Environmental educator embarks on seed saving documentary campaign
A Golden Bay environmental educator is fundraising to produce her second documentary about the art and skill of seed saving.
Permaculture expert Robina McCurdy said in a world of increasingly rapid global ownership and scientific tampering of seeds it was pertinent to start growing "local food resilience" now.
Founder of the Localising Food Project, McCurdy hoped to raise $8500 by April 26, through the crowd-funding platform Pledge Me, to complete a new educational documentary, S.O.S: Save Our Seeds.
On Monday morning $1675 had been pledged.
*Educator puts food in focus
*Conference to focus on local food initiative
The project has already captured video footage from around New Zealand of models of seed swaps, seed exchanges, seed libraries, seed banks, and family seed businesses.
McCurdy said the documentary would also show step-by-step, how to select, process, store, distribute and propagate seeds, - an important skill to ensure the survival of seed lines.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, more than 90 per cent of the world's vegetable varieties have become extinct over the last 100 years.
She said with 95 per cent of the seeds available for purchase in this country imported from overseas, she believed the diversity and availability of New Zealand's daily food was endangered as corporations continuously discontinued seed lines.
"Over time, the food choices we have and the nutritional density of our food will just get narrower and narrower," McCurdy said.
The Localising Food Project consisted of a small voluntary team of educators and documentary makers who shared the common goal to empower community food cultures in New Zealand.
In 2013 the team toured New Zealand and captured 200 short films about local food resilience.
McCurdy released the first documentary in the series, Growing Schools, in 2014 which has received international attention. It explores the benefits of nature immersion in schools and kindergartens around New Zealand.
Many schools and kindergartens from the top of the South Island including Victory, Auckland Point and Motupipi primary schools and Hira, Stoke, Greenwood and Golden Bay kindergartens all featured in the documentary.
McCurdy said she was "astounded" to discover the local food initiatives ticking quietly away in small pockets by many New Zealanders.
"We have the solutions in our hands, but we just don't know they're there and we don't know from one area to another what other areas are doing. This is what the Localising Food Project initiative is about," she said. "Bringing it all together for everyone."
McCurdy says the art of seed saving is more simple than most people think. She shares her top 4 seed-saving tips:
1. Become a variety specialist. McCurdy's first tip is to become a specialist in one type of your favourite vegetable variety. By choosing your favourite "self-pollinating" seed line like potato, lettuce, tomato and beans for example, you can become an expert in that variety. From there, McCurdy says you can begin experimenting with others.
2. Stake and tag. Grow your garden as usual, but early on when you see the plants developing, McCurdy says to "stake and tag" the most abundant looking plant. Instead of harvesting the plant, use that one for seed saving.
3. Storage. After you clean the seeds, make sure you store them in a cool, shady and dry place so they don't get contaminated by mould.
4. Label and record seeds information. McCurdy says seeds have a genealogy just like humans, so the more you know about the seeds history the better it is for passing the seed onto others. Details such as its name, variety, year and where it was harvested are all really useful to include.

I di have two the original and a brighton and hove edition which is where i live!!
I gave my grandkids an original version one -- was always my favorite game, when we got together with the cousins it kept us busy.

So that makes 4.

The Taiwanese mobile manufacturer sees profits fall from NT$11bn in 2011 to just NT$1bn at the end of 2012
HTC has announced results showing a significant fall in profits over the past 12 months.

This post could've also been one of the longest posts I've ever made. But to make sure it wasn't I've decided to list 20 of my favourite movies, instead of all of them. It was extremely hard to only pick 20, but eventually I did!
So, below are 20 of my favourite movies.
Note: these are in no particular order
Ratatouille (2007)
Silence Of The Lambs (1991)
Footloose (2011)
Interview With The Vampire:The Vampire Chronicles (1994)
Orphan (2009)
Tangled (2010)
Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Spirited Away (2001)
Saw II (2005) and Saw V
Although I love the entire series, I think the first one and the fifth one are my favourites, I couldn't choose just one!
Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban
I absolutely love all of the Harry Potter movies, but the third movie is definitely my most favourite out of them all!
What are your favourite movies?

Giving up on this series completely.Yet another formulaic addition to the series from MacAlister. The characters are flat, overblown, stereotypical and downright irritating. I really loved the first few books of this series but it's past time the it come to an end or at least get a major injection of imagination and structure.by disapointed on May 16, 2017

The Innovation and Development Fund (IDF) supports pioneering library projects throughout Scotland. Introduced in 2005, it is aimed at members of the Scottish Library and Information Council who do not benefit from the Public Library Improvement Fund (PLIF).
The long-standing scheme funds innovative projects which support SLIC's four strategic objectives, namely: Advocacy, Standards, Innovation and Partnership.
IDF funding is ideal for projects and activities which encourage creative service delivery and development, including the creation of new resources, research and staff training. Previous IDF Awards have included the creation of pop-up maker spaces, new library collections and digital literacy programmes.
The closing date for the 2017 Innovation and Development Fund was 27th January 2017. In March the SLIC board identified three projects which will now receive funding. The successful bids showcase the rich variety of pioneering library projects happening in libraries throughout Scotland. You can read more about these individual projects by visiting our IDF Awards 2017 page.
IDF is an annual fund with bids usually accepted from November onwards. You can apply online or download an IDF application form and send the completed document to our offices. If you are looking for examples of successful bids you can view some of our previous IDF Awards. However please read our IDF Guidelines before you apply as this will help simplify the application process.
It is also important to remember IDF is only available to SLIC members who are not eligible to apply for the Public Library Improvment Fund (PLIF). We will however accept applications where members are the leading body in a partnership project with non-members or a public library service.
Bids for the 2017 IDF Awards have now closed. However if you have submitted a successful application the following timeline gives an indication of what happens when.

Winter lingers too long.
More snow tomorrow.
Patience wears thin. It must be propagated.
A surprise. One of the dried Blackberry Lily seeds must have fallen into the Avocado pot...
And growing from the scrap pile, patchwork 3s. A little green, because I need it. And because after all, I am a little bit Irish.
I've said it before, I have never had a favorite color. They are all beautiful. To expand vision you need a full spectrum.
These, the beginnings of some spring strays. The two on the bottom right could be sisters. Cut from the same cloth. But different.
Green Eyes close by.
I feel older. Not in any negative physical way. But wiser maybe. Like I've crossed a line. I feel myself drifting away from certain things. Further away from aspiration, judgment and closer to peace and patience. I'm not sure what that means. Maybe just a sense of something. I do notice that I turn the computer off a lot. That I get less done. Hardly notice. Less seems like enough. There I go, rocking inward again. It's been a while.

Winter didn't seem that long.
I think maybe we will see a bit more snow.
But really, it's spring in my mind.
I painted these stairs to the sleeping loft white last year. I never put the second coat. I like them this way. And the computer is up there. It's a small space. Not a lot of head room. An attic. A mattress on the floor, a desk. Maybe 30 or 40 trips a day, up and down. A little bit of not so noticed but needed exercise. It makes a difference. It's warmer up there anyway. Making winter useful.
And speaking of small spaces and little bits of things, and old clothwoven patchwork base from 2010(!). Cloth to Cloth.
I've always had a thing for little bits of color. And taking a very long time to get to things.
A new star in an old setting. I like the nine colored dot pattern. Holding 9 forever like a constellation. And I'm wondering where the rest of those old bases are? And I'll find them because there is Spring Cleaning going on here. Big Time. A big time to let a lot of little things go. I'm going to travel light.

We did get snow.
Expecting more today.
He is watching me fill the feeders.
I'm off to the market and then I will stack wood on the porch.
I've not been feeling well. I'm doing an apple cider vinegar fast since last night. Sometimes not eating is good. Give it a rest. A New Year's purge. Trusting in past experience.

Beside myself.
An old piece of artwork. A self portrait.
The box, the wings, the breaking out. Oddly, one of the few things behind glass here. The paper is very old.
One of the first repairs to the Cat Quilt, long ago. A kind of holding Nothing patch. Nook, my big old cat is immortalized on the Lion Quilt as well.
And now, after a bit of day dreaming, I've taken a new approach to filling the holes along the edge where many of the white triangles have disappeared.I used a lot of vintage cloth there. It melted but that's ok. I learn a lot by watching things melt away. It's a privilege really.
Filling the space with space. Sky like cloth. But Room. Room is the word on my mind. Room to expand maybe. Get beyond just that space. Be filled with less maybe. Room makes things seem like less. Room to see. Windows
To be wrapped in space. Room as shelter. Room is a multilayered word today

Have to say surprised at the quality considering price. Don't get me wrong I would not wear it to work but perfect for the occasion. Delivery was excellent too.

If this is because I compiled OpenCV with libdc1394 support? If so, where can I find documentation for controlling the camera from within OpenCV? All I want out of libdc1394 is to configure a few common properties (camera shutter, gain, resolution, fps, and set for external trigger) but I can't for the life of me seem to get it right! The work you guys are doing here is really phenomenal, but its so far above my head I think I would need a degree in CS to understand it. I would just like to finish up with this (bloody) camera configuration chapter and get on with my experiment, but can't until I get a proper resolution and frame rate. Cheers, Kenn Sebsta

I was wondering if any of these models I should stay away from due to quality control, bad out-of-box accuracy, bad triggers, bad safeties, bad bolt-action etc. I'm leaning towards Savage but people always bash them like Mossberg, but the M14 American Classic looks like a real good rifle.

Importance of Landing Pages in SEO
Before you delve deeper in landing pages and SEO you should do home work to find out if you really need landing pages?
Following are some of the situations where you might think of going for landing pages.
1) Your main website doesn't allow you to do much in Search Engine Optimization.
think of a website which is fully in flash with less text and flash are notorious for SEO.
2) Your main website offers more than 1 product/services with focus on one product/group of products/services and you wish to promote other sub-product/services.
Example could be you sell brand new laptops and wish to venture into selling refurbished laptops also then you might think of going for landing pages for refurbished laptops.
3) Pure sales/marketing pages
Such pages are purely for sales/marketing and are created for direct conversion.
4) Language specific pages
This category is also very popular whereas you don't want to have a full language specific website and settle with landing pages
There are more situations than described above for which you might go for landing pages.
Okie once you decide to go for landing pages then you might think of following SEO techniques for SEO.
1) Don't fall in trap for single page sales letters as they are popular in America. Rather go for at least 10 pages website with Contact us, about us, terms etc common pages to fill the quota of 10 pages/
2) Keep it simple keep it highly optimize for SEO, use all the SEO techniques which you have learned
3) Keep it focused for single product/services
4) Don't copy content from your main website, write from scratch and write unique
5) You also need to go for full SEO services for it, viz. link building, search engine submission etc etc…
6) Don't forget to get links pointing to your main website, after all that is the whole purpose of landing pages – to divert traffic to main website until n unless it is sales letter and you want to get the action on the landing page itself rather than driving traffic to your main website.
Landing pages could be very useful for SEO and to achieve Google top 10 Ranking in less time and effort.

Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Seton Hill University Golf information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Seton Hill University.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team.

A method for the quantification of total xenon concentration in irradiated nuclear fuel with SIMS and EPMA
A new method for the quantitative determination of the total xenon concentration in irradiated nuclear fuel is presented. The SIMS measurement of xenon enables the detection of the gas filling bubbles which are not detected with EPMA. The quantification is achieved using the EPMA data as reference at position where no or nearly no bubbles are detected. A new approach using the complementary information given by EPMA, SEM and SIMS is proposed, it opens new horizons for the characterisation of fission gases in irradiated nuclear fuel.

Using only your fingers and an ink pad, you may create wonderful miniature works of art. I used to work on plenty of natural crafts outdoor after we lived in the woods however not so much now that we are within the city. Martial Arts is superb for you, bodily, mentally and socially; you need to give it a attempt! Fine arts movie is a term that encompasses motion photos and the field of movie as a wonderful artwork kind. The initiative's mission is to energise and unify artists and arts organizations and connect the Bergen County neighborhood to the arts. Make these really cute little burro finger puppets by following the tutorial that you will discover at Crack of Dawn Crafts.
Combine Chinese New Year crafts with a lesson in regards to the Chinese Zodiac, culture and traditions related to the Chinese New Year celebration which lasts for fifteen days. The Arts Council of Northern Ireland Collection is now out there to view on-line that includes over 350 artworks. Additionally, we will set up and advocate for a funding construction that gives neighborhoods and neighborhood-based mostly artists with the assets, coaching and skills needed to make use of the arts in helping communities categorical id, construct community life, and inspire new artistic green industries. Kalarippayattu is an historical form of martial arts practiced even immediately, where I dwell. Additionally, all types of martial arts are usually not involved with violence or self-defense.
Eclectic Martial Arts that combine components of many types is big in business in America immediately. Priority can be given to centres that: are working with younger folks for whom access and inclusion is an issue and who will use the grant to help them to pilot, embed or develop their Arts Award work with these groups. Extend your inside capabilities with the highly qualified personnel at ARTS and increase your organization's success. Morris felt a deep appreciation of the effective crafts that were individually produced within the late Middle Ages by skilled craftsmen.
Kids will take pleasure in celebrating New Year with daytime or nighttime crafts activities on December 31 and January 1. In the days earlier than the vacation season, residence and college New Year events for children are the proper opportunity for kids to make New Year crafts and luxuriate in New Year actions. Through quite a lot of mediums, approaches, and environments, ARTS meets youth the place they are" emotionally, socially, developmentally, and artistically. Some courses are excellent and some are run by people that have by no means had a lesson of their lives – they went to the martial arts supply retailer or on-line and purchased a uniform and a belt. To me the darkish arts would be using non secular data to hurt, manipulate, deceive, exploit and simply to do generally damaging issues to different folks. Subscribe to this blog to keep updated with Ravensthorpe Regional Arts Councils initiatives and occasions.
So just a few weeks ago, I posted a photo of one in all my just lately accomplished crafts on my Facebook page. This is a superb article obviously written by someone very nicely skilled in the martial arts. Grants of £100 to £1500 can be found to Arts Award centres in England engaged on Arts Award tasks with young individuals for whom access and inclusion is a matter. Over a hundred leading artists including David Hockney, Damien Hirst, Anthony Caro, Howard Hodgkin, Anish Kapoor, Richard Hamilton, Bridget Riley, Antony Gormley and Tracey Emin have joined the marketing campaign to make the case towards the proposed 25% cuts in government funding of the arts. ARTS allows speedy project adjustments and quick undertaking occasions to be realized with out compromising high quality or quantity. Tight Modern 2016: Call for artists As Nicholas Serota joins Arts Council England as it's new chair, it good to see that Tight Modern has a shout out for marginalised and disabled artists.

Why are we using cash and piggy banks to teach our children how to manage money? If the answer is,
"So they will be able to manage money as adults," then why do we give them something they won't use as adults?
Piggy banks are cash only.

Piggy banks are cash only.
Kids are fearless about fairness. Nothing emboldens a child more than the opportunity to point out, "That's not fair." Take a moment to listen to these kids react when an adult starts messing with their Halloween candy. How does this apply to kids and money?
When kids get Halloween candy they "own" it and want to make their own decisions. Tough choices such as, "Eat the candy corn or the lollipop?" are important for a kid. Being able to make choices helps a kid develop confidence in their ability to do so.
After eating all the candy corn, the child may decide that a lollipop might have hit the spot instead.
When a kid is told to eat candy corn, they may obey but they weren't part of the decision-making process. The same is true for sharing or giving to others. If someone takes their candy they don't like it. If someone tells them they have to give their candy away, they don't like that either. However, if the child comes up with the idea, they have ownership and pride in the result.
So it is with money. Kids like to "own" their money just like they enjoy owing their candy.
Ownership Children want to have the power to control money just like they see adults doing. "This is my money."
Responsibility Children can accept responsibility for some of their own expenses. "I have to pay my phone bill this week and remember that my school activity fees are due next week."
Decision-making Children can make choices when they can see the end result. "If I don't buy that CD today I will have enough next week to buy that jacket I want."
Parents can help children understand that each money decision affects their total money resource. Kids need to see that there is a bottom line. By setting up a system as explained in my book, The No-Cash Allowance, your kids will learn that managing money is all about making decisions. This is one of the best lessons that your children can learn before they leave home and outgrow trick-or-treat fun.

On Thursday, October 9, the Mr. and I headed over to the Hazen Golf Course for the city's inaugural Oktoberfest Beer for Boobs event. In the past Hazen has had a harvest celebration or a summer event. Due to timing of other things going on in Hazen and the surrounding area, this year the Chamber put on a long weekend of Oktoberfest events. The kickoff (well, at least for me being a beer lover) was Beer for Boobs. Some of the proceeds of this event was going to help with mammogram costs, hence the fun name. We arrived at 4:30 to help with whatever was needed. We lucked out with stunning October weather and the golf course was decorated so nicely for the event.
I love fall!
In addition to the beer tasting, there was also fun games to be held like the stein holsting competition and hammerschlagen. Hammerschlagen is a game played by having a large tree stump about waist high with the flat sides facing the floor and ceiling. Each person gets a nail and one swing of a cross-peen hammer using your non-dominant hand. The person who gets their nail flush to the stump wins the pot. We played $1 per person. More on the stein holding contest below.
The event was $20 to attend and that included samples of beer (provided by Jerome's Distributing) and keg beer prior to the tasting. Krause's Market was on hand and provided some excellent Oktoberfest food including sausages, kraut, spicy pretzels and more. You could purchase Das Boot for $10 to fill up with beer that evening and throughout the weekend at the other events, like the Tigirlily / Kat Perkins concert that would be held Saturday at the hockey arena.
The tables were set with peanuts for munching / palate cleansing.
Setting up the beer pouring station.
Oh, and we aren't ones to skip a reason to party and dress up so we played the part! We got these get-ups from Amazon for a reasonable price and they were a hit. Our friends also dressed up and it was a blast. I must also note that the beer mug I am holding is actually a purse!!
The kegs we had were Coors Light and Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Excellent.
On the left is the hammerschlagen game. On the right is a price list of some Oktoberfest beers for sale at Hazen Bottle that week. Also noted is the Hazen Bottle Annual Wine Tasting to be held on Nov. 20. I have the date reserved on my calendar. That is always a fun time with tons of food, wines and people!
Before the beer tasting and education we played the stein holding contest. The girls went first. We had to hold a full glass beer mug with our non dominate hand straight out for as long as possible. This is so much harder than it looks. Thanks to my husband for videoing this. I tried to embed the video but was having difficulty. I thought my arm was going to fall off. All the participants received a Sam Adams t-shirt, the beer in the mug and the glass beer mug. The winner received a very nice Sam's Adams Oktoberfest stein. I won! Barely though. Yikes!!
And here are the guys. Mark on the left ended up winning. He looks like he isn't even flinching! It was no problem for him. The women went about 2 and a half minutes and I think the men went like 5 or 6? You can tell my husband is in a bit of pain at this point!!
After that, we helped hand out the beer samples and I watched my girlfriend dominate the hammerschlagen game! This was such a fun event. There were various other events throughout the weekend including a fleischkukle feed, German food at the restaurants in town, a pheasant tail feather contest, craft show and the big concert on Saturday among other things. Prior to the concert we had a party at our house in the garage. What a fun time!
We had tons of food and two kegs brought over by a friend – another Oktoberfest and a Pumpkin Porter. Yum! We even had a DJ playing German music for us and set up our own hammerschlagen in the back yard. I dressed in my outfit again and was joined by my Mom in her Beerfest mug costume. Fun, fun, fun!
I was glad to see something like this in Hazen. All of the Oktoberfest weekend events were great. I think some lessons were learned and with some tweaking, this could be a successful annual event in our small town. Prost!

V3 Startup Spotlight: IoT wireless network firm Nwave Technologies
Founder Yury Birchenko tells us more about his Internet of Things startup
Nwave Technologies has created a wireless network platform based on ultra-narrow-band radio technology to facilitate machine-to-machine communication, commonly found in the Internet of Things (IoT), and connectivity to the cloud over a long-range but at a low-power cost.
The company was founded in early 2013 by Yury Birchenko (left), who serves as chief executive and chief technology officer, and has grown to employ eight people based in the Idea London centre in the East End, as well as having a presence in Dallas and Moscow.
We fired our startup spotlight questions at Birchenko to hear more about his company.
Why did you develop Nwave?
When the company first started, we set out to solve one of the modern urban human's greatest challenges such as finding a parking space.
We noticed there was a gap in the market and we realised there was no good existing wireless technology which could solve this in a quick, cost-efficient way.
So we came up with a parking sensor which was able to send data over 7km in an urban environment, which worked for seven years on just one battery without any replacements or recharging.
After developing this technology our team realised the potential for connecting other applications and devices to the web, the very essence of the IoT.
What technology do you use?
We use our own wireless technology that we contributed to the first open standard in this space. On our back-end development side we use Python, MySQL, PHP, JavaScript, Node.js and Ansible.
Are you based in an incubator or startup centre?
We are based at Idea London, a startup incubator supported by Cisco, DC Thomson and University College London.
What level of funding have you received so far?
We have been incredibly capital efficient and managed to secure some early revenue, so until now we have not taken any external investment. However, we are looking for seed investment right now to boost our growth.
What challenges have you encountered to date?
The challenge with this kind of technology is that it can't be developed even by one big organisation.
The IoT is all about collaboration. It's not just about pushing from the top, it's about connecting different people with different skills, ideas and backgrounds into one ecosystem. This is why we created the first open standard for the IoT in wireless communications.
What's been the biggest highlight of your business so far?
Being crowned winner of the Cisco BIG Awards is one of the highlights of the business and will be like rocket fuel for Nwave, combining huge motivation with vital capital infusion.
Even reaching the final is a great honour, especially to be one of six of the top startups in the country. It speaks for itself.
What did you do before starting up?
I built my first startup in the VoIP space a few years before Skype came about. I was 21 at that time and then decided to proceed with a corporate career to get exposure to bigger organisations' business perspectives. I worked at Deloitte Consulting for three years and with BP for five years.
What are your favourite and worst things about running your own startup?
I've been doing the CEO and CTO roles since April, which is a really big overstretch actually.
I don't see it as sustainable, but it's a great challenge. As the company develops I'm hoping to focus on my favourite area which is the technology side.
If you could emulate the success of another startup, which would it be?
Amazon. It started off by shipping books for quite a few years and now look at that 'book store' disrupting Google and Microsoft!
Do you work remotely, in a shared environment or have your own office space?
As part of our residency at Idea London, we work in a collaborative environment with other startups where we are able to share ideas and develop new ways of thinking and working.
Tech hero?
My tech hero is James Clerk Maxwell, the British inventor who developed the theory to explain electromagnetic waves in 1867. His calculations and equations are still used today.
To me, Britain means science and invention. Radio is my favourite technology. Look at how transformative cellular phones and WiFi have been.
It enables so many new business models, and it increases productivity and the efficiency of communications. It's just massive.
Do you benefit from startup communities and related networking?
Yes, I do. Sharing an office with other great startups creates incredibly valuable exchanges in all possible dimensions - skills, collective learning and lots of emotions.
We used to share an office with a more traditional business and it was tough sometimes on both sides.
Could the government and technology industry do more to support UK startups?
The UK government is already doing a great job by providing (S)EIS tax exemptions and funding for small and medium enterprise research and development projects via Innovate UK.
Very recently, the IoT got a lot of attention as the next possible industrial revolution with £40m pledged to be invested via various grants over a few years. Being an IoT startup in the UK, you can't complain about the lack of government support.
If you want to take part in the V3 Startup Spotlight contact Roland Moore-Colyer.
Previous startups under the spotlight have ranged from IoT connectivity firm Arkessa and 3D mapping platform developer eeGeo, to social listening app Twizoo and Android and iOS house-sharing app Chored.

Kay's Reviews > The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth
The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth
by Leigh Montville
by Leigh Montville
Babe Ruth, like Ty Cobb, is one of the best and most interesting baseball players of all times. This is a very detailed account of his life. In fact, I could have taken a little less of the baseball details, but I loved the personal stuff on him. His earlier life is very sketchy, but that is because it's not really known. Records were not great at that time and it seems if the Babe chose not to remember his earlier life.

Peatlands in Malaysia are the most widespread type of wetlands, occurring in more than six of the 13 states and covering an area of about 2.13 million (approximately 6.46% of the total land area). Peatlands possess a very delicate and unique ecosystem with important ecological functions and values. They are recognised as environmentally sensitive areas (ESA)in the National Physical Plan (NPP). The uses and values of peatlands in Malaysia can be categorised into those that pertain to socio-economics (eg. forestry, agriculture, infrastructure, community livelihood, etc) and those that pertain to protective or conservational purposes (eg. forest, flood mitigation, water supply and as carbon stores). However, threats to peatlands and their values are of great concern due to problems faced as a result of current management practices. One of the main problems faced in peatlands here is the issue of peatland fires, which has contributed to the annually recurring episodes of transboundary haze pollution in the SE Asian region.
Distribution and status of peatlands
Peatlands are mostly found in the states of Selangor, Johor, Perak, Pahang, Sabah and Sarawak. The largest area of peat is found in Sarawak, which is more than 1 million ha. Approximately 50% of the total peatland area in Malaysia is designated as permanent reserves. The remaining areas have been converted for other uses whilst some are still designated as state forests land. Read more >>
Value of peatlands
Peatlands in Malaysia support significant biological diversity. In Peninsular Malaysia, 132 tree species were recorded in an area of 5ha in the Bebar Forest Reserve in Pahang. Read more >>
Threats faced by peatlands
Increasing pressures for land development (e.g. agriculture, infrastructure) have affected peatlands in Malaysia over the past 20 years. A number of these threats directly stem from or are associated to land conversion, especially for agricultural practices, that have been managed in an unsustainable manner. Read more >>

1.1.1 Various types of fumes, smoke, haze and mist may contaminate the cabin and flight deck air supply system. Outside air may be contaminated with engine oil, hydraulic fluid, engine exhaust, ground service vehicle exhaust, fuel, de-icing fluid or ozone. Recirculation fans are another potential source of contaminated air. Also, electrical systems and cabin items such as carry-on baggage, galley equipment and food items, lavatories, cleaning products, disinfectants and disinsectants may contaminate the cabin and/or flight deck air.
1.1.2 Of all of these potential contaminants in the cabin and flight deck, particular concerns have been raised regarding the negative impact on flight safety when crew members are exposed to oil or hydraulic fluid fumes or smoke, and experience acute symptoms in flight. Due to the potential flight safety implications, it is beneficial to provide guidance and instructional material to enable crew members to promptly recognize and respond to suspected air supply system-sourced fumes, as well as to enable aircraft maintenance technicians (AMT) to identify the source of the contaminants and to correct the issue.
1.1.3 At the 38th Session of the Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) invited the Technical Commission to consider the flight safety implications of crew member exposure to oil fumes sourced to the aircraft air supply system. ITF and IFALPA also requested the ICAO Council to develop guidance material to improve awareness and training of flight crew, cabin crew and AMT related to the management of fume events.
1.1.4 The Technical Commission agreed with the intent of the ITF/IFALPA proposal and recommended that the Council review the proposal to develop guidance material. An ad hoc working group composed of subject matter experts from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), ICAO, the International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations (ICCAIA), IFALPA, and the ITF was subsequently tasked with development of the guidance material.

Colombia: Union leaders face death threat
Lee Sustar reports on the background to the death threats made against two union leaders at a major steel tube manufacturer in Colombia.
23 October 2009
This article first appeared in Socialist Worker (US)
TWO UNION leaders representing workers at the important Tenaris steel tube plant in Colombia have received death threats--an urgent matter in a country where at least 40 labor activists have already been murdered this year.
On August 31, Jairo del Rio, Colombia, president of Sindicato de Trabajadores de Tubos del Caribe (SINTRATUCAR, the Tenaris workers' union) and a member of the Socialist Workers Party (the Colombian section of the International Workers League) received the following death threat:
Mr. Jairo del Rio. We want to make it clear that the goals of your union organization are causing a lot of trouble, and that your efforts to speak out against certain things are not in your interests. We would remind you that in this country guerrilla communists like you and your group die fast, so you better stop interfering in things that are not your business. We would like to remind you that you have a beautiful family that you should take care of, even more so with your pregnant wife who leaves home everyday at 5:30 a.m. to take your son to school.
It would be really tragic if something
happened to them because of you. The guerrilla movement in this country
will be destroyed because it will be destroyed, and the guerrillas living
as civilians like you even more so. Take care of you and of yours.
What you can do
E-mail messages calling for the protection of the two union leaders and the workers they represent at Tenaris to:
Mr. Rubén Fidalgo
Copy the message to:
Álvaro Uribe Vélez
Fabio Valencia Cosio
Wolmar Antonio Pérez
The day after, the union's vice president, Deivis Blanco, received a similar threat.
Such efforts to intimidate labor activists in Colombia are commonplace--and death threats are often carried out. According to the International Confederation of Trade Unions, 49 trade unionists were murdered in 2008, 10 more than in 2007, "despite assurances by the administration of Colombian President Álvaro Uribe that the situation was improving," the union federation said in a statement.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
COLOMBIA IS the most dangerous country in the world in which to be a trade unionist. Over the past two decades, a staggering 5,000 union leaders and activists have been murdered.
Responsibility for these killings lies with a shadowy network of employers and right-wing paramilitary groups that claim to fight left-wing guerillas but in fact are involved in the drug trade, and serve as enforcers for big business. Colombian government officials, for their part, do nothing to protect the targeted workers--and local officials sometimes have been implicated in the killings.
The green light for this repression comes from the highest levels of Colombian politics. The U.S. Labor Education in the Americas Project (USLEAP) noted that:
a presidential advisor, José Obdulio Gaviria, suggested in February [2008] that organizers of a march against violence were affiliated with the guerrillas. Several trade unionists reportedly associated with the march were then murdered the week of the march, March 4, prompting a letter of outrage signed by leading U.S. human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
Since Uribe's first full year in office, 2003, more trade unionists have been murdered in Colombia than in the rest of the world combined. Stan Gacek of the AFL-CIO told the IPS news service earlier this year that 95 percent of such killings have gone unsolved and unpunished over the last 23 years. And "if we consider all acts of violence against Colombian unionists since 1986, including not only homicides, but abductions, assaults and torture, for example, the impunity rate soars to 99.9 percent," Gacek said.
The repression has been effective in breaking workers' power. As USLEAP noted, "the rate of unionization in Colombia has been cut by half (from 9.3 percent in 1984 to 4.6 percent in 2005) and the number of workers covered under new collective bargaining agreements has dropped to a fraction of its previous number, falling from 260,000 to 60,000 in the past 10 years."
This violence against workers isn't just carried out by assassins working for small-time local bosses. Many of the victimized employees work at major corporations.
According to Domingo Tovar, secretary general of Colombia's Central Union of Labor (CUT), multinational companies from the U.S., Canada, Spain and Switzerland in "one way or another sponsor paramilitarism and violations of fundamental human rights." Among these companies are U.S.-based Chiquita Brands and Dole, Switzerland's Nestle and Telmex, the Mexican telecommunications giant.
Tenaris, too, is a major global company. It's a multinational corporation that manufactures steel tubes for the energy industry worldwide. Besides its facilities in Colombia, the company has major operations in Argentina and Italy.
At its Cartagena, Colombia plant, Tenaris managers at first had their way with a nonunion workforce. But Jairo del Rio, Deivis Blanco and other workers recently organized to form SINTRATUCAR. In a statement, union officials explained what happened next:
SINTRATUCAR is a union that has, in legal terms, only just been born, as our founding assembly was held on March 15 of this year. And now, by presenting a modest list of demands to the Tenaris Transnational Tubos del Caribe Ltd., we are in a labor dispute, which has not been resolved.
The problem is that we believe that unions should be in direct confrontation with employers in defending the rights and interests of workers--and this is not well received by those who operate clandestinely, or who want to keep workers under the conditions of slavery and exploitation that existed before the union.
What's more, the successful unionization effort at SINTRATUCAR spurred organizing efforts at other workplaces in the city. So the threats to del Rio and Blanco are also intended as a warning to other workers who wish to form unions to defend their rights.
But it's also possible for workers to push back. Multinational corporations are sensitive to allegations that their Colombian managers are involved in the killing of union leaders--and therefore these employers can be pressured to make public statements denying any involvement with such actions. At Tenaris, the workers are considering stopping work for several hours to pressure management.
International solidarity is also key. The SINTRATACUR workers have already received support from important activists, including João Pascoal, coordinator of the National Commission of the Workers at Santander Bank of Portugal; Todd Frayn, president of United Steelworkers Local 9548 in Canada; the National Coordination of Struggle (Conlutas) in Brazil; and, in Peru, Rony Cueto, Secretary General of the Contract Miners of Shougang and José Sandoval Elías, Secretary of Defense for the General Confederation of Labor.
Activists in the U.S. have a special role to play, given that Colombia is in the spotlight over the proposed U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement. Some liberal Democrats in Congress have threatened to hold up approval of the trade deal unless and until Colombia improves its human rights record.
The immediate task is to force Tenaris and the Colombian authorities to do what's necessary to protect del Rio, Blanco and the other workers under threat.
