The least expensive of three options to encourage employees to opt out of the Muskego-Norway School District health insurance plan won approval from the School Board on Monday night.
The district will continue to pay employees 87.4 percent of the premium for single coverage if they take insurance from the employer of a working spouse. That will come to about $6,900 next year.
The cost is sizable, but it has been shown to save money for the district, said board member Brett Hyde.
The other two options the board considered were to keep the opt-out payment at the current $8,400 or to reduce it slightly to $8,200.
The reason next year's opt-out payment would be so much smaller than this year is because the tab for health insurance will go down. That is because the schools will move to a different insurance carrier and because of changes to the health plan itself.
So, 87.4 percent of the lower premiums comes to a much lower dollar figure.

Manufacturer: Revolution / Rev

Signature Series - John Barresi
Based on the original Rev 1.5 design, the John Barresi Signature Series is the ideal choice for any hard core precision or competition flier... After 16 years of competition and seven national quad line championships, John has utilized a number of modifications and features which make this a true high performance package.
The sail is paneled with two specific goals in mind...
1. The grey panels are replaced with screen for the vented model, keeping your vented and standard kites aesthetically similar.
2. As the standard sail stretches over time, the grey panels will actually begin to channel wind vertically, increasing precision.
To keep you competitive, the B-Series comes with two frames... One 2-wrap (SUL) and one 3-wrap (UL), giving you the versatility of being able to switch your frames based on the current wind, and you can also slide your SUL leading edge rods in parallel with the UL leading edge when the wind is up, effectively doubling your leading edge strength.
The B-Series handles are 13" long, and come with a pre-tied adjustment knot system which enables you to increase or decrease the reverse control.
Last but not least, the B-Series also comes with a weight kit. Two 2 gram lead weights fit neatly into the end of your spars, and are secured with a short tail. The weight system enhances the floating and tricking ability for the experienced flier. Yes, a flat axel is much more possible with the new John Barresi Signature Series.

Writer: Josh
Date:Saturday January 12 2013
Time: 12:00PM
With great thanks to Crawley season ticket holder Jim Goyder (@CTFC_Goyder), who kindly answered questions last week for our visit to Crawley, now answers a few questions on our signing of Hope Akpan. We ask Jim about Hope's general strengths and weaknesses as a player and his potential to play in the Premier League and you may be in for a surprise when you read the quotes!
1) Were you shocked that Hope made the move this window, or did you half expect it?
Cant say I was surprised in the slightest, we knew he only had 6 months left on his contract and quite honestly he was far too good for League 1. I expected a few bids for him, and also I hoped to sell him this window as Id rather see him leave for a fee rather than next to nothing.
2) What are his strengths?
He is tireless, and will put 110% in to every performance on the pitch. He knows how to make a challenge, and is a special player in the fact that he chooses at what temp a match will be played at. Hope can also provide a fantastic range of passes, and knows where the back of the net is.
3) What are his weaknesses?
Probably the fact he gives 110% every match, sometimes he tries too hard and you can see when the game is not going his way he gets extremely frustrated. Akpan is a great tackler but at the same time he can make some horrendous challenges, I wouldn't call them malicious, more mistimed or naive.
4) From what I have been reading, his disciplinary record isn't the best, does he have an attitude on and possibly off the pitch?
Don't read in to it any more! As I mentioned previously, yes he does make some poor challenges, but I think this is down to his age and the position he plays, lets call it inexperience. Hope is a player who plays with his heart on his sleeve, and he will commit to the cause, sometimes this boils over to a crunching challenge, Id rather that than a midfielder who is scared to put a foot in. He was sent off against Portsmouth this season, but quite honestly it was a shocking decision, I don't know many Crawley or Pompey fans who will say it was a red card.
Off the pitch I would say he is generally a model professional, I live local to most the Crawley players and have seen many on a night out, however, I have never seen Akpan. He did have one incident off the pitch, when he was charged and fined by The FA for a homophobic tweet. Hope did claim innocence, stating it was a younger family member who got on to his twitter account, we will never know.
5) Akpan is at the tender age of 21, do you think he has the potential to play in the Premier League now or probably in a few years time?
He is good enough for the Premier League now. Reading of course face a fight to stay in the Premier League and with signing Hope I think you have increased your chances in staying up. He will not be scared to go toe to toe with some of the world's best midfielders, and he certainly wont be scared to let them know he is there. I reckon between now and the end of the season Hope will pick up 3 yellows and one red, but he is also going to score 2 league goals.
In years to come, with the greatest of respect to Reading FC and the fans I think Hope will move on to an even bigger club, he started at Everton and I can see him returning and becoming a first team player. You have signed a truly special youngster, and just for the fact that you have signed him, I have adopted Reading FC as my Premier League club. COME ON YOU ROYALS!
Thanks to Jim (once again) for answering our questions and I hope some Royals fans take note of these comments, as a lot of fans have questioned why we signed Akpan. Also, it's good to see that Jim has taken a liking to us and I think everyone concerned with Reading FC would wish the Crawley the best of luck for the rest of the season. Last week's game was a great occasion for both teams and a good, 'proper' cup tie!

2012 Republicans Risk Repeating John Kerry's 2004 Mistakes
Tweet Share on Facebook December 29, 2011 Comment (13)Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich thinks former Gov. Mitt Romney is not a true conservative. Romney compared Gingrich to the character of Lucy Ricardo in her iconic performance as an assembly-line worker in a candy factory (great episode; bizarre comparison) and says Gingrich is guilty of his own flip-flops on healthcare. Rep. Ron Paul has come under attack for old newsletters that contain racist, anti-Semitic, and homophobic content. And all of the members of the GOP field decree President Obama is a hapless, barely-competent politician who knows nothing about the economy.
Why Ben Nelson Is Leaving the Senate
Tweet Share on Facebook December 28, 2011 Comment (2)To those who don't know Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, the explanation he has given for deciding to retire sounds like a bad cliché for vulnerable politicians. He wants, the affable lawmaker said, to spend more time with his family.
For Newt Gingrich, the Personal is Political
Tweet Share on Facebook December 27, 2011 Comment (12)So-called "character" issues in presidential campaigns often look like silly luxuries when there are serious issues to be tackled in public policy. Certainly now, when the country is struggling out of a brutal recession, recovering from the human and financial cost of the war in Iraq, and trying to extricate itself from Afghanistan, we have some serious matters that ought to take precedence over any candidate's personal life. The question for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is whether—as feminists were fond of saying in the 1970s—the personal is, in fact, political.
Tea Party Harms 2012 Prospect of a GOP Senate

ABC's Work It Is Not Only Bigoted, It's Inaccurate

The highly offensive basis for the sitcom, according to ABC, is two unemployed men who have "learned the hard way that the current recession is more of a 'man-cession' and their skills aren't in high demand."

Newt Gingrich's Dictatorial View of 'Activist Judges'
Tweet Share on Facebook December 19, 2011 Comment (19)In 2009, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich slammed President Obama for shaking the hand of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez at the Summit of the Americas. White House officials at the time noted that it was just a handshake at an international meeting of world leaders, and did not constitute any sanction of Chavez's rather disturbing behavior. But Gingrich said Obama was boosting the "enemies of America."

Tweet Share on Facebook December 14, 2011 Comment (10)Former Gov. Mitt Romney just can't seem to get a break. And most recently, it's not because of an endorsement he failed to get. It's because of one he just received, from failed Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, best known for her creepy TV ad reassuring voters that she is not a witch.

For any business, efficient customer service can go a long way to establishing brand presence. With its suite of customer service solutions and contact center software and services, Genesys has been enabling enterprises around the globe to connect to their customers, delivering personalized service to customers and improving the customer experience to build customer loyalty.
The company recently extended its focus on Brazil – a thriving market with strong demands for customer services.
Brazil has one of the world's largest middle class populations, accounting for a huge portion of telecommunications, paid television, insurance, financial services and luxury goods in the country. The upwardly mobile consumers increasingly demand quality customer service from the companies they work with.
Driven by this heightened consumer spending, Brazil offers strong market opportunities for a company like Genesys.
Genesys also believes these huge market opportunities could be strategic to its growth. Accordingly, the company reported a few important developments in its national growth strategy.
To more accurately meet growing demand for customer service solutions in Brazil, the company has launched Genesys Prime business – a Genesys arm that will operate out of Brazil. The formation of this new business entity builds on Genesys' recent acquisition of LM Sistemas, a pioneer and innovator of customer self-service solutions in the country.
Under the leadership of Alexandre Birchir, former LM Sistemas CEO, Genesys Prime will deliver a unique full-service offering for self-service. Dimitrius Oliviera, previously the general director at Nokia-Siemens Networks in Brazil, joined the company as the new Country Manager for Brazil.
Olivieria is expected to drive the overall Genesys business in Brazil, responsible for sales, marketing and operations activities.
Genesys Prime combines self-service best practices with innovative service delivery capabilities. Supporting the company's strategy to deliver service offerings that package best practices, it's a complete self-service solution delivered in a highly unique services model.
Genesys Prime will initially target customers in the Brazil market, with plans to take its unique offering to new markets worldwide over the long term.
Genesys has expanded its employee presence in Brazil as well – an area which tripled in 2012 alone. As part of its greater focus on increasing presence in Brazil, the company will be appointing more customer support staff to work more closely with local customers.
The company plans to utilize Brazil-based talent to fuel innovation inside the country – as well as to new markets worldwide.
"Our increased investments within Brazil demonstrate our drive and desire to aggressively capitalize on this tremendous opportunity. The new Genesys Prime business will open new doors within this strategic market as we help companies engage today's savvy Brazilian consumers," said president and CEO at Genesys, Paul Segre.
Related news reports Genesys and Telecom Deutschland GmbH, a provider of cloud-based contact center solutions, have revealed the expansion of their strategic relationship to deliver an integrated and more scalable cloud-based contact center solution for small to medium-sized enterprises (SME).

Accident versus Essence: Investigating the Relationship Among Information Systems Development and Requirements Capabilities and Perceptions of Enterprise Architecture
Date: August 2009
Creator: Salmans, Brian R.
Description: Information systems (IS) are indelibly linked to the global economy and are indispensable to society and organizations. Despite the decisive function of IS in organizations today, IS development problems continue to plague organizations. The failure to get the system requirements right is considered to be one of the primary, if not the most significant, reasons for this high IS failure rate. Getting requirements right is most notably identified with Frederick Brooks' contention that requirements are the essence of what IT professionals do, all the rest being accidents or risk management. However, enterprise architecture (EA) may also provide the discipline to bridge the gap between effective requirements, organizational objectives, and the actual IS implementations. The intent of this research is to examine the relationship between IS development capabilities and requirements analysis and design capabilities within the context of enterprise architecture. To accomplish this, a survey of IT professionals within the Society for Information Management (SIM) was conducted. Results indicate support for the hypothesized relationship between IS development and requirements capabilities. The hypothesized relationships with the organizational demographics were not supported nor was the hypothesized positive relationship between requirements capabilities and EA perceptions. However, the nature of the relationship of requirements and ...

"According to Their Wills and Pleasures": The Sexual Stereotyping of Mormon Men in American Film and Television
Date: May 2009
Creator: Sutton, Travis
Description: This thesis examines the representation of Mormon men in American film and television, with particular regard for sexual identity and the cultural association of Mormonism with sexuality. The history of Mormonism's unique marital practices and doctrinal approaches to gender and sexuality have developed three common stereotypes for Mormon male characters: the purposeful heterosexual, the monstrous polygamist, and the self-destructive homosexual. Depending upon the sexual stereotype in the narrative, the Mormon Church can function as a proponent for nineteenth-century views of sexuality, a symbol for society's repressed sexuality, or a metaphor for the oppressive effects of performing gender and sexuality according to ideological constraints. These ideas are presented in Mormon films such as Saturday's Warrior (1989) as well as mainstream films such as A Mormon Maid (1917) and Advise and Consent (1962).

An actor-partner interdependence model of attachment processes, conflict resolution, and psychological abuse on relationship quality in a community sample of heterosexual couples.
Date: May 2009
Creator: Bretz, Karen
Description: The purpose of this study is to determine whether adult attachment style, psychological abuse in the marriage, conflict resolution strategies, and gender are associated with relational quality in childless couples in the early years of their marriage. Data were collected from 92 married couples who were recruited from university campuses, churches, and community organizations through e-mails, flyers, newspaper advertisements and mailings. Conceptualizing the interdependence of dyadic data from the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), multilevel linear modeling (MLM) was used to analyze differences within and between couples. It was hypothesized that higher levels of attachment anxiety or avoidance, psychological abuse, and maladaptive conflict resolution strategies would be associated with lower relational quality. Results indicated that attachment avoidance had stronger associations with relational quality than did attachment anxiety, and that higher levels of attachment avoidance were associated with lower relational quality. Additionally, findings indicated a direct negative relationship between both actor and partner psychological abuse and the actor's relational quality. The discussion section addresses strengths and limitations of the present study as well as directions for future research.

The Aesthetics of Minimalist Music and a Schenkerian-Oriented Analysis of the First Movement "Opening" of Philip Glass' Glassworks
Date: May 2009
Creator: Wu, Chia-Ying
Description: Philip Glass' Glassworks (1981) is a six-movement composition for two flutes, two soprano saxophones/clarinets, two tenor saxophones/bass clarinets, two French horns, violas, cellos, and the DX7 electric piano. Glassworks consists of six movements titled "Opening," "Floe," "Island," "Rubric," "Facades," and "Closing." This thesis covers the first movement "Opening." Repetition in musical minimalism confronts traditional prescriptive codes of tonal music and post-tonal music. While challenging the traditional codes, repetition in musical minimalism established new codes for listening to minimal music. This thesis explores the implications of these ideas.

African-American parents' nutritional habits: Implications for the prevention of early childhood obesity.
Date: August 2009
Creator: Anderson, Andraya D.
Description: This research study addressed the nutritional beliefs and habits of African-American parents of children aged 3 to 6 years old. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods were employed. Quantitative data was collected via the Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire as well as a demographic questionnaire. Qualitative data was collected from oral interviews conducted by the researcher. Seventy-five parents or guardians participated in the study. Findings for the research questions revealed the participants' beliefs about nutrition directly correlated with food they provided for their children and most believed nutrition rather than genetics played a role in their child(ren)'s weight. Furthermore, parents from lower income families consumed more home cooked meals per week and those with higher incomes did not consume more fast food per week. Food intake restriction and control in feeding was similar among all participants, regardless of restriction and control in feeding was similar among all participants, regardless of education or income level. Suggestions for future research were included.

African Refugee Parents' Involvement in Their Children's Schools: Barriers and Recommendations for Improvement
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
Date: December 2009
Creator: Githembe, Purity Kanini
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine involvement of African refugee parents in the education of their elementary school children. The setting of the study was Northern and Southern Texas. African refugee parents and their children's teachers completed written surveys and also participated in interviews. In the study's mixed-method design, quantitative measures provided data about parent involvement at home, parent involvement at school, frequency of parent-teacher contact, quality of parent-teacher relationship, parent endorsement of children's schools, and barriers to parent involvement. Qualitative data from the open-ended questions provided data on barriers and strategies to improve involvement. Sixty-one African refugee parents responded to the survey and also participated in an in-depth face-to-face or telephone interview. Twenty teacher participants responded to an online survey. Quantitative data gathered from the parent and teacher surveys were analyzed using frequency distributions and analyses of variance. Qualitative data were analyzed by summarizing and sorting information into different categories using Weft QDA, an open-source qualitative analysis software. From these data, I identified barriers to African refugee parent involvement in their children's schools, as well as challenges that teachers face as they try to involve African refugee parents. Results of analyses of variance revealed statistically significant differences ...

Always Painting the Future: Utopian Desire and the Women's Movement in Selected Works by United States Female Writers at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
Date: August 2009
Creator: Balic, Iva
Description: This study explores six utopias by female authors written at the turn of the twentieth century: Mary Bradley Lane's Mizora (1881), Alice Ilgenfritz Jones and Ella Merchant's Unveiling Parallel (1893), Eloise O. Richberg's Reinstern (1900), Lena J. Fry's Other Worlds (1905), Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland (1915), and Martha Bensley Bruère's Mildred Carver, USA (1919). While the right to vote had become the central, most important point of the movement, women were concerned with many other issues affecting their lives. Positioned within the context of the late nineteenth century women's rights movement, this study examines these "sideline" concerns of the movement such as home and gender-determined spheres, motherhood, work, marriage, independence, and self-sufficiency and relates them to the transforming character of female identity at the time. The study focuses primarily on analyzing the expression of female historical desire through utopian genre and on explicating the contradictory nature of utopian production.

SRINAGAR: Being a hip hop artist in one of the most militarised and sensitive places on the planet is not easy, but MC Kash is determined to be heard from his home in the Himalayas.
The 23-year-old lives in Srinagar, the main city of Indian-administered Kashmir which has suffered 20 years of separatist insurgency and decades as a focus of fighting between India and Pakistan.
Like many local Muslims, he chafes under restrictions imposed by an estimated 700,000 Indian security forces, with heavy-handed policing, human rights abuses and disappearances feeding his resentment.
After his first song "I Protest" went viral in 2010, a year of huge and deadly demonstrations against Indian rule that saw 120 people shot dead, MC Kash saw the studio where he recorded it raided by police. He says he learned the lesson. "I have been shifting from this underground studio to that underground studio... After we finish recording we delete everything from the studio owner's computer. The studio owners know that if you record this guy the state's wrath will be upon you," he told AFP.
Performing isn't easy either. There are no public venues where performances can be independently staged and the ones owned by the government are tightly regulated by the authorities.
"No matter what, they could raid my studio, they could raid my house, as long as I'm doing right to my people and my country, as long as my conscience is satisfied, I'm glad and I'll keep doing it," Kash, whose real name is Roushan Illahi, told AFP.
His popularity has inspired others to join in, like Shayan Nabi, a 23-year-old student whose gentle and calm personality gives way to anger when he gets in front of a mic.
He grew up during the darkest days of the armed rebellion against Indian rule that began in 1989 but has petered out in recent years, with violence now at a two-decade low.
He says he was a bystander until 2010 when he witnessed hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris take to the streets in the anti-India protests of that summer, which saw security forces firing live ammunition at crowds.
"As news of youth dying came in everyday I started reading history and writing songs to protest against what had been happening to my people," Shayan said.
"If two people outside Kashmir get to know about my music, what's happening here, they can connect to this place, they can at least raise their voices like I do," says Shayan.
Many Kashmiri rappers revealed to AFP that plain-clothes police officers visited their homes on several occasions making "intimidating" enquiries about them and asking them to report to police stations.
Though modern-day rap has its roots in the United States, Kashmir has a long tradition of protest through poetry and music.
Before 1947 when the former princely state was divided between India and Pakistan as the two countries won freedom from Britain, Kashmiri Muslim artists used rhyming spoken word called Laddi Shah to ridicule their Hindu rulers. Inspector general of police, Abdul Gani Mir, denies that his officers are trying to muzzle dissent by keeping tabs on local rappers.
"A lot of things do happen in the society and it is our mandate to verify things. If policemen visited their homes and tried to verify, there's no harm in that and it doesn't amount to harassment," Mir told AFP.
Khurram Pervez, a prominent human rights defender, says young Kashmiris are trying to fill a "resistance space" after Indian forces succeeded in largely crushing the armed rebellion in recent years. That young people are channelling their frustration into music instead of violence is a positive development, but Pervez is critical of "repressive tactics" being used to silence artistic dissent. "The government is afraid of any such thing that brings people together here. Anything that binds people, whether it is music, art or writing," says Pervez. "The government is scared that they will get the international community to attend to the violations here."
Last month in Srinagar, music was back in the headlines for the wrong reasons after the German embassy in New Delhi organised a performance by the 70-member Bavarian Orchestra conducted by Indian-born maestro Zubin Mehta. The "peace concert," intended to showcase the picturesque Kashmir's tourism potential, was attended by about 2,000 invitees but became embroiled in controversy after local separatists accused Germany of endorsing Indian sovereignty in Kashmir.
It gave MC Kash a new subject and inspired his angry protest number "Orchestra of War (Beethoven Remix)". "you selling peace? you stupid? in a land that's still disputed your vision's all polluted if you can't see the persecuted.... you selling peace we ain't buying it this is Orchestra of War."

Vasquez brothers both win
August 27th, Fallon, NV — At the fifth annual "Fallon Fights: Rural Rumble '12" Oscar and Santos "Titos" Vasquez scored impressive wins. Presented by the City of Fallon, Nevada "The Oasis of Nevada", and Let's Get It On Promotions, "Fallon Fights" again delivered exciting boxing action on Saturday night.
Jr. flyweight Titos Vasquez scored his first professional win over a game Richard Hernandez. The 2012 Olympic alternate forced the action while Hernandez attempted to counter. All three judges scored the fight 40-36.
The elder Vasquez brother, Oscar, earned his third professional win against Edwin Reyes in a six-round. jr. flyweight bout. This was Oscar's first fight at 108 lbs, but losing the extra weight had no effect on his ability. Vasquez pressured the crafty Reyes early, and subsequently forced great action late in the fight. Scores were 60-54, and 59-55 twice.
The Vasquez brothers, both from Reno, look forward to returning to the ring soon.
Reno's own "King" Bubba Dupree scored a six-round, majority decision against Yuma, AZ's Jose "Puma" Gonzalez

Ian Turner is a zookeeper at Longleat Safari Park. He is also rather forgetful. After taking some pictures of his meerkats for a new zoo brochure, he left his Canon EOS in their enclosure. Apparently the alpha male, Monty, secretly harbors a gadget obsession, and jumped at the chance to snap a few shots of his family…
Sick of constantly being photographed, the monkeys in the London zoo have began snatching up patron's cellphones to make long-distance calls on your minutes. To stop the monkeys and their thieving ways the staff of the London zoo have began coating old cellphones with an unpleasant sticky substance that makes them…

Assemblage artist Lauretta Lowell also twists up the animal kingdom in her creepy-cool mixed-media canvas "A Bird Needs Glasses Like a Fish Needs Wings", featuring a frightening vulture-beaked, fish-headed woman with wings who clearly rebukes the "funny eyes" specs she's clutching, thus confounding the bird in a fishbowl at her side. And annoyed humans are in focus in "Kilroy", a poor propeller-headed sod given the body of a retro timer that ticks down minutes in ironic subheads that read, "Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow" and, "A can of worms won't open itself," among others.

Encephalartos tegulaneus (lpision)
This giant Kenyan cycad is a living fossil of the plant world – Encephalartos tegulaneus is a member of an ancient group and impressive, but also rare and only found on remote hills.
Species information
- Scientific name: Encephalartos tegulaneus Melville
- Common name(s): lpision (Samburu language)
- Conservation status: Least Concern (LC) according to IUCN Red List criteria (however Encephalartos tegulaneus subspecies powysii is assessed as Critically Endangered). Listed on CITES Appendix I.
- Habitat: Very rocky sites in dry forest or thicket.
- Key uses: Ornamental.
- Known hazards: Many members of the Zamiaceae are poisonous, producing toxic glycosides known as cycasins.
- Class: Equisetopsida
- Subclass: Cycadidae
- Order: Cycadales
- Family: Zamiaceae
- Genus: Encephalartos
About this species
This rare tree is found in only a few locations in the more remote parts of Kenya. It belongs to a group of cycads known only from Africa, and though they may look a bit like palms, these species are members of a much more ancient group. Cycads date back to before the time of the dinosaurs! Encephalartos tegulaneus was first collected by Joy Adamson, author of the bestseller Born Free – the woman who loved Elsa the lion. She spotted a specimen on 7 May 1954, and took photographs and painted a watercolour as well as making the original collection. Three years later the tree was described as a new species – and 42 years after that, Beatrice Miringu and Kew botanist Henk Beentje described a second subspecies (E. tegulaneus subsp. powysii).
Geography & Distribution
Encephalartos tegulaneus is restricted to a small area of central and northern Kenya, where it has been found at 1,600–2,100 m above sea level.
Part of a cone, weighing several kilos! (Image: Henk Beentje)
A tree up to 10 m tall, with a usually unbranched trunk up to 1 m across. The trunk is covered in leaf scars and grows erect, or sometimes curves down and up again. There are many leaves per trunk and each leaf is 1–2 m long and pinnate (divided into leaflets), with many stiff, leathery leaflets of 16–31 × 2–3 cm, bearing spiny teeth on the margins near the leaflet base. Encephalartos tegulaneus is dioecious (has separate male and female plants). The male trees bear subcylindrical cones of 40–52 × 9–13 cm on a stalk up to 20 cm long. The female trees bear cones up to 40–68 × 16–22 cm. The ellipsoid, orange seeds are 3–4 × 2–3 cm. Reproduction is probably very slow, with many of the seeds eaten by baboons or wild pigs.
There are two subspecies. The typical one from north-central Kenya (Encephalartos tegulaneus subsp. tegulaneus) occurs in the Mathews and Ndoto Hills, and a more southern one is known from only a single hill near Mt Kenya (E. tegulaneus subsp. powysii).
Threats & Conservation
Encephalartos tegulaneus has been assessed as Least Concern according to IUCN Red List criteria, yet is listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), meaning that commercial international trade in this species is prohibited. To understand its conservation status better, it is important to look at each of the two subspecies. E. tegulaneus subsp. powysii is assessed as Critically Endangered. It has a very limited distribution (being known from only a single hill) and is in decline owing to its collection from the wild for ornamental purposes. E. tegulaneus subsp. tegulaneus is not endangered. Although it is restricted to two mountain ranges, it can be abundant where it occurs and while there has been some loss of forest in this region, many examples of this subspecies grow in protected areas.
Encephalartos tegulaneus needs a moist, well-drained, frost-free position, in full sun or shade. Although slow-growing as a seedling, this plant grows more rapidly once it is about five years old.
This species at Kew
Dried and alcohol-preserved specimens of Encephalartos tegulaneus are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers from around the world by appointment. The details of some of these, including some images, can be seen on-line in the Herbarium Catalogue. Kew also holds the original photographs taken by Joy Adamson in Kenya in 1954, and the original watercolour that she painted.

Eastern Cape giant cycad
Encephalartos altensteinii in the Palm House at Kew
Another species from this genus is cultivated at Kew – the Eastern Cape giant cycad (Encephalartos altensteinii) can be seen growing in the Palm House. This plant was collected by Francis Masson in the early 1770s – so this is one of the oldest pot plants in the world!
