" Powdered Pearl Paint Additives "
There's been a little dialogue here recently concerning the use of Pearl Powders in AirBrushing.
I use two sources for my Powdered Pearls,
My first and original source is Pearl-Ex Powders by Jacquard and my other source is PaintWithPearl.com
Here's the Jacquard Pearl-Ex site,
With a list of places around the country to buy the Pearl-Ex Powders,
And PaintWithPearl.com,
Back around 2000 I began showing other scale DieCast Customizers the benefits of House Of Kolor paints.
At that time DieCast Customizing consisted largely of people dipping their HotWheels into Easter Egg Dye.
Nobody else was using Decals or Graphics back then.
HOK has their own line of Powdered Pearls but my needs for painting 1/64 DieCast did not quite require the large size amounts that they offered.
I looked around for other sources and found Pearl-Ex Powders by Jacquard in my local Texas Art Supply Stores could be purchased in small jars for less than $4, about 3/4 dry ounce quantity.
For $4 apiece I have every color they make and some they no longer issue.
Needing only a BB sized portion of Pearl-Ex Powder for my 1/64 scale paintjobs it was evident that these jars would last me years and years.
Pearl-Ex Powders by Jacquard also offer a kit of several colors in small amounts that still would last anyone a very long time.
I prefer to buy individual colors as I need them.
Good Art Supply Stores will carry Pearl-Ex.
I started taking the Pearl-Ex Powders to DieCast Shows and Conventions to introduce them to other Customizers and today, like many of the products I use, they have caught on to enhance the paint on these tiny 3" cars.
Pearl-Ex Powders are colorfast and weather resistant but not UV resistant.
PaintWithPearl Powders however are of automotive quality and are UV resistant.
This slight difference in craft quality and automotive quality Pearl Powders is not much consequence to us airbrushing scale DieCast or Models since our builds do not see extended stays in direct sunlight.
Anything you paint with Pearl Powders, regardless of the brand, needs to be seen in full direct sunlight to appreciate what Pearl Powders do. You will never see the full effect of Pearl Powders unless you view them in bright direct sunlight.
The same Model that looks great displayed indoors becomes an entirely different and sparkling piece when taken outside. The intensity of difference is phenomenal. It actually explodes in bright color.
PaintWithPearl Powders are a bit smaller in size (microns) than Pearl-Ex and come in many different colors.
Either can be shot through a .3 AirBrush needle.
Quantity of powder doubles with PaintWithPearl and so does the price per unit, about $10, but shipping is very cheap, about $3 combined shipping.
The benefits and ways to use Pearl Powders, either of the two brands, are numerous.
Needle sizes as small as .3 will adequately disperse either brand. These are very fine Powders and not Flakes.
I'll list a few random uses and results,
You can mix Pearl Powders into your ColorCoat but they will most often sink below the surface unless used in large ratios to the amount of paint.
The full effects of Pearl Powders are best achieved with the Pearl floating in the Clear or Candy and not just laying on the surface of a ColorCoat.
Pearl Powders, as minute as they are, are actually individual platelets with two sides.
Just like tiny broken pieces of a mirror, but in powdered form.
You always want to use a lighter color of Powdered Pearl than the underlying ColorCoat.
Using a Pearl Powder that contrasts with the underlying color allows the Pearl to peek in and out of the color.
Pink Pearl on top of a Black ColorCoat, Blue ColorCoat or underlying Blue Candy, shifts to Purples and Lavenders.
If you want to use a dark Pearl on top of White or even Yellow you need to test because the Powder might show up as very tiny specs and you don't want that.
But, you can use a Brilliant Gold Pearl Powder over White as I do often, to make your job explode in direct sunlight.
The uses and combination of colors is endless.
Interference Pearls are available from both links listed that give a White background the chameleon effect of shifting from White to Iridescent Pink, Blue, Lavender, Gold, etc.
Using any Pearl Powder on top of a Gloss Black Colorcoat will always give you fantastic color changing effects.
Also check out the Duo Pearls in both Pearl-Ex and PaintWithPearl,
Duo-Green/Yellow, Duo Green/Blue, Duo Red/Blue
These Powdered Pearls are different colors on oppostie sides of the platelet.
They have color shifting qualities built right into them and are just one more way to get out of this world effects for a penny's worth of Pearl.
The amount of Pearl you use can slightly enhance or completely change underlying colors.
You can very nearly create the same color shifting effects of expensive chameleon paints by using contrasting Pearls on top of Candies or in your ClearCoat.
You can simply mix a little Pearl Powder with Reducer alone and dust a Satin effect directly onto a colorcoat.
This method is applied directly on top of a ColorCoat and changes the color dramatically.
You need the thickness, as minimal as it is, of a ClearCoat to allow the Pearl Powder platelets to disperse at different levels within the thin layer of Clear.
This allows the platelets to place themselves at different angles to each other forcing light to bounce around from platelet to platelet.
Picture this, the game Plinko where a ball is dropped down through multiple pegs and bounces all around, up and down, till it hits the bottom, like on The Price Is Right Show.
The ball represents particles of Light and the Pegs are the Powdered Pearl Platelets within the ClearCoat. You get omni-directional reflection of Light, trapped within the Clear, resulting in a burst of electric color.
Again, the amount of Pearl used can slightly enhance or completely change the underlying color.
Here's a Black car with some of my Flame Decals that is ClearCoated using a little Emerald Green Pearl.
The Decals are hardly affected but the Black background suddenly changes completely to an Electric Emerald Green.
Here with the Purple version using Lavender Pearl Powder over a Black background,
And another Emerald Green Convention car I created,
A little Pink Flamingo Pearl in the Clear over Purple,
Shimrin Gold Pearl in Clear over HOK Tangelo Pearl,
You can see how the Pearl show more intense at different light angles,
The same Gold Pearl in Clear over Tangelo Pearl combination showing how the colors shift,
HOK Zenith Gold and Limetime Pearl ClearCoated with a drop or two of Pagan Gold Intensifier and Aztec Gold Pearl Powder,
Silver Competition Stripes and HOK Strato Blue, Cleared with a couple of drops of Oriental Blue Intensifier and Electric Blue Pearl Powder.
So you see, you can use these Pearl Powder Additives in countless ways obtaining an infinite number of color results.
Spray a little Pearl Powder directly onto a colorcoat and change the underlying color dramatically.
Mix it into your layers of Candy and/or Clear and get beautiful subtle or color shifting effects.
Always begin your mix with tiny amounts of Pearl Powder because you can always add more, but to reduce an amount of Pearl in a mixed ClearCoat you will have to dilute it with more Clear.
When the subject of using Pearl Powders in an InterCoat Clear comes up, just remember,
InterCoat Clears are not durable ClearCoats.
They are not meant for build up and should only be applied in very light 2 or 3 layers.
As I mentioned above, if you just want to spray some Pearl directly onto a ColorCoat, you can mix some Pearl in some Reducer and maybe a few drops of InterCoat Clear for Binder and Stick.
InterCoat Clears must be ClearCoated over.
For me, AirBrushing and mixing paint is a very important part of the job. Very enjoyable.
There are so many possible combinations of ColorCoats, Candies and Pearls that an infinite number of totally unique paintjobs can be laid down.
The indoor pics I have shown let you see subtle color shifting effects of this technique, but, taking your finished jobs out into direct sunlight will blow your mind.
You can see more examples of my color shifting Pearl Powders at my sites below,

Other animals, said Loveland, are also sometimes used to aid in therapy for children with special needs. Dogs, cats and even dolphins have been widely reported to aid in improving the quality of life for kids with autism.
"The horse is moving and has a rhythm and is warm and so it often acts as a calming experience for kids," said Loveland. "Some kids with autisms have a lot of difficultly with new things or changes and so often a therapist will use the horse to introduce some of those things."
One of the challenges many children with autism face is the inability to interact socially with other people, an obstacle a relationship with an animal may help overcome, according to Loveland.
"Animals are a lower pressure environment for kids to practice certain types of social skills," she said. "Therapists use the horse as a social object for the child to relate to and to read the signals of the horse."
"No, it's not a cure for autism but it may help a child learn some self-regulation and help them to better accept certain times of stimulation from the environment, resulting in a calmer and less agitated child and hopefully a happier family," said Loveland.
And for the Isaacson's, life is far happier today than it was before Rowan began riding.
Isaacson and his wife founded The New Trails Center that offers homeschooling and equine therapy for kids like Rowan, and the family continues to plan upcoming riding trips for their family.
"Every parent of an autistic child knows they have to go up a few blind alleys before they find what will work for their child," said Isaacson. "No one should be so hamstrung by skepticism that it forces them into an extreme position that they stop following possibilities."
"Rowan was healed of some of the dysfunctions he had and that, for us, was miraculous," he said.
"That made the difference between a horrible life and a life where Rowan's life and ours were in harmony."

Corpus Christi teen Taylor Berry coming home from Houston with new heart
CORPUS CHRISTI - The wait of their lives is over.
After doctors examined Taylor Berry's new donor heart Wednesday and gave the OK, the 15-year-old and his mother plan to return home today to Corpus Christi.
"I am excited," Taylor said. "I'm ready to come home, and I feel like I have more years ahead without having to limit myself as much."
For more than 22 months, the teen and his mom have lived near Texas Children's Hospital in Houston for the former Kaffie Middle School student to be eligible for and receive a second donor heart.
"I have gotten off to a better start than the first time," Taylor said.
Taylor required a heart transplant at age 4. His body tried to reject that heart, requiring repeated hospitalizations and continuing adjustments of anti-rejection drugs.
Ten years later the donor heart failed. It didn't pump properly, it had fistulas from anti-rejection drugs and its climbing pulse risked rupturing the weakened muscle. In January 2010, Taylor and his mother, Tamara, moved to Houston for him to again be on a recipient list. After they arrived, the heart's function declined requiring inpatient care, and in June doctors elevated Taylor to a more immediate transplant need.
Late on July 18, an 11-hour surgery began, and Taylor received a donor heart from a 12-year-old Florida girl who died of an infection. After hours on life support, a monthlong struggle began. Too much chest fluid drainage required a second surgery to seal tissue layers of Taylor's right lung. He was released from inpatient care Aug. 25, and he and his mother returned to their Houston apartment so doctors could monitor Taylor's progress.
"Taylor has had a long journey on his road to a second heart transplant," said Dr. Jeff Dreyer, the hospital's medical director of heart transplantation. "All of his medical care team are pleased that he will soon be living a normal teen life with his family and friends in Corpus."
Taylor's looking forward to his future, he said.
"I'm excited to have a chance to be my old self," Taylor said, "not as limited with physical restrictions. I'm sure I'm going to surf."
Taylor still must limit his contact with people until his immune defenses get stronger, and he will require heart checkups in Houston every three months for a year.
The first plan is reuniting with his sister, Aubrey, 13, who stayed in Corpus Christi with family while Taylor and their mother were in Houston.
"I'm going to give Taylor a big hug," Aubrey said Wednesday. "I'm excited for things to get back to normal."
Normal for her is sometimes tossing stuff into Taylor's room that's not his, she said.
"He messes up my room and then I get in trouble," she said.
Aubrey admits they are older now, and it might be different. Taylor doesn't yet know she has a boyfriend, she said.
"He's going to tease me, but it's OK, as long as he's back," she said.
Taylor will continue home schooling through January, which he has done with his mother in Houston.
"It's almost like we've made a rest stop for two years," Tamara Berry said. "And now we're getting back on the highway of life. Taylor and I both feel very honored to have the community walk on this journey with us."
Taylor's next stop: Richard King High School.
Starting high school is a challenging change for any kid, Taylor said.
"Depending on what my friends are into, I might play soccer or baseball," he said.
Taylor competed in freestyle events and played soccer with Santa Fe Soccer League in grade school. Dreyer said in February that Taylor's good eating habits and athletics probably helped his first donor heart last longer.
Football is his passion, but Taylor's restricted from playing high contact sports.
He and his dad share the passion.
"We're Aggies — we bleed maroon," said Taylor's father, Dale Berry, who runs a home health care business. "I will be glad to have Taylor home for our Saturday college football.
"Thanks to the community for their prayers, support and everything. It's been a long journey."

(AP) -- The first combination pill for the millions of people with the dangerous combination of diabetes and high cholesterol won U.S. approval Friday, offering convenience - and savings - to patients taking multiple pills.

Credit: Steven Robles – SF Giants Rumors Today is the first day of cuts in Spring Training for the San Francisco Giants. They've sent pitchers Fabio Castillo, Edward Concepcion, Justin Fitzgerald, Jose Valdez, Josh Osich, infielder Joe Panik and catcher Andrew Susac to Minor League Camp, says Giants Beat Writer Chris Haft (via Twitter). In another Haft tweet, he says infielder Angel Villalona has been optioned to the San Jose Giants roster (Class A). None of this news should be a surprise to anyone. The team is pretty much set, except for a bullpen arm or two and bench roles. However, I sure would have loved to see Panik, Susac and Villalona get more playing time for the G-men this spring. Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says the Giants seem to be concerned about Sergio Romo's long outing yesterday for Team Mexico. Romo threw 26 pitches and ended up with a blown save. After watching the highlights, I wouldn't blame Romo for the blown save. An average outfielder playi...

If you make it into BC don't miss out on the Cassier Highway, #37...it goes dirrectly north from #16 and ends at the top of BC and from there you are a day's ride from Dawson City.....research the D2D, June 20-21 timespan so to speak where 300plus riders from all over the world merged for a weeks of shooting the breeze and exploring the local scenery. Think the Dempster to the top of Canada....the mnost scenic of the top bucket list destinations in the far north.
Just a thought for you to concider...seeing as you have so much time to ride with. Well worth the ride as they say! Then search out Telegaph Creek, Salmon Glacier, Hyder/Steward bear salmon fishing, late July.
There is so much to see and o in the far north and well worth the time to get there. Once the far north gets under your skin, you can't ignor it......I've been twice now and I live an hour north of Toronto.......so you see, it's not a hop skip and jump for me either.

Big fan of country music, I like to occasionally go to the Round Up Country Western Bar in Davie to play pool and line dance. I used to go to Blue Martini a lot but I now go there on occasions only. I'm also not gonna lie, I like playing video games (not all the time but a little bit), and I like staying home and wathcing tv shows too (south park, csi, criminal minds, vampire diaries, family, american dad, big bang theory, how I met your mother...).

The Magic Valley Experiences Ice Fog and Pogonip
Pogonip is the Shoshone Indian word for frost left behind by Ice Fog, and I think the patterns it creates are beautiful.
Pogonip is the Shoshone Indian word for frost left behind by Ice Fog, and I think the patterns it creates are beautiful.
The polar vortex may be over, but it's only a matter of time before it gets super cold again. The next time it does get frigid, here are some ways to entertain yourself in the cold.
Many Twin Falls residences have been going to Sun Valley to snowboard and ski because Pomerelle has been the only mountain open until last weekend when Magic Mountain opened.
If you do go to Sun Valley to ski beware there have been Avalanche warnings. According to The Times-News, high winds and snowfall over the weekend have created avalanche conditions in the Sun Valley area. The Sawtooth Avalanche Center said high risk is at upper elevations and considerable risk is at middle elevations.
Very windy later today across the Western Magic Valley. There is a Wind Advisory in effect from 11 am this morning to 7 pm this evening (Jan. 13).
Gusty winds will continue through this evening in the Eastern Magic Valley. Starting Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning expect wind to increase dramatically.
We have been pretty lucky so far this winter - since we don't live in the North East and haven't had to deal with a Polar Vortex! We haven't had sub-zero temperatures or even very many days of frosted windows. So how cold is it really in America?
The National Weather Service in Boise has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Magic Valley until 11am Thursday (Jan. 9).
What do you get when you cross boiling hot water, a super soaker and a polar vortex with temperatures at around 40 below? You get this wicked video of a squirt gun shooting vapor.
Careful kids. Don't try this at home
Just how cold is it where we're experiencing the polar vortex? Watch how fast this this water freezes in Chicago and you get a pretty good idea.
Here are some other random facts about just how cold it really is throughout the country
The National Weather Service in Boise has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Magic Valley until 11am Saturday (Dec. 21).
It's cold outside! So cold that most people will do everything in their power to stay inside especially when they wake up to -3 temperatures.
Extreme low temperatures have hit The Magic Valley this morning. Some area school buses were unable to start this morning due to the low temperatures causing some school districts have decided to cancel school this morning.

To be honest, life's pretty good. After 3...
To be honest, life's pretty good. After 3 decades on the planet, I've definitely figured out who I am, am well on the road towards who I want to be and am genuinely excited for what's ahead. I got lucky in being a nerd when I was younger, and all the books, video games and sci-fi movies lead me to a great career in technology. One thing missing is a partner – someone to share the road ahead with. I'm looking for someone who knows who they are and what they want. I've lived the wild life of a DJ, had 48 hour coding sessions, tasted the sweetness of success and the crushing defeat of failure – been around the world, lived in other countries and still spend lots of time behind my Kindle chasing a good story or geeking out at a midnight movie opening. I believe that good manners dictate I hold the door open for people, its my job as a guy to help carry heavy things, assemble Ikea furniture, protect people from menacing insects (through safe relocation if possible) and pay on the first date. All in all, I'm an introvert who knows how to let go and have fun, seeks adventure, believes in the beauty of a spontaneous day and works hard to meet my goals. Hope to hear from you!

Barnsley District General Hospital (BDGH) has introduced a new smart-card authentication network, giving staff secure access to patient records, and, for the first time, e-mail from 300 flat-screen terminals on site.
The cards and screens are part of a £1m five-year deal with private technology firm Azzurri Communications, and replace the old 'green screen' VDUs.
"We have already seen a vast improvement in communication around the hospital and our staff have been able to get up to speed on the new system quickly and easily," says Janet Platt, clinical lead for electronic records development at the hospital.
The cards are similar to the new 'chip and pin' bankcards. The staff members insert their cards into a reader, and type in a PIN code to access the terminal. The terminal runs from a Citrix centralised server, and features Windows XP and Microsoft Office.
Phil Parkinson, corporate solutions director of Azzurri, says that having a centralised server is particularly useful for hospital workers: "If the user gets paged and has to leave urgently, if they withdraw the card, it disconnects the session. Then they can log in at another terminal and pick up where they left off."
"If the card is lost, nobody else can use it without a PIN, and BDGH's IT department can issue a replacement."
Dave Smith, divisional director of Azzurri Communications, believes that the scheme may be the first in the UK: "By increasing access to information, BDGH is helping to make its clinical staff more efficient. This project puts BDGH at the forefront of hospital IT and leading the way in the NPfIT."
BDGH plans to use the scheme as their base to introduce the goals of the NPfIT, and in the future the scheme will be expanded to include access to appointment booking systems and the ability to order prescriptions.
Use of Cards with National Spineunknown 578 weeks ago
I would be interested in how BDGH see these cards working with the national Smart Card for access to the National Spine? Do they envisage using one card or having a separate card for local systems and National Systems?

Bruins recall Svedberg, reigning AHL goalie of the year
Dec 27, 2013, 10:28 AM EDT
The Boston Bruins have recalled goalie Niklas Svedberg from AHL Providence.
Svedberg, 24, is 11-5-3 this year with a 2.91 GAA and .907 save percentage with the baby Bruins. It's unclear at the moment why he was recalled, as all three Boston goalies — Tuukka Rask, Chad Johnson and Svedberg — were on the ice this morning at practice.
Last season, Svedberg won the Baz Bastien Memorial Award as the American League's top netminder, posting 37 wins, a 2.17 GAA and .925 save percentage along with four shutouts.
In doing so, Svedberg became the first rookie to be named top goalie since Jim Carey did it in 1994-95.
Update: Some more info on why Svedberg was recalled…
Claude: "We're going to have a look at Svedberg. Not tonight, maybe tomorrow night? Earned his opportunity, we told him we'd give him that."

Niklas Svedberg will be backing up Tuukka Rask tonight, per Claude Julien #BruinsTalk

- charastein - Dec 27, 2013 at 10:47 AM
Johnson hasn't looked too bad at all. Maybe with Subban in the system they are planning on making a trade? If so, it has to be for a forward because Chara knows the defense is all set with plenty of depth.
Subban, Rask, Johnson and Svedberg might be more goalies than the Bruins need.
- jcmeyer10 - Dec 27, 2013 at 10:56 AM
Yah and the expendable guy on that list in Johnson. Good but not great. Shown flashes of solid goaltending and other times just looked lost.
- drnicholsocu - Dec 27, 2013 at 2:32 PM
I agree. Chad has been an experiment, at best. The Buffalo game may have revealved his true ability.
- nunan - Dec 27, 2013 at 11:22 AM
I dont think they have too many goalies. Svedberg was a rookie in the AHL last year and Subban has a couple years to go, at least. They can both spend more time in the AHL without rushing them up to the NHL. Johnson is perfect for what they need right now. An occasional spot starter who is a decent goalie. They need all these goalies.
- ejbigg - Dec 27, 2013 at 11:47 AM
A trade wouldn't get much. Johnson's trade value is virtually nothing, maybe they are giving Svedberg an opportunity to boost his value, but it still wouldn't be much unless he goes on a Martin Jones-esque tear. Subban is the only one with any trade value but I doubt they would trade him this early in his career.
- nhbsfan - Dec 27, 2013 at 11:20 AM
Yeah, I hope they don't trade Svedberg. I know it might be awhile for him to take a starting job with Rask signing the long term contract, but it's never a bad thing to have not only goal tending depth…but SOLID depth. If anyone is going to be traded, it's probably Johnson, but not really sure what needs the B's are going to address with any trade.
Another possibility that is in play here is that Johnson is fighting an injury of some sort (he didn't look too good in his last game) so Svedberg is up just in case he can't go?
- jcmeyer10 - Dec 27, 2013 at 11:41 AM
Solid depth means tradeable pieces. Worst case you have a capable fill in if Rask goes down and best case you get extra draft picks or pieces for the right player.
- pastabelly - Dec 27, 2013 at 11:53 AM
I never understood why they signed Johnson in the first place. Svedberg showed he was ready last year. Johnson's record is somewhat inflated because he is playing against weaker competition. I didn't understand why Johnson got the Sabres on the road and Rask got the Sabres at home, but Johnson was not good in his game.
With Rask now signed for several years, I would think Subban could be traded. The problem with Johnson is that he has no options, which leaves the cupboard pretty bare. I can't figure out what their next move is, but never understood why Svedberg didn't make the team at the start of the season.
- nunan - Dec 27, 2013 at 12:15 PM
He'd just be sitting on the bench. He's clearly a legit talent. He needs to be playing…not backing up a stud whose signed for the next 7 years.
- pastabelly - Dec 27, 2013 at 12:34 PM
If we're talking about Subban, I think we all agree. Maybe that draft pick was insurance for Rask leaving, but I don't understand a first round pick as insurance. Svedberg getting 25-30 starts in Boston, however, does make sense. He could be a trade chip as well.
- badfish86 - Dec 27, 2013 at 12:28 PM
Perhaps they ate just giving him some playing time too help him get used to better competition, and that gives suban some time to take a number one roll. End of the season being up Sevdberg and let Johnson go. The wheels keep turning!!
- drnicholsocu - Dec 27, 2013 at 2:35 PM
Maybe they hope Tukka will groom him as Thomas did for Tukka and offer Chad as trade bait.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.By Patricia Grogg No-till farming could save the Caribbean from the impacts of climate change. Credit: Wadner Pierre/IPS HAVANA, Feb 20 (IPS) - No-till farming is a response to climate change that fits well with the needs of the Caribbean: it increases the ability to capture water, while withstanding both drought and excessive rains, says expert Theodor Friedrich, representative of the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Cuba. The Caribbean islands are in dire need of new techniques that can ensure food security amid the threats of climate change. "I do not see why these islands cannot produce enough for their own consumption," Friedrich said in an interview with IPS."We have to produce more with less, and conservation agriculture is the basis of the strategy recommended by the FAO," he added. Excerpts from the interview follow: Q: What are the challenges posed by climate change to food security in the Caribbean region, especially the islands? Theodor Friedrich, representative of the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Cuba, says the Caribbean region needs to overhaul its agricultural system in favour of no-till farming. Credit: Ana María Navarro/IPS A: Weather events here have become more extreme. The rainy or dry seasons are more pronounced, and hurricanes that run frequently and regularly in the area are stronger and less calculable in intensity and impact. These conditions obviously impact on agriculture, a slow productive sector that requires some environmental stability. Many of the Caribbean islands are mountainous, and poor land management, erosion and hurricanes cause natural disasters, which affect not only rural areas but the entire population. Q: Would you say that the lack of sustainable agriculture increases the vulnerability? A: There are structural (economic) problems in many of these countries that go beyond climate change. While in Cuba, the (U.S. economic) embargo presents an additional situation. In general, the problems of the other islands are nearly the same: there is no domestic production of supplies or materials (needed) for agriculture. It is cheaper for countries to import agricultural products all at once, instead of producing based on inputs such as fertilisers and machinery - which also have to be imported. It may also be that politics plays a more important role in these matters. Q: How is it possible to keep up food production amid adverse climate conditions? A: In theory it is possible in all terrain, if we implement proper (agricultural practices) that respect the environment and consider the threats of climate change. Today, this type of agriculture exists. I do not see why these islands cannot produce enough for their own consumption. The capabilities are there and require political support that encourages and creates suitable conditions for the production sector, which is also affected by fiscal and tax policies. 3We often see higher import taxes on fertiliser and machinery than taxes on imported vegetables and food products, which does not make sense if you want to improve local production. Q: Should climate change and weather fluctuations be taken into account in development plans? A: Yes, definitely. We need a political vision and policy instruments, but also technologies. That is one of FAO's (key priorities): to develop and promote techniques that respond to the need to produce, despite the threats of climate change and the specific conditions of the Caribbean islands, where many agricultural areas are degraded by rain and erosion. Q: What methods are most recommended in these cases? A: A topic on which I have worked hard is farming without removing the soil, no-till farming, which responds to the need to improve the economic conditions of farmers, saving on fuel costs or the number of oxen. It also (mitigates the impacts of) climate change, because (keeping the soil in place) increases the ability to capture water and withstand drought, with less problems for crops. (No-till farming also allows) soil to absorb excess water in the case of hurricanes, for example. This is called conservation agriculture. It is based on three fundamentals: one is to not work the land, the second is to manage a permanent cover with mulch or plant debris, and the third is to diversify crops, in rotation, in frequency and in crop associations. The key is not to work on the land mechanically, because what is needed is a tool to open a hole or a groove to put the seed in the ground and cover it - nothing more. Land worked like this can easily absorb well over 100 millimeters of rain per hour. There is no reason for flooding in times of hurricanes, because the water passes to underground areas and stays much longer in the earth. Q: Does the FAO recommend this form of farming for small areas, or is it also useful on a larger scale? A: It's a change of the overall agricultural system. It can be applied in small or large extensions and in countries with different climates. It started in southern Brazil and in countries such as Canada and Australia. There the farmers, (in response to) wind, water erosion or drought, were forced to adopt this type of agriculture. About 10 percent of the world's agriculture is under this system. But in the Caribbean it is virtually unknown. We need to produce more with less and conservation agriculture is the basis of the strategy recommended by the FAO. This form of farming helps mitigate climate change because it captures carbon in the soil and reduces methane emissions, when we apply it, for example, to rice. Q: Does the FAO have special plans for Haiti? What is recommended? A: With this type of agriculture we can respond to the situation in Haiti, which is the (most salient) example of the problems of degradation and mismanagement of irrigation systems. We will try to push, together with conservation agriculture, what here in Cuba is known as Systems of Rice Intensification. In this technique the crop is not flooded: puddling is prevented, rice is planted (as) individual seeds in a very wide range and is transplanted from the seedlings after eight to 15 days in very small plants, before it has four leaves. (This results in) significant savings of seeds and water. Yields can easily exceed 10 tons per hectare. These are very adaptive responses to situations like Haiti. Let's see if we can start some changes, some kind of agricultural development in the country and move to a different management (system). (END) Read more IPS reporting here: http://www.ipsnews.net/

Figure 6.
Relative QPCR transcript levels for maize ZmCEL genes in internode 12. Transcript correlations of r2 of 0.9 or greater are shown. A: ZmCEL2, ZmCEL7, ZmCEL10, ZmCEL19 and ZmCEL20 all had high transcript levels in the mature zone of elongating vascular bundles, and B: similarly, ZmCEL1 and ZmCEL3 also showed highest levels of transcript in the mature zone of elongating vascular bundles, however, transcript was present in some elongating tissues. The stages of development examined included EARLY (V11), V14 and V16. P, R and VB refer to pith, rind and vascular bundle, respectively. E, M and T refer to elongation, maturation and transition zones, respectively.
