He threw a t-shirt over his boxers and opened the door a crack. Brenda pushed the door inward and almost fell as it swung open. Greg grabbed her arm and pulled her upright. "Are you okay?"
Her eyes wild, she shook her head. "You've got to come down. I've called 911 but you have to come down, now."
Fear creeped over the back of my neck. I'd never seen Brenda this upset. Had it been vandals? Or something worse?
"What happened, Brenda?" Greg had on his police voice now. Calm, but demanding. "Take a breath, and tell me."
She sank onto the edge of the bed. "In the pool. There's a body in the pool."
After a few months of living with her boyfriend Greg, Jill is still getting used to sharing such close quarters, but she's got no hesitation about joining him for a weekend at South Cove's most luxurious resort. While Greg and his college pals celebrate their buddy's upcoming wedding, Jill intends to pamper herself in style. But when the groom is found floating facedown in the pool, Jill must find the killer fast, or she might not have a boyfriend to come home to any more . . .

Made You Look: During The Rise Of Hip Hop's Most Extravagant Era, A New Star Was Born — The Video Vixen | VIXEN.
Every music video needs a leading lady, and these stars didn't come cheap.
After being robbed at gunpoint in Paris just days ago, Kim Kardashian is back in the States, but is reportedly still experiencing side-effects of her traumatic encounter.
According to the Entertainment Tonight, the reality star has been having flashbacks of that particular night and has been desperately trying to keep it together for the sake of her young children.
"They don't know what is going on, thankfully," a source told ET. "She tries not to cry in front of North, but it's been tough."
Though she's now back home, she constantly thinks about the traumatic night.
"She still gets emotional thinking about the incident," the source added. "I don't think the flashbacks will go away anytime soon though. It's going to take a while for those to stop, as with any traumatic experience like that."
In more details in the robbery, the concierge who led the robbers to Kim's luxury apartment has penned an open letter addressed to Kim, detailing what he went through before they made it to her.
"Dear Kim: When you feel the cold steel of a gun at your neck, it is the moment when remaining calm can mean the difference of life or death, both our lives," the hotel employee, 40, wrote, according to TMZ. "I hope you are feeling better."
Get the rundown on a hater trying to burn down Kim's boutique, DASH, with BET Breaks above.

Lemon curd faces wrath of Brussels (Daily Mail, 30 October 2002, page 39)
The names of traditional foods such as lemon curd and mincemeat could soon be banned by the EU. Brussels is worried that consumers on the Continent may think that the labels refer to dairy or red meat products.
The names 'mince pie' or 'lemon curd' are not being banned by the EU, although legislation tightening up food labelling for the benefit of manufacturers, retailers, and consumers alike is in force. The relevant directive, however, only applies to a very strictly defined set of foodstuffs (of which lemon curd is not one), and explicitly states that it is not applicable to 'fine bakery wares, pastries or biscuits' e.g. mince pies.

The Vassar College Exploring Transfer Program
For thirty-two years, the Exploring Transfer (ET) program at Vassar College has successfully introduced community college students to the possibilities of transfer to a wide range of four-year colleges and universities. ET students, all of whom are drawn from populations underrepresented in higher education and all of whom are first generation to college, have gone on to complete bachelor's degrees at most of the units of the State University of New York and the City University of New York; ET students have also transferred and flourished at private, selective universities such as Yale and Columbia and colleges such as Smith, Middlebury and, of course, Vassar.
Exploring Transfer is designed to provide an introduction to the intensive study of the liberal arts to community college students who are pursuing associate degrees or certificates in vocational, liberal arts and science programs.
Each summer Exploring Transfer offers three specially designed courses, each taught by a Vassar and a community college professor. Each of these courses are interdisciplinary in focus and carry one unit of Vassar credit and match the expectations for 100-level courses during the regular year. The courses are described on Vassar's web page: http://eter.vassar.edu/
Each student receives a scholarship that completely covers tuition, room, board, books, and all other supplies. The Program is staffed by six faculty, three peer counselors, and one administrator. Students live in one of the residence halls where they are encouraged by program counselors to form a learning cohort to promote intellectual sharing and to provide mutual academic and personal support.
Application Instructions:
1. There will be an informational meeting on the ET Program; date and location to come.
2. Complete the online application available at http://eter.vassar.edu/. You are responsible for providing a transcript and ensuring that faculty return recommendations on time.

Statistics show the majority of people today look on the Web for what they want to buy. And the numbers are rapidly growing. This is obviously the right place to place a good chunk of your marketing budget.
With mobile devices in every pocket and smart phones all connected to the Web, everyone now carries their phone books with them. And they check the headlines and grab coupons online, bypassing most traditional media you used to be able to rely on. Regardless of the economy, this has changed the entire landscape of marketing, as we know it. It's broadened and matured; shifting from a simple easy-to-grasp small selection of proven media into a vast sea of options loaded with opportunity and traps everywhere you look.
This is why the right marketing — the only marketing that matters – must include a strong presence on the Web.
This concept is already pretty widely accepted. You've probably had a Web site online for your business up for a while now. It's a good move. Necessary today. Sadly, most of the sites we see are sorely lacking in the essentials to attracting growing throngs of customers and prospective customers. They serve the basic purpose but go no further.
While getting a site online is a must, you can't get away with simply putting up a Website that looks great. An-overly gorgeous advertising agency-designed online billboard is still just that – a billboard. Thinking all you need is a Website and a few listings on advertising and directory sites is a major Internet trap a lot of us have fallen into at one time or another.
The truth is, that's only a start. For serious results, you also need to rank well in the search engines, on search terms people actually type in to find what you're selling.

How Do Car Seats Fit in a 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?
If crossing a convertible with an SUV sounds like it'd be awkward, it is. The new-for-2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross wears the name of the automaker's now-defunct convertible paired with "cross," as in "crossover," but the vehicle doesn't offer much by way of sport, style or utility. Mitsubishi calls the Eclipse Cross a compact SUV, but the brand already has one of those in the two-row Outlander Sport. The new model slots between the Outlander Sport and three-row Outlander in Mitsubishi's lineup, and when it comes to car seats, this fiver-seater was just OK.
How many car seats fit in the second row? Two

- None
- Latch, grade B: The two sets of anchors are exposed and easy to use. There's three top tether anchors midway down the seatback, but they're not very easy to use because they're in narrow slits in the upholstery.
- Infant, grade B: This seat was easy to install, but we had to move the front seat up a bit. Taller passengers will need more space.
- Rear-facing convertible, grade B: Again, this seat was easy to install and we had to keep the passenger seat in its moved-up position. Taller passengers will need more space.
- Forward-facing convertible, grade B: After removing the large head restraint, this seat fit well, but we struggled to connect to the top tether anchor.
- Booster, grade B: After removing the head restraint, the seat fit well. The buckles are on short stalks and sit flush with the seat cushion, however, which could make them tricky for kids to use.
Skip It
- None
Grading Scale
Solid indicates an A grade for optimum ease of use and fit. So-So indicates B or C grades for one to two ease-of-use or fit issues. Skip It indicates D or F grades.
A: Plenty of room for the car seat and the child; doesn't impact driver or front-passenger legroom. Easy to find and connect to Latch and tether anchors. No fit issues involving head restraint or seat contouring. Easy access to the third row.
B: One room, fit or connection issue. Some problems accessing third row when available.
C: Marginal room plus one fit or connection issue. Difficult to access third row when available.
D: Insufficient room, plus multiple fit or connection issues.
F: Does not fit or is unsafe.
About Cars.com's Car Seat Checks
Editors Jennifer Geiger, Jennifer Newman and Matt Schmitz are certified child safety seat installation technicians.
For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 30 infant-safety seat, a Britax Marathon convertible seat and Graco TurboBooster seat. The front seats are adjusted for a 6-foot driver and a shorter passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver's seat, and the infant and convertible seats are installed behind the front passenger seat.
We also install the forward-facing convertible in the second row's middle seat with the booster and infant seat in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit; a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. If there's a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible. Learn more about how we conduct our Car Seat Checks.
Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat, and that Latch anchors have a weight limit of 65 pounds, including the weight of the child and the weight of the seat itself.

One of the aspects of the Godzilla Comic-Con 'test teaser' that resonated with the Hall H audience was just how serious and authentic the imagery glimpsed in those one-two minutes felt. That's assuming you are willing to suspend belief and accept the premise of a lightning-breathing gargantuan reptile that fights other enormous beasts on Earth.
The sense of realism, in this case, evidences how director Gareth Edwards seems to be approaching the B-movie concept, bringing it down to Earth with relatable imagery that one associates with a real cataclysmic event. Edwards used an identical tactic in his indie project Monsters, similar to what Jonathan Liebesman did with the more-mainstream Battle Los Angeles.
Edwards clarified his approach to Godzilla during an interview with Total Film (via Coventry Telegraph), saying:
"I've always been interested in Godzilla and the ideas around him. I really wanted to see another Godzilla film and jumped at the opportunity. My main idea was to imagine 'If this really happened, what would it be like?' I want to take a grounded, realistic approach to a Godzilla film."
When Edwards took the stage at Comic-Con (as this writer can testify), there was a sincerness to his manner that managed to win people in the auditorium over - resulting in him leaving the room to as much thunderous applause as the Godzilla footage incited. The filmmaker continues to maintain that air of humility in these recent interviews, as illustrated by his additional comments:
"I've never worked this hard, this long and been this emotionally involved in something that's lasted only a few seconds since the time I lost my virginity! But the reaction has been amazing and I can't wait for the fans to see our final product."
The Godzilla script has passed through the hands of several writers, beginning with David Callahan (The Expendables) going on through to David S. Goyer (the Blade and Dark Knight trilogies), Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son), and, most recently, Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3). Some two years ago, producer Brian Rogers offered the following insight on the project:
"In all the conversations we had with Legendary [Pictures], they made it clear that they want to pay homage to the traditional Godzilla character... They wanted to go back to the history of the project, but again because it's a reboot, bring it into the 21st century… Similar to what Legendary did with 'Batman.'"
While that idea gels with what Edwards is saying, the fact that he's a first-timer when it comes to big-budget fare leaves room for concern - as far as how his lack of experience could give rise to creative control conflicts on Godzilla (see the post-production tension on 47 Ronin, for a recent example). However, the filmmaker has taken pre-emptive steps to dismiss such worries:
"Everyone warns you about working for Hollywood and how you can get treated in a certain way but my experience has been the polar opposite. Thomas Tull (founder of Legendary) has been very supportive."
Look for Godzilla to storm theaters in 3D on May 16th, 2014.

My first dish was a simple salad of baby lettuce mix topped with sliced nectarines, pecans, and white balsamic vinaigrette. Then I decided to try my hand at a chilled soup; into the blender went slices of nectarine, enough apple juice to give it the right consistency, and a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. After pureeing it, I topped it with a drizzle of french vanilla yogurt. The white swirls looked beautiful on the orange soup. Not only is this insanely easy to make, it's really refreshing for a hot summer day.
My next experiment was figuring out a nectarine salsa. Here's what I came up with:
2 nectarines, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp jalapeño, finely diced
2 tbs lime juice
1 tbs honey
1/4 tsp red chili powder
1/8 tsp salt
Mix and refrigerate! If you wanted more heat, up the quantity of jalapeño. I ate it on top of chicken that I rubbed with cumin and chili powder before sautéing, but I think it would also be good with tortilla chips.
What's up next for the rest of my nectarines? Good question. Dessert? More salads? Smoothies? Perhaps a fruit panini or bruschetta or quesadilla? I might even test out this Vegetarian Times recipe that caught my eye: Nectarine and Basil Summer Rolls with Almond Sauce.

Tu B'Shevat [this year on Wednesday, Jan. 31] is a wonderful, fun holiday that celebrates the birthday of the trees. It's always meant that spring would be coming soon and that I could plant a tree to celebrate the birthday of one of my favorite plants.
When I was a kid, we had two huge weeping willow trees on the side lot of my house. Those trees seemed hundreds of feet high and many feet wide. The vine-like branches hung to the ground at least 5 feet from the huge trunk. The donut-shaped space under the leaves was my favorite place to play. I didn't even mind the Japanese Beetles that occasionally made their home with me and I explored their green black bodies as I watched them eat the long, slender leaves.
One year, my father announced that the trees were sick and that, to avoid them crushing our house, they had to be removed. I cried. I was 9 and wanted my trees to continue to provide my place to read, write my stories and write and imagine. I needed the lullaby of the branches' gentle rustle to help me fall asleep on summer nights. Sadly, the trees came down and the man who did the deed showed me the rotted insides and told my father we were lucky that they didn't destroy our house.
That winter, as Tu B'Sh'vat arrived, I came home from Hebrew School and announced that we had to plant new trees. I decided we would plant apple trees as a birthday gift to my beloved willows. Despite the fact that our house was right on a busy thoroughfare, my dad planted three apple trees where the two willows had stood before. Five years later, we gathered enough apples to make two pies. I was ecstatic. Though these were not my beloved willows, they were beautiful, healthy trees. Each year, we marked their birthdays on Tu B'Shevat.
Tu B'Shevat is a holiday to celebrate the bounty of the earth and the trees that give us so much, including the very air we breathe. We owe them — and our precious earth —our care and respect.
There is a lovely seder that is performed for Tu B'Sh'vat. During the seder, four different kinds of juices and, traditionally, 15 different kinds of fruit are eaten. It is fun to work with your children to find the different kinds and colors of fruit juices and fruits for this ritual. Let them add their own touches to the holiday by making simple fruit and dried fruit treats. Some easy recipes for children to make are baked apples stuffed with dried fruits and nuts, and dried apricots stuffed with almonds and dipped in chocolate. Enjoy the holiday … and remember to plant a tree!.
Breakfast with Almost all the Species (Pareve or Dairy)
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup puffed barley cereal
2 cups what flakes or small shredded wheat
1 cup oat flakes, or rolled oats
1 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup shredded or flaked coconut
3 Tbsp. pomegranate molasses
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup, dark amber
2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt or non-dairy almond milk yogurt
Place the first 10 ingredients in a bowl and toss to mix. Place the pomegranate molasses and the maple syrup in a small bowl and whisk to blend. Spoon some yogurt onto a glass mug or bowl and top with some of the fruit/cereal and nut mixture. Drizzle with the pomegranate sauce. Repeat for a second layer. Makes about 4 "sundaes" with the cereal mixture left over for another treat.
Mushroom Onion Barley Kugel (Pareve or Meat)
Freezes well and is really delicious
1 cup pearl barley
2 cups water
12 to 14 ounces mushrooms, sliced button, or mixed
2 large onions, diced
1 leek, abut 4-5 inches, white part only, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 to 3 Tbsp. canola oil
2 cups vegetable broth or Pareve chicken broth or chicken broth or stock
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
Place the water and barley in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 60- 75 minutes, adding more water of needed, until the barley is chewy, but not hard. Drain, cover, and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet and add the oil. Add the onions and leek and sauté until deep golden, about 5-9 minutes or so. Add the celery and carrot and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms give off their juices. Stir constantly for about 4 to 5 minutes until most of the liquid is reabsorbed. Add half the stock to the pan and mix to blend. Reduce heat to low.
Pour the remaining half of the broth into a small bowl and add the flour. Whisk until well blended and lump-free and pour over the vegetables. Increase heat to medium, stir well and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly to thicken slightly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat.
Add the cooked barley to the mixture and mix well. Grease a 9X13 glass or ceramic baking dish, and pour the barley mixture into the dish. Spread evenly and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 to 45 minutes, until golden. Serves 8 to 12.
Simple Pomegranate Dressing (Pareve)
3 Tbsp. Pomegranate Molasses
3 Tbsp. pure pomegranate juice
2-3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar, sherry vinegar or white balsamic vinegar
1-2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, to taste
1-2 Tbsp. honey, to taste
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil or Canola oil or a mixture
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients, except the oil in a container with a tight fitting jar. Add the oil and shake vigorously to emulsify. Makes about 1 cup.
Date-Apricot-Fig Loaf (Dairy)
1 (1 lb.) package pitted dates, chopped
1 cup (firmly packed) dried apricots, chopped
1/3 cup chopped figs (optional)
2 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2-1/2 cups flour, sifted
1-3/4 cups boiling water
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Generously grease two loaf pans. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Chop the dates and apricots and figs, if using. Measure the apricots and place all in a large bowl. Add the baking soda, sugar and butter to the bowl. Add the boiling water and vanilla. Mix well until the butter is completely melted. Set aside to cool. Add the eggs, mix well and add the flour. Mix by hand until moistened. Batter will be lumpy.
Pour batter into 2 standard loaf pans that have been greased. Bake at 350 degrees 1 to 1-1/2 hours, until a tester comes out moist, but clean. Let cool before cutting.

China's foreign ministry has said Beijing is open to negotiating with Washington amid a spiralling tariff dispute.
This follows a report the two sides are negotiating, with American officials submitting a list of market-opening requests to China.
A foreign ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, did not confirm the report by The Wall Street Journal, but said at a regular briefing: "Our door for dialogue and discussion is always open."
The Journal said the negotiations were led by US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and China's economic czar, vice premier Liu He. It said American market-opening requests covered the car, finance and semiconductor industries.
US president Donald Trump has approved higher tariffs on steel and aluminium imports and a possible increase on 60 billion dollars (£42 billion) of Chinese goods in a dispute over technology policy.
China has said it might retaliate.

I love hearing about people's New Years resolutions. Some of them are so far fetched you know they won't make it through the first week. Some of them are pretty typical, you know the ones, eat right, drink less, workout more. That's the one that perks my ears when I hear employees talking about it. Workout more.
Now I think it's amazing to want to take charge of your life and your health. I also know that about this time of year, we get in fresh new shipments of athletic attire and inevitably we have at least one employee stealing their way into their New Year's Resolution.
It's because of this trend that I emphatically start putting security tags on clothes starting with the athletic wear. I know that clothing security tags is strong visual message not to steal that particular item. I like that the clothing security tags do most of the work for us. The majority of the employees stay honest because they don't want to contend with beating a clothing alarm.
Clothing security doesn't just stop there for us. We also talk about the high shrink departments every chance we get. Just as shoplifters avoid being noticed, employees are less likely to steal if they know the area is under constant surveillance.
After the initial resolution has either wilted or become a habit, I can put to rest my worries of protecting our athletic wear. I know its now time to move on to protecting the next target.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase a clothing alarm or clothing security tags.

TECH SUPPLIER Sep 2018 - Market Forecast - Doc # US43249518
Worldwide Managed Cloud Services Forecast, 2018–2022: An Extraction View of Technology Outsourcing Services Markets
By: Jason BremnerResearch Vice President, Industry and Business Solutions, Francesca CiarlettaResearch Analyst, European Services, Douglas HaywardResearch Director, Worldwide Digital Strategy and Agency Services, Cathy HuangAssociate Research Director, Services and Security, IDC Asia/Pacific, Vladimir KroaAssociate Vice President, IT Services , CEMA, Peter MarstonResearch Director, Application Development, Testing, and Management Services, Satoshi MatsumotoResearch Director, IT Services, IDC Japan, Courtney MunroeGroup Vice President of Worldwide Telecommunications Research, Daniel PovisSenior Analyst, IT Services, South Cone, Waldemar SchusterProgram Manager, IT Services, Latin America, David TapperProgram Vice President, Outsourcing and Managed Cloud Services, Jonathan TullettResearch Manager, Takuya UemuraGroup Manager, IT Services, IDC Japan, Seiichiro YoshiiSenior Market Analyst, IT Services, IDC Japan, Petr Zajonc
This IDC study provides IDC's forecast and spending for the worldwide managed cloud services (MCS) market across eight major regions for the 2018–2022 forecast period. IDC views managed cloud services as an extraction view of IDC's technology outsourcing services markets involving application management (AM), hosted application management (HAM), hosting infrastructure services (HIS), IT outsourcing (ITO), and network and endpoint outsourcing services (NEOS). This is the first forecast for this market (for more details, see the Market Definition section as well as IDC's Worldwide Managed Cloud Services Taxonomy, 2017, IDC #US43147017, October 2017).
This study also includes advice to providers of IT services, an analysis of key market and industry trends by key managed cloud services markets and regions, key market drivers and inhibitors, and significant market developments.
"While the managed cloud services market continues to drive new opportunities, managed SPs are under pressure not only to expand their portfolio of capabilities, which increasingly mimic those of public cloud providers, but also meet buyer need for managed SPs to own and manage their own digital platforms to be successful," says David Tapper, VP, Outsourcing and Managed Cloud Services at IDC. "Building a successful managed cloud services business will require that providers offer full array of digital capabilities and innovation accelerators, center value proposition on business value, create a seamlessly integrated organization, build an 'intelligent' management platform, integrate a cloud management platform (CMP), invest in public cloud infrastructure for the long term, and build partnerships with software vendors for platform IP."

Alfresco, my employer, is based in London, so I go over once per quarter for management meetings. Because I'm there so often, I took the time to get an Oyster card, which manages payments while riding on London's public transport. Little did I know that Linux enables my transfers from Paddington to Arsenal Tube Station....
As ZDNet reports, Transport for London opted for Linux to remove its fetters to proprietary systems that had been crimping its ability to innovate:
The Oyster contactless card system...[previously] suffered from lock-in to proprietary systems, which hindered developments to the online payment systems...."The hosting was on a proprietary system, centred on one application....It demanded certain hardware, and was locked into one design of infrastructure."
With open-source Linux, however, the system is open for London to take the system in any direction required, without concern for some proprietary vendor holding its system for ransom. Why would any public agency lock itself into a proprietary vendor? For that matter, why would anyone?

If you have decided to prepare a good research proposal on education, you will have to write a logical research proposal at first. Research proposal on education is a real challenge for every student, because it is not easy to write a brief plan of the whole investigation and include every essential question and point into it in such a way that it remains informative, logical and valuable. No wonder that students often take advantage of the samples of research proposals on education trying to be on the safe side.
Education has always been one of the most important questions and topics of discussion. People all over the world argue about the ideal methods and ways of education, about its purpose and its key points. It is obvious that education is the second important thing after food for every person who wants to achieve something in life.
There have been a lot of discussions connected with the purpose of education which is mostly based on the preparation of a person to some profession or occupation. Years ago the chief aim of education was the improvement of people's general knowledge about themselves and of the surrounding world.
People used to learn about the existence in general but now the situation is different. Schools, colleges, universities prepare workers and specialists for different spheres of human life; that means they are aware of their key disciplines required by the profession, but their general background knowledge is limited.
As you see the topic on education is quite vast and it is difficult to include everything into the proposal. Writing a research proposal on education remember to present the history of education, its aims during the long run of time and the best ways to educate people. As you write a proposal, you should convince the professor that the topic is really urgent, important and worth investigation stating that the humanity has not grown up to the ideal education and its development is in the continuous process.
If you want to prepare a good research proposal on education, improve your knowledge of the topic reading reliable literary sources which reveal the problem in detail. It will be useful to read the books and articles on the history of education to realize in what way education has developed since the dawn of the human civilization and compare the difference of education in various historical periods. Then, collecting all possible data, read several free samples of research proposals on education to get to know the way of presentation of information and the type of the required data.
Summarising the proposal present your vision of the ideal education and prove that it is the most essential thing for the development of the human civilization.

ACF Inc AWARD CRITERIA
There are eight levels:
AoE - Award of Excellence BRZ AoE - Bronze Award of Excellence SLV/AoE Silver - Award of Excellence GLD/AoE - Gold Award of Excellence SAP/AoE Sapphire - Award of Excellence RBY/Ao /Ruby - Award of Excellence EMD/AoE Emerald - Award of Excellence DIA/AoE Diamond -Award of Excellence
Each level requires 10 Award of Excellence certificates. Cats may receive this award posthumously.
1) All cats (i.e. exhibits over nine months of age) registered with any affiliate of ACF or CCCA are eligible.
2) Cats must be entered in the class by the Show Secretary. The class is to be a free class.
3) The Award of Excellence is issued in the following manner:
Maximum Certificates to be awarded per show :One certificate per SEX per GROUP:
- titled or untitled Male, Female, Neuter, Spay
- separated into Group One, Group Two, Group Three
- be of sufficient merit, i.e. the cat is deemed to be of a standard of excellence of not less than 95 per cent
(no more than six certificates to be awarded per show for entires)
(no more than six certificates to be awarded per show for desexed.)
4) In the case of "multiple ring" shows, each ring is to be considered as a "separate show" and certificates are to be awarded accordingly.
5) A record of certificates issued at each show is to be kept and checked by each affiliate's registrar or secretary who will verify applications.
6) Applications for ACF Awards of Excellence must be made on the appropriate form and be certified correct by the affiliate registrar or secretary
7) Applications must be made through the affiliate.
8) Applications must be accompanied by 10 original award certificates and sent to the affiliate's registrar or secretary
9) For each level, applications must be accompanied by a $25.00 fee.
10) Application for cats registered with an ACF affiliate must be made as above.
(Application for titles for cat registered with an affiliate of CCCA can be made as above, through the ACF affiliate control in the State of residence, or can be sent direct to the ACF AoE Registrar, on the appropriate form, with 10 original certificates and payment.)
11) Affiliates may submit endorsed photocopies of certificates to the ACF AoE Registrar.
12) Affiliates must submit the prescribed $25.00 fee with all applications to the ACF AoE Registrar.
(N.B. ACF Award certificates earned when a cat was entire can be carried on towards further awards after the animal is desexed.)The awarding of a certificate is to be regarded as a mark of excellence in a particular exhibit. It is not to be regarded as an automatic award in any respect.
ACF's Distinguished Merit Award (ACF DM) is effective from 1 January 1999. This is a title conferred by ACF on cats that have produced outstanding offspring and ACF DM then follows the name of the cat in question. .It requires no fee, but does entail submission of conclusive proof of wins. This title may be added to pedigrees retrospectively.It is open only to cats registered with an ACF affiliate.There are different criteria for male and female cats and the requirements are as follows:
Male cat: Has sired
- Five offspring that win ACF AoE title; or
- Three offspring that have won Best of Group at ACF National shows.
Female cat: Has produced
- Three offspring that have won ACF AoE title; or
- Two offspring that have won Best of Group at ACF National shows.
In the event of a cat winning AoE as an entire, and then winning an additional 10 certificates as a neuter (these wins having been recorded with the ACF Secretary in the usual way), the latter win also counts towards the parents' scoring.Applications are to be supported by a photocopy of catalogue pages, or a statutory declaration naming cats and shows involved, forwarded to the ACF Secretary, who will check these details with ACF records and/or show organisers.Owners of any cats awarded a DM title are invited to submit a clear photograph and short biography on the cat to the ACF Yearbook editor for inclusion each year on a page featuring all winners.
For Entire Cats:
- ACF National Champion (ACF NAT CH)
- ACF National Grand Champion (ACF NAT GD CH)
For Neutered Cats:
- ACF National Premier (ACF NAT PR)
- ACF National Grand Premier (ACF NAT GD PR)
There are two ways to qualify for the ACF National Titles:
- Three Challenges/Awards of Merit awarded at three different ACF (Inc.) National Shows, by three different judges.
- Two Challenges/Awards of Merit, awarded at two different ACF (Inc.) National Shows, by two different judges; plus three Challenges/Awards of Merit, awarded at other shows by ACF (Inc.) international judges or overseas judges.
The last Challenge/Award of Merit must be awarded at least 20 months after the first.Note: "Different ACF (Inc) National Shows" means shows held in different years.APPLICATION FEE: $25.00
APPLICATIONS: To be made on the appropriate form, with copies of Challenge/Award of Merit Certificates which qualify for the title according to the necessary requirements as shown above.If the cat is registered with an affiliate of the ACF (Inc.) application must be lodged through the Registrar/Secretary of the particular affiliate.If the cat is registered with an unaffiliated control, a copy of the cat's Certificate of Registration must also be forwarded with the application.

"You look interesting" as the little boy looked my son up and down and my son just stood there, not saying a word to the comment.
My mind started racing, "How dare that little boy say 'You look interesting' to MY son! Why does my son look "interesting"? He's only 4 and you're in what? 1st grade…don't say my son looks "interesting," welcome him into the group!"
This all happened in a matter of a few seconds during our school tour the other day. My son was so excited to tour this school that he may be attending next school year, and the first interaction with the first classroom was a little boy saying, "You look interesting."
I don't think the boy meant anything by it, but the Mama bear in me immediately thought the worst!
After the few seconds had passed, the little boy welcomed him into the activity and all the other kids introduced themselves. The class was so excited because there was another little boy with the same name as my son.
Later on in the tour, the class passed by our son in the hallway and they were all calling out his name, waving hello, and so excited to see him again. We headed into their classroom, and they all welcomed my son onto the carpet to join in the story time.
My fears have officially surfaced with the realization that my son will be entering kindergarten next school year. I know all these fears are common with moms, but that doesn't make them any easier to handle.
Common fears and ways to work through these fears are given in this article for Moms sending their kids to school for the first time, or for the 13th time!
Fears sending your kids to school:
Fear #1: Bullying
I don't know about you, but this is my number 1 fear for sending my child to school. Bullying has become an unavoidable problem in schools these days. Children are becoming meaner and meaner at younger ages.
Bullying in itself can have an entire post dedicated to the topic, and I probably will write one about it in the future, but I'm going to graze on the topic now because it's such a huge fear.
Bullying is something that can affect your child for the rest of their life, physically, mentally, and socially. And there's not much you, as a parent, can do about bullying at school that can guarantee to solve the problem. There are skills you can teach your child if they are ever bullied.
Skills for a child being bullied:
- Encourage open communication with your child about everything. Praise your child for being brave enough to talk about what is happening.
- Take away the trigger that is causing the bullying (lunch money, a certain shirt/toy/shoes/pants)
- Tell your child to try not to react to the bully. Don't show anger when the bully is around.
- Find a friend and buddy up with them. (Go to the bathroom with them, eat lunch together, have a buddy on the bus)
What a parent can do:
- Know the school policies about bullying
- Arrange a meeting with the bully's parents in a neutral setting, with preferably a school official mediating
- Teach your child not to bully.
- Teach your child to stand up for other kids who may be targets of bullies.
- Always, always, always be in your child's corner! Never let them feel alone in the battle with the bully.
Signs your child is being bullied:
- Changes in eating habits. Children may not be eating at school due to bullying.
- Decreased self-esteem
- Unexplainable injuries
- Lost or broken personal items
- Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
This is not in any way an exhaustive list.
Fear #2- Falling behind in school
Another common fear is that your child will fall behind in school. This can cause issues for children in school from acting out to coiling up and losing their self-esteem. The good news with this fear is that it's easier to work out with your child versus the first fear.
Ways to help your child from falling behind in school:
- ABC Mouse-This is a great online program used by teachers and families for children from ages 2-8. You can get a free 30-day trial by signing up through here. Your child can get extra help in the subject areas they need help with.
- Ask the teacher for suggestions to help your child learn at home.
- Bring your child to an eye doctor! (S/he may need glasses to help focus!)
- Search Pinterest for ideas to teach the subject your child needs help with. Pinterest is full of suggestions!
- Help them with their homework! You'll notice if they struggle and know where your child may need some extra help.
- Hire an after-school tutor
- Ask the teacher if your child can get extra help after school
Fear #3- Socially don't fit in
My son will be young entering Kindergarten. The state we're in has a cut off date just passed his birthday, making him one of the youngest in his grade. I've struggled with this idea. I'm afraid my son will be immature in some aspects of school because of his age.
What can you do to help?
- Keep in mind that it's not a flaw if a child doesn't fit in socially!
- Teach children how to be a good friend. Brainstorm what characteristics would make a good friend.
- Focus on the child's strengths.
- Practice with the child small talk conversations.
- Teach them how to introduce themselves to new people.
- Teach your child to ask about others' interests. Finding a common interest will help a child find friends.
- Role-play with your child so they can practice the skills that are most challenging for them. You may find you already do this with your child. I find myself asking my child, "What do you say?" a lot after someone does something nice. Or at the playground, my son used to run over to me and ask if he can play with another little kid. I'd always tell him to go ask the other little child
Just like you would do if your child is struggling in academics, you need to practice the skills to boost their chance of succeeding.
Fear #4- Child will be scared/have anxiety
Nerves are very normal. I was always nervous about starting a new school/having a new teacher/making new friends. I still get nervous with big changes in my normal routine (i.e. having a new baby, moving to a new city, changing jobs, etc.)
What can you do to help?
Don't focus on what bad things could happen, focus on all the positives of school.
My son got his vaccines at his last doctor's appointment. I was secretly so afraid he will be nervous about it and cry because of them. To prepare my son, I casually told him that he was going to get his vaccines but they were no big deal. The vaccines will help keep the germ bugs away. And that they'll hurt a little but it's quickly over and no big deal. (I didn't believe a word I was saying, I'm sure because I secretly had the anxiety over vaccines myself.) Guess what happened! He didn't cry and wasn't scared. He thought of them as no big deal and acted that way too! I was shocked!
Parents have more influence over their child's behavior than what they realize. If you're calm and encouraging of situations, your child will be calm and positive going into situations.
Go to school tours/orientation
Allow your child a chance to get to know the teachers and school before attending. We've already been to the school my son will be attending in the fall twice, and we'll still visit a couple more times before he attends on his own.
Ensure your child feels comfortable enough to ask for help when they need it
Practice this skill, because it is a skill! When a child is struggling with something, like zipping their jacket, wait to jump in to help. Let them struggle until they ask for help. If they get frustrated instead of asking, prompt them to ask, and then help them. If you jump in to help when they are throwing a fit and frustrated about it, they'll learn that's the behavior to exhibit in order to get help.
Fear #5- Too many pressures in school
Schools are going to give the work they give. There's not much a parent can do about the work that is given. But parents do have control over the pressure put on the child to perform to high standards.
What can you do to help alleviate the pressures in school?
Cut down on the extracurriculars.
My son has been in basketball and swimming or soccer and swimming since he was 3, but he didn't have the pressures of school at that time. Once he starts school, we're cutting back. He won't do any extras in the fall to help him adjust to his new schedule. He might be able to handle the extras, but I want him to continue to be a kid. I need time to relax at home, and so does he. There's no reason to have a ton of after school activities at such a young age.
Focus on the positives. Don't dwell on the areas the child could use extra help with.
Congratulate your child on the good work they've done in school. Address the areas they could use help with, but don't make that the focus. And do NOT congratulate them and then add the "but" at the end of the congratulations. It's no longer a positive thing that you are saying to your child by adding the "but" statement.
- Good job writing your letters so neatly, but it looks like you wrote this letter backward. (NO!)
- "Wow! Look at how neat your letters are written! You must be practicing so hard!"
- Later- "I noticed your B was backward, that's a tricky letter! Let's work on some tricks to help remember for next time!"
Most importantly, at such a young age, let them be a kid!
Let them play! School success is important, but playing is just as important, especially at a young age! They learn so much through play! Don't let them get burnt out from academics by pushing them too hard!
Wrapping it up
These fears are unavoidable. Children grow up and are exposed more to the world around us. As parents, we would love to protect our children from any "bad" but that's impossible. I hope you have found some comfort in reading this knowing you are not alone in your feelings.
Are there any big fears you have sending your child to school, whether for the first time or 1000th time?

Post Bacc Programs (cont'd)
If there's any downside to entering a similar program, it's the commitment of time and money, which Mojgani said should be a decision involving research and talking with many people.
"I think that anyone considering medicine should make a huge effort to speak to people in the post-bacc and medical school programs," he says. "It is a key to know how much of an investment of time, money and energy you are committing to…since once you are in the program it is often too late to change your mind."
The University of California's Resnik agrees. "There's no rating system for these programs, which vary widely in objectives, cost and effectiveness," he says. He urges prospective students to ask a lot of questions, and talk to current participants and faculty. One important question, he says, is finding out the acceptance rate to medical school for graduates of the post-bacc program. Other basic questions:
How will students access the faculty teaching the program? What is the average length of stay for students? What types of other support including help in the critical MCTA test and other services are offered?
Study the issue, and take time to make up your mind, Resnik urges.

What's the Composition of Brown Fused Alumina/ Brown Aluminum Oxide
Brown corundum is a kind of high-grade synthesis raw materials, belongs to alumina series. Made of high-quality bauxite, coke, iron and other auxiliary materials. These materials are refined in the arc furnace at high temperature. Corundum is a kind of high quality abrasive material which make it is widely used in sand blasting, rust removal, optics, electronics, building materials, refractory industry, mechanical processing, instrumentation, printing, grinding, stone, rubber, hydrojet and polishing and cutting industries. So what is the composition of brown fused alumia? What is the effect of each component on its performance? Here, we will introduce the composition of brown fused aluminum oxide.
The main component of brown fused alumina is aluminum oxide, including iron oxide, titanium oxide, calcium oxide, sulfur dioxide and other impurities. Microscopic examination of brown fused alumina showed that it was composed of α-alumina grains and was adhered together by a small amount of glassy slag (see Fig. 2). Corundum, which satisfies typical Btechnical conditions, consists of more than 95% alpha-alumina crystals and is composed of Al2O3 solid solution containing Ti2O3. Most of the vitreous slag is composed of silica, titanium dioxide, and other trace oxides present in the electric arc furnace. These oxides form a glassy phase, which has only a low solubility in the crystal structure of the alumina grains. For brown fused alumina abrasive grain, alumina content of not less than 95%, this range means that the alumina content of less than 95.00%, non-corundum mineral composition corresponding increase, will affect the abrasive grinding performance. However, higher than 97.5% will make the toughness of corundum greatly reduced, and the color will be bad, so do not want more than 97.50% Al2O3 content. But it should be emphasized that: Al2O3 content is higher than 97.50% of the corundum block is not defective, although its toughness is reduced, but the hardness and grinding capacity is not inferior. This corundum is known as semi-brittle corundum in foreign countries, in the country known as high alumina corundum.
The titanium oxide content of brown corundum also has a great impact on its color. Therefore, the national standard on the chemical composition of brown aluminum oxide also provides the content of titanium oxide, 1.50% ~ 3.80%. If the titanium oxide is less than 1.50%, the corundum color will become gray; if the titanium oxide content exceeds 3.80%, will affect the Al2O3 content. The content of iron oxide also has a greater impact on corundum color, will make the abrasive color black. However, the national standard in all corundum abrasive chemical composition of the Fe2O3 content are not specified. The reason is: the content of iron oxide on the magnetic properties of abrasive greater than the color. GB has strictly regulated the content of magnetic substances in the magnetic content standards of abrasive , has extremely strictly limited the content of iron oxide. In fact, make indirectly requirements on the iron oxide content .

Playgrounds can be fun, but they can also feel chaotic. Check out these 9 playground rules to remember so everyone plays nicely with others.
The playground—one of the best ways to keep the kids active, right? It's free, it's outdoors, and kids are left to their own creative devices.
Except sometimes spending time at the playground doesn't go so smoothly. Too many kids clamor up the jungle gym, older kids collide with toddlers, and parents are oblivious to their kids' antics.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have playground rules everyone can follow?
If you and your kids are alone or nearly alone in an empty playground, many of these playground rules won't always apply. An empty playground is a wonderful way for kids to explore where they don't always have to play "the right way."
But with other kids around, we need to teach ours the proper ways to interact with others and how to use the playground.
9 playground rules to remember
And so, below are nine playground rules you and your kids should remember. We'll start with the kids, since they're the ones doing most of the playing. Check out a few rules to teach your child the next time you head to the playground.
1. Don't walk up the slide
Yes, it's fun to see just how high you can walk up the slide, and this might be fine when no one else is around.
But if another child is ready to swoop down the slide, your face is a perfect target for her feet. Instead, save slide-climbing when no one's there, and line up behind the other kids ready to slide down.
2. Watch out for smaller kids
I've seen twelve-year-olds climbing into baby swings and catapulting off the toddler area. Other times I'll see a five-year-old run around and accidentally knock a toddler down.
Older kids, no matter what age, need to be careful about the younger ones around them. They're more capable than younger kids and need to be mindful of their surroundings.
No rough housing when a play date of one-year-olds are sitting on the grass or jumping off the equipment when a three-year-old is right below you.
3. Be mindful of the swings
You're pushing your child in the swing when another one darts across and almost collides with him. Or maybe your child likes pushing the empty swing only for another kid to walk by and get smacked in the face.
With others around, kids need to use the swings correctly. And they need to steer clear of swings in motion to avoid colliding with the bottom of someone's shoes.
4. Don't throw sand or chips
I thought they were replacing our playground sand with foam turf. "Finally!" I said. "Now the kids can't throw sand anymore."
Well… turns out they didn't install the soft foam floor—they replaced sand with wood chips.
And when kids get their hands on sand or chips, their first instinct is to toss handfuls of it in the air, right when everyone's around them.
So kids, don't throw sand or chips. Again, at least while others are nearby. Throwing sand is cool, but not when it gets into someone's eyes—and no one likes chips poured on their head.
5. Don't point sticks at people's faces
Did you know the stick was inducted as one of the best toys in the Toy Hall of Fame? The stick is one of the coolest toys around. My kids have used them as pencils, canes, wands, cooking utensils, you name it.
Sticks are awesome, except when other kids are around and you're pointing it at someone's face. You'll likely jab an unsuspecting child or adult with the end of your stick.
6. Apologize for accidents and misdeeds
I'm not one to force kids to say "sorry," but we should still encourage them to do so, even if they hurt someone accidentally. Teach your child empathy and explain how apologizing is one thing they can do to fix their mistakes.
So, that was for the kids. But as we know, kids aren't the only ones who make playground etiquette mistakes. Parents, now it's your turn to learn playground rules.
7. Watch your kids
I used to judge other moms who would sit at the park bench while their kids played. Why weren't they interacting with their kids?!
Well, now you'll find me sitting at one of the benches. I'm giving my kids the free space to explore on their own and learn to make friends. I step in when needed, but I give them (and myself) time and space.
Still, that doesn't mean my kids are unsupervised. Sure, check your email, but look up once in a while. Do your 50 squats and step exercises, but know where your child is.
Because there will always be that kid who's up to no good, or is about to fall seven feet off the ground, and the parent is nowhere to be seen.
Parents, watch your kids. Keep an eye out. You don't have to hover and solve your child's social conflicts or spot them every time they climb, but at least stay near to coach them through their snuffle.
8. Be kind to other kids
I have no problem telling other kids that no, it's actually my toddler's turn to climb the ladder. But I do so kindly and respectfully, just as I would want my toddler to do.
Sometimes you'll see that parent who calls out another child and disciplines him for who knows what. Yes, we're all mama bears and protective, but we don't have to be rude to other kids. You wouldn't want your child to act that way to others, or for other parents to treat your child that way.
9. Don't force kids to share
I hear this all the time at the playgrounds: "Share!"
Sharing is awesome, but only when it comes from the child's initiative. Encourage your kids to share and highlight how doing so has made the other child happy. ("Can you share the steering wheel with the other boy? Look how happy you made him! Thank you for sharing.")
But sharing isn't always appropriate or effective. What if your child wasn't done with the steering wheel yet? Or what if he doesn't feel like interacting with other kids right now?
Instead, give your child a heads up ("Five more spins on the wheel"). Encourage turn-taking ("…then let him have a turn…"), or even playing together ("…or you guys can find a way to steer the pirate ship together").
Read why kids shouldn't be forced to share.
Heading to the playground makes for a fun family activity, especially when both kids and adults follow the rules.
Kids should be aware of their surroundings, including watching out for younger kids and playing safely. Swings and slides should be used correctly if tons of other kids are using them as well. And parents, we need to keep an eye on our kids and be kind to others as well, despite your mama bear instincts.
Parks and playgrounds are some of my favorite go-to spots to take my kids. And with the right etiquette—for both them and myself—we can still play nice and have fun.

Poetry by Heart Winner!
St Augustine's Poetry by Heart finals took place last Friday, 22nd January in the Main Hall. We were delighted to welcome published poet Josephine Corcoran, and welcome back Mrs Yvonne Lever, who joined our very own Head 0f Drama, Miss Hooper on our panel of judges.
Students who wished to participate were required to learn – by heart – two poems, one from the pre-1914 selection, and one from the post-1914 selection. All students had to perform in front of their classes in order to be considered for the finals, and we were fortunate to have eighteen finalists on the day.
The competition was tough, and, in front of an expectant Year 10 crowd, the competitors conquered their nerves to deliver a range of poems with their own thoughtful, perceptive and dramatic interpretations.
The judges were finding that choosing a winner was challenging, but after a gruelling hour and a half, during which it became abundantly clear that everyone who took part had won by merely conquering their fears, three students were adjudged to be outstanding.
Megan Marszal and Jessica Knollys were both highly recommended, but Clover Kayne won the overall competition, with two heart-rending performances of 'Envy' and 'Dusting the Phone'. She will now go on to represent the school at the regional finals in Bath on Monday, February 22nd.

Rep. Holt Introduces Amendment to Reinstitute Office of Technology Assessment
Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) has offered an amendment to the Legislative Branch appropriations bill looking to fund the Office of Technology Assessment, an office of the United States Congress from 1972 to 1995 before being defunded by Congress in 1995. OTA's purpose was to provide Congressional members and committees with objective and authoritative analysis of the complex scientific and technical issues of the late 20th century, i.e. technology assessment. It was a leader in practicing and encouraging delivery of public services in innovative and inexpensive ways, including distribution of government documents through electronic publishing. Its model was widely copied around the world. Since the OTA is no longer in existence, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has tried to fill the gap by establishing a technology assessment unit, but it is not on par with the OTA. The OTA would be an independent, non-partisan entity available to members of Congress to help explain to them complex scientific issues. The amendment proposes $2.5M for OTA, a tiny amount of money for a program with a potentially large.
UPDATED: The Holt amendment failed by a vote of 176-235. Thank you to those of you who reached out to your representatives

The Internet of Things is upon us. This maybe a frivolous ten with no, apparent, value other than what it is, but I would suggest that we are going to see more off line interaction with the on-line world in the near future.
The production of visual information via info-graphics is going to be very prevalent. After all we see more data in one day now than most people got in a life time in the past, so access to "quick understanding" is going to be key – methinks.

WASHINGTON, January 20, 2014—In a historic ruling earlier this month, an Indonesian court fined palm oil company PT Kallista Alam $30 million after finding the company guilty of illegally clearing 1,000 hectares of Sumatran forest and peat land for a palm oil plantation.
The land in question, in the Aceh province, was protected by several Indonesian conservation laws and a presidential decree refusing new permits to clear peat lands and several types of forest. The company was fined 114.3 billion rupiah ($9.5 million) as compensation and 251.7 billion rupiah ($21 million) for reforestation of the affected forests.
Palm oil is currently the most widely produced vegetable oil in the world and found in an astounding variety of foods, coming at a very large human and environmental cost. Driven by high demand and even higher prices, palm oil further endangers threatened species, destroys rainforests, contributes to climate change and hides a variety of human rights violations.
Extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree, palm oil production is concentrated in the tropical regions of Indonesia, Malaysia, Colombia, Ghana and New Guinea.
Palm oil produced in Indonesia and Malaysia makes up 90 percent of total global palm oil production, making palm oil plantations the main driver of deforestation in these areas.
In 2006, there were 11 million hectares of palm oil on the planet, six million in Indonesia, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). By 2011, Indonesia had nine million hectares of palm oil plantations, with 26 million projected for 2025, according to Rainforest Rescue.
Rapid deforestation affects hundreds of species, including threatened and endangered species like the Asian elephant, Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhinoceros, tapir, sun bear and orangutan. The Sumatran tiger, for example, is listed as critically endangered, with less than 500 left in the wild, according to the Rainforest Action Network (RAN).
Wild orangutan populations have decreased by 50 percent in the past decade and are in danger of becoming extinct within our lifetime, according to the Orangutan Project. Their habitat has been reduced by as much as 80 percent, according to RAN. This devastating loss of population is largely attributed to palm oil plantations, which pose several threats to these and other animals.
The spread of palm oil plantations and the resulting destruction of forests and peat lands also impacts climate change. While these areas are essential in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the draining and clearing of peat lands and the fires used to clear forests to prepare land for planting release carbon emissions.
In fact, Indonesian fires are suspected to have been one of the main sources of global carbon dioxide emissions in 1997, the year with the highest emissions on record since record keeping began in 1957, according to WWF.
With a long history of human rights violations, palm oil production has been associated with community conflict, illegal taking of community lands and destruction of traditional ways of life for several indigenous and jungle-dependent communities. In Indonesia, the rapid expansion of palm oil plantations endangers the lives and tramples the rights of millions of communities who rely on the jungle for their survival, livelihood, and cultural identity.
Child labor has been widely documented in many palm oil plantations, especially in Indonesia. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, palm oil is among the industries most known for forced and child labor. RAN estimates that between 72,000 and 200,000 children are employed on palm oil plantations.
Roughly half of all the products found in supermarkets contain palm oil, according to the RAN. It is used as a vegetable oil, but palm oil is also present in thousands of processed foods including ice cream, frozen foods, margarine, chocolate, fruit juice and commercially baked goods from cookies to cakes to breads.
RAN recently identified the "Snack Food 20," 20 U.S. companies that manufacture popular snack foods using what has come to be called "conflict" palm oil, i.e. palm oil that is produced in a way that contributes to deforestation, species extinction, climate change and human rights violations. These include Campbell Soup Company, General Mills, Dunkin' Brands, General Mills, Grupo Bimbo and Nestlé.
Several cosmetic and household products also contain palm kernel oil, including soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and laundry detergents.
Few producers list "palm oil" as an ingredient, however. They instead use the term "vegetable oil," or over 150 different names. There are several lists of alternate names for palm oil, including one from the Philadelphia Zoo, one from RAN, and one from Save Orangutans.
In 2004 several companies and NGOs formed the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), an organization to promote sustainable production of palm oil. However, RSPO has been criticized for certifying peat land and deforestation as sustainable and for having weak enforcement mechanisms. Many of the "Snack Food 20" belong to RSPO.
It is difficult to avoid palm oil and products containing it because it is not usually listed as an ingredient. The best way to avoid palm oil is to avoid commercially fried and baked foods as well as highly processed foods.
After the verdict in Indonesia, PT Kallista Alam stated that it had not broken any environmental laws or caused any pollution or environmental harm. Environmentalists and conservationists, however, are seeing the ruling as an enormous triumph.
The court's decision is indeed a huge victory, and represents one significant step in the right direction," said Graham Usher, Landscape Protection Specialist at PanEco Foundation to Orangutan Conservancy. "But I think many more such steps are needed before we will really see a change in the behavior of companies and officials."

The Director of IIT Delhi, along with the various Deans held the first session of interactions with the student community this Monday. He explained how IITD lacked a mechanism where the students could directly approach the administration regarding their problem, and the lack of communication between the deans and the students.
He encouraged the students to come forward with their problems, and interact directly with the administration. Sensing this need for a more direct form of communication, he explained the launch of the IITD complaints email address (email@example.com).
The complaints website is being directly monitored by the directors office, and each complaint is being personally reviewed by the director itself.
During the meet, he addressed certain problems such as the lack of common research facilities between labs of the same department, and promised allocations of funds for the same.
Further, various emails addressed the problem of defunct LAN Ports, which he said would be looked into, and at the same time, advocated that he would push for WiFi in the Hostels. Other areas, which he said are being looked into, are the problem of Dogs in campus, the quality of food, and the transformation to biometric attendance.
The BSP would like to thank the Director for personally holding these sessions to understand what difficulties the student community is facing, and working towards bridging this communication gap between the Student community and the Administration.
The Directors and the Deans addressing the students
