A WOMAN gave birth in a coastguard helicopter at 1,000 feet in the air after
she was unable to get from her remote island home to hospital in time.
The doctor of the woman contacted the Shetland Coastguard at 4:30am – asking
about ferry times from Unst, Scotland, as she was already in labour.
But the rescue crew decided there was no time to spare and launched a
helicopter based at Sumburgh in the Shetland Islands.
They picked up the father and mother-to-be 90 minutes after the call.
Unst – the most northerly located island in Shetland – turned out to be too
far from Lerwick Hospital, even for the search and rescue chopper.
The winchman paramedic Marcus Wigfull ended up delivering the baby boy at
1,000 feet above the small island of Lunna Holm at 6.30 this morning.
Just ten minutes later the helicopter landed safely by the hospital.
Alex Dodge, watch manager at Shetland Coastguard, said: "This is the first
time that a baby has been delivered on the Coastguard search and rescue
helicopter based at Sumburgh in the Shetland Islands.
"We would like to congratulate the mother and father on the birth of their
son, who is reported to be doing well."

Top 5 Anti-Smoking Adverts
Friday, 2 August 2013 | Admin
With the continuing success of e-cigs and more and more smokers making the switch to vaping, the inventive and often hilarious television and web-based anti-smoking commercials may just become a thing of the past. With that in mind, we've chosen the Top Five most hilarious stop-smoking ads that make us laugh and make us think.
In descending order...
5) A smoker's crafty ploy to speed his pack of cigarettes to his side is scuppered by his wily (but obviously caring) wife, proving that the bigger the toy, the weaker the ploy!
4) Probably one of the funniest anti-smoking ads you'll see, this mock-promotion of a product called 'Nico Breeze' uses irony like a sledge-hammer to bring home the message that stopping smoking really is like a breath of fresh air!
3) A smoker beats his opponent - a mean looking cigarette - at ping pong... or does he? A truly thought-provoking ad that demonstrates that smoking does indeed kill!
2) Brace yourself - this startlingly funny commercial drops its message on the viewer with crashing finality.
1) A corpulent carpet-fitter takes a breather after fitting a living room carpet. But before he can have his cigarette break, he notices an unsightly lump in his freshly-flattened carpet...

PRESS DIGEST- New York Times business news - May 30
May 30 The following are the top stories on the New York Times business pages. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
SAN FRANCISCO Google Inc issued a rare advisory to Wall Street on Friday that analyst estimates for its fourth quarter financial results are flawed.
The world's No.1 search engine, which reports its quarterly results on Tuesday, said most analysts have not adjusted their estimates to reflect the pending $2.35 billion sale of the Motorola Home business.
The business must be presented separately from the results of Google's continuing operations under U.S. accounting rules, Google Treasurer Brent Callinicos wrote in a post on Google's investor relations Web page on Friday.
"As of this writing, a majority of Wall Street analysts who cover Google have not reflected the Home business as discontinued operations in their estimates," Callinicos wrote.
The discrepancy means the fourth-quarter net revenue that Google reports on Tuesday could appear to be less than the $12.34 billion average that analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S are expecting.
Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler says his fourth-quarter net revenue estimate includes nearly $900 million from the Motorola Home business.
"They're saying that the headline number is going to be less than what most analysts have for Q4," said Kessler.
The advisory is a rare move for Google, which does not provide financial forecasts and typically has limited interactions with analysts. The company has in the past provided accounting advisories to analysts about the Motorola Mobility business, which Google acquired for $12.5 billion in May.
Google bought Motorola Mobility primarily for its large portfolio of communications patents and its mobile phone business.
In December, Google agreed to sell the Motorola Home television set-top box business to Arris Group Inc for $2.35 billion in cash and stock.
Analysts expect Google to report adjusted earnings of $10.56 per share for the fourth quarter.
"It's a little surprising that they're doing this the Friday before the report," said Kessler. "They should have put it out a week ago if they wanted analysts to change their numbers."

It's the time of the year where we have to give CNY goodies to parents/in-laws/relatives etc. Where do you shop for them and more importantly, any good but cheap lobang.
So far the savings I encountered are from Esso Petrol stations, where I can get additional $4 off (payable by ESSO Master card and with petrol payment). The goody packs are so so only. Used to shop at Si Ma Lu, near the famous Guang Ying temple. Stop going there as most of the stuff can be found in hard lands around Sing, and prices are not great anymore.

How to Stop My Verbally Abusive Husband
In an abusive relationship, one partner uses physical, verbal or financial manipulation and force to control the other partner. Many people fall into abusive relationships without realizing it, because abuse usually starts out in subtle forms and escalates over time. For people in verbally abusive marriages, it can be harder to recognize and get help than for those in physically abusive situations. But if you know your spouse is verbally abusive, there is hope and help available, and you can stop your verbally abusive husband.
Step 1
Find a safe place. If your husband threatens or intimidates you, or if you don't feel safe around him, seek refuge at a local women's shelter or with a trusted friend or family member. Your safety is always the first priority.
Step 2
Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline or the YWCA to locate support groups and services for abused spouses in your area. Both organizations provide free services, and the YWCA offers many locations nationwide that offer free counseling services.
Step 3
Seek counseling. The effects of verbal abuse can be devastating on your self-esteem, happiness and overall well-being. It's important to find a professional therapist who can help you deal with the abuse and offer advice on how to stay safe and care for yourself.
Step 4
Reach out to supportive family members and friends. When dealing with verbal abuse, it's important to find positive, supportive people whom you can rely on in case of a physical or mental emergency. Keep a list of people you can call in times of crisis.
Step 5
Focus on protecting yourself and your own healing. One of the hardest parts of an abusive relationship is accepting the fact that you can't change your partner. If your partner truly wishes to change, he will seek counseling and professional help. In the meantime, work on building yourself back up and recovering from the abuse.
Step 6
Join a support group. Support groups are a great way to meet other women who have gone through abusive relationships and are able to offer each other encouragement, strength and friendship. Support groups also help build your network and will help you feel less alone.

|Sizes are approximate. See the Sizing Tips tab on a product's page for detailed fit information about that product.
Most of the styles we offer are labeled "one size fits most", as this is often the only option available to us from our suppliers. Please see the Sizing Tips tab on a product's page for detailed fit information about that product.
Each style is listed with the label's sizing, supplemented by our own experience in testing the socks, if we find that extra information to be useful or different from the label. We encourage you to drop us a line with your measurements if you're having trouble figuring out what will work best for you. Check out this Sock Journal post for tips on which measurements we need!
Sock sizing is an odd thing, and after all these years, we still don't have it fully figured out… When a label says "size 9-11", it doesn't necessarily mean shoe size. This range is typically intended to fit US women's shoe sizes 4-11 or something close to that, but we all know that isn't always true! Then there's the labeling that covers your height and weight, but everybody's weight is distributed differently, so this is not much help either. Unfortunately, we have found it very difficult to find socks or stockings that stretch over 23 inches, even when custom made (although many of our Dreamer Socks will now fit beyond that!). Cotton is easiest to stretch and can be further loosened by wetting the fabric and pulling the tops occasionally as they dry.
Kids Sizes: This is a newer area for us, and there is limited information about whom these smaller socks are meant to fit. Feel free to give us your feedback based on personal experience or working knowledge, and we'll continue to upgrade this growing section!
Smaller Feet: Feet smaller than about a women's size 7 can find the average sock to be too loose, but they often fit into kids sizes. We've had many of our house brand DreaM Stockings made in smaller versions to fit the petite-footed among us. (We also have options for Larger Feet, as well as a category for Tube-Style socks that will fit any size foot!)
Men's Sizes: A size larger than the standard women's range, these are usually labeled for men's shoe size 10-13 and often fit men's U.S. shoe sizes 8-12 best. (When converting women's sizes to men's, just subtract two, e.g. women's 11 = men's 9).
Plus Size: This is generally a larger version of the industry standard "one size". Keep in mind that every person is shaped differently, and that will affect your results with fit more than any weight limit. Our best advice is to try things out, measure your legs, read the sizing tips on the product, and keep your expectations as realistic as possible. We strive to provide accurate sizing information for each and every style listed on our website– just scroll down to the "Sizing Tips" section of any product page to see information from our own in-house tests.
If you need to convert shoe sizes, we have a post in the Sock Journal all about Sock Math! And as always, if you have questions about a specific style, please feel free to contact us, and we'll do our best to answer based on our own personal experience and the feedback we've received from other customers.
Hand wash cold, (or machine wash gentle cycle), do not tumble-dry.

Three sizes!
Small: label says they fit people under 5'1", up to 5'9" or 105 to 174lbs, though the label's top height/weight combo for this size is 5'1", 174lbs.
Medium: label says they fit 5'1" to 5'9" or 130 to 174lbs, though the label's top height/weight combo for this size is 5'7", 174lbs. We found that they have a hip and waist stretch of up to 38 inches and a thigh stretch of up to 26 inches.
Large: label says they fit 5'1" to 6' or 150 to 196lbs, though the label's top height/weight combo for this size is 5'9", 196lbs. We found that they have a hip and waist stretch of up to 48 inches and a thigh stretch of up to 27 inches. They were a bit long on our model's 29 inch inseam, so longer legs might love these!

Top Summer Gardening Tips
We all look forward to summer time; those long hot days and relaxing evenings, and for those who are keen on spending time in the garden it can be the best time of year to enjoy some of the fruits of your labour earlier in the year. It's also the time of summer vacations, so here are some tips for dealing with your garden before taking off for the summer holidays.
Hit those hedges
To make hedges grow strongly and densely they need to be cut throughout the year. Make sure to stay on top of this task in late July in order to keep your hedge in tip-top shape.
Boxwood trees and bushes
If your garden features shaped boxwood bushes or tress, summer time is a perfect opportunity to cut them back, and if desired reshape them – you can easily make a unique template from a large piece of cardboard to use as a guide for cutting.
Lavender pruning
Once your lavender has finished flowering; cut back the shoots by around a third of their length so that less plant energy will be used for new seed production.
Understanding Concrete Pool Lining Options
Every swimming pool must have a liner, whether it is a vinyl liner, concrete liner, or a fiberglass one. Concrete pools are one of the most dependable types of pools and are usually in the ground. They provide the most options when it comes to pool liners.
Tile Liners
Tile can include numerous colours and can also be used to create simplistic images along the pool floor and walls. They come in various materials, such as fiberglass and ceramic. They take a long time to install, but the beauty they provide is well worth the time and/or effort.
Concrete Liners
Painted concrete surfaces present an opportunity for good creativity. They allow the pool to have fancy, appealing shapes or various forms because the floor and walls can be painted, no matter what shape the pool is. In other words, it is a flexible pool liner so to speak, even though it is just painted concrete. In addition, paint can be used to create works of art on the walls and floor for that extra touch of both
Different Types Of Inground Pools
Because they are more attractive and structurally sound than above-ground models, most homeowners prefer inground pools. Available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, these backyard basins are typically made of concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl. Let us take a moment to discuss the pros and cons of each material.
Often sold in packages, vinyl liner swimming pools are popular with homeowners who want to save time and money on installation.
– Affordable: At a fraction of the cost of the other options, vinyl delivers a lot of bang for the buck.
– Customizable: There are no restrictions on size or shape when it comes to these models. As such, customers can request non-standard lengths, widths, and depths.
– Algae resistant: Because it is comparatively nonporous, vinyl tends to inhibit algae growth.
– Longevity: With an average lifespan of between 7 and 15 years, vinyl liners won't last nearly as long, on average, as the other options. That is why lifetime costs could actually be higher if you choose this ostensibly affordable material.
Should I Choose Eco Friendly or Conventional Swimming Pool Chemicals
Having a pool or hot tub at home is a real luxury, and one that many people get hours of pleasure from. For many it is great to relax in the Jacuzzi with a partner after a long day at work, and for others there is nothing better than a refreshing and invigorating morning dip – these are some of he many advantages of having a pool or hot tub at home.
These features do require significant upkeep however, as this is because these bodies of water can foster bacteria and algae, which are potentially very harmful to human health. For this reason, a good schedule for cleaning is essential and investing in the right swimming pool or hot tub chemical starter kit is also necessary to ensure that the chemical balance in the water kills any bacteria.
There are several different types of chemical that can be placed in a pool or hot tub, all of which work to eliminate harmful bacteria and make the space safe for use by the household and guests. These include conventional chemicals such as calcium hypochlorite and lithium
Important Considerations for Your New Swimming Pool
Having a pool in the house or garden is the ideal luxury for many people; after all, what could be better than going for a relaxing morning swim or the complete convenience of exercising in total privacy whenever you want to? Whether indoor or outdoor, there are many advantages to having a pool on your property if swimming is a sport that you enjoy.
Furthermore, having a pool is often a great treat for guests, and those in sunnier parts of the country can enjoy gathering friends and family around it during hotter weather for a barbeque, drinks and a lot of fun. If you are considering buying a new pool, it is important to take into account some key considerations.
The first of these is that you have to get a very clear idea of where you want your pool to be installed and how big you would like it to be. This can be the most fun, but also the hardest part of the pool installation, as there are many serious and difficult decisions to be made in this department.
Inground Pools Which Option Is Best
With warmer weather on the horizon, now is the perfect time to consider some options for summertime fun. Inground pools are a great source of entertainment. Swimming is a great way to cool off on hot summer days, especially if doing so is right in the backyard! When considering inground pools, keep in mind there are different types available. Homeowners can choose from concrete, vinyl, or fiberglass models. All of these have their benefits and drawbacks, and the choice will ultimately be made by personal preference, budget, and longevity.
For homeowners who wish to have a fully customizable model, concrete is the way to go. The homeowner can design the shape and size based on their needs and preferences. Designers can provide decorative accents, such as etching, to provide a customized pool. Also, concrete models will last a long time.
The drawback to concrete is the cost. They are more expensive primarily due to the type of materials that are used to construct them. There is also a lot of time-intensive labor required to install them. Adding in customization or intricate
Tips to Effective Pool Maintenance
Owning a swimming pool can be so beneficial during those warmer summer months when you want to spend some quality time with the family and the sun is blazing down on a sunny weekend afternoon. Owning a pool is more than just filling it with water, in fact you need to ensure you maintain the pool effectively, keeping the water at safe levels and giving your family the ability to enjoy swimming as and when they want to.
Pool maintenance is not a quick job, but with the right tools and products in place, you can manage your pool maintenance effectively.

So where do you start? The first pool maintenance tip you will learn is to ensure you regularly skim the surface of the water. This should be done daily. Leaving debris floating on the water without removing

Eco Friendly Pool Design Ideas
Eco pools have become a popular lifestyle trend. These natural pools not only benefit your own health, but that of the eco system as well as your finances since it's the most cost-effective method and it immediately increases your property value. Take a look at these beautiful natural pool designs:
We live in a time of an over populated earth, the African continent being the one with the largest growth rate in the world. Earth's natural resources and habitats are slowly being suffocated and therefore people are trying to live a more holistic or 'greener' lifestyle to try to save what we have left as well as improving the quality of their health, naturally. Eco swimming pools have thus become one of the most effective methods that people are using to restore the natural balance and also to decrease their exposure to harmful chemicals, such as chlorine, found in modern-day swimming pools.
As a home owner, when you think 'swimming pool', what is the first concern that pops up in your head? The cost to build it? The cost to maintain it? Finding the
Tips To Choose The Right Pool Shape
Swimming pools are part of most homes offering relaxation near the water and serving as a beautiful modern feature.

The conventional styles with smaller dimensions are most popular offering a basic pool to unwind and cool off.

These fragrances often come in a range of different scents, aiming to create the ideal atmosphere for every time that you use your tub.
There are differences in the type of fragrance that you can buy, as you will find that there are fragrances that are simply there to provide a great scent, and others that are specially formulated to provide aromatherapy in the tub. These latter choices can also soothe your aches and
Professional Tips On Above Ground Pool Installs
The rise in the number of homeowners looking for aesthetic and functional swimming pools without the costs or maintenance has led to the popularity of an above ground pool. These features are attractive and versatile in design making it a suitable choice of entertainment and relaxation for any shape or size of property. Professional tips advise on the reasons to install these modern structures.
In-ground pools are expensive and time consuming to install requiring weeks of construction and the additional costs of being filled. A portable pool is a modern structure erected with a 24 to 48 hour time frame making it a suitable option for installation regardless of seasonal changes. Aesthetically pleasing and customized ranges are best managed by a professional and experienced installation company.
The decision to move or temporary residence makes the portable pool an ideal choice for the property owner. Installers can assist in deconstructing the structure and assembling the parts on the new premises ensuring that you do not lose on the feature that you have purchased. The alternative swimming pool is large and extensive requiring additional
Best Building Plan for Outdoor Saunas
Spending time in a sauna is regarded as a good way to relax and purges the body of contaminants as well as having a load of other health benefits. Building outdoor saunas is advantageous as it ensures you maintain the layout of your house and still have a place to relax, out of but near your usual residence. It is also relatively easy and is explained in the following guideline on the outdoor saunas plan.
Consider the dimensions of the building to be used first. Let the sauna occupy an area of less than 10′ X 10′ so as to avoid having to acquire a building permit as is the case if a hundred square feet are exceeded. However, verification of this information with your local building-inspection authority can be done so as to be sure. The best dimensions to use are 8′ X 12′ which will allow you to have three rooms in your sauna: the entry as well as storage room for your wood used as fuel for the sauna, a changing room as well as the sauna itself. Let the sauna's
Finding The Best Selection Of Pools Layouts And Designs
Backyard pools can make a fantastic addition to many households and properties. In addition to the opportunities to enjoy outdoor fun, relaxation and a variety of activities pools can have a tremendous impact on the market value of a home. Designers and installation services that offer a wider range of options to choose from can provide homeowners with an easier way to improve or upgrade their property.
Even smaller pools, hot tubs and modest installations often require considerable expense. Investing in pools that have been poorly designed, fail to compliment their surroundings or lack the style and features that may be available can be a serious misstep. For property owners seeking the best results, it pays to do business with a designer that has more to offer.
While many homeowners may be perfectly happy to choose from among a range of existing designs and layouts, custom made pools can often be a better choice. Determining the exact size, layout and dimensions of an installation can provide a number of important benefits. For homeowners who may be less than pleased with
Protecting Pools And Outdoor Installations With The Right Fence
Failing to restrict access to pools, hot tubs and other outdoor installations can lead to any number of potentially serious problems and concerns. Young children that have unrestricted access to pools may be at greater risk of injury. The right fence can also serve as a deterrent in order to discourage trespassers and unauthorized visitors from gaining access to a hot tub, pool or similar installation.
Security is a concern that no property owner can afford to neglect, especially when it comes to the risk of injury and drowning associated with unattended pools. A fence installation is simple, proven and effective way to enhance security and reduce the risks associated with pools. Owners who fail to address such concerns are far more likely to be faced with problems in the future.
Pools are expensive installation and damage caused by vandals, unauthorized visitors and even wildlife can become very costly. Fences can be used to protect outdoor installations and ensure that home and property owners are less likely to be faced with additional costs or the need to make repairs. The
Features Of High Quality Affordable Pools
A pool is a luxury item most people simply cannot afford. If you are like most people though, you probably still want to someday own a pool. Luckily for you, there are many affordable options available to consumers who want the luxuries afforded by a pool without paying the exorbitant fees that are commonly associated with buying one. By reviewing the features of high quality affordable pools, you will better understand which pool products best suit your unique requirements.
Affordable pools do not have to be cheaply made. The most common types of products found in this industry today are typically made from the cheapest materials available. If you choose to buy one of these products though, they may not prove to be as reliable as you hope.
Even so, there are many high quality entry-level models now being sold for remarkably affordable prices. These entry-level models are typically quite affordable due to their smaller sizes, but they still provide the luxuries and comforts of their larger counterparts. Even so, when spending thousands of dollars to gain access to the luxuries of a

I'm a 61 year old female who decided to jump in and go for the Invisalign treatment plan. The dentist opted to add the attachments on the third set of aligners. Some of the attachments did not stick to the teeth (4/19). Was this the technician's inexperience? And, will this prolong the process? The dentist decided that the missing attachments can be added during the refinement stage. Should I be concerned at this stage?
I received my attachments today. Some did not stick. Will this affect the final result of my Invisalign process?
Doctor Answers 2
Attachment came off
Attachments can come of in the beginning, it is usually not a big deal. It is not an emergency to have them replaced and is often done on the next visit that the patient is seen.
Attachment loss
Since your trays have the attachments built in, just take your last tray in and they can replace the attachments you lost at your next appointment. They will prep your teeth that lost the attachments, add them inside your tray and bond them to your teeth. Sometimes they will come off initially, but easy to replace.

Former Bay View standout Hayward wins first college golf tournament
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kelsey Hayward, of Seekonk and formerly of St. Mary Academy-Bay View in East Providence, collected the first individual victory of her college playing career after she won the the Lonnie Barton Invitational held at the LPGA International Champions Course, March 10 and 11, for the Sacred Heart University women's golf team.
Hayward, a junior for the Pioneers, opened the tournament with a 1-over par score of 73 to hold the lead. She faltered a bit in Round 2, shooting a 78 to finish regulation in a share of first place with Fairleigh Dickinson's Mariana Juaristi to force a playoff that Hayward eventually won on the first extra hole.
As a team, Sacred Heart tied with Saint Francis University (Pennsylvania) for second with scores of 640. Juaristi's Fairleigh Dickinson side won the team title with a score of 628.
In her high school days, Hayward, a four-time All-Stater and an All--New England performer as a senior, was among the leaders of the first Bay View squad to ever earn entry into state team championship. Hayward began her collegiate career at Mount St. Mary's in Maryland but left the school when the women's golf program was cut at the end of the 2012-13 term.
Hayward is a History/Pre-Law major at Sacred Heart, located in Fairfield, Conn.

Writer. Daydreamer. Podcaster. Whovian. Narnian.
I've been struggling to find my narrative voice. I never had a creative writing teacher that challenged me (except the exceptional Dr Byrd) and so I've had to find my own voice and my own style when it comes to my writing. It seems like such a natural, why-should-anyone-have-to-worry-about-that sort of thing.
A day doesn't go by where I don't write something. Usually it's part of some bigger plan (a web series, a graphic novel, a feature film) and usually it ends up being discarded or forgotten about. Most of the things I've written are now collected cyber dust on my hard drive.
But every once in a while, I get to be part of something special. Enter Tanya Musgrave. She came to me a little over a year ago with a short story that she wanted to adapt into a short film. We went back and forth and I wrote three or four drafts of the script before she put the final touches on it and put it into production. I feel a little strange saying that it's a gorgeous, wonderful film in every way possible — but it is. I'm not saying that because I helped write it, I'm not saying that because I know the original story it came from and I'm not saying that because I dearly love every one on the crew. I'm saying that somehow that crew and those actors were able to take my rough words and inappropriate jokes and turn it into this:
Check it out and make note of all those cast and crew members at the end. They're names everyone's going to be talking about in a few years.
Just cut this together for Tenika, who's adaptation of Andrew Peterson's "Behold the Lamb of God" opens this weekend.

The most important step in harnessing and realizing your true potential is to change the way you view your ADHD symptoms. The qualities that you may believe are your weaknesses need to be seen as your biggest strengths. That's not to say that these qualities are a mere state of mind; they pose real and in some cases, very debilitating problems for those with ADHD.
However, with some effort and dedicated work, you can begin using these traits to your advantage. When used correctly, these qualities can help you become very successful and realize your dreams.
- Hyper focus
Although ADHD is characterized by an inability to pay attention for large stretches of time, people with ADHD are prone to periods of hyper focus. During these periods, an individual becomes so transfixed and absorbed with what they are doing, that it's as if everything around them ceases to exist.
Some individuals have claimed that they seem to lose track of time, and are able to block out everything around them in order to focus on what they are doing and get it done.
These periods of hyper focus can lead to extreme productivity. Furthermore, by making an effort to seek out these periods and stay in them longer, an individual may be able to consciously bring about a hyper focused state.
- Boundless energy
An individual with ADHD has a tremendous amount of energy. Granted, if they are confined in an activity or location which doesn't interest them, this pent up energy can lead to restlessness.
However, if that energy is channeled into a purpose or activity that the individual is personally invested in and enjoys, much can be accomplished.
- Risk taking
Impulsiveness is another behavioral characteristic common in people with ADHD. With a little refinement, this trait can be used to your advantage.
Impulsivity in its traditional sense implies that a decision or action is taken with little or no forethought, and with little regard for the consequences. It indicates a certain fearlessness; an ability to act without reservations.
This trait can help individuals take risks. Many people are often too cautious and afraid to take any risks. An individual with ADHD will not suffer from these constraints. They will, however, have to make an effort to spare some thought to the consequences of their actions if this trait is to be used successfully.
- Increased creativity
Individuals with ADHD are extremely creative. Their heads are brimming and bursting with ideas. This ability enables them to generate new ways of doing things, be innovative in finding solutions and creating new things, etc.
Those 'scattered thoughts' that are always filling your head can be tapped into in order to realize the extent of your true creative potential.
- Increased sensitivity
ADHD is a condition which also results in high levels of emotional intelligence. Individuals are not only sensitive to the people around them, but also to environmental cues, making them vigilant and hyperaware.
Sensitive individuals make better leaders. They show a genuine concern for the people they work with, and understand the importance of building positive relationships and working environments. This is an excellent quality to have as an aspiring leader.
- Solution provider
The ADHD brain also has another exceptional trait – ability to solve problems. When faced with a problem or dilemma of any sort, individuals with ADHD seem to reign themselves in so that they can solve the problem. This typically sets off a period of hyper focus, and solutions are found quicker.
- Excellent multitasking capabilities
Due to the fact that an individual with ADHD is often restless, they crave stimulation. This desire enables them to multitask much more effectively than most people.
A short attention span enables them to take part in, and complete, numerous tasks very effectively, without diminishing their effectiveness. An abundance of things to do stimulates their brains and allows them to work in a way which is natural to them.
- Resilience
Resilience is a very common trait in people with ADHD. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that their brains are almost hardwired to find solutions to the problems that they face. This enables them to 'stick to their guns' and find ways to make things work.
As with a great many things in life, a little perspective goes a long way. Having ADHD is by no means a walk in the park. Individuals with this condition suffer a great deal while trying to grapple with their seemingly atypical behavioral characteristics.
Part of effectively managing ADHD is realizing that these specific behavioral characteristics can also have their advantages. In order for them to be effectively utilized, individuals will first have to begin seeing them as assets, and then subsequently working on them to refine their own specific set of skills.
High profile and successful individuals with ADHD such as business giant Richard Branson and Olympian Michael Phelps have attributed much of their success to their ADHD. Once you find what sparks your passion, you can learn to channel your ADHD to your advantage, much like a superhero.
This. A million times this.
Always good to remind yourself.
Americans Confused By System Of Government In Which Leader Would Resign After Making Terrible Decision
In the wake of Prime Minister David Cameron's announcement that he would leave office following the United Kingdom's vote to exit the European Union, tens of millions of Americans expressed their confusion to reporters Friday about a system of government in which a leader would resign after making a terrible decision. "Wait, so he made a really awful choice with far-reaching negative consequences and now he's just stepping down to let someone else take over? What?" said Colorado Springs, CO resident Evan Austin, echoing the sentiments of citizens across the United States who were left struggling to understand why a democratically elected head of government would relinquish control simply because they had been shown to have made a spectacularly bad judgment call.
You could stopped at "Americans Confused," honestly.
Hi there. If you're just waking up
- Brexit won
- The £ plummeted to a 30-year low
- Japan has stopped trading
- Scotland is pushing for independence
- Ireland is considering re-unification
- The Dutch Freedom Party are calling for their own EU referendum
Well, this took off whilst I went to sleep for a couple of hours.
An update:
- David Cameron has resigned, a fact I'd never thought I'd be sad about
- Donald Trump just landed in Scotland, because we haven't suffered enough
- Nicola Sturgeon says EU folk are "still welcome in Scotland" and "their contribution is valued"
- She's thrown down the gauntlet re: staying in and is petitioning the EU for membership. The result is "democratically unacceptable"
- "I intend to take all possible steps to give effect to how Scotland voted. In other words, to secure our place in the EU"
- Statement officially made that second independence referendum "highly likely"
- The financial markets are a shitshow
- Vote Leave have ALREADY backtracked on their two defining campaign promises (more money for the NHS, less immigration)
- A motion of No Confidence has been leveled at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who honestly lasted longer than I thought he would
- The UK have lost £350 billion so far
- Spain could re-take Gibraltar if they wanted to make a move
- Morgan Stanley have started the process to move 2,000 investment banking staff from London to Dublin/Frankfurt
- EU leaders are calling on the UK to get out ASAP
- The New York stock exchange is down 500 points
- From the amount wiped off shares, so far, divided by 32m voters… the cost is already at £6,000 per voter
- Donald Trump has come out in support of the decision to leave, which is how you know we messed up real bad
- Everything is fucked
- I'm so sorry
A lot of people have no clue why Europe is currently in a state of uproar and the only word people seem to be saying is "Brexit" so here's a not-so-quick and easy-breezy explanation on the past 24 hours of CHAOS that has ensued:
The European Union (EU): an organisation of European countries that follows similar laws, allows for freedom of movement/labour, easy travelling (@people who planned on doing Eurotrips, not sure if you can count the UK in that anymore!) and trade with each other. The EU is important because before it was formed, the European continent was ravaged by 2 world wars, and a division because of the Cold War. This organisation has provided all the stability we've seen in the past 40-odd years.
So what the heck is a "Brexit"? Basically, the UK has just voted to leave the EU. 52/48 majority. Now this doesn't seem like a TERRIBLE thing, but there are some serious political and economic consequences.
Economic implications:
- The British pound crashed from 1.5 to 1.3 in 6 hours, the lowest value in 30 years, which in turn affected the US dollar which affects all other global currencies. I wish I was joking but I'm not: South Africa, Poland, Norway, Mexico. Hungary, Australia, Switzerland all saw their currencies plummet. Countries that don't rely on exports as their means of production cannot have a devalued currency. IT's not good. The Japanese Yen which has been strengthening reached an all-time high which is terrible because Japan is trying to reverse its deflationary state. The Bank of Japan is now out of options and Japan literally STOPPED TRADING IN BRITISH STOCKS/INVESTMENTS.
- A devalued GBP means that the Bank of England is going to have to hike interest rates to prevent inflation (domestic prices going up even further) whicH WILL CAUSE A RECESSION. SOUND FAMILIAR ANYONE? YEAH. FINANCIAL CRISES.
- The UK leaving the EU means its market has gone down a LOT in size making them a less attractive destination for trade partners/investors. They're going to have to draw up new trade agreements with basically the whole world since all their trade was previously tied to the EU. This will be tricky because countries liked having a market with a population of ~500 million compared to the UK's size of ~50 million.
- GDP will go down. Retirement income will go down. The British economy is in a state of panic. The global economy is basically, fucked. For now at least.
The thing is, given the precarious nature of the economy right now with markets out of control and stagnant growth practically everywhere, it was a really really bad time to have this referendum - a lot of countries have been banking on a "Bremain" before making their next move when it comes to monetary/fiscal policy. The IMF has predicted that 2016/2017 will see the worst years for growth, but we might see upward growth trends from 2018 onwards.
So how does it still get worse?
- Scotland showed an overwhelming majority of votes to remain in the EU. It's likely that they're going to call for a referendum (again) to leave the UK.
- Northern Ireland also wanted to stay in the EU.
- Wales voted Leave but with a slim majority.
- David Cameron has just announced that he will be resigning in 3 months which means that extreme conservatives who managed to sway the vote in favour of Leave could come to power. That's right. We'll be stuck to suffer with the likes of Farage and Johnson.
- Brexit triggered a lot of nationalist/extreme right-wing movements in the rest of Europe. Some leaders already calling for "Frexit" (France), "Itexit" (Italy) and.."Nexit" (Netherlands)? We may see more in the next few days.. A disintegration of Europe is risky business because Europe has not been able to remain stable until the EU was formed. This could give way for an assertive Russia too, who is, as most countries would be, looking to gain more power over weak/vulnerable European states. This will trigger US skepticism and we all know how that goes.
Basically David Cameron came up with the idea for the referendum because he was desperate to gain support from anti-EU parties like UKIP during the general elections last year. Except now he's resigning. So.
During the campaign, Michael Gove, Boris Johnson (conservatives) and Nigel Farage (UKIP) stressed on immigration laws if the UK leaves the EU because immigration/refugees have been a big problem for the UK as its reducing jobs being given to UK locals/residents and they think the UK is becoming "overcrowded" so the Leave campaign was like WE WILL TIGHTEN OUR BORDERS! YEAH! Except now they've displaced millions of UK citizens living/working in the rest of the EU. Let's see how they figure that one out.
Additionally, they talked about the economic benefits because if the UK were to leave, they would be able to allot the money that goes to the EU to other things like the NHS (national healthcare) etc. The Leave campaign went on about how the UK spends 350 million pounds a week on the EU but actually it spends less than half of that, so really, their campaign was built on scaremongering and lies. EDIT: Farage has announced the 350mil will NOT be spent on the NHS.
EDIT: People have mentioned the fact that unstable EU economies were relying on capital inflow the "Big 3″ (UK, France, Germany). This is true and this was being used as an argument - however, leaving is a Pyrrhic Victory! the UK will most likely have to spend MORE rebuilding its independent economy. However, once markets stabilise, we will see.
Article 50, aka the means of exiting will be triggered in 3 months when the new Prime Minister is announced (most likely one of the extreme conservatives who are riding high on their "Independence Day" fuckery which is even more proof of xenophobic, colonialist bullshit) after which the UK will have 2 years to complete its official withdrawal so hopefully that will provide short-term stability.
But the world is in a dark place right now and everything is terrible.

I fell in love with Cisco Ramon right from the first episode. He's geeky, smart, witty and funny. I never thought about cosplaying him until quite a few people kept telling me I looked like him. One of the easiest cosplays yet =D

I've been melancholy all day. Two years ago, it was June 7th, 2013. Two years ago, my wife and I were seeing a light at the end of a five-year long tunnel. Two years ago today I attended my first comic book convention. Two years ago today I attended HeroesCon.
I was convinced to go by my good buddy deantrippe. I had been struggling professionally, artistically and spiritually and he said, "do HeroesCon. It's the best. You can hang out at my table, you'll meet all sorts of people, it'll be good for you. HeroesCon is the best." I agreed to go, bought my ticket, and everything changed.
Remember that tunnel I mentioned? The five-year long one that my wife and I were traveling down? It's a dark, dark tunnel called Infertility. Technically we are still in that tunnel, but within a few short days of me buying that HeroesCon ticket, a light appeared. A glimmer of hope.
A family a few counties over from us were putting a little girl up for adoption. We had talked to the family, and things were looking very good, but it wasn't a done deal yet. What we had agreed on, though, was that we would meet on June 11th. So as Dean and I drove into the night on June 6th, the only thing I knew was that I might get to meet my daughter in five short days.
Immediately my priorities shifted. I already knew I wanted to meet kellysue, but she suddenly became the first person on my list of people I had to meet. Captain Marvel had already been an inspiration to me, and the CarolCorps had already become my online refuge, but she needed to know that. I needed to thank her for what she had done with the character. I needed to thank her for the Corps and I needed her to know how excited I was to potentially share Carol with my daughter.
I'm sure I made an ass of myself, but she was gracious and excited and supportive and, before I left, she gave me some CarolCorps dog tags for my daughter.
Was it later that day? The next day? That weekend was such an explosion of joy and excitement, I really can't remember when the CarolCorps meet-up was. I was in a room of strangers, but I knew, "these are my people. These are the kind of adventurous, outspoken, opinionated and warm-hearted people I need in my life."
I met incogvito that weekend, too. And it he that encouraged me to take that little Sci-fi book I was struggling with and turn it into a graphic novel. Despite having worked on the book for years, I credit that conversation as the real birth of phileasreid.
I met so many artists and writers I had admired for so many years. I thanked them, joked with them, and left them vowing to one day soon, join them.
My life had changed. Then, two days later, on June 11th, my life changed again. We met with that family. They handed me my daughter. She came home with us that night and my life had changed again.
A fuse had been lit. And the following year was an explosion of joy, excitement, contentment and creativity unlike anything I was prepared for.
The epilogue to that year was at the following HeroesCon, when I got to introduce Amelia to Kelly Sue – who immediately taught my daughter the sign for "friend."
A sign we still use almost every day.
So, yeah, when June rolls around and HeroesCon appears on the horizon, I get a little melancholy.
I wrote one year ago today and it's as true now as it was then.

Captain Marvel MCU concept.
For this I tried my best to replicate the feel of the Marvel films' promo art. Sure was tough and I don't think mine is up to par, but I learned a lot!
This concept takes heavy inspiration from Kris Anka's design for Captain Marvel. I was going for a military, air force feel, so my main point of reference were various types of pilot gear.
The face is no one in particular. I did however, refer to Katheryn Winnick and Elizabeth Debicki's faces constantly.

I commissioned this piece for Kelly.
I printed it on canvas and it hangs in her closet, for her to see every morning.
Hamilton continues to be my playlist of choice whenever I'm drawing. I did this illustration of Jefferson/amazing Daveed Diggs!/ for the magazine for uni I'm putting together. I wrote an essay on Hamilton for lectures, and now we have to organise a magazine around the theme. So, I could finally draw some Hamilton fanart without feeling guilty for neglecting uni work

Not Famous Enough? Navajo Nation Loses Urban Outfitters Case
The largest tribe in the United States could not prove it was "famous" enough to win a trademark case against the hipster fashion giant.
The Navajo Nation lost two counts in a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Urban Outfitters because the tribe's trademark is not "famous" enough, the court siding with the fashion giant's argument that "Navajo" is a generic term for a style or design.
The Indigenous tribe—the largest in the United States—had to prove that the term "Navajo" is "widely recognized by the general consuming public of the United States" to move forward with the trademark dilution case, which few courts have been able to prove, said New Mexico's District Judge Bruce Black on Friday.
i'm not saying tony is wrong, just that there was only one person in the movie actively telling a kid to ditch his homework and come fight a grown-ass-man's battles for him.

Scientists Discover The Oldest, Largest Body Of Water In Existence—In Space
Scientists have found the biggest and oldest reservoir of water ever—so large and so old, it's almost impossible to describe.
The water is out in space, a place we used to think of as desolate and desert dry, but it's turning out to be pretty lush.
Researchers found a lake of water so large that it could provide each person on Earth an entire planet's worth of water—20,000 times over. Yes, so much water out there in space that it could supply each one of us all the water on Earth—Niagara Falls, the Pacific Ocean, the polar ice caps, the puddle in the bottom of the canoe you forgot to flip over—20,000 times over.
The water is in a cloud around a huge black hole that is in the process of sucking in matter and spraying out energy (such an active black hole is called a quasar), and the waves of energy the black hole releases make water by literally knocking hydrogen and oxygen atoms together.
The official NASA news release describes the amount of water as "140 trillion times all the water in the world's oceans," which isn't particularly helpful, except if you think about it like this.
That one cloud of newly discovered space water vapor could supply 140 trillion planets that are just as wet as Earth is.
Mind you, our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has about 400 billion stars, so if every one of those stars has 10 planets, each as wet as Earth, that's only 4 trillion planets worth of water.
The new cloud of water is enough to supply 28 galaxies with water.
Truly, that is one swampy patch of intergalactic space.
Equally stunning is the age of the water factory. The two teams of astrophysicists that found the quasar were looking out in space a distance of 12 billion light years. That means they were also looking back in time 12 billion years, to when the universe itself was just 1.6 billion years old. They were watching water being formed at the very start of the known universe, which is to say, water was one of the first substances formed, created in galactic volumes from the earliest time. Given water's creative power to shape geology, climate and biology, that's dramatic.
"It's another demonstration that water is pervasive throughout the universe, even at the very earliest times," says Matt Bradford, an astrophysicist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and leader of one of the teams that made the discovery. (The journal article reporting the discovery is titled, without drama, "The Water Vapor Spectrum of APM 08279+5255: X-Ray Heating and Infrared Pumping over Hundreds of Parsecs.")
It is not as if you'd have to wear foul-weather gear if you could visit this place in space, however. The distances are as mind-bogglingly large as the amount of water being created, so the water vapor is the finest mist—300 trillion times less dense than the air in a typical room.
And it's not as if this intergalactic water can be of any use to us here on Earth, of course, at least not in the immediate sense. Indeed, the discovery comes as a devastating drought across eastern Africa is endangering the lives of 10 million people in Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. NASA's water discovery should be a reminder that if we have the sophistication to discover galaxies full of water 12 billion light years away, we should be able to save people just an ocean away from drought-induced starvation.
The NASA announcement is also a reminder how quickly our understanding of the universe is evolving and how much capacity for surprise nature still has for us. There's water on Mars, there's water jetting hundreds of miles into space from Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, there are icebergs of water hidden in the polar craters of our own Moon. And now it turns out that a single quasar has the ability to manufacture galaxies full of water.
But it was only 40 years ago, in 1969, that scientists first confirmed that water existed anywhere besides Earth.
(Phys.org) —The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein's theory of general relativity. The model may also account for dark matter and dark energy, resolving multiple problems at once.

PHILEAS REID!! #originalart #johnbroglia #pinup
NASA wants to visit Jupiter's moon Europa. Why's that exciting? In a word: Water. As this visualization shows, the icy moon may look tiny next to our own planet, but it's got 2- to 3-times as much H2O as we have here on Earth. That "little" moon is packing quite the store of water â and with it, scientists think, a significant chance of harboring life.
Scientists Use 3-D Printer To Help Create Prototype Next-Gen Pacemaker
"This video shows a rabbit heart that has been kept beating outside of the body in a nutrient and oxygen-rich solution. The new cardiac device — a thin, stretchable membrane imprinted with a spider-web-like network of sensors and electrodes — is custom-designed to fit over the heart and contract and expand with it as it beats."
I love this quote. I love this movie.
This scene impressed me so much when I first saw it. It still fills me with… idk something. I love it.
Still one of my favorite lines from a movie ever.
Just realized this is PHILEAS REID KNOWS WE ARE NOT ALONE in a nutshell.
There are so many fruits you haven't tasted
so many beautiful songs you have not discovered
spices you've never heard of
and intriguing conversations you haven't had
there are oceans you have not felt
and plants you've never seen
books you've never read
and souls your heart has not touched
this Earth is incredible.
Particles come in pairs, which is why there should be an equal amount of matter and antimatter in the universe. Yet, scientists have not been able to detect any in the visible universe. Where is this missing antimatter? CERN scientist Rolf Landua returns to the seconds after the Big Bang to explain the disparity that allows humans to exist today.

The Golden Ratio is Everywhere
Vincent Kukua just sent us this rad new pin-up!
Europa, sixth moon of Jupiter, in rotation. And now, some fun facts:
- Europa is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old, about the same age as Jupiter.
- Europa is 1,900 miles (3,100 km) in diameter, making it smaller than the Earth's moon, but larger than Pluto.
- On average, Europa's distance from the sun is about 485 million miles/780 million kilometers.
- Discovered by some dude named Galileo.
- Its orbital distance from Jupiter is 414,000 miles (670,900 km).
- It takes Europa three and a half days to orbit Jupiter. The same side of the Europa faces Jupiter at all times.
- It is the 15th largest body in the solar system, and the smallest of the Galilean moons.
- The surface temperature at the equator never rises above minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 160 degrees Celsius).
Ancient Human DNA Suggests Twisted Roots at Base of Human Family Tree
Scientists have sequenced DNA from the 400,000-year-old remains of an early human found in the Sima de Los Huesos cave in Spain. It not only shatters the record for the oldest human DNA sequence ever obtained, but is also forcing scientists to question what we thought we knew about human origins.
Traditionally, scientists have compared the measurements and proportions of these skeletons in order to place our ancestors along the human family tree and evolutionary timeline. The skeleton up top, from the Spanish cave, is classified as Homo heidelbergensis, a group of human relatives from Europe who, according to the bones, are thought to be the ancestors of Neanderthals.
But new and powerful DNA sequencing technology has given us the ability to stitch together sequences from older and more degraded DNA samples than we ever thought possible (I wrote about a 700,000-year-old horse sequence earlier this year for WIRED). The sequences in the Los Huesos DNA don't agree with the old bone story.
The sequence shows that this 400,000-year-old DNA is most related to Denisovans, a group of early humans previously only found in Siberia (AKA "not near Spain"). It was also related to Neanderthals, which fits with the old idea, but suggests that there was a lot of interbreeding and migration going on in these groups, even before modern Homo sapiens had left Africa.
The genomic revolution is changing a lot about science, and the study of human origins is one of the fastest evolving (pun intended). This new info has confused the hell out of scientists, frankly, and there's a lot of work to be done.
To find out more, head over and read Carl Zimmer's detailed breakdown at the New York Times, and his accompanying blog post that explains a lot about the techniques they used.
The roots of our family tree tell a twisted and gnarled tale, written in fragmented sentences, but modern technology is beginning to bring those lost words to light. Hopefully they aren't jibberish.
Portuguese designer Susana Soares has developed a device for detecting cancer and other serious diseases using trained bees. The bees are placed in a glass chamber into which the patient exhales; the bees fly into a smaller secondary chamber if they detect cancer.
Scientists have found that honey bees - Apis mellifera - have an extraordinary sense of smell that is more acute than that of a sniffer dog and can detect airborne molecules in the parts-per-trillion range.
Bees can be trained to detect specific chemical odours, including the biomarkers associated with diseases such as tuberculosis, lung, skin and pancreatic cancer.
A team of astronomers has discovered the first example of black holes in a globular cluster in our own galaxy. For the last 40 years it was widely thought that black holes would not likely be found in globular clusters. The reasoning behind this is that Black holes in a globular cluster may facilitate a way for them to get close enough to one another to merge into bigger black holes that may produce the 'ripples in spacetime' astronomers call gravitational waves.
Tom Maccarone says, "Trying to detect gravitational waves is one of the biggest problems in physics right now, because it would be the strongest test of whether Einstein's theory of relativity is correct." The stars can collide with one another in that environment. Maccarone goes on to explain, "The old theory believed that the interaction of stars was thought to kick out any black holes that formed. They would interact with each other and slingshot black holes out of the cluster until they were all gone."
Maccarone made the first discovery of a black hole in a globular cluster in the neighboring NGC4472 galaxy 6 years ago. Instead of finding it through typically radio waves he found it by seeing them in X-ray emission from the gas falling into the black hole and heating up a couple million degrees (no big deal). Now his team has found 2 more examples this year in our very own galaxy and from radio emissions coming out of the globular cluster.

Senay Attacks, by Marc Thomas
These are the first seven pages of Phileas Reid Knows We Are Not Alone, seven pages I like to call "the prologue."
Dean's in the process of coloring everything, but I had to share them. I'm so pleased and so excited with the way they turned out.
If you're at all intrigued with where the story goes from here, how those four disparate characters on page 2 collide into each other, there's really only way to find out.
John Broglia, who's work I adored in Atomic Robo: Real Science Adventures, just sent me this pin-up for Phileas Reid Knows We Are Not Alone.
"Use it for whatever you like," he said. "It can be a pin-up, a variant cover, or you can add the original art to a reward level."
John Broglia is one seriously cool dude. And if you go to Phileas Reid Knows We Are Not Alone, this pin-up of Phileas, Charlotte, Marshall and Teinan can be yours.

We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.
It's "Doctor Who" meets "The Fantastic Four" in this graphic novel about an alien invasion and the four people who will save the world.
This is the first in a series of graphic novels. We can't do it without you, though.
Phileas Reid Knows We Are Not Alone: The Prologue (So Far)
These are the first five pages of our book. The finished product will be in color and Page 1 will be very, very different (it contains massive spoilers and so is not fit for human eyes at this time).
We're just about halfway through our Kickstarter to fund this graphic novel. It's a story I've been working on for almost two years now and to finally see these characters coming to life is such a big, big thrill.
If you haven't checked out our Kickstarter yet, do it now. The GIF sets of Tom Hiddleston will still be here when you get back. Promise.

"If you turn it over the magazine drops out easily"
Yep, that is too loose.
You could try soaking in really hot water and then hitting it with a hot hair blow dryer for a while. Handle it carefully.
Then let it dry naturally WITHOUT a magazine inserted.
That is the normal way to shrink vegetable tanned leather.
Or you could buy a tube of BARGE contact cement (search Ebay) and use that to cement a strip of leather inside - you'll need to bevel it at the top so that your mag does not catch on it when you're inserting it. That will tighten it up also.
They use Barge contact cement to cement soles onto shoes. It holds like crazy.

The German Environment Agency (UBA) is pleased to announce the new publication "The Use of Natural Resources - Report for Germany 2016". With this report UBA sheds light upon the current situation regarding resource use in Germany. The first UBA resources report focuses on renewable and non-renewable raw materials. The themes covered range from raw material extraction and trade to the use of raw materials in the German economic system and raw material consumption. Other resources, such as water, land or flow resources, are the focus of a separate chapter. In order to provide a comprehensive picture, the report includes an in-depth account of aspects such as dependency on direct and indirect imports, thereby also addressing implications for supply security.
On 7 November 2016 the Irish EPA has launched its sixth State of the Environment Report. The Report, produced every four years, provides an overview of the condition of Irish waters, air and natural resources and the impact of the main economic sectors on the environment.
The EPA Network is an informal grouping bringing together the heads and directors of environment protection agencies and similar bodies across Europe. The Network exchanges views and experiences on issues of common interest to organisations involved in the practical day-to-day implementation of environmental policy.
