Dervish pull out of Israel tour after social media 'venom.' Thus screeched a surprisingly short item in The Irish Times of April 4.* It took two skilled journalists to write it. The gist of the tale was that social media mainly on Facebook pressure had caused the well-known and highly-regarded traditional Irish music group to abandon plans to play in Israel. 'Cultural terror,' wailed the Israeli Embassy, presumably with diplomatically straight faces. On the group's website, singer Cathy Jordan had said she had not been prepared for the ' extent of the venom' directed at them over the proposed gig. I was one of those who expressed my utterly venom-free opinion that the band should do as others were doing and refuse to play in Israel. But The Irish Times, picking up on a story that is, in news terms, already old, risked conjuring up images of reptilian cultural killjoys threatening Israel's right to a good night out. Naturally, the Israeli Embassy chewed the bones of this opportunity. Balancing the article, however, was the information that Irish artists have been prominent in the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel. The campaign started in August 2010 and, to date, 218 Irish artists have pledged not to perform in the country, including Damien Dempsey, Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny.
So it's not about reptilian pro-Palestinian types spouting venom, is it? It's about the fact that a called-for boycott has been working, and that a great number of major Irish musicians have snubbed Israel. The Dervish Incident is just a hanger upon which to drop some anti-boycott sentiment. In recent weeks we have seen The Sunday Independent row in with blatantly pro-Israeli features of one kind or other, one from a young Irish film-maker, Nicky Larkin, whose somewhat cyclopean documentary, 'Forty Shades of Grey,' was financed by The Arts Council. The Israeli authorities have long-snce understood that a patina of culture can obscure the nastiness perpetrated against the Palestinian people and their culture and they have sought before now to have Irish writers (for instance) scurry to help them. Now they're showing signs of panic. Sadly, one Irish novelist has at this time accepted an invitation to a prominent Israeli literature festival.
The Israeli state has lost, and very quickly, any moral high-ground it might have possessed: 'Operation Cast Lead' cast up human rights violations and possible war crimes. Increased illegal settlement-building, imprisoning of Palestinian children, army brutality and arrogance in the face of world opinion even some American opinion has isolated Israel more than ever. Culture, often a weapon of panicking aggressive states, was pulled out and dusted down. Many Irish artists said enough is enough. It is difficult to see how Dervish, or any Irish writer or other artist, could have been unaware of the sentiment of their fellows. This topic, of course, would take a more detailed and extensive article than I can offer here. Suffice for the moment to opine that it is curious that any furore at all should arise from alleged pressure applied to an Irish artist or group of artists at this stage to acquire a reversal of a decision to perform in Israel. Or that the print-media should be hurrying to the task of headlining it. Surely the real story is that more than two-hundred Irish artists of all stripes have said 'No' and loudly to Israel's demand for a cultural smokescreen. Besides, why should 'pressure' of any kind be required, when all of us have access to a TV these days? Israel is an aparthied state. Why would one even want to perform there?
Then there are the predictable arguments hurting around the social media. Who are you to tell any artist where to perform? Artists have free will. Art crosses all boundaries. And so on and so forth. Well, Israel has shown us often that art does not cross all boundaries. Authors Henning Mankell and Alice Walker were on board vessels running to the relief of Israeli-induced Palestinian misery when the Israelis took, eh, exception, to such cultural exchanges. A slanted example? No. I don't think so. Israel knew of their presence on board and of their stature as artists. Israel didn't care. Walker was on Freedom Flotilla II, which the then Israeli ambassador to the UN deemed 'a provocation.' Henkell's diary of his trip contains the following passage: The myth of the brave and utterly infallible Israeli soldier is shattered. Now we can add: They are common thieves. For I was not the only one to be robbed of my money, credit card, clothes, MP3 player, laptop; the same happened to many others on the same ship as me, which was attacked early one morning by masked Israeli soldiers, who were thus in fact nothing other than lying pirates."
Let's remind ourselves, then, of what's really going on. Israel's new-found cultural appetite isn't about a night's entertainment in an Israeli concert-hall or theatre. It's about taking the world's mind off, and consequently her sympathies away from, the horrors being inflicted daily on the Palestinian people by the Israeli army and fanatical settlers. It is about the degredation and infamy of an apartheid regime; soldiers who can kill without answering to anyone, commanders who can commit potential war crimes and smile in the face of international law. It's about covering all of this up in tinsel. It's about promoting denial.

Combining a mix of society's last word and both wit and wisdom, The Steeple Times covers food, drink and fine dining as well as luxury, travel, the arts, individuals of influence and current affairs in the United Kingdom, America and elsewhere. We are best described as being akin to "a cross between The Huffington Post and Private Eye".
The magazine's following is affluent, engaged and international. With 41% of readers coming from the UK and 38% from America, The Steeple Times also has strong presence within Canadian, Italian, German and Australian territories.
A list of influence
A ranked assembly of individuals of note along with details of their achievements and quirks.
New York socialite Andrew Warren is known primarily as the best friend of Donald Trump's daughter, Tiffany. With 100,000 followers on Instagram and the creator of the Just Drew fashion brand, he is the son of a real estate investor and also counts fellow trustafarians Kyra Kennedy and Gaia Matisse amongst his 'Snap Pack' entourage.
In August 2017, after bizarrely breaking his right arm in an incident in a Fort Pond, Montauk swimming pool involving an inflatable flamingo, Warren exclaimed: "It is especially hard because I use my right hand to design and for social media."
Previously, in 2016, he modestly remarked: "I don't I should be judged for posting a photo like eating caviar at Claridge's in London while it's okay for someone to post a picture at McDonald's… In the Hamptons, I'll have McDonald's. I'll have days where I go to Six Flags. I venture to Coney Island. I'm not grossed out by anything. My mom likes to go to Ohio. We do things that people wouldn't expect us to do."
He looks like he enjoys a beverage or two. Good boy.
His loyalty to his friend Tiffany Trump is apparent and his message on Instagram about hate shows he is a good guy.
If he works as hard as he plays, he will go far.
What a waste of champagne!
I hope he's profiting from being nice to the Trumps.
His father, as a property professional, should have taught him to be respectful of possessions. He does not look to be a very well behaved young man: Feet on the sofa and spilling champagne everywhere. Off to the naughty cupboard with him please.
His parents must be lovely people.
I know how much you like the Mrs Merton quote about Debbie Daniels. On that basis, one has to ask: What attracted all these wealthy girls to Andrew Warren?
WTF??????????? This bratty oik should not be allowed the man who is MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN's treasured daughter Tifany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way is he good enough for such a beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Send her down under and I'll show her a better time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give the kid a chance.
I know some of his friends and they all say how nice he is.
Is he gay?
When will Donny make Andrew his fashion advisor? Perhaps he could teach him to tie his tie properly.
He sounds like an utter berk.
He should be tipped down a garbage chute.
Good for him for making the most of his life. He plainly loves designing and he also loves partying. So what? He deserves all the success in the world. Get over it you jealous c**ts.
I cannot see what all the fuss is about. He just seems like a blue blood (as Americans call them) with a big balance from doing nothing. Let him have enjoy it whilst it lasts.
A lovely looking laddie.
He's definitely a bit of a practical joker.
I like his style.
Could he not do something a little more useful with his limited time on this planet? Idiot boy.
Cannot fathom why he even features on these pages to be honest.
No style mate. No style at all.

This town on the South of England comes into its own in the summer months. When the temperature reaches the 20's like today, you start dreaming of summer the Southsea kind...walking in the sunshine, picnic in the park and barbecue on the common among others.
As the day stays on longer I begin my summer evening ritual. First I abandon working shoes in favour of flip-flops to walk around the house.
Then I pour myself a long drink. It might be Pimms or Sangria. Something fruity with ice cubes. Sangria is simply 1/3 glass of wine, topped up with fruit juice and a bit of tonic to jazz it up.
It's time to enjoy the garden, either admiring the flowers, picking summer fruit or just sitting there with a book until it's dinner time.
Summer meals should not be something complicated. Today's grilled lamb brochettes took minutes to cook and eaten with the equally speedy couscous mixed with caramelised onion.
Maximise your time outdoors!

I remember walking out in the beautiful but cold afternoon, quite certain I could have some decent photos taken! Monica is a custom blythe lovingly created by Ellis of WabiSabiDolls. She is definitely my current go to when I want to grab a blythe doll out for photos and such :)
The irony of this series of photos is that for some reason I didn't take too much at the location I wanted to due to the sunlight being unfavourable for a nice shoot ^^; The light was quite strong and the angle was odd which cast a lot of harsh shadows on Monica's face.
So I ended up walking around trying to find other backdrops ^^; Monica is wearing clothes which I had made, the caplet is a test version so the fit still can be adjusted, perhaps in future >_<;
Came across this large Holly bush, feels perfect except it's not Christmas anymore XD
Match her caplet well tho!
Bonus plum picture :D It's one of my favourite variety ^o^
These photos are taken on 22 February, when my spidey senses told me that the earlier spring blossoms were coming out! It was still quite cold at the time that was why I dressed Mirai as appropriately as I could manage ^^ Unfortunately I couldn't get more of the lovely pink fabric used for the caplet… >_<;

The Democratic Candidates for Governor in Virginia Squabble Over Fundraising
AGREEING AS they do on most (though not all) issues, the three Democratic candidates for Virginia governor have taken to arguing about fundraising. If you believe the campaigns, Terry McAuliffe has too much money from out-of-state donors, Brian Moran has too much money from defense firms, and R. Creigh Deeds . . . well, he's a nice enough guy, but he just won't be able to raise enough. The attacks have accelerated as each candidate has struggled to break from the pack; most polls show a competitive race for the June 9 primary.
In terms of electability, money isn't much of an issue: Each candidate has enough to be competitive in the primary, and whoever emerges will have plenty of funding to take on Republican Bob McDonnell, the state's former attorney general. With only this and
the New Jersey governor's race to focus
on in this off year, both national parties will be generous.
The barbs continue, though, as a surrogate for critiques that the candidates are reluctant to make directly. The subtext of the attacks is that Mr. McAuliffe is a carpetbagger, Mr. Moran is a lightweight riding on his big brother's coattails, and Mr. Deeds is a country lawyer who can't play in the big leagues.
Mr. Deeds, a state senator from rural Bath County, and Mr. Moran, a former state delegate from Alexandria, have chided Mr. McAuliffe for raising the bulk of his money outside Virginia. Mr. McAuliffe, former head of the Democratic National Committee, has jetted across the country to raise funds; more than 80 percent of the $4.2 million he raked in during the first three months of the year came from out-of-state donors. By comparison, more than 90 percent of donations to Mr. Moran and Mr. Deeds were from Virginians. Mr. Deeds and Mr. Moran keep pushing the issue to raise a deeper question: Can someone who has lived in McLean for roughly 20 years but shown minimal interest in state politics be an effective governor?
Mr. Deeds, meanwhile, charges that Mr. Moran received money from "tainted" defense contractors that have business before his brother, Rep. James P. Moran (D-Va.), a member of the House Appropriations Committee. While it is fair to ask whether contributors to Brian Moran's campaign are currying favor with his influential brother, it is worth noting that the firms are Virginia businesses that have donated to candidates before. For example, they gave more than $250,000 to Timothy M. Kaine's gubernatorial campaign, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.
The Moran campaign counters that Mr. Deeds has solicited money from the same sources, only with less success. That plays into questions of whether Mr. Deeds could be competitive with a well-funded Republican in the general election. While Mr. McAuliffe was raising his $4.2 million, Mr. Moran brought in $800,000 and Mr. Deeds, hampered by a state law that bars fundraising during the General Assembly session, exceeded expectations by raising $730,000. Mr. Deeds also has more cash on hand than Mr. Moran has.
None of the caricatures underlying the attacks is entirely fair. It's true that Mr. McAuliffe came lately to Virginia politics, but he is a quick study who has immersed himself in the issues. Mr. Moran has a long record in Richmond independent of his brother. And Mr. Deeds, his aw-shucks manner notwithstanding, is a legislator of substance and former prosecutor with a keen understanding of issues important to Northern Virginia.

The short-term rental market is one of the hottest segments in real estate and property management. According to HomeAway, an online marketplace for vacation rentals, listings have increased 44% since 2009. Real estate agents, property managers and independent property owners are all vying for a piece of this pie. But, do the rewards outweigh the risks?
We wrote this guide to help independent property owners and small property management groups understand the pros and cons of short-term or vacation rentals. Here we present four risks and rewards to help you determine the best option for your property.
Four Risks
1.Hidden Costs – Short-term rentals are a different breed; they have many costs that traditional long-term rentals don't have. These behind-the-scenes costs can include everything from replacing furniture to landscaping the lawn to supplying toilet paper. In essence, they're more like hotels than rental properties. Here's a quick list of common unforeseen costs:
- Maintenance – garden and lawn irrigation, pool maintenance, pest control, HVAC maintenance
- Utilities – cable, electricity, Internet, telephone, etc
- Upkeep – housecleaning, toiletries, replacing appliances, carpet cleaning
- Annual fees – taxes, insurance, property management fees, license fees
You should also consider what it will cost to advertise and promote your property. Jay Reynolds, owner of VacationCake.com and a founding member of the Austin Rental Alliance, says annual advertising costs can be $1,000 or more per property.
This is just a sample of the expenses you may encounter over the lifetime of a short-term rental. You should carefully consider costs when you start your investment analysis, and you'll obviously want to ensure your revenue outweighs expenses.
2. Competition – Maybe we should call this an important consideration rather than a risk. Regardless, you will need to research your competition before buying your next rental property (or converting your existing rental). Short-term rentals are showing up in all regions across the country, even in the most unlikely places. You can improve your odds of success by choosing the right city from the get go. Or if you already own a property, you can differentiate your rental by offering unique amenities that others don't offer.
A quick way to to gauge competition is to visit an online vacation rental website such as HomeAway or Airbnb. Choose your state and city, then track how many properties are already listed. For reference, here's a list of the fastest growing markets provided by HomeAway. Percentages in the growth column represent year over year growth from Q2 of 2010 to Q2 of 2011.
|# of Listings
|Venice, FL
|Fort Morgan, AL
|Indio, CA
|Miramar Beach, FL
|Port Aransas, TX
|Carillon Beach, FL
|Charlottesville, VA
|Sonoma, CA
|Rockport, TX
|Sunnyside, FL
During this process you should review competitors' properties. What amenities or unique features do they offer? How do they differentiate themselves? Is the property eco-efficient? Does it include sports equipment such as bicycles or kayaks? Even simple things such as a fridge stocked with local produce or pastries might attract visitors.
3. Restrictions – A new risk to short-term rental owners is the possibility of rental restrictions. New York City, Chicago and many other cities are introducing laws that ban or put special restrictions on rentals under 30 days. Increased noise and traffic, growth in dicey quasi hotels and negative impacts to limited housing supplies are all reasons for the restrictions.
These restrictions are putting a major roadblock in the way of the fast-growing short-term rental market. And it should be a serious consideration if you're thinking about running your own. After all, you don't want to get stuck with an illegal investment, now or in the future. So plan ahead, and do your due diligence. Be sure to identify municipal or neighborhood proposals to restrict short-term rentals.
4. Community Risks – In addition to your business risks, short-term rentals may pose risks to your community. Crime is the most obvious and most often discussed. Short-term rentals have received negative media attention this year as a few properties were ransacked by tenants. Traffic, parking and noise are other problems that have many neighborhoods balking at the idea of converting more properties into short-term rentals. Finally, there are also less obvious risks. Short-term rentals may:
- Reduce the housing available for locals
- Dilute neighborhood culture and characteristics
- Create unfair competition to the hotel industry
So don't forget to review and address community risks. You already have enough business challenges to manage; you won't want your neighbors and city gunning for you too.
Four Rewards
1. Income – It's no secret that nightly and/or weekly rates of short-term rentals can be significantly higher than that of traditional rentals. In some cases you may be able to generate as much as 25% of your mortgage in one night. Here in Austin, for example, we have music festivals that attract thousands of visitors every year. As hotels fill up, many of these concert goers consider short-term rentals as an alternative option. Prices skyrocket during these events with nightly rates rounding off at $1,250 (depending on location and number of rooms). This increased revenue can make up for slower rental periods throughout the year.
Another unique opportunity for short-term rental owners is the corporate market. You may be able to promote your property to large corporations that have offices in your area. For example, on the outskirts of Austin there are several large office complexes occupied by Fortune 500 companies. There are few short-term accommodations available in this area. So, short-term rental owners could promote their home-away-from-home features such as a full kitchen, a backyard for pets and more, to attract these customers.
2. Preservation – This isn't as widely discussed as other perks, but property owners wishing to preserve the historic or sentimental value of a property may have more success with short-term renters. Unlike long-term renters, they are not responsible for furnishing a property or taking care of maintenance. So, you won't have to worry about someone forgetting to replace an air filter, putting holes in the walls with paintings, letting the lawn get out of control or causing pest problems. Sue Long, a founding member of the Austin Rental Alliance, prefers renting short-term rather than long-term for this very reason.
"I do it for the love of the house that I saved from being demolished. This house sat on a lot next door to the house my father was born in in 1914. We have such a cool neighborhood and I want people from out of town to have that experience. I don't want someone in there for a whole year who won't respect it or take care of it the way I do."
3. Tax Breaks – Short-term rental owners are eligible to receive many types of tax breaks. For starters, they may be able to deduct operating, advertising and other expenses such as education costs (i.e. seminars on how to rent vacation homes) and income tax preparation. The biggest break, however, is for owners that rent their property less than 14 days a year. These owners don't have to pay any tax on the rental income; they don't even have to report it. If you rent the property more than 15 days a year, however, the revenue must be reported as income. Working with a tax professional is advised.
As a final tip, if you have generated more revenue than expected this year, you could offset this by making year-end, tax deductible purchases. This could include everything from replacing furnishings to hiring a professional photographer or copywriter to help with advertising to buying large-ticket items like a hot tub. HomeAway has a short tutorial about year-end tax considerations.
4. Community Rewards – While short-term rentals have community risks, they also present community rewards. For example, proponents believe short-term rentals promote tourism in a community. Most short-term property advertisements will publicize the features of the property, but also the unique events and attractions of the community. Additionally, short-term rentals provide more tourist capacity in areas with few hotel options or during events and peak periods.
Short-term rentals may also increase the property values in a neighborhood. Property owners managing short-term rentals must keep their properties well-manicured, attended to and make regular, beautifying improvements in order to remain competitive in their market. Some believe this leads to higher property values in neighborhoods, which is beneficial to other homeowners.
So there you have it. Short-term rentals may be a viable option for your property, but be sure to carefully weigh the risks and rewards beforehand. If you have experience renting out a short-term property, feel free to share your tips and anecdotes below.

Particularly down the red carpet when Lupita Nyong'o wore that stunning red cape dress at the red carpet at the Golden Globes in 2014 and catapulted herself into a global fashion icon. I actually almost wore a removable cape to my wedding dress last year, so I am definitely a fan. This winter is easier than ever to give the look a go. Opting for a black cape is always the safest option as you can be guaranteed it will work well with your other wardrobe staples and alongside popular winter colours of khaki, denim and white. For those of you that want to mix it up, grey, camel and stripe patterns work well. So which to buy? If you opt for a cropped cape coat, then wear it with shorter skirts. $iColumn++ ?> If your cape has plenty of fabric and folds (perfect for those cold days to come), then counterbalance the volume with a pencil skirt. My perfectly tailored cape has a shorter front with longer black, which is right up my alley because it means I can style it with my favourite skinny leg jeans or these leather look khaki jeggings which are a perfect alternative to denim because they look tight but are super comfy. This cape is a fantastic layering piece as the shorter hemline means my favourite knit and skirt layers can be seen underneath. Don't be scared to give the cape coat a go this winter. $iColumn++ ?> $iRow++; ?> Wearing: French Connection Winter Cape, Pippa Polo and Leather Look Jeggings* Celine Bag, Chloe Shoes.

Here we present the results from an intercomparison of multiple global gridded crop models (GGCMs) within the framework of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project and the Inter-Sectoral Impacts Model Intercomparison Project. Results indicate strong negative effects of climate change, especially at higher levels of warming and at low latitudes; models that include explicit nitrogen stress project more severe impacts. Across seven GGCMs, five global climate models, and four representative concentration pathways, model agreement on direction of yield changes is found in many major agricultural regions at both low and high latitudes; however, reducing uncertainty in sign of response in mid-latitude regions remains a challenge. Uncertainties related to the representation of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and high temperature effects demonstrated here show that further research is urgently needed to better understand effects of climate change on agricultural production and to devise targeted adaptation strategies.

Models play an important role in elaborating as well as calculating future scenarios for the Nature Outlook 2010-2040 proj'ect. In contrast with earlier editions, no process models were used in this outlook for assessing the effects of a possible future scenario on nature policy. More simplified dose-effect models were used instead in order to examine the impact of normative scenarios, based on dominant societal challenges for nature policy. Relevance to policy makers was of primary concern in order for the results to contribute to the discussion regarding the goals of future policy. This article treats the way models were used in the Nature Outlook 2010-2040 project and evaluates the added value of this approach compared to that of earlier outlooks. Consequences of specific choices become clear so that cause-effect relations between challenges can be distinguished. This provides building blocks for future policy and therefore enhances the relevance of the results. These should however be critically assessed as the applied models greatly simplify reality.

We present results from multiple comprehensive models used to simulate an aggressive mitigation scenario based on detailed results of an Integrated Assessment Model. The experiment employs ten global climate and Earth System models (GCMs and ESMs) and pioneers elements of the long-term experimental design for the forthcoming 5th Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment. Atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentrations pathways rather than carbon emissions are specified in all models, including five ESMs that contain interactive carbon cycles. Specified forcings also include minor greenhouse gas concentration pathways, ozone concentration, aerosols (via concentrations or precursor emissions) and land use change (in five models). The new aggressive mitigation scenario (E1), constructed using an integrated assessment model (IMAGE 2. 4) with reduced fossil fuel use for energy production aimed at stabilizing global warming below 2 K, is studied alongside the medium-high non-mitigation scenario SRES A1B. Resulting twenty-first century global mean warming and precipitation changes for A1B are broadly consistent with previous studies. In E1 twenty-first century global warming remains below 2 K in most models, but global mean precipitation changes are higher than in A1B up to 2065 and consistently higher per degree of warming. The spread in global temperature and precipitation responses is partly attributable to inter-model variations in aerosol loading and representations of aerosol-related radiative forcing effects. Our study illustrates that the benefits of mitigation will not be realised in temperature terms until several decades after emissions reductions begin, and may vary considerably between regions. A subset of the models containing integrated carbon cycles agree that land and ocean sinks remove roughly half of present day anthropogenic carbon emissions from the atmosphere, and that anthropogenic carbon emissions must decrease by at least 50% by 2050 relative to 1990, with further large reductions needed beyond that to achieve the E1 concentrations pathway. Negative allowable anthropogenic carbon emissions at and beyond 2100 cannot be ruled out for the E1 scenario. There is self-consistency between the multi-model ensemble of allowable anthropogenic carbon emissions and the E1 scenario emissions from IMAGE 2. 4. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Integrated models are important tools to investigate the interactions between planetary processes and the growing impacts of human populations - in short: global change. Current models still have significant shortcomings, notably in their representation of socio-economic processes and the feedbacks between these and the environmental system. They are also often not designed with sufficient transparency to enable participation of interested parties or effective communication with stakeholders and policy makers. These deficiencies are discussed and possible directions for improvement are identified. This Thematic Issue provides a collection of papers that offer a number of innovative ideas for remedying these shortcomings using novel methods and approaches. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Coastal dune grasslands are under threat mainly due to grass and shrub encroachment. A surplus of nitrogen is an important factor. At the beginning of the last century the nitrogen load was about 5 kg ha-1 year -1. Because of agriculture, industry and traffic the amount of nitrogen went up to about 45 kg. The last twenty years it has been reduced to 30 kg ha-1 year-1 or a bit lower. Recent papers state that the critical load in 62% of the dune area is met. Dune managers and researchers are not convinced due to the continuing process of grass encroachment. Because of an intensified monitoring network, especially in and along the coastal area, this could be proven. There is an additional 6 kg ha-1 year -1, which has to be taken in consideration. The sea and especially the waters along the beach along the mainland coast and on the Wadden sea produce ammonium vapour, partially from organic origin. Another problem which has to be addressed is the accumulation of organic matter in the soil profile, which probably accumulated in higher amounts than under low nitrogen conditions. This heritage has to be taken into account when management measures are taken. Cattle grazing practices might not be sufficient to maintain the (European) goals for dune grasslands (grey dunes).

The Nature Outlook 2010-2040 was produced by applying the scenario approach. The outlook explores some alternative directions in which nature policy may evolve in the long term and the implications of this for nature policy in the short term. The subsequent parts of the scenario study enable policy makers to gradually gain insight into alternative desirable futures of nature and alternative policy strategies to realize them. This is further stimulated by the character of the scenarios, which contain not only qualitative storylines, but also concrete images and quantitative information. In order to build such scenarios various methods were applied, like model calculations, scenario workshops, and design activities. By participating in the scenario study, policy makers not only provided valuable insights but also became more receptive for the results.

In this paper we present a stylized economy-energy-climate model and discuss the role of the atmosphere, fossil fuels, and a stock of accumulated knowledge about renewable energy technologies in collaboratively and competitively managed worlds. The model highlights that assumptions about the 'degree of competition' and about choices of lumping economic regions, and hence their heterogeneity, strongly affect model predictions about the rate of fossil fuel use and, consequently, the rate of climate change.In the model, decisionmakers (actors) make decisions about investment allocations into the goods producing economy and into carbon-based and non-carbon-based (renewable) energy supply, the remainder being for consumption. Actors are faced with the following dilemma situation.Economic growth requires energy and will therefore accelerate fossil fuel depletion and generate growth in carbon emissions, the latter leading to global warming and climate change induced damages. By developing non-carbon energy sources, which come initially at a higher cost than fossil fuels, growth of carbon emissions can be curtailed. Trying to optimize a consumption-related utility, actors base their decisions on the economically most rational investment portfolio for a finite time horizon. However, in their decisionmaking, they are constrained by the choices of other actors.We consider two prototypical situations: (i) a collaborative environment where all actors strive to maximize a world utility - the global optimum - and (ii) a situation where actors optimize the utility of their own country - a solution that corresponds to a Nash equilibrium. The difference between both outcomes can be used to classify the severity of the 'tragedy of the commons effect'. We present results about the dependence of the severity of this effect on several key parameters (i) the number of actors, (ii) the heterogeneity and severity of expected climate damages, (iii) assumptions about technology diffusion and (iv) fossil fuel depletion. © 2012 .

The Nature Outlook is one of the regular products of PBL Netherlands Environmental Agency. For the present Outlook there has been quite a lot of interaction between researchers and policy makers and societal groups. Ideas that have been developed during the process of making the Outlook, have been incorporated in policy deliberations. Especially the input of PBL in the IBO-Natuur and Heroverweging policy processes is discussed. The various roles enacted by PBL in these policy processes, are characterised using our own typology.

It is important that a future study like the Nature Outlook of PBL acknowledges developments in politics and society. These form the embedding of the Outlook. Therefore it is instrumental to study the developments that have taken place before and during the execution of the Nature Oudook and to establish the way in which they influence its reception and use. Since the cabinet Rutte got into office, the politicization of nature policy in the Netherlands has become manifest. In this article a sketch of the situation is presented and some possible explanations for this politicization are discussed. Next the choices made in the development process of the Nature Outlook are presented. Discussions about the aims of nature policy played an important role in that respect. Finally the question whether this Outlook provides an adequate response to the politicized situation, will be answered.

Bigger doesn't always mean better. With silencers the general rule of thumb is that the larger the internal volume of the can, the better sound suppression you're going to get, but there's definitely a point where increased volume gets you diminishing returns. For example, slapping a Mystic-X on your Ruger handgun makes the thing whisper quiet, but the size of the can looks awkward and makes the gun a little front heavy. For the shooter who's looking for a slimmer solution to their rimfire suppression needs, Liberty Suppressors presents the Kodiak TL . . .
As a preface, I want to point out that this is not a typical TTAG review. We usually reserve judgment until we've put at least a couple hundred rounds through something and tried it out in different conditions. Unfortunately the BATFE here in the U.S. prevents us from getting our hands on silencers for protracted testing unless we go through months of waiting, spend $200 per transfer, and live in certain states. It's annoying, impractical and cumbersome.
Luckily, though, I recently had a chance to visit the folks at Liberty Suppressors and test all of their cans under their supervision. While the tests may not be as extensive as we would conduct in a standard review, I feel that they were sufficient to allow me to form an educated opinion on the product.
When you're talking about a rimfire suppressor, there are three things that a buyer will look for: ease of cleaning, suppression, and weight — in that order.
Cleaning a rimfire can is more important than with any other caliber simply because rimfire ammunition is about the dirtiest stuff you can imagine — other than J-Roc's amateur videos. Rimfire ammo leaves more carbon residue, lead dust, and even unburnt powder in the baffles than any other type of ammunition, and getting all that crap out of your can is essential to keeping it running and functional for years to come.
Just about every rimfire silencer on the market these days is designed to be disassembled by the end user for cleaning, but some do it better than others. For example, the AAC Pilot 2 uses a standard "K baffle" design with interlocking cups that makes for great sound suppression, but is a royal pain in the ass to clean. Disassembly also can be problematic, requiring a proprietary tool to remove the end cap and then you need to push all the baffles out of the tube before cleaning (they can get stuck after excessive range trips).
By comparison, the Kodiak TL is a pleasure to disassemble. The end cap is designed such that it can be cranked off using either the Liberty-designed removal tool — or really any old piece of scrap metal will do. Once free, you can either use the Liberty-designed baffle stack holder (that threads into the rear of the stack) or just push it out with whatever is at hand. The Kodiak TL allows you options.
Once the outer sheath has been removed, the monolithic core is fully accessible for cleaning. Just hit it with a hose or your favorite cleaning fluids, let it dry, re-assemble it and you're good to go. Much easier than trying to individually clean the K baffles in the Pilot 2.
Being easy to clean is nice, but the real test of a silencer is how well it performs its eponymous job. In the case of the Kodiak TL, the answer is pretty damned well. Liberty claims that the can will run under 120 dB even for the louder first round pop, but out on the range it sounded almost whisper quiet. As good if not better than anything I've tested.
Where we start to run into a problem is with the Kodiak TL's size and pricing. Take, for example, AAC's Prodigy silencer — a can which is currently waiting on a form 4 for me at my local FFL. The Prodigy is easier to disassemble, shorter, weighs half as much, and costs $70 less. But while the Prodigy is a dedicated .22LR only silencer, the Kodiak TL is rated to also accept 17 HMR and 22 WMR. So there's a definite trade-off when comparing the two silencers, and deciding which one works best for you is all about figuring out which one best suits your needs and shooting style. In the long run, though, the added weight and size seems to me to be an acceptable trade-off for the vastly expanded ballistic repertoire.
In the end, it all depends on what you want. If you need the lightest and smallest silencer possible for your Ruger .22LR handgun, this isn't it. The Kodiak TL is definitely smaller and lighter than any of the centerfire pistol silencers on the market, but it's heavier than AAC's Prodigy. Then again, the Prodigy can't handle anything above .22LR while the Kodiak TL is capable of much more. For me, the Kodiak TL wins the day due to the greater utility of the device. Then again, your preference may vary.
Liberty Kodiak TL
Length: 6.5″
Weight: 6.3oz
Diameter: 1″
Sound Reduction: 41 dB
Ratings (out of five stars):
Sound Suppression: * * * * (*)
There's an asterisk next to the asterisks here. For the first round, the sound suppression is at about a 4-star level – just about as quiet as anything else I've fired. And believe it or not, I've fired my fair share of .22LR silencers in my day. But from the second round on this thing is just unbelievable. 5/5 once the oxygen is gone. I'm pretty sure you couldn't make it any quieter.
Build Quality: * * * * *
A solid monocore design for the baffle stack means an easy-to-disassemble silencer and a solid chunky feeling to the whole can. Overall it feels like this thing has been over-engineered and looks great.
Ease of Use: * * * * *
Cleaning might require some tools to get the can apart, but once you break the seal everything is very easy to clean.
Overall Rating: * * * *
It's heavier and more expensive than the AAC Prodigy, but it has a wider array of calibers it will work with. I like it.
21 Responses to Gear Review: Liberty Suppressors' Kodiak TL Silencer
Looks impressive, but doesn't meet my criteria of 80-85% noise reduction.
Is that an area under the curve measurement or a more linear 80-85%.
Good luck.
Sure it does. Double or twice the sensed loudness of something is roughly 10dB increments.
An unsuppressed 22LR pistol is almost 160dB. A quality silencer brings it down to about 120dB. That's a HUGE 40dB noise reduction…. way beyond your "80-85% requirement."
Decibels are a logarithmic scale. For every ten decibels you go up the scale the "loudness" of the sound increases tenfold. Likewise, every ten decibels down the scale corresponds to a 90% reduction in sound.
Most silencers reduce the sound level of a firearm by 20-40dBa corresponding to a sound reduction of approximately 99-99.99%
Every single firearm silencer on the market meets your criteria. What you really should be looking at are hearing safe volume levels. According to OSHA instant hearing damage occurs at sound levels above 140dBa, so any silencer that reduces the sound of a shot below this level is "hearing safe" for short periods of time. Of course, the lower the dBa rating the more exposure you can tolerate before experiencing permanent damage.
Just to put that in perspective, a silencer like you proposed, with an 80-85% reduction in sound level would take a firearm from the 160-165dBa range to the mid 150s, still very much not hearing safe.
We need to get a grassroots effort to seriously push the silencer off the NFA list. We should emphasize they are completely legal and unregulated in places like the UK. Show some pictures with Teddy Roosevelt with a silencer on his rifle.
Its starts by normalizing them so everyone needs to buy a silencer.
If it were any product other than a firearm, silencers wouldn't just be unregulated, they'd be required by law.
They are called mufflers
For the suppressor illiterate, why is the first round louder than the others?
I'm not an expert – they say it is the oxygen in the can. I guess when the round is fired there is more oxygen available to burn any unused powder inside the can?
First Round Pop(FRP) is loudest in monocores. My Element 2, and Spectre II sound the same, from first to last shot, but they use K, and CTA baffles respectively.
Point of contention: aluminum is a pain in the ass to clean. No caustic chemicals, no ultrasonic, you are left with soda blasting and even that is a time bomb of failed materials (eventually)
Friends don't let friends but non-user-serviceable cans and friends unfriend friends who buy aluminum-baffled cans.
Nick, make sure you clean your prodigy after every 200rds. Or you will eventually wonder why it keeps getting louder.
Does TTAG have an article comparing all or many of the currently available .22 silencer/suppressors? I'll be starting my stamp collection next year with a silencerco sparrow I think, though some of these reviews might change my mind.
It's great that TTAG does mention silencers every so often, but for way deeper research head over to Silencertalk.
And the Sparrow is a great can! Generally THE best 22LR silencer on the market. But I actually recommend something like the Mystic X as a first can. That way you can start enjoying shooting multiple calibers right away, instead of being stuck on just 22LR for quite another while.
I have no experience with Mystic but I can safely say that you can't go wrong with either the Sparrow or Spectre II. They're both multi caliber rated (up to 5.7×28) and easy to clean. I'd lean towards the Spectre because it offers the same performance for $100 less, though it's a bit longer and heavier.
I liked the review, but disagree with the importance of cleaning on all cans. Look at the Thunderbeast rimfire cans. Because they are non-user-serviceable, they are made to tighter tolerances. If you really must clean, send it to them and they will clean it once a year for free. Read the literature. I have thousands of rounds through my 22-1, and it's never been cleaned.
Yup you guys totally skipped over the benefit of stainless steel and how much of a pain aluminum baffles are to clean.
Been enjoying trailer park boys on Netflix, have you?

9.6 lbs, took 12 hrs. Stayed at 230* for most of the time, rose to 270* after a while and I couldn't get it back down, even with all intakes closed. I should have wrapped a little earlier, didn't get to it till 175*. The burnt ends turned out great. Now I need to work on slicing and getting a finishing sauce for rub...and paying more attention to the temps.
