Tag (label) the input data from unsafe channels: network 2. Propagate the data tags through the computation Any data derived from unsafe data are also tagged as unsafe 3. Detect unexpected usages of the unsafe data Switch the program control to the unsafe data A Simple Example a is unsafe Information flows from a to b: b is unsafe If c is unsafe, jumping to the location pointed by c fails Three Ways <1> Language-based For programs written in special type-safe programming languages To track information flow at compile time Good: No runtime overhead Bad: Only for specific program languages Not Practical Three Ways <2> Instrumentation To track the information flow and detect exploits at runtime Source code instrumentation Lower overhead Cannot track in third-party library code Require a specification of library calls • Complex, error-prone, side-effects Binary code instrumentation Runtime overhead: 37 times Three Ways <3> Hardware-based RIFLE Good: low overhead Bad: Non-trivial hardware extensions Overview of LIFT Dynamically instruments the binary code Advantages: (1) tracking information flow (2) detect security exploits Low overhead, software-only, No source code Built on top of StarDBT Binary translator by Intel Design of LIFT Basic design Tag management Information flow tracking Exploit detection Protection of the tag space Optimizations Tag Management: Design Associate a one-bit tag for each byte of data in memory and general data register At the beginning: all tags are cleared to zero Data may be tagged with 1 when 0: safe; 1: unsafe It is read from network or standard input Information flow from other unsafe data to it An unsafe data can become safe if it is reassigned from some safe data Tag Management: Storage For memory data Storage: a special memory region (tag space) Look-up: one-to-one mapping between a tag bit and a memory byte in the virtual address space Overhead: 12.5% Compression: • memory data nearby each other usually have similar tag values For general registers Store tags in a dedicated extra register (64-bit) Reduce overhead If no spare registers: a special memory area • No significant overhead as the L1 cache • Hardware ?? Information Flow Tracking <1> Dynamically instrument instructions Instrumented once at runtime, and executed multiple times The instrumentation is done before the instruction in the original program Tracks information flow based on data dependencies but not control dependencies Information Flow Tracking <2> For data movement-based instructions For arithmetic instructions E.g., MOV, PUSH, POP Tag propagation: source operand destination E.g., ADD, OR Tag propagation: both source operands destination For instructions that involve only one operand E.g., INC The tag does not change Information Flow Tracking <3> Special cases XOR reg, reg: reset reg to zero SUB reg, reg: Clear the corresponding tag Exploit Detection Also instrument instructions to detect exploits Unsafe data cannot be used as a return address or the destination of an indirect jump instruction Protection of Tag Space and Code It is necessary to protect them To protect the LIFT code Make the memory pages that store the LIFT code read-only To protect the tag space Turn off the access permission of the pages that store the tag values of the tag space itself Any access of the original program or hijacked code to the tag space results in access to the corresponding tag and triggers a fault Optimizations 47 times runtime overhead Three binary optimizations Fast Path (FP): Motivation Observation: for most server applications, majority of tag propagations are zero-to-zero From safe data sources to a safe destination FP: Approach <1> Before a code segment, insert a check Check whether all its live-in and live-out registers and memory data are safe or not If so, no need to do tracking inside the code segment Run the fast binary version (check version) If not, run the slow version (track version) FP: Approach <2> Live-in: source operand Live-out: may change to safe after the execution if they are unsafe before the execution Others: (a) not used in the code segment (b) dead at the beginning or end of the code segment FP: More Technique Details Difficult to know the address of all units at the beginning Granularity of code segments Run the check version first Postpone the check until the memory location is known Jump to track version when the check fails Basic blocks Hot trace Remove unnecessary checks Network processing component Merged Check (MC): Motivation Temporal / Spatial Locality A recently accessed data is likely to be accessed again in a near future After an access to a location, memory locations that are nearby are also likely to be accessed again in near future To combine multiple checks into one Combine the temporally and spatially nearby checks Merged Check: Approach Clustering the memory references into groups Scan all the instructions and build a data dependency graph for each memory reference Introduce version number to represent the timing attribute Clustering based on spatially / temporally distance Fast Switch (FS) When the program execution switches between the original binary code and the instrumented code it requires saving and restoring the context Introduce large runtime overhead because they are inserted at many locations Use cheaper instructions and remove unnecessary saves / restores Evaluation Effectiveness Performance Evaluation: Effectiveness Evaluation: Performance <1> Throughput and response time of Apache Throughput: 6.2% (StarDBT: 3.4%) Time: 90.9% Evaluation: Performance <2> SPEC2000: 3.6 times on average Conclusion A "Practical" Information flow tracking system Low-overhead Not requiring hardware extension Not requiring source code Discussions Source-code instrumentation 81% on average for CPU-intensive C-programs 5% on average for IO-intensive (sever) program If we are able to apply similar optimization techniques to sourcecode instrumentation, the performance could be "practical" Binary-code instrumentation CPU-bound: 24 times Apache server: worst case 25 times, most cases: 5~10 times More Discussions Focus on basic design and three optimizations Not much details about the taint analysis Evaluation Effectiveness: false positive / false negative Performance • IO-incentive vs. CPU-incentive • More benchmarks Formal model to analyze taint analysis

A 10-mile section of a busy motorway remains closed after the discovery yesterday of a 15ft-deep hole in the central reservation.
The section is on the M2 in north Kent, between junction 5 near Sittingbourne and junction 6 south of Faversham.
The hole - about 16ft long and 6ft wide - led to the section being closed from early yesterday afternoon, leading to big tailbacks on routes leading to and from the Kent coast.
The Highways Agency (HA) said work was continuing to find out what caused the hole to open and that the section remained closed for safety reasons.
The agency went on: "Drivers heading to and from Dover are advised to use the M20. The Highways Agency and its contractors are working hard with partners, including the emergency services and Kent County Council, to minimise disruption as much as possible.
"This has included ensuring any planned roadworks are not carried out on nearby local and strategic roads. Lanes on the M2 will only be reopened to traffic as soon it is safe to do so."
The agency said engineers were joined on site by emergency services including Kent Fire & Rescue Service. Cameras are being used to investigate the extent and nature of the hole.
The HA added that the site had been monitored overnight, while equipment and materials were being organised and deployed to the site ready for the agency's contractors to start work as soon as it is safe to do so.
A signed diversion is in place via the A249, the M20, the A20, the A252 and the A251.Reuse content

OT Pandora's ICC box
Can anyone point me at help with colour spaces?
I was happily using sRGB ooc jpgs for sport (lots of pics just cropped with no PP) and using ACR to develop my ORFs into 8 bit files to save in sRGB, but got some dark prints done & have opened the Pandora's box of soft proofing & ICC profiles.
What do all the experts use? It seems like for a cheap home inkjet an sRGB file should be enough & the labs I have used (Peak & Loxley) who claim to be "pro" ask for sRGB. sRGB is apparently most reliable for internet viewing but I understand has a small gamut. What printers will visibly benefit from a wider gamut jpg?
When I fiddle with colour settings, soft proofing & printer profiles in CS4, I get colours I have difficulty understanding and correcting/matching. I print with "photoshop manages colours", but I'm not 100% sure that the printer driver isn't also trying to manange the colour somewhere.
I was doing fine until I started messing!!!!
Had a look in the printer forum, but couoldn't find an answer. Can anyone help or maybe I should pose the question there?

Vehicle on moon may sink into fluffy stuff
From the issue of March 23, 1963
By Science News, 13:50 PM March 7, 2013
The surface of the moon may be covered with deep layers of fluffy material into which landing vehicles could sink out of sight…. Research so far has shown that loose particles hit by meteoroids settle down into the moon's rock or mineral surface. This surface becomes exposed to radiation and breaks down into fine particles of dust. The dust coagulates into larger and larger clumps…. Observed characteristics of a cement powder have been found to match the reflection characteristics of the lun...

When Kara finally got back to 17, Lancaster Road, she was still thinking about what Ryan had told her. That might have been why she didn't notice the entire place milling with PRADA agents at first. She got out of her car to take a closer look. The great metal doors of the building had been busted open and the Gothic archway looked damaged. Sparks were flying around inside the building, gentle flashes as broken lights and equipment tried to keep illuminated. Almost in a daze, Kara walked towards the entry wordlessly. Fred caught up with her, walking through the rubble.
"Where have you been, Ms. Freeson? We tried to get through to you."
Kara didn't respond, her eyes still on the broken doors.
"Ms. Freeson?"
Fred's voice coaxed a response out of her.
"I was at Forensics. Underground. I was …busy with something. What happened here?" The shock in her voice was evident. Fred had the feeling he was listening to an automaton.
"We've been attacked."
"What had the nerve to attack PRADA headquarters?!"
Kara knew she might not want to know the answer to that.
"We don't know…It…it got away. But it caused a lot of damage before it left."
Something in Fred's tone brought Kara back to her senses.
"Is my father okay?"
Fred didn't meet her eyes, but he continued to talk.
"Nobody's really been killed, except the… We're not really sure about your father, he's okay, unconscious, but okay, we think."
"What happened to him? And who's been killed?"
Fred hesitated for a minute, before saying, "Look, come on inside. This could take a while."
Kara was struck by the level of destruction inside the PRADA building. Several rooms looked like they had turned to debris. Files, computers, servers, cabinets, holding stations all lay strewn on the floor, in several mangled pieces. PRADA agents were lying on the floor as well, some of them buried under the rubble, rescue agents escorting others out in blankets and on stretchers. And here and there, she saw the black leather uniform of a Spirit Soldier lying prostrate on the ground.
"My God! What could do this?"
"It gets worse. Whatever it was, it knew exactly where our Spirit Soldier controller units were. Those were what it destroyed first. Our surveillance was killed too; the cameras seem to have malfunctioned. We're still trying to retrieve some of the data that was directly beamed to storage. Every Spirit Soldier that came within striking distance of it, dropped dead."
"Dead? It killed the Spirit Soldiers?!"
"We don't even know how. There were no signs of violence on their bodies. Almost no eyewitnesses. Most of our agents never even knew what happened."
"You don't even know how it killed them?!" Kara's voice was almost screeching with incredulosity.
Fred replied uneasily, "No…but I have a theory. There's only two ways to kill a Spirit Soldier. The first is to completely disintegrate the body, or in some way to stop all its bodily functions."
Kara had heard that phrase earlier tonight, and she knew there had to be a connection.
"The other is a little more complex. We need to attack the spirit. Overload a Spirit Soldier beyond Critical Spirit Mass. It would cause instant expulsion of the Dark Energy, a spirit-bleeding so to speak."
"A bullet wound made of Dark Energy?!" Kara asked, barely able to continue walking while processing all this information.
"Something like that. My guess is that these Spirit Soldiers had more Dark Energy injected into them somehow, exceeding their Critical Spirit Mass. That would explain a lot of things."
"But Fred," Kara's eyebrows scrunched together as she thought of something. "No one even knows Dark Energy exists, let alone how to use it."
"Exactly, all the more reason to think this was an inside job."
Kara's eyes widened as realisation dawned on her.

Tainted Saint, Chapter NineMature
When kings and queens and other nobility died, they were buried with pomp and ceremony.
When middle class citizens died, they were given a sizable funeral and a place in a graveyard.
When lower class citizens died, they were mourned, buried, and honored as much as they could be in their low position.
When prostitutes died, they were burned and forgotten.
As Emi's "unholy" body caught up in flames, Cassandra held Lizzie tightly and tried to support her friend as best she could. The smell of burning flesh wove its way through the air to Cassandra, making it hard to keep her dinner tucked away in her belly.
Few stood around to pay respects to the deceased Emi, for what respect was there to give to a woman who sold her body? Certainly none of Emi's customers appeared. They had probably forgotten her.
Lizzie's voice cut through the silence. "This will be us one day," she whispered.
Cassandra pulled Lizzie a little closer. "Don't talk like that," she replied. "We have friends because we're nice to people, Lizzie. Emi wasn't nice to anybody, no matter how much you adored her."
Lizzie shrugged and averted her tear-stained face.
But Hadrian says he'll take me away from this. "Lizzie, if Morris were to return and offer to run away with you and leave your profession behind, would you do it?"
Removing herself from Cassandra's touch, Lizzie shrugged again, not saying anything.
"Lizzie, please, don't let Emi's death affect you this way."
"So I'm supposed to stand by and coldly watch one of our sisters get burned without any respect at all? I don't want to end up like her. I want to be honored when I'm dead. I want to leave more of a mark in this world than dirty sheets!"
Lizzie's frankness affronted Cassandra, though she had been thinking similar thoughts herself. "You'll leave more of a legacy than that, Elizabeth!" she exclaimed, calling her friend by her full name.
"If you only knew, Cassandra!" Lizzie shot back, tears filling her eyes. "If you only knew what I've gone and done!"
Shocked, Cassandra tried to grab Lizzie's arm to keep her from running away, but it was no use. Lizzie ran from the scene, the sound of her weeping reverberating through the thick air. Oh, Lizzie. What have you gone and done this time?

Ottawa, February 14, 2013—The Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism), today met with representatives from key federal departments, the provinces and territories, and the tourism industry to advance the work of Canada's Federal Tourism Strategy.
"Tourism is a strong driver of Canada's economy, and our government is committed to establishing the right conditions for the industry to succeed," said Minister of State Bernier. "Today's forum allowed for a common understanding of issues and opportunities for growth in support of an internationally competitive tourism sector."
Launched in October 2011, the Federal Tourism Strategy (FTS) includes a priority to encourage product development and investments in Canadian tourism assets and products. Today's stakeholder-partner forum, an FTS commitment under this priority, was a constructive exchange of information about best practices on strategically important destinations and attractions.
"Knowledge of the key characteristics of destinations and attractions will better position the sector for growth," added the Minister of State. "Since the launch of Canada's Federal Tourism Strategy, we have worked at enhancing our government's role as an effective partner with industry and other levels of government. We are delivering on our commitments and have reached important milestones."
Canadian tourism is currently undergoing healthy growth, with revenues increasing for 13 consecutive quarters. During the first three quarters of 2012, revenues increased by $2.9 billion, reaching $64.4 billion, and the number of tourism jobs averaged more than 618,700.
Visit the Supporting Tourism website for more information on Canada's Federal Tourism Strategy and other tourism initiatives.

There's something to please almost everyone in Public Lending Right's latest rankings of library borrowings, covering July 2012 to June 2013. Patriots can rejoice in the top three places being unusually captured by British writers, with a double for Lee Child and EL James picking up a much-needed PLR cheque too (6.20p per book borrowed, but capped at £6,600 per author).
Lovers of tradition and continuity will like the fact that James Patterson is the UK's most borrowed author for the seventh year running, scoring 15 entries in the top 100. Champions of children's writing can also point to the "most-borrowed authors" chart, in which six of the top 10 places are taken by children's authors, led by Daisy Meadows, the collective pseudonym of the Rainbow Magic writers.
There's even, for once, good news for devotees of literary fiction, as Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies – which was published a month after James's Fifty Shades of Grey in spring 2012, and collected award after award that year while James was breaking sales records – comes a creditable eighth. It is joined in the top 10 by JK Rowling's first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy.
Not for the first time, however, the table may make potentially disconcerting reading for campaigners for Britain's beleaguered libraries. For it suggests that, like George Orwell's typical Englishman after Sunday lunch (in "Decline of the English Murder"), their members are predominantly looking for tales of unnatural death. The crime novels in which they find it tend to be American, urban, hectic, contemporary and page-turning, as epitomised by Child, David Baldacci, Karin Slaughter, and Patterson's various series centred on cops and attorneys – so if this is escapism, it's a very peculiar and psychologically interesting form of it, craving the antithesis of the less complicated, less violent English-provincial past that library members evidently longed for when Catherine Cookson ruled the PLR rankings in the late 80s and 90s.
Wordier US crime writers noticeably do less well, while non-American practitioners of the genre are entitled to feel aggrieved: only one foreign-language title (by Jo Nesbø, at 53) makes the top 100, and although UK authors besides the US-based Child are represented – Ian Rankin, Mark Billingham, Peter Robinson and Martina Cole among them – they're not challenging for the top places. Fans will be struck by the scarcity in the chart of British women crime writers, but more surprising is the absence of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, recently revealed by the Bookseller to have been the UK's No 1 in 2013 across formats (Alex Ferguson sold more printed books, but Flynn's ebook sales made it the overall winner).
That's far from being the only oddity. In children's fiction, for example, why does the appeal of David Walliams and Suzanne Collins to library users (neither has a top-100 title) not match their appeal to book buyers, whereas Jeff Kinney is equally liked by both? In erotic fiction, a category that flourished in 2012-13, why is Sylvia Day nowhere, although across 2013 she was the sole James imitator who still had stonking sales figures?
Most glaring, though, is the lack in the chart of any form of non-fiction: an annual conundrum presumably partly explained by availability – if you visit your local library in quest of, say, a hot celebrity autobiography, there will be a waiting list, whereas numerous, often musty James Pattersons will be immediately available – yet still baffling.
When adult non-fiction was borrowed, the titles that performed well in bookshops over the period again did well – they just failed to get anywhere near the borrowing figures for fiction titles. In cookery, the Hairy Bikers confirmed their rise, denying Jamie Oliver the No 1 spot with their diet book. Other successes included Mary Berry, Lorraine Pascale and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. My Animals and Other Family by Clare Balding (pictured) was the most-borrowed memoir, followed by offerings from Miranda Hart and Paul O'Grady.
Once again, there were fascinating variations across the UK's nations and regions. Fifty Shades of Grey topped the chart in Essex, the Wimpy Kid in London. Scottish library-goers promoted their compatriots Ian Rankin and Stuart MacBride into the top 10, primly ejecting EL James to make room. Welsh readers had little time for the (originally Welsh) Tudors, relegating Hilary Mantel to 24th. Maximum brownie points were meanwhile earned by their Northern Irish counterparts, who put two editions of a Booker-longlisted literary novel, Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, in first and second place.

Healthier Treats for Halloween
Timeless Health Tip
Instead of the traditional sugar-laden treats, hand out one of these healthier alternatives Halloween night.
Spare Change - Convert the money you would have spent on candy into nickels or dimes. Pile them in a bowl and let the children scoop them up with a small spoon.
Toys - Small plastic figurines, erasers, stickers, pencils, and other non-edible items are always welcomed by the younger crowd. Of course, be alert to items that could pose a choking danger to very little children.
Healthier Sweets - This could include sugarless bubblegum made with natural flavorings, or individually wrapped cookies and candies sweetened with fruit juice (available at health food stores).
Hundred calorie snack packs , readily available in many things ... cookies, snacks, etc. Just best to avoid anything refrigerated for obvious reasons. Those little cheese and cracker snacks that do not require being kept cool are a good idea, though.

A few days before a Winter or Summer Olympics and just recently about a month ago for the Women's World Cup, we in the newsroom receive a PDF file explaining which broadcaster has exclusive rights to distribute the event on television, radio, the internet and mobile platforms.
We are not to re-broadcast any of the games, or start up a website dedicated to the competition.
Another one of those e-mails arrived in the inbox today, and when it was opened, I actually LOL'd, yep laughed out loud.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation wanted us to know, they, and only they, have the exclusive right in Canada to broadcast the Pan-American and Parapan American Games.
The what? Oh right, those games.
Where are they? Wow. The Big Smoke. The T-Dot. The centre of the universe. That's right, the city in the country which has not been able to host an Olympics or a Women's World Cup match.
Great logo. Wait, the logo might be the worst ever. It looks like giant floating amoeba. Are those supposed to be letters?!?!?! Seriously it was designed by some hippy in the 60's on a bad acid trip or a two-year-old.
I look forward to the truck loads of merchandise that will still not be sold weeks after the event at 75% off.
So, hey Mother Corp, don't worry about us. We will be fine. Tell your lawyers they can still take summer vacation over the next two weeks to avoid the traffic jam these games are creating. They can enjoy cottage country.

New Business Cleaning Franchises
Cleaning Franchises are seemingly the next new business model, as all the other sales businesses like debt settlement, mortgages, etc. have been regulated, and there's little money to be made. The commercial cleaning industry is there next venture.
Do you ever wonder if you are going to run out of clients? When you have a master cleaning franchise, it is your job to talk with and meet with local businesses in the territory. You have to make sales and obtain cleaning contracts, which you then offer your Franchisees. Of course, some who are in the business or who are thinking about becoming master franchise owners fear that they might not have enough clients in the territory to generate enough sales. These fears are unfounded. - http://www.prlog.org/
The sales team and master franchise owner simply have to start thinking about all of the different opportunities that are available in the territory. This means thinking outside of the comfort zone and looking at every possible option. After all, companies of all sorts have a need for cleaning and they want to use the best ranked cleaning franchises for the job. Here are a few things that you might want to consider if you every worry about running out of prospects in your territory.
Cleaning Franchises - Event Cleaning
Whenever there is a large event, there is going to be a mess. Someone has to clean up that mess. It should be your Franchisee. Event cleanup can offer some great short-term contracts. You just have to make sure that you keep apprised of the different upcoming events in the area and contact the organizers as soon as you can. – http://bestcommercialcleaningfranchises.com
Office Buildings and Office Parks
Of course, these are the bread and butter of most franchises today. You should make sure that you are putting in bids on all of the offices in the area. In addition, check to see how different office parks run things. In some cases, the office park manager will handle hiring cleaning companies for the various offices. In other cases, the individual companies will do the hiring. This is something your sales staff will need to know.
Warehouses and Production Sites
Warehouses and production facilities could have opportunities for your cleaning services as well. Even if they don't want a separate cleaning crew for the actual production area, they may want to have one in the office area of the building.
Medical Center and Hospitals
These sites always need to have proper cleaning, and they could become very lucrative contracts for your master franchise.
Nursing Homes
Similar to hospitals, nursing homes have to have a certain level of cleanliness to operate, and that means they are always in need of proper cleaning. A cleaning crew of professionals from the best ranked cleaning franchises are certainly going to be welcome, and they will allow the regular staff to take care of the patients rather than be responsible for cleaning.

REVIEW: Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake (Limited Batch)
12 comments:
OMG, I had this in Oct 2011, and looked for this EVERYWHERE this Fall. Thought they discontinued it. One of my favorite flavors, hands down!ReplyDeleteReplies
It seems like it only makes its way into stores around Fall, but no it's not discontinued!Delete
I had it this past fall (Fall 2012). I think they stopped making it for the season though. Every time I would go to walmart I would check to see if they had it. It is by far my favorite ice cream. It makes me so sad that it's limited batch.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree. This is a flavor worthy of being available year-round.Delete
I also looked this last fall (2012) I found it once and got 2 of the containers. I went back the next week and it was gone and it was barely oct I think cant remember exactly its been almost a year now. I look every time we go to Walmart I am hoping this week they will have it. Made me so sad last year my mouth is watering just looking at your pics above. PLEASE LET IT BE BACK THIS FALL!!!!! :)Delete
Should be back by now. My local Walmart has two entire rows full of it.Delete
OMG I HATE YOU!!!!! (Nah I am just really jealous! I have been stalking my Wal-mart day and night and nothing yet :( fingers crossed it comes soon!!! Seeing these detailed pictures have only made my desire stronger!!!!!!!!!Delete
- AnonymousMarch 23, 2013 at 11:47 AM
Favorite Ice cream ever!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's among my top choices as well!Delete
Soooooo glad they brought this back. Before the fall/winter is over I'll be sure to stack up 'til next year. You wanna go more "fatboy/girl-ish" put a scoop on top of some pumpkin/sweet potato/apple! lolReplyDelete
I never seen this one by ben & jerry. I would love to try it . Turkey Hill puts out an awesome pumpkin ice cream also . Although it is a little to sweet for me but just the same it is Delish !!!ReplyDelete
I love Ben and Jerry's, but this flavor tastes like uncooked pumpkin to me. I find it a bit too vegetal for my liking. So sad because it took me three years to find this flavor!ReplyDelete

Introduction to mainstreaming biodiversity and development
This Darwin Initiative and BMZ-funded project is supporting African countries to use their revised national biodiversity and strategy action plans (NBSAPs) as a vehicle for integrating biodiversity into development policy and planning.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aims to conserve and sustainably use biological diversity and share the benefits of genetic resources equitably. The 193 countries party to the CBD are revising their national biodiversity strategies and action plans (NBSAPs).
Done well, these could help integrate poverty alleviation with environmental policy, plans and investment and support both development and biodiversity objectives.
The first phase of the project, funded by the Darwin Initiative, focused on supporting four countries – Namibia, Uganda, Seychelles and Botswana – to revise their NBSAP, incorporating development concerns into the plan in order to support poverty reduction and social inclusion. The project finished in March 2015 and much of the content on these pages reflects what was achieved and the experiences of the project members.
The second phase of the 'Mainstreaming biodiversity and development' project started in April 2015 and aims to take the lessons from the revision process into the NBSAP implementation phase, to engage with national development processes and build relationships beyond environment ministries.
The project will involve the original four countries and bring on board Malawi, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Zambia to expand the Mainstreaming Biodiversity and Development Africa Leaders' Group.
Working in collaboration with the UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre, the project builds capacity for biodiversity mainstreaming, develops tools, provides technical support and shares learning.
Find out who's who in the project and watch a series of short films on the challenges of mainstreaming biodiversity.
The Mainstreaming Biodiversity and Development – phase two project partners and collaborators are working on:
- Strengthening leadership and building technical capacity
- Identifying entry points for influencing policymakers and development planners to incorporate biodiversity into existing and new policies
- Assessing the opportunities and constraints for mainstreaming biodiversity, and
- Showcasing and sharing experiences of where mainstreaming biodiversity into planning and policy has been successful.
As part of the project, representatives from five countries came together to exchange their experiences of mainstreaming biodiversity across government and society.
Their stories of progress – 'stories of change' – describe small, everyday changes with the potential to turn into something big, and should inspire and encourage others to look for their own stories of change that can make a difference to how biodiversity is valued, used and protected.
Over the next few years we would hope to see:
- Increased budget allocations for managing biodiversity across the spectrum of stakeholders who benefit
- Sectoral plans that recognise the potential impacts of biodiversity and strategies to manage these impacts, and
- Enhanced awareness of biodiversity values among development planners.
You can watch Dineo Gaborekwe from Botswana make a 'Dragons' Den' style pitch for the business case for biodiversity being included in development planning.
In a series of interviews we review how countries are mainstreaming biodiversity through their NBSAPs. Camila Oliveira, environmental analyst in the Ministry of the Environment in Brazil and national manager of the project Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition (BFN), describes her involvement in mainstreaming biodiversity into nutrition policy.
And you can read about how the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) in South Africa is involved in mainstreaming biodiversity in our interview with Fulufhelo Mukhadi.
Mainstreaming biodiversity. A guide to selecting strategic development targets
This guide addresses how to mainstream biodiversity into development. It is aimed at biodiversity authorities and interest groups needing to select the most strategic development targets for biodiversity mainstreaming – to produce high gains for biodiversity as well as development, reduce any negative impacts, and accelerate the process of institutional integration.
Writing about biodiversity. Tips and templates for policy and media material Are you involved in trying to get biodiversity issues into development plans and policies? Are you wanting to raise awareness of the benefits of considering sustainable use of biodiversity with people in working in government ministries? Or perhaps you want to work with journalists to get more discussion in the media of the importance of biodiversity for development?
This booklet provides advice for writing for these audiences, with practical tips that will give your content a better chance of being read.
Read about general good practice for writing clearly, and then follow specific tips and templates for writing policy briefings, press releases and media briefings.
Stories of change: mainstreaming biodiversity and development. Getting biodiversity concerns into the policy and plans of government ministries and private sector companies is a goal that can take many years to achieve. Bringing the right people together to understand and act on the issues requires determination and energy. These stories highlight where this has been done in five African countries and change is starting to be seen. Topics covered include:
- Work to draft legislation for tackling biopiracy
- Mainstreaming biodiversity in an urban context, and
- The importance of building relationships with the right people.
Mainstreaming biodiversity and development. Tips and tasks from African experience. This guide is aimed at people who are involved in national or sectoral development planning and want to highlight how biodiversity contributes to economic and social development. It may also be useful for those who are developing or revising an NBSAP and want to check it supports poverty reduction and social inclusion. It aims to:
- Help make better use of the NBSAP revision opportunity
- Understand the mainstreaming process – biodiversity into development and development into biodiversity, and
- Provide more information about helpful tools and approaches.
The guidelines will support readers to acquire the ability and skills to select, assemble, analyse and present compelling evidence on the links between biodiversity and national development priorities, and to develop a communication strategy (available in Spanish and French).
Putting biodiversity at the centre of development: a checklist for reviewing the mainstreaming potential of a country's NBSAP. This short checklist provides a simple structure for reviewing a country's NBSAP to make sure it contains the essential ingredients for biodiversity mainstreaming. The content is grounded in the experience of the project members and is aimed at countries starting or in the process of revising their NBSAP (available in French and Spanish).
Developing a business case for biodiversity. Tips and tasks for building a case for integrating biodiversity into decision-making processes and policy development in other sectors. The guide follows a simplified process for generating and presenting compelling evidence and is aimed at environment officials, practitioners and policymakers.
Ten steps to mainstreaming biodiversity. Tips for revising your NBSAPs and to integrating biodiversity needs with development planning generally. Extracted from the Maun Statement below, this short booklet is for anyone wanting to know how to start the process of biodiversity mainstreaming.
A rapid diagnostic tool: biodiversity mainstreaming – integrating biodiversity, development and poverty reduction. A tool for policymakers and others to understand the extent to which biodiversity and development objectives are already integrated at the national level, and the obstacles and constraints that need to be overcome to promote further, and more effective, integration. The tool is also available in French and Spanish.
Biodiversity and Development Mainstreaming – a state of knowledge review. The review synthesises experience to date and highlights lessons learned that can support a strong business case for integrating biodiversity in policy, planning and budgetary processes.

The Cock Tavern in Kilburn is to present I Never Get Dressed Till After Dark on Sundays, about two lovers in New Orleans before it is published for the first time in April.
That will be followed by A Cavalier For Milady, one of Williams's final works, which is the only published yet un-produced one-act play in his output.
Tom Erhardt, agent for the Williams estate, alerted the Cock Tavern team after being impressed by their plays by Edward Bond.
Producer Adam Spreadbury Maher said: "I have to pinch myself because I'm an Australian boy from a small city and here I am in London producing new plays by Tennessee Williams."
I Never Get Dressed previews from March 1 with A Cavalier running from March 29.

Momentum vice chair Jackie Walker has been axed from the role after making a series of controversial comments on the Holocaust.
Footage leaked from a training event showed Ms Walker saying she had not found a definition of anti-semitism she could work with.
The footage also showed her questioning why Holocaust Memorial Day was not more wide-ranging to include other genocides.
A statement released by Momentum denied that Ms Walker's comments had been anti-semitic, but they were considered offensive given that they were made on Holocaust Memorial Day.
The statement reads: "Momentum's Steering Committee has voted, seven to three, to remove Jackie Walker as its Vice Chair, a position it elected her to.
"She remains a member of Momentum and its Steering Committee.
"Jackie's actions at Labour Conference, and her subsequent Channel 4 interview, and by not undertanding concern caused by her statements, have led the Steering Committee to view her behaviour as irresponsible and lose confidence in her as vice chair."
The statement added that Momentum felt that Ms walker could have done more to explain her comments.

About MeThere's nothing more exciting than those serendipitous moments where lighting, expression, makeup and razor sharp focus all come together to capture a beautiful photograph. That is why I am here. Over the last 3 years I have had the incredible fortune to have worked with some amazingly talented models, stylists and HMA's. I am very grateful to everyone I have had the pleasure of working with and hope this port shows off the best that they and I have achieved. I would love to shoot with models who have experience working for other fine art nude photographers as well as dancers, gymnasts and fitness enthusiasts. I am very excited to have settled into a style I really find rewarding and invite models who may have never considered this kind of work to contact me or any of the models I have worked with for reference. Let's make some beautiful art together!
