Sticky fondant is impossible to work with, and there are several reasons why it can happen. Some brands of shop-bought fondant are worse than others for handling, and sometimes it's in which environment you are working.
If you make your own fondant it may be due to the recipe you are following. On the other hand, it may be the brand of confectioners/icing sugar you are using.
Whatever is causing your sticky fondant, there are ways to fix it so don't despair just read on and find out what to do.
One of the reasons your fondant is too sticky maybe because the kitchen you are working in is too warm. You may live where the climate is hot so an air conditioner would be a good investment if you plan to decorate a lot of cakes.
You may live where the climate is hot and humid so besides the air conditioner, using a dehumidifier may be the answer. It will maintain a cool and dry environment that will make your fondant easier to handle.
If you are unable to use air conditioning or a dehumidifier, don't despair because there are other ways of coping with sticky fondant.
Fondant too sticky then make sure everything is cool
Sticky fondant is not only difficult to work with: it is also most unpleasant to feel it sticking to your hands. Also, the most frustrating thing is that you can't do anything with it.
The best ways to combat sticky fondant are…
- First of all, you need to make sure your kitchen or workroom is as cool as possible. That means not working with fondant while ovens are used for baking.
- If its cooler in the evening than in the daytime then do your fondant work then. It may be humid in the evening outside, so don't be tempted to open the windows, or you will bring the humid atmosphere into your workplace.
- On the other side of your kitchen set an electric fan going on its lowest setting, so it doesn't blow the sugar all over the place. That will keep you cool while you work on the fondant.
- Cool your hands under running cold water, so you are not transferring any heat from them to the fondant, do this often while you are working if your hands get hot but remember to dry them thoroughly each time before touching the fondant.
Still not fixed your sticky fondant?
Try kneading a little more confectioners/icing sugar into the fondant, a teaspoonful at a time, but not too much because it is liable to become too dry. If, by mistake, you add too much then try warming it before you knead the fondant again and see if that helps.
After adding more confectioners/ icing sugar, you find that the fondant is still sticking to the board try sprinkling some cornstarch/cornflour onto the fondant and on the board and rolling pin as well.
Confectioners/icing sugar has a little cornstarch/cornflour added to it when it's produced to stop it clumping together but not enough to prevent sticky fondant. Don't use too much or you will find it will go the other way and be too dry the same as if you added too much confectioners/ icing sugar.
I have been using this recipe for rolling fondant for many years and I always have success with it but although I live where it gets extremely hot in the summer I only occasionally have problems with humidity so I just don't work with fondant on those days. If you have no choice but to work with it then follow the tips I have already given you.
Some brands of confectioners/icing sugar work better than others so you may have to experiment with the different brands until you find one that works well for you.
Using the wrong coloring will make your fondant sticky
If you've used liquid food color that may be the reason you have ended up with a sticky fondant mess.
The colors you must use with fondant are Gel Food Colors. These have been specially developed so they don't alter the consistency of the fondant.
I have written an article on how to color gum paste but it also applies to fondant as well.
There are plenty of brands of gel color on the market and some are better than others. I have always used SugarFlair but there are lots to choose from so if you want to get an idea of how good or bad they are then read the reviews on them on websites such as Amazon written by people who have used them and then you can choose.
If you want a very dark colored fondant it will mean adding a large amount of coloring gel to get the depth of color you require. If you do your fondant will still be liable to become sticky.
If you require a dark fondant for a one-off project it may be a good idea to buy it from a cake supplier. The fondant will have been colored professionally, in by the producer and will not be sticky. It will be much better than trying to start with white fondant and color it yourself.
How do you harden rolling fondant flowers?
Your three-dimensional fondant flowers, petals, and leaves may not be firm enough to keep their shape when they are dry. Try kneading in some gum tragacanth or CMC into the fondant, especially if you live where it is hot and humid
If you don't want the flowers to be too hard, then add one teaspoon of either gum tragacanth or CMC/Tylose to 500g fondant. It will be ideal for simple 2D or 3D flowers that you want to keep their shape but will be cut and eaten with the cake.
If you want to make more elaborate flowers, e.g. wired, then two teaspoons of gum tragacanth or CMC/Tylose to 500g fondant.
Remember if you add gum tragacanth to fondant it needs to be left for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before you can use. If you add CMC you can use it straight away.
With the addition of gum to your fondant, flowers will set quite hard, especially if you add the more substantial amount and should set hard enough to make wired flowers.
However, be wary of using fondant with gum added to make flowers if they are being transported to a venue as the vibration of the vehicle may break them.
If you feel it is safe to transport the cake, check beforehand that the venue has air conditioning. If it has a humid atmosphere, your flowers may break easily, and in extreme cases, flowers have been known to melt.
Rolling fondant is for covering a cake and has ingredients added to it that allow the fondant to set but always to stay soft enough to be cut easily.
Even if you add gum to rolling fondant to make elaborate wired flowers, they will never set as hard as flowers made with gum paste.
If your fondant is sticky because you live where it's hot and humid, you may like to read an article I've written that covers those types of situations. It's called "Tips for Extreme Weather Cake Decorators: Rolling Fondant."
Tips for Extreme Weather Cake Decorators: Rolling Fondant
Have I solved your sticky fondant problems?
Most of the time, fixes I have covered in this article work well, but there are always exceptions.
There have been occasions when I have been unable to understand why nothing will put the fondant right, and I've to throw it away and started again.
Fortunately, for me, those times have been few and far between and its always been with fondant I bought from a cake supplier, not with my homemade fondant.
Each time I suspect there was something wrong with that particular batch so perhaps it was a good thing I couldn't fix it.
I hope I have covered enough fixes to enable you to solve your sticky fondant problems. If I haven't and you still have a fondant problem that I haven't covered leave a message in the comments below, and I will try my best to find a solution for you.
Also, If you have any other fixes, you use, then please share them with us in the comments below.

A by-election was held in January of 1993 for the Freetown seat in Belize after the UDP incumbent, Derek Aikman, was declared a bankrupt by the courts late in 1992. In that by-election, the PUP's Jorge Espat easily defeated the UDP's Howell Longsworth. This result meant that the PUP held 17 seats in the House of Representatives, while the UDP, which had previously lost Stanley Usher's Toledo West seat to PUP machinations, was reduced to 11 seats from the 13 they had won in the September 1989 general elections.
The momentum from the Freetown by-election victory helped propel the ruling PUP to a landslide victory in the March 1993 Belize City Council election, at a time when the Opposition was divided between Manuel Esquivel's UDP and Philip Goldson's NABR.
With the Opposition in serious disarray, the PUP decided to call general elections fifteen months before they were due. More than two decades after those June 30, 1993 generals, it is clear to us that the primary reason for the early elections was to get Ralph Fonseca into the House of Representatives, so that he could become the legal Minister of Finance. Fonseca had been doing the Finance Minister's job for years, because the Rt. Hon. Mr. George Price elected to the Pickstock seat and appointed Prime Minister and Minister of Finance in September of 1989, was not the same Mr. Price he had been before. Ralph Fonseca, who had been badly beaten in 1984 by Dean Barrow in Queen's Square in Ralph's only political involvement as a candidate, had been introduced into Cabinet through a Senate appointment in 1989.
Early in their 1989 to 1993 term, the PUP decided to create a Belize Rural Central seat in order to increase the number of House seats from an even number (28) to an odd number (29), to prevent any future possibility of a tie in seats between the two major parties. This had almost happened in September of 1989. The PUP was leading by a narrow 14-13 margin on election night when the final seat went to their Guadalupe Pech in Orange Walk South, thus making the final result 15-13 in favor of the blue.
Mr. Price's niece, Dolores Balderamos-Garcia, was being groomed for the new Rural Central seat, but Mr. Price and Mr. Said Musa asked her to step aside for Mr. Fonseca, which she did.
The PUP decided to call early general elections in 1993 because, not only did it not seem possible that they could lose, the Opposition being as divided as it was, but they felt they needed to get Ralph Fonseca into the House as quickly as possible. What then happened was that the UDP and NABR immediately forged an alliance, and that UDP/NABR coalition won a surprise victory by a 16-13 margin.
The PUP called early general elections in June 1993 because the results of the January Freetown by-election and the March CitCo elections had been completely in their favor. It is also important to recall that just a couple of months after being elected, Jorge Espat had delivered his now famous "bloated contracts" speech at a Police passing-out parade in Belmopan, and the PUP inner circle knew that this speech constituted an indirect attack on Ralph Fonseca, who was handling all Belize's public funds but was not an elected member of the House.
In any case, it is possible to see the Freetown by-election of January 1993 as contributing to the PUP decision to call early general elections. The Jorge Espat victory immediately increased PUP electoral confidence, while raising concern over Ralph's unelected status once their new Freetown area representative attacked him.
The Freetown by-election precedent suggests to us that it will be difficult for the PUP to defend the Cayo North seat which their Joseph Mahmud decided to vacate on Monday morning via an unprecedented letter of resignation from the House. Since the ruling UDP has two more years to handle public funds before their five-year term is completed, they will be able to offer more credible promises than the PUP to Cayo North voters in next month's by-election campaign. This is apart from the fact that the UDP treasury presently appears to be more robust than the PUP one.
A UDP victory in the Cayo North by-election could have an impact on the March 2015 national municipal elections, even if that impact is only on campaign financiers. On the face of it, the 2014 PUP is hardly as divided as the Opposition was in early 1993, when the UDP and NABR were at each other's throats, but Joseph Mahmud's resignation was an angry one. He had made news last month when he announced that he would not be seeking re-election. When he resigned on Monday from the House, he had not even consulted with, or warned, the PUP leadership. The nature of Mahmud's resignation gave credence to reports that he and the PUP Cayo South representative, Julius Espat, who had replaced Mahmud as the PUP's Western Caucus leader, had major differences which may have become irreconcilable.
The PUP does not appear to have enough time for a candidate convention to decide between attorney Michel Chebat and businessman Richard Harrison as their Cayo North candidate for the by-election, so the choice will have to be an executive one. There are executive factions within the PUP, and they have chosen sides.
Joseph Mahmud's resignation is a bad blow for the PUP. But, it may end up down the road as a good thing for them. In this essay we have argued that Jorge Espat's by-election victory in Freetown helped to increase PUP confidence to the point of that arrogance which led to their calling general elections fifteen months early. It was a complete shock to the PUP when the UDP were returned to office.
No one could have foreseen that the same PUP which barely won in September 1989 could have become so sure of itself by early 1993. Similarly, it is hard to conceive that the UDP which barely won in March of 2012 could become arrogant in 2015. But, after Mahmud and the municipals, anything will be possible.

By JEFF AMY
Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – Jackson State University's temporary leader is asking alumni to dig into their pockets to overcome the school's cash crunch.
In a letter sent Monday, interim President Rod Paige says expenses are exceeding income and asks graduates to each contribute $100 to an "urgent fundraising campaign" that seeks to raise $5 million.
Paige, a former U.S. Secretary of Education and JSU graduate, says he'll lead by example, contributing $10,000 himself.
Tax filings show JSU's foundation has collected about $3.7 million annually in recent years.
Paige writes that midyear state budget cuts make it harder for JSU. He says the university seeks to cut spending without harming programs.
President Carolyn Meyers resigned under College Board pressure last year, after trustees said she spent down JSU's cash reserves to a dangerously low level.

Kim Kardashian Is a Fan of Nipple Shields, but Not Breastfeeding in Public
The mom of two discussed breastfeeding challenges on her blog. Turns out she loves nipple shields, but breastfeeding in public? Not so much.
My daughter was 3 when my son was born, and in the beginning, every time I went to breastfeed him, she'd cover her eyes and race out of the room. But Kim Kardashian West apparently has the opposite problem with her daughter when she tries to nurse her two-month-old son Saint.
"For some reason, North hates when I feed the baby, and she lays on my lap so Saint can't be right in front of me to eat," the 35-year-old reality star wrote on in a post on her app. "I've started to include her. Sometimes I will pump and have her feed him the bottle. That totally worked! She loved helping me, as opposed to my attention being off her, and now she is my little helper."
So cute!
Just dont expect to see this adorable display out on the town anytime soon. Because despite the fact that Kardashian rose to fame on reality TV and is no stranger to posing for nude pictures, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star isn't exactly comfortable breastfeeding in public.
"I say, whatever makes you comfortable goes," she wrote. "I still personally wouldn't breastfeed at a restaurant with a bunch of people I didn't know staring at me. I've seen this before and remember tweeting how shocked I was. Now that I'm a mom, I'm not that shocked, especially if you have a few kids and can't leave to breastfeed one kid in the bathroom while leaving the others at the table. But I still personally wouldn't do it, unless it was an emergency situation and I was fully covered. I would, however, breastfeed in front of my girlfriends. I think it's such a natural experience and I'm not shy about that. I know so many people get backlash for posting breastfeeding pics, but I don't mind them!"
Kardashian went on to share that breastfeeding has been easy for her, thanks to the invention of the nipple shield. "I use a nipple shield most of the time when I feed," she wrote. "I find the baby feeds better, and it allows me to never get irritated nipples or anything because they're protected by the shield. The hospital suggested shields to me, since at the beginning I found nursing super painful and difficult, so I took some home and never looked back."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) 10/06 — Indiana State Police say they've expanded their investigation of possible voter registration fraud to 57 of the state's 92 counties.
Spokesman Capt. Dave Bursten announced the expansion Thursday from the nine counties in the investigation two days earlier. He provided no details on the reason for the expansion. The expansion includes Marion County, where Indianapolis is located.
The announcement came about an hour after Patriot Majority USA, the group under investigation in the nine counties named Tuesday, said it has asked the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division to look into whether the investigation is an attempt to suppress black votes.
Bursten denied any attempt to suppress votes, saying the investigation has followed proper procedures. It has looked into whether fraudulent names or addresses were used in registering voters.

We all love drone technology, and the human race is using drones to solve everyday problems. Drones are also used for research, military operations, and weather surveillance and most recently for recreational and personal uses. Ever since drones become cheaper and more accessible to normal human beings, more and more people have acquired them.
Personal drones are in use, and people are using them to take photos of public places such as parks and records aerial videos. What most drone pilots want to know is that is it really legal to fly drones over national parks and other public places. Well, that is why I have prepared this article or you to know.
· I am going to highlight the following sub-topics;
· Acquiring a national park permit for your drone
· Permits for flying your drone over the Grand Canyon
· Drone maps and how to get and use them
· Fines for flying your drone without a permit in restricted areas
· Selling photos from your aerial drone photography
· Introduction to the World of Drone Flying
Drones are one of the most awesome technologies to be invented. These quadcopters can maneuver in the air and take breathtaking photos. You can also participate in drone racing which is a very exciting experience. Flying drones is a very interesting hobby to choose (if you are searching for one).
You can buy drones for all types of budgets. All you have to do is head online and search for the best drone which suits your needs and budget. Amazon and Bestbuy are the best places to start. Once you have bought your drone, you can use a drone simulator to help you understand the basics of drone piloting.
Are Drones Even Legal?
Drones are totally legal to purchase and fly, but there are restrictions on where you can and cannot fly your drone. Depending on the country you live in, drone regulation restrictions can vary. In the USA, it is illegal to use drones in several areas.
It is completely understandable to restrict drone flying since drones can be used in espionage missions and other damaging activities. Imagine if a terrorist used a drone to drop an explosive in a tourist attraction center or congested public area. Horrifying, isn't it?
For these reasons, the USA federal government has prohibited the flying of drones over certain areas in the country. These zones are mostly referred to as no-fly zones. It is, therefore, illegal to fly and operate drones in such areas.
No Fly Zones for Drones
Do you want to know which places over which you cannot fly your drone? Of course, you do, and every other drone pilot should know this. You should learn to avoid trouble by avoiding these zones. I have a brief guide to help you have a general idea of places you should avoid flying your drone over however tempted you are. These areas include;
1. Airports
Recreational flying is prohibited in any area where an airport is located. In short, you should not fly a drone around any airport. This includes a 5-mile radius that surrounds the airport. If you want to be on the safe side of the law and avoid a jail term or a heavy fine, avoid flying your quadcopter anywhere around a working airport.
2. Helipads
Similar to airports, drone flying is restricted around helipads. This is because a drone can distract landing and take-off of helicopters.
3. The White House
The White House in Washington DC is one of the most protected territories in the world, and therefore drone flying is restricted. Do not dare to fly your quad around this area as it will be viewed as a security threat and you could be imprisoned.
4. Sport Arenas
No personal drone is allowed over sports arenas and stadiums.
5. Wildlife Protection Areas
Wildlife protected areas are protected from drone flying, but one can acquire a permit to fly over them. Any unauthorized drone flying in these areas is illegal.
6. Other Public Areas
Public areas such as state parks, schools, military bases, some city parks. According to your area of jurisdiction, you should be aware of places you are barred from flying your drone over.
Flying Drones Over National Parks
Initially, it was legal to fly drones (UAVs) in national parks, and you wouldn't fall into any legal trouble if you fly your quadcopter over any national park. This changed in 2014 when new legislation banned recreational flying and operating quadcopters in any national park without permission. The NPS director cited noise pollution and safety as the main motive behind this move.
This can include all the areas that are controlled by the National Park Service which include;
· Monuments
· Hiking trails
· Biking trails
· Walking trails
· Seashores
· Historic sites
It's Not Entirely Illegal to Fly over National Parks!
However, there is the loophole in this legislation. Practically, flying over national parks is not entirely illegal. It is illegal to land or takes off in the premises owned by the national park service which is a very daunting task given that personal drones have the capability to do this correctly. National parks are very large in size (they over millions of acres). If you attempt to fly a drone over a national park, it will be impossible to do so without going against this legislation as most personal drones have a range of 5 miles.
In order to fly over national parks without landing and taking off within the park premises, you will need a very powerful and sophisticated drone. Most personal drones are simple and have a limited range of operation and battery time.
Flying Over Yellowstone National Park
The Yellowstone is one of the national parks in the USA, and it is, therefore, illegal to fly a drone over it without legal authorization. You should therefore not fly your drone over this area, or you are bound to face legal punishment in the form of fines and imprisonment. Flying in this territory (landing and taking off) is only permitted for licensed professionals such as fire safety officers, search and rescue officers, researchers, scientists, and park officers.
All the professionals that are allowed to fly drones in National parks should obtain a permit or license before the flight and also state all activities they intend to do. Fire safety officers and search and rescue officers have unlimited permission due to the situation their activities present.
Flying Your Drone over the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the best places to visit when you are in the Grand Canyon and what is even more appealing is having real-life photos and videos of your adventure using a drone. However, I am a bearer of bad news. The Federal Aviation Administration has banned the flying of drones over the Grand Canyon.
Just like flying a drone in a national park, flying a drone in the Grand Canyon is also illegal. I have talked about the law that put this restriction into place. Any recreational drone is prohibited from taking off or landing in the Grand Canyon. Flying over the Grand Canyon is illegal and can land you a jail term if you are caught flying without a permit.
When you are caught flying drones over restricted areas such as the Grand Canyon and the Yellowstone National Park, you will face the full wrath of the law. I am not making this up. This crime invites a jail sentence of six months and a further $5000 in fines. The fines depend on the crime committed, and it is not very pleasing to pay such a hefty sum for a crime you would have just avoided in the first place. Also, who would want to go to jail for a petty crime of flying a drone in restricted areas?
Selling Your Photos
You might be doing awesome work for your aerial photography and videography, and you want to sell them. Making a buck from selling photos and videos and photos taken by a drone is a nice idea, but you should first know that you should have a permit. All commercial drone activities require you to register your drone and obtain a license. Otherwise, you are liable for tax evasion if you make money from drone videos without registering your drone and getting a license.
If you think your photos are worth it and you would like to trade them for money online, there are several places you could go to. There are marketplaces where you can trade your merchandise.

Consequences of India's falling sex ratio
A recent report from the NITI Aayog said sex ratio at birth (SRB) nationwide had dropped from 906 in 2012-2014 to 900 in 2013-2015.
What is sex ratio at birth (SRB)?
- The SRB is the number of girls born for every 1,000 boys.
Highlights of the report:
- In all, 17 of 21 large Indian States saw a drop in the SRB, with Gujarat performing the worst, declining 53 points.
- Also, newer data from India's Sample Registration System show the SRB fell even further in 2014-2016, from 900 to 898.
Unique case for India:
- The number of girls born is naturally lower than the number of boys, and demographers speculate that this may be nature's way of offsetting the higher risk that men have of dying — male babies are biologically weaker than females, and men have historically seen higher mortality rates owing to risk-taking behaviour and participation in wars. This evens out the sex ratio of a population as it grows older. But India is a special case. Its SRB is far lower than 952 because of the preference for the male child.
This means we are killing girl children in the womb. As on today, around 63 million girls are estimated to be 'missing' in India because of such actions.
How did it come about?
- Till the 1970s, female infanticide was the preferred way of killing the girl child.
- But in the Seventies, sex selection technologies like amniocentesis came about, in which doctors can test the amniotic fluid around a developing foetus for genetic abnormalities. But people soon realised this method could be used to determine the child's sex and to abort it, if female. Other technologies, including the cheaper and less invasive ultrasound, followed, allowing more people to use them.
- A thriving market for sex selection sprung up with doctors openly advertising their services. In 1994, the government took notice and introduced the Prenatal Diagnostics Techniques Act which punishes healthcare professionals for telling expectant parents the sex of a child with imprisonment and hefty fines.
- In 2003, when technologies that allowed gender-selection even before conception became available, the act was amended to become the Prenatal Conception and Prenatal Determination Act (PC-PNDT).
- By any token, this Act has been a failure. In November 2016, a report from the Asian Centre for Human Rights noted that between 1994 and 2014, 2,266 cases of infanticide were registered in India, against 2,021 cases of abortion under the PC-PNDT, even though abortions outnumber infanticides today. In all, 17 out of 29 States had either not registered any case, or had zero convictions.
- The PHFI report in 2010 found major gaps in the training of personnel implementing PC-PNDT. Poor training meant that they were unable to prepare strong cases against violators to secure convictions.
Why does it matter?
- Low SRBs starting from the Seventies have led to large numbers of "surplus men" today in countries like India and China.There are concerns that skewed sex ratios lead to more violence against both men and women, as well as human-trafficking.
- In India, some villages in Haryana and Punjab have such poor sex ratios that men "import" brides from other States. This is often accompanied by the exploitation of these brides.
What next?
- India must implement the PC-PNDT more stringently, but must also dedicate more resources to fighting the preference for boys.
Finance Ministry to consolidate overseas operations of public sector banks
Public-sector banks (PSBs) have started rationalising the overseas operations by consolidating 35 operations and closing down non-viable branches as part of the clean and responsible banking initiative.
- The consolidation includes bank branches, remittance centres and representative offices. It will be without affecting international presence of PSBs in these countries.
- Moreover, 69 operations also have been identified for further examination.
- As per the banking sector agenda approved at the PSB Manthan in November last year, public sector banks (PSBs) have to examine all 216 overseas operations.
Need for rationalisation:
- The rationalisation of overseas operations of banks is significant as jewellery designer Nirav Modi allegedly cheated Punjab National Bank (PNB) of Rs 12,700 crore in connivance with PNB staff and officials of overseas branches of other state-owned banks.
- Moreover, it is part of government's commitment to 'clean and responsible banking and move towards cost efficiencies and synergies in overseas market.
Key facts:
- Presently, public sector banks have about 165 overseas branches, besides subsidiaries, joint ventures and representative offices.
- State Bank of India has the largest number of overseas branches (52) followed by Bank of Baroda (50) and Bank of India (29).
- The state-owned banks have largest number of branches in United Kingdom (32) followed by Hong Kong and UAE (13 each) and Singapore (12).
Environment, Ecology & Disaster Management
March 3: World Wildlife Day
The World Wildlife Day is observed every year on 3rd March to celebrate and raise awareness about the world's wild fauna and flora.
- The theme for this year is 'Big Cats: Predators under Threat'.
- The World Wildlife Day aims to create awareness and encourages people across the globe to protect endangered species.
About Big cats:
- Big cats are among most widely recognized and admired animals across the globe.
- Big cat species are found in Africa, Asia, and North, Central and South America, representing a virtually global distribution.
- These predators are facing many and varied threats, mostly caused by human activities. Overall, their populations are declining at disturbing rate due to loss of habitat and prey, conflicts with people, poaching and illegal trade.
- For example, tiger populations plummeted by 95% over the past 100 years and African lion populations dropped by 40% in just 20 years. But a range of measures are underway to arrest this decline.
- The theme aims to raise awareness about plight of big cats and galvanize support for many global and national actions that underway to save these iconic species.
- It also expands definition of big cats being used, which includes not only lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar (4 largest wild cats that can roar) but also cheetah, snow leopard, puma, clouded leopard, etc.
About the World Wildlife Day:
- The World Wildlife Day is celebrated to mark the signing of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) on this day in 1973.
- On 20 December 2013, at its 68th session, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed 3 March, the day of signature of the CITES, as UN World Wildlife Day to celebrate and raise awareness of the world's wild animals and plants.
- The UNGA resolution also designated the CITES Secretariat as the facilitator for the global observance of this special day for wildlife on the UN calendar.
About CITES:
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is international agreement to regulate worldwide commercial trade in wild animal and plant species.
- Its aim is to ensure that international trade does not threaten the survival of the species in the wild.
- It was drafted as a result of a resolution adopted in 1963 at a meeting of members of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It entered into force in July 1975.
- CITES is legally binding on state parties to the convention, which are obliged to adopt their own domestic legislation to implement its goals.
- It classifies plants and animals according to three categories, or appendices, based on how threatened. They are:
Appendix I species:
- It lists species that are in danger of extinction. It prohibits commercial trade of these plants and animals except in extraordinary situations for scientific or educational reasons.
Appendix II species:
- They are those that are not threatened with extinction but that might suffer a serious decline in number if trade is not restricted. Their trade is regulated by permit.
Appendix III species:
- They are protected in at least one country that is a CITES member states and that has petitioned others for help in controlling international trade in that species.
- In addition, CITES also restricts trade in items made from such plants and animals, such as food, clothing, medicine, and souvenirs.
Bilateral & International Relations
India and Vietnam enhance nuclear cooperation
India and Vietnam have signed an MoU on Cooperation between the Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership (GCNEP) and the Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute (VINATOM).
- Its purpose is to strengthen technical cooperation in field of atomic energy for peaceful purposes.
- India and Vietnam countries had signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement in 2016 and the MoU will enhance training and research collaboration possibilities.
About Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership (GCNEP):
- GCNEP is sixth Research & Development unit under Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). It is located near Bahadurgarh, Haryana.
- It helps in capacity building, in association with interested countries and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
- It is involved technology, human resource development, education & training and giving momentum to R&D in enlisted areas.
Objectives of GCNEP:
- Develop enhanced nuclear safeguards to effectively and efficiently monitor nuclear materials and facilities.
- Establish accreditation facilities for radiation monitoring.
- Train manpower in field of Nuclear Security and Radiological Safety.
- Promote development of advanced, more proliferation resistant nuclear power reactors.

- Vietnam is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, Thailand across the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest, and the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia across the South China Sea to the east and southeast.
Myanmar puts off border pact with India
Citing "domestic compulsions", Myanmar has indefinitely deferred signing an agreement with India to streamline the free movement of people within 16 km along the border.
Indo- Myanmar border:
- India's 1,643-km border with Myanmar touches four states: Arunachal Pradesh (520 km), Nagaland (215 km), Manipur (398 km) and Mizoram (510 km) and permit free movement regime (FMR) upto 16 km beyond border.
- In January 2018, Union Cabinet had approved agreement (Memorandum of Understanding) between India and Myanmar on land border crossing to enhance economic interaction between people of two countries.
- To give it shape, Central Government had asked four border states with Myanmar to distribute "border pass" to all the residents living within 16 km from the border.
- The agreement has been deferred twice in the past seven months.
Significance of agreement:
- The agreement will facilitate movement of people on basis of valid passports and visas which will enhance economic and social interaction between two countries.
- It will facilitate regulation and harmonization of already existing free movement rights for people ordinarily residing in border areas of both countries.
- It will also give boost to economy of North East and leverage geographical connections with Myanmar to boost trade and people to people ties.
- It will also safeguard traditional rights of largely tribal communities residing along border which are accustomed to free movement across land border.
Need for free movement across border:
- There are over 250 villages with over 300,000 people living within 10 km of the border who frequently cross the border through 150 small and large, formal and informal, border crossings.
- Also, both the countries intend to put a system in place after India raised the issue of movement of extremists and smugglers freely across the border.
What is the Border Pass Proposal?
- As per the proposal, there would have been no restrictions on the movement of people across the borders. The domiciles were to be allotted border passes and those going across for agriculture, work or to meet relatives should carry the pass at all times.
US delays decision on H-4 visas
The Trump administration has delayed its decision on termination of work authorisation of H-4 visa users, spouses of H-1B visa holders, till June as it needs time to review the economic impact of such a decision.
- The extension of decision-making process by four months comes as a temporary relief to the spouses of H-1B visas holders, a significantly large number of whom are Indian workers.
What's the issue?
- Since 2015, the spouses of H-1B visa holders waiting for green cards have been eligible to work in the U.S. on H-4 dependent visas, under a rule introduced by the previous Barack Obama administration.
- However, in January 2018, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) re-evaluated the rule and determined that significant revisions to the draft proposal were necessary.
What is an H-4 Visa?
- H-4 visa holders are immediate family members of H-1B visa holders. Most H-4 visa holders are spouses who want to join their partner in a new country.
- They enjoy many of the benefits of living in the United States, but some limitations exist. That's why an H-1B visa is better.
What are the rights of an H-4 Visa holder?
- They can live in the United States on a continuous basis. They can also travel to and from the country as needed.
- H-4 visa holders can either join their spouse immediately or choose to move to America at a later date.
- They also have the right to attend college in the United States and may even enjoy discounted tuition.
Who qualifies for an H-4 Visa?
- The only people who qualify are dependents. In the United States, those people are spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21.
How long does an H-4 Visa Last?
- No official termination date exists for an H-4 visa. Instead, the holder of the primary visa, the H-1B, will determine length of stay.
- When that visa expires, both the H-1B and H-4 holders are no longer eligible for American residency.
Science & Technology
Silver copper telluride (AgCuTe) – novel material to convert waste heat into electricity
Researchers have developed silver copper telluride (AgCuTe), a novel compound that exhibits poor thermal conductivity in the 25-425 degree C range but shows good electrical conductivity.
About AgCuTe:
- The new material made from silver, copper, and tellurium shows high levels of thermoelectric performance that the scientists are hoping could some day be harnessed to extract electricity from waste heat of chemical, thermal, or steel power plants.
- Due to the low thermal conductivity of AgCuTe, one end of the 8 mm-long rod that is contact with waste heat remains hot while the other end maintains cold temperature.
- The temperature difference is essential for the generation of electrical voltage. At the same time, the material exhibits good electrical conductivity like metal.
- The compound, silver copper telluride (AgCuTe), shows promise as a thermoelectric material for converting waste heat into electricity.
Potential applications:
- Potential applications of the thermoelectric technology are in automobile industry, chemical, thermal and steel power plants where large quantities of heat are wasted.

In the past 20 years of our friendship, I have put Bethany through the ringer a few times. I wonder how she is still friends with me after some of the events I've made her do alongside me. Here's some highlights.
It was circa age 10 or 11 when I decided to give Bethany a makeover. At that age, having never worn makeup, I was an expert. I owned a bottle of sparkly nail polish that I loved and wore constantly. I thought it would look great on Bethany's eyebrows. I painted her eyebrows with nail polish. They looked fantastic. And slick. And sparkly. Pink and purple and blue sparkles all up in her eyebrows, coating them like little sticky gemstones. I don't remember how long it took Bethany's mom to remove said nail polish from her eyebrows but needless to say, it was not easy nor painless, and I am not currently pursuing a professional cosmetology career.
I actually think the next event may have been that same day but I can't be sure. We were playing some sort of version of Truth or Dare and we were eating things in one of my kitchen cabinets. We were combining things like maple syrup and vanilla extract until I found a bottle of Tabasco sauce. I told Bethany to close her eyes and poured it into her mouth. Again, having never had Tabasco sauce, I was an expert on its flavor. It took many cups of water to take the fire out of her mouth.
Several years ago, Bethany was visiting me in New York. I was dating a boy that I worked with at the time, let's call him Server Boy. Server Boy and his room-mate, Needs a Girlfriend, had offered to take us out dancing. The evening was going extremely well except Needs a Girlfriend had taken a liking to Bethany and she had just entered into a relationship back in Boston. She also was just not interested. Needs a Girlfriend got a little miffed with me because he thought I invited him to go with us so he could get laid. I actually didn't invite him to go with us, Server Boy did and I never once promised Bethany to him in exchange for his company. It was merely good fortune he kept buying her drinks all night. Well, misfortune on his part, bonus on hers. We had ventured to several bars including one with incredibly cheap shots when we finally discovered the best dance spot I've ever been to and have never been since because I can not recall the location and name. Server Boy was dancing with Bethany and I was dancing with Needs A Girlfriend. He was grinding very closely to me and by very closely I mean I was feeling things that should not have been…at attention…at that time. He told me he thought I was hot and how hot Bethany was and how stupid Server Boy was for seeing Thighs* (This may seem cruel but the girl had fat thighs and was not a nice person in any sense so I'm allowed this one). I knew Thighs from where we all worked at the time. She was a known flirt but I would never have considered her competition. Plus, according to my current status, Server Boy and I were exclusive. I asked what that meant. Needs a Girlfriend told me Server Boy had been seeing Thighs for a few weeks and she had been spending the night at his place on nights he wasn't with me. Now, I know Needs a Girlfriend did this maliciously because he was not getting laid that night so why should I? Now here's the part where Bethany should hate me:
I confronted Server Boy at the club. He said we'd talk about it more back at his place. We went back to his place. I was drunk and got extremely upset and thought it best to talk in his room, leaving Bethany alone, on the couch, with Needs. I told her it would be a few minutes and then we'd go. Over an hour or so later, I emerged. Bethany had called my phone, texted, and knocked on the door, begging to leave. I had made her stay and wait for me. Needs had offered her the couch (which was beyond disgusting) to sleep on or in his bed…with him. She didn't speak to me until the next morning and rightfully so. I made her sit on the world's worst couch with the most desperate drunk boy in NYC with a Dungeons and Dragons game laid out on the coffee table and no source of distraction aside from my pleas and sobs from the room next door. Gold star for friendship goes to Bethany.
This story will get its own blog entry but until then, here's the part where Bethany again should hate me. We had gone to Six Flags for the day with some of my exboyfriend's friends. He was supposed to come with us but canceled (I found out because of his new girlfriend who he had been cheating on me with). At the time, we were broken up and I thought it was a great idea to spend the night at his house after the park so that we didn't have to drive back so late to Vermont. We had a great day at the park with the boys. We got back to Film Camp's house and all hell broke loose. The main incident was that Alia's car was broken into. I still am shocked how this happened because the house is in a neighborhood far from the main street and Alia's car was sitting right in front of the house and we were all in the garage about 80 feet from the car. Whoever it was stole all our food and Bethany's disposable camera, CDs, and her purse featuring her wallet and cell phone. My purse and Alia's purse remained untouched, out in the open in the front seats. Bethany was the only one actually affected by this robbery minus the fact our OCPs (oatmeal cream pies) went missing. I guess the fortunate part was that we were just out of high school so we didn't have tons of major credit cards and cash on us? Nope. Still unfortunate every way you look at it.
We used to catch salamanders in Bethany's backyard. I am almost 100% that this was my idea because one of the first times we did it, I made her climb down into a muddy ravine in new boots and khaki pants to catch them with me. I'm not sure how Bethany's mom still likes me.
Supervised by Bethany's babysitter, we discovered a mother cat and her kitten in the woods. They were both black and the kitten was fairly small, probably only a few weeks. Being the savor I am, I decided to save the kitten and take him home. My mother would not allow this so Bethany's babysitter adopted him and named him Simba. Somehow, although she was plotting it, the mother cat did not attack us and rip our faces off. It still breaks my heart to think of her following us most of the way home. I'm not sure what possessed me to take the kitten from his mother and not the mother as well. But Simba had claws and teeth and was not shy about using them. I basically could have given us all rabies, lice, mites, worms, who knows what else feral cats carried in the 90's. Again, AMAZING idea.
So there are some examples of why I should probably buy Bethany a diamond ring and a brand new luxury vehicle because somehow, she's remained my friend in spite of all the unfortunate pickles I seem to put us in. In other words, all the dumb shit I make her do with me.

I was eager to watch this movie due to the good reviews everywhere. KC and I went for a late night show.
The movie is strictly ok… the first half is the saving grace…. 2nd half is crap and climax is the worst. I felt extremely let down by the end (thankfully I get 1+1 ticket free with my standard chartered credit card in PVR).
The story is done to death before… Company, Sarkar, and that Ram Gopal Verma movie with Randeep Hooda… Ajay is a don with a heart. He falls in love with an actress Kangana (looking fab). Enter- Emraan Hashmi who wants to be rich by hook or crook. His love interest is Prachi (looking good). Predictably, Emraan betrays Ajay. There are a lot of loopholes… Randeep Hooda as the cop is excellent in 1st half.. in 2nd half there is not much for him to do.
Watch it once without expectations and you just might enjoy it.

An Iran-Italy joint play will be staged at the Decor Workshop of Rudaki Culture and Art Foundation in Tehran from January 1, 2017, and will run for over a month.
'The Violin of the Titanic', it is a production of the Italian theater company Cantieri Meticci directed by Pietro Floridia and the Iranian Mowj Theater Troupe directed by Arash Abbasi, Mehr News Agency reported.
"Floridia had recently organized a 10-day theater workshop in Tehran and the play is its outcome, which will be performed by actors from Iran and Afghanistan, as it deals with the issue of refugees and migration," Abbasi said.
As the Iranian theater director said, the play has been performed in several countries including Germany, France, Brazil and Italy, and the interesting point is that it is developed every time on the basis of the language and culture of the country where it is performed.
"Floridia directed the play but since he had to leave for Italy, his assistant Sanam Nadeeri will take charge during the performances," Abbasi added.
The show is a metaphor for the economic crisis and loss of social values in modern times. The name has been inspired by the story of the famous ocean liner 'Titanic', a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City.
'The Violin of the Titanic' is an interactive show bringing viewers aboard the same boat as the refugees, in order to let them experience the dynamics and questions generated by the struggle for survival by migrants all over the world.
Abbasi has also made another joint theater production with Italy. 'Fathers, Mothers and Kids', written and directed by him, has been staged in Tehran and some Italian cities.

Eight-and-a-half-feet of cargo hauling happiness! From kegs to kids, this cargo bike can haul it all, no sweat required. Equipped with a powerful and efficient Bosch motor and intentionally designed to be the smoothest steering front loader ever, the Electric Supermarche is destined to deliver. Specifically designed for active parents and small businesses alike, the Supermarche fits nearly every rider thanks to a low step-through frame with adjustable stem and seatpost. The extra-low front cargo rack, lightweight frame, and double-cable steering give you confidence and control, no matter what you're hauling home. Keeping with our cargo roots, we tacked on a rear rack over the 20-inch rear wheel for extras and one more passenger. We supercharged the Supermarché with a Bosch Performance Line 250W, 36V Powerpack 500, capable of speeds up to 20mph. This all adds up to a powerful cargo-hauling machine that steers like butter and turns heads everywhere. Features: - Sturdy, low step-over aluminum frame - Magura MT5 Next hydraulic disc brakes - Bosch Performance CX 250W, 36V Powerpack 500, Intuvia display - Schwalbe Big Apple tires - Rear rack with side loaders (16.5 x 7in) Includes: - Open Loader + Baseboard - Double kickstand - Bell, Fenders - 2-year limited warranty
Our Spicy Curry has been a favorite of cargo bike fans around the globe since 2015. That's the year we won the Eurobike Product Innovation Gold Award, and it's only gotten better since. Celebrating its five-year anniversary, we've given the Spicy Curry the makeover it deserves, enhancing the ride quality and safety features, as well as adding more power. What's new? The new Bosch Cargo Line Motor, designed specially for cargo bikes, provides support up to 20mph and enables load-controlled acceleration, even when starting off. The PowerPack 500 Battery offers increased capacity and range, while the Kiox Color Display records riding data and transmits it via Bluetooth to the Bosch eBike Connect app on a smartphone. We've also added front and rear thru axles to increase rigidity of the wheel-frame interface and allow more accurate wheel placement; added new Magura hydraulic 4-piston front and 2-piston rear disc brakes for incredible stopping power, and put the much-loved Spicy Curry geometry on top of new, wider tires from Schwalbe, for better handling and comfort. Features: - Sturdy, low step-over aluminum frame - Bosch Cargo Line Motor + PowerPack 500 - 10-Speed Shimano Deore RD-M600 derailleur - Magura MT32 hydraulic disc brakes 4 piston - Schwalbe Super Moto X Tires 26 x 2.4 front / 20 x 2.4 rear - Rear rack with side loaders (30 x 7in) Includes: - Double Kickstand - E-bike LED lights - Fenders + wheelskirts - Deflopilator - 2-year limited warranty

How to Change the Cabin Filter in a F-150by David Clair
Some models of the Ford F-150 are equipped with a cabin air filter that prevents dust and pollen from entering the cab of the truck. Ford recommends replacing the filter at least once per year or after every 10,000 miles. If the F-150 is often driven in dusty conditions, the filter should be inspected and replaced more frequently. A clean cabin air filter improves air flow in the air conditioning system.
Step 1
Open the glove compartment and remove its contents.
Step 2
Remove the two screws on the inside top of the glove compartment to unhook it from the dash.
Step 3
Pivot the glove box down toward the floor of the F-150 to expose the cabin filter housing.
Step 4
Press in on the clips on both sides of the cabin filter housing to unhook it. Pull the filter housing cover off.
Step 5
Pull the old filter straight out of the filter compartment to remove it.
Step 6
Slide the new filter into the filter compartment. Make sure the arrow printed on the filter is pointing toward the roof of the F-150.
Step 7
Replace the filter housing cover. Press on the sides of the cover until it snaps into place.
Lift the glove compartment up and reposition it to the original position. Replace the two screws that secure the glove compartment to the dash.
Items you will need

A safari is at the top of many a bucket list. And for good reason. It is an adventure; a true broadening of horizons; an education for the mind; and a rejuvenation of the soul.
Fully kitted out in brand new khakis, cameras and binoculars, wildlife and nature enthusiasts from around the world eagerly clamber up onto the rugged Landcruiser, barely able to contain their childlike excitement as they embark on a journey of discovery and amazement. For the next few hours or days, they will be captivated by nature's beauty, mesmerised by the most fascinating facts and regaled with stories they'll continue to tell their own friends and families for years to come.
While on safari, you get to do things you've only ever dreamed of. Like listening to the grunting gnus of the Great Migration as they traverse the mighty plains of East Africa. Or riding a horse in the African wilderness alongside curious zebra and giraffe. Perhaps you'll take to the sky in a hot air balloon and float peacefully over the world-famous Mara River or equally renowned Namib Desert. If you're lucky, you'll see the Big Five, perhaps catch a fleeting glimpse of one of the Elusive Eleven, or you might even witness a kill, like something straight out of a wildlife documentary.
Going on safari with an expert &Beyond guide is like stepping into a real-life encyclopaedia that is filled with the most fascinating and unexpected facts about the most curious of creatures, both big and small. You'll learn all sorts of wildlife trivia, like how the chameleon changes colour, what makes the flamingo pink, why the dung beetle spends its day rolling around in dung, and why lions have black tufts on the fur on their tails and the backs of their ears.
You'll watch in awe as the golden orb spider effortlessly spins its silky, golden web. If you're patient, you'll likely see one or two of the Little Five, the pint-sized namesakes of their more widely known Big Five counterparts. You might even learn some age-old bush survival skills, such as how to build a fire, or how to make a toothbrush out of a twig and toothpaste out of ash and water.
The more inquisitive and adventurous safari goers often end up doing things they never even thought imaginable, like sticking their fingers in (dry) elephant dung to determine the gentle giant's diet or taking part in a highly competitive and always entertaining dung-spitting competition. Yes, you read that correctly. Known as "bokdrol spoeg" in Afrikaans, this is the comical sport of spitting small, hard pellets of impala or giraffe dung. The farthest flung dung determines the overall dung-spitting champion. Don't knock it until you've tried it!
Perhaps one of the most popular "safari classroom" lessons is the amusing collective noun discussion. Did you know that each grouping or 'family' of animals, from the tawny tiger and the leaping lemur to the sleepy sloth and the hefty hippo, has its own, often rather charming, collective noun?
Here are 50 words to use on your next safari … or 'journey' … to the plains of Africa, the jungles of Asia or the wide-open vistas of South America. Don't forget to pack your sense of humour and a keenness for adventure, and join us for a dazzling journey (pun intended).
And if you're looking for some more animal inspiration, have a look at our Safari by Numbers blog. Think of it as Safari 101: a beginner's guide to understanding the local lingo and getting the most out of your luxury safari adventure. As they say in Swahili, "safari njema" or have a good trip!

What's YOUR Favorite?
So, I was going through old videos these past few days and putting them onto YouTube. I was astounded at how many I made when I was living in Colorado. It made me laugh to see some techniques that I used back then or my thoughts on things =). So....I ask you. For those of you that have been around for awhile, what post is a fav of yours that is no older than 2/17/09? For those of you that have just joined us recently, do some homework on older posts and let me know what you think. I was thinking of doing a series of revisiting some of the older looks and "updating" them. What do you think? What would you like to see? I just did the Fall Green and Harvest Brown tutorials this past weekend =). Fun times, fun times.

Armidale artist Kylie Mitchell designs compact, sustainable houses for the future
Armidale artist Kylie Mitchell has come up with an innovative housing design: factory-built, compact, sustainable artworks that you can live in, like her Art House One.
"It's super exciting being able to offer people something different," Kylie said, "because there's nothing quite like this in Australia."
Kylie – an award-winning builder designer / interior designer – and her partners at the Art House Factory are creating homes, studios, and granny flats, formed out of pods.
"We cover everyone from students at home right through to the elderly who want at-home care, but don't want to live under their children's feet," Kylie said.
A small pod can be a home for a single person: a granny flat in the backyard for extended families, student housing, or a duplex on a small block.
Or several can be assembled to house a family.
"We've got a home signed up already that's five pods together," Kylie said, "and it's for a family home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms."
Homeowners can also add an extension pod to their house to extend their living space – and sell it on when they don't need it any more. Ideal for empty-nesters to be.
Each pod will look different. People will be able to choose their colour palette from eight of Kylie's designs. As well as greens and purples, creams and beiges, they include a recycled palette, and one made from all no-maintenance materials (no painting required).
A pod may have a choice of three rooflines that sit on the same floorplan. On each roofline, the claddings will be applied differently.
"We're looking for people who are tired of the same old same old," Kylie said.
"They want to see something different. They want a bit of creative involvement; they want a bit of flexibility, but they don't have to make all the decisions."
The prototype will be launched in October, and on display at the Sustainable House Tour next month.
The pod homes are aimed at the mid to high-end housing market. Prices have yet to be determined, but a really high-end pod - such as a self-contained studio - may be $90 to $110,000.
Compact homes, Kylie believes, will combat urban sprawl, create stronger communities, and be ideal for Australia's growing and ageing population. She and her team have more than 60 years' experience in the construction industry.
"We're bringing all that to bear on offering a really good quality product from people who understand the industry," she said. "We want to give that to people, and make a real difference in communities and to families. We're out to make a difference."
