Far from 'frivolous spending,' data shows trails can actually boost property tax revenues
With budget crises a reality for local governments all over the country, recreation amenities like bike trails are often the first places to look for cuts. But according to research coming out of the University of Cincinnati, proximity to trails in urban areas increases property values, which in turn boosts the amount of property taxes filling government coffers.
The research, by planning professor Rainer vom Hofe and economics professor Olivier Parent, looked at houses along a 12-mile stretch of the Little Miami Scenic Trail, a former rail line that cuts across the northeastern portion of Cincinnati. The pair found that home buyers were willing to pay a premium of $9,000 to be within 1,000 feet of access to the trail.
"A bike trail like this has many types of returns. Residents can use it as a way to commute, and most people use it for recreation," says vom Hofe. "For local governments, you can make a strong argument that they get back some of the money invested in these public amenities in the form of higher property taxes. We see positive spillover in more densely populated urban areas as well as less densely populated, suburban areas." The study looked at 1,762 houses, worth an average of $263,517, that were located within 10,000 feet of the trail.
Although there's no comprehensive way to track local spending on bike trails, there have been several proposals this year to cut federal funding for bike paths. Congressman John Mica of Florida called for eliminating the Transportation Enhancements and Recreational Trails programs, which fund many bike trails. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky wants to divert funds for the Transportation Enhancements program to bridge repair, while Sen. James Inhofe has said one of his top three priorities is to eliminate "frivolous spending for bike trails."
The bike-trail research backs up previous studies that have found links between bike paths and increased real-estate values. As vom Hofe was conducting his study, he was also on the hunt for a new house, which gave him insight into the amenities people look for when choosing where to live. And while he concedes that access to recreation isn't as important as, say, a school district for many home buyers, he points out that trails are especially attractive in cities that are far from oceans, mountains and other natural attractions.
"Many cities don't have the great outdoors next door," he says. "They have to look at what they do have, and things like parks and trails and green space are all assets that people are willing to pay more to be located near."

Since the demographic data on this website is from the US Census Bureau, we're using the US Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs), which are generalized areal representations of United States Postal Service ZIP Code service areas.
A zip code is technically a linear postal route. I like to imagine zips codes as a postman driving in a line up and down streets delivering mail. Here's a fun animation about how the Census Bureau turns linear routes into polygons: https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/zcta/zcta_delin_anim.html.
Sometimes, there isn't a ZCTA for a "weird" zip code. Examples of weird zip codes that we've run into in the past include a zip only for the IRS, a zip that is a single office building or a zip code with 0 or a small population. And sometimes there aren't enough samples in a zip/ZCTA to produce an estimate (i.e. small population).
On this website, we use the terms ZCTA, zip code or zip interchangeably, because most people who we work with don't know what a ZCTA is and the difference between a zip code and ZCTA doesn't impact how they need to use the data. But theoretical problems could arise with using ZCTAs if you are doing a mailing list or mass mail project. We've sold this data to thousands of clients since 2009, and we've run into 1 case where ZCTAs wouldn't work for a client's project. If you are doing a mass mail project, you may need zip code data instead of ZCTA data.
If you must have United States Postal Service ZIP Code service areas and not ZCTAs, we can either:
1. buy zip data on your behalf if the demographics you need are available from one of the private vendors that we work with or
2. we can license zip shape data from a private company and use these shapes to create custom demographic estimates. To get a quote from private data vendors, we need to know how many people will be accessing the data (number of users) and how you'll be using the data (i.e. internal analysis versus external facing app). Both of these options cost more than using US Census Bureau ZCTA data.
Give us a call at Cubit HQ: 1-800-939-2130. You'll be connected to one of the founders of the company.

Baseball & Sailing: two great tastes
And, really, I'm reaching here.
Maybe I'll never make the Vaunted Tillerman Top Ten again but I have something to say on this here blog. And, unfortunately for the sailing blog readers, it's about baseball.
But, I'll get brackish on you here with one last sailing story. When I was in my early 20's I played golf; not well or often but I did own my own set of golf clubs. When planning out my TransAtlanticSail that is at the heart of my title of "Bad Ass Ocean Going Sailor", my father (and Captain) told me that golf clubs and sailing don't mix. Specifically, my golf clubs were not allowed on his sail boat.
And that killed my plans to golf in Ireland upon landfall. I have barely golfed since.
What does that have to do with baseball. Nothing. See you at the Great Batting Practice Broadcast this Saturday.

Golf and sailing don't mix. They are both games that are seriously addictive such that almost anyone who plays either seriously devotes almost every minute of their spare time to improving their game.
When I first came to the US, most of my colleagues at work were avid golfers. They were always trying to encourage me to take up golf. But I resisted for the reason above.
But being a smart ass I used to tell them that I would take up golf when I was too old for sailing. I don't think they liked me much after that.

I caught this on the three-hour tape delay west coast broadcast.
Noah raises an interesting teleological question early in the segment. Do we exist to be on TV or to watch TV?
He wants to watch himself on TV, but realizes that Newtonian physics do not permit that. Even relativistic corrections are of no help. He would have to run from the batting cage to the computer screen at nearly the speed of light.
With this new streaming technology available to Everyman, the day is near when we will all be on TV, but there will be no one left to watch TV.
I think that's why there were only seven viewers. Everyone else was streaming their own video.
I've been thinking about broadcasting a whole series on me doing my laundry.

Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem,
In order to understand the history of the Torah and how the scriptures were collected, it must be clarified that the Torah itself was the revelation that was brought to Moses in Sinai for forty years and these chapters include: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The following scriptures assembled after these chapters is called the Book of the Prophets. The combination of the Torah and the Book of the Prophets is known as the Old Testament according to the Christian faith; and Tanakh according to the Jewish faith. In order to completely assemble the Old Testament, it took 950 years, the Book of the Prophets (collection of the prophethoods until Jesus).
Beginning with Surat al-A'Araf verse: 157, "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and Gospel--for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil, etc.)
The Jews were waiting for the guided prophet mentioned in the Torah to guide, unify, and strengthen the people and rule justly with divine law freely from Roman rule. The signs and attributes from Allah for this prophet were made clear in the Torah. He was mentioned through previous prophets and signs to look for in the coming of this Prophet and it was understood that this messenger may or may not be from the Jewish tribes. This Messenger, according to the ayah, is the messenger that is mentioned in Isaiah 42. This prophet is also the 'illiterate' mentioned in Isaiah 29 11-12. This last prophet is understood to be more than just 'illiterate'. The origin of the word "ummi" from Hebrew also meant Gentiles, which meant, not from the Children of Israel. Therefore, all the description of the of the Prophet in the Torah suit only the Prophet Muhammad as unlettered and from the Gentiles. Examples including Deutronomy 18:18 coming from Paran as mentioned in Genesis 21:21, and also being blessed in Genesis 17:20, and open Paran in Deutronomy 33:2 with 10,000 companions. All of these verses come from the Torah and before the Book of the Prophets and their description of the Prophet.
The People of Israel (Jews) were subject to torture, oppression, and injustices from various kingdoms (Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Romans etc.) and their primary anticipation was the arrival of this prophet.
They have known his name and his characteristics thoroughly. Riots and rebellions began from the Jews and the strongest rebellion that resulted in the truest parts of their missions was led by the famous Judah al-Makabi (followers by the name of Makabiyans) in 165 BC. This religious rebellion succeeded by expelling the Romans from Jerusalem for only three full years, and eventually fell back into Roman rule.
This was the beginning of a new hatred and tension from the Romans toward the Jews. The Jews put their trust for dependance and support of the Persians and meanwhile, the Persians used the Jews as an asset to weaken Roman rule as insiders to their kingdom. The Jews thank the Persians for their appreciation of the Jews specifically, King Cyrus, who brought the Jews back to Jerusalem after 50 years captivity of the Babylonians that began in 587 BC and helped rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. King Cyrus' advisor, Prophet Daniel, guided him to the teaching of Allah and Daniel provided him to marry the Jew, Esther. When he died, she became Queen Esther.
What was the reason behind all the tension between the Jews and Romans? The Jews had been anticipating a prophet (unlettered) that would come and remove/demolish the Roman occupation as mentioned in Daniel 7 and Daniel 2: 44. After the death of Judah Al-Makabi, the Romans were on guard and cautious of whether the Jews would revolt again. Due to the oppression and strict lives the Jews were living under the Roman rule, Jewish religious practices, hopes, and piety started to decrease which led to corruption in the Jewish community (political, religious, social, etc). The righteous among them started to depart from the corruption--moving to caves--in isolation and only the corrupt in the community remained. The Jews were still active in trying to remove the Romans regardless of who was there to aid them as preparation for the rule of the Messiah/ or Prophet.
Within this corrupt society, there was a minority, the family of Umran--Zakariah's family (pious with no political involvement). The story of Zakariah is mentioned in Sura Maryam and Surat Al-Imran. The mother of Maryam (Mary), Hanna, widowed and pregnant with Mary, was short-numbered in running the house of worship. The story of Maryam (Mary) can be found in Surat Maryam. After explaining this environment and context, it can be understood what kind of community Jesus was born in. The Jewish community did not regard or pay any attention to the teachings of Jesus, but Allah supported and guided his teachings as proof as a messenger and prophet. Regardless of his teachings, they did not care, they did not acknowledge them because he would curse the writers of the Torah and the wicked which was frequently mentioned in the New Testament such as found in Matthew 6, 2: " Therefore when you do a charitable deed, do not sound strumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets…". Also in Matthew 12, 34 and John 8:44.
In order to get them to believe in Allah again, increase in diseases and illnesses became of them--not just disease and illness but specific and designated illnesses that are specifically remedied with the permission of Allah. These conditions included, blindness, deafness, muteness, and leprosy. Every single one of them can only be cured by the WILL of Allah. Jesus was the means to which these conditions would be cured, by Allah's Will. Because the blessings of Jesus were so immense, anyone that Allah willed to be cured, would approach him, and if Allah did not will someone to be cured, they never approached Jesus. All of this is tied to the Wisdom of Allah and His Wisdom is not to be debated. The commonality of the conditions were brought as a sign to bring the people back to Allah through Jesus as a reminder of the blessings of the senses and how they are supposed to be used for the sake of Allah.
As for the one occurrence of raising the dead, was proof of resurrection and the Day of Judgement for those who disbelieved in such.
Secondly, the event of blowing into bird-shaped mud and it turning into a living bird, was a message showing the existence of the soul for those who disbelieved in such. This was to show that man was created from mud, will die and return to dirt, and again will be resurrected the same way they were created.
Lastly, what was mentioned in Sura Al-Imran aya 49: " …and I declare to you what ye
eat, what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a sign for you if ye did believe."
Jesus tells the Jews that Allah knows what they eat although they preach eating the Kosher diet, and what is in the homes of Rabbis that speak of righteouness while consuming all of the charity for themselves.
The message of Allah about these cures is that Allah can cure anytime any condition if He wills, and that He will resurrect the dead and that there is an afterlife and reckon with everyone and their physical senses, belief in the soul with the miracle of the bird, and that Allah knows all of the unseen and nothing is unknown to Him from even the insides of people's homes.
During the time of Jesus, the righteous rabbis that took care of the temple made an announcement that they would meet on the Sabbath and bring Jesus to assess him. He answered every single question in detail including the questions even the rabbis did not know the answers to. They told him, "You are a true prophet and are supported by Allah and we have a request. Because you have support from Allah, why not become king to overcome the Romans with full support from the community." Jesus responded in Surat As-saf ayah 6: "And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, " O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah sent to you confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad…" Because the Jews, including Jesus, already knew that Muhammad was coming, when Jesus mentioned the name 'Ahmed', meaning "the Highest Praiser" which was also another name of Muhammad to fit his description, it was to emphasize the importance of his coming. That 'Ahmad' is the designated one to end Roman rule. The name Ahmed was mentioned in the Gospel John 16:12-15 in the Greek, 'Paraclete' which later derived to the Syriac 'Ahmad' which meant 'praised'. Because the leaders understood that Jesus was not the one to end Roman rule, it was assumed that there was no reason in changing the current lifestyle until the arrival of Muhammad who will end Roman rule. This news led to an uproar. This event is also mentioned in John 1:19-27 and Luke 7 12-20. John the Baptist was also awaiting the Prophet Muhammad. Many of the followers of John the Baptists name their children names similar to Muhammad such as Hamed. Luke 12:14 Jesus denies to be a judge and divider. John 8:41-45 they didn't like Jesus.
Allah mentions addressing to the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad as support towards Muhammad like the disciples of Jesus, in Surat As-Saf: 14, " O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: as said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to the work of Allah?" Said the Disciples, 'We are Allah's helpers!' and a portion of the Children of Israel believed and a portion disbelieved."
Jesus addressed to his disciples to follow Muhammad in John 14: 16, 25-26, 30, 15: 26-27, 16: 5-14 where he addresses the coming of the Comforter (Paraclete) and the message and divine guidance to come after Jesus. He describes a man that will speak not from himself (but as revelation) bringing teachings for people and speaking with respect of Jesus.
The uproar about Muhammad coming to conquer Rome spread. The news spread enough eventually to reach Roman knowledge. When the Romans heard the news they sought out who brought this information--Jesus. According to Islamic sources and as found in Al-Nisa'i, narrated by Ibn Abbas and Ibn Kathir that during the time of the Romans summoning Jesus and his disciples, Jesus met amongst his disciples and discussed with them. Jesus said to his students, "Allah is going to raise me to heaven. Allah told me that He will raise me to heaven. Who volunteers to be my simulacrum (stand-in/look-a-like) and companion in heaven?" He asked them this question as a test for their dedication to the religion while he is raised to heaven. One of the youngest volunteered and Jesus asked him to sit down and the young man volunteered two more times and Jesus asked him to sit down and selected one of them and said, "You will be that man".
Because this narration was by Ibn Abbas, it is widely understood that he was educated under the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) and that the original message of a simulacrum of Jesus came from the Prophet Muhammad and that his narration was a teaching from Ibn Abbas. He interpreted the story of Jesus as his own statement and that at this point it is understood that there are no traitors among the disciples as Allah mentions in the Quran in Surat Al-Maidah: 11, " And behold, I inspired the Disciples to have faith in me and mine messenger; They said, "We have faith, and do thou (Jesus) bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims."
This narration is commonly interpreted by scholars that the one who was crucified was Judah al-Askharyuti and although I affirmed this interpretation in my book, The Prophet Muhammad the Last Messenger in the Bible, it should be known that we were all mistaken in this case. This interpretation was influenced and tainted by Christian tradition. Every person makes mistakes in writing because that is a trait of humans, but Allah does not make mistakes. On the contrary, the Quran proves that the disciples of Jesus were not only truthful but also inspired by Allah therefore, not a traitor was amongst them as also mentioned in Surat As-Saf: 14, " O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: as said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, " Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the Disciples, " We are Allah's helpers!" Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed and a portion disbelieved: but we gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed". These verses align with the narration of Ibn Abbas. The narration alone only proves that Jesus asked and chose a person to be his simulacrum but what happened after were only theories and analysis.
In 1945, lost Gospels and Scriptures, were discovered in Egypt and more than 50,000 documents were found. Among them were Gospels that were used by Christians in previous times. When Constantinople in 312 AD became Christian, before that, there were many Gospels available. By the time Constantinople converted and introduced the Trinity, they rejected these bibles. One of them included the Gospel of Judah and this quote is found:
"Knowing that Judas was reflecting upon something that was exalted, Jesus said to him, "Step away from the others and I shall tell you the mysteries of the kingdom. It is possible for you to reach it, but you will grieve a great deal. [36] For someone else will replace you…"
(As found in the Gospel of Judas)
Insert photo of Gospel of Judas
Anything after that is just history and cannot be discussed because we do not have any source for it. From the beginning of Jewish history, people have claimed to be the Messiah, there were multiple people in jail because of the claims of removing the Romans.
Now understanding the context, the Romans summoned all the disciples and interrogated them one by one checking their names without lying and they said "one of you is a liar, one of you has to be Jesus" so they brought in Jewish witnesses to check their names and make sure none of them was Jesus but all of the witnesses pointed to someone and said, "He looks like Jesus" referring to Judah. The Romans said they wanted Jesus, where is Jesus, students and jews alike responded that he raised to Heaven, he is no longer on earth. They released them and sought out Jesus not understanding how to deal with the situation about Muhammad coming to finish Roman rule. They figured since having several in jail claiming to be the Messiah, all liars, they brought one asking are you the messiah? are you certain? are you going to destroy Roman rule? and if we crucified you? when they put him on the cross, he cried, as found in Matthew "Why have you forsaken me?" and did the same for the others in the prison and some denied messiahship, etc. None of the Disciples were witnesses to these crucifixions mentioned and dispersed after they were released.
The Jews that were against Jesus were in alliance with the Romans and made a consensus to announce that they killed Jesus as mentioned Surat Al-Nisa 156-157, " That they rejected faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge. That they said (in boast), 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah' but they killed him not, nor crucified him. Only a likeness of that was shown to them and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge. But only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not". The rumor of the crucifixion of Jesus resulted as a very successful piece of propaganda. Because Jesus was a known figure in the community due to the news of this Prophet, it was big news to spread and manifest quickly especially with no Jesus in person as proof. But according to Proverbs 21:18 " The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the faithless cometh in the stead of the upright". In this case Jesus would not have been crucified as a righteous man, and was replaced by someone else--a sinner. This is also reaffirmed in Psalm 34: 21-22.
In conclusion, the Prophet Muhammad was the awaited Prophet in the Bible. Jesus is not God, nor the son of God and was not crucified. Humans must remove themselves from his racial, color, language, culture, history in order to accept the truth and follow the truth to be at peace with the Creator through Islam.

text: Olivia Palermo, the well-dressed socialite with her own eponymous blog, has blasted her time on reality TV as "ridiculous." The fashion plate is clearly keen to put her time on MTV well behind her. "I think from the beginning of my career . . . being in television . . . that was completely — it was just ridiculous, it was not me at all," she tells Page Six Magazine. When asked directly about her time on MTV's "The City," which pitted her against Whitney Port and followed her "careers" doing p.r. for Diane von Furstenberg and working at Elle, Palermo bristled and looked to her rep for guidance. "Um . . . it's a learning experience," she says of her time on the show. "That's how I always put it. I'm very happy in the career I'm in now, and that's the end of the matter." Palermo, who in addition to writing her blog works as an ambassador to several brands, lives in DUMBO with her model boyfriend Johannes Huebl. For more, see Page Six Magazine, free in the New York Post on Thursday.

Here's a little taste of my looks at the show!
This was one of the best days of my entire life. I have to just say the stylists were BEYOND great this year. FIT set up the great hall so perfectly and having the chance to share my work with my family was the most incredible feeling. After it all happened though I really truly wished that every student got a chance to be a part of it, even more than I wished it before. It was the most exciting thing, and is something I will remember forever.
Congrats everyone… It was super impressive.
More photos to come!

WASHINGTON -- When the history is written, I suspect the brutal budget battle transfixing the nation will be seen as much more than a spectacular partisan showdown. Careful historians will, I think, cast it as a symbolic turning point for post-World War II institutions -- mainly the welfare state and the consumer credit complex -- that depended on strong economic growth that has now, sadly, gone missing. The story behind the story is that prolonged slow growth threatens historic changes to our political and social order.
Economic growth is a wondrous potion. It encourages lending because borrowers can repay from rising incomes. It supports bigger government because a growing economy expands the tax base and makes modest deficits bearable. Despite recessions, it buoys public optimism because people are getting ahead. The presumption of strong economic growth supported the spirit and organizational structures of postwar America.
Everyday life was transformed. Credit cards, home equity loans, 30-year mortgages, student loans and long-term auto loans (more than 2 years) became common. In 1955, household debt was 49 percent of Americans' disposable income; by 2007, it was 137 percent. Government moved from the military-industrial complex to the welfare state. In 1955, defense spending was 62 percent of federal outlays, and spending on "human resources" (the welfare state) was 22 percent. By 2012, the figures were reversed; welfare was 66 percent, defense 19 percent. Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Pell grants and Social Security's disability program are all postwar creations.
Slow economic growth now imperils this postwar order. Credit standards have tightened, and more Americans are leery of borrowing. Government spending -- boosted by an aging population eligible for Social Security and Medicare -- has outrun our willingness to be taxed. The mismatch is the basic cause of "structural" budget deficits and, by extension, today's strife over the debt ceiling and the government "shutdown."
The temptation is to think that stronger economic growth will ultimately rescue us and make choices easier.
This is economic growth's appeal. It provides the extra income to buy more of what we want. We explain the weak economy as the hangover from the financial crisis and the Great Recession. Their legacy of caution and pessimism will, with time, dissipate. The economy will strengthen. This is plausible.
But it's equally plausible that slow growth will persist. We rebel at the notion. As economist Stephen D. King writes in his book "When the Money Runs Out -- The End of Western Affluence":
"Our societies are not geared for a world of very low growth. Our attachment to the Enlightenment idea of ongoing progress -- a reflection of persistent postwar economic success -- has left us with little knowledge or understanding of worlds in which rising prosperity is no longer guaranteed."
His glum outlook is more than idle speculation. In a recent column, I noted that annual U.S. economic growth has averaged slightly more than 3 percent since 1950 but predictions of future growth cluster around 2 percent. Significantly, the forecast slowdown reflects factors that are only weakly related, if at all, to the recession, as Cato Institute economist Brink Lindsey shows in a new study.
Lindsey attributes U.S. economic growth to four factors: (a) greater labor-force participation, mainly by women; (b) better-educated workers, as reflected in increased high-school and college graduation rates; (c) more invested "capital" per worker (that's machines and computers); and (d) technological and organizational innovation. The trouble, he writes, is that "all growth components have fallen off simultaneously."
Take women's labor-force participation. From 1950 to 2000, it surged from 30.9 percent to 59.9 percent; but in 2012, it was 57.7 percent, with the falloff starting before the recession. Some older women are retiring; some younger women are staying home. High-school and college graduation rates have leveled off and, in some cases, declined. Business investment rates have also dropped. It seems that "only a surge in [innovation] can keep U.S. economic growth from faltering," writes Lindsey. But innovation, too, has weakened.
Admittedly, predictions like these aren't infallible. Actual growth could exceed expectations. Still, slow growth is more than scare talk. When adjusted for population increases, it reduces per capita income gains to 1 percent to 1.5 percent annually, Lindsey calculates. That's half to three-quarters the historical rate. The amount is small enough to be skimmed off by rising taxes, higher health insurance premiums or growing inequality. For many households, it would mean stagnation or worse.
What looms -- it's already occurred in Europe -- is a more contentious future. Economic growth serves as social glue that neutralizes other differences. Without it, economic and political competition becomes a game of musical chairs, where "one person's gain is another's loss," King writes. There's a "breakdown of trust," as expectations are continually disappointed. It's an often ugly process that is convincingly confirmed by Washington's current political firestorm.

Boozer: Foreign Teams, Show Me the Money!
August 11, 2008
First, this.
Now, this:
Boozer, who is eligible to opt out of the final season of his six-year, $68-million contract next offseason, said he would be open to all offers — including with a foreign team.
"As a business decision, we definitely would have to look at it," said Boozer, in Beijing as a second-time Olympian. "But it doesn't mean that you're on the next flight out."
He said he would "absolutely" consider the possibility, "if my wife was down with it and the money was right."
This is typical Boozer. All talk and no action. Can you stop talking about leaving, and just do it? I promise I won't call you "Betrayal Skull Dude." I'll be happy for you that you're making all that money elsewhere. Really.

The UK's nuclear warheads are designed and maintained by the staff of the Atomic Weapons Establishment. Stephen White explains the vital role played by researchers there
The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) is the home of the UK's nuclear deterrent and is responsible for the entire lifecycle of the country's warheads from research and design through assembly to in-service support and, finally, decommissioning and disposal. AWE also plays a vital role in national security and international monitoring of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Its core mission is to build and maintain the warheads for the submarine-launched Trident ballistic-missile system that forms the UK's sole nuclear deterrent. It is also required to maintain the capability to design a warhead to replace Trident, should it ever be required.
In order to perform all these tasks, AWE carries out world-class science in some of the most challenging fields, including explosive detonation, hydrodynamics, high-strain-rate deformation behaviour, radiation physics and computer modelling. The AWE site at Aldermaston in Berkshire includes all the facilities needed to carry out this science – extremely fast supercomputers, areas for explosive trials and experimental facilities for high-energy-density physics. It employs researchers in not just nuclear physics, but all branches of the subject: from atomic and condensed-matter physics to astrophysics and quantum physics.
AWE is currently investing in its building and facilities in order to support Trident safely and reliably for the next 20 years. But behind all these facilities are the people. AWE currently employs 4300 staff and 1500 contractors across its sites in Aldermaston and nearby Burghfield, and it prides itself on recruiting only the best people in science, engineering and technology. Maintaining the UK's nuclear deterrent is not textbook science – everything AWE does is innovative. It carries out experiments on materials under extreme temperatures, strain rates and pressures that are over in the blink of an eye. AWE needs technical experts in a wide variety of physics fields to be able to understand and model the phenomena of interest.
Explosive research
I applied to work at AWE after completing my undergraduate degree in physics at Lancaster University in 1993. I was looking for a career in physics research, and AWE seemed to offer everything I wanted. I was recruited into the hydrodynamics department as a research scientist and spent the first few years carrying out experiments in the explosive facilities researching the detonation of condensed high explosives. During this time AWE sponsored me to carry out a part-time MSc in numerical methods at the Royal Military College at Shrivenham. I also had the opportunity to publish my work and travel to many conferences around the world.
In 2000 my team and I moved to the theoretical- physics area on site, where I started leading a team of scientists looking into models of shear strength in condensed matter. At this time I also embarked on a company-sponsored part-time PhD in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Within two years I was asked to lead the theoretical material-modelling group, consisting of some 25 staff – quite a leap for a mere scientist! In January this year I moved back to the hydrodynamics division to head up its science group of 50 full-time employees. I have lots of opportunities to develop in both technical and business matters, and I travel regularly to work with AWE's international counterparts. No two days are ever the same.
Most of the physicists at AWE work within the Directorate for Research and Applied Science. The directorate has about 1100 staff, of whom some 600 are scientists – a mixture of physicists, chemists, materials scientists, computational scientists and mathematicians. There is a roughly even split between theoretical and experimental staff, although we all work closely together to deliver integrated programmes.
Although the science and technology we need is self-contained at AWE, we do have active external collaborations, consultancies and contracts. We work with UK universities to employ summer students and foster graduate and postgraduate research, thus helping to develop the scientists of the future. We also contract work out to industry, thereby helping to invigorate technological advances in the UK as a whole. We have regular audits of our technical work, which allow top academics and experienced workers in industry access to our work, and we take on board their suggestions for future research directions. There is also an ongoing peer-review process with our colleagues in the US weapons laboratories that allows the exchange of data, ideas and staff under the auspices of the 1958 US/UK Mutual Defence Agreement.
Continuing development
Many scientists at AWE say that working in a technical area at Aldermaston is like being back at university but with higher pay and greater job security. AWE encourages its researchers to publish externally, to attend and speak at prestigious international conferences, to write textbooks, to assist the research councils with paper reviews and funding approvals, and to advise and direct UK technical policy. Substantial funding is also allocated to blue-sky work, where it is relevant to the core business.
AWE has a recognized graduate scheme for all recently graduated scientists and engineers that lasts about two years. The focus is on learning more about the wider company and workplace skills. An attractive remuneration package goes along with this. AWE continues to take professional development very seriously beyond the first few years, with on-the-job mentoring by experienced staff, funding for higher education and postdoctoral work, and placements at international facilities. The company vision is to be "internationally recognized for science, engineering and technology", and as such AWE constantly strives for excellence – mediocrity simply will not do.

The name pennyroyal refers to two related plants: Mentha pulegium (European pennyroyal) and Hedeoma pulegioides (American pennyroyal). Pennroyal is a member of the mint family. Applied topically, pennyroyal has been used since the time of ancient Greece to repel fleas and other insects. Pennyroyal has been taken internally in Europe and North America for a variety of conditions, including colds and flus, coughs, kidney problems, headache, and upset stomach, as well as to induce abortion. Unfortunately, traditional herbalists do not appear to have noticed an essential fact about pennyroyal: it is toxic to the liver. In modern times, people have died as a consequence of using this herb according to traditional indications.
The essential oil of pennyroyal contains a substance called pulegone. In the body, pulegone is converted to the toxic chemical menthofuran. 1 Low levels of menthofuran may not produce any untoward effects. At a certain point, however, depending on the individual, menthofuran poisons the nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, hallucinations, seizures, and possibly unconsciousness. Liver damage possibly leading to liver failure occurs subsequently.
Because of these safety risks, and the fact that pennyroyal has not been proven effective for a single medical use, we recommend that you entirely avoid this herb. We do not even recommend using it topically as an insect repellant, because it is possible that enough pulegone could be absorbed to cause harm.

newspapers are more expensive is that firstly the cover price is significantly higher,
and secondly, the weight of the weekend papers are very much greater. If you consider
the number of supplements now included in weekend newspapers today, the weight means
that postage costs can be considerably higher.

I don't think that a tattoo can help you to get really ripped. I think you should do a tattoo if you really want it, for yourself and for you pleasure. As for me I adore tattoos and I want to choose one from [URL="http://thewildtattoo.com/elephant-tattoo/"]http://thewildtattoo.com/elephant-tattoo/[/URL] and I cannot choose only one, I want to have all!
In my opinion it is better to get ripped before doing a tattoo, but hopefully there are a lot of tattoos which will look the same on any body shape. Especially for men, you can choose you favorite among the list of ready design and pictures. Here is a website just for example [URL="https://tattoozza.com/mens-tattoo"]https://tattoozza.com/mens-tattoo[/URL], pick up want you like and go straight ahead!
Agree with a previous post as for your own decision. When I was thinking about all ins and outs in this very point, the main aspects were the right professional expert and image that is worthy to be on my body for a long period of time. Taking all those thoughts into consideration, I aaplied to those [URL="http://flowertattooideas.com/tribal-orchid-tattoo-ideas/"]guys[/URL] , copied their image and did the same one. But nevertheless you will be great with this tattoo.
I remember the first time when I decided to get a tattoo. I was thinking about it for months. What kind of tattoo do I want? In what theme and what it would be mean. And then I decided to combine my love for sunflowers and the idea of a tattoo. I found some sketches of tattoos for women [URL="http://flowertattooideas.com/amazing-sleeve-sunflower-tattoos/"]http://flowertattooideas.com/amazing-sleeve-sunflower-tattoos/[/URL]and saw perfect example which I wanted to have on my body. Now I'm looking for new sketches of flowers or maybe some cats. Do you have any ideas? plz share...
I always have one answer about tattoos..DO IT if you want it that much.
And don't forget about their meaning for you. You will have it for the rest of your life and I think you need to be perfectly sure what exactly you want to have.
For example, my father is ornithologist and I spent my whole life with birds and talks about them..It's not a surprise that my first tattoo was a bird.
[URL="http://inkprofy.com/bird-tattoos/"]http://inkprofy.com/bird-tattoos/[/URL] I chose not only a picture but also a perfect "meaning"..

Don't Do Drones!
No More Bombing — No More Spying
In unity with the Days of Action to Stop Drone Warfare, Mouths Wide Open is unleashing its own squadron of drones for peace and invites you to join with us by making and launching your own! Inspired by the 1,000 Paper Cranes for Peace, we wanted to create something that was both socially engaged and visually evocative. We encourage you to download our template so you can print, construct and then dispatch your drones around your neighborhood, the country, the globe – as everyday reminders of the ongoing horrors of war and the expanding culture of surveillance. In the same do-it-yourself, collective spirit of our Army Men Project (2005-2010), we hope you will assemble and disperse these silent, under-the-radar paper protests everywhere – at the mall, on a gas pump, at the office, in a bookstore or movie theatre, at your post office, in public restrooms, at the 7-11, in the produce section of your grocery store … to foster dialogue, action and resistance to what is being done in our name. Just click on the model drone above or here for the template/instructions, and for more about taking photos of your drones in situ and sending them, along with your comments, to us.
There are many groups/coalitions actively involved in ongoing efforts and actions to end drone warfare and drone spying. Please check out www.knowdrones.com and www.droneswatch.org, which each have links to other organizations – and, of course, stay in touch (as we do) with Code Pink www.codepink4peace.org.
Who We Are
Mouths Wide Open is an ad hoc group that came together in early 2002 to raise our voices and act on our convictions. While many of us are theatre artists, visual artists, musicians, singers, actors and writers, we're also bookkeepers, students, carpenters, researchers, teachers, fact-checkers, scientists, bike messengers and flea market mavens. We're committed to fostering dialogue, creating and disseminating materials that spread the message of alternative thought, and encouraging others to join together in a similar spirit. We recognize the need for community and organization, for resistance and action, and for the pooling of time, energy and resources. There is strength in numbers.
Our commitment to working for change is ongoing. Something can always be done. Our motto – "The job of a citizen is to keep your mouth open." – refers to the serious, engaged, 24/7 job of being a citizen. Democracy can't flourish without active citizens enriching and enlivening its fundamental principles; and our global community can't survive without each of us seeing ourselves as global citizens, committed to fighting for a sustainable, equitable and creative world.

Instructional management solutions such as Kickboard integrate academic and behavioral data, allowing educators to make decisions based on a 360-degree understanding of the whole child
NEW ORLEANS — Feb. 4, 2014 — Research shows that student learning is affected by nonacademic as well as academic factors. Enabling students to achieve their full potential requires integrating learning outcome data with information about special needs, interventions, and social/emotional factors. To help K-12 educators gain insight into how this data can be used for better classroom management and to create a high-performing school culture, Kickboard today announces the publication of a new white paper titled, "Instructional Management Solutions: Creating a High-Performing School Climate by Capturing, Analyzing and Acting Upon 360-Degree Student Data."
The paper can be accessed at: http://bit.ly/162lq6n
The paper, which will be released this week at the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) 2014 Convention, explores the variety of data points educators should collect and analyze, so as to make instructional decisions based on a "360-degree" understanding of the whole child. It also examines the obstacles to acquiring and understanding those data points, and how instructional management systems can simplify the process by integrating and organizing the data to make it easy to understand, act upon and share.
"In my work as a classroom teacher and in my current discussions with K-12 schools, I know first-hand how difficult it is to move from system to system to piece together data to create comprehensive student profiles. Even with technologies like student information systems and online gradebooks, many teachers still struggle to manage and organize all the valuable information they capture about their students every day," said Jennifer Medbery, CEO and founder of Kickboard. "An instructional management solution can help educators stay afloat in a sea of student data by providing a single, secure location where they can collect and analyze student performance and behavioral information for informed decision-making."
The Kickboard instructional management solution is a central hub of classroom data, where teachers can collect, analyze and share student grades, standards mastery, rubric observations, attendance, behavior and more. The platform's teacher-centric design and dashboards provide easy-to-understand, actionable information to better drive instructional decisions. With real-time data and a global, holistic view of each child, teachers can directly impact students' academic performance and behavior, and create more effective, engaged learning environments.
About Kickboard
The Kickboard instructional management solution gives K-12 educators the tools to quickly establish consistent practices for effective classroom management school- and district-wide. Using the highly configurable, web-based platform, educators can create a performance-based culture that leads to sustainable school improvement and long-term student success.

As a public health analyst at NIDA, one of my jobs is to look at data and help get information out to the public. When I heard that about 1 in 10 high school seniors had used the pain medicine Vicodin last year without a prescription, I knew there was a problem. Many people, and not just teens, think that because doctors are the ones who typically prescribe these drugs, they are safe for anyone to use. That's not true.
So, why would someone take a prescription drug that wasn't theirs? Research shows there are many reasons.
While a number of young people take prescription drugs to get high, many teens, especially girls, take them to help them concentrate when studying or to deal with physical pain. Even this type of use is considered "abuse" and is illegal since the drug was not prescribed for that person.
Not only is it illegal but it might end up affecting your health. Even if you follow the directions on the label, those instructions were written for someone else. For example, different body weights require different dosages for many medicines.
You might be saying, "Well, my friend took a prescription drug that wasn't hers and she was ok. What's the big deal?" Maybe for your friend, or even you, it was fine that time-but that may not be the case the next time. Some people aren't so lucky (like Heath Ledger). Different drugs have different effects. For example, abusing stimulants could cause your blood pressure to become dangerously high or lead to an irregular heartbeat. Or if opioids are taken with alcohol or antihistamines, they can cause you to stop breathing.
Writing this reminded me of a story I heard about an acquaintance who decided to try OxyContin at a party. She had been drinking when she took the pill and didn't know that OxyContin mixed with alcohol can have some pretty nasty effects. She became disoriented, got separated from her friends, and passed out. Fortunately, her friends found her and she recovered. She decided never again to take that kind of risk, but it's too bad she had to go through such a scary ordeal before making that choice.
When you're faced with the option to use a prescription drug that's not yours, pause and ask yourself… Is this something I really want to add to the mix? Do I want to take the chance of putting myself and my friends through what could happen? If you're reading this, you've shown that you care about yourself and your future. Show you care the next time you face a tough choice about whether or not to pop a pill that's not yours.

I like this blog. Great look and feel, very "real."
U have a point! Love the blog!
about a year ago i bought some pain med off the corner after i got in a fight. later that night i was driving and got in a wreck. when the EMT asked where it hurt i said no where and i couldn't tell them i had the meds. now i have permanent back problems. it did what it was supposed to i guess.
Well yeaah I know what you are saying..and I'm glad I read this(:
It only goes to show where there's will there's a way. Keep on trying.

beware of drugs. Save your life, make healthy choice for your life.
drugs are extremely bad for you!!!! I am so glad that people have a place to go where they can learn more about the severe effects that drugs can have on our bodies! :)

I know prescription drugs like Vicodin are used to treat back pain but they are also very additive. There are many stories about how people started out using oxycodone for their back pain but after a short time become physically addicted them and their lives are ruined. There are so many good natural products available that people can try for their back pain or exercises to strengthen their muscles that they shouldn't need these potent additive drugs.

Coming from a once-abuser of RX drugs (oxycodone 30 mg,) this blog speaks to me. Note I said once-abuser, because I am officially clean now, over a month, but through high school, I was introduced to pain medications and it was what truely helped me dive into an addiction. RX Meds are definitely for other people, and for real reasons, and at first I didn't have a real reason but that inside, I hurt, almost as much as outside. I eventually got a true, heavy prescription after injuring my back during weightlifting, and as I am no longer taking any kind of pain meds, I'm suffering more physically than anything. Quitting is the best choice, never begnning would have been better. Heed other's advice, don't take prescription drugs, especially if theyre not your own, and if you do get a prescription, ask your doctor to give you a run down. It is your right to know. If i would have known 2 years ago, before falling into a heavy addiction, what I know now, I would have been much more apt to say NO to RX drugs... Pain pills are nothing but monsters man has created & who really needs a monster in their life?
I am a physical therapist and I am amazed at how many people including teens suffer with back pain, treating it with potentially addictive prescription medication for months on end without ever getting a prescription for physical therapy from their doctor. Physical therapy is a much more effective treatment for back pain than pain meds. Stretching, exercise and massage make up the majority of the treatment that patients receive it physical therapy. Home treatment is also available.
I think it's important to mention that Heath Ledger was taking a cocktail of these RXed drugs, and also that he had an RX for at least some of them. Just because they are prescribed doesn't necessarily make them ok. Common sense plays a major roll in use of drugs, legal or otherwise.
This is very good news. Thank you for showing that you do listen. Please keep it up!
Amazing information sharing and really helpful information with unique content.

Many children's now are one of the most leading who used drugs. As a therapist [commercial link removed, per guidelines] I learned that they become addicted and destroy their future. so we must took care of them because they are just influenced by their peers.

We share these victories with our dedicated supporters around the world.
In 1971, a group of activists set sail to Amchitka Island, Alaska to protest nuclear testing. As Bob Hunter, one of the crew members put it, "Whatever history decides about the big picture, the legacy of the voyage itself is not just a bunch of guys in a fishing boat, but the Greenpeace the entire world has come to love and hate." Since then, with a combination of daring action, solid science, and political pressure, Greenpeace has revealed the threats, confronted the villains and forced the solutions necessary for a green and peaceful world.
We're 100 percent supporter funded which means our fights are your fights. Our 250,000 members in the United States and 2.8 million members worldwide provide virtually all of our funding through individual contributions. Your support provides the backbone of our organization and is invaluable to our efforts. Thank you for making all this possible.
October 2014: After more than one million people respond to Greenpeace's Save the Arctic campaign LEGO ends its 50 year link with Shell. On it's website, LEGO published a statement committing to 'not renew the co-promotion contract with Shell'.
During Greenpeace's three month campaign, over a million people signed a petition calling on LEGO to stop promoting Shell's brand because of its plans to drill for oil in the pristine Arctic. In stark contrast to Shell, LEGO's policies include a commitment to produce more renewable energy than they use, phase out oil in their products and, in cooperation with its partners, leave a better world for future generations. And that's kind of a big deal.
"You're trying to get your children into the 21st century. To hell with the rules". David McTaggart, Founder, Greenpeace International (1932-2001)
For all that Greenpeace has achieved since it's founding in 1971, there remains much work to be done. The challenges – and the consequences of failure – are ever greater, which is why Greenpeace is unafraid to reach beyond what is expected and seeks to accomplish what is most needed. As we move forward toward these critically needed goals, Greenpeace celebrates the milestones we achieve along the way.
World Park Antarctica Declared
In the early 80's the threat of commercial exploitation of Antarctica loomed large for a number of reasons. Greenpeace believed to protect the pristine wilderness it warranted "World Park" designation. It soon became apparent that the organization would have to set up a permanent base on the ice if it was to have a voice at the Antarctica Treaty table. Greenpeace remained on the ice for a total of five years from 1987 to 1991, at which point the 39 Antarctic Treaty signatories agreed to a 50-year minimum prohibition of all mineral exploitation, in effect preserving the continent for peaceful, scientific purposes.
Kyoto Ratified: Global Warming on Notice
In 2004, more than a decade of lobbying, scientific research, and direct non-violent action by Greenpeace and environmental groups around the world came to fruition as Russia ratified the Kyoto Protocol, bringing to force the world's sole global effort to address the dangers of global warming.
Commercial Whaling, Banned
Our work to save the whales is perhaps the most well-known Greenpeace campaign. Our tradition of physically placing activist bodies between the harpoons and the whales has helped save the lives of whales on site and influenced worldwide laws for their protection. But our work in the water is just a fraction of our efforts to protect these amazing animals and that work continues today - 28 years after a moratorium banned commercial whaling. On June 25th, 2010, thanks to the efforts of Greenpeace, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) rejected a proposal to repeal this ban. The repeal was initially supported by the Obama administration, until they heard from some 1.5 million supporters who wrote letters, signed petitions and participated in "Save the Whales" rallies designed to pressure the president to honor his campaign promise and stand with Greenpeace and the whales. The change in position by the president was instrumental in preventing the ban from being lifted.
Brent Spar Comes Ashore
In 1995, Greenpeace activists occupied the Brent Spar oil storage facility in the North Sea. Shell, the world's then-largest oil company, planned to simply dump the 14,500 ton installation into the ocean. In what is remembered as one of the most significant Greenpeace successes of the 1990s, the company reversed its decision and agreed to dismantle and recycle the Spar on land.
A Worldwide Ban on Large-scale Driftnets on the High Seas
In the 1980's, Greenpeace ran a high-profile campaign to expose the atrocities associated with the use of large-scale driftnets. As a result of these efforts, the United Nations invoked a moratorium on high seas large-scale driftnets in 1989, in response to public outrage at their indiscriminate destruction to sea life. Greenpeace exposed driftnets as "walls of death" due to their ability to entangle and kill most species that swim into them, including dolphins, sharks, seals, squids and many species of birds. In 1992, a worldwide ban was put into force.
A Ban on Dumping Radioactive Waste at Sea
After five years of intensive campaigning by Greenpeace that involved repeated actions combined with aggressive diplomatic efforts, the Parties to the London Dumping Convention invoked a moratorium on radioactive waste dumping at sea in 1983. This officially became the first year since the end of the second world war in which no radioactive wastes were dumped in the ocean. In 1993, the Convention permanently banned the dumping of radioactive and industrial waste at sea world-wide.
Protection for Paradise Forests in Indonesia
In just eight weeks, a global Greenpeace campaign transformed Nestlé from a company driving rainforest destruction, to one pioneering an ambitious new policy to ensure its products have a zero deforestation footprint. Under its new policy, announced in May 2010, Nestlé committed to identify and exclude companies from its supply chain that own or manage "high risk plantations or farms linked to deforestation." This exclusion applied to companies such as Sinar Mas, Indonesia's most notorious palm oil and pulp and paper supplier. It also had implications for palm oil traders, such as Cargill. Greenpeace achieved similar victories with Burger King, when the company dropped Sinar Mas from their supply chain as a result of our efforts; and HSBC – the world's largest banking and financial services company – when it dropped Sinar Mas from its investment management funds.
Slaughtering the Amazon No More
Following a Greenpeace report and a targeted campaign against companies such as Nike, Adidas and Timberland who source leather for their shoes from Brazil, four of the biggest players in the global cattle industry joined forces to stop deforestation in the Amazon. The companies agreed to stop purchasing cattle from newly deforested areas after the shoe companies and major beef buyers like McDonald's threatened to cancel contracts unless their beef and leather products were guaranteed to be free from links to Amazon destruction. The meat companies Marfrig, Bertin, JBS-Friboi and Minerva signed a formal moratorium, which included a pledge for better protection of the rainforest.
Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement
In May 2010, Greenpeace helped bring about passage of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, which brought eight environmental groups and 21 forest companies together to establish protection for 178 million acres of Canadian Boreal Forest. The agreement included a logging moratorium on nearly 71 million acres that covers virtually all of the habitat of the threatened woodland caribou. This significant victory resulted from almost a decade of hard hard-fought campaigning, intense market pressure and peaceful direct action. It paves the way to permanently protect vast areas of wilderness and biodiversity in the Canadian Boreal Forest and secure billions of tons of stored carbon that would otherwise contribute to climate change if the forest was logged.
Great Bear Rainforest
After ten years of difficult, dangerous and - at times - heartbreaking work, and thousands of activists from around the world taking action, one of the world's treasures, the Great Bear Rainforest, was saved from destruction in February 2006. The final agreement, announced by the British Columbian Government, provided full protection of one-third of the Great Bear Rainforest from any logging, and ensured that the logging industry implemented a strict ecosystem-based management system in the other two thirds of the forest that is outside strict protection.
Natural Refrigerants are the Coolest
Refrigeration and cooling have an often-overlooked but nonetheless major impact on global warming.
Our first big success on natural refrigerants came in 1992, when Greenpeace developed an alternative refrigerator that did not use the extremely potent greenhouse gases HFCs and HCFCs. Over 400 million refrigerators utilizing this technology have been sold in Europe, Asia, and South America by leading brands including Whirlpool, Bosch, Haier, Panasonic, LG, Miele, Electrolux, and Siemens.
In 2004, Coca-Cola, Unilever and McDonalds, founded Refrigerants Naturally with Greenpeace and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Pepsico joined in 2008.
In 2009, the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) was founded. It is a consortium of 400 companies with a total revenue of about $2.8 trillion and represents the world's leading consumer brands and retailers. In November 2010, the Consumer Goods Forum Board passed a resolution to phase out HFCs in new refrigeration units starting in 2015.The CGF victory caps a 20 year campaign and transforms an entire sector of industry by eliminating HFCs.
An End to Kleercut Logging
When an individual makes an environmentally-conscious choice, it is an important step for conservation. But when a corporation implements an environmentally-conscious policy, that impact is amplified thousands of times over. In a tremendous victory for ancient forests, Kimberly-Clark, the company known for its popular brands like Kleenex, Scott, and Cottonelle, announced a new policy that placed it among the industry leaders in sustainability. The largest global tissue producer had up to that point been primarily using virgin fibers from the Canadian Boreal Forest to produce its products. The announcement brought the five-year Greenpeace "Kleercut" campaign to a successful completion, created a model of sustainability for forest-products companies worldwide, and ensured that K-C will no longer be purchasing pulp from critical Boreal habitat unless strict ecological criteria are met.
Electronics Go Greener
The amount of electronic products discarded globally has skyrocketed recently, with 20-50 million tons generated every year. To encourage electronic companies to reduce "e-waste," we released a "Guide to Greener Electronics." In response, companies like Apple, Phillips and Motorola have changed their ways.
Stockholm Convention Eliminates Dangerous Pollutants
In 2004, the Stockholm Convention came into force following years of lobbying by Greenpeace and other environmental organizations. A key feature of the Convention called for the elimination of all Persistent Organic Pollutants. They include intentionally produced chemicals, such as pesticides and PCBs, as well as byproducts such as cancer-causing dioxins that are released from industries that use chlorine and from waste incinerators.
Precautionary Principle Adopted for GE Food
Genetic engineering enables scientists to create plants, animals and micro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that does not occur naturally. To protect the environment and human health from the risks of GE food, Greenpeace has campaigned to stop its release into our environment since 1995. We scored a big win in 2000 when the Biosafety Protocol was adopted in Montreal, Canada. This agreement mandates that countries take precautionary measures to prevent GMOs from causing harm to biodiversity and human health.
