar national park despite moratorium
(11/16/2010) A biological survey in Northeastern Madagascar has turned up evidence of extensive logging in Masoala National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its biologically-rich rainforest. The findings suggest that harvesting of valuable hardwoods—including rosewood, ebony, and palissander—continues despite an official ban on the logging and export of timber.
Local efforts block attempt to ship illegal rosewood from Madagascar
(11/10/2010) Authorities in Madagascar successfully blocked an attempt to ship illegally logged rosewood from the port of Vohemar over the weekend, according to local reports. The incident, while isolated, suggests citizens, the Waters and Forests Administration, local media, and shipping companies are having an impact on slowing the rosewood trade that has devastated Madagascar's rainforest parks, wildlife, and rural communities.
Flight of the Monarchs Reveals Environmental Connections across a Continent
(11/08/2010) As autumn settles across North America, one hallmark of the season is the gentle southward flight of the Monarch Butterflies as they migrate towards the forests that shelter their species during the winter months. Unfortunately, as with other forests across the planet, the Monarch's "over- wintering grounds" in Mexico are suffering from increased human pressures. An innovative conservation group called the ECOLIFE Foundation has stepped up to help safeguard the Monarch's winter forests, and in the process discovered that addressing the Monarch's plight came only after uncovering connections that bind us all. The following article is an interview with Bill Toone, the Executive Director of ECOLIFE.
Madagascar's president linked to illegal logging (video)
(11/05/2010) Video released by the Environmental Investigation Agency reveals Chinese rosewood traders have direct links to Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina, who seized power during a March 2009 military coup.
Illegal logging rampant in Vietnam
(11/01/2010) Illegal logging is rampant in Vietnam, according to a new report from the the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's General Forestry Department.
Picture: new monkey discovered in Myanmar
(10/26/2010) Hunters' reports have led scientists to discover a new species of monkey in the northern forests of Myanmar. Discovered by biologists from the Myanmar Biodiversity and Nature Conservation Association with support from primatologists with Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and the People Resources and Biodiversity Foundation, the strange looking primate is a member of the snub-nosed monkey family, adding a fifth member to this unmistakably odd-looking group of Asian primates. However, the species survives in only a small single population, threatened by Chinese logging and hunting.
The $1M bed: why Madagascar's rainforests are being destroyed
(10/26/2010) Consumer demand for rosewood furniture and musical instruments is driving illegal logging in Madagascar's national parks, endangering wildlife and undermining local community livelihoods, according to a new report from the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Global Witness. The report, based on more than a year of investigations, shows that Madagascar's valuable hardwoods—including ebony, pallisander, and rosewood—are being illegally harvested from rainforest parks and trafficked to Asia, Europe, and the United States. The vast majority of timber however ends up in China, where it is converted into luxury furniture.
Forest logging zones in Malaysia to be converted for oil palm
(10/25/2010) The government of Terengganu, a state in peninsular Malaysia, will clear forests along its border to establish oil palm plantations, reports Malaysian state media.
The ultimate bike trip: the Amazon rainforest
(10/17/2010) Like all commercial roads through rainforests, the 5,300 kilometer long Rodovia Transamazonica (in English, the Trans-Amazonia), brought two things: people and environmental destruction. Opening once-remote areas of the Amazon to both legal and illegal development, farmers, loggers, and miners cut swathes into the forest now easily visible from satellite. But the road has also brought little prosperity: many who live there are far from infrastructure and eek out an impoverished existence in a harsh lonely wilderness. This is not a place even the most adventurous travelers go, yet Doug Gunzelmann not only traveled the entirety of the Transamazonica in 2009, he cycled it. A self-described adventurer, Gunzelmann chose to bike the Transamazonica as a way to test his endurance on a road which only a few before have completed. But Gunzelmann wasn't just out for adrenaline-rushes, he was also deeply interested in the environmental issues related to the Transamazonica. What he found was a story without villains, but only humans—and the Amazon itself—trying to survive in a complex, confusing world.
Satellites show fragmented rainforests significantly drier than intact forest
(10/13/2010) A new study in Biological Conservation has shown that edge forests and forest patches are more vulnerable to burning because they are drier than intact forests. Using eight years of satellite imagery over East Amazonia, the researchers found that desiccation (extreme dryness) penetrated anywhere from 1 to 3 kilometers into forests depending on the level of fragmentation.
Brazil to auction off large blocks of Amazon rainforest for logging
(10/12/2010) Brazil will auction large blocks of the Amazon rainforest to private timber companies as part of an effort to reduce demand for illegal logging, reports Reuters. The government will grant 1 million hectares (2.5 million acres) of logging concessions by the end of the year, according to Antonio Carlos Hummel, head of Brazil's National Forestry Service. Within four to five years, 11 million hectares will be auctioned.
The Nestlé example: how responsible companies could end deforestation
(10/06/2010) The NGO, The Forest Trust (TFT), made international headlines this year after food giant Nestlé chose them to monitor their sustainability efforts. Nestlé's move followed a Greenpeace campaign that blew-up into a blistering free-for-all on social media sites. For months Nestle was dogged online not just for sourcing palm oil connected to deforestation in Southeast Asia—the focus of Greenpeace's campaign—but for a litany of perceived social and environmental abuses and Nestlé's reactions, which veered from draconian to clumsy to stonily silent. The announcement on May 17th that Nestlé was bending to demands to rid its products of deforestation quickly quelled the storm. Behind the scenes, Nestlé and TFT had been meeting for a number of weeks before the partnership was made official. But can TFT ensure consumers that Nestlé is truly moving forward on cutting deforestation from all of its products?
1/3 of Peru's forest concessions under investigation
(10/04/2010) More than one third of forest concessions in Peru are under investigation for violations of regulations, reports the International Tropical Timber Organization in its bimonthly update.
Fighting poachers, going undercover, saving wildlife: all in a day's work for Arief Rubianto
(09/29/2010) Arief Rubianto, the head of an anti-poaching squad on the Indonesian island of Sumatra best describes his daily life in this way: "like mission impossible". Don't believe me? Rubianto has fought with illegal loggers, exchanged gunfire with poachers, survived four days without food in the jungle, and even gone undercover—posing as a buyer of illegal wildlife products—to infiltrate a poaching operation. While many conservationists work from offices—sometimes thousands of miles away from the area they are striving to protect—Rubianto works on the ground (in the jungle, in flood rains, on rock faces, on unpredictable seas, and at all hours of the day), often risking his own life to save the incredibly unique and highly imperiled wildlife of Sumatra.
Asia Pulp & Paper fumbles response to deforestation allegations by Greenpeace
(09/28/2010) A new audit that seems to exonerate Asia Pulp & Paper from damaging logging practices in Indonesia was in fact conducted by the same people that are running its PR efforts, raising questions about the much maligned company's commitment to cleaning up its operations. The audit slams Greenpeace, the activist group that accused Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) of illegal and destructive logging in Sumatra in its July 2010 report, How Sinar Mas is Pulping the Planet. It runs through each of the claims laid out in the Greenpeace report, arguing some are speculative or improperly cited. But the audit doesn't actually deny that APP is clearing forests and peatlands for pulp plantations. In fact, the audit effectively confirms that the company is indeed engaged in conversion of 'deep' peat areas, but argues that this activity isn't illegal under Indonesian law.

The Flambards Experience is an amusement park on the southern outskirts of the town of Helston in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It was founded in 1976 as the 'Cornwall Aircraft Park' by Douglas Kingsford Hale MBE.
Flambards first opened in 1976 under the name of 'Cornwall Aircraft Park'. Owned by Douglas Kingsford Hale MBE, the park slowly built up an array of aircraft models and exhibitions.
Over time, the park grew and soon had its fair share of rides along with the new name of 'The Flambards Experience'. Past rides included the Dragon Coaster, the Canyon River Log Flume, Paddle Boats and the hyperglide, all of which only one is still operating.
For the 2007 season, three rides were added: The Rocking Tug, The Carousel, and The Space Shuttle.
For the 2008 season the Cornish Mine Train ride was added in addition to the introduction of the War of the Worlds paintball game. 2009 saw no major additions to the park, however the field housing the helipad was sold late in the season. The museum exhibitions are open year-round, but the rides and play areas are open seasonally.
In 2010, the Skyraker 001 opened and claimed the title of the UK's first twisting drop tower. The ride gained much popularity and is a staple attraction in the park, being seen from all around.
On 6 December 2013 the park was bought by Livingston Leisure Ltd.[1]
Livingstone Leisure have invested in the Park and in 2015 have opened a new ride 'Sky Swinger' and are continuing to make improvements to the Park which will have been open for 40 years in 2016.

Ferdi's Funland[edit]
Aside from the bigger rides, an area at Flambards is devoted just for families with young guests. There are 6 kiddie rides. There are also multiple play areas indoors and out nearby.
- Human Cannonball – As you spin, control your height as you fly in 4 person capsules.
- Pirate Ship – A miniature version of the swinging ship.
- Tea Cups – A miniature version of a tea cups ride.
- Animal Express – Travel through a gnome's garden in animal themed cars.
- Space Shuttle – Control your capsule and you travel up and down the tower.
- The Cornish Children's Eye – A miniature version of a classic ferris wheel.
- The Victorian Village Experience – The Victorian Village was created of just three rooms in 1979 by Mrs. Audrey Kingsford – Hale who wanted to portray a life size recreation of the fascinating Victorian period. Through the years the village has grown to complement some 50 shops, cottages and businesses together with all the attendant trades necessary for Victorian Village life including the butcher's shop, the bakery, the blacksmiths and the sweet shop. The streets are cobbled with granite setts, salvaged from the old streets of Bath in the 1960s, while the wood-block floor of the school room had already felt the tread and scuffs of thousands of clogs and hob-nailed boots before being salvaged from the demolition of a Victorian school in the North of the United Kingdom and transported to Flambards.
The attention to detail is incredible • 277 cakes and buns were baked for the bakers shop which were then preserved in epoxy resin. • There are over 75 stuffed animals and birds in the village • All the linen on display in the Village is removed, hand-washed, starched and ironed every winter!
- The Britain in the Blitz Experience – The Flambards Britain in the Blitz, was the first exhibition of its kind in the UK and was opened in 1984 by Dame Vera Lynn who was heard to say "Yes! This is exactly how it was," whilst wandering through the blitzed street. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people who lived through those perilous years from 1939-1945 have echoed Dame Vera Lynn's words. The sights, the sounds and the smells evoke so many memories. Younger people, seeing the devastation and deprivation for the first time, simply marvel that their parents or grandparents coped with the grim reality of war-time day to day living.
Despite the damage it's business as usual in the shops and pub. It's dusk and the streets are dark. Around you families are settling down for the night in the certain knowledge that within a few hours the air raid sirens will sound and the bombing will start. Look into the Anderson Shelter as a mother tucks up her children – her husband is away at the front line. Will her house survive the night? Experience the suspense of the Doodlebug bomb as its engine cuts out and it glides towards its target.
Everything possible has been done to match the realism of a World War 2 blitzed street but for the sake of safety and the fact that the presentation would be impossible in complete darkness, a little subdued lighting has been sanctioned. This genuine re-creation of the blitzed streets of WW2 is sure to give you a real insight into the real hardship and struggle in such tough and difficult times.
- The War Gallery – The War Gallery is closely linked with the Britain In The Blitz exhibition, and is a respectful tribute to all of the men and women of Great Britain and The Commonwealth who served in World Wars 1 and 2.
The War Gallery takes a look at the hardships that all of the men, women and children endured through the toughest of times when life had to go on. Meals had to be made from meagre ingredients, clothes had to be mended and made to last as long as possible and letters had to be written to loved ones far away with no guarantee that the letter would ever reach its intended destination.
- Memory Lane – Charts a century of Wedding Gowns from Mid Victorian to the 1970s including a War Time dress made from a parachute. The stitch marks of the seams show that it was re-fitted and worn by several brides. The selection of photographs also charts weddings from the late Victorian period, giving a fascinating glimpse into what no doubt was 'the happiest day of their life'
- The Aviation Experience - A Century of Pioneering Flight is an inter-active exhibition of some remarkable highlights in aviation history throughout the last Century. It features three widely varying achievements, each of them momentous.
Richard Pearse, the inventive son of Cornish parents settled in New Zealand, is believed by many to have made the first sustained powered flight in 1902. A year ahead of the American Wright Brothers, who had the foresight to have their attempt officially recorded.
In 1929, Charles Kingsford Smith piloted the formidable earth-shrinking flight between Australia and England. News of his safe arrival at his destination was flashed across an anxious and waiting world and ecstatic supporters danced in the streets. This wonderful exhibition is a timely reminder that 2009 marked the 80th anniversary of that flight and pays tribute to Charles Kingsford Smith and his navigator Charles Ulm and to the 'Southern Cross', 'Smithy's' beloved aeroplane that flew them safely half-way round the world.
The third accolade honours the iconic record- breaking Concorde. Built partly in England, partly in France, it was the focus of great pride to both nations and the envy of the rest of the world. Flambards is proud to present the full-scale flight deck of Concorde, built by BAC for defining and confirming the ultimate positioning of the highly complex instrumentation, plus flightcrew and passenger seating. It was transported from BAC, Bristol, direct to its permanent home at Flambards. It is 'peopled' and equipped with original artefacts and is a must see when visiting Flambards.
- Hands on Science Laser Maze, Disorientation Tunnel, Bendy Mirrors and much more offering fun and fascination!
- Operation Sealion – Operation Sealion is a fascinating insight into the German intelligence gathering in preparation for the invasion, in England. The name 'sealion' was the code name chosen by Hitler for his long-standing plans for Nazi invasion of England in World War 2.
This rare dossier which emerged in 2010 after 70 years of obscurity reveals Hitler's plans to invade with 6 divisions moving through Kent via Folkestone and Ramsgate. Other units would invade Sussex and then push through Brighton and the Isle of Wight, and Dorset via Lynne Bay. It was undoubtedly to be the first phase of the total occupation and domination of the British Isles. Find out why this plan did not succeed!
- William White's Chemist Time Capsule The famous chemist's shop alone, is worth a visit. See and listen to the story of apothecary William White's lost time capsule. Discovered after being locked away and forgotten since 1909 in South Petherton, Somerset, the complete shop was purchased at auction by Flambards and re-assembled exactly as found some 70 years later, only without the poisons and more dangerous compounds confiscated by the Home Office.
Upon William White's death the apothecary's shop was sealed as his son Edward was not qualified to dispense medicines. The dispensary, complete with its chemicals and equipment can be seen in the condition in which it was discovered. With its old medicines, cures, jars and balances it gives a unique glimpse into the past…
The detail, research and settings are outstanding, deserving the nationally acclaimed awards and accolades gained over the years. Finding the words to adequately convey the atmosphere and total charm of Flambards Victorian Village is a challenge. It is unique and has to be experienced to be believed!
Every item in the shop was numbered and charted so that when it was re-assembled at Flambards – everything was exactly the same as the original shop.

Where can I get a good painter 8 tutorial?
I've been trying to work with Painter 8 (I'm a photoshop guy) and I'm finding it difficult to get used to. I'd like some tutorials, but NOT necessarily on how to use Painter, but rather the process one goes through to create a painting.
Here is the piece i attempted:
not too good
I looked at some tutorials here, but there is only 1 or 2 of the type i;m looking for. I want to know the process to achieve a painting, not color theory or pencil sketching or something.
This is the tutorial I really liked:
Here is another tutorial I WISHED would work, but it doesn't... the end result looks really cool though and im looking to see how he made it.
I just want to see more tutorials of this type
Thanks for your help
Cheers :chug:
