Environmental Kuznets curve for biodiversity conservation

The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for biodiversity conservation is a hypothesis describing a particular relationship between economic prosperity and the conservation of Earth's species. In particular, the EKC predicts a u-shaped relationship between per capita GDP and the proportion of a country's species that are preserved over time. Poor countries are expected to have high environmental quality, but subsequent industrialization and concurrent increases in wealth and development lead to destruction of the environment. Theoretically, this pattern continues only until the point at which countries become wealthy enough to begin investing in biodiversity conservation. Once that turning point is achieved, the proportion of conserved species is predicted to turn upwards again. Some empirical evidence, however, suggests that the biodiversity EKC may be an illusion, or at least not valid for all regions.
The environmental Kuznets curve is an extrapolation upon Kuznets earlier work in income inequality, the premise of which is that income inequality diverges when a country is experiencing dramatic wealth increase, and then the trend reverses when a relatively high level of total societal wealth is achieved; this incomes version of the Kuznets theory is not universally accepted among economists and demographers.
Theoretical Foundations
The EKC hypothesis follows from the widely held notion, predominant in neoclassical economics, that wealth actually facilitates conservation (while poverty breeds environmental decay). This notion relies on the assumption that environmental quality is, in essence, a luxury good, something to be prioritized and afforded only by the rich. Increases in prosperity are presumed to run hand-in-hand with changes that lead to more environmentally benign societies: development, adoption of more efficient technologies, and a transition from economies based largely in industry to economies based largely on services and information. Moreover, neoclassical economics assumes that resources are endlessly substitutable. Thus, for countries wealthy enough to develop substitutes, when one resource runs out, the same level of wealth can presumably be sustained by engineering ways to utilize a replacement resource. In short, wealth permits prioritization of conservation, as well as the development of technology to achieve it; with enough money, humans can grow and invent their way out of anything. If one accepts this philosophy, then, as Oxford economist Wilfred Beckerman famously concluded, "the best—and probably only—way to attain a decent environment in most countries is to become rich."
Biodiversity Crisis
Today, however, scientists widely acknowledge that we are in the midst of an extinction crisis, by conventional count, the sixth such mass extinction to blight the Earth over the course of her 4 billion year history. Extinction is a natural phenomenon; in fact, 99% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct. What sets the current extinction apart, however, is its rapidity and its source. Scientists estimate that extinctions today are happening at a rate 100's to 1000's of times faster than the background extinction rate, with the dramatic increase in the rate of extinction being almost entirely attributable to anthropogenic, or human influences.
The sixth extinction crisis can be described as occurring in three phases, coinciding with a) dispersal of man across the globe 50,000-100,000 years ago, b) the onset of modern agriculture roughly 10,000 years ago, and c) the industrial revolution, which spread outward from Europe beginning in the late 18th century. With the increasing influence of man, the wave of extinctions, dubbed a biotic holocaust by Norman Myers, has continued to accelerate. Current estimates of species loss indicate that as many as 50,000 to 200,000 species may be committed to extinction each year; such estimates represent an annual loss of 0.5 to 2% of all extant species.
Conflict Between Economic Growth and Biodiversity Conservation
The single largest direct driver of extinction is land transformation. While all organisms modify their natural environments to some extent, humans have been unique in the expanse of their reach, so much so that it is now impossible to find any ecosystem on Earth that has not been affected by man's influence in some way. In fact, the global ecological footprint—the amount of ecologically productive land and water (assuming global productivity levels) required to sustainably provide the goods and services humans consume (including absorption of all our waste products)—now exceeds the Earth's capacity by about 30%. Because land conversion is driven by growth in the human footprint, it is closely tied to socioeconomic indicators and the consumptive capabilities of populations. These connections have led a number of conservation scholars to argue that there is a fundamental conflict between economic prosperity and conservation of the world's biota, suggesting not only that increases in the global economy (ie. increases in production and consumption of goods and services) imply increased depletion of global resources, but also that the physical limits of our planet preclude unhindered economic expansion.
Evidence for a biodiversity EKC?
Some evidence exists in support of an EKC for biodiversity conservation; however, recent research suggests that such evidence is deceptive. Though empirical data on GDP and conservation often seem to demonstrate that rich countries protect biodiversity, closer inspection of these same rich countries reveals that they do not exhibit genuine improvements in conservation. Many of the richest tropical countries are engaged in continued, rapid deforestation—one of the leading drivers of biodiversity loss worldwide. In instances where countries have become rich through the extraction and sale of natural resources not directly tied to land conversion (e.g. through production of oil), eventual depletion of the resource will either a) lead to a decline in wealth or b) force countries to turn to activities that require participation in destructive land transformation, thereby increasing the threat to biodiversity. Moreover, the richest countries (those apparently doing the best job of conserving biodiversity) also tend to exhibit the largest per capita ecological footprints. Evidence for the biodiversity EKC thus belies continued land conversion in wealthier countries and consumptive practices amongst the rich that contribute to resource extraction, land transformation, and biodiversity loss on a global scale.
Fundamental flaws based upon irreversibility
The environmental Kuznets curve has a fundamental flaw for certain world regions, in that a majority of species may have entered the extinction vortex before the curve direction reverses. An example of this is in Madagascar's Central Highlands, where slash and burn activities by native peoples destroyed not only the bulk of the biodiversity in this region, but completely removed most of the topsoil base needed to regenerate native rainforests. Other examples of this massive ecological destruction are the Hawaiian Islands and Easter Island. The application of the environmental Kuznets curve may be valid in such countries as the USA, Norway, Botswana and Australia, where natural ecological resources are large compared to the human population growth; in such cases the ecological reserves for regeneration may be sufficientlly great to achieve a turnaround.

The High Court in Dar es Salaam will on May 24, this year, give judgement in a poll petition challenging the victory of incumbent Ubungo member of Parliament John Mnyika (Chadema).
The petition was filed by the CCM candidate in the election, Hawa Ngh'umbi, challenging the poll result in the general election held in 2010.
Presiding Judge Upendo Msuya on Friday issued the date of judgment after the counsel for both the petitioner and the respondent had finished giving their final submissions.
In their submission Mnyika's counsel, Edson Mbogoro, and state attorney Justus Mlokozi, for the Attorney General, asked the court to dismiss the claims made by Ngh'umbi, claiming that she had failed to prove them beyond reasonable doubt.
In addition, Mbogoro cited a recent judgment pertaining to a petition filed by Segerea constituency defeated candidate Fred Mpendazoe (Chadema) against the winner, Dr. Makongoro Mahanga.
In the judgment Judge Professor Ibrahimu Juma threw away Mpendazoe's claims, saying that he had failed to prove them beyond any reasonable doubt after failing to submit necessary documents and some key witnesses.
Mbogoro claimed that although Mnyika admitted the existence of 14,000 defective votes, he said if the court distributed them among the candidates instead of nullifying th result, his client would still come out the winner.
Mulokozi claimed that the petitioner had failed to explain how the said votes and other irregularities would affect the result of that election.
In response, Hawa Ng'humbi's counsel, Issa Maige, said that his client had proved the claims as required by the law.
He alleged that the election supervisor should announce the correct results and declare the deserving winner, who was his client.

A totally new watchmaking concept: the Dual-Wing
Drawing inspiration from a chronometer made in 1880, the Duomètre line was based on a novel watchmaking concept: the Dual Wing. Two distinct watch mechanisms, one for accuracy and the other for an additional complication, are synchronised by a single regulator. Each of these mechanisms has its own source of energy. This new principle ensures accurate chronometer function without the need to forgo the use of one or two complications.

Jambo for the coming week, and in the last one, we left our 'Bagamoyo boy' president Kikwete gaining his place in the history books, as the only president of Tanzania to bring to an end mob killings under the guise of 'justice'……..Well actually we didn't, but I wrote the fake history to that effect, as it's what he could have aspired too before he left office, and it's given me another chance to mention my anti 'mob murder' campaign today.
O.K. let's be a bit topical now. "A rose by any other name….is still a rose", so William Shakespeare famously wrote. It's a quote that comes to mind, on hearing the respective P.R. people or spokesmen from Dawasco and Tanesco, vigorously denying that their organisations are indulging in rationing etc., when their 'product' is not forthcoming on a regular basis. D. ….."No, who says so, it's not rationing, just a broken pipe blah blah".
T. ….." The five hour black out was a technical fault caused by rains, and we strongly refute that it's load shedding, there'll be none of that ever… blah blah".
With all the other major misdeeds these companies have to contend with, it's a mystery why this particular accusation bothers them so much. And of course they've missed the point, which is, to borrow Shakespeares analogy, that rationing or load shedding by any other name still means NO ELECTRCITY OR WATER…….so we don't care what it's called, how they describe it, or what catastrophes cause it, we just want them to stop doing it.
Since the latest round of denials from these beleagured public utilities, in the wastelands of Mbezi beach where I stay, both water and electricity have gone off/on with the usual regularity, though Tanesco has been the worst offender. So the repeated message for Tanzania's own William, Minister for Energy and Minerals William Ngeleja, is still "Power rationing, by any other name…without the power, is still rationing!".
Set against International Water Day on Thursday 22nd March, and Maji Week ending on the 23rd, whilst a deluge of rain caused flooding in some areas, in others, bucket carrying residents foraged for the scarce liquid, amid press reports of an acute water shortage due to a broken pipe. Of which the relevant Deputy Minister said, "In overcoming the problem, the government has started repairing pipes and the pumping system at Lower Ruvu". Good….problem 'overcome'… but only till the next time, a sticking plaster solution.
In May l998, Dar residents were without water for over nine days, watching as combined civil and military forces attempted to repair a large water pipe. And questions were asked, if one pipe can cause such problems, what hope is there for really big national emergencies, to be tackled rapidly or effectively in future.
This has been the on-going scenario over the years, and whether privatised or public, operational problems have remained the same.
And why would they not, since under the last three phase governments, we've been told, 'the infrastructure is old and needs replacing", an interchangeable statement for both the water and energy sector. Therefore with worn out transformers ….and worn out water pipes etc., isn't sporadic service and break-down the logical and expected outcome......until sensible prioritisation……..is prioritised?.
If we recall recent water service history in Tanzania, the government had been forced into privatisation of this sector through loan arrangements with the World Bank, under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries agreement, (HIPIC).
Biwater, a World Bank funded British firm, and the parent company City Water Services, were operating in Tanzania after Dawasa handed over to them in 2003, but their services were terminated in 2005 because of poor performance.
Just as Dar dwellers knew that electricity services hadn't improved under the South African Net Group Solutions, yet tariffs had increased, an Action Aid report at the time, said that water provision in the capital had deteriorated, with overcharging for the service.
Questioning the whole privatisation process, they asked why big money was spent on right wing 'think tanks' like the Adam Smith Institute, which received l.3 million dollars, to undertake a public awareness campaign, extolling the virtues of privatisation in Tanzania. A staggeringly high amount for persuasion!.
That public utilities, like energy and water should remain under state control is mostly accepted, but despite their ultimate failure, the temporary tenure of Steve van Stadens Net Group Solutions, achieved something not common under public ownership, namely successful debt collection.
In 2003, they said they needed to collect 80bn/- in electricity arrears from various customers, and l8b/- from Zanzibar, to finance rehabilitation. The exercise proved successful, and the public learnt that some prime defaulters had been the police, the army and the State House.
Conversely, under government auspices, an audit committee finding in December 2009, revealed that outgoing Tanesco boss Idris Rashidi, authorised a spending spree on luxury cars and swimming pools for top managers houses. Shockingly, this was whilst the bankrupt corporation struggled to pay its bills.
Time to close….but what's the moral of this complex play in the energy sectors. Well it could be that citizens shouldn't be influenced by l.3 million dollars worth of western propaganda, if they could recognise it as such of course. And come the next 'celebratory' water day in areas without any, locals should lightly pelt officials involved with rotten tomatoes etc., or the few that can afford them of course!

How to Ensure a Romantic Wedding
Just about every wedding I have ever seen is romantic in its own special way. No matter what the bride and groom's vision and personal style is, there is always an element of romance.
But romance is not a given. What's the right way to ensure romance as a key element to your wedding? The simple answer is in the planning. Below are five important details to consider when you set out to plan your wedding.
Location – Make sure to pick a location that reflects your definition of romance – not someone else's. A wedding on a tropical beach can be one couple's ideal, whereas a mountaintop may spell romance for others.
Lighting – Nothing says romance like a dimly lit room or an outdoor ceremony right before dusk. Make sure you account for lighting levels when planning all stages of your wedding and you consider how to use things like candles, dimmers and shades.
Food – It is totally true – food can add to romance and can either make or break the mood. Lean toward lighter fare that is easy to consume and shy away from things that are heavy, have unpleasant odors or are messy and clunky to eat.
Space – Space is a funny thing because if you don't have enough personal space people feel cramped and uncomfortable. And too much space can be impersonal. Work with your wedding planner to find the right balance of space based on the number of guests and plan accordingly for all aspects from the wedding ceremony to the reception.
Personal Touches – One of the biggest things to remember is that this day is about the bride and the groom. Always look to incorporate things that have become meaningful to the couple. The details count, so remember things like favorite flowers, music and shared memories.
This list can go on and on, but it is a good start to getting you to think about the little details that may not seem like such a big deal, but can make a lasting impact and ensure that romance is a part of your special day.

A new national poll suggests that President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are tied.
The new Gallup poll showed that the president only holds a slight lead over his Republican opponent with 49 percent to 46 percent among registered voters.
The seven-day tracking poll surveyed over 1,000 registered voters by phone and contained a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. It also broke the data comparatively between the number of Obama supporters before and after last Wednesday's debate.
President Obama held a five-point lead over Romney 50 percent to 45 percent from September 30 –October 2. However, three days after the debate the two were tied at 47 percent from October 4-6.
The Gallup poll also revealed that 72 percent of voters who watched the debate believed that Romney did a better job while only five percent held the same belief about the president.
Republicans who participated in the Gallup poll said that Romney tremendously outperformed the president with seven out of ten independents agreeing.

You may be looking for No. 1, a multiplayer character in GTA: Liberty City Stories.
For the mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony, see No. 3.
- "I'm an immigrant and a hired gun, and you're a steroid junkie but we get along."
- ―Niko Bellic, describing his friendship with Brucie Kibbutz.
No. 1 is the final mission for Brucie in Grand Theft Auto IV. Brucie and Niko enter an illegal street race.
Niko walks into Brucie's garage. Brucie and his assistant Lenny are working on a yellow and black Banshee he colloquially calls "The Bitch" and his "Favorite Ride". Brucie didn't do a good job tuning the car, and therefore it won't start, so he decides to borrow a yellow Comet from his friend and colleague, only known as Stevie or Steve.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go and collect the race car.
- Go to the race start.
- Win the race.
- Take Brucie home.
Go get the car with Brucie, as marked on the radar. On arrival, Brucie will call attention to a chrome yellow Comet. Drive it to the starting location. The yellow marker will put you behind the other racers. Once you get to the marker, the race will start. There is an alternate way where you can get a head start by going in the front of the first two cars and bumping them thus prompting the game to go to countdown immediately, giving you the lead instead of starting at the back (you can use this method in other races you have to do for Brucie). Although you might be tempted, try not to lay on the gas. There are a lot of tricky turns so use your brakes and do not shoot the other racers. Take turns slowly and you're sure to win. The computer drivers lack the finesse of a skillful player. When you win the race, Brucie will be "jacked up" and wants you to take him home to work out, even though he did nothing. When you finish this mission, Brucie will be so pleased that he will let you keep the car, offering to give The Bitch to Stevie as compensation. Drop Brucie off at his loft. After this Niko refuses to do any more work for Brucie.
If you let the dialogue between Niko Bellic and Brucie play out before actually driving into the marker to finish the mission you will find out that Niko no longer wants to work for Brucie because of his mood swings from "juicing" too much, but he still doesn't mind hanging out with him. From now on, Brucie will be one of the friends available to you on your cell phone. He will call later because the other racers want a rematch. This will open up an additional activity: Brucie's Races.
Video Walkthrough
Brucie will call Niko, saying the guys he raced against wanted a rematch, opening up races around the city, which is another job for Brucie. Brucie will also become your friend, his ability being free helicopter rides around the city.
- $6750
- New job: races
- New friend: Brucie Kibbutz
- A yellow Comet
After you obtain Comet with Brucie, go to race start, but do not touch yellow marker. Instead, wait few ingame hours while other racers still waiting for you to touch yellow marker. They will leave race track after few ingame hours later and when you start race, since all other racers left, you will be only one who racing, and easily obtain 1st prize. However, they can respawn at the end of race and may fail mission suddenly. So you should still race quickly. This glitch was confirmed on current PC version, and maybe XBOX 360 version.

"I use Phase One because it's the best. I just can't afford not to." - David LaChapelle
With compatibility for more than 60 lenses, the XF Camera System offers high-resolution lenses for all types of professional applications.
Being the first to embrace new technology and integrate a touch based user interface to a digital back, we are proud to continue the tradition with the XF Camera System. We call it the OneTouch UI.
As if the brightest full frame prism viewfinder wasn't enough. Make room for a re-born classic!
The XF Camera System marks an important milestone for Phase One. It is the introduction of a new patent pending and fully controlled in-house autofocus system. The Honeybee Autofocus Platform, or HAP-1.
We've built a new version of Capture One Pro for XF, offering deeper integration, better image quality and faster performance than ever before
Better. Faster. Stronger.
Freedom of choice. Easy to upgrade. Value that lasts.
Contrary to most camera systems, we do not design our systems as short-lived disposables. We build camera platforms on which photographers can extend, build, exchange and grow throughout their career.
Phase One offers the best in-class support, promising our hardware users a response from the globally positioned support team within 8 hours, regardless of location and no matter what the concern.
"We promise to respond within 8 hours. But typically, that is 7 hours more than we need" – Ulf Liljegren, Phase One Support Manager

Bernard Arnault's acute business savvy and appreciation for luxury has certainly been passed on to his two eldest children, Delphine, 37, and Antoine, 35, who have shared the scion's appetite for hard work since dipping their toes into the family business at an early age. Now this delightful brother-sister duo is continuing the Arnault legacy while honing their own professional prowess. Today, Delphine is one of the senior execs at the House of Dior, and is credited, along with CEO Sidney Toledano, for Raf Simons's critically-acclaimed creative direction of the house. Antoine is in his third season as CEO at the much beloved heritage brand Berluti. French and fabulous, the Arnaults are also utterly charming. We can't wait to see how their sartorial stories continue to unfold.
So tell us, how has it been to grow up with and then work with each other? [silence] Okay, who wants to go first?
Antoine Arnault I will defer to the eldest here.
Delphine Arnault Ah, thank you. Antoine has been a part of my life since I was two years old. Now we work in different areas of the group. He's at Berluti, I'm at Dior. But we're both on the board of LVMH. I don't know a life without him.
Did you always get along?
AA No, we were constantly fighting, like most brothers and sisters.
DA We didn't fight that often, did we?
AA But it was extremely constructive in terms of our relationship now. That's what makes a good sibling relationship. We found that we fought on the little things, but agreed on the important things. In my opinion, that's what makes our strength now. When we fight now, it's on the little things. That's normal, right?
Now is your time to dish, any embarrassing childhood moments?
AA Coming back from the Bahamas once, I didn't get a tan, so I tried to use a self-tanning cream. I didn't know you had to put it evenly all over, so I had these orange stains on my face. But hey, I was 15.
DA And it was the day of his class picture!
What about you Delphine, any embarrassing moments?
DA I had some pretty bad costumes at costume parties.
AA When she'd wear them to parties that weren't costume parties.
DA I love Halloween in the States. What an amazing moment.
Delphine, Time magazine described you as "fashion obsessed." Would you say that's true?
DA Fashion obsessed? Yeah. My job is fashion. This is an extremely interesting industry. I get to meet young designers, a new generation of creative people. Even within the design teams at our brands there are amazing people. We are always looking at young talent. It's the future.
If you weren't working in fashion, what would you be doing?
DA Last week I was in L.A. and I went to visit Frank Gehry's studio. I would want to work there. He's a genius. But I'm not an architect and I don't live in L.A., so perhaps I'll keep this job.
What about you Antoine?
AA I would definitely be in advertising. I started my career in the advertising department of Vuitton, and it's something I always liked.
What are you doing with Berluti now?
AA This was a development I had in mind for a long time. There's a strange gap in the men's business where the super high-end, classic man doesn't know where to get his apparel. It's either too fashion or too boring. But Berluti will fill that gap. It's not avant-garde menswear, where you'll find bold prints or asymmetrical collars or things like that. Berluti is a beautiful suit, a beautiful coat, a beautiful pair of jeans that you can wear for years.
DA And the craftsmanship is also fantastic. And the quality of the materials too.
See, big sister has your back.
AA We do overlap, and help each other quite often. From our discussions have come some of our best ideas.
So you don't fight about business, only about family.
DA No, we don't fight. I don't know why he says that.
AA See, we're fighting now.

Vietnam Solar Serve. Since 2000, Solar Serve has built and distributed many solar cookers and other devices of different designs in Vietnam.
Solar Serve supports charitable projects and also runs a social green enterprise. The aim of both is to benefit all people, poor and rich, with alternative energy and helping them to use it properly. It will also provide jobs for local and disadvantaged people in building the devices at their Solar Serve center.
Solar Serve started in 2000 and has so far provided more than 1750 box and parabolic cookers (updated 2012). In the next few years Solar Serve will multiply its production of cookers and research other ways of using solar energy.

I thought the foul at the end of regulation was very flagrent. Oden basically shoved the guy completely off the court.
It was defnitely a flagrant foul. The guy was leveled. It looked like Oden was using the "hit stick" on Madden.

It was borderline...in real time I thought it should have been intentional, but then in slow motion he really didn't extend his arms that far. Poor beast just didn't know his own strength until that guy went flying into the third row. I'm betting if it would have been somebody besides Oden it would have had a very good chance of being called intentional/flagrant. In reality though, it was still Xavier's game to win if he just makes the second free throw.
Im just glad I have Homan as my bodyguard, Eustachy joked. If I ever make it real big and get to drive a limo everyday, hell be driving it. I thought he came off the bench like somebody was stealing his cow or something.
very costly call for Xavier...I am sure that we will be hearing about that all over sportscenter.

Yes, it should have been an intentional foul, but then everybody knows they need to protect the Number 1 seed in the tournament.
I don't know about flagrant or intentional. Either way, that second free throw was thisclose to going in, and then game over for Ohio State.
That was a great shot by Lewis at the end of the game there, and Ohio State played really well without Oden. They showed me something today with that comeback.
Yes agreed it should have gotten a T.
Anyone else think that Kevin Durrant is 10x the player Oden is?

Yes he is by far better, Durrant has so much skill it's not even funny
Coming from a guy that has OSU winning it all and glad they won, I will admit he deserved a technical foul.
When it happened I was thinking intentional or technical foul. He just freaking pushed that guy. I am sure a lot was out of frustration, but come on man.
You could yell about that call all you want but Xavier's coach basically lost it for them. They didn't foul before OSU got a chance to shoot a three. They didn't guard against the three. He didnt call a TO with 2 seconds left to set up a play or have a play called before hand. They tried to sit on the ball and run out the clock instead of looking for good shots after 20 seconds left on the shot clock. He delivered that game on a platter to OSU.
Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays.
Anyone else think that regardless of outcome, that game represented what March Madness is all about? Between that game and Butler/MD, I can't stop watching. I've gotten nothing accomplished today. ATM and Louisville looks to be headed down the same road.
Originally Posted by Fletch

Let's not sell Ohio State short. That was an amazing comeback. Butler still has to make the 25 foot 3 pointer, and Lewis still has to complete that huge and-one along with the game tying three.
And Oden still has to commit that flagrant foul. Oh, wait a second...
The sad thing is that game reminded me so much of our Cyclones vs KU in Ames this year- make our free throws and its over, no overtime, no heartbreak.........anybody have a tissue?
Xavier got ripped by the refs

Parlez-vous français? Bradley Cooper sure does… fluently. And, lucky for us, it was all caught on camera during an interview at the Paris premiere of American Hustle. The clip – aptly named "American Bluff" by the French press – has since resulted in a social media firestorm with knees going weak at each click of the play button.
That's right. Just when I thought I'd heard it all, B. Coop started speaking another language. So well, in fact, that for a second I questioned – ahem, Googled – his American upbringing. It was legit.

Kagera Sugar hosts troubled title holders Young Africans in the return leg tie of the Mainland premier soccer league at the Kaitaba Stadium in Camera this afternoon.
The holders have fresh memory of losing their previous game at the CCM Kirumba Stadium last Sunday, just on the south east shores of Lake Victoria from where they are playing today.
Trailing ten points adrift of pace makers Simba, Yanga need to win the rest of the four matches remaining in the fixture including today's tie.
Known for their stubbornness whenever they meet any of the two Dar es Salaam based soccer rivals in the premiership, Kagera Sugar remain unpredictable.
The sugar processors, who are ninth placed in the standings table with 25 points, have a cushion of six points from the relegation borderline.
Despite being relatively safe from the drop of zone, the hosts will certainly not be complacent to relax and concede easy defeat.
Besides ensuring their safe stay in the premiership berth, Kagera Sugar are also having a responsibility to give their fans a reason to cheer the home leg.
The hosts have won paltry five matches, drew ten and lost seven out of the 23 appearances.
Yanga who lost to Toto over the weekend have a complex mathematical permutation towards title retention as a ten-point gap looks too huge to cover in four matches.
In Dar es Salaam pace makers Simba meet Ruvu JKT whom they have been drubbing almost at will in the previous four seasons.
No one knows as to what is in store for the army side as they face title-hungry Simba.
If Simba's form against Ruvu Shooting last Sunday is anything to by, today's game will not be easy to scoop the vital three points.
A win for Simba would likely dethrone Yanga as the holders are unable to exceed the 56-point mark to be attained by the pace makers.
Unless Yanga are restored their three docked points, then they will have a lifeline to extend title defence up to the next round.
Other three matches in today's fixture would see Toto Africa play African Lyon at their CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza, Ruvu Shooting host relegation-haunted Moro United at the Mabatini venue in Kibaha and Costal Union are away to bottom of the table Police Dodoma at the Jamhuri Stadium.
Both Moro United and Police Dodoma have no option except to post victories in today's matches so as to revive hope of floating in the top flight berth next season.

This spring, I'm all about repurposing what I have lying around my apartment. My current obsession? Suitcases that act as more than just travel accessories. Vintage or antique luggage can double as eye-catching coffee tables (and more). Here are some of the best ways to incorporate these pieces into your design scheme:
Front and center: With only a beginner-level know-how when it comes to using a power drill, a suitcase can be easily transformed into a statement-making piece of furniture. Check out this stylish DIY and put the finished product somewhere where guests can ooh and ahh over it (in the living room or at the foot of your bed).
Shelf it: Smaller pieces of luggage can act as mounted wall shelves, simultaneously livening up an entryway or home office and creating extra storage space (an added bonus when you can walk the length of your apartment in 30 seconds or less).
Dress(er) it up: I adore the mix-and-match look of these dresser drawers, though it definitely qualifies as a weekend project and then some. Actually, I might need some vacation days for this one. (Worth it.)

Good evening and thank you for the opportunity to share this wonderful celebratory event with you.During my more than thirty years in higher education I have had the opportunity to learn a lot of "things." I learned lots of facts and figures and pieces of information, some of which is better left to the challenges provided when playing Trivial Pursuit. The lessons that I have learned that are the most important are those that deal with leadership.I have served in the military and seen how a leader can inspire men and women to offer their lives in service of their country. I have seen political leaders help instill in citizens a sense of community and compassion. I have seen educators pass their passion for learning to successive generations of scholars.And, as a university president, I have seen how leaders like you have shared your time, your financial resources and, most importantly, your heart and soul so Shippensburg University students will have the opportunity to earn a degree from our magnificent institution. You here tonight are the true leaders in this effort to help our students, to enable them to reach their dreams and, ultimately, to make valuable contributions to our world.As a member of the 1871 Visionary Society, the Hilltop Heritage Society, the Board of Fellows and the Tower Associates, you have made significant financial contributions. Just this past year, those gifts have enabled the Shippensburg University Foundation to provide more than three million dollars ($3.0M) in support to the university and, most impressively, almost one point one million dollars ($1.1M) for student scholarships or low-interest loans.These students, and I---ll talk about one shortly, are succeeding as students -- as individuals --and as leaders. They are your living legacy and I know each of you take great pride in their personal and collective successes. Long after we leave here tonight, your impact on Shippensburg and its students will remain, and for that we are all deeply indebted.In January of 2009, I will celebrate my second anniversary at Shippensburg. Though I had been a senior administrator at several other universities, it is different when it is your hand that is on the helm of the Ship, and the course you help set will have long-term impact on this noble endeavor of higher education.As someone who treasures the opportunity to learn, I have found that in these two years I have learned --yet again --some great "things!"
I have learned that the more than 55,000 alumni of Shippensburg have a deep and abiding passion for their alma mater. They remember their years here fondly, the friends they made warmly, and the experiences that made them who they are with fondness. They ask about their classmates, and their faculty. They want to know what---s new. And they want to know how they can help. Every day, I receive an e-mail or note, thanking us for our increased communication with them - they like hearing from us.I have learned that our current students, too, share a love for Ship that I find unique to this institution. They are eager to learn, eager to serve and push me --push all of us at the university --to help them be better, academically and personally. When James Heiess (HYSE) wanted to intern at NASA---s Wallops Island facility, he didn---t let the fact that no one had ever done it before stop him.
With the support of his faculty member Dr. Sean Cornell in the Geography - Earth Science department, he spent a year making the arrangements and became the first Ship student to ever have such an internship. By the way, his internship used global satellite technology and geographic information systems software to construct a plan to prevent water contamination in the event of a fuel leak at the facility. Not bad for a first-time effort.He is just one of example of the great students we have at Ship, and many of those students are here because of your support and the support of thousands of others. Thanks to all of you, our students join with faculty in research projects, they attend conferences and they succeed.I have learned that our faculty are second to none. They are the best, period! You see it in their eyes and hear it in their voices when they share the results of their research with students or when they can use a new piece of scientific equipment to help their students advance. They share their knowledge. They share their information. And they share their love of learning.I have learned that the greater Shippensburg community, especially the Harrisburg to Hagerstown corridor - and, hopefully the Hershey to Harrisonburg corridor, and maybe the Harrisburg to Hanover to Hagerstown triangle -- looks to Ship to be a leader in outreach programs.
Earlier, I mentioned one of our many student success stories. I want to share another one with you to show how your donations to the Annual Fund truly make a difference.
Jennifer Bly graduated in May of 2008 with a degree in English and minors in Spanish and Art. The H&H Chevrolet and the Shirley Fry Fox scholarships provided her valuable financial assistance she needed to get through Ship.
While she was here, she was a member of the Honors Society, Chair of the Service Committee, and a member of the intramural volleyball team. She organized service projects for the Honors Program such as the Rails to Trails clean up, Reading to Students at Nancy Grayson School and the student Relay for Life. She also helped create SHIP IT: Textbooks Go Global that sent thousands of used textbooks to a university in Kenya.
She had internships with Exxon-Mobil Community Summer Jobs Program in Dallas and with Camp Fire USA, Lone Star Council as public image coordinator. And, in conjunction with a faculty member did a service learning project titled "Applying Service Learning Concepts in the Creation of Non-Profit Organizations" when they presented at the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Ask her about her inspirations and she answers simply her professors. "They are amazing and encourage me to see the world beyond the immediate." What a wonderful compliment to our faculty.
Jennifer has received a fellowship to get her master---s degree in rhetoric and political culture at the University of Maryland where she is studying with a goal to becoming a professor in rhetoric and cross-cultural communication. I really hope she will someday return to Ship to teach and become an inspiration to a new generation of students.
Two years is not a long time in the 137-year history of Shippensburg University, but it has given me time to listen, to talk with the campus community and beyond, and to work with a great group of senior leaders from throughout campus. What has come from these collaborations is a vision to which we aspire -- ideas, goals, and hopes for the future of Ship.
Among those are:
Using our Middle States Accreditation successes to inform us, this cooperative effort among faculty, staff, students and administrators, led by our new Provost, Dr. Barbara Lyman, will create and build a solid vision for the future of our great university. A future that will make sure we have the right academic programs for the success of our students and faculty.These and other ideas will continue to be discussed, worked on and, with your help, come to fruition in the near future.
Many of you know that I am fond of saying that while our full name is Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, that what we believe is we are Shippensburg University, The University FOR Pennsylvania. While our history sustains us, our future excites and invigorates us. I am excited at the many possibilities --and probabilities --that I know will make Ship---s future a bright one. And it is a future made possible by you.
Thank you again for all that you have done for Ship and thank you for being here tonight.

Life from the Skies?
Tethys Behind Titan. Source: NASA.
?Main Image Explanation: What's that behind Titan? It's another of Saturn's moons: Tethys. The robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn captured the heavily cratered Tethys slipping behind Saturn's atmosphere-shrouded Titan late last year. The largest crater on Tethys, Odysseus, is easily visible on the distant moon. Titan shows not only its thick and opaque orange lower atmosphere, but also an unusual upper layer of blue-tinted haze. Tethys, at about 2 million kilometers distant, was twice as far from Cassini as was Titan when the above image was taken. In 2004, Cassini released the Hyugens probe which landed on Titan and provided humanity's first views of the surface of the Solar System's only known lake-bearing moon.
Did Life Fall from the Skies? Lessons from Titan
"… we are children equally of the earth and the sky." (Carl Sagan)
In sci-fi movies, the first stirrings of life happen in a gooey pool of primordial ooze. But new research suggests the action started instead in the stormy skies above.
The idea sprang from research led by University of Arizona's Sarah Hörst. Her team recreated, in the lab, chemical reactions transpiring above Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
"We're finding that the kind of chemistry an atmosphere can do has intriguing implications for life on Earth and elsewhere in the solar system," says Hörst. "Titan's skies might do some interesting chemistry – manufacture the building blocks of life."
Hörst and her colleagues mixed up a brew of molecules (carbon monoxide(1), molecular nitrogen and methane) found in Titan's atmosphere. Then they zapped the concoction with radio waves – a proxy for the sun's radiation.
What happened next didn't make the scientists shout "it's alive!" but it was intriguing. A rich array of complex molecules emerged, including amino acids and nucleotides.
"Our experiment is the first proof that you can make the precursors for life up in an atmosphere, without any liquid water(2). This means life's building blocks could form in the air and then rain down from the skies!"
Titan is unique in our solar system. Dotted with lakes and dunes and shrouded in a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and methane, it's a frozen time capsule of early Earth. While the liquid on Titan's surface is methane instead of water, it's the only body in the solar system other than Earth with liquid on its surface.
"We didn't start out to prove we could make 'life' in Titan's skies," explains Hörst. "We were trying to solve a mystery. The Cassini spacecraft detected large molecules(3) in Titan's atmosphere, and we wanted to find out what they could be."
In hopes of obtaining clues to the mystery molecules, Hörst used computer codes to search the lab results for matches to known molecular formulas. She decided, on a whim, to look for nucleotides and amino acids.
"When I pressed the enter key, I expected a big 'nope, not there.'"
She left for a break, and got a big surprise upon returning.
"The computer was printing out such long lists I thought I must have made a mistake!"
But there was no mistake.
"We had about 5000 molecules containing the right stuff: carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. We knew we had the elements for organic molecules, but we couldn't tell how they were arranged. It's kind of like legos – the more there are, the more possible structures can be made. And they can be put together in many different ways."
Among the structures identified in the lab experiment so far are five nucleotides found in DNA and RNA, and two amino acids. But she says there could be more amino acids in the mix.
How could Titan's atmosphere generate them?
The answer lies in another Cassini discovery: plumes of water blasting from Titan's sister moon Enceladus. The researchers have good proof that these geysers are the source of oxygen required to kick off the first chain reactions required for life.
"Water spewing across from the plumes gets broken up, releasing hydrogen and oxygen. And the amount of oxygen entering Titan's atmosphere from outside is precisely the quantity needed to make the amount of carbon monoxide detected in that atmosphere."
Then, other chemical reactions(4) occur, producing the heavier molecules Cassini detected. If the lab results are correct, amino acids and nucleotides are in the mix.
"We still don't know for sure what the actual molecules are in Titan's atmosphere," says Hörst, "but there's a distinct possibility that life's precursors are raining down on the surface of Titan."
Picture it: One moon spraying another moon with water to generate the building blocks of life, which fall to the surface in a storm of methane rain.
Real life may be stranger than science fiction, after all.

Welcome to the Northern Arizona University Retirees
Association (NAURA) home page. We hope
you find the links to the many web pages useful in getting to know about NAURA as
a social, service and informational organization.
This is the 30th anniversary year of NAURA's
founding. There will be some
acknowledgement and celebration of this milestone during the year at our
luncheon meetings.
We would like you to know the leadership of NAURA and their
contributions of service to the Association. Future issues of the FLASH Newsletter will
feature two or more members of the Executive Committee with a brief bio and
summary of the tasks they accomplish. Initially, primary attention will be
given to the appointed members of the Executive committee as their behind the
scenes work is vital to NAURA. The
2015-16 Directory of elected and appointed committee members and their positions
are listed herein, as is a complete list of Presidents for the past 30 years.
We have benefited the past two years from a closer
relationship with University Advancement which provided NAURA with a paid
Administrative Assistant (AA)/Clerk and office space in Old Main. That position is currently vacant but an
active search is under way to have it filled ASAP.
The 2015-16 year has and will be a busy one for your
Executive Committee. We have already
completed position descriptions for all members, and the AA/Clerk as part of an
internal "housekeeping task". The
objective is to make for a more coordinated and efficient NAURA with roles and
responsibilities clearly defined. The
NAURA Constitution and By Laws have not seen any change since 2003. As the NAURA has matured and the broader NAU
environment has grown and evolved, organizational change becomes necessary. Some of that change may find expression in an
update of our organizational documents.
The position descriptions for all Executive Committee members
was turned over to the Ad Hoc Committee for revision of our Constitution/By
Laws on July 1, 2015. This committee has
the responsibility to make and recommend changes to these documents back to the
Executive Committee. With Executive
committee approval, any amendments to either document will be circulated to the
membership at least 20 days prior to the annual business meeting. A two-thirds majority of the members present
and voting shall be required for adoption of the amendments. Seeking membership approval for the proposed
Constitution/By Laws changes will be the main agenda item for the April 2016
business meeting.
Just as important as it is that all retirees get to know the
leadership and functions of NAURA, we want to get to know you. Please come and join us at the luncheons and
program meetings.
Warren E.

(written from a Production point of view)
Blu-ray Disc (BD or Blu-ray) is a high-definition home entertainment format on the standard 120mm optical discs. Launched in 2006, it competed briefly, but fiercely from 2006 to 2008 with HD DVD before becoming the standardized high-definition home entertainment format.
Star Trek releases on Blu-ray commenced in April 2009 with season one of The Original Series. Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Enterprise are currently being released. CBS have commented that a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Blu-ray release is a possibility. In a post on Twitter, Michael Okuda commented "We've heard that CBS execs would love to give DS9 the HD treatment, if sales for TNG HD continue to support it". [1]
Blu-ray releases, much like DVDs are divided into separate regions, to restrict the areas specific discs can be played. The following is a guide to the regions and which areas of the world they relate to:
|"Region free" releases.
|East Asia (except Mainland China and Mongolia), Southeast Asia, the Americas and their dependencies.
|Africa, Southwest Asia, Europe (except Russia), Oceania and their dependencies.
|Central Asia, East Asia (Mainland China and Mongolia only), South Asia, central Eurasia and their dependencies.
Blu-ray release chronology
|Blu-ray Disc releases
|The Original Series • The Animated Series • Star Trek films • The Next Generation • Enterprise
|Home video formats
|Physical: Betamax • VHS • CED • LaserDisc • VHD • VCD • DVD • UMD • HD DVD • Blu-ray Disc • 4K Ultra HD
