I am pretty sure that every single person that is alive right now has experienced bullying in one way or another. Because of the progression of the internet, it has become so much easier, with there not really being a safe place that we can hide from. It can take so many different forms whether it is physical, mental, emotional or verbal. And every single one of them are really bad on a person.
Noun – A person who habitually seeks to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable. 'He is a ranting, domineering bully'.
Verb – Seek to harm, intimidate, or coerce (someone perceived as vulnerable) 'her 11- year-old son has been constantly bullied at school', 'a local man was bullied into helping them' – https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/bully
I was in primary school when I first started to get bullied. In fact, I was bullied relentlessly in primary school, and the first of my two secondary schools. I hate to write my next statement but I then in turn became a bully. I will never say that it was because I was a horrible person, because I'm not. I just got sick of being the one getting attacked especially for things that was no others concern. So, to every single person I ever belittled in my childhood, to those that I made feel worse about themselves, to those that I made dread to come to school, I'm more sorry than you will ever know! I should never have taken my frustration out on you because you weren't the ones responsible for the years of abuse I got, and you never deserved my retaliation.
I was bullied from an early age because of my name and then when they found out about my home life, it just got worse. I come from a single parent background, grew up and still live in a council house, with severally autistic brothers who I would defend until my last breath. I have had every dig, every joke and every comment possible in regards to having a car name. That wasn't bad. I can handle the comments about my name, after all, they just didn't like the fact they had boring names and my parents had a bit of creativity in their choice… well my dad did, my mum let him choose my name and here I am, with the name Ferrari that I have had pretty much all my life. What I couldn't handle was them making comments about my family, saying how my brothers must have been inbred because of their disability, saying how my family were low and scum because of where we grew up and because none of us every had the latest toys or trainers.
Now, before I learnt what a back bone was, I took all the bullying personally. I mean I had enough going on at home that meant anything else on top of that was enough to weigh me down. School and seeing my friends were my escape from a less than perfect home life and to experience bullying was awful. I had this best friend who I called 'blue eyes' and he was my best friend during my primary school days, right up until I moved a few months before my 12th birthday and I honestly could never thank him enough. We used to hang out every day after school, in the square by his house. One of the girls that used to hang around with us, told him that he shouldn't be my friend because I'm a skank and poor and blah blah blah… Funnily enough, her whole family hated my family and I couldn't ever work out why… He was probably my first ever true friend because he never paid attention to what she said, he didn't care if she didn't like me because I was his friend and that's all that mattered. We still keep in contact today.
I was lucky. Although I was bullied, it was all verbal. They never hurt me physically which is a positive thing. But emotionally, I was exhausted. When I started secondary school, one of the girls that was bullying me in primary, went to the same school as me. This meant that I got bullied from a whole new group of girls. All the words, all the taunts, all the nastiness, had worked me up to the point I didn't want to go to school. However, it was never physical. By the time I had moved to the second of my two schools, I had become a bitch. The company I kept wasn't exactly the most friendliest and if she hated someone, you generally had to hate them too. It was during my time at secondary school that bullying took on a whole different level.
I had so many rumours going round the school, some started by people I thought were friends and others started by people that wished they had my attention. According to the rumours, I had slept with most of my hometown (still isn't true), I had apparently slept with my step brother (again, another lie. I don't even have a step brother). I had all these different lies made up by people who had nothing better to do. It got worse when social media became a big thing. There were new ways to broadcast my alleged life, even with most of it being bullshit. I had people trying to put me down and make me feel like shit because of things I hadn't done. I would get called fat and ugly, incest, a slut, a whore, a homewrecker, an attention seeker, and although they were all just words, they grated on me and slowly destroyed my self confidence and I still don't really have it back. I mean my best friend used to call me fat and tell me I had saggy boobs and bum all the time, she told me how I was a slut because I had sex a lot, but why did it really matter to her? I mean she was the one who started the rumour that I slept with my step brother, she was also the one who tried a few times to break up me and my ex, even slept with him herself… She was still my best friend until a few years ago. However, she would have you believe that I'm the negative person. Turns out, my best friend had been manipulating me for years, knocking me down as much as she could to make herself better, and I helped her because I thought she was right. I thought she was the best and she really wasn't.
I was lucky in the sense that I always knew who my bullies were. I didn't have to worry about my online presence so much, because it was relatively new. I mean there were platforms that was asking for trouble but I tried to stay away from them. My bullies never attacked me physically, but they did damage the person I thought I was. For a long time, I would avoid those people because they always brought negative emotions. Loads of people, especially school children now are experiencing bullying and most of it is coming from behind a computer. This now means that people aren't safe in their own homes because they can still be victimised.
I said earlier that I had bullied a few people and even though it was never intentional and I didn't set out to hurt them, I just had a vicious tongue that I know how to use to attack people and that's a bad thing. I had stood there and watched as my 'friends' would make jokes about people and id laugh and agree. I was a bitch for that and I am so sorry. I should have known better but I still helped to make your day worse. And I will carry that around with me because those people didn't deserve to feel like shit because I was being bullied. Being bullied is not an excuse to bully others.
Recently, I saw that a girl who used to make comments about me, has been receiving them herself and my heart felt sorry for her. Nobody deserves to get bullied or harassed for things that are of no concern for anyone else. No one deserves to feel like they aren't worthy of being alive or appreciated. You are! Just because someone has developed an opinion on you, doesn't make it true. Their opinions on who you are and how you live your life don't matter, as long as you are happy with it. So what can we do to change it?
- Be careful of the words you use in anger. Because those words could be the dagger someone needed to quit.
- If you have nothing nice to say, then don't talk. If you can't better someone's life, then don't add to it at all.
- Don't let other people dertermine how you feel about yourself. You are a light to someone and they need you.
- Just because people are pricks to you, doesn't mean that you deserve it nor does it mean that the whole world will treat you that way. The opinions of a few don't matter.
- Trust and love yourself! Because, you are one hell of person! You have emotions and beauty. You have hope and desire. You have the power to change the world, so don't let that change be a negative one.
Be a positive change in this world. Because your words, your actions and your choices will have an affect on others.

New information indicating that men taking Viagra for erectile dysfunction may have an increased risk of developing melanoma, a deadly type of skin cancer, has raised serious concerns about whether the possible benefits of the medications justify the potential risk. Researchers have hypothesized that Viagra lowers levels of a cancer-fighting protein called PDE5A, which results in melanoma skin cancer cells becoming more invasive in the body. If you believe you have been adversely affected by melanoma side effects of Viagra, our consumer advocates at the Consumer Justice Foundation can help. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of consumes harmed by dangerous medications, and can put you in touch with an attorney who has experience handling Viagra cancer claims.
Viagra (sildenafil) was developed by Pfizer in 1998, and has since become one of the most widely used erectile dysfunction drugs in the United States. Viagra's popularity is due at least in part to Pfizer's aggressive marketing of the medication as a safe and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, which causes men to experience sexual problems, like the inability to maintain an erection. In spite of these claims though, researchers from Harvard Medical School published a study earlier this year indicating that men who took Viagra were a whopping 84% more likely to be diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer, compared to men who do not take the medication.
According to FDA regulations, every medication on the market must have benefits that outweigh any risks associated with the drug, in order to be approved for consumer use. While Viagara has been shown to aid some men with erectile dysfunction in achieving erections, the drug doesn't actually treat any underlying causes of the condition, which may range from stress to anxiety or aging. Furthermore, while erectile dysfunction itself doesn't pose any physical risk for men, the drug used to treat the condition may expose users to melanoma skin cancer and even death. In most cases where the FDA allows potentially dangerous drugs to stay on the market, it's because they combat even more severe health conditions. However, this is not the case with Viagra.
The American Cancer Society indicates that melanoma is diagnosed in approximately 69,000 Americans every year, causing about 8,650 deaths annually. Since the potential risk of melanoma cancer with Viagra treatment came to light, critics have raised questions about how Pfizer failed to detect and warn users about this potentially deadly risk. If you took Viagra to treat impotence or erectile dysfunction, and you have since suffered from a serious side effect like melanoma, contact an experienced Viagra attorney today for legal help. You may have grounds to file a Viagra lawsuit against Pfizer, in order to pursue financial compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.

Susu and Sons – fashion mall is one of the new branches for the Susu and Sons burger shop in Tel-aviv, serving signature burgers similar to the rest of the chain.
The fashion mall branch is a pretty small restaurant, offering a bar sitting and an outdoor sitting in the form of a few tables on the sidewalk. The concept is pretty much the same, all hamburgers come in a 120 grams size and you can chose how many burgers in a bun, single, double or triple.
The variations between the burger meals are different toppings and the hamburger combination, the combination of the meat can be mixed with marrow bones, cheddar cheese or bacon, pretty cool.

Audience Award
Mein Ort in Deutschland
A love story from Augsburg won the audience award of the international competition "Mein Ort in Deutschland." The Goethe-Institut asked people to divulge their favourite places in Germany online, drawing 1,200 stories from 100 countries. We present three of these places here: the university library in Augsburg, a street corner in Berlin-Neukölln and a park in the Black Forest that is dedicated to timepieces.
Since the launch of "Mein Ort in Deutschland" in February 2016, people who were not born in Germany could submit essays in German or their native languages. They are pinpointed on an interactive map of Germany on the website. An expert jury of six people from the arts, academia and politics chose the ten most outstanding essays. In the ensuing online vote, the audience was asked to choose their favourites and therefore decide the main prize.
Johannes Ebert, the secretary-general of the Goethe-Institut and a member of the jury, said, "We were very delighted with the numerous and original competition entries. They demonstrate the great interest in our country in a wide variety of facets. The looks from around the world at places in Germany are marked by sympathy and affection; they reflect the history and present of Germany and foster new perspectives on places familiar to us. I warmly congratulate the winner of the audience award on behalf of the Goethe-Institut and wish her many more pleasant experiences in Germany." Dieu Linh Bui won the audience award via online votes. She will receive a one-week trip to Germany for two to the place of her choice. All of the final texts are available to read on the project website.
"How did you find me?" by Dieu Linh Bui from VietnamDieu Linh Bui | Photo: private "In the library at Augsburg Uni there is a seat by the window. The sun used to shine there every morning. It was certainly an ideal seat for me when I didn't yet have any friends at the start of my stay in Germany. Augsburg in autumn was cooler than South-East Asia. I wanted to sit in the sun because I felt a bit cold, even though I had already put on my jumper. One day a boy came to me. He asked me if I could share the seat with him. I agreed and carried on reading my favourite book. We sat quietly together like that. One day after the next. At lunch it was noisy and cool inside the canteen. So I always ate on the terrace where it was warm and there weren't too many people.
Suddenly he came up to my dining table. I was very surprised and asked him: 'How did you find me here?' 'It's quite simple! I looked where the sun was shining' – He looked at me. His beaming smile was like sunshine and made my heart warmer. We could understand each other very well even before I spoke. This moment is so sweet that I sometimes wish I could stop time and fly to Augsburg so that we can get to know each other again."
"The Death of 'Abenteurer' Mackay" by Paul Diamond from New ZealandPaul Diamond in front of the Werbellin Apotheke in Berlin | Photo: private "A street corner in Neukölln is special to me because it's where a New Zealander was killed in 1929. Charles Mackay was shot by a police sniper while reporting for a British newspaper on the May Day riots between communists and police. Mackay came to Berlin after causing a sensation in Whanganui, a large town where he was the Mayor. In 1920 he shot a blackmailer, who threatened to reveal Mackay's homosexuality unless he resigned. The blackmailer survived, and Mackay went to prison for attempted murder, but was released after 6 years, on condition he leaves New Zealand. Mackay travelled to London, and arrived in Berlin in 1928.
Both cities attracted homosexual men, but it's not known whether this was a motivation for Mackay. Obituaries published in Berlin described him as an Abenteurer, an adventurous man, and a Weltenbummler, a world traveler. Whenever I visit Berlin, I try to visit the nondescript spot outside the Werbellin Apotheke, where the Abenteurer Herr Mackay's adventurous life ended."
"Chronoculture" by Valentín Di Leone Xavier from UruguayValentín Di Leone finds his places in a park full with watches. | Photo: private "We Uruguayans are famous for our lack of punctuality and I myself am the exception that proves the rule. I am so punctual that I always arrive everywhere 30 minutes early, which in essence makes me unpunctual too… But it's a positive unpunctuality. I have been collecting clocks and watches since the age of twelve, and at the moment I have 40 of them. I am more than happy to share this collection, because fewer and fewer people still use watches because of widespread mobile phones. This means I can share my collection with others on a mission of spreading punctuality.
If we Uruguayans are unpunctual, then the rest of the world is surely no different, is it? That was what I thought until I started a German course four years ago and became familiar with a punctual culture. I also told my teacher there that there is a park in Germany dedicated to timepieces, the 'Eble Uhren Park' (a park like that could never exist in Uruguay). An amazing place, because of what it is, and because of its origin (as it was founded by a family of clockmakers). Maybe this family shared my mission and was successful with it?"

There are a lot of analogies out there that can be fit to the world of web, but I thought I'd take a stab at one I could speak to that emphasizes building a smart and strong foundation to build on top of.
On top of this wonderful world of web, I enjoy building things. This summer's plans include a shed, so let's see if we can't make this analogy take wings.
You need to know what you're going to build before you build it. Sure, you know you need a building, but what is its function? A shed built for storage is going to be different than a shed built for gardening or one used as a workshop. Like sheds, websites serve all sorts of different purposes; banking, video streaming, collaboration, and blogging - all have their own unique set of requirements.
With purpose in mind, if you start building unrelated functionality into a building, it starts to become unusable. If I built a doorway to fit my lawn mower through, but then started adding decorative lattice which ended up covering it, suddenly the mower doesn't fit through the door. By visiting this website, you probably don't expect to order movie tickets or get the latest weather updates because that would distract from the website's purpose and function. Websites should strive to stay on focus and cater to their audience. Distractions lead to frustrated users and a bad user experience.
You know your building will need a certain amount of floor space and shelving, and a certain number of doors. You probably intend to group your belongings so they are easy to find: gardening supplies in one area, lawn care in another. Defining the purpose and organizing your building to fit your needs will flush out what sort of functionality the shed needs to include. If it's not obvious already, this is a direct comparison to content. Organizing your content and making it easy to find is paramount to making your website the trusted authority for visitors to continue coming back. In website parlance, that is your Information Architecture.
Plans for a building come in all sorts of shapes and sizes from pure architectural diagrams, 3D models to a sketch on paper. You're not quite ready to pick out your paint colors, instead, you still need to count the number of 2x4s you'll need to complete your project. Wireframes create a website's framework that the information architecture will fit into. Wireframes help you large and complex the structure is and how much effort will go in to constructing it.
The plans are made, the inventory taken, now it's time for a dry run. My analogy gets a little difficult here. At this point, you will be putting time and thought into identifying whether all of the belongings you want to store in your shed will actually fit into it. Usability testing is a process that helps you make sure what you thought belongs within your website will actually fit into the space provided, or if there needs to be some adjustments done to the framing.
Design is more than the way hour shed looks, it has more purpose than people may realize. If you need more wall space for shelves, you're not going to want a lot of windows and doors. If you need a lot of overhead storage, the roof needs to have a higher pitch. Just as in a building, website design complements the content of a website, enhancing and guiding users' eyes around the page without distracting from the function built into the page.
I know what you're thinking, this one is obvious, and you're right. Let's wrap up.
You can skip all of the steps and go straight to building. How will you know for sure if what you've built will fit your needs? Laying the groundwork for understanding what you need, what you have, and how you'll get there is as important in building a shed as building a website. This analogy fits my interests, but there are plenty of others to be made I am sure. Purpose, function, and ease of use are the cornerstones of so much in our lives from simple shed, a house's interior design, or the civil engineering behind a city. If you're planning on having users visit your website, why should your website be treated with any less thought?

Race 3 box office collection: Salman Khan movie soars to Rs 29.17 crore on opening day
Race 3 box office collection: Superstar Salman Khan has made a big statement on Friday. His latest release is all set to be a massive lifetime hit and it has made a spectacular start, meeting analysts estimates. Race 3 predictions were for this Salman Khan film to earn anything between Rs 30 cr to Rs 35 crore and it managed to get to the cusp of the lower number. Apart from Salman Khan, the film also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Daisy Shah and Bobby Deol.
Race 3 box office collection: After grabbing Rs 29.17 cr on opening day, the weekend is bound to get better as entire families will be eager to watch what Salman Khan has to offer. What will be of crucial importance is the word of mouth boost. If the audience is pleased with the movie, there is no saying how strong this booster shot will be. Notably, in Salman Khan's case, more often than not, the audience gives a thumbs up after watching the film.
Race 3 box office collection: The film is now predicted to quickly enter the exclusive Rs 100 cr club and speed on to the next milestone of Rs 150 cr. The crirtical factor would be how exactly is the film placed to hit the Rs 200 cr mark. That will perhaps, be revealed as early as next week, probably even Monday.

One million farmers in Ghana and Côte D'Ivoire, are to benefit from the CocoaCloud, a data platform that generates, translates and disseminates critical information by the year 2024.
Already, the platform is supporting 7,500 cocoa farmers, extension advisors and wider community members in the Western Region with training and localized weather forecasting services, which includes mobile phone alerts, enhanced by four weather stations installed locally in 2018.
The initiative, which also helps strengthen agricultural productivity and climate resilience in the West African cocoa landscape, is being pioneered by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and Opus Insights B.V. (Opus)
Madam Penelope Cabot, Director, and Co-Founder of Opus, made the announcement at a side event during the African Climate Week (ACW) held in Accra.
Under the theme: "Climate Change Action in Africa: A Race We Can Win", is the first of the three regional climate week summit to be organised by the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change, designed to act as critical stepping stone towards the two primary ambition driving event to be held this year.
She asserted that the West African Cocoa belt suffered an acute lack of easily accessible and accurate weather data in key growing areas, preventing essential agricultural-management decisions by farmers.
She recounted, "In Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire and elsewhere, we hear of similar stories including, I do not know when the rains will start. It looks like there will be rains, but it has not come yet."
"The rain started and then stopped. I have lost my seeds, my crop. I have wasted my inputs. Productivity is being affected. I need more information."
Mr Peter Bakker, President and Chief Executive Officer of WBCSD said, "CocoaCloud demonstrates our commitment to transforming food systems in key regions using innovative, climate-smart solutions. In addition to boosting productivity, CocoaCloud has the potential to enhance ongoing public, private and civil society initiatives in West Africa. We are now calling for many other organizations to join and benefit from CocoaCloud."
He noted that a total of 15 partner organizations were required to reach the investment target of $1.4 million over five years and that Kellogg Company, Olam International and Mondelez International had already committed to the scale-up of CocoaCloud, which included a new network of 150 on-ground weather and soil sensors across Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire planned for rollout in late 2019.
"CocoaCloud, is a critical tool to support more productive farmers while safeguarding agricultural landscapes and reducing deforestation and emissions through sustainable intensification", said Mr Sunny Verghese, Chief Executive Officer of Olam International.
Mr Peter Gibbs, Fellow of The Royal Meteorological Society and Opus Insights' Meteorological Adviser said without the basic information from weather stations, it would be difficult to project a useful forecast for farmers to make informed decisions.
"For people farming, it could actually be the difference between life and death. Give them a reliable weather forecast," he added.

Valcárcel: "The incompetence of Zapatero is prime with young people"Saturday, July 31st, 2010
Popular Party president of the Region of Murcia, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, said that "Zapatero is prime ineptitude with young people who are paying particularly affected by the economic crisis and lack of socialist government solutions to end it. "
"A million young Spanish people already unemployed, and their unemployment rate is already above 42 percent, returning to the worst days of the socialist governments of Gonzalez," which in his view "is disturbing and insulting by the absence interest policy by the Government of the Nation.
It seems only concerned entangled in controversies that do not matter, "he added.
At the First Meeting of Presidents of New Generations of the Region of Murcia, which have met the 45 local presidents NNGG this morning in San Pedro del Pinatar, Ramón Luis Valcárcel has noted that "while the National Government has stalled the necessary labor reform because it is unable to reach agreement in the Region of Murcia we strive to achieve agreements with unions and employers. "
However, has stated that "employment policies under the National Government and not to autonomy" and lamented that "the socialist government labor reform only encourages dismissal rather than job creation."
In addition, Ramon Luis Valcarcel has highlighted the "initiative and responsibility" of young people of New Generations of the Region, "in mid-summer meet to address their concerns, which are the same society, employment and housing, among others. "
For its part, the regional president of New Generations, Víctor Manuel Martínez, has criticized the Socialist government "now also wants to cut aid to the procurement of OPV" in a sample of the anti-social policies of the Zapatero government, something that however, "not surprising, since in the region still expect the government delegate this year will clarify whether or not made for housing in the Region of Murcia."
Martinez explained that in 2009 more than 1,300 homes classified as protected by the regional government were not built because of lack of funding that would ensure the central government through the Ministry of Housing "something that in the current crisis , is unforgivable, because it means fewer opportunities for access to housing and less employment derived from the construction of new buildings, "he pointed responsible for NNGG.
In this sense, Martinez lamented that "once again the Socialist Party promises something and then forget, in this case, the 183 million euros in loans for construction of OPV as the delegate of the Government and Housing Minister herself said they would come the Region of Murcia, when the truth is we have not known more than headlines.

We're all familiar with all the social media outlets: Facebook, Twitter, Klout, YouTube, Instagram, and on, and on… But how honest are you as an artist online? There are many things I've noticed artists do to tweak their social media accounts to control feedback. Is that really for the best? In my opinion, there are a few things artists do online that do more harm than good. Let's use Facebook and Twitter as examples. Most musicians' goal is to have more fans follow or like them than they follow themselves. Somehow having a multitude of people interested in you shows stature. Now here is where it gets tricky. There are ways to "trick" the system and purchase these "fans." As a result, true fans are being cheated. In my position, I have to differentiate the real from the fake and assess who they really are. That is really the only true way of helping you as an artist with your brand, by knowing who your fans are. Now, if most of your fans are "bought," how will I know how to help you? This will also affect your insight numbers. If a new record label asks to see your fan interaction, and for example, you follow 500 folks and have 10,000 fans, and never have replies, questions will begin to arise. If you have 10,000 Facebook fans and post daily, why doesn't anyone give you feedback? That will look suspicious, and in the end might make you appear dishonest.
In addition, many artists disable the comment section on YouTube because they are afraid of negative comments that may follow a new video post. We get it- feelings and egos can get hurt. However, while we know that some people can be straight up haters, comments can also include honest feedback that can help you become a better artist. Fans can serve as an informal focus group, and therefore should be listened to. Remember, offensive comments can simply be deleted. But this keeps you real, and fans want to see the real you.
Finally, many artists are unaware of and thus have closed off the setting for fan comments on their page. There have been plenty of times we want to share a video or picture of a particular band/artist, but when we go to their fan page, there is no way of making comments. This can be a turn off to fans, especially when they want to interact with you. There are plenty of reasons for blocking comments, but keep in mind that doing so limits potentially useful feedback. These are just some tips on what I run into being in the music industry. Hope this helps and give you as an artist and or artist fan, street team, manager some insight on using social media tools to your advantage.

Always, when I look downwards from the plane
over the prehistoric appearing landscape of Caledonia
where little spots transform into mountains, lochs and castles
yet I can see the endless long luck.
Always, after the check out with suitcases at my feet
when on my tongue I feel the welcome whisky
in the panorama Castle Café of Edinburgh
yet I can taste the smoky and spicy luck
Always, when I rove my forefathers' city Dundee
in the midst of the Lowlands along the Tay banks
when sweet wild daffodils fragrance enchants me all day long
yet I can smell the golden yellow luck
Always, when cheerful people meet
in the evening for a Ceilidh
frankly dancing and singing whole-heartedly
yet I can hear bewitching swinging luck
Always, when on the dark green hill chains
peacefully grazing sheep model with pleasure
for my memory photos and gratefully I stroke them
yet I can feel the woolly warm luck.
Always, when northern lights sparkle for me thousand times
where the molten gold of Scotland flows freely
salmon in mountain rivers perform their joyful leap
and the music of bagpipes cast a spell over me
there is the incredibly great luck completely with me.

The notorious teenage "Craigslist killer," Miranda Barbour, is awaiting trial for reportedly stabbing Troy LaFerrara multiple times on November 11. The 19-year-old has been sitting in a Pennsylvania jail cell awaiting a judge's verdict. Barbour admitted to committing the murder with her husband. The couple's three-week wedding anniversary was coming up, so they reportedly decided to kill someone together, calling it a "thrill kill" murder. The girl had allegedly used Craigslist Inc. to post an ad offering "companionship."
Barbour says she has no remorse and "If I were to be released I would do this again," she says. Barbour and her 22-year-old husband, Elytte, will both be facing the death penalty for LaFerrara's death.
The 48-year-old man answered the ad, and went to meet Barbour in a shopping mall parking lot before they eventually headed to a different spot in Sunbury. In an interview with the Daily Item, Barbour said that she agreed to have sex with LaFerrara for $100.
Prosecutors say that Elytte hid beneath a blanket in the back seat of their car, waiting for his wife's signal. When he got the signal, he jumped out from the back and wrapped a cord around LaFerrara's neck. Barbour then allegedly stabbed the man 20 times. The victim's body was discovered in an alley the next day.
Initially, Barbour told the police that she stabbed LaFerrara because he was trying to grab and choke her. Later, she finally came clean, admitting that she had committed murder once "things got out of control," the teenage girl professed. Barbour had told her Craigslist Inc. victim LaFerrara, that she just celebrated her 16th birthday. LaFerrara then used blunt honesty, saying he'd still have sex with her. That was enough to set her off, particularly because she was allegedly a victim of molestation.
This weekend, Barbour said to an interviewer from the Sunbury, Pa. Daily Item newspaper that since the age of 13, she has been killing people. "I did this to people who did bad things" and then went on to say that all of those people did not deserve to be alive. How many people? "When I hit 22, I stopped counting," she says.
Barbour's supposed involvement with a satanic cult in Alaska, was what sparked her killing spree of 20 or more other victims. Barbour boasted about how she could remember everything about the murders saying "I can pinpoint on a map where you can find them." The deranged teen admitted to hiding the bodies of her victims in California, Texas, and North Carolina as well as in Alaska. Apparently investigators are looking into these claims along with the FBI.
Apparently, the cult's leader let Barbour join in on a hit of someone who owed him money. Barbour says the leader placed his hands over hers and they pulled the trigger together to make the additional and final shot. "From there I just continued to kill." Says Barbour, and she regrets nothing.
The apparent teenage psychopath, who has a daughter, had most likely used Craigslist Inc. more than once to murder people. She allegedly studied her victims from afar, then befriended them before the heinous crimes were committed. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against both Barbour and her husband.

Recommended Read: After the Sands
This week we're recommending After the Sands: Energy and Ecological Security for Canadians by Gordon Laxer.
From the publisher Douglas & McIntyre: "Canada has all the conventional, non-fracked oil and natural gas needed to transition to a low-carbon future. Remarkable hydro-power gives Canadians a large base of renewable energy, which can be expanded with wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. Few countries have these options in adequate quantities. So what's the problem? Why do we continue to harm the environment? How do we overcome the power of vested interests and untangle the corporate trade agreements that block Canadians from getting secure and fair access to the country's own energy resources. Can Canada meet international emissions targets if it does not phase out Alberta Sands oil?
Impeccably researched, After the Sands is critical reading for anyone concerned about rising sea levels, pipeline and tanker spills, climate change chaos and Canada's future in a carbon restricted world."

EEG Provide Early, Accurate Prediction of Autism in Infants
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can now be predicted in infants as young as 3 months with the help of inexpensive electroencephalograms (EEGs), according to a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
The study was conducted by Charles Nelson, PhD, director of the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience at Boston Children's Hospital, and colleagues, to explore the utility of EEG for early detection of autism.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological and developmental disorder which is diagnosed on the basis of behavioral symptoms during the second year of life or later. Finding scalable biomarkers for its early detection is challenging because of the variability in the presentation of the disorder. Hence, there arises a need for simple measurements that could be implemented routinely during well-baby checkups.
EEG is a relatively easy-to-use, low-cost brain measurement tool that is being increasingly explored as a potential clinical tool for monitoring the atypical development of the brain.
"EEGs are low-cost, non-invasive and relatively easy to incorporate into well-baby checkups," says Dr. Nelson. "Their reliability in predicting whether a child will develop autism raises the possibility of intervening very early, well before clear behavioral symptoms emerge. This could lead to better outcomes and perhaps even prevent some of the behaviors associated with ASD."
The study analyzed data from the Infant Sibling Project (now called the Infant Screening Project) that seeks to map early development and identify infants at risk for developing ASD and/or language and communication difficulties.
The Infant Screening Project provided Bosl with EEG data from 99 infants considered at high risk for ASD (having an older sibling with the diagnosis) and 89 low-risk controls (without an affected sibling). The EEGs were taken at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months of age by fitting a net over the babies' scalps with 128 sensors as the babies sat in their mothers' laps. (An experimenter blew bubbles to distract them.) All babies also underwent extensive behavioral evaluations with the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), an established clinical diagnostic tool.
William Bosl, PhD, associate professor of Health Informatics and Clinical Psychology at the University of San Francisco, also affiliated with the Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) at Boston Children's Hospital, has been working for close to a decade on algorithms for interpretation of EEG signals, the familiar squiggly lines generated by electrical activity in the brain. Bosl's research suggests that even an EEG that appears normal contains "deep" data that reflect brain function, connectivity patterns, and structure that can be found only with computer algorithms.
Six different components (frequencies) of the EEG (high gamma, gamma, beta, alpha, theta, delta) were analyzed by Bosl's computational algorithms, using a variety of measures of signal complexity. These measures can reflect differences in how the brain is wired and how it processes and integrates information, says Bosl.
The algorithms predicted a clinical diagnosis of ASD with high specificity, sensitivity, and positive predictive value, exceeding 95 percent at some ages.
"The results were stunning," Bosl says. "Our predictive accuracy by 9 months of age was nearly 100 percent. We were also able to predict ASD severity, as indicated by the ADOS Calibrated Severity Score, with quite high reliability, also by 9 months of age."
Bosl believes that the early differences in signal complexity, drawing upon multiple aspects of brain activity, fit with the view that autism is a disorder that begins during the brain's early development but can take different trajectories. In other words, an early predisposition to autism may be influenced by other factors along the way.
"We believe that infants who have an older sibling with autism may carry a genetic liability for developing autism," says Nelson. "This increased risk, perhaps interacting with another genetic or environmental factor, leads some infants to develop autism -- although clearly not all, since we know that four of five "infant sibs" do not develop autism."

Bearish market sentiment flipped straightaway overnight once United States president Donald Trump tweeted that the Section 232 tariffs on Turkish steel would be reduced to 25% from 50%, a European scrapyard source said. "Sellers immediately withdrew the offers and buyers' appetites immediately increased across the regions which we are selling into," the source said. Prices are expected to start on a bullish trend from now on and keep within a more stable range, market sources at the conference said.

In the meantime, I've got an update featuring Rylee getting serviced by Krissy & Zoey, both in different places. The first one is a continuation from an older scene where Zoey gives Rylee a blowjob at night. This time, Zoey gives Rylee's hard cock a ride while trying to keep quiet so as not to disturb Rylee in her slumber (Wonder what she's dreaming about?). She succeeds too as Zoey is able to make Rylee cum without waking her up.
In our next part, we see Rylee having some fun in the sun with Krissy by the pool. After rubbing her cock between Krissy's bum, she shoves deep inside her before letting out a huge cumshot on Krissy's ass. With friends like these, you have to wonder how you can be with them too. 😀

Farewell to Maxwell Park as we've known it for decades. On Feb 26, 2019 the supervisors will vote on the master plan which will forever transform the park. All the playing field lawns will be ripped up for plastic turf. Huge stadium lights will shine until 10 pm. Trees once planted as a memorial will be cut down for a bike pump track. Lots more pavement for parking right near the new bike trail. In back new paved trails will replace dirt tracks.
So many reasons why the county parks want to do this, but I am still heartbroken after trying to voice the value of natural areas here for walking and playing for so long. I thought I could let it go, but I cannot. I will say goodbye to the Maxwell Park I know and love. But I'll never be able to forget what's lost.
— Teri Shore, Sonoma

It was just over two Sundays ago that thirteen year old Nathan Campo became a hero when, in the face of danger and certain death, he stood up to protect his mother and sister from a cutlass wielding intruder at their home in Las Lomas.
Sadly, after being treated at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex for chop wounds to his head which left him on life support, the young hero of the day succumbed to his injuries around midday yesterday (Jan 3rd).
His mother has since been discharged after being treated for injuries.
Reports indicate that Campo sprung into action without hesitation to shield both his mother and sister when the assailant, who is still at large, entered their front yard and began attacking his mother with a cutlass.
Nathan Campo was a Form Two student of Trinity College East. Today, his classmates return to school to face and empty chair where once sat this brave youth who died as a man, shouldering the responsibility that comes with being a brother and son, a protector and a hero.

You may remember my enthusiasm for Literary Tweeters. I've started working on my courses for the upcoming year and here is the twitter activity I'm going to use with a novel study. The best tweets from each year will be used in a sporcle-style twitter review quiz for the following year. The twitter feed will be used to summarize the story and the extras: bio page, following, photos and videos, ads, recommended people and trending hashtags, will be used to shed light on the character they've picked to study. As an extension I would as students to make a "# Connect" page that follows one of the trending hashtags. This page would have people their character isn't following and would provide a different perspective on what is happening in the story.
This project is similar to a facebook character study I made to use with Macbeth, however, this project is Word-based instead of using Publisher and is easier to use and modify.
If you'd like a copy of the template click here.
My next project is going to be to use Word to update the facebook template to the Timeline layout.

Character Codes: S, Mc, Saa
The two men sat across from each other and stared down at the antique mahogany chessboard between. Spock was quiet, even for him, and McCoy could almost term the mood his friend was in as pensive. Spock had been pensive for days and McCoy had finally had enough. Before he could demand to know what the Vulcan's infernal problem was, Spock prompted him.
"It is your move."
"I know, damn it. Give me just a minute. I want to ask you something." Irascibly, the old doctor 'hurumphed'.
"No," Spock sighed quietly and started to explain even as he was interrupted.
"No?! I can't ask you a question? I'm your doctor and I can damn well ask you anything I want..."
"Calm yourself, Doctor. I was not indicating that I did not wish to speak with you, only that I wanted to speak of that phrase, 'It is your move'." Spock raised one eyebrow and waited for the other's response.
"Well, okay. What about it?" Bones settled into his chair, the game temporarily forgotten.
"What does it mean?"
"Well, in it's most obvious sense, it means just what I took it as. A prompt to make my play on the board." The good doctor waited to see if this would satisfy the always-curious Vulcan. It did not.
"And in a not so obvious sense?" He thought of Saavik and knew that while she had been open and up front with most of her reply, that last comment had been open to interpretation. His interpretation.
"It's a common phrase used in human debate and also human romance."
"Debate?" Spock rested his chin on his long, steepled fingers. "How so?"
"Well, say if we were debating the best brand of Kentucky whiskey, I'd make my point. Then it would be your turn and I could turn the floor over to you by saying, 'It's your move, Spock.' Then you would make your point against the superiority of certain types of Kentucky whiskey. See?" McCoy picked up his own glass of replicated, alcohol free Kentucky whiskey and sipped. Then he moved his rook.
Immediately Spock shook his head at the doctor's gambit and over took with his own bishop. "I think so, doctor. But you also mentioned that the phrase had a meaning in human romance. What of that?"
"Maybe you better save that one for Jim, Spock. He's the ladies' man, not me." Conceding defeat, he tipped his queen and watched his companion.
"Jim will not be back for 3.4 days. I do not wish to wait that long." Spock stated this and felt his own surprise as he realized how true this was. If Saavik was saying what he suspected... he did not want to wait any longer than was absolutely necessary.
"Okay. I guess the best way to explain it would be to say that if someone has said to you that it is your move... then they feel that they have laid their emotions on the table and that what you do with or about them is your call. Spock? Has someone said that to you? Do you wanna talk about it?" Clearing his throat, McCoy continued, "I know I'm not Jim, but I've been married. If there is something else you want to know..."
"No. Thank you doctor, I understand. I must go." Spock unfolded his long legs from under the low playing table and strode to the door. "I will be in my quarters if I am needed."
Light years away, Saavik was leaving her quarters to begin her shift. The com panel squealed and she paused to answer. "Yes. Saavik here."
"Lieutenant Saavik, there is a real time communiqué coming in for you. Should I patch you through? It's from the Enterprise."
"Yes, Yeoman. Thank you." She straightened her uniform, brushing away wrinkles that weren't there and tossed her hair back. She sat at her view screen and waited for the patch through. The Starfleet insignia dissolved into the face of Spock. "Greetings, Spock."
"Hello, Saavik-am. I received your last message this morning. I felt we should speak." He seemed calm and his voice never wavered.
Saavik feared she could not say the same about herself. "Very well. I have 10.6 minutes until I must report for my shift on the bridge." She swallowed hard and clasped her hands in her lap. Why did her heart beat so hard? She fought for each breath she took and knew that Spock could see her highly emotional state. She would never insult him that way and so she struggled for control. Calling on the mental disciplines she had been taught years before, she brought her body under control and focused on him once more. "What do you wish to discuss?"
"Moves. I wish to discuss moves, Saavik. More precisely mine... and yours." He leaned forward and stared intently into the screen and her eyes. "Your actions on the Genesis planet have given me much to think about, Saavik-am. While I, regrettably, have no memories of the experience, I do find that I have strong feelings that should be discussed. You have made it evident that my gratitude isn't needed for your actions... nor is my gratitude wanted. I can accept that... if you can accept something in return."
Saavik nodded and replied, "I can accept anything from you, Spock. There is no one that I trust more."
"Indeed. Trust is a good place to start. You have my trust, my confidence, and my belief in your ability to do that which you must. You have had that since you were a very small child. Our trusts were exchanged rather instinctively, as you pointed out. I have to believe that it was for a very specific reason that our paths crossed so many years ago. It is possible that our destinies were fulfilled on Genesis and we could say our responsibilities to fate have been filled. We could continue as we have for years. Friends, with a teacher-pupil relationship."
Saavik heard his words and felt her heart stumble, pause and then begin to beat again, almost painfully in her chest. He was rejecting her. Gently, and without malice, yet still a rejection. Could she accept that? She had already promised that she could... "Spock, I understand and will abide..."
"Saavik, if I may finish?" Spock interrupted her. "As I was saying, we could continue much as we have for years... if you desire. I do not."
Not just rejection, but a complete withdrawal. He wanted nothing more to do with her. Crushed beneath the heavy weight that had settled over her, Saavik struggled for her continued composure. Her breath hitched and she blinked several times to clear the sudden mist from her vision. "Spock... I do not wish..."
Again he interrupted. "Good. Neither do I. I do not wish for a pupil-teacher relationship. I want more, Saavik-am. I want to know you as more, if you will allow it."
Desperately trying to follow his train of thought, Saavik held up one hand in restraint. "Spock, please. Wait... I am unsure how to respond. What are you saying?" She looked deep into the view screen and studied his expression. To her amazement, a look of doubt was evident on his face.
"I believe I have done was you would have me do, Saavik. I have 'made my move'. And now I wait for your reaction."
She watched him closely as he calmly waited for her next words. His face settled into the lines and planes that she knew so well. He was familiar and comfortable, yet this was a new and foreign place she had manipulated them into. Manipulated. Did she manipulate him into this? Was this his sense of responsibility speaking to her?
Doubt suddenly plagued her. She dismissed it almost as soon as it took root. Spock did not lie. She knew that as well as she knew her own name. He had said that he wished to know her... to know her as more. More than a pupil... as a person and a woman? He wanted her... oh gods... he wanted her.
The weight on her chest lightened and she drew her first free breath since she sat down. "Spock, my wishes and thoughts are the same as they were when I sent the first reply. I, too, wish to know you as more than a teacher and comrade. I would give you memories such as I have already. I would be honored to."
"No, Saavik-am. It is I who am honored. Our ships will be in closest proximity to each other in 3.5 weeks. I would come to you, if that is agreeable." Spock paused and seemed to want to say more.
She waited on him to finish, but he merely shook his head minutely and remained silent.
"Very well. I will await your arrival. Good-bye...?" She asked.
Spock quickly interceded. "No... I would speak to you again, before then. I, too, have felt our lack of communications. I will not say good-bye now."
"No... not good-bye. Only until we meet again." Saavik smiled, her eyes bright. She inclined her head and the unruly curls fell over her shoulder. "Until then..."

Cambridge surveillance technology sets trap to catch wildlife poachers
Cambridge Design Partnership has unveiled surveillance technology to help detect and snare illegal poachers of endangered animal species.
CDP's 'Instant Detect 2.0' system is a satellite connected camera and sensor system that can be deployed in the most remote and inaccessible locations to provide sensor alerts and images in near real-time.
It will bolster the work of park rangers protecting endangered animals such as gorillas, elephants, tigers and rhinos against the illegal wildlife trade, as well as enhancing the efforts of conservationists worldwide monitoring various species.
Prototypes of the device were showcased by CDP design engineer Tom Brittain at the Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference: London 2018, a major international event held by the UK Government at Battersea Evolution.
Brittain said: "The detectors of Instant Detect 2.0 can pick up any movement but can be set specifically to be triggered by human activity. Instant Detect 2.0 will send alerts straight to wildlife rangers. It can even take high-quality photographs of the poachers which can be used in prosecutions against them."
According to Save The Rhino, more than 7,000 African rhinos have been lost to poaching in the past 10 years. The United Nations calculates that 100 elephants are slaughtered every day in Africa for the illegal ivory trade.
The device is being created in partnership with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), based at London Zoo. "This technology is very much designed by conservationists, for conservationists," says Brittain.
"We are very excited to be part of a project that will potentially save thousands of rare and endangered animals in the wild."
Conservationist Sam Seccombe is the field specialist at ZSL who has been working with CDP on the project. He explains how the technology will combat poaching.
"When a poacher is detected by the system a threat alert is pushed to the wildlife rangers in under five minutes. Knowing where the poacher is allows the rangers to mount an appropriate response and stop the poachers before it is too late."
The team will shortly be travelling to Tsavo West national park in Kenya to test and trial the new equipment in the field.
Brittain says: "What is special about Instant Detect 2.0 in comparison with other motion-triggered cameras is the fact that it sends its data securely via satellite at low cost, which can be picked up worldwide within minutes.
"Cameras can be placed up to two kilometres from the Instant Detect 2.0 base station and sensors can be as far as 10 kilometres from the base. The data is then transmitted globally via the Iridium satellite network, which offers the most reliable global coverage.
"An early version has already been used to watch penguins in the Antarctic. It can be used for anything from tracking down rare animals such as snow leopards to gathering information from remote parts of the Amazonian rain forest.
"Here at CDP we are designing the kit to be small enough to be portable in a rucksack. The batteries will last for months and all the equipment has to be robust enough to withstand jungle humidity, freezing temperatures of Antarctica and extreme desert heat."
Importantly, the kit will also send alerts to users if the battery is running low, a device has been tampered with, or if maintenance is needed. This will be a huge help to conservationists, says Sam Seccombe.
"There can be nothing more disheartening for a conservationist than to wait for a number of months to collect their camera trap images to find that, on day two of the deployment, an elephant has smeared dirt on the camera lens and they have collected a thousand images of mud.
"This solution allows conservationists to plan better, be more efficient and only trek deep into the field to their equipment when absolutely necessary."
Britain said: "When a conservation project is looking at spending, say £10,000, on a helicopter ride into a remote area to set up monitoring equipment the kit has absolutely got to work.
"Instant Detect 2.0 will carry on transmitting data for months and that data can be picked up and analysed almost straight away. Plans already in the pipeline include elephant protection in Kenya, monitoring mountain lions near San Francisco and even tracking glacial retreat. It's very versatile."

Online Resources
The Archives Hub includes descriptions of 'Online Resources' alongside Archive Collections.
What are Online Resources?
Online Resources are collections of resources, typically digitised content, often created as a project and usually based on a specific theme. The resources are available via a website that often provides context and interpretation for the content.
From fashion to photography, dance to Darwin, soldiers to Shakespeare, these websites represent a whole range of archival resources, often with strong visual themes that can be used for research, learning and teaching.
These digital collections and archives for learning, teaching, and research include material from many institutions across the UK. Some represent material held at a single institution (such as World of Kays), while others bring together material where the physical copies may be widely dispersed (such as History to Herstory).
The collection websites provide access to the material, and give guidelines for use.
What's different about Online Resources?
They're not traditional archival collections: they might not have an identifiable creator/originator and they do not have an archival hierarchy. But they represent resources that give access to archives, which is why we've included them in the Archives Hub. Unlike many archive collections, Online Resources content is usually available online because it has often been digitised.
How do I access the materials?
Online Resources materials are often available online, on the collection's website. The link to this is in the description. These websites are not maintained by the Archives Hub. If you have any questions about accessing or using the material, please use the contact details on the collection's website.
Can I use an image I've found in an Online Resource?
Consult the collection's website for details of licensing, and how you can use materials.
Can I submit an Online Resources description?
We welcome descriptions of Online Resources that fit in with the Archives Hub remit. Please see our page about Contributing Online Resource descriptions.

I will admit that before starting this blog (and maybe still) I have that little voice inside my hard-head that tells me I don't have a fashion-blogger-worthy style. However, there are other days where I'm overly confident because I feel 110% in an outfit. That's how everyday should feel, whether you're in a t-shirt and jeans (as I am often) or dolled up for date-night. Personally I love being proud of how great every piece comes together. I can only hope to share that passion of styling an outfit with you as well.
Not to mention, I just love a good find. I want to share those finds with you all, especially when I come across a good steal! Before I knew you can set alerts for sales on your phone/email, I'd find sales by simply perusing shops. I still love perusing, mainly because what's online isn't always in stock at your nearby store. Rest assured, I can pretty much list my favorite shop's current inventory at times. I take perusing serious. Speaking of, where do I shop, you ask? I've created a short list here of shops where I find the majority of my staples.
Not quite sure I can put my finger on my signature style, because it tends to evolve. However, I like versatile, neutral, classic pieces that allow me to add some trendier pieces or accessories. I also like to keep it easy breezy because I don't want a heat stroke while surviving this Arizona heat. Although, there are times where I layer for the sake of fashion even though I'm burning up. What's your signature style? I'd love to know how you keep up with what's trending.

Caleb Lee Hutchinson: 5 Things To Know About The 'American Idol' Country Singer
Caleb Lee Hutchinson is one incredibly talented contestant on 'American Idol!' Here's what you need to know about the country crooner as the competition heats up!
1. He's lost 70 pounds since auditioning! When Caleb, 19, stepped out for his top 24 solo performance, he looked a little different. Caleb revealed that he's shed major pounds since auditioning for the judges. When host Ryan Seacrest asked Caleb how he lost the weight, Caleb said, "One day I was like, 'Hey, wouldn't it be cool if I drank water and walked every night.'" Caleb also added, "The more the Instagram likes went up, the more I wanted to hit the treadmill." Caleb looks great!
2. He auditioned for The Voice! American Idol isn't his first rodeo with a reality singing competition. He performed during The Voice blind auditions during season 9, but the coaches didn't turn their chairs for him. Everything worked out for the best, though. Caleb was meant to audition for American Idol with that stellar performance of "If It Hadn't Been For Love" by The SteelDrivers.
3. He's got a connection to a former American Idol finalist. The Dallas, Georgia, native started performing around Atlanta, including the Mill Town Music Hall. He actually opened for American Idol season 4 runner-up Bo Bice in 2012, according to AJC.com. "I was star struck," Caleb said. "But it feels like I've come full circle." He'll perform alongside singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha for his top 24 celebrity duet!
4. He's got an EP out now! He released the 5-second EP titled Country Music in late 2016. Maybe he'll sing one of his original songs on American Idol! The show loves a good original song!
5. His name for his fans is so adorable! Caleb's fans have been dubbed Hutchpuppies. How cute (and very creative!) They better come through for Caleb when it's time to vote!

Emerging Research: Impact of Invasive Species by the Numbers
New research sheds light on the invasive species that pose the greatest threat to Australia's native wildlife.
Invasive species often monopolize the media in Australia and for good reason—Australia has one of the highest rates of extinction, largely due to invasive species. Some of the greatest threats wildlife today are introduced, invasive European rabbits, red foxes, and an invasive fungus is commonly known as root rot fungus (Phytophthora plant disease).
When ranked in order of the number of species harmed, the invasive European rabbit comes in at number one affecting a whopping 321 native species. The impacts rabbits have on native flora and fauna are varied but among them, rabbits destroy native plants and can hinder their ability to regenerate. They also compete with native animals for their food source.
Invasive root rot fungus is a leading threat to native vegetation and infects susceptible plant species, most commonly impacting native tree species within Myrtaceae (the Myrtle family). The damage to native vegetation goes on to impact wildlife that relies on plants for food and shelter.
One of the key species people talk about are invasive European red foxes, but are considered the sixth greatest threat, affecting 95 native species. Although, they are still a huge concern given their impact on a number of at-risk species as classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Stephen Kearney from the University of Queensland, who helped conduct the research in collaboration with Australia's Threatened Species Recovery Hub highlighted:
This does not mean foxes are not a problem, it means there are other really problematic pests out there that as a community we have not been talking about as much."
This new research was conducted by The University of Queensland with the help of Australia's Threatened Species Recovery Hub and provides renewed hope and direction for future conservation efforts.
Invasive species in Australia and the number of species they affect:
2. Phytophthora plant disease (236)
3. Feral pig (149)
4. Feral cat (123)
5. Feral goat (116)
6. European red fox (95)
7. Lantana (95)
8. Blackberry (47)
9. Black rat (42)
10. Feral cattle (39)
